How to Study the Bible discusses the necessity of motivation and                               proper attitude as prerequisites for the discovery of divine truth. Then it delves into a discussion of the nature of biblical authority, using Jesus himself as the model, also looking at the role of biblical silence and expediency. It includes a chapter regarding logic and its role in Bible study, as well as a chapter introducing various tools that are helpful for Bible students. In addition, sections on context and language studies show individual students how to  correctly  understand the Bible. Rather than only providing theory, How to Study the Bible also walks the student through sample studies, highlighting the practical applications of the theory.  Its style is directed toward the average Christian but retains challenges for the advanced student and minister as well. This work is not only about the Bible; it is thoroughly biblical, demonstrating how proper Bible study sometimes makes it necessary for us to abandon previously held convictions as we learn more about God's truth.

How to Study the Bible discusses the necessity of motivation and proper attitude as prerequisites for the discovery of divine truth. Then it delves into a discussion of the nature of biblical authority, using Jesus himself as the model, also looking at the role of biblical silence and expediency. It includes a chapter regarding logic and its role in Bible study, as well as a chapter introducing various tools that are helpful for Bible students. The section on context includes a focus on general, literary, historical, and immediate context, culminating in a chapter showing how to determine Biblical principles and distinguish when something is cultural and when it is not. Rather than only providing theory, How to Study the Bible also walks the student through sample studies, highlighting the practical applications of the theory. An additional section introduces the student to both the benefits and difficulties involved in language studies. Finally, the conclusion demonstrates how it is indeed possible for the individual student to understand the Bible and that correct understanding of the Bible coupled with a godly attitude will produce Christian unity. Its style is directed toward the average Christian but retains challenges for the advanced student and minister as well. This work is not only about the Bible; it is thoroughly biblical, demonstrating how proper Bible study sometimes makes it necessary for us to abandon previously held convictions as we learn more about God´s truth.

This collection of Kevin’s blog posts for the Colorado Bar Association is “for anyone, lawyer or not, who wants to create or at least embrace change in their workplaces and personal lives. And not just change, but transformation.” Written with humor, empathy, insight, and perspective not just from the law, but also psychology, neuroscience, entrepreneurship, and shared life experience. From the Foreword by Ronald M. Sandgrund, Esq.: Drawing on his professional and personal sojourn through that minefield called life, and with inestimable wit and wisdom, Kevin offers advice, humor and insight to Colorado lawyers and anyone else who is willing to take just a few moments out of their day to stop and listen and think. This book amuses, amazes and edifies just as the original blog posts did when I read them in real time over the past few years. I knew then I was hearing a fun and lively voice calling into the dark wilderness that can too often surround and suffocate otherwise creative spirits. Kevin’s book journeys us through Inspiration, Change, Accountability and Personal Apocalypses but, ultimately leads us to Transformation. He speaks with a big heart and from a great breadth of experience. Every lawyer – every one of us – can learn from Kevin’s acute observations about the need to be “entrepreneurial,” not just in our business affairs and professional pursuits, but with our families and our own wellness. From the Foreword by Prof. Debra S. Austin, J.D. Ph.D.: Kevin Rhodes is an audacious man. In this book, he dares us to be audacious right along with him. Kevin asks us to become self-reflective. He challenges us to question the status quo and he urges us to reinvent ourselves. He explains how we can get stuck and he offers a path forward. In short, Kevin empowers growth. Kevin reminds us that the pursuit of growth and change is an imprecise, and often scary endeavor. But each of his short essays prods and coaches on the benefits of taking brave steps to effect growth and change. From Susan Hoyt, Legal Editor/Social Media Colorado Bar Association CLE: Every Thursday, the Colorado Bar Association CLE Legal Connection blog features one of Kevin Rhodes’ inspirational posts. And every Wednesday, I get a little jump of excitement when Kevin emails his post to me for the next day – I get a sneak peek. I look forward to reading Kevin’s posts. They are a welcome reprieve from the usual case law or rule change articles. I feel connected to Kevin because of these little glimpses into his personality – the warm, accepting, mentally healthy individual that comes through in his articles. Besides being fun to read, Kevin’s posts serve an important role in this era where lawyer depression has reached nearly epidemic proportions. Kevin imparts a bit of humanity – a bit of total wellbeing – into his writing. From the Preface, “Lawyers are People, Too,” by Kevin Rhodes: True, the blog serves up topics in packages of particular interest to lawyers, but once the package is opened, the posts go looking for anyone, lawyer or not, who wants to create or at least embrace change in their lives and workplaces. And not just change, but transformation -- the biggest, boldest kind of change. The shared human experiences of noticing, wanting, aspiring, committing, suffering, accomplishing (or not), celebrating (or not)… those are the experiences I’m after. I’m also after experiences that are none of those things, when disasters crash into our lives and we have no choice but to deal. I want to know how we grow and change and transform our way through all those kinds of experiences. And I want to know how getting through them affects our professional and personal lives every day.

Stoicism: The Practical Guide to the Stoic Philosophy and Art of Happiness in Modern Life to Help You Develop your Self-Discipline, Critical Thinking and Mental Toughness and Live a Better Life

If you want to learn the Ancient Stoic secrets of a life well lived and how to practically implement them in your own life then keep reading...\nDo you want to learn the ancient secrets of Stoic joy and good life? Do you want to learn how to implement the philosophy in the modern world? Do you want actual Stoic strategies and practices that can drastically improve your own life? 
As humans one of our greatest fears is getting to the end of our lives and discover that we have wasted so much of it, instead we should feel we have done all we can to live the best life possible. In the modern world many of us may seem 'busy' but is what we are 'busy' with actually helping us live our best lives. 
Unfortunately, traditional schooling doesn't address the crucial questions such as how to live an amazing life, how to be truly happy, how to deal with crippling negative emotions and how to find joy in daily life just to name a few. Luckily, that's what the Ancient schools of philosophy were all about- especially Stoicism. 
Ancient Stoics would spend their lives philosophizing over how to live the best life, and their life changing advice is more applicable than ever in the crazy modern world we live in. 
In fact, as I found out, we are probably more in need than ever of a life guiding philosophy that helps us deal with the many various challenges that life continually throws at us. 
I was lucky enough to find Stoicism in a time in my life when everything seemed to be going wrong, thankfully it taught me not only how to deal with life's chaos but how to prepare ourselves for it, and to live a life that sets us up for unlimited amounts of joy and happiness, as well as being able to look back on satisfaction after a life well lived. 
And now, I want to show you how you can use the ancient wisdom of Stoicism in the modern life, but in a practical manner that will show you how Stoicism can be used to live an incredible life! 
What I realized after practicing Stoicism is the key is actually learning how to apply the philosophy into our own lives and that is why I have created this practical guide to the philosophy, and I hope Stoicism can be as amazing for you as it has been for me. 
Here is just a slither of what you will discover inside... 
-The secret to dealing with ALL of your negative emotions 
-The 5 keys to a life well lived 
-How to implement the Stoic greats advice in your own life today! 
-How more people than ever are using Stoicism to revolutionize their lives 
-Why depression rates are higher than ever in the modern world
