He seeks to inspire Christians to learn how they can be involved and blessed and to equip them to act in their communities through their churches. A Better Way begins with the story of how God used a little boy, someone whom this world would not consider of much value, to change this Granddad and lead him to start the PURE movement.A Better Way provides a scriptural foundation on which PURE ministry can be built and presents practical information and suggestions on how we can lovingly relate and reach out to PURE people and their families. Glover shows us A Better Way is truly where least is most and is evidenced in real, enduring transformation of us and His church.

Days? or Ages? offers a fresh look at a centuries-old debate. Does the Bible say creation was accomplished within one week of time beginning a few thousand years ago, or over countless millennia beginning millions or even billions of years in the distant past? Opinions abound from biblical scholars, scientists and laypeople alike, and achieving a clear perspective can be difficult at best.This work summarizes a thorough examination of Genesis 1, including relevant passages from other parts of the Bible, all in plain, straightforward language. Rather than begin with assumptions, as so many opinions do, and from there select and interpret scriptures in such a way as to support a given view; this work instead first provides a detailed examination of what Scripture itself appears to revealall Scripture that bears on the issueand then examines what one might reasonably conclude. Although written by a layman, it draws from a wealth of scholarly works by some of the worlds leading theologians and other learned professionals.Whatever ones opinion might be, this thesis will be informative reading and a significant resource to help clear away some of the clouds of mystery surrounding one of the Bibles most challenging subjects.

One of my most enjoyable and enlightening experiences was going to lunch with Troy Dungan. Not just any lunch, but the weekly Wednesday Bible study lunches where media folks from the Dallas Morning News and Troys WFAA-TV station would gather to hear Troys take on a Bible passage. His knowledge on the Scripture and his perspectives on life were always insightful and enriched my faith. They also strengthened my courage to face the rest of the week. This book is a must-read over and over. Stewart Lytle, journalist and novelist Gathering each week, we could almost smell the fish and spices from Jesuss breakfast fire. We prayed for Idgie the dog and for a child with cancer. Absorbing Troys poignant lessons, we tasted Jesuss own special sauce. These lessons enriched us; they changed our lives. Phil Oakley, journalist and author Troy Dungans studies are refreshingly creative and biblically on target. I love how he thinks about teaching the Scriptures. He makes me smile, laugh, and reflect on the Scriptures in a very personal way. I cannot help but think, I wish I had thought of it that way. I sat there with him on more than one occasion when he led these studies at Channel 8, and I watched God encourage people through his studies. God has gifted Troy with wonderful creativity and insight of getting to the point. Dr. Harold Habecker, longtime senior pastor of Dallas Bible Church, founder of Finishing Well Ministries
