Book Synopsis:
This book provides a concise look into the essential and extensive work of Christ as Mediator and how that unfolds within the Trinity. It addresses the questions of why we need a mediator, how Christ mediates, and the blessings of having a mediator. Robert Walderman expounds upon an abundance of Scriptures dealing with the mediation of Christ. He also takes to heart the words of Charles Spurgeon, who said, "He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own," and supports his ideas with a compilation of insightful quotes from a host of outstanding theologians and scholars. Theologians from the past, such as John Calvin, William Perkins, John Owen, and Charles Spurgeon, as well as more contemporary authors, such as R. C. Sproul and John Piper. In addition, the author weaves throughout the book his own thought-provoking insights, personal experiences, and helpful illustrations to create a readable introduction to the topic, which can also be used as an everyday devotional or study.

So what’s Bunco?
Bunco is a dice game with twelve or more players, divided into groups of four, trying to score points while taking turns rolling three dice in a series of six rounds. A bunco is achieved when a person rolls three-of-a-kind and all three numbers match the round number which is decided at the beginning of the round. Video of how Bunco is played — view below
No experience necessary!
