Know the Story: Journey into the World of the Gospels and Acts with Prof. J.T. Alexander

Know the Story invites readers to journey into the world of the Gospels and Acts through the classroom of Professor J. T. Alexander, a seasoned missionary, archaeologist, and New Testament scholar. Drawing upon decades of teaching and ministry experience, the professor guides a diverse group of students beyond a merely academic reading of Scripture and into the unfolding story of God’s mission.

Through engaging lectures, classroom conversations, archaeological discoveries, personal memories, and encounters with the social and religious world of the first century, readers explore the historical setting of Jesus, the distinctive witness of the four Gospels, and the outward movement of the gospel from Jerusalem toward Rome. Along the way, Professor Alexander introduces a missiological theology centered on the missio Dei – the conviction that God continually moves toward humanity and invites His people to participate in that movement.

Blending historical fiction, biblical teaching, and spiritual formation, Know the Story helps readers see the New Testament not simply as a collection of ancient writings, but as an unfinished story in which they have been invited to participate.

Historical

Love in the Shadow of Freedom

England, 1827. Known as the Liberator’s daughter, Lizzie Wilberforce is loyal to her father’s passionate work for the abolition of slavery and the Christian faith that inspired it. Her discovery that Charles—the man who has won her heart—is the absentee owner of a West Indian sugar plantation sparks a private battle to win him to the cause of Emancipation. But Charles’ life of privilege and influence is built on a rigid scaffold of denial—one that is threatened by the arrival of Stuart, his plantation accountant. Stuart has returned to England carrying the grim details of the estate’s operations and is conflicted about whether his silence is a price he is still willing to pay.

Across the ocean, Rachel is sold to Charles’ plantation after being forcibly separated from her husband. There she faces the brutality of a life governed by a ruthless manager and a master who has never seen the sugar cane fields.

As the public debate over emancipation intensifies across England, it is mirrored in the conflict between Lizzie and Charles. When it becomes more difficult for Charles to keep disturbing realities at a distance, both Lizzie and Charles must decide if their bond can survive the profound cost of the truth.

Devotional

Every Perfect Gift (From the Father of Lights)

Every Perfect Gift is a 52-week Christian devotional that helps young readers encounter God through the awe-inspiring details of His creation. Each week highlights a fascinating topic from science and the natural world of animals, in addition to bi-weekly topics (The human brain, lightning, the ocean, flight, the unseen world of gravity, air, and magnetism, sound, the human eye, etc.) Science and clear biblical truths are connected with spiritual applications. Rather than separating science from faith, this devotional reveals how creation itself reflects the wisdom, creativity, and intentional design of a creative, loving, and holy God. Each weekly theme includes: compelling facts from science and nature, a connection to a scripture passage or passages, a devotional reflection, a brief prayer, and a Did You Know? section. This devotional bridges a growing gap between science curiosity and and biblical discipleship for young readers (8-12) However, readers 8-80 who desire knowledge about science and animals in particular, and who also wish to grow spiritually will find this devotional fascinating. It is designed for pre-teens, teens, and even young adults who are naturally inquisitive about how the world works, helping them to see the wonder, creation, and design of a loving God whose greatest creation is themselves. Hopefully, the young reader will be encouraged to see the fingerprints of God in every part of creation—from the smallest cell to the vastness of the universe.

How Can I Help You? Building a Legacy of Purpose Through Servant Leadership

Effective leadership is rooted in serving others rather than seeking power or personal gain. Great leaders put the needs of their team first by building trust, demonstrating integrity, and creating an environment where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed. They lead with humility, recognizing that their primary responsibility is to help others grow, develop their strengths, and reach their full potential.

Servant leaders invest in relationships by listening with empathy, communicating openly, and encouraging collaboration. They lead by example, offering guidance, sharing knowledge, and providing opportunities for learning and professional growth. Rather than focusing on individual recognition, they celebrate team accomplishments and ensure others receive the support and resources they need to thrive.

Leadership is also about showing compassion during challenges. Effective leaders remain approachable, extend grace when mistakes occur, and encourage resilience by helping employees learn and improve. Their willingness to serve, mentor, and advocate for others builds confidence, loyalty, and a strong sense of purpose.

The greatest leaders understand that lasting success is measured not by personal achievements but by the positive impact they have on the lives of others. By consistently serving their teams with humility, kindness, and integrity, they inspire people to grow, perform at their best, and become future leaders who continue the cycle of service.

Put People First: The Heart of Leadership

True leadership begins with putting people first. Rather than focusing on authority, recognition, or personal success, effective leaders serve others by creating an environment where individuals feel valued, respected, and supported. They understand that their greatest responsibility is helping people grow, develop their strengths, and reach their full potential.

People-first leaders lead with humility, empathy, and integrity. They listen carefully, encourage diverse perspectives, and build trust through honest communication and consistent actions. By investing in relationships, they create a culture where collaboration thrives, challenges become opportunities for learning, and everyone feels empowered to contribute.

Putting people first means extending grace when mistakes occur. Instead of assigning blame, people-first leaders coach, mentor, and encourage improvement. They advocate for their teams by removing obstacles, providing the resources needed for success, and recognizing individual and collective achievements. Their focus remains on developing others rather than seeking personal recognition.

The most meaningful measure of leadership is the positive impact made on the lives of others. Leaders who consistently put people first inspire loyalty, strengthen teams, and create lasting influence. By serving with kindness, humility, and purpose, they build organizations where individuals succeed together and future leaders are developed through a culture of trust, respect, and service.

Prophecy

Things Which Must Soon Take Place

End-time prophecy can seem complicated and confusing. There are many eschatological views on end-time events, ranging from pre-tribulation to post-tribulation and everything in between. Because these views differ, they cannot all be correct, and it can be difficult to know which one is true. This book does not label the end-time view it presents; instead, it allows Scripture to speak for itself. It explains prophetic events in a logical way, using passages from both the Old and New Testaments. Details from prophetic passages throughout the Bible are brought together to clarify the sequence of events. Each chapter is grounded in biblical truth and includes proof texts to support each concept. After reading this book, you will gain a clearer understanding of end-time eschatology and find order in a topic that can otherwise feel complex and overwhelming. Contrary to popular belief, the Bible is remarkably transparent in revealing the timing of many end-time events. This book uses Scripture to answer many questions that people often believe are unanswerable.
