DO YOU KNOW HIM? JESUS OF NAZARETHJesus asks a question And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ (Mark 8:27-29).Jesus asked a question of His disciples that is directed to all of us today. Jesus said, whom say ye that I am? This is the question that must be answered by us all. Our knowledge of Him is not dependent upon what others are saying about Jesus, but is based upon our own personal relationship with Him. Today, God still desires an answer from us to the question, Do You Know Him? Jesus of Nazareth.Do You Know Him? Jesus of Nazareth is highly recommended to be used as a supplementary teaching tool in Church Bible studies, Ministry Outreach, Home Bible study groups and for individuals seeking a relationship with God.

This book was written about the everyday life of man; this includes you and me. We live in a troublesome world. All of us have to make a decision whether to serve God or Satan. I quote a verse found in the King James Bible: Joshua 24:15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; To serve God will ensure you of a eternal future of bless, to serve the Devil will ensure you of a eternal future in the lake of fire with the Devil, his demon friends, the antichrist, the false prophet, and all those who have rejected Jesus as their Savior.

How do we reconcile joy and sorrow in a world that is both beautiful and desperately broken? Can we put the human back into humanitarianism? Is there a way to let go of disillusionment, hold onto hope, and redeem our pain for good? Author and non-profit director Katie Bergman explores these questions while reflecting on her geographically sprawling pilgrimage to pursue justice without being crushed by it. Driven by her personal experiences from Cambodian villages to Canadian inner-cities, from courthouses to street corners to orphanages, this book of confessions starts a dialogue about the trials and triumphs of seeking justice. The author's personal narrative weaves in a sequence of coming-of-age stories capturing her journey of learning to grieve without despair, to dream without guilt, and to serve without defeat. She will warm and break your heart with profound stories of intervening in human trafficking in Southeast Asia, teaching children with special needs in rural Mexico, spending austere summers planting trees in the rugged wilderness of northern British Columbia, and backpacking through Eastern Europe in self-imposed solitude. When Justice Just Is provides authentic insight, gripping challenges, and a global perspective of the joys and struggles of humanitarian work as the soul to a fresh conversation of learning to be kinder to the world while also being kinder to ourselves.

Thirty Days of Encouragement for the Fender Benders in Your Life is dedicated to the downtrodden, depressed, and those who have given up on life or are too tired to care. Everyone is a work in progress and as Christians, we all need each other, whether we like each other or not. As we reconcile ourselves within the Body of Christ, we become the army that the Lord needs to achieve His most important objective within the earth, (see Habakkuk 2:14). What is a fender bender? It is a minor collision between two automobiles. Each person reading this may be sitting there thinking that what has happened to him or her is no fender bender. Of course, there is enormous tragedy in this world that is much greater than a fender bender. Those can be called major collisions. There is, however, hope and comfort in the word of God for all things. If we view some of the less tragic events with a different perspective, we will see that they are fender benders. Most of the things that have such an emotional effect on us will not matter in a few months. Thirty Days of Encouragement for the Fender Benders in Your Life will help the reader see the magnitude of Gods love and His heart for you, His dear child. Thirty Days of Encouragement for the Fender Benders in Your Life may be used as a springboard of hope and healing for the challenges faced each day.

Discovering Gods Design answers the call for a resource that any woman can use to help her reexamine her view of womanhood according to Scripture. Walker leads us, as women, on a journey to embrace the wonderful truth that being called woman, according to Gods design, is an essential aspect of our identity. Dr. Terri Stovall (PhD), Dean of Womens Programs and Associate Professor of Womens Ministries at Southwestern Baptist Theological SeminaryDiscovering Gods Design is a six-week Bible study for women of all ages. In a world where feminism and political correctness have threatened to undermine Gods design for a woman, her family, and her ministry, Discovering Gods Design provides biblical guidelines on how to live out the unique calling God has placed on each womans life. Beginning in Genesis, you will explore how God crafted Adam and Eve to be His image bearers in the world. God, in His infinite wisdom, created men and women to complement each other. He designed Adam to be the leader, provider, and protector of Eve, and He designed Eve to be Adams helpmate. However, with the introduction of sin in Genesis 3, man and woman have continued to struggle in their relationships with each other and the world. But there is good news. God provided an answer to the constant tension by offering us salvation through Jesus Christ. Jesuss death, burial, and resurrection did not remove the God-given gender distinctions. Instead, it restored them. Women are now free to discover what it means to be an image bearer, how He has gifted each woman for a specific task, and then provided an opportunity, within the boundaries of scripture, to accomplish the task set before them. If you have wondered what it means to be a biblical woman, then look no further. Discovering Gods Design is for you!

With the leading of the Holy Spirit, Tim has studied the Scriptures to find biblical truths and instructions to share with both new believers desiring to turn from worldly pursuits and begin walking with Christ and mature Christians who seek help in recovering from crises in their life. Using a progressive format of steps similar to those introduced in twelve-step recovery programs, Tim shows how Scripture instructs us to see ourselves, the process through which God draws us to Himself, and the spiritual application of the Word of God in developing a solid Christian foundation for moving forward. Drawing from Scripture passages from dozens of books in both the Old and New Testaments, Tim points out Gods desired relationship with humans and how His Word gives us a blueprint for living the life that He desires for us. At the end of each chapter, a series of questions is presented intended to help readers reflect on their own views of scriptural teachings and their attitudes and perceptions of God and living a Christian life.
