In a world full of suffering and death, humans long for abundant life. Christians understand that in Christ God saves us from sin. But salvation must also include much more: being rescued from death, physical resurrection, and new life in the new creation. In this ESBT volume, Jeff Brannon explores how the hope of life after death is woven throughout Scripture—even in unexpected places. In the biblical narrative, the themes of life, death, and resurrection correspond with the biblical-theological categories of creation, fall, and redemption. As we follow these themes, Brannon shows, we gain a fuller understanding of the doctrine of resurrection and what it means for Christian faith and discipleship. Jesus' resurrection and the future resurrection of his followers truly changes everything. Essential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT), edited by Benjamin L. Gladd, explore the central or "essential" themes of the Bible's grand storyline. Taking cues from Genesis 1–3, authors trace the presence of these themes throughout the entire sweep of redemptive history. Written for students, church leaders, and laypeople, the ESBT offers an introduction to biblical theology.

______________

"Jeff Brannon's treatment of resurrection life more than amply provides what it promises: a biblical theology of resurrection, tracing the hope of resurrection throughout Scripture and redemptive history. Not merely a treatment of isolated instances of resurrections in the Bible, this rich study convincingly places resurrection squarely in the larger themes of creation and redemption. It inspires authentic hope of new life in Christ both in this life and in that which is to come. A refreshing and convincing read." O. Palmer Robertson, executive director of Consummation Ministries

A Fun and Wild Ride
Format: Kindle
Two brothers in arms go on amazing adventures, face impossible odds, and grow in ways they never expected. Down to earth, humble, and relatable characters with a continuously evolving storyline, what more could you ask for? Cool weapons and abilities? Epic battles? Magic? Yeah, it’s got all that too. This series just became a must read on my LitRPG recommendation list.

Excellent Parallel Worlds and Xianxia Story
Format: Kindle
The story follows two affable characters, Rugrat and Eric. Rugrat is a wonderfully written redneck and Erik plays the role of an exasperated and loyal brother in arms. The two main characters interactions between each other bring interesting banter to the different parts of the story that other wise progress too slowly. It’s a cultivation novel and the main characters often take a great deal of time learning more about the system and how they can leverage its powers. The magic system in world combines well with the parallel world aspect, and the main characters thrive in their new environment. The stats, like in many other stories in this genre, serve as relatively arbitrary plot pieces that could be easily handled without the stats. The potential for growth and the magic systems interesting interactions with modern technology makes the magic satisfying to read about. My favorite aspect of the story so far is the clashing of the honorable soldier mentality with the “might makes right” philosophy of martial arts cultivation novels. Though it’s clear the author heavily favors one philosophy over the other. A great read, and an excellent novel to enjoy as an audiobook.

Xianxia-inspired novel I can actually read
Format: Kindle
I've read (or attempted to read) several wuxia/xianxia stories in the past. This is probably the best of that genre that I've tried. I know, such a titillating opening statement, but hear me out: this story is very good. NOT great, but not the typical "my eyes wish to bleed from my skull" experience, either. Most Chinese fantasy is bad. I wish that were not so, hence me trying to find good stories. In general, the stories don't make a lot of sense, and the grammar and repetitive phrasing makes the translations a generally terrible experience. Coming from a background of looking at college student papers, I've had my fill of bad grammar and poor sentence structure; I don't need more. With an English speaking author at the helm, however, this was a pleasant ride. There were a few grammatical errors but nothing to get my pants in a twist over. The story mostly makes sense, with only the two main characters occasionally speaking like locals throwing me off a bit, as well as the two of them growing so used to elements of their surroundings and quest rewards. It just felt a little unnatural in places. My biggest gripe is how they suddenly sprout knowledge of city planning and infrastructure. That really felt out of character, and came out of left field. Other than that, I think this was a solid first entry for this series.
