How does one walk out of one identity and into another?

Dennis Jernigan gets that question a lot. Walking out of a homosexual identity in 1981 and living life since then in a brand new identity-a new creation in Christ-you can imagine the curiosity such a life might produce. Dennis set out to answer this question, and in so doing, the book Renewing Your Mind was born.

At one time, Dennis felt attracted to other men. When he began to replace the lies concerning himself with the truth of God's Word, something close to miraculous began to take place: his feelings began to change What Dennis has discovered is that the main battle of his life is the mental battle of discovering his true identity according to God's Word. In the process of seeking God relationally, Dennis discovered the power of God's Word to transform his mind. Two specific passages gave him strength to pursue God for a change in his thinking, and the end result is a brand new identity not defined by feelings, temptations, circumstances, other people or groups, or even himself. Dennis Jernigan is defined by his Maker.

Parkinson's & Recreation is a humorous yet sensitive look at author Dennis Jernigan's journey through the rough and rocky terrain of Parkinson's Disease.

In Parkinson's & Recreation, Dennis takes the reader from the devastating and dreaded moment of hearing the words, Mr. Jernigan. You have Parkinson's Disease, to the instances of discovering unexpected moments of joy and peace as he came to terms with the diagnosis and symptoms he's lived with for over four years now.

With open honesty and humor, Jernigan bares his soul about overcoming the difficulties of fear and anxiety that often creep in when breaking the news of a diagnosis like this. Through stories and anecdotes, as well as practical advice, Dennis shares the beauty of his journey so far and the myriad opportunities he's found to make new and lasting-and sometimes hilarious-memories with his family.

In a nutshell, Parkinson's and Recreation is the story of a man who decided to change his attitude and perspective when faced with a dreaded circumstance. It's the story of a man who has chosen to live life fully...and die well.

A warning to the most pious readers: Jernigan shares a few stories teetering very near the boundaries of good taste (to almost bawdy in nature) but all with the hope of showing the good, the bad, and the humorous as honestly as possible.

ABOUT THE BOOK: 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.

It is difficult for Christians to know how to respond to homosexuality in today's culture. Some believers argue the truth while others remain silent to avoid offending. How can we lovingly, yet truthfully, respond? Dennis Jernigan offers advice from a perspective the world says isn't possible, as one who turned from homosexuality to find freedom in Christ. With truth, grace, and wisdom, Dennis tackles such questions as: - Does God call homosexual behavior sin? - Do homosexuals go to hell? - Does orientation equal identity? - How do I love without judgment or condemnation? - How do I minister to my child who has walked away from the Lord? - And many more. Part of the Church Resource Kit: Homosexuality, Identity, and the Church, this study guide supplements the video series with additional materials and thought-provoking questions for the individual Christian and the church.

What would you do with your last sixty seconds?

Jake was a hero. At least, that's what the people around him said. In his thirty years, he'd been through hell, but he'd survived. Thrived, even. And had the loving wife, beautiful children, and dream job to prove it.

Today, Jake would board his first-ever flight, eat a steak dripping in butter, and present at a prestigious conference. It was one of those days that seemed too good to be true.

Because it was.

Something went wrong. And Jake's past caught up with him.

If you loved Wm. Paul Young's The Shack, you'll enjoy this heart-gripping, edge-of-your-seat novella.
