Best Selling Books by Tyler Dawn Rosenquist

How well do you know the Bible? For too long we have read through the Scriptures as though they were composed in a timeless vacuum - but the peoples of the Ancient Near East and the First-Century knew things that we are no longer aware of, and saw the world in ways that are foreign to modern readers. The last 100 years of archaeology have upended much of what we thought we knew about the most important Book ever composed - the Bible. Archaeology, far from detracting from Biblical credibility - has solidified it. The sixty-six witnesses to the ministry of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were written to specific people, and were composed in specific languages in the recognized literary styles of the time. That we have strayed from those ways of thinking and writing in no way invalidate the legitimacy of Scripture, but it does provide us with the unique challenge of needing to go back in order to see the Scriptural accounts from the eyes of the ancients. What did Covenant mean in the ancient world? What were the Kingly mandates of Justice and Righteousness? How do we know that the Land of Israel belongs to the sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob forever and that the Levitical Priesthood will and must be reinstated in the future? How do we know that the Messiah of Israel has already come and will return? What was the real debate raging in the First-Century Assemblies - was it about Grace versus Law or the Identity of the incoming Gentiles? King, Kingdom, Citizen is a book written to reintroduce God as our King, the Kingdom of Heaven as a real-world entity, and who we are in Messiah - through the eyes of those to whom this information was originally presented. Let me show you what Moses, the Prophets, and the Apostles knew about the Kingdom of Heaven.

Revised and expanded second edition!What have we settled for? Are we giving Him all He deserves? Everything of any importance in our lives as believers has to boil down to our relationship with our Creator, and yet we have been taught to settle for something lukewarm. We have relegated our walk with God to little more than a hobby, when the Scriptures plainly show us that God Himself is passionately in love with His people. He has revealed Himself as Father, Husband, King, and Master and has called each of us to become child, bride, ambassador and servant. How do we meet His level of commitment in a way that honors Him and proclaims His glory and truth to the world? It starts with understanding who He is, what He deserves, what He expects - and how it is all meant to manifest in our lives as the fulfillment of the two great commandments to love Him and our neighbors. The Bridge is going to challenge everything you think you know about God the Father. It is going to deepen your appreciation for Him, and I pray it will revive your first love. Through the revealed character of Jesus the Messiah of Israel, and through the writings of the Prophets and Apostles, I want to teach you how to live a life that is pleasing to God, a life that He rewards in the here and now -- the life that He has promised to bless from Genesis through Revelation. Let this book be your bridge into the fullness of Covenant life.

Can a ten week Biblical Sociology curriculum change your life and your children's future? Tired of sending your kids out into the world with verses memorized and yet losing them to the faith before they finish college? Let's face it, Atheists, unbelieving Bible hobbyists and even some believing College Professors tell our kids that the Bible wasn't written when it says it was, or for that matter by who it says it was written. The last 150 years of archaeology have proven the critics wrong but this information is not making it into the hands of the most vulnerable of believers - young college students. What if, as a family, you could study - in depth - what the people of the Ancient Near East and First Century knew, how they looked at the world and how they thought and interacted with each other? What if the Bible characters could become real flesh and blood people in the eyes of your children? What if they went out into the world armed with the kind of knowledge generally reserved for serious Bible scholars? What if I told you that I could do that hard research for you and then present it to your entire family in an easy to understand manner? Honor and Shame culture is how the ancient world operated - but their definition of words like honor and virtue are not in line with our modern understandings. Today the entire Islamic world operates according to these ancient understandings that Biblical people simply took for granted. Have you ever wondered why the crucifixion was really so brutal? Have you ever scratched your head wondering why Jesus and the Pharisees, Scribes, Elders and Chief Priests were always arguing - or why Nicodemus approached Jesus at night? Why was Saul trying to kill David, and why did Joseph's brothers really hate him so much? For that matter - why do Muslims all over the world today take pride in killing the most defenseless members of society? Honor and Shame culture is hidden in plain sight throughout the Bible, and understanding it will change the way you read it. It will change and equip your children - it will change and equip you.
