In this audiobook adventure, I go exploring in the book of Proverbs. I conducted five topical explorations: the fool, the liar, the hater, the ruler, and the teachable person. I simply recorded the verses for each topic in the order they appeared in Proverbs. I have resisted the temptation to comment and just let the verse speak for itself. I found it fascinating to simply listen to the verses one after another. I think you will too. As you listen be sure to reflect on events, situations, and attitudes in the news you read or hear.

What is real? Do you ever wonder if something is truly real? Can real things become more real? In More Love-More Real More Real-More Love, we will explore answers to the question. The exploration will begin with excerpts from a popular old children’s story, The Velveteen Rabbit.

The thoughts about what is in “it” for Jesus came to me when this verse was read during a worship service in my local fellowship. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance (Ephesians 1:18). I found it amazing to think that believers, his holy people, could be his rich and glorious inheritance. Probably like most other Jesus followers, my focus has always been on what is in it for me.

In Battle for Your Mind, we dig into the details of the process of transformation for the Jesus follower. Scripture reveals that since the Jesus follower is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, they have been given a renewed mind. As new creatures in Christ, the Jesus follower has a new capacity for thinking. They begin to think biblically. They begin to obey the teachings of Scripture. They find a need to reject and abandon the old ways of thinking and replace them with new ways of thinking. Hence, the value and importance of a new mind.

God created mankind with the capacity to think. What a person thinks matters and what a person believes matters. Anything that matters must be important. People like to know what they think and what they believe is true because that would be important. However, that is not what happens because sometimes, maybe often, people think and believe what is not true. This is a problem. This book is about truth and reality. This book is about the importance of God's truth and God's reality because God's truth and God's reality matter.

Regeneration in the Jesus Follower explores the wonder of the process the Lord has created for changing the Jesus follower into the image of Christ. Regeneration speaks of a re-creation or being created again. This term describes what happens when a person is born again and becomes a believer and a Jesus follower. Scripture teaches that when a person becomes a believer, they become a new creation.

This book is a topical exploration of the Book of Proverbs. The Book of Proverbs is one of the wisdom books. Here are the first seven verses from the Book of Proverbs.

This book is divided into three parts, and each part is presented with an issue is not the issue format. I seek to identify the assumed or presented issue and then through exploration of Scripture discover the "real" issue. Part 1 concerns issues involving the supernatural. Part 2 looks at issues concerning the process that God uses to grow believers in Christ-likeness. Part 3 explores the issue of leadership in the church of Jesus Christ and who is in charge.

The first four chapters elaborate on the concept of camps. This is important background information for personal application for the Jesus follower that comes in the last three chapters. The overall experience of the seven chapters is the creating of a setting for understanding a closer relationship with Jesus. This is something every Jesus follower wants.

Those Jesus followers who have known Jesus for a long time keep discovering the riches and treasures that come to them as a benefit of being "in Christ." As they contemplate these riches and treasures, they can become overwhelmed by worship and praise. Scripture proclaims what experience confirms, the riches and treasures are unsearchable, boundless, and endless. In this book, I have explored the many examples, illustrations, and proclamations of those riches and treasures.

To answer the question completely and thoroughly "What does it mean to be saved?" is impossible. Why is that? I can think of a least four reasons. There is more yet to be revealed about what it means to be saved.
