The teachings in The Covering and The Light were instilled to Teena Hall by God in a quiet season where He taught her how to be still, really still, in order to hear directly from Him. The Lord speaks to each and every one of us; however, we must spend time alone with Him to hear what He is imparting to us. This book shows us how to take time out and really hear from the Lord: Are you tired of being in darkness? Are you ready to walk in the light of the Lord? But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, Gods special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9)In this book, you will find lovely parallels to the animal kingdom that God uses to help us make sense of our lives. But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you. (Job 12:7)You will find in this book that the devotions will begin as gentle as a delicate, trickling stream and grow into a turbulent, monumental canyon. God shares His wisdom and His instructions for our daily lives; He also provides insight, as well as encouragement! Most of all, the Father of Lights shows us that He is our Fortress and Protector because He loves us more than words could ever say. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:3)The Covering and The Light could be compared to Letters from God by Ivan Tait.

I have seen people who have made a bad decision that has taken control of their lives. They try to undo it, or fight through many years to get back to a somewhat normal life. There is an over abundance of people who never make it, even through much rehab and much professional counseling. There is still something missing to the equation. Oh yes, there are many who are able to climb out of that deep dark hole, but there are way too many who dont. It winds up killing them, quickly or slowly, but never the less they never make it out. We can all learn from men who have suffered greatly, like Job and Doug. Their sufferings, by our definition were truly unfair. It seems the one that they trusted and loved let them down. I have suffered as well, no where near to their extent, non the less enough to have taken my life. My depression was enough to take me down the path of suicidal thought, suicidal planning, and suicidal attempt. If you are hurting or want to have the kind of life you were created for, this book is for you.

Bradley Newman, a kind-hearted coworker; Charlotte, a benevolent shop owner; Lisa, a parent struggling with her childs health issues; and Anns sister, Sara, all play vital roles in introducing Ann to a side of life shes never experienced before.Pleasantly unexpected is how I would describe my journey through The Grandma Syndrome.

Tina V.A captivating story of redemption and the healing power of love. Definitely a book worth reading. Carolyn W.

The neoliberal theologians, who intend to repaint Christianity, say they are reacting to the errors and abuses within the church, against the false promises of the Prosperity theology and the modern Pharisees, who use legalism as a means of oppression and control. The truth, however, is that they incur in the same mistakes of them. Those of the Prosperity Gospel or those of the postmodern church philosophy lead the ministry according to peoples desire, not according to Gods interests or the true spiritual need of people. The Prosperity theology adapted to a greedy society that sees Jesus only as the multiplier of loaves and fishes and a free healer; therefore, it gave them what they wanted. The postmodern Christians changed the speech and emphasis, but reproduced the same pattern of ministry. When we compare them, both groups are alike they all use pragmatism as foundation for ministry, thus, their teachings are unbiblical, their practice unethical and its results, devastating to the Christian faith.The new painters take advantage of the mistakes of some groups of the evangelicalism, with this, they find the opportunity to throw out the baby with the dirty bathwater they throw away the true Gospel along with the errors of the church. Such opportunism is clearly detected in their effort to establish a stereotype to represent historic Christianity as a group of ignorant and devoid-of-love Fundamentalist fanatics, while they pose as open-minded good-boy- preachers, and love givers with no trace of prejudice.By opposing legalism, these men went to the other extreme they became libertines. Thus, their offered antidote became worse than the poison itself. The neoliberal theologians came not to bring healing to the churchs problems, rather, they aggravated it. They are opportunists who are creating a neo-Christianity under the perspectives of this new postmodern world.

What If God? is designed to enable the reader who may see the Word of God as daunting or hard to understand. What if God? is short and simple enough for the new believer to understand and be encouraged to dig deeper. Also, it is deep enough to be a benefit and growth tool for the maturing believer. The book consists of twelve chapters with fifty-two subjects addressed that relate to the majesty of God, the Christian life and how this majestic being interacts and relates with his possessions. What if God? is ideal for a small group Bible study and provides one year of weekly devotions. It can be used in whole or in part as each chapter is adequate for study; however, the book is designed for one chapter to build on the other for a step-by-step journey into the wonders of Gods Word.

With Gods Grace ... takes you into the lives of five women seeking the meaning of grace. Do you know what grace feels like? Is it real? How do you get it? Do you have to earn it?

They bring you along in their soul-searching experiences to discover grace is real and how much God loves you. His gift is not one-size-fits-all but is specifically designed for the person receiving it. Through their trials, God reaches out with different paths of grace. In their cries for help, they dont always get what they ask for. But with overwhelming challenges God showers overwhelming grace. Along the way they offer reflections to explore grace in your own life. Once you start understanding how to look and ask for it, you will be astounded by Gods gift.

My wife and I have a plan to one Christmas ride a Midnight Express to Salt Lake City. We are Christians, not Mormons, but we will spend a few days where thousands meet in His name and hear His music. We will attend Christmas by the Tabernacle Choir. Life is like a train station where two tracks run in opposite directions. One train runs uphill to where Christ dwells. Another train runs downhill to where he is ignored. Folks who board the downhill train are fully aware of the uphill train, but insist that theirs is the proper train. As the land they travel into turns dark and chaotic, they imagine that error is truth, that bitter is sweet, and that despair is the norm. As the uphill train travels its passengers see a new land where clear waters run deep, where the sun is bright and warm, where people come and go as they please, and where there is singing and joy. God and Freedom, What matters in Life, by Jon Christie is a powerful book about life and how to live it. It is a profound analysis of many facets of life and a guide to truth. I will use it as a reference. The discussion of science to demonstrate the need of a Creator interpretation was accurate and clear, and helpful to the layman. I recommend that everyone read this book. Keith Walker, author, T-Man of Steel, and Just Forgiven

In Under the Streetlights, a former atheist shares his journey of asking tough questions, pondering the purpose of life, and ultimately stumbling toward faith in God. Having been raised in an atheist home, science functioned as more than a discipline for Matt Deisen; it was his religion. He had faith in the scientific method, but faith in God was a foreign thing, a strange thing, even a dangerous thing. He was raised, like so many in his generation, to view religion with tolerant skepticism and respectful disbelief. But Matt had questions. How could you possibly know if God truly exists? How can you follow someone you cant see? And why do you need to go sit in a building or join a religious club in order to find Him? In his early years, Matt wanted Christians to fail in their faith, to wake up from their delusions, and come back to reality. And then something happened. Under the Streetlights follows Matt on his journey of questioning what we have taken for granted, thirsting for something deeper, and ultimately finding what each of us in our own way is longing to find... an unshakable belief in something greater than ourselves.

This book merges and harmonizes the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John into one. This unified version, which I call The Gospel, is based on the faith that the four different gospels exist in order to form together the complete story of Jesus life and ministry. I consolidated these sources by identifying common denominators among them as well as parts that are unique to each, and then interweaving it all into a single narrative, using only original texts. This integrated version may offer greater incentive to our youth, laymen, and non-believers as well as professionals to read and learn more about what Jesus did and taught. (Acts 1:1). In the past, there have been many attempts to make the four Gospels easier for readers, often displaying similar episodes in parallel columns, in an effort to resolve the Gospels narrative complexity by harmonizing them in one way or another; however, in regard to the text itself, previous books do not rise to the level of precision and completeness that is achieved here. Answering this need for a clear chronological telling of The Story of Jesus, this book unifies every account of the four Gospels into a single story, without omitting or compromising any part. On a given topic in Jesus ministry, this book uses as its base whichever gospel is the greatest common denominator, consolidates identical or similar parts from other Gospels, and integrates the unique and different elements of each book into a single story.

Have you ever struggled with your faith in God? Do you feel like you are sinking into waves of discouragement over your situation? If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, nothing is impossible for you. We are called to live by faith not sight. Yet trials come and it feels like He has abandoned you when He delays in answering prayer. Fear and doubt may try to overcome you, but faith must be tried to be true. God is bigger than anything you come up against but you must stand on His promises in His Word. You cannot fail if only you dare to believe, put your hope in God, and keep your eyes ever focused on Jesus alone. If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word. C.H. Spurgeon

Jesus the Jew, Christ the King unites biblical scholarship with established theology. Oftentimes, scholars distinguish between the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith, suggesting that Christian belief has elevated Jesus of Nazareth from the common life of an itinerant Jewish rabbi to a divine figure akin to the heroes of Greco-Roman culture. James Mikolajczyk evaluates both the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith separately before uniting the concepts for academics and believers alike. The definition of Israel connects to this harmony, although many theologians apply it exclusively to the church or to the Jewish people. In keeping with Christian tradition, Mikolajczyk affirms Jesus as the only begotten Son of God and, moreover, the fulfillment of scriptural Israel.

Buried in the darkness of his small third story sitting room, driven to the edge of despair, Bisbee is faced with a life altering decision. Faced by the nightly terror of mysterious Beasts, he knows his only hope is Charis. The letters that lay scattered on the floor next to him tell of a Well in Charis that holds the secret of life. But the Well also involves a death that terrifies Bisbee almost as much as the Beasts that are tormenting him. This book is the story of that journey. It is about the dangers that Bisbee faces and the lessons he learns about himself and his Master. Most of all, it is about what he discovers at the Well of Chayah.

Have you ever sat in the stands or sidelines and listened to parents yell at their kids and thought, "e;There is something wrong here?"e; Does your child show passion and potential in a sport but feels an unhealthy amount of pressure that is leading them to want to quit the sport they used to love so much? The reality is, the approach society is taking to competitive youth sports as a whole is unhealthy, but it doesn't have to be that way. I am not an advocate for everybody wins; I love competition. I believe that with the correct perspective and approach youth athletics can be used to mold our children into Christ-like, confident, and joyful adults. By focusing on the journey rather than the destination players and parents can learn to find value in all of the life lessons that come through competition. This book is a guide that is inspired through twenty-four years of coaching and watching parents who got it right and the others who missed out on the opportunity to use youth athletics to instill Christ-like characteristics and perspectives in their children. The true prize in athletics isn't a trophy or even a scholarship, it is in the life lessons that everyone has available to learn if they are willing to look for them.
