RUTH: God's Favor with a Caress of TruthA Gentle perspective from the rural side of lifeThe unit of study you hold in your hands describes the way of the life of the farmer in Midwestern states. In the day of the book of Ruth, through the knowledge offered from the Bible is the clear unity of God to a female He loved. We explore the groundwork and learn how God made viable His graft of the lineage of Ruth and Boaz. The son they bore was of Christ's heritage and it was a declaration of the family unity supported by the hand of God. Knowing God had favor for a people group before Christ's birth brings a bond of favor to our hearts. The love of the Father to this region of the world was witnessed by two women of faith in the manner of pursuing Christ as well. The length of the study is simplistic so a small group can gather on a weekend retreat or even an evening commute and a regular expression of time can be adhered to.

Switchbacks: Travelling God's Zig-Zag Path to our Destination by David RoxHow do we expect God to work in our lives? We often think that God will move us along simple, straight paths. After all, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. This saves time and distance. But God is rarely concerned or limited by time or distance. Our expectations of how God should be working in our lives are quite often unsupported by the life stories we find in scripture. We see it over and over again: God works in peoples' lives in indirect ways - in almost a "zig-zag" manner. It's like the switchbacks on a steep hiking trail. Join the author as we examine the life of several biblical characters to see how God moved in quite remarkable ways to bring people to a place of total trust and faith. Perhaps God wishes to work in our lives in the same way, no matter how unpredictable and uncertain things may seem!

Adolph of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church and Bishop David L. Toups of the Diocese of Beaumont have collaborated to offer simple, scriptural devotions to help you reflect on the spirit of Thanksgiving to prepare for this incredible national holiday.Jesus' most important meal was the Last Supper which is the beginning of the Eucharist.

We live in a Genesis Three World.Even a quick look around reveals that things in this world are not as they should be. Violence, including war and mass shootings and self-inflicted harm such as suicide, occurs more than regularly. In the words of Paul, We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time (Rom. 8:22). That groaning began in the days of Genesis chapter three. Genesis chapter two assures the reader that all that God created "was very good". Due to the events recorded in Genesis chapter three, "was" is a key word. Yet not all hope is lost. In fact, another chapter three found in the Bible provides the answer to the problem of the brokenness of our world. The purpose of this book is to equip the reader with biblical and biblically-based tools for navigating through our Genesis Three World.

The Bible challenges us in Romans 12:2 to not be conformed to this world but to be transformed by renewing our minds. Our natural human tendencies are strongly bent toward selfishness. It permeates our being and aggressively reveals itself in our interactions. Our culture seems to be pushing further and further toward the trend of selfishness. In a world of societal pressure, constant competition, and drive for material possessions and pleasure, I challenge you to take a deeper look at your life and ways in which you can kill selfishness. I want to challenge our way of thinking. I want to challenge us to change. I want to challenge not only our relationships but how we view our relationships and those around us. This book will challenge you to take a closer look at your every action to eventually lead a life of selflessness, worthiness, humility, and self-control. If we want to change our world, we must first change ourselves. And in order to truly change ourselves, we must first take an honest, unhindered look inside ourselves to discover how we can kill selfishness to live out selflessness.

We have to rely on our faith and His awesome faithfulness!I hope that The Book of Esther: God Watches from the Shadows brings you to a deeper relationship with the Lord and that through it, you realize that no matter what you feel, He is always watching over you, even if in the shadows.

King David fought relentless battles in order to bestow a kingdom of peace to his son Solomon. David, a conquering "man of blood", brought Israel's enemies into subjection. In turn, King Solomon rested in his father's accomplishments. In fact, Solomon's only entitlement to the kingdom was being born into it! In the same way, we were born-again into a kingdom of peace through Jesus' bloody cross. We now rest from war as the New Testament Solomons. This book will delve deep into the lives of these Old Covenant kings for one reason: to reveal the King of glory. This revelation will confirm how God's nature never changed... ours did! Moreover, The Honor Of Kings will prove how Jesus is the reason these rulers were accounted for in the first place. God's goodness, Jesus Christ, is hidden within the pages of the Bible, and to find Him is the honor of kings.

The Balance of the Cross is Always a Plus is a collection of writings that required over 35 years of diligent study of the Bible. Through the illumination and inspiration of The Holy Spirit, God taught me creative ways to understand the Bible and its many teachings about living the Christian Life while on earth. It is intended for both Bible-believing Christians who long for intimacy with God and as a guide for new Christians to grow in the ways of the Lord.Teachers and Pastors can preach creatively from the treasure God has put in this collection of writings. It took many days for me to craft the words in this book to describe what God wanted to communicate. I believe all who read it will delight in and find His tender guidance and loving correction in your daily walk.

A delve into the mystery of the universe.Man has been ignorantly searching for a God that looks similar to human beings under the space darkness, but unknown to man, God is not a man but a Spirit being that formed our dark universe and all therein.
