Today we uploaded an extract from an article by Bible Advocate editor Jason Overman originally published back in 2007. Called “Conquest and Cravings: Food, Sex, and Baal Peor,” this unusual article looks at the use and misuse of  the twin pulls of food and sex throughout biblical history.  

As the article states: “The Bible explores food and sex and their potential for blessing or curse throughout its pages.  In story, in law, in poetry, the pairing of the two — in ways subtle or obvious — admonishes us of their dangers and delights.  They warn that we must master our appetite or be mastered by it.”  

The combination  of food, sex, and the ancient pagan god Baal frequently led to the downfall of the ancient Israelites.  Read our extract from “Conquest and Cravings” and see how the lesson from these ancient attractions is one from which we can still profit today. You can read the extract here.

Warriors of the Way: Christian Training, Combat and Victory –    
by R. Herbert. A new FREE eBook!


D
oes a “warrior” themed book about Christian living surprise you? Perhaps it should not – not only is God shown as a warrior figure more often than he is portrayed in any other way in the Bible, but also the New Testament frequently uses the image of the Christian as a warrior.  In fact, the warrior metaphor is probably used of the believer more than that of any other role or occupation.

Our new eBook looks at the biblical imagery of the Christian warrior and shows how we can better understand it to successfully prepare, fight, and triumph in the good fight to which we are called.

You can see a sample excerpt from Warriors of the Way in the blog post directly below this one, and you can download a free copy of the book for yourself (no registration or email needed)  in PDF, Kindle, or ePub format – just click your choice on our Downloads page here.
