Book nine, Feelings of Forgiveness, reminds us that true liberty is found in Christ when we understand that we can experience forgiveness for sins. Sin is bondage, and Jesus came to set us free from our captivity.

End the confusion! God's people have been sold a bill of goods. If you think about it at all, evolution could not be true. If this young earth is really billions of years old, then God is a liar. You know that isn't true. This book tells the tale of God's creation lovingly, by a man who only recently came to his senses. It had been obvious when he visited the Grand Canyon that this hadn't happened over countless millennia. It had happened quickly with a massive flood of water. God made man. We didn't come from apes.

Book Eight, Truth to Trust, answers the lie that truth is relative and that there is no such thing as absolute truth. Not only is truth absolute, but also we can know it to be true.

This book is direct and to the point. In it we share a word the church does not want to hear in this modern age of political correctness. But we really need to consider the implications. "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." We must start with the narrowness. Many people are made nervous by this.

Christians are called to bear a cross. These crosses sometimes involve the general burdens that affect everyone. At other times, Christians bear specific burdens. The Lord promises us that our crosses and burdens can be transformed into small splinters if we focus on what really matters. How can this happen? You will find the answer in Splinters of the Cross...the same answer that was found by Abraham, Moses, Daniel, Peter, Paul, and many more: God's grace is sufficient for you.

Most Christians desire only mountaintop experiences with God, but life isn't all mountaintops. There are valleys we must go through from mountaintop to mountaintop, and it is through the valleys that we experience the truly victorious Christian life.

Charles Dickens referred to the parable of the prodigal son as the greatest story ever written. He has not stood alone in that sentiment. For generations this brief parable, as told by Jesus Christ, has been not only familiar but captivating to its readers. Perhaps what makes this story so intriguing is the way so many of us can identify with the younger son, who rebelled against his father only to realize later the gravity of his mistakes.

He's My Son is the true story of a six-year-old child's courageous fight for his life after a traumatic accident and the power of prayer to help his family cope during this time. Throughout the ordeal the little boy's father deals with grief, fear, and regret only to be given hope through his wife's unwavering faith that Christ would heal their son. The family would find their strong tower in Christ during this time and would refuse to give up hope, even against professional medical opinion.

If you took a census within any Sunday Service or Church meeting, at least 80% of the congregants would profess the desire to become a matured believer for Christ. But if you press the group to take their desire into practical day to day applications, the number of willing participants will significantly decline. Of course God is there to help you by His Spirit but you must be committed to playing your part.

Many, oh! so many of God's dear children are living on the wrong side of Pentecost, living on the same plane as that on which the disciples were living before they were filled with the Holy Ghost; and thus by their lives practically making the sad confession, 'We did not so much as hear whether the Holy Ghost was given, or whether there be any Holy Ghost.' The object of this little work is to call their attention to their Birthright, to the fact that the Fullness of the Spirit is the Birthright of every believer.

I sat in church listening to a charismatic preacher proclaiming the Word of God in an enthusiastic fashion. I was fascinated by the amount of Bible quotations he reeled off in his one-hour message! I was surprised by the fact that though I was a new believer - having been in Christ for just two years - I could complete some of the scriptures he quoted.

In The Apocalypse Has Begun, Steve Terrell vividly explains how these eschatological events came to pass and makes a convincing argument for the apocalyptic trials that are soon to follow. He also clearly shows how many of these events will not take place as people have expected.

“As a man thinks in his heart so is he.”Many people who are familiar with Proverbs 23:7 (above) conclude that what they think about they will become. With that in mind they lead with their brains and assume their spiritual identity will follow. They reason that they can control, even create, their destiny with their thinking, failing to realize that their minds are part of their fallenness which must be continually renewed - realigned with God’s purpose.

In Eavesdropping on God, the listener has the privilege of "listening" in on the conversations, questions, and struggles that one man faces, which are not unfamiliar to many Christians. I borrowed the term Eavesdropping on God from my pastor, Dr. Dennis Brunet. When he is preaching, Dr. Brunet will talk directly to one individual and tell him or her, "Can I talk to you for a bit? We’ll just let the others eavesdrop."
