For more than three decades a group of people from the First Christian Reformed Church of Seattle has come together to pray, eat, and the study the Bible. They made their own lessons. The discussion would go deep but then be relieved by a humorous twist that restored perspective. This book is a collection of questions and comments made  in the study of the book of Matthew. The questions were most useful if studied before the meeting but-we must confess-we often saw the questions for the first time during the meeting. The questions and comments were compiled by Johanna van Belle. We had to think of a name for the group and came up with SAMOBISTUS (Saturday Morning Bible Students); the name coined at the time that the Sandinistas were active in Central America. Johanna van Belle was born and raised in the Netherlands. She immigrated to Canada in 1958 with her family. She completed two years of medical school at the University of Groningen, completing her medical education at the University of Toronto where she earned her M.D. degree. She practiced college medicine for more that 35 years  at Florida State University, Tallahassee and at the University of Washington, Seattle. She currently volunteers at the Puget Sound Christian Clinic in Seattle which serves without charge people who have no medical insurance. She and her husband make their home in Seattle, WA where they have raised five children. She immensely and gratefully enjoys the gift of twelve grown, and growing grandchildren. This is her second book with Xulon Press. Her first book, Coram Deo: Before the Face of God appeared in 2009. This book describes the history of her parents as they moved from the Netherlands to Canada. It documents the struggle to remain orthodox in a rapidly changing religious climate. It also gives a glimpse of the many issues faced by an immigrant family when leaving family and homeland behind, entering a new community, interacting with a different culture, and learning a second language. The book celebrates God''s providence, his mercy, and grace for those who love Him.All royalties from the book go to Shoreline Christian School in Shoreline, WA (www.shorelinechristian.org).

Have you ever wondered why there is no progress, no peace and no joy in your life and maybe in your family? Why wherever the soles of your feet touch, you possessed curses instead of blessings; and why is it that anything you touched brought a curse instead of blessings? Think about it. BORN INTO IDOLATRY BONDAGE is one of the major destroyers of the foundation of the lives of many people. It leads to spiritual imprisonment, torments and slavery by birth through generational inheritance. It is a curse that stands as a spiritual epidemic. When we talk of bondage we are talking about a spirit that bounds someone and subjects that person to some external forces, power and control. It can spiritually restrain you, tie you up, chain, or put you in handcuffs by unknown evil forces. We see in the Bible that spiritual bondage does not mean you are being held physically captive. It is more than that. It is any area of your life where you come into agreement with the enemy's lie that is in direct opposition to God's Word. In so doing, you give the demon legal access and an open invitation to come in to control, torment and finally kill you. DR. CYRIL NWOZOR is a Church planter.

Grace, joy and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be unto you.
