Are you looking for Bible study lessons to share your faith in a culture that does not know the God of the Bible?

This book is excellent in 2 different areas:

An evangelism resource to give to, or go through with others.
Bible study lessons for your own understanding.

An Evangelism Resource

How do you share Christ with someone who believes that God is present in all of nature? When you speak of God, does your friend visualize a force or energy rather than a person? In a world where ‘spirituality’ has become popular and knowledge of God has all but disappeared, how do you share the good news of Jesus Christ? Just where do you find bible study lessons to communicate effectively to such people?

You've maybe tried to share your faith with someone only to be met with "I'm glad you've found your way to God but everyone finds him in different places and religions". The Western world has been influenced by cultures with belief in many gods, to the point where the people we talk to no longer have any understanding of the Bible or even of who God is.

"The ideal book to help explain the message of the Bible to our post-modern, post-Christian, & secular society." ~ Amazon.com (Reader Reviews)

What would happen if somehow the God of the Bible could be identified and set apart in people's minds from all the other gods that are followed? If somehow the authority of Scripture could again be established in people’s lives and Jesus Christ was recognized as the only way, the truth and the life?

Peels the Religion off the Bible

Students are introduced to what the Bible teaches in an objective presentation as Scripture is allowed to speak for itself. The gospel message is clearly given
Connects Scripture from the Ground Up

A chronological teaching of the Bible starting in the beginning and culminating at the cross

Sets Apart the God of the Bible

In a time where people are accepting and worshiping a plethora of gods, this book addresses what it is that makes the God of the Bible unique
Narrative Approach

Written in a story format with scripture integrated into the text
Visual Representations

Illustrations, charts and maps help emphasize the teaching and expand comprehension

By This Name was written as a tool of bible study lessons to help explain the message of the Bible to a postmodern, post-Christian, secular society. Beginning by identifying who God is and what makes him unique, the author moves through Scripture from creation to the cross. Each chapter lays a crucial block into the foundation for a correct understanding of the gospel. Filled with drawings, maps and diagrams to help communicate the message, By This Name peels the religion off the Bible and lets the ancient story speak for itself.

Stop feeling like you’re wandering in circles as you share the gospel and bring into focus the God of the Bible and the message of hope found in Jesus Christ.

Bible Study Lessons for your own understanding

Starting from the beginning and following through to the resurrection of Christ, the stories of the Bible are put together in way that makes incredible sense. After reading By This Name the message of the Bible will be come clear and logical - which is more than most people's understanding.

By this Name
By: colken November 01, 2009

Just returned home from a seminar with John Cross, the pieces of the puzzle were finally put all together for me. I went through many emotions while sitting in a room of thirty people. But noticed no one around me, it was like everything had come to a stand still in my life, except for the words on the pages…..............it was a 32 hour study of the book, and it brought me to God. This morning in church I raised my hand, stood up and told the people around me what an honor it was to have been invited to attend the seminar put on by “goodseed” and that I had given my life to the Lord…...God bless you John Cross…..........Amen

Divine Appointment?
By: russellJ October 02, 2009

I sold an old Suburban more than a year ago, but a few weeks ago I received a call from a guy who now had the suburban, but did not have a bill of sale from the guy he got it from. So he came over to my office to talk and see what we could do to get the title transferred to him, since the guy I sold it too never transferred the title. After a short while we began to talk about spiritual things and he mentioned that he has been looking into all sorts of religions, because he had a heart attack recently. I gave him a copy of By This Name, as it is the best book I have seen for helping people to understand that the God of the Bible is the one and only God. This books shows how God proved himself above all the gods of Egypt and every other god. I think this was a divine appointment, otherwise I would never have met this guy and I don’t know where he would have got questions answered.
