Simple Gifts is the gift of time and freedom. It is the simple presentation of the written word spoken without commentary. Join us in ruminating on great stories, poems, history, philosophy, theology, art and science. Amidst chaos, find the “valley of love and delight,” a true simplicity, where “to bow and to bend we will not be ashamed,” where we can ponder the greatest words ever written, turning them over and over, “till by turning, turning, we come round right.” If you enjoy our content, ...

In keeping with our intensive study of Israel's history this year, Jenny and I have concentrated our attention on the Exilic and Post-exilic prophets. We've included Jeremiah in this list, even though he spans the immediate pre-exilic period, leading up to the Babylonian exile. The most enigmatic exilic prophet, most certainly, is Ezekiel. His name…

The book of Nahum is one of the minor prophets, but its message is anything but small. Written in vivid Hebrew poetry, Nahum pronounces the downfall of Nineveh, capital of the Assyrian Empire, which had terrorized the nations—including Israel and Judah—with cruelty and oppression. Where Jonah emphasized Nineveh’s opportunity for repentance a centur…

Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?Micah 2:7 One of my favorite books of the Bible, highlighting the character of our God - faithful in steadfast love, but holy and righteous in His judgment.

The book of Job is wisdom literature, like Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. What can we add to what has already been written on the Book of Job? Is it the oldest book in the canon as its historical milieu would place it, or was it written (down) much later? Is it merely a literary story meant to illuminate the relation between God…
