"As a wise person has said, 'The longest journey is the eighteen inches between the head and the heart." Every step of your journey, from the egocentric self to the Christ-centered heart, opens your life to the miracle of living with God-centered love. The process is not unlike the opening of a rosebud. The unfolding takes time, but in each moment of opening, new beauty is revealed. The journey from infantile human love to God-centered love is the most exciting of all journeys." -From the Introduction to "Reflections of the Heart"

.Why does God allow suffering?

.Are all religious expressions equally valid?

.Do evil spirits exist?

In "The Jesus Gamble" author Michael Rowles answers these and other questions in a systematic and readable style. He applies sound logic without downplaying the reality of the supernatural world.

His main focus however, is the person of Jesus Christ. He demonstrates that many historical and contemporary beliefs about Jesus of Nazareth are simply implausible. Instead, following the trail of clues deliberately left by God Himself within the pages of the Bible, he leads us to the...

"I don't know about you, but I need all the help I can get when it comes to spiritually jump-starting my day. Some days I get up and it is all I can do to concentrate on a few verses of Scripture. Other days I feel tempted to blow off my twenty minutes of reading because I'm anxious that I have too much to do. On such days I have found it helpful to have a source to direct my thoughts toward God. I need a tool to help me rouse my weary spirit and prepare to take on yet another day of kingdom building. In short, I need a wake-up call. Do you? "So writes Will Davis Jr., in "Wake-Up...

Just as Ruth gleaned in the fields of Boaz I have gleaned in the fields of my life. This is a collection of short thought provoking readings. Many are really worth remembering and thinking about. Such as: "Faith honors God, God honors faith." I have included some Bible facts, some of which are almost obscure from today's Biblical writings.

Jesus Christ, who is he! His life and words have been the source of controversy, debate and study for over two

Pastor and writer Michael D. Kurtz reflects upon lessons learned from growing Christmas trees for nearly twenty years and applies these lessons to everyday faith and living in "LESSONS FROM A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM." In the prologue Kurtz writes: "The instructions from God's creation are pronounced and profound if we will open our eyes, minds, and hearts to the inherent lessons. Growing Christmas trees, like growing in the Christian faith, is neither quick nor easy. There is required of us patience, diligence, and hard work. And, above all, divine grace."

Divided into thirty chapters LESSONS...
