Phil Moore
Here are the first three volumes in a series
of devotional commentaries for those who
appreciate the insights and sound research found
in commentaries but find scholarly writing dry
and lacking in personal application. The Straight
to the Heart series does not cover the whole text,
but focuses on key sections which communicate
the main themes of each book. Although the tone
is light, the text is full of useful application and
backed by substantial scholarship. Its clear, thought-
provoking insights will feed both mind and soul.
The Straight to the Heart Commentary series
will total 25 volumes covering both the Old and
New Testaments, the next two volumes will cover
Genesis and 1 & 2 Corinthians.
“Phil Moore has served us magnificently
. . . He writes so relevantly and with such
submission to biblical revelation.”
—Terry Virgo, Newfrontiers
“Most commentaries are dull. These are
alive. Most commentaries are for scholars.
These are for you!”
—Canon Michael Green, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford
“Outstanding: biblical and passionate, clear and well-illustrated, simple
and profound. God’s Word comes to life as you read [Moore’s commen-
taries], and the wonder of God shines through every page.”
—Andrew Wilson, author of Incomparable
Features and Benefits
• Series: Straight to the Heart Commentary
• Short, informative, inspiring chapters, approximately 4 pages each, are ideal as a
daily devotional
• Backed by solid scholarship and pastoral experience
• The series will cover selected passages from all the books of the Old and New

A funny, inspirational account of Bible translation in
the Amazon
Our Witchdoctors Are
Too Weak
The Rebirth of an Amazon Tribe
Davey & Marie Jank
When Davey Jank started a new life
as a missionary among a remote
tribe in the Amazon jungle, he
entered a world most of us will never
encounter: a world where witchcraft
and shamanism are the trade of
the powerful; where fear drives a
timid and isolated society to acts of
desperation and the brink of despair;
where God’s Word has not been
heard.
Davey and his wife, Marie—and
the others who later join in the
mission—struggle to decipher and
learn the unwritten language of the
tribe. It takes years of comical and
tragic misunderstandings, correction,
and painstaking effort. Years in
which the Wilo people, sometimes
patiently and sometimes not so patiently, wait to learn what “God’s Talk” says.
Our Witchdoctors Are Too Weak is Davey and Marie’s honest and inspiring account
of their more than ten years among the Wilos. Their modern-day miracle is sure to
revitalize the reader’s desire to spread God’s word to every corner of the world.
“Your monthly letters are like chapters from a book I don’t want to put
down. You make missions real to me in all their grub and glory.”
—Laura Hartman, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
“I have read your newsletter several times over the last two days. I love
it. It is so refreshing to read such an honest, tell-it-like-it-is account of
your experience. It was just such a breath of fresh air.”
—Jennifer Watson, Owen Sound, ON
Features and Benefits
• Delightfully written with self-deprecating humor supporting a powerful spiritual
narrative
• Amazon and tribal stories occupy a particular niche in Christian public
imagination ever since publication of Through Gates of Splendor
• Vivid and eventful story filled with remarkable characters and nuggets of
information—How do you learn a language that is rich and nuanced, but which
has never been written down, which has no word for “no,” and not even a word
for “word”?

The corrupt cop busted by God
Running Scared
For 22 years he was a fugitive—
the corrupt cop busted by God
Robert Leon Davis
Robert Leon Davis was a street kid
from a tough community. Raised
on the brink of poverty, he and
his siblings often went hungry, but
with the help of a family in the
neighborhood, he beat the odds
and studied criminal law at Loyola
University and joined the New
Orleans police department in 1975.
He began his career with
aspirations of being a great cop,
but before long he was exposed to
a darker side of law enforcement.
While partnered with a veteran, Davis
first witnessed an officer violating
the very laws he had vowed to
uphold—and he shared in his crime.
One compromise led to another, and
Davis soon was caught and faced
a substantial prison term. Cops in
prison don’t last long. He fled.
Davis found himself a fugitive, living off the land in remote forests in the United
States and Canada to elude capture. His church upbringing was abandoned in anger. For
over twenty years he hid, becoming an expert survivalist.
He might still be running, but through a stranger’s prayer the angry atheist realized he
was weary of hiding. Slowly he yielded his life to God and eventually gave himself in.
But when the New Orleans DA dusted off his file, what would his sentence be?
Today, Robert Davis is a committed Christian and motivational speaker. He uses his
extraordinary experiences to share his message of hope and redemption to both adults
and children.

left his role as the senior leader
of a highly successful Anglican
congregation. Taking a big step of
faith, he founded a ministry called
The Father’s House, dedicated
to taking the Father’s love to the
fatherless and bringing an end to the
global pandemic of fatherlessness.
Mark took this risk because he
is convinced that our society has
been deeply damaged by absent or
brutal fathers. The churches can offer
a solution—a healing relationship
with our Heavenly Father—but many
Christians have been poorly fathered
and are bound by the legacy of this
wound. As long as believers are
restricted by the chains of their past,
their churches will not be a part of the
solution to fatherlessness; they will be a part of the problem. “The whole planet is waiting
for Christian believers to rise up as the adopted sons and daughters of Abba, Father.”
I Am Your Father is designed to help free Christians from their father wounds, so that
they are then capable of playing their part in healing our fatherless world. In part 1, Mark
takes a detailed look at fatherlessness. He describes the different ways in which fathers
can hurt their children and the ensuing toxic results. In part 2, he goes deeper, defining
the wound as “the orphan heart” and describing the main symptoms of this condition
in peoples’ lives. In part 3, he shows how Christians can find true healing through
experiencing the spirit of adoption and by using seven keys to freedom. Mark uses his
own story of being orphaned and adopted as the backdrop to this teaching.

“This is one of the most important and profound messages of our day,
and is sure to be a central part of what God uses to bring healing to the
body of Christ.”
—Bill Johnson, senior leader of Bethel Church, Redding, CA

Thus began Steve’s lifelong love of Japan. Over the years he would tussle with a
culture where courtesy wins over truth; where suicide is an honorable choice; where to
be foreign is to be forever alien. Time after time he would encounter miracles of healing,
provision, and protection as God looked after him, his wife, Evelyn, and their growing
family. In a resistant culture—that at the time had been recently bombed by the Christian
nation of America—he would see many come to Christ. This is the story of how a boy’s
grudging prayers were remarkably answered.

The definitive guide to gospel music, from early
spirituals to urban gospel
An Illustrated History of
Gospel
Steve Turner
Far beyond its stereotypic image
of robed choirs, gospel music—
through its solo singers and quartets,
its impresarios and recording
companies—has helped to give
voice to the history of black people
in America as well as shaping more
obviously secular musical forms such
as blues and rock ’n’ roll.
In this compelling and lively
study, Steve Turner tells the story of
gospel music against the backdrop
of the social and economic changes
taking place in the United States over
a century and a half. He traces how
the music expressed and nurtured the
spiritual life of African Americans who embraced Christianity in the context of slavery
and then in segregation and how it now occupies a prominent place in the worshipping
life of Christians, black and white, throughout America and around the world. In addition
Steve Turner also traces gospel music’s impact as a musical form, its movement into
the mainstream of popular music and its major period of popularity and influence in
the middle decades of the twentieth century. The book also features original interviews
conducted by the author with many of the legendary figures of gospel music and is
illustrated with photographs throughout.
Features and Benefits
• Thoroughly researched yet accessibly written by an acclaimed music journalist
and biographer
• A history of gospel music that explores its global reach and social and cultural
impact far beyond its African American and church origins
• Charts a compelling but largely untold thread of American life over the last two
centuries

A beautifully illustrated introduction to an ancient
spiritual practice
Labyrinth
Illuminating the Inner Path
Brian Draper
Mysterious and alluring, labyrinths
have been in use for over 4,000 years
as a means of exploring one’s spiritual
journey and searching for meaning
and guidance. Unlike a maze, where
there are decisions to be made and the
mind can be tricked, the labyrinth is a
unicursal or “one-path” design—a path
laid out for the seeker, much like our
own spiritual paths, to which we must
surrender, following God’s guidance.
Christian labyrinths date back
to the fourth century (in Algeria),
although the most famous instances came later (Chartres in the thirteenth century, for
example). Recent years have seen a revival of interest in this practice as a powerful
physical re-creation of the inner life. Illustrated with labyrinths from different designs,
locations, and ages, this unique volume is an inspiring, meditative guide to this ancient
and modern spiritual practice.
Features and Benefits
• The author is a recognized spirituality expert and guide
• An introduction to a long-neglected spiritual practice of the Christian faith
• Will appeal to those looking to supplement their traditional religious practice and
those looking for spiritual experience
