To What End the Sabbath? An Exegetical Study

Amar Pandey

The author, in To What End the Sabbath? An Exegetical Study, agrues that the Sabbath was a hummanitarian law. The primary concern of the Sabbath day was rest from labor everyone-rich and poor, master and slave, and even household animals. In additon to rest/Sabbath for the land, the sabbatical and the Jubliee years' concern was to prevent the poor from being endlesslu exploited. Nowhere does the Old Testament require any cultic activity from the general populace in Israel on the Sabbath. Therefore, the book also looks at how the church/Christians today can respond to the Old Testament Sabbath in light of the Chirst-event and the New Testament teaching

Christian Ministry

Understanding Christian Ministry

Amar Pandey

The call to Christian ministry is one of the highest vocations and can, in fact, be considered more than a vocation, but it is also one of the most challenging ones. A minister's life and ministry can have a great impact on people's life. This makes it exciting but also very frightening because, on the other side, a minister's hypocrisy or fall can have a destructive effect on many lives. Moreover, stress, burnout, and depression are not uncommon among ministers. A failure to understand the basics of Christian ministry, such as what it is and what it entails, is probably one of the main reasons for such hazards. On the other hand, when understood properly and carries out under God's guidance and the power of the Holy Spirit, the Christian ministry also brings enormous joy. Hence, understanding ministry and having the right philosophy of it is instrumental for a fruitful ministry. This book, thus, attempts to look at the fundamental issues of Christian ministry and the Christian minister.

Understanding Your Call

In this little book, the author addresses questions such as, Am I called (to ministry)? How do I hear God’s voice? How do I know God’s will (for my life)? How do I know whether I am following God’s will? What is ministry? Written in simple language and in a concise manner, the book will help the readers grow in their walk with the Lord. A brief testimony from a senior Christian minister narrating his practical life experiences of hearing God’s voice and following His will, further enriches this book.

Understanding and Living the Sabbath

Amar Pandey

Christians generally consider the Sabbath commandment significant primarily because it is one of the Ten Commandments, but there is ample confusion as to what it entails and if/how it should be observed. Understanding and Living the Sabbath addresses this problem as it deals with the Sabbath commandment and its observance in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the modern-day Church
