A REFRESHINGLY BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE FOR HEALTHY MARRIAGES AND REAL HOPE FOR HURTING ONES The couples who have come to me for help have already tried all the worn-out spiritual cliches. They are wearied by the flippant advice given by well-meaning friends. They are tired of faddish theories of pop psychology. After wedding tears of joy have dried, tears of hurt and hopelessness sometimes find their way even into otherwise happy marriages. In troubled ones, they may become the norm. Not a psychology book or self-help manual, The Ministry of Marriage shows the biblical plan for building a life together, even if only one spouse is pursuing it. Shattering the I-am-married-to-the-wrong-one myth, The Ministry of Marriage shows how applying biblical thinking brings miraculous results to even severe and prolonged cases of marital discord.

MINISTRY OF PRESENCE speaks to the heart of chaplaincy. It deals with the history and definition of chaplaincy as well as the chaplain's call to ministry and relationship to his church. Specific challenges within the framework of chaplain ministry such as pluralism, prayer, and proselytizing are also addressed. MINISTRY OF PRESENCE would easily fit in the library of those already in the chaplaincy, chaplain candidates who are preparing for ministry, or anyone who is interested in learning about chaplaincy. The principles presented are not simply theory but have been born out of the context of Whit's experience and practicing what he preaches. His insights will encourage and challenge anyone seeking to minister from a biblical perspective in any venue of chaplaincy.

Before God works THROUGH a man, He works IN a man, because the work that we do is the outgrowth of the life that we live. Little wonder that Alexander Whyte told a group of theological students, A congregation is awaiting you, to be made by you, after you are made by God. Whatever call a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry. The pastor's priority is to live obediently before the Lord. Dr. Clarence Macartney wrote it well: The better the man, the better the preacher. When he kneels by the bed of the dying or when he mounts the pulpit stairs, then every self-denial he has made, every Christian forbearance he has shown, every resistance to sin and temptation, will come back to him to strengthen his arm and give conviction to his voice. Likewise every evasion of duty, every indulgence of self, every compromise with evil, every unworthy thought, word, or deed, will be there at the head of the pulpit stairs to meet the minister on Sunday morning, to take the light from his eye, the power from his blow, the ring from his voice, and the joy from his heart. Keith Knauss provides the insight and means of becoming the kind of man that the Lord wants us all to be--HOLY. May the gracious Holy Spirit be pleased to take this presentation of thought gathered from holy men of God and capture their heartbeat for us. May He see fit to stir the fires within our hearts and renew our determination to magnify our office, to give ourselves up to God's work, to labor in season and out, to do good, and give no offense that both the ministry and ourselves be lifted up above all faultfinding of fair-minded men.

The decline of the Knowledge of the Holy has brought on our troubles. A rediscovery of the majesty of God will go a long way toward curing them. It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous or inadequate. If we would bring back spiritual power to our lives, we must begin to think of God more nearly as He is.

Have you ever thought that you could never live a life of faith like the heroes in the Bible? Caleb was an ordinary man. He wasn't a preacher, a politician, a CEO, or a first responder. He wasn't famous. He wasn't even a hero He was an ordinary man living an extraordinary life not because of anything in himself or in his circumstances but solely because of his relationship to his God. We look at such men in public life and say, 'Surely God does not expect me to live as they.' If in the dawn of the spiritual history of God's people such an overcomer as Caleb could shine forth with such brilliancy what excuse can there possibly be to those of us living near the midnight hour of the time of Christ's church on earth? Caleb calls and challenges us. 'Let us go up at once and possess it: for we are well able to overcome it.' Will you respond to the call and accept the challenge of Caleb the Overcomer?

The late preacher W. A. Criswell used to preach a series of sermons called the Scarlet Thread through the Bible. Cut the Bible open at any verse, and it will bleed Christ. Christ IS the Word of God Studying a book written by an infinitely wise God having an infinite number of personal applications, the study of the trail of blood could be taken through a host of different trails. To pursue just one trail is a monumental task. The verses examined in this booklet will only be representative because every book of the Bible contains Christ, often in a multitude of ways. Some might say, 'I know that Christ is revealed in the Scriptures. What is the purpose of this booklet?' Jesus Christ took time to expound the Scriptures concerning Himself. On the road to Emmaus we see Christ preaching and teaching. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Jesus began in Genesis and taught through the Old Testament the Scriptures concerning Himself. May the reader say with the men whom Jesus taught that day, And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? May the reader want to experience heart burn like those men did that day.

The world system has never been a friend to Christian women, especially today in the 21st century. There is much confusion as to the role that women fill in society, work, and home. Confusion causes stress, anxiety, and lack of peace. Our God is not the author of confusion. His plan and design for womanhood never changes, it is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Christian women can indeed have peace in the midst of the world's turmoil and confusion. True peace comes from trusting the Lord God and following Him and His Word. The Scriptures give us guidelines for women, from birth to death. Sometimes in life we just have to stop and go back to square one to get back on the right path. A Christian Woman's Realm takes us back to the basics.

Oíd: He aquí, el sembrador salió a sembrar; y al sembrar, aconteció que una parte cayó junto al camino, y vinieron las aves del cielo y la comieron. Otra parte cayó en pedregales, donde no tenía mucha tierra; y brotó pronto, porque no tenía profundidad de tierra. Pero salido el sol, se quemó; y porque no tenía raíz, se secó. Otra parte cayó entre espinos; y los espinos crecieron y la ahogaron, y no dio fruto. Pero otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y dio fruto, pues brotó y creció, y produjo a treinta, a sesenta, y a ciento por uno... (Marcos 4:3-20) Dios quiere sembrar Su Palabra en su corazón, Qué clase de tierra representa su corazón? Medítelo y siga un cuidadoso estudio de las lecciones de este libro. Este libro es una guía para la evangelización de las personas que desconocen al Señor Jesucristo como su Salvador.

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason, or that some supreme being plays a role in changing our lives? It is more complex than that. So many factors account for all changes that it is impossible to pinpoint the cause and effect in our ever-changing universe. For every action there are an infinite number of reactions. MOTHMAN RETURNS. Suddenly, the gray-cloaked object began to unfold, as if it was in an imaginary shell, and was unwrapping its body in precise movements to reveal itself.

What a joy to be allowed to bring this book on 1st and 2nd Corinthians to the Church. These two books have at times been misused and misinterpreted.

What great truth these Epistles give us as they probably have more to offer this generation of churches than any previous generation.

It is my hope that it will be an encouragement and help to every reader

Living in fear is like staying in a prison cell with the doors wide open and the freedom to leave. The Lord Jesus not only came to seek and to save, He also came to give us life more abundantly which includes peace in the midst of life's storms. Fearful times will come. Difficult things will happen. How we handle that initial shock of fear or even the fear that troubles us daily will determine whether we live in the Lord's peace or the enemy's prison of fear. A Fear-Less Christian Life explores the causes of fear, how it affects our lives and how to live fear-less with God's Word.

A natural result of accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is a new desire to see others come to know Him. The burden is greatest for those who are near and dear to our hearts: spouse and child. New Christians are so eager to share their faith, but many times loved ones are not very open or receptive. Often we look at the lives of those we share Jesus with and see no hope for their salvation. We fail in not placing our burden with the only One that can truly give us any hope, Jesus Christ. Salvation is God's plan fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The Spirit of God draws men to salvation. Jesus wants our loved ones saved more than we do. It is His will for all men to be saved; man only has but a choice to make. Dear Sister in Christ reminds us of what Jesus can do and where we can find hope and comfort in His Word.

Americans are facing an unprecedented health and healthcare crisis. Chronic diseases such as Cancer, Diabetes, Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Disease are increasing at an alarming rate, despite decades of government programs to curb them. Thyroid, Adrenal, and Autoimmune Diseases are becoming epidemic. Two-thirds of our people are overweight or obese. Symptoms such as pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, digestive problems, and mental fog are common complaints heard in doctor's offices and churches around the nation. Our government and the medical establishment have no answers for these problems-only symptom management. What are the causes of these disorders? Poor diet choices and lack of exercise do contribute. However, we are also living in a chemical soup of toxins and are being poisoned by our food, water, personal care products, and other environmental exposures- such as the interior of water damaged buildings. In his first book, Alan Gruning, DO challenges us to take ownership of our health and adopt an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle. We must change the way we eat and the products we use. We must detoxify our bodies and seek to live a more balanced life. There is a lot at stake for our families, churches, and nation. With years of practical experience treating a wide variety of very sick patients using a Functional Medicine approach, Dr. Gruning has developed a comprehensive plan to reduce your inflammation and improve your health. You can have more energy, lose weight, think more clearly and be able to fulfill the purpose the Lord has for you. Don't put it off any longer. Get started now This is your Prescription for Health.

Giants of the Missionary Trail is a condensed yet highly informative survey of the lives of eight heroes of the Christian faith that will stir your heart for the cause of church planting world- wide. The examples of selfless devotion to the cause of Christ are not intended to promote any particular fellowship, college, mission board or special interest group, but to inspire men and women to volunteer for service as missionary evangelists or missionary helpers, wherever the Holy Spirit will lead them. This book may be read on its own for the sheer enjoyment of it, or as an indispensible study companion to World Evangelism: Heartbeat of the Local Church.

Isaiah 52:7 reads, How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace;

that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

How Beautiful the Feet describes those who bring good tidings of the gospel to others. Within the pages of this book are stories of six different heroes of the faith who used their talents and lives to honor God and further the gospel and truth of God's Word. This book was designed with family devotions in mind; however, it would be a great resource for someone who learns through storytelling. The devotional is designed to be used daily over a period of 85 days. Each of the six stories is broken out into two-day increments. The first day of each missionary story introduces a Bible truth and verses to support the Bible truth. This is followed up the second day by a Bible story or passage that teaches the same truth. As the stories of the six missionaries unfold, readers will be saturated in Bible truths from forty-two different Bible passages. Each missionary story and accompanying Bible passage are beautifully interwoven and challenge readers with a reflective thought for their own lives.

This book is a modest attempt to aid God's hungry children so to find Him. Nothing here is new except in the sense that it is a discovery which my own heart has made of spiritual realities most delightful and wonderful to me. Others before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there may be those who can light their candle at its flame.
