WelcometoTheCourageous AdventuresofShelbeetheShortBus,a heart-warmingchildren’sbookseries thatrevealshowShelbeetheShortBus andhisfivenewriderslearntoturn disabilitiesintopossibilities.
In Where the Rubber Meets the Road, book 1 in the Shelbee the Short Bus series, we meet Shelbee the Short Bus who is taking on a new job of transporting five children— Amber, Zoe, Ian, Sean, and Toby—to their special education classes at Evergreen Elementary School. Each child has a unique set of challenges, and together with Shelbee, they begin a journey of embracing new possibilities in life.
Meanwhile, Shelbee is the only “short bus” (small bus) among all the other regular buses carrying kids to school. Bossee, the leader of the buses, is skeptical of Shelbee— having never worked with a short bus before.
Rustee, a wise, older bus, has been around the block a time or two and sees some possibilities for Shelbee, while buses Smokee and Blinkee are not sure what to make of Shelbee the “newbee.”
Will Shelbee the Short Bus weather the skepticism of Bossee and the other buses and earn their respect? Will Amber, Zoe, Ian, Sean, and Toby pull together to help Shelbee and learn a lesson or two of their own? Join us on The Courageous Adventures of Shelbee the Short Bus and discover the possibilities yourself.

Milo “Mi” and Mary Clark were inspired to create The Courageous Adventures of Shelbee the Short Bus by amazing children and adults who simply refuse to be defined or limited by disabilities. Time and again, they’ve seen courageous people look beyond disabilities to the inspiring possibilities life holds for each of us and our friends and neighbors. Mi and Mary dated in high school, and after a thirtyseven-year hiatus, they were reunited and married. Their collective experience in health care, writing, and life set the foundation for this inspirational series. They make their home in St. Augustine, FL.

Having drawn since the age of four, author-artist Linda M. Brandt landed her first professional job illustrating political cartoons at the age of nineteen. Her work has been displayed in prestigious venues from Paris to London and New York to Laguna Beach. Many of her paintings are held in private collections around the world including the home of late President Ronald Reagan and past Ohio governor, George Voinovich. Linda is the only known adult survivor of a particular rare and serious brain tumor. Following surgery to remove the tumor, she contracted spinal meningitis and spent two months in hospital critical care. It was during this time, while inside an MRI chamber, that Linda had a neardeath experience of which she writes in her recently released autobiography, My Jonah Journey: Developing an Attitude of Gratitude. With God’s help and with the the prayers and love of her family and friends, Linda spent the next three years learning to walk again, to drive again, and at last, to paint again. Collectors of her paintings believe her work is even more inspirational and dramatic than before as she emphasizes triumph over tragedy through her art. Linda’s speaking engagements relate her experiences of being grateful and how gratitude can affect a person’s wellbeing, both now and in the hereafter.

Celebrate Your Differences is a creatively written book to help open up the dialogue with children about the differences in people. This story is not only a great life lesson, but it’s fun to read. The illustrations are cute and capture the essence of the story. People often think of ethnicity as the main “difference” in people, but Jennifer brings up other differences, such as hair color and style, and a person’s size. The main message of the story is to love and accept people for who they are, not what they look like. This is all based on the fact that God made each one of us differently, and we are all beautiful in our uniqueness. “I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14, NASB). This is a great little book for any household, classroom, or Bible study class.
Celebrate Your Differences is Jennifer Lawson’s second children’s book. Her first book, Love Day, inspires people to show the love of God daily. Jennifer loves living in southern New Jersey, along with her husband and four children (two daughters and two dogs). She loves the Jersey Shore and the best church on the planet—Victory In Christ Christian Center.

James’ Book of Life follows James from boyhood to manhood. With each experience, he develops positive morals and values that stay with him for a lifetime. As the story is read aloud, parents will be reminded of the important role they play in their child’s spiritual development.
Jesus’ presence in every illustration helps children to understand that Jesus is with us in every season of life. The Lamb’s Book of Life at the back of the book provides an opportunity to discuss its importance.
Together, parent and child will develop a closer bond, strengthen their family, and help each other grow spiritually in God’s love.
Although his interests are diverse, broadening his knowledge and caring for kids has always been important to author James E. “Jamie” Lester, Jr. This father, real estate broker, and appraiser holds a master’s degree from Liberty University, a bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida, and is pursuing a doctorate from University of the Rockies. He is a former youth leader and has worked with children through the Florida Department of Children and Family Services and as a Family Court Mediator.

The Christmas Dream is the story of a little boy who loves Christmas. He loves the festivities. He loves the decorations. He loves the wonder of Christmas. He loves everything about it. One night, he falls asleep and is transported into a realm where he meets God, and God teaches him about the true meaning of Christmas.
Told as an adventure, Dennis Jernigan designed The Christmas Dream as a means of teaching his own son about the meaning of Christmas. This story can serve as a valuable tool in leading your child or grandchild to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. It also serves to remind the adult reader to not stray too far from the wonder of Christmas . . . and to have a childlike faith.
“The Christmas Dream beautifully presents the Father’s promise—to be held by the One Whose love will never leave—through the eyes of a child, framing the gift of Sonship to a world overflowing with orphans. As a homeschool mom, I strongly recommend this story to all!”

The Case of the Bungling Boat & The Case of the Stolen Sister
The Case of the Hollow Hill & The Case of the Tumbling Triplet
from the perspectives of the wentworth teenager triplets!
Volume 1: A Gift from the Past & The Big Wind -with two bonus shorts
Thirteen-year-old Caitlyn knew that many feet had walked over the beautiful high meadow and into the deep rugged canyon she loved so much near her family’s guest ranch in the Oklahoma panhandle.
In addition to the hooves, padded paws, claws, and talons that still roamed this untamed land, there were the footsteps of boots and shoes and moccasins of centuries past that had left their mark and stories to be told. What Caitlyn didn’t know was just how personal all those stories would become as she and her home-schooled friends left their own footsteps in the canyon.
This exceptionally researched historical fiction series for tweens and teens combines stories from the present day with those of the settlers pushing West in the late 1800s, and the lives of the Kiowa Indians a century earlier. This fourvolume historically accurate, suspenseful, and faith-friendly anthology series is storytelling at its best. If you love mystery and adventure and marvel at the beauty of creation—this four volume anthology series is for you.

This wonderfully written historical fiction series captures the unforgettable struggles, dreams, failures, and triumphs of settler life in the Ozark mountains at the dawn of the 20th century. Life there was rugged and almost always unforgiving. The people and families who called these mountains and Rivers Bend home were of hardy stock. They experienced great hardships and suffering, but they were gritty, tough, and stubborn (and faithful) too—and they persevered against even the bleakest of odds. Their inspiring lives and stories remind us that suffering builds perseverance, and perseverance builds character, and character builds hope—and hope, blessed hope, never disappoints.
This seven-volume anthology series, with two authentically crafted novellas in each volume, was written by one whose parents lived in the Ozarks during this era. This series will grab your soul as it harkens back to an era of sacrifice and faith.

At high noon on April 22, 1889, fiftythousand settlers camped on all sides of the Oklahoma territory began a fever-pitched race to claim their 160 acres of land and a new life. Most started at the sound of a cannon or gunshot on horseback, wagon, or foot at the appointed time around the territory. Land was claimed and sizable towns sprung in in a single day. More followed. But trouble was afoot too as the hopes, dreams, and even survival of the competing settlers collided with each other and the harsh realities of life in wild “unassigned” lands. The opportunity was great, but not everyone played by the rules, and the free land sometimes came at a very high price.
This wonderfully researched, fourvolume historical fiction series, Taming the Wilderness, captures the unforgettable struggles, dreams, failures, and triumphs of the settlers of the great Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. Each volume presents two complete novellas with well-crafted characters and life-stories not soon forgotten.

“Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.” —Isaiah 51:1
When a privileged, well-educated teenage girl from New York and her seven-yearold little brother were made orphans by an unforgiving Christmas Eve house fire, they found themselves shipped off to an aunt in the teacher-poor parcel of the Oklahoma territory where families were scratching for survival.
Amidst the upheaval, the young girl realized that she was the only hope her little brother had for an education. Soon, neighbors begged for the privilege of letting their children just listen as she taught her little brother. As attendance grew, classes were moved to a virtual cave, made by an overhanging ledge. A room was constructed beneath that ledge with a rough flagstone floor and a strong, field-stone outer wall.
How wonderfully strange that those who entered this shelter of stones would emerge with a gift that would stand the test of time, the Great War, and generations to come.

Everyone thought thirteen would do no good...
The Trilogy of Wishbone Hollow is an inspiring story of an unlikely heroine from a small rural community in Arkansas. The American Red Cross was preparing for war in 1916 and 1917 when America and England were trying to make it go away, and Germany was forging ahead.
In the midst of this uncertainty, a young and determined Arkansas girl, smitten with the desire to be a certified nurse— and bolstered by a praying grandpa, unusual (and unconventional) bravery, and almost certainly an overworked angelic guardian—begins a journey that shapes the future for her, the folk of Wishbone Hollow, and many souls across the Atlantic.
Turns out thirteen did good for everyone.

It was certain to have been something that Kevin had done that had accidentally transported him into history!
Not only that, he found he could repeat the experience at will, even taking a friend from that era with him as he went even further into the past.
Was it a dream? It had to be, yet, if it was, how could he explain the way he felt? How did he know so many things now that he had never known before meeting his new friends?
The thing was…where had those friends come from, and where had they gone?

David, Son of Jesse, was one of the most amazing men in the Bible. He killed lions and bears. He stayed out in the wilderness all by himself looking after his father’s sheep. He was the youngest of seven brothers who didn’t like him very much. To most folks he was just another country kid who would grow up doing just what his family had done for generations before him. But not this David! He grew to become an amazing man who had the ability to destroy giants and put enemies of God on the run. With his gentle hand on his harp, he could quiet the troubled mind of the king. Some men loved him, others hated him, but God said David was a man after His own heart. He became the most loved king of all of Israel. How could an ordinary man like David be someone the Almighty God of the heavens would love so much? I believe it all began with the wonderful love and guidance given by Jesse, David’s dad. Jesse loved God and implanted that love into the heart of his youngest son. This story of David weaves a tale that is filled with the adventures of a young man and his father as they share the joys, sorrows, and adventures of life and David becomes rooted in the heart of God.

While it is true that Missy has bright red hair and freckles, she is most definitely not a speckled, red-haired trout! Join Missy and her two faithful friends, Peter and Anna—the brown-eyed Bentley twins—as they encourage Missy through an awful, dreadful day. You will be surprised at what God can do.
“I recently read Missy’s Freckle Fiasco and was impressed with the author’s ability to capture the feelings of a young girl dealing with a father on deployment and having unique physical characteristics, such as being red haired and freckled. Support for Missy is o ered in a positive and pleasing way. We nd that Missy has the tools to solve her issues with her at all times—her parents and God. I would recommend this book to children and parents who are dealing with a variety of growing pains.”

My Hero Doesn’t Wear a Cape captures the pride and admiration a young boy and girl feel for their hero — their dad, the soldier. This book realistically depicts, through the eyes of a young boy and girl, what it is like to have their parent serving in the military. They witness strangers who come up and shake their dad’s hand, they view their dad marching in parades, they watch with the world as their father leaves for faraway places to help others in need, and they witnesses the strength of their mother. When their dad is home, the young boy and girl describe the softer, gentler, human side of their real-life hero that only their family knows.
My Hero Doesn’t Wear a Cape truly touches on the unique experiences military families share. It is honest in its portrayal of how the families of military men and women also serve their country.
Author royalties will be donated to charitable organizations that support US military veterans and their families.

God Did Make Little Green Apples is a delightful story with charming characters who teach a simple message about how unkind words and bullying can deeply hurt others. Readers will learn that judging others by their outward appearance is wrong; rather, we should look inward to the heart and always ask ourselves, “What would ‘King Golden’ do?” God Did Make Little Green Apples is a wonderfully illustrated and engaging children’s story that teaches the Golden Rule through a bunch of apples—literally. Children and adults alike will be captivated by the unfolding drama where one bad apple threatens to spoil the whole bunch until King Golden comes to the rescue. Cecelia Assunto has crafted a true-to-life masterpiece of children’s suspense, humor, and plain-old fun. The moral of the story highlights the Golden Rule, while more subtly introducing several biblical principles including—you guessed it—the fruit of the Spirit. God Did Make Little Green Apples is not only a great story and fun read with a satisfying ending, but a wonderful tool to help children grow in character and understanding of godly principles.

Many miles from home in a foreign country, I stood overlooking the endless horizon. It was then I felt paralyzed by the fear of my ego being crushed. I realized how small I was and how I had dared to elevate myself before God. However, comfort overcame me as I remembered God’s grace and love demonstrated through His sacrifice.
Many of us may have had this revelation of God’s power in our lives, and many may have yet to experience it. He may reveal Himself to us through heartbreak and despair or through miracles and jubilancy. Either way, the outcome should be the same: reverence for the Creator. This realization of your standing with God can and should be frightening. How could we ever measure up to a God who is so infinitely awesome? Unfortunately, many people don’t view God in this way. Instead, some believe the lie that God is small—and this belief has been a detriment to humanity. Having a “Tiny God” is like a silent disease; if left undiscovered, it will metastasize.
Tiny God Syndrome aims to bring relevancy to the condition so that we may confront it with a cure. Luckily for us, the cure is well-known and straightforward. It requires no follow-up appointment and is completely insured. All you have to do is trust the Provider.
“Hemustincrease,butImustdecrease.”
—John3:30

Nobody expects it.
Getting the news that your child has cancer is never anticipated. In a sudden twist of reality, the world is upside down and you are shaken at the deepest level. Only a select few truly understand this horrifying alternate universe you’ve entered, and you are left confused and alone. But instead of being allowed to fall to pieces, you do what you must (what moms always do): you “mom-up” and take care of your child.
The pages of this little book detail the raw emotions and experiences of a mother who has been through the often-agonizing roller coaster of her daughter’s treatment. Spoiler alert: it’s not all bad. You will find practical advice and medical information scattered throughout to make this a read of the head as well as of the heart. Nobody starts this journey knowing everything, but maybe these chapters can give you a leg up. And remember, you are not alone.
“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” —Romans 5:3-4
“Since everyone is impacted by cancer in some way, this book should be read by and shared with everyone. . . . It reminded me how to minister to and pray for those who are part of this horrible disease. Most importantly, it renewed my understanding of how to endure hardship with God’s help.”
—Terry
Lancaster, Wife of Bob (Multiple Myeloma), Founder of the Cotinga Foundation, Special Ed Teacher
“This honest, transparent, deeply-revealing story of a mother walking through the depths with her child has blessed us beautifully. . . . Abigail’s depth of trust in God strengthens my faith, and I believe it will yours.”

Written by R. David Skinner
Edited by Michael R. Spradlin
R.David Skinner presents a captivating, verseby-verse commentary on Genesis 1-11 using a literal interpretation of Scripture with analyses of evolutionary thought. Genesis contains the record of God’s creation and the beginning of civilization on earth. If one misses the foundational truths found in Genesis, other important biblical truths become more difficult to understand. In all ways, Genesis is foundational. Not surprisingly, Genesis and the Creation account have become the preeminent battleground for skeptics. Skinner’s commentary is an essential resource for students, pastors, Bible teachers, and all believers who want to share boldly and defend their faith.
Studies in Genesis 1-11 addresses these foundational issues (and more):
How old is the earth?
How long were the Creation days?
How could the entire earth be covered by water?
What about prehistoric ages, including Neanderthals/cave men?
Can one believe in evolution and in the literal Genesis account of Creation?
Where does the theory of evolution fit into the origin of the universe and of man?

A Commentary by Carroll Roberson
ACTS ...AND THEY CONTINUED is volume five of Carroll Roberson’s five-book commentary series, which includes:
· Matthew: The Hebrew Gospel
· Mark: The Messiah’s Gospel
· Luke: The Lord’s Gospel
· John: The Jewish Gospel
· Acts ...And They Continued
Carroll was inspired to write the commentary on the book of Acts after the privilege of being one of the few people to visit an underground cave in Jerusalem where some of the early persecuted Jewish Christians worshipped. He was also inspired by his visit to Rome where the Apostle Paul was imprisoned before his martyrdom.
The works of the Lord Jesus Christ continued in the book of Acts through the blessed Holy Spirit in the lives of His disciples. In this easy-to-read format, you will be able to connect the sacred scriptures together and discover their original context in the biblical history of the first century.

The Steward Investor: Investing God’s Resources for Eternal Impact is not just another stewardship book about competent money management or generosity. Instead, using scripture and real-world examples, Don Simmons helps us discover our duty as God’s money managers and provokes us to invest differently. Challenging modern temporal financial planning constructs, like maximizing financial returns and minimizing risk for ourselves, The Steward Investor shows how we can optimize positive, enduring outcomes for all stakeholders, including employees, communities, and the planet, while advancing the kingdom of God. Simmons directs readers to adopt a holistic view of investing that aligns with Great Commission and Great Commandment outcomes. You will be challenged and inspired to reevaluate your portfolio and to start your own journey toward investing for eternal impact as God’s steward investor.

Faith always has an object.
What you and I believe in is what we rely on to give us what we need and want. There are two important questions to consider:
(1)Is what or whom we believe in capable of giving us what we need and want?
(2)Is what we think we need and want the same as what we truly need?
This book defines faith, answers questions about faith, shows how and why faith works, helps us identify weaknesses and strengths of our faith, challenges us to consider God as the ultimate source of faith, and gives insights on how faith enables us to overcome problems we face. Examples include how faith helps one overcome addictions and how faith helps one establish a positive self-identity. The goal of this book is to help readers grow in understanding and practicing genuine faith, thus becoming the person God created us to be.
“Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.” (1 John 5:4 ISV)

Sometimes human nature disappoints us, and we are left longing for a love that we just can’t hold on to. We are constantly let down, or our expectations are crushed by hurt which makes it hard for us to trust love.
We are living in a world where love, as a gift from God, is misunderstood, has grown cold, and is needed more than ever. The good news is, we are actually loved more than we realize, and the source of that love is Love himself—God. The love we want and need is available to anyone who reaches out and receives it.
Perfect Love: The Eternal Gift helps define love and includes chapters such as: God’s Love and the Cross of Jesus, Love and Forgiveness, Love and Our Use of Money, and Love and War. The book explains how love can overcome problems in all areas of life and how it is the only power that can heal our families and world.
“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9, NIV).

People wonder during their lifetime, Am I making a difference? Or, as their life comes to an end, they wonder, Did my life count for something?
Faith, hope, and love, through a relationship with God and his Son, Christ Jesus, are the abiding attributes that enable us to find satisfying meaning and purpose in life. From beginning to end, the Bible is God’s true story of good versus evil and presents God’s plan to defeat evil and restore forevermore his created world to goodness. The successful implementation of God’s plan is done through God’s Son, Christ Jesus, his promised Messiah.
God calls people to help him accomplish his plan, and the key to their success is in three words: faith, hope, and love. Faith is their trust in God no matter if life is good or seems to be falling apart. Hope is their hanging onto the sure and expected promises of God which enables them to faithfully keep going until God accomplishes his plan. Love is the God-given motivating power within them, enabling them to live out God’s lifestyle of selfless love by doing their part to overcome evil with godly acts of goodness.
This series of books defines what it means for believers to have faith, hope, and love as they live out their lives and assist in fulfilling their part in God’s plan.
Historians grapple with it. Atheists deny it. Archaeologists are divided over it. Christians defend it.
e Exodus is one of the most controversial events in ancient history. But did it really happen? And if so, what lessons should we take from it?
e escape from Egypt has had tremendous in uence on civilization. For thousands of years, cultures the world over have looked on it as inspiration in their own quests for freedom. But if such an event occurred, there would be some evidence for it in Egyptian history, right? In Bringing the Exodus to Life, join author Philip Cottraux on a rsthand journey through one of mankind’s oldest stories. Breaking the book of Exodus down verseby-verse, chapter-by-chapter, you’ll learn the truth about when in history this amazing event took place and see the evidence rsthand. You’ll see how it connects with other events in the Bible for the big picture of God’s ultimate plans for mankind.
From the controversy surrounding Moses’ birth, to his encounter with God at the burning bush, to the terror that lled the Egyptian skies during the tenth plague, to the Ten Commandments being given on Mount Sinai, this comprehensive study of the second book in the Bible will change the way you look at the Word of God forever!
Did the Exodus really happen?
“Ultimately, whether or not you’re a Christian, I hope this book changes the way you look at the book of Exodus. My goal has always been to get people excited about the Bible again—because we nd the heart of God in the secrets of its pages. If Christians want better direction in their lives, they need to start by looking at the foundation of their faith. It’s there, whispering to us through the ancient tales of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses. And it will not just be for our edi cation but for the better of the body of Christ as a whole.”
—Philip Cottraux

“Joyce Rogers has the unique gift of expressing her faith with simplicity, yet depth. In this devotional, she takes the word behold and gives it a biblical context, a thorough explanation, as well as fresh personal application. You will be encouraged and blessed by this book!”
—Susie Hawkins Author, speaker, member of Flourish Team
Behold! was inspired by a study on the word behold. Joyce Rogers was captured by the multitude of times that this word was used throughout scripture. Joyce points out that behold means “to gaze upon, not just to glance at.” She began to circle this word and then make a list of the ones that were especially meaningful to her. In her quiet times with the Lord, she began to recall, and then write down, personal experiences and devotional thoughts that centered on some of the precepts, people, and places of the Lord pertaining to the word behold. One morning outside her window a glorious sunrise caught her spiritual imagination and reminded her of other occasions when she and Adrian had experienced God’s glorious expressions of His magnificent creation. Behold! seemed to be the only word to express how she felt. Joyce challenges the reader to “Behold Jesus—the only One Who can change your life—and kneel before Him, for it is there that we can best behold Him.” She hopes that these devotional thoughts will be a blessing to you as they have been to her.
“We do not know what God the Father looks like, for He is spirit. ere are promises throughout the Bible, however, that one day we shall see His face. Psalm 17:15 says, ‘As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satis ed, when I awake, with thy likeness’” (KJV, emphasis added).

Scripture says the seven miracles that the apostle John highlighted were intended as signs. The message they carried is proof that Jesus was who He said, the Son of God! And these miracles hold great relevance in our lives today. As Dr. Rogers said, “Their purpose is to deepen our trust in Him, not in the miracles themselves.” They serve as signposts pointing to Jesus, showing that He was and is God’s answer to your deepest need—to your disappointments, doubts, disabilities, desires, despair, darkness, and death. This book will change the way you view God and His work in our lives.
“Their purpose is to deepen our trust in Him, not in the miracles themselves.”
-Adrian Rogers
“Suppose you mistreated someone and then said, ‘Would you please forgive me?’ If the other person says, ‘Well, all right, I forgive you,’ that is a pardon. But if that one takes you into his or her arms and embraces you and begins to lavish love upon you, that is an abundant pardon. at’s the kind of pardon we have in our Lord.

How are you going to know God? Not by reason. Not by religion. Not by ritual. You are only going to know God by revelation. Indeed, Jesus Christ has come to reveal God to you.

Volume 1 & 2
The Revelation is the only book that guarantees a blessing if you will only read it. It is like the clasp which binds the Bible together. Genesis describes the start of this world, and Revelation explains the end. If Genesis is the seed-bed of all theology, then Revelation offers the fruit of theology. It completes the pictures begun by the Old Testament prophets, and gives details that clarify the prophecies of Daniel, Isaiah, and Ezekiel. As you study the vision given to John, other texts will become clear, and you will begin to see the pattern and plans of God throughout history. If you ignore the Revelation, you will be left to wonder at the events of the world, without any knowledge of the prophetic word concerning things to come.
In Volume 1, Adrian Rogers takes you through the first 13 chapters of Revelation. You will learn that God’s primary purpose in giving Revelation was to forewarn and to bless His people. Some of what you will discover are: the attributes of God and the significance of numbers, on through the seals of the scrolls and the destruction that will rise up. In Volume 2, Rogers takes you through the last 9 chapters of Revelation. You will look not just at what happens to those who accept or reject Jesus and the wrath that will be poured out, but also the beautiful picture of Christ’s return to claim His bride and the remarkable description of our eternal home.

— MAY OUR PRAISE RISE TO HEAVEN, AN OFFERING WORTHY OF OUR GOD. —
Our highest privilege as Christians is to know and enjoy God’s presence. Pastor Adrian Rogers taught that we are best able to enjoy this privilege when we recognize God’s nature, reverence His name, and respect His nobility—all in WONDER AND WORSHIP.
This 90-day devotional presents a collection of Pastor Rogers’ best thoughts about getting right with God so we can rediscover the true wonder of worship. Each day’s devotion begins with targeted scripture verses, followed by Adrian’s exhortations, and concludes with three application-focused questions with space to record your thoughts.
God is present in our worship whether we are alone in quiet time, with a group, or at a large church gathering. The King of kings is in our midst, and each of us can rekindle the wonder of worship by recognizing God’s nature, reverencing His name, and respecting His nobility.

Developed from sermons written and delivered by Pastor Adrian Rogers, “The Music of Marriage” is a beautiful primer on biblical marriage for young couples just starting out.
It’s an equally powerful reminder for those in the middle of the concert of life that God wrote the music of marital love and gave us the capacity to play together beautifully.
This book will help couples find, or get back to, the loving song we were meant to play in marriage as we echo the perfect harmony Jesus has created between Himself and His bride, the Church.
“God created us differently so that He might make us one. We aren’t just created to sing in unity; we were also made to make beautiful music through harmony.” —Adrian Rogers

King David’s imprint on the history of Israel is significant. Scripture reveals that he was a “man after God’s own heart.” We see David as a young shepherd boy, a friend of Jonathan, and a servant to King Saul. Ultimately, we follow his journey as king of Israel. Many of the episodes from his life are set within the context of his often-complicated family, affording opportunities to see David’s personal successes as well as his heartbreaking failures.
The scriptural account of his life provides many insights and reveals that biblical manhood is a noble pursuit achievable even in the most challenging of situations.
The men contributing chapters to this book are godly men who shepherd God’s people as pastors. They have a unique perspective on the challenges confronting men in their congregations. As they lay the lens of scripture over David’s life experiences and build a bridge to the experiences confronting men today, they provide wise biblical counsel to help men develop a passion for becoming godly men of faith personally, in their homes, and in their communities.
“Faith is required to persevere in the Lord’s service when one understands his or her purpose, but has yet to see it come to pass. One faces many circumstances and tests, which try the breadth and depth of that faith. David experienced a number of tests between the time he was anointed by Samuel in Bethlehem and the time he was anointed as king of Israel. One challenge came from within his own family as his brother Eliab, who was the rst to be passed over at the anointing, objected to David’s entrance into the battle against Goliath (1 Samuel 17:28). He implied that as a boy, David should be home taking care of the sheep instead of meddling in the military a airs.”

People often read the book of Ruth with a prevailing focus on the beautiful love story between Ruth and Boaz and a compassionate sympathy toward Naomi. Certainly, many wonderful insights and truths can be gleaned from this approach. However, deep spiritual gems are mined when the multigenerational relationship between Ruth and Naomi becomes the lens through which the familiar story is viewed.
This fresh perspective encourages women who face tragedies, triumphs, and trials in the various seasons of life and complexities of relationships.
There are great lessons to be extracted from this story. The book of Ruth, when married to New Testament teaching, provides a wealth of biblical instruction for women as they navigate life under the providential care of a sovereign God.
Four godly women, gifted as teachers and communicators, have contributed to this study. Their own life stories reflect the very challenges faced by Naomi and Ruth. They have cultivated a love for God’s Word, and they are quite skilled at applying its truths. Their desire is to see a generation of women whose lives are characterized by grace, truth, and a tenacity of faith, which remain through the ebb and flow of life. Those who walk through this study will readily see the parallel between the challenges of Ruth’s day and the modern day. As women learn to respond to their own challenges with biblical truth, they will embrace hope for an abundant and victorious future.

Dive deeply into the topics we’ve all wrestled with and discover what God says about life’s toughest issues.

For most of my Christian journey, I’ve searched for God’s will. During the quest, I’ve faced confusion, anxiety, disappointment, and more trouble than I could ever have anticipated. At one point, I told the Lord that when I get to Heaven, the first person I want to see is my guardian angel, and when I lay my eyes on him, I’m going to punch him in the throat because he never helped me one bit down here.
But maybe I’ve had it all wrong. Maybe I don’t have to search for God’s will. Maybe God’s will searches for me.
Let’s explore this idea together. Join me and over two dozen other pilgrims as we simplify the search for God’s will. Thanks for coming along.
“Nothing is more important than the Word of God. Have you ever been in a crowded area and thought you heard the voice of someone you know? Above all the other voices you heard a familiar sound. e more acquainted you are with someone’s voice, the easier it is to distinguish it above all the others. So it is with God’s voice. Each time you read His Word, you hear the sound of His voice. It’s His Word that becomes a lamp to your feet and a light to your path” (Psalm 119:105).
“You can’t say you trust God until you’re facing the impossible. Every great achievement was once impossible. . . . Remember, wherever there’s fear, there’s opportunity, and the greater the fear, the greater the opportunity.”
“In a world that’s seeking direction and purpose, o en the will of God seems to be elusive if attainable at all. rough the book, Navigate, Jason has given us a practical tool not only to explore but to simplify the process of discovering God’s intended purpose for our lives. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is seeking to know and pursue God’s will.”
—Rick
Clendenon, president of RCM

A correct understanding of God is of critical importance to those who desire to become more like Him and to glorify and worship Him as He deserves. roughout scripture we are called to pursue a greater knowledge of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. As we grow in our understanding of all that He is, our walk with Him becomes more intimate, our trust in Him, regardless of circumstances, grows stronger, and our worship and desire to give Him glory on a daily basis is magni ed. is is what God Himself said in Jeremiah 9:23-24:
“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these I delight.”
(Jeremiah 9:23-24)

Drawing Closer: A Deeper Look at the Attributes of God will take you on a powerful and life-changing journey. Sadly, most believers never move beyond a certain point in their Christian walk. They feel they know God well enough, since they may have already given their lives to Christ. They become comfortable with where they are and never pursue a more intimate relationship with the living God. Drawing Closer calls us to pursue a deeper understanding of Who God is. Find out how well you really know Him!
“This in-depth look at who God really is causes us to look inward and reevaluate our walk with Him.”

“This is a great tool to deepen your understanding and strengthen your knowledge of Him.”

“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me”(John 15:26, NKJV).
Searching for Answers: When God Reveals His Image explains how the Bible defines the Trinity of God and the deity of Christ. This journey into many hidden mysteries of the Bible reveals the heart of God, while emphasizing our need to give our hearts to God. Searching for Answers brings to light how the image we are created in is the true secret to a divine life and how this image has been made obscure throughout the centuries. To understand this, one must understand the divine image of God. I pray that God will captivate your soul and change your life, for the truth will set you free.

When Ayla begins having unexplained dreams, she embarks on a quest to get answers and discovers the truth.

The year is 2027 and Karissa Gale is a woman who knows what she wants. A name on her Los Angeles law firm’s wall is at the top of the list. Blinded by ambition, everything else in her life is relegated to the backseat—her husband Marc of sixteen years, Ally, her thirteen-year-old daughter, and her mother, the legendary Coach Kathleen Raines.
When Coach Raines is involved in a terrible accident that kills the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Karissa and her family are thrust into the international spotlight. Desperately seeking to escape Russia’s demands for restitution and not knowing who she can trust, Karissa makes a fateful decision concerning her mother that could ultimately destroy her family, all the while running from the one thing that can save her—God’s incomprehensible grace.
“Restitution is the compelling account of ordinary people forced into an extraordinary situation. Throughout the story one is invited into moments of intrigue and life-altering decisions. You will be captivated by this spellbinding story of God’s grace and mercy in a world turned upside down.”
—Andrea Popham, Student Teacher Supervisor, David Lipscomb University

Despite the harsh realities of slavery in the 1850s, the faith and love of one slave—Naomi—transforms the lives of hundreds of souls on the Hawkins plantation in Kentucky, charting a new course for the generations that follow. But freedom and equality are hard-won, and Naomi and her ancestors struggle to overcome the unthinkable realities of the Civil War and the two World Wars that follow. Yet with an indomitable spirit and a deep, abiding faith in God, the Hawkins and Wyatt families shine a light of hope through the darkness of social injustice and cultural upheaval as their journey continues. The Blinders Trilogy is an epic family journey of suffering, perseverance, character, and hope—a godly hope that never fails.
Each book in the trilogy contains a book club guide which includes an introduction, discussion questions, and ideas for enhancing your book club. The suggested questions are intended to help your reading group find new and interesting angles and topics for your discussion. The goal is that these ideas will enrich your conversation and increase your enjoyment of the book.

After a period of rest and growth, Amory’s Envoy team is ready to take on more missions for their newfound King. But the Self-Worthy armies are growing stronger and more determined, and the team struggles to remain focused on the tasks at hand while having to deal with the Self-Worthy’s constant interruptions. To make matters worse, each teammate has to grapple with personal struggles throughout their missions. Nevertheless, they must learn to lean into the Vine in these new areas of life as they seek to accomplish the missions he gives them—which now entail destroying a powerful oppressor, growing their team, and advocating peace and restoration on the Vine’s behalf to prevent an entire world from getting destroyed.
The Envoys must trust the Vine’s word and ways to fulfill their destinies—or else witness a catastrophic loss of souls.

Cheatiebo and Delia’s traumatic birth opens the historical saga of the Wainwright family.
Their hard circumstances produced highly self-reliant tillers of the land, toughened by dawn-to-dark, back-breaking labor. Based on personal accounts, composites of ancestors and acquaintances, the stories in Cheatiebo, the Folklorist weave a whole gamut of dangerous, strife-filled events that will keep the reader turning the page.
In volume 2, Asa McCawl, the handsomest cowboy in Cooke County, Texas—maybe even in all of the Lone Star State, had caught the eye of the stunningly beautiful Ollie McClarren who had been plotting how to introduce herself to young Asa. Will circumstances allow a fateful meeting? Follow along with the rest of the story through this book and Grandmother Ollie’s family Bible.
Three devastating earthquakes had struck the central Mississippi Valley, and the 1811 temblor took place mere hours after Lorna and Jack’s fairy-tale wedding. In the aftermath of the initial destruction, Jack crawled part of the way down a rockslide looking for survivors before an aftershock sent him tumbling toward the riverbed. What will happen to Jack and the journey that follows can only be found in the pages of volume 3.
What was it like to grow up in the Oklahoma backwoods? Cheatiebo and her sisters knew.

Upon Susanna’s arrival, she makes the acquaintance of her elderly friend’s handsome neighbor and business partner, William Gage. While surveying the beautiful young woman, he is immediately captivated. Soon the pair’s interest in each other grows. However, through no fault of his own, Mr. Gage finds himself concealing a terrible secret. An acquaintance, who is also attracted to Susanna, if given an opportunity, would eagerly reveal that secret.
What will happen? Will the rival disclose William’s secret in order to win Susanna for himself? Will she be inspired by Madeline’s unshakable faith to rekindle her own?

TheGoldenFeatherChallengeis a yearlong quest to complete a set of difficult tasks that were purposefully (and prayerfully) created for boys 15–18 years of age. With a strong emphasis on taking responsibility for one’s own life, these challenges are designed to cause friction with the immature mind and stir the man within to rise.
As parents, it’s of great value that our boys know that we are confident in them, but it is far more powerful when our sons prove to themselves that they have what it takes to accomplish difficult goals. As David Storey says, “Selfconfidence is the memory of success.” And each completed challenge will give them a success to remember.
Along with the challenges, we also included blank (lined) pages that allow the boys to record their thoughts, actions, and results for each of the tasks. These journal entries are important. Each boy who demonstrates the discipline to write them will have a lasting record of his triumphs toward manhood. Over time, the GoldenFeatherChallengeand journal entries may become a cherished family heirloom, inspiring generations to come.

I Corinthians 13:11
About Debbie Struck
Debbie Struck resides in “The Classic City,” Athens, Georgia, enjoying the homeschool life with her two youngest sons. The Golden Feather Challenge evolved from the original version she created while homeschooling her oldest son who graduated in 2020. In her high-energy home full of boys, she delights in hot tea, ever-growing bookshelves, her many dogs, gardening, and the great outdoors.
She was twenty-nine years old. She had been married a mere eight months. Suddenly her precious grandparents needed her help. Equipped only with the documents provided by their lawyer, Leah Stanley navigated Medicare and Medicaid in the dark of ignorance, working her way along the tangled path of providing care for her Grandma and Grandpa who were suffering with Alzheimer’s and an unspecified form of dementia, respectively.
In Goodnight, Sweet, Leah explores the world of elder care where she found that making the right decision on behalf of someone else was not always an obvious choice, and along the way she discovered that not every family member shared her vision of loving the people who needed care but were instead dazzled by the notion of inheritance. At times she was able to stand on nothing more than faith in Jesus Christ, but Leah moved through one difficult day after another, until finally she was able to look back and realize that Jesus had stayed exactly where He said He would—carrying her through the dark waters so that she could survive the indescribable world of a caregiver.
“What a wonderful, articulate account of the realities of being an Alzheimer’s/dementia caregiver. The author beautifully expresses the difficult emotions and physical and spiritual challenges ‘caring’ for loved ones presents.”
—Julie Todd, MSSW, Former Professional Caregiver
“[Leah has] given testimony to how reliance on Christ is what ultimately makes being a caregiver such a blessing; it’s a Godgiven opportunity to express love that few experience. Goodnight, Sweet will make you laugh, cry, and marvel at what God can do in the most difficult of circumstances.”
—Bobby Roseberry, Former Caregiver
Leah Stanley was born in Memphis, Tennessee. She earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Memphis and has a background in corporate communications and freelance writing. She met her husband, Chris, during her freshman year. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, son, daughter, and their boxer/beagle rescue dog, Brooke.

Richard Kuenzinger began following Jesus when he was twenty-four years old. As a new believer, he read the Bible because he thought that would make him a better Christian— but he did not know how to study the Bible. Over the next thirty years, the Lord brought great teachers into his life who encouraged him to go deeper in his study. Through their encouragement and the work of the Holy Spirit, he began a journey of a lifetime in Bible study. A retired air traffic controller, Richard has been teaching the Bible since 1999—and he is still learning. When he began serving short term in international missions, he started thinking of himself as a Sojourner. He is currently serving as a disaster relief chaplain through the Southern Baptist Convention. Richard and his wife, Amy, have three children and four grandchildren. Their prayer is that everyone in their family—and yours—will grow in their faith walk daily.

Dragged down a wicked path of destruction…
Alcohol started off as a friend that helped me relax and socialize. It slowly evolved into this manipulative monster that controlled me. As they say in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, “I had a drink and then a drink had me.” As I tried to cope with my divorce and other life stressors, I leaned on alcohol more and more. A year passed, and I could count on one hand the number of days I didn’t consume some form of alcohol. I regularly showed up to work hungover as I isolated from the world and spent all of my free time with my drink of choice. I was dying inside.
In these pages you will walk through my journey from the depths of my disease to freedom through sobriety. You will see how my relationship with God grew as I learned to cling to Him, acknowledging that He is the only power greater than my disease of alcoholism. God helped loosen the grip alcohol had on me so that I could find Him. God led me to freedom.
“Godisfaithful;hewillnotletyoubetemptedbeyondwhatyou canbear.Butwhenyouaretempted,hewillalsoprovideawayout sothatyoucanendureit.”

Challenges are inevitable. How we respond to them displays our resilience.
Why do some people appear to be better equipped to face and recover from different types of trials? Whether physical, mental, or emotional, stress is ever present in our lives. Our stability comes from where we anchor our support—will it be a tent or a stronghold in a storm? David wrote in Psalm 18:2 (NKJV), “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust.”
In Resilience: Rising Above Life’s Challenges, author Lisa Milliken shares some of her own life challenges as well as other examples as she provides strategies for how to recover from trials and move forward. In each scenario, using research and biblical sources, we learn about the resilience that can come from our hardships if only we anchor our hope in Jesus Christ.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
—Jeremiah 29:11
Lisa Milliken is the owner of Milliken Healthcare, through which she teaches conferences for multiple organizations.

Have you ever had a desire to understand what the next chapter of your life looked like?
>A desire that wakes you up in the middle of the night with questions…
>A desire that changes the entire course of your life…
>A desire that pulls at not just your mind and body but your heart…
>A desire that says there’s more for my life, there has to be…
That desire and feeling is a Heart Call . Inside this book you will experience a collection of vivid, heart-wrenching, and thought-provoking poems—each poem begging you, the reader, to reconsider answering that long-distance call from the Father, God.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”

Victoria Hutchinson was born and raised in Florida. Born to Pastor Julian and CoPastor Sharon, she is the fourth child in a family of seven. Her parents inspired her to build a life with God, and in doing so, she became exposed to her unique gifting for writing at the age of ten which sprouted a passion for poetry that she continues to use over the course of her life. As a firm believer that God’s plan brings about provisions and purpose, Victoria has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Florida Atlantic University where she intended on continuing to receive a master’s in the same field; but God already wrote the next chapter four years prior when He gave her the poem Heart Call.

It’s time to take another look . . .
You may have missed something that is very important to how you handle and appreciate your life and existence. Luke 12:7 brings attention to the most fragile appendix of the human body: the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Although insigni cant for some and unnecessary for sustaining life, hair still has a voice and was created with a God-given purpose. Everything He creates communicates and has strategic instructions attached in order to reveal more about Him and bring glory to His name.
Unfortunately, hair has been taken for granted, misused, abused, and misunderstood. Its purpose, how to manage it, how to appreciate it, and the responsibility each generation has to empower the next has become silent. On a major scale, hair has even been rejected and replaced.
is journal will not only inspire you to take another look but also reconsider caring for your hair properly, with instruction, guidance, and the Creator’s purpose in mind. Let’s take a journey to discover just how amazing one strand of hair parallels with your life. Along the way, you will learn vital lessons for growth and development as we create a Hairloom—a guide to developing a successful hair journey to empower the next generation.

by Paul Horrocks & Reverend David Horrocks
Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised up men to try to bring them back. The prophets, the apostles, Jesus, and even more recent Christians have all performed this role.
Tough Guys of the Bible profiles men such as these. You will learn four common characteristics of courageous men so you can incorporate those virtues into your life. If you’re already a Christian, the lives of the Tough Guys will challenge you to live boldly for Jesus even when it requires great risk and sacrifice. If you’re not a Christian, don’t reject Jesus because of weak men inside the church. Explore the claims of the Bible through the lives of men who followed God the most, not those who followed Him the least. Evaluate the courageous life of Jesus. We hope you choose to join the Tough Guys in following Him as well.

Live Your Life 3 Words at a Time was not hard to write. The difficulty is trying to live that way every day. We all have bad days, so it is vital to make a decision now on how to respond to challenges so that when the time comes, we have a plan that will help lessen the negative impact on our lives.
Author Marv Loucks believes it is important to have a solid, positive plan for dealing with life’s challenges, be it certain people or events that don’t happen exactly how or when we want. We must be intentional about looking for the positive and the good first and working from there. Live Your Life 3 Words at a Time is a toolkit to do just that. We all fall short, but we should be thankful for the opportunity to keep practicing.
Our words can have a powerful influence on others. They can inspire, and they have the potential to even change a life. Be encouraged, and encourage others, just as we are instructed to do.
“Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” (1 Timothy 5:11)

Just a high school student, Deborah dreamed of escaping her hostile home environment and seeing the world. A handsome senior provided that escape. A er almost ve years of marriage and the birth of their two daughters, they divorced. Determined to support her young girls and be successful in a maledominated utility industry, she was a trailblazer with signi cant and unique challenges. Ultimately these challenges and her determination for success led to two untimely pregnancies, which she chose to end by abortion.
In the years that followed, the sacri ces Deborah had made on her self-centered, destructive path became too much to bear. She learned that each decision she made had far-reaching consequences and that the only healing for the pain and shame she endured as a result of ending two pregnancies was through God’s abundant grace. is true story o ers hope for the psychological e ects of abortion and encourages lifea rming options for others in a similar, unplanned situation.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”
(Jer 1:5)
“ e book demonstrates the triumph of the grace of God over sin, forgiveness over self-hatred, and truth over falsehood. It o ers a profound encouragement to all who are haunted by past wrong decisions.”
Father Emmanuel Osigwe, Breckenridge, CO
“Deborah has courageously invited the reader into her life. Not only has she addressed one of the most volatile issues in our culture, but she has done so transparently. Not an armchair quarterback but a fully involved (and bruised) player on the eld.”
Dr. Dan Robinson, Highlands, NC

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9)
God’s plan for Lynette’s life has been full of humor, unbelievable circumstances, heartache, triumph, and amazing provision by God. His hand on Lynette’s life is evident from the very beginning, as He placed her, as a tiny adopted baby, into a Christian home. When she was a young adult, He led her into full-time ministry with The Calvary Singers, and He walked closely by her side during many, many physical challenges. Through it all, He has been her Savior, her Rock, her Comforter, and her greatest Friend.
The Girl with the Zebra Leg, recounts just a few of Lynette’s crazy adventures. You’ll laugh and cry, but most of all, you’ll be encouraged by Lynette’s resiliency and very personal walk with God. Lynette’s life story testifies to God’s glory and grace, and displays God’s abiding love for Lynette—and for you too. Lynette’s prayer is that her story and Savior might be an antidote to your fear, your depression, and your hopelessness. But most of all, she hopes that if you don’t know the Savior, you will consider putting your trust in Him, the Lover of your soul.
“Lynette is a tremendously gifted musician and vocalist but also an anointed songwriter. And now, once again, she is ministering to us by taking pen in hand and sharing her story.”

Lynette Johnson was adopted and placed by God into a strong Christian family—where she came to know the Lord. After a somewhat rebellious childhood and a life-threatening illness, she surrendered to full-time ministry. Lynette spent nearly twenty years traveling, singing, and entertaining with The Calvary Singers—sharing the gospel across the US and into Mexico. She earned a bachelor’s in religious education and a master’s in theology from Lake Charles Bible College. Lynette continues to lift high the name of the Lord as she shares her story wherever He leads. Lynette resides in Lake Charles, Louisiana, with her service dog, Deja, and her chihuahua, Jazmine.
Molly Ellis was called into ministry at the age of thirteen. She married and served with Norman Ellis, as he pastored a local church for seven years, served as an active duty chaplain in the United States Air Force for eighteen years, and pastored an English-speaking church near Paris, France, for four years. When Molly isn’t traveling and singing with Lynette, she stays very busy traveling to see her three children and nine grandchildren.
At the height of his professional career, Mark Wiggins received devastating news. “You have stage four head and neck cancer, and the prognosis is not good.”
The inevitable questions flooded his mind: Why? Why me? Why now? I don’t smoke or drink, and I exercise regularly . . . I train and run marathons. How could I possibly have this deadly disease?
A Temporary Inconvenience is a deeply personal look at Mark Wiggins’ journey through the most difficult battle of his life— stage four cancer. With the help and love of his family and friends, including his two daughters and devoted wife, Mark decided to chronicle his arduous journey through the uncharted territory of medical diagnoses, tests, treatments, surgeries, and medications that have brought him to where he is today: in a constant fight for his life.
If you’ve ever wondered how someone who holds a deep faith in God walks through life’s toughest challenges, then you need to read Mark’s story. Everything is laid bare . . . the struggles and victories, the disappointments and successes. And in the midst of this impossibly difficult journey, you will also hear the melody of a deep, sustaining faith and the song of gratitude that fills the lungs of this man who praises God for every breath. Join Mark Wiggins in this extraordinary journey that he has declared to be a temporary inconvenience!
“While Mark’s valiant battle with a rare form of cancer is the genesis of this book, the lessons he shares of how he and his family endured the process, triumphs, and challenges of such a journey provide a must-read primer on living life. Each illustration comes from his heart and will poignantly touch yours—causing you to reflect on life in a manner that may not have been possible before.”

Manuel (Trey) Chaney III
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
(John 13:34-35)
I Am Opens Our Eyes is a blueprint on living a life with Christ as the focus rather than looking to other worldly “quick fixes.”
After continuous failures brought on by looking in all the wrong places, Chaney finally came to a crossroads in his life: continue on the path of least fulfillment, or choose God for joy and peace in his heart. This book recounts countless examples of Chaney’s struggles and failures that resulted in him serving seventy months of prison time. Through this very trying time, he turned his eyes toward Jesus and found peace during his incarceration. Since being released, Chaney’s life is forever changed as he continues to seek Jesus in every aspect of his life.
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived—the things God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

Tommie Scott
The Tommie Scott Story is a true story—a true love story—but not of the usual variety. This is a story of a gangbanger and drug dealer nicknamed “Hit man” who worked his way through the juvenile reform system and into a California state prison by age twenty.
It’s the story of an angry young criminal with no remorse and no hope. And it’s here—in the depths of hopeless darkness—that this story begins again. It begins again with a humble, gray-haired man who was not ashamed to be a servant and to share the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.
It begins again with a new birth—a spiritual rebirth into God’s family through Jesus Christ. And it continues today with a repentant and joyful servant—a dedicated soldier for Christ—whose true story affirms God’s Word that says, “… neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38, NIV). “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10, NIV).
“When in His earthly ministry, as Jesus entered a village, those who encountered Him experienced change. e remarkable story of Tommie Scott testi es to the fact that Jesus is still transforming lives, for Tommie is a trophy of grace! I highly recommend the reading of his life story; it will challenge you to be more faithful in leading others to Christ, for there is power in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!”
—Dr.
E. A. Johnston, evangelist and author
Tommie Scott is former gang member and now born-again believer in Jesus Christ. He is an author, advocate for at-risk youth, working toward his chaplaincy for the Las Vegas Community Gang Task Force, and a dedicated witness and soldier for Christ. Tommie is a native of Southern California. Tommie is now living and doing good works in Christ in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife, Rache’t, and their five children.

Since 1988, I’ve been publicly sharing the story of how I walked out of a perceived homosexual identity. Why? Because I remember being a boy wondering if freedom was possible. The church didn’t have answers. The world didn’t have answers. The gay community just tried to make me give up and accept this as my innate identity. Yet, something deep inside of me kept knocking at the door of my heart saying, “There must be more. This cannot be your ultimate destiny and identity.” When God met me with the Truth of the transforming power of Jesus Christ, and I began what I call my incredible journey, I began to realize that I’d been lied to by the world and the philosophies of man. After seven years of freedom under my belt, the Lord asked me to begin publicly sharing my story because there were others out there who felt the same as I felt— that there must be more. This book is for those who want to experience God in an intimate, lifechanging way, regardless of whether or not they’ve ever struggled with unwanted same-sex attraction. This is my story, yet really it’s the story of redemption found in knowing Jesus Christ intimately.
“Day a er day, I’d sing through the Psalms then take time to write down my own heart’s cry to God as deeply and emotionally and rawly as I’d perceived David and the other psalmists had done. . . . As my friends began to encourage my songwriting, it was as if some great beast had been released from somewhere deep inside my soul. I imagined myself being a co-writer with King David and the other psalmists.”
“If you want some advice about pursuing a calling, challenging the odds, or wrestling with your own humanity, you’ll nd answers and a kindred spirit in Sing Over Me. Dennis Jernigan’s story is as compelling as it is heartbreaking, encouraging, and downright entertaining. e man has a lot to say, and I’m so grateful he said it.”

Dennis Jernigan, due to the nature of his own story, understands the pain life can bring, but he also understands the healing power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Dennis spends a great deal of time in his personal ministry helping people deal with their emotional wounds. A Thread of Hope was born out of ministry to one such person who needed to hear a song of deliverance born from her own intense pain and abuse at the hands of adults. This book is intended for adults.
Dennis would advise parents to read A Thread of Hope before allowing their children to read it.
It is a sad state of affairs that we even need such a book . . . but we do. Use A Thread of Hope to find Jesus and His healing in your own life, and use it to minister healing to the hurting people you encounter.
“A Thread of Hope is one such story of a young child trying to find hope in the midst of feeling ‘alone, abandoned, and afraid.’ . . . I believe this book will be a glimmer of hope for victims of child sexual abuse (both young and old).”
—David
Adams, PsyD, LPCC, BCBA-D, Meier Clinics, Laguna Hills, CA
“I recommend this book to anyone seeking the hope of peace and healing from such life experiences. I specifically endorse this useful resource for professionals working with children and adults, alike, who have lived through and are coping with such tragedies.”

“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary.”
(Psalm 107:2, NASB)
Dennis wrote Daddy’s Song for his children, as a means of explaining the redeeming love of Jesus to them. He created it out of his own story of redemption. In being asked to share his experience in such a public manner, he needed a way to tell his children his own story without it being too much of a burden for them to bear. Daddy’s Song became the perfect bridge to lead them to Jesus and, when they were old enough to understand, the perfect explanation to the reality and the depths of Dennis’ own deliverance from sin. It is a family heritage and treasure. May it prove the same for you and yours.
“Daddy’s
Song is a very intimate look at the love of our heavenly Father. It reveals His unconditional love and, through the beautiful music and heart-wrenching story, the listeners get taken on a journey. After hearing this, I have personally found myself in tears and uplifted knowing how much God loves me no matter how far I have fallen.”

Dennis Jernigan
Dennis Jernigan, author of The Incredible Growing Basketball Goal, tells of his childhood through the lens of this beautiful story of faith and determination:
When I was a boy, I never heard my father say the words “I love you” to me. Ever. As time went by and teen years turned into my college career, these words were never uttered. They seemed to always be on the cusp of his heart, but never breached the air of the spoken realm. It would not be until well after I had married and grown into a man in my midthirties that I summoned up the courage to ask him why he had never spoken his love to me: “Dad, why did you never tell me you loved me?” His answer spoke volumes to my soul, ringing deeply out of the past and with volume into the present: “My dad never told me he loved me…so I did not know how to tell you. But Son, I love you.” After that encounter, everything changed. I could not help but wonder how a man who never said the words could have acted in the ways he did unless it was love. As I pondered my life and looked back, I discovered clue after clue and compiled evidence upon evidence to the contrary. The greatest expression of love is the laying down of life for the object of one’s love. My dad had done that ever since I could remember, and this story is but one of those beautiful memories I hold dearer than mere words. This is the true story of such love: The Incredible Growing Basketball Goal.
“Daddy’s Song is a very intimate look at the love of our heavenly Father. It reveals His unconditional love and, through the beautiful music and heart-wrenching story, the listeners get taken on a journey. After hearing this, I have personally found myself in tears and uplifted knowing how much God loves me no matter how far I have fallen.”

Linda M. Brandt
My Jonah Journey: Developing an Attitude of Gratitude is the true story of Linda M. Brandt’s triumphant journey through a series of Job-like catastrophic experiences: the tragic death of her thirty-two-yearold son, the discovery of a rare brain tumor and the precarious surgery that followed, the horrendous episode of spinal meningitis, and then her own neardeath experience. For four minutes and with doctors working frantically, Linda lay heart-stopped and unbreathing on a cold hospital table next to the MRI tunnel where her son, Scottie, had been sent to bring her home. But God had other plans….
Now for the first time in book form, Linda M. Brandt shares her three-year “Jonah journey,” describing how she replaced fear and despair with an attitude of gratitude as she learned to walk again, to drive, to paint, to undertake normal day-to-day activities, and then finally to do them alone. Of course, Linda is the first to say she never really was alone. Doctors told her, “We never see people like you again. They just go into their houses and go away.” But because of God’s grace, Linda’s was a different journey. My Jonah Journey: Developing an Attitude of Gratitude will inspire even the most skeptical among us and reveal the One who loves us very, very much.

Many of her paintings are held in private collections around the world including the home of late President Ronald Reagan. Linda is the only known adult survivor of a particular rare and serious brain tumor. It was during this time, while inside an MRI chamber, that Linda had a near-death experience of which she writes in her soon-to-be released book, My Jonah Journey: Developing an Attitude of Gratitude

The inspiration for Like a Watered Garden came from a ten-minute opening in a Bible Study Fellowship class thirty-five years ago. The teacher mentioned Psalm 92:12: “The righteous man will flourish like a palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.” Thanks to lengthy naps by her three-year-old son, she researched the plants and trees of the Bible for the next year. Discovering how little was written on that subject, she conceived a dream to write a book on them. Like a Watered Garden is the culmination of ten years of research, much encouragement and guidance by God, and the result of many prayers. The combination of the vivid pictures, the biblical foundation, and the personal reflections present a beautiful image of how our lives can look like God’s watered garden.

In this life, you WILL experience adversity. Expect it. It is inevitable. But if you understand that struggles and difficulties are opportunities for personal growth, adversity will also be invaluable. Upside Down is a story about how God used a girl with Down syndrome to change a man, a family, a church, and a community. The birth of a child changes life for parents. The initial shock of hearing that their daughter was born with Down syndrome took that change to a different level for Marv and Kerri Loucks. It was a defining moments in their lives. Then, seventeen months after their daughter, Kyle, was born, they faced another major crisis. Kyle underwent surgery to correct a heart defect. The surgery was successful, but she contracted a virus that nearly took her life before her second birthday. That adversity was not the end, but the beginning of something better. Upside Down will encourage you to reflect more, reach higher, grow in your faith, love more unconditionally, give more freely, live more fully, and persevere more intently. It is about finishing the race. Do not get to the end of your life only to find regret. Finish strong.

Eachyear,thousandstraveltoIsrael’s manybiblicalsites.Butcanthey knowthatthelocationstheyare experiencingareauthentic?
Doesitmatter?
In stark contrast to the biblical skepticism of our modern age, Where God Came Down emphasizes agreement between the Bible and archaeology. Using Scripture as his primary ancient text and most crucial interpretive tool, author Joel Kramer examines the archaeological record for ten locations recorded in the Bible.
What is the evidence that supports these sites as the actual biblical places? —is a question that Kramer seeks to answer by analyzing five Old Testament sites and five New Testament sites.
Does it matter to know if these sites are authentic? —is another critical question raised. Kramer responds with a resounding, Yes! It matters because the Bible is not a made-up account of antiquity, as many today claim. Instead, the Bible is a record of real events and actual places that can be traced through the course of centuries.
Peeling back layers of dirt and time, Kramer expertly lays out the archaeological evidence for his chosen biblical sites. But more than that, he carefully reveals the profound spiritual significance that ordinary, unimportant places became the setting where redemption’s story played out on earth—the places Where God Came Down.
The Soul Shepherd Jericho Unearthed The Sacrifice
While residing in Jerusalem for nearly ten years, Joel Kramer earned an M.A. in archaeology from the University of the Holy Land. Studying under worldrenowned archaeologist Dr. Shimon Gibson, Joel gained valuable field experience excavating in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Ai. Currently, Joel lives in Amman, Jordan, with his wife and three children. In addition to speaking, teaching, and leading biblical study tours, he continues to research, write, and participate in various archaeological projects.

The Bible is the greatest book ever written, and it’s more than just a book—it’s the very Word of God. It unveils the unfolding story of God’s ultimate plan to restore mankind’s relationship with Him. The answers to life’s deepest questions are found within its pages. It reveals who we are, why we are here, who God is, and how we can know Him. However, for many people, the great riches of the Bible remain undiscovered and its exquisite beauty, unseen. The relevance of the peculiar accounts of ancient people in faraway lands seems just too obscure, yet their thirst for God remains.
If you are one of these people, then this book is for you.
The Essence will take you on a personal, guided journey of discovery through some of the most essential passages of Scripture. The significance of each will be revealed, and you will begin to understand how everything fits together. You will see Jesus as the Offspring of the woman, the Passover Lamb, the Bread from heaven, the Water from the rock, the Abandoned One, the Shepherd’s Shepherd, the Suffering Servant, the virgin’s Son, and so much more. In the end, you will hopefully come to know and love both God and His Word much more deeply.

John Pasquet grew up in a strong Christian home and was deeply impacted by the Navigator ministry in college. He developed his heart for the world when he served as a missionary for two years in Ukraine with Campus Crusade. For over a decade now he has been actively involved in ministry to international students and scholars at Mizzou, many of whom have never read the Bible before. One of Pasquet’s greatest joys is opening the Scriptures and helping them understand God’s message.

Does the Tanakh (the “Old Testament”) teach the divinity of the Messiah (the Christ)?
The answer is “yes!” and this book will show how.
The development of the Messiah theme in the Tanakh is a subtle progressive revelation, but there is nevertheless plenty there to demonstrate that a great king will one day come who will reconcile Jews and Gentiles back to God and will rule the earth as not only the son of David but also as the Son of God. To our natural minds, this seems impossible: the infinite God coming to us as finite man; “but with God all things are possible.”
Whether you are Jew or Gentile, you will be encouraged when you learn that the king and redeemer of mankind, who will rule forever on David’s throne, will not be a flawed mortal man, but the righteous eternal God.
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”

Did you know that the first colleges of America were all Christian colleges that prepared their students not only for this life but for the eternal life to come? Sadly, these schools today are effectively atheistic.
How did this change happen, and was it justified? As this book explains, it was largely due to the onslaught of naturalismbased science during the 1800s as energized by the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant. Science pressured the schools, but the addition of Kant’s super-subjectivism turned science into a religion that could not live at peace with Christianity.
In The Slaves of Immanuel Kant, Dr. Engleman first serves up a brief history of philosophy leading to the Enlightenment and Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. He refutes Kant’s critical philosophy by revealing its self-refuting, circular, and even nonsensical nature. Highlighting the Christian characteristic of three sample early colleges—Harvard, Yale, and Princeton—Engleman reveals how the Kant-energized religion of science aggressively drove the old faith out of the schools in the late 1800s. The result has been a disaster, both temporally and eternally. What remains is a call for American schools to regain an eternal perspective.
“Let every student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, and therefore to lay Christ at the bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.”
—Henry

Jews’ Continued Place in God’s Plan in the Era of the Church
by Eric E. Engleman
Are the Old Testament’s messianic-era prophecies fulfilled in the Church? Yes!
Are these same prophecies fulfilled in Israel? Yes!
The Church does not completely “replace” Israel. How can this be? Because Israel fulfills these prophecies literally, and the Church fulfills them spiritually (figuratively). Through her long history, the Church has generally assumed that these prophecies describe the final, immortal, blessed (“saved”) state, and thus can only be spiritually fulfilled in the Church. But, as Kindness Towards Israel will show, there is no clear mention in these prophecies of eternal life, and so, they rightly should find literal fulfillment in an earthly and temporal Israel that is separate from the Church.
Yet, based on New Testament teaching and what the Old Testament allows, these prophecies should also find spiritual fulfillment in a heavenly, eternal Church that is separate from Israel yet consists of both Jews and gentiles. God will fulfill his promises made to the Jews as well as his promises made to the Church—in which “there is neither Jew nor Greek … for [they] are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).

Eric E. Engleman’s life has been anything but ordinary!
He serves Christ now as a pastor and teacher, but he was not always this way. As a child he was a headache for his parents and a lazy dreamer. Later he was a liar, prankster, and less than sincere man who often treated his fellow man poorly. But while he was a sinner, God forgave him and changed him. His narrow escapes from disaster while in cars and canoes, Navy jets and dirt bikes, showed him plainly that someone greater than he was watching over him. Eric recounts some of these “near-death experiences,” but more importantly, he records that God lovingly sent people to him with this message: “Be reconciled to God!”
Confessions of a Cutthroat Trout is ultimately about God’s extraordinary patience and loving mercy, for He is “not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

PreachingisacallingfromGodto proclaimHisgloriousgospeltothe world.
Only God can call and make a preacher for His sake. Dr. Roc Collins, a veteran pastor, preacher, and evangelist, provides a toolbox of insights, preparation strategies, and compelling stories that will sharpen your skills and magnify the Message. S.I.M.P.L.E. Preaching details the process from your initial approach to the text, to the last verse of the invitation. This book provides six “S.I.M.P.L.E.” steps to practical preaching:
1. Start with prayer
2. Invest in the text
3. Maximize the message
4. Preach
5. Leave it all in the pulpit
6. Extend and invitation
Unlike many books on preaching that focus simply on hermanutics, Collins’ goal is practical: to help you lead people to Jesus and challenge believers to radically change into His likeness.

Phil Hoekstra
In July 1941 Winston Churchill sent a telegram to Franklin Roosevelt stating that in the fight to save the world from the Nazis it would be necessary not only to have great numbers of tanks but also to have sea-going vessels capable of landing them directly onto the beaches of Europe. Soon thereafter the Landing Ship Tank was designed, and by late 1942, there were LSTs of the U.S. Navy afloat and active in the war effort. This clumsy, unsightly vessel became one of the most important warships in the Allied effort to victory in World War II.
High and Dry on the Beach tells the history of one of those ships. From a diary written by a crew member and other eye-witness accounts, this is the tale of what it was like to participate in World War II as a crewmember of an LST. Photographs taken on that ship and from many other sources shed light on the experience of fighting the war in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Normandy on an LST.
This book is written to honor the memories of the crew of LST-311 and to make certain that their great grandchildren will have some idea of what they have done in service to their country.
Philip Hoekstra is a writer from Memphis, TN. He is a chemist, author of many technical papers, and recipient of two Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge awards. Raised on a farm in Iowa, as a kid Philip listened to “war stories” told by his uncles, describing their experiences in WWII. This is his father’s war story.

Memoir
by Ron and Patricia Owens
The Song We Sing is a story that came within hours of never being written, had not God intervened.
Canadian-born Ron had returned to North America from Switzerland, where his family had moved in his early teens, to attend Bible College in Upstate NY. Mississippi-born Patricia was attending the nearby Eastman School of Music. Ron and Patricia would suddenly find themselves being carried along by a Provident Hand in ways that neither of them could have imagined.
You are the song we sing, O Lord, fresh as the morning dew. A song of resurrection life made possible by You. You are the song we sing, O Lord, You are our everything. Without You, Lord, we’d have no song, You are the sing we sing.

Religious Leader Biographies
Ron Dunn (1936—2001) was an international itinerate Bible teacher whose life still inspires many of today’s most in uential pastors. In this new biography, fellow disciple Ron Owens passes along the spirit and passion of this man who, from his mother’s womb, was called to preach the Word of God. You will learn this calling had to be worked out in the context of some of the highest peaks and deepest valleys a person can experience, from great success in ministry to the tragic suicide of Dunn’s son and a ten-year battle with clinical depression that followed. Ultimately the grace of God expanded Dunn’s ministry further to many parts of the world. is celebration of Ron Dunn’s life and mission includes special remembrances from acclaimed Christian leaders, illuminating experts from his best-selling books, abridged versions of his most popular sermons, and notes from his wife Kaye.
We would all do well to imitate Ron Dunn as he imitated Christ.

Joyce Rogers
“Being a minister’s wife is a calling from God. I was married to Adrian for 54 years before the Lord took Adrian home. We grew closer to God and to each other over those years, but it wasn’t always roses. Through Chosen to Be a Minister’s Wife, I hope to help mentor the next generation of ministers’ wives by sharing my experiences—both joyful and difficult—and the insights the Lord taught me along the way.”
Joyce Rogers
Chosen to Be a Minister’s Wife provides a candid and enlightening look into the life and ministry of Joyce Rogers, wife of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers. In Chosen to Be a Minister’s Wife, Joyce shares personal anecdotes and life stories that reveal biblically based principles for how to: encourage your minister husband by being a woman of integrity and wisdom; discover your own uniqueness; develop a hunger for greater knowledge, understanding, and love of God’s Word; uncover the secret to having the best marriage in the world; make your home ring with laughter; prepare your children for the calling God has on their lives; nurture close friendships, learn to set priorities, and practice godly mentoring.
“Joyce has written a wonderful resource for pastors’ wives that is practically useful, beautifully transparent, and personally intimate. Her words touched my heart with moments of laughter along with times of quiet tears. Most precious to me is the chapter entitled, “Lessons I Learned from Adrian,” reminding us all that our husbands are also our pastors whose sermons, teachings and very lives testify to us of God’s great glory!

Jere L. Phillips, PhD
Younger pastors are looking for practical help in the language of their generation. Pastoral Ministry for the Next Generation integrates contemporary issues and biblical principles. Pastors of all ages will find details for the “how to’s” of nearly every aspect of church ministry. Pastoral ministry is timeless. Certain aspects of this life and work endure through all generations until the Lord returns. Yet, the milieu of ministry constantly changes. People expect their ministers to baptize them, marry them, and bury them, but marriage in today’s culture involves questions for next-generation ministers that their grandfathers never imagined. Next-Gen ministry requires thoughtful processing of biblical foundations and contemporary applications. Dr. Jere Phillips’ extensive experience provides a biblically based, future-focused approach. This book was written for young pastors but can help ministers of any generation, especially new pastors.
“I know the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows, of being a pastor. I also recognize a valuable resource for pastors and the churches they serve. Dr. Jere Phillips’ new book, Pastoral Ministry for the Next Generation, is such a resource. . . . Any pastor, new or seasoned, will benefit greatly from the wisdom offered in his writings. I wholeheartedly recommend this work.”

“Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” –Matthew 6:24
Ministry & Money is the result of years of Hebraic studies on the life and ministry of Christ and the history of the early church.
In the world of Christendom today where ministry has turned into big business and where there has been so much abuse in ministry finances, this book will take you back to the truth from the Bible. Brother Carroll Roberson will help you to better understand how the world has come into the church and why the Holy Spirit is not at work in the average church today.
This book helps you to see that ministry is a sacred calling of God, and the life and ministry of Jesus clearly teaches against the “health and wealth gospel” that has led so many down a road of a feel-good, false doctrine.

Can rebellion be holy? Certainly, as long as we rebel against things that God abhors. Built around seven powerful expressions of love, Holy Rebellion draws lessons from real-life ministry encounters. Wedged tightly into each story is the most powerful lesson a pastor could ever learn—the message of love. From cover to cover, Holy Rebellion takes the reader on a vivid journey through the most glorious victories and embarrassing blunders in pastoral ministry. From being compared to a primate and proof of Darwin’s theory of evolution, to falsely congratulating a woman on her pregnancy, the reader comes face to face with awkward and hilarious moments in ministry. This book also explores the imperfection of pastors who at times fail miserably. Books that gloss over the painful times in ministry that were self-induced do little to edify pastors who struggle with the consequences of their mistakes. Holy Rebellion is fresh, honest, and compelling.
Kevin Moore faithfully serves as the senior pastor of Lamar Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas.

Kevin understands the importance of training future leaders who will boldly preach the Word of God. After receiving his PhD in Old Testament from Southwestern Seminary, Kevin launched a pastor-driven approach to fundraising for his alma mater called “Southwestern Sunday.” Kevin and his wife are blessed with three beautiful children.

Hundreds of missionaries go home each year due to stress affecting themselves and/or their families. Hundreds of others remain on the field but struggle with reduced effectiveness from bearing the burden of stress. The Missionary Family: Managing Stress Effectively provides sound biblical and practical principles to help missionaries and their family members manage stress and become more effective in ministry. An integrated approach, these principles touch causes, effects, and management techniques in each part of the human being—spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral. Dr. Jere Phillips has over forty years of ministry, including experience as a state-based missions administrator, pastor, and extensive overseas service on six continents. He is also a stress survivor. Motivated by two life-threatening illnesses, he began an intense study of stress management, which he has assimilated with over twenty years of interaction with missionaries in North America and internationally.
The author has over forty years of experience in ministry, including extensive missions experience in the United States and overseas. While in college, he served as a churchplanting summer missionary in Oregon. After serving as pastor and staff minister in Tennessee, Louisiana, and Florida, he became the director of the Missions Department of the Tennessee Baptist Convention and then served as executive director of the West Virginia Convention of Southern Baptists. A professor at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary since 2001, he also has served in numerous interim pastorates. The Phillipses have two married daughters and seven grandchildren. Their youngest daughter, Jennifer, and her family serve as missionaries in Brisbane, Australia.

Gerald Roe was interrupted while lecturing in his church-planting class by a student who asked, “What if Jesus came back right now to live on earth like He did in Bible days? Wouldn’t He go to church the same way He went to the synagogue back then? Which church would He choose? If the true church is all about Jesus, wouldn’t it be a good idea to consider what Jesus would look for in a church and make that part of our church planting methodology?” Where Would Jesus Go to Church? answers those questions. As Dr. Roe makes clear, for the blessings of God to rest upon any congregation, the church must answer two important questions: What is the true church? and What is the church to do? In far too many instances, these questions are being asked in the reverse order, leading to a compromising disconnect between the church’s essential biblical character and its earthly effectiveness. Where Would Jesus Go to Church? sheds needed light and offers practical, biblical answers.
Gerald Roe is currently department chair and associate professor of intercultural studies/ missions at North Greenville University in Tigerville, South Carolina. Prior to moving to South Carolina, Gerald spent over thirty years in ministry serving churches as senior pastor in Texas, Hawaii, and Kentucky and as the Director of Missions for the Massachusetts Baptist Association under missionary appointment of the North American Mission Board, SBC. Additionally, Gerald continues his pastoral ministry by assisting churches in various forms of transition and as interim pastor. Dr. Roe earned his undergraduate degree from Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, Texas, and two graduate degrees from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. His passion is for pastors and local churches, both current and future. He is married to Cheryl Dianne and has four grown children and four grandchildren.

We are all in Convalescence…
Convalescence is a time to recover and heal and learn after injury was sustained or hardship was endured. It is the period where we see things anew and struggle to understand new questions and possibilities. It is when we grow stronger from our scar tissue than we ever could without it. The writings contained in this book are the gathered and organized documentations of one person’s recovery process.
This is my Convalescence.
“To convalesce is to recover from an illness or from radical medical treatment. Timothy is convalescing. Some of the sights, sounds, and smells of what you read may be offensive to you. But read on! Watch the progress! Rejoice at the signs of increasing health. The Great Physician is at work! This Christian life is explainable simply and in these terms as ‘something only God could do.’”
—Dr. Daniel D. Robinson, Pastor-Teacher-Author-Missionary
Edwards’ writing is unique in that it is not anchored in one span of time alone or buttressed in only one format of expression. What is placed upon the written page is an anthropological progression of one’s wonder with the world and the God who created it from infancy to young manhood. As such, Edwards proves himself to be a neo-modern philosopher, poet, chronicler, and theologian of the issues that challenge those wanderers of the human condition in our current age.
—James R. Fisher, Captain, Chaplain, USN (Ret.)

Timothy Edwards is a young writer from South Carolina. Born to domestic missionaries to the U.S. Military, he has been blessed to meet a massive variety of people and travel all across the U.S. With a relentless energy and an inseparable family, he was able to grow up in an environment that is rarely seen today. His love for writing and lyrics was slowly birthed from the midst of trying times for him, his family, and his friends. Through trials and triumphs, aching and accolades, Timothy learned more about life than he ever bargained for, and he hopes to encourage people with the same messages that bring him peace to this day.
Where can we find refreshment for our souls when we are spiritually dry?
We live in a busy, hectic world. Everywhere we turn, voices are battling for our attention. There is only one place we can find the spiritual refreshment that will enable us to live the life that Jesus desires for us: the Word of God.
40 Days of Refreshment is a devotional to guide you in your walk with Jesus. The number 40 is a special number in the Bible. We read about Moses’ forty years in the desert, the Israelites’ forty years in the wilderness, the forty days and nights of rain that God sent when he destroyed the earth, and Jesus’ forty days and nights in the wilderness where he was tempted by the devil. However, the number 40 represents more than just a time of testing—it represents teaching. Moses learned what it meant to walk with God, the lessons proving vital when He stood before Pharaoh to speak for the “I AM.” The Israelites learned important life lessons in their wilderness wanderings. Do you think Noah ever again doubted the promise, protection, or provision of God? Even Christ’s forty days in the desert with the devil set the stage for the greatest ministry that the world has ever known.
May the verses and thoughts in this book help turn your attention to God’s Word and lead you toward renewed strength to live the life He died for you to have.
“The number forty is fascinating as well as an important number with great significance and meaning. It is a symbol of a period of time of trials, tests, and transitions. Every one of us goes through those periods of tests, trials, and transitions and the question is how do you prepare for them? Better yet, how do you make it through them? The best way to meet the trials and tests and transitions of life is to be prepared by being in the Word of God daily. This devotional, once a day for forty days, will be one of the most invaluable, life altering disciplines you could ever engage in. Don’t wait until you find yourself in a transition, a trial, or a test. Begin today.”
—Dr. Mac Brunson, Senior Pastor, Valleydale Church, Birmingham, AL

Those who are rooted in Christ are equipped to withstand the storms of life— like the wise man that built his house on a rock and was not “tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine” (Eph. 4:14). They will find nourishment in Christ and peace that surpasses understanding. Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:10–11).
God’s will for every believer is that they abide in His will and have absolute confidence in their salvation. Jesus said, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). To love God and discern why He put us here is our mission: “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). With that confidence, we can be Rooted in our God-given purpose.
“That you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend . . . what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:17–19)
“Author and teacher Brad Whitt, in his book Rooted, helps us to understand it’s OK to be deep, but if you want real influence and you desire your spiritual life to reach outward to others, the conditions of both soil and climate must be met to the fullest. Of course the soil is your heart, and the climate is the habits of your life.”
—Ken Whitten, National Director
of Pastoral Leadership, NAMB

Throughout the Bible we see countless examples of God using ordinary people for extraordinary things. Faith can take a man like Moses who was afraid to speak in front of a crowd and give him the courage to stand before Pharaoh; it can take a selfish, spoiled boy like Joseph and change him into the man that saved an entire nation; it can take a ninety-year-old woman like Sarah and cause her to become pregnant and give birth to a son, through whom God would fulfill His promise to Abraham; it can take an old preacher like Noah and cause him to spend one hundred years building an ark just because God told him a flood would destroy the earth.
Heroes: Amazing Stories of Faith walks through Hebrews 11 in a compelling study of Abel’s worshiping faith, Enoch’s undying faith, Noah’s working faith, Abraham’s obeying faith, Sarah’s receiving faith, Isaac’s family faith, Jacob’s pilgrim faith, Joseph’s visionary faith, Moses’s liberating faith, and Rahab’s saving faith. Through these flawed individuals we see that faith can move mountains and transform sinners into saints.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. . . . By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” —Hebrews 11:1-3

God appeared to Moses as a burning bush. He appeared to the Jews as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. But His most important appearance was as a human being, Jesus the Christ. It is important to know that Jesus is none other than God Himself, the One of whom the prophets of old wrote, and the One who appeared to them in various forms and ways. It was while He was in the form of a man (Jesus) that God went to the cross and thus provided for our salvation.
In God’s Message to the Christian Church, Reverend W. Lewis Autrey shares a clear message concerning who God is, how He speaks to His people, how He redeems man from the grip of sin and death, and His promise to come back and take us to heaven to be with Him. This is God’s eternal message.

A Cultish Side of Calvinism was first written for the purpose of clarifying Calvinistic theology, but Coate’s research led him to the conclusion that it shares significant similarities to unorthodox Christian faiths. Coate’s scrutiny will prove to be biblically balanced and practically engaging for anyone remotely interested in Christian theology. As a pastor, speaker, and hospital chaplain, Micah has experienced firsthand Calvinism’s effect in Christian culture. He clearly writes how you can beware the pitfalls of Calvinism’s overly systematized theology. If the rise of a cultish theology grows within Christendom, so must a true discernment of its claims and consequences. The same standard that has placed Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Scientologists outside the Christian camp of orthodoxy has now, for the first time, placed the theology of Calvinism as being too cultish for comfort. Unlike any other book on the market, A Cultish Side of Calvinism not only shows that the theology of Calvinism is more systematic than biblical, but that it is comparable to almost any classic Christian cult. Most people know that Evangelical Christianity has rightly denounced theologies that differ in the essentials of the faith.
