Book Description
In a day when most religious leaders were known for their efforts to discredit the ministry of Jesus, there came one who earnestly sought Him. In a day when most religious leaders mocked Jesus as He hung on a cross, there came one who meekly helped bury His body. And in a day when most religious leaders felt threatened by Jesus, there came one who courageously chose to take a stand for Him.This is the story of a teacher called Nicodemus who God used to teach what it means to seek God, not only in word, but also in deed. Just as his life was a testimony to the people of his day, it remains an example to us today.There is an adage that says, "if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." Nicodemus was a humble man who willingly stood boldly for truth. Explore his story through this novella - the portion you may already know, and the rest of the story that could have been.

Book Description
Journey Into The Unknown is a story about Alzheimer's disease, but even more so, it is a story about the faithfulness of God in the difficult times of life. Artie Sudan is a physician in Internal Medicine who has taken care of hundreds, if not thousands of patients with Alzheimer's. He has given out much advice to their caregivers and would consider himself an expert in the field. But when his own wife is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease at age 53, he begins a journey into unknown territory - being a caregiver himself. He finds that all of his advice and experience over the years, while good, did not prepare him for all that this new job would require. This job takes him totally out of his comfort zone and beyond his giftings. But he is not without resources and he does not give in to despair. This book also traces a long line of God's faithfulness to Artie and his wife, Luana, over the decades before this dreaded diagnosis. He describes how each of these instances become like little stones of remembrances that he puts in his altar to God where he worships. This then becomes a well from which he draws when he needs the strength to go on or to handle a new situation. This is a story about a real person, with real struggles, doubts and questions. It does not make him out to be a super saint. It does show God to be super, but even more so, to be faithful. As you read their story, you will be encouraged that you, too, can rely on the faithfulness of God when you encounter your own journeys into the unknown.

Book Description
No matter how much is learned, if that learning remains in our heads, it is not enough. Unless learning touches our hearts, it's never going to bring us the wisdom we seek, the peace we desire, or the intimacy and connection for which we yearn. A new and more receptive way of knowing is needed, and is found in this course for the heart. "A Course of Love" was received by Mari Perron and given to be a "new" course in miracles. It is for the heart what "A Course in Miracles" is for the mind. For many, it is the next step in a journey already begun.
