Jubilee Bible: From the Scriptures of the Reformation
Summary
In the Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB), the usage and context tends to define each key word so you don't need to depend on theological dictionaries or reference materials. Careful attention has been made to properly translate the first usage of each key word and through to the last occurrence. Then, as the word makes its way across the Old Testament and you make the correct match with the corresponding Greek word in the New Testament, an amazing pattern emerges. The Jubilee Bible is the only translation we know of that has each unique Hebrew word matched and mated with a unique English word so that the usage (number of occurrences and number of verses where the word occurs) sets forth a meaningful number pattern and a complete definition of what God means by each word.

Knowing God the Father: A Commentary on the Gospel and Epistles of John
Summary
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3) A commentary on the gospel of John and the three epistles of John. The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted. By the Holy Spirit, we can have such deep and intimate communion with Jesus and the Father "that seeing our love for one another, everyone shall know that we are his disciples." (John 13:35). About the Author Russell Stendal, a former hostage of Colombian rebels, is a lifelong missionary to that same group in the jungles of Colombia.

Job and the Place of Understanding
Summary
The book of Job fits chronologically between Genesis and Exodus, describing events that took place more than 150 years before Moses wrote the Pentateuch. Job was the first book to be written in fully developed Hebrew, and is undoubtedly one of the first books in the history of mankind. Out of 56 references to Satan in Scripture, 15 occur in Job. God chose to enter into a wager with Satan, with all of heaven looking on, regarding whether or not Job would remain faithful to God even if Satan were allowed to destroy Job’s possessions and even his health. This caused a situation on Earth that did not fit any of the politically correct philosophy that had developed after the flood In the end, Satan - along with his cruel tactics, subtle deception, and even his system for world domination - is completely exposed. Much of the book, however, is authored in code that is prophetic of what is happening and about to happen today.

The Tabernacle of David
Summary
What, exactly, does the tabernacle of David represent? In the new covenant, there is only one mediator between God and man. This is the Lord Jesus Christ, and he is presently seated upon a heavenly throne, high above all things. The ark is a representation of Christ and of how our reconciliation with God the father is made possible. The tabernacle of David depicts the heavenly realm touching the earth and is a living, prophetic parable of how we may come into a direct and personal relationship with God through Christ without intermediary clergy or religious, legalistic ritual. The once-and-for-all blood sacrifice at Calvary was required in order to put the new covenant into effect. However, the fullness of what is represented by the tabernacle of David (with the ark as its sole piece of furniture) will be restored at the second coming. "In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen and close up its breeches; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old…" (Acts 15:16) When God decided to cut off the corrupt house of Eli he said: And I will raise me up a faithful priest that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind, and I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before my anointed [Heb. Messiah] for ever. The faithful priest for whom God would build a sure house could not have been Samuel. The fact that he will walk before God’s anointed (Messiah) forever means that this does not refer directly to Christ. The only sure house that I can see that fits this bill is the house of David, which continued in God’s favor until the birth of Christ, and in Christ the royal priesthood of the order of Melchisedec continues forever; this even includes us, if we are in Christ. And in mercy shall the throne be established. The prophetic numbers of the Psalms, once decoded according to their trajectory through the Scriptures, unlock the stunning messianic narrative that will soon take place.

No Turning Back
Summary
Minutes before, the prosecutor had made his opening statement projecting only hatred and contempt toward my father, a missionary charged with rebellion. The police had arrested him the night before by covertly setting a trap. The press had already shamed and ridiculed him nationally and internationally, proclaiming his guilt on headline news before the hearing had even begun. The cold demeanor of the judge terrified us, and the odds seemed to be undeniably stacked against my dad. I looked at the judge's stern, intimidating eyes and wondered what my father would decide. She had laid the choice before him. He could face the trial (and be charged with 15 years or more in prison if she declared him guilty), or leave Colombia forever. "Choose the states," I prayed, "who knows what will happen to you here?" This book recounts some of the most important stories of my life, including how I found true love and how my father, Russell M. Stendal, was arrested and falsely accused of terrorism.
