Review "The letter written by Jude is often ignored today, and so I was delighted to see such a helpful and practical explanation of Jude's message. Davis shows that individuals, churches, and our culture can't afford to ignore the message of Jude, for we must pay attention to Jude's message to keep ourselves in God's love."Thomas R. Schreiner, Professor and Associate Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "Lianna has written a remarkable Bible study that is both deep and rich. It is a solid guide to help enlarge one's understanding of the call of God to fidelity to the truth of the gospel. It is beautifully written, with helpful commentary along with a thought-provoking study guide. Helpful quotes are included from theologians that enlarge the understanding of Jude's message. Mercy, peace, and love are core themes, but Lianna also hits the head on Jude's confrontational and convictional content that encourages believers, by God's grace, to contend for the faith. I loved this Bible study. I am deeply thankful for how it led me to worship and delight in the truth of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I highly commend it to you! This message is sorely needed for all believers."Pamela MacRae, Professor and Program Chair for Ministry to Women, Moody Bible Institute "Jude is a short book, but Davis directs our eyes to gems we might have missed and peels back layers we might have ignored. Her careful attention to each phrase invites us to treasure God's Word, her lyrical writing guides us to savor each truth, and her theological insight leads us to marvel at the depth of this book. It is a journey not to be missed."Arthur Kok, Equipping Ministry, Unlocking the Bible, and coauthor, The New Elder's Handbook "A necessary and crucial study for all believers. Lianna guides you through the words of Jude in a way that leads you to a greater depth of knowing the great richness of Christ as she teaches you why and how we must protect and defend our faith, holding fast to truth at all costs. A study I will no doubt go back to and encourage each of my disciples to go through."Lindsey Dennis, author, Buried Dreams: From Devastating Loss to Unimaginable Hope  From the Back Cover Looking to study something new?Consider diving into twenty-five verses toward the back of your New Testament that have likely been overlooked. Maybe it?s because it?s small, or because some of the language is a little strange, but for some reason we don?t pay it much attention and, it?s the church?s loss. This small epistle is ready-made for transformation. All you have to do is show up and study it. In Keeping the Faith, Lianna Davis takes you on a deep dive into the book of Jude where you?ll learn: why Jude uses metaphors like waterless clouds and wild waves
