Ella Dubose -Administrative Assistant-Baptist Church "Flow exciting! This body of work will cause you to think again. You will hack up and re-read time and again. Did I read that right? Yes, you did. You never thought of that before. Right? If you are one of those who decided long ago to never allow a new thought to cross your mind, this book isn't for you. If you are still in love with the God of the Bible, the person of Jesus the Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit, you will enjoy looking at yourself as you come to understand who God is and how He desires to be a part of your life each day. This in-depth study proves my theory that the best commentary on the Bible is the Bible itself. Denise & Joe have done all the searching for you. Their comments are concise, relevant and will be helpful as you compare scripture with scripture. I plan to begin reading this again, as my devotional time in 2020. Hopefully, as I learn more about who God is and how He desires to be worshiped I will become a better servant of the Most High God?' Garry W Polston - Retired Clergy United Methodist Church "This book is written for anyone who has a pulse and wants to know The truth for themselves, to have a fruitful relationship with our Father God. It's an easy and safe read that is quite thought provoking, opening your mind to the knowledge and wisdom of what God is revealing to us through the Bible.

Book Description
What caused Dietrich Bonhoeffer-- a well-educated and philosophical pastor from Berlin-- to risk his reputation, his freedom, and finally his life to stand with others against the brutality of the Nazis? In this special collection of his writings, Bonhoeffer reveals his thoughts and struggles as he reflects on the Bible. This unique collection includes excerpts from Bonhoeffer's letters, meditations, expositions, sermons, lectures, and seminar papers-- with topics stretching from his thematic study of the historical critical method to his study of selected portions of Psalms 119, which he regarded "as the crown of theological life." Bonhoeffer's statements about the Bible-- and his struggle with those statements-- remain remarkably relevant today for individuals and churches, for Christians and non-Christians. He still challenges us to decide "whether we are willing to trust the word of the Bible or not."--Back of the book.

Book Description
We all experience adversity in our lives, but how we deal with the trouble that inevitably shows up is a part of the Christian experience. The book of Job is generally not a popular book due to the subject matter, but if we want to be prepared for the complete Christian journey, we must nevertheless commit ourselves to understanding its value. In Nuggets of Gold from the Ash Pit, author Michael Howard explains how the book of Job, known for its harrowing and difficult story of Jobs fall at the hands of the devil, is in fact filled with golden nuggets of encouragement right from the throne of Godif only we are willing to dig for them. In the face of the death, destruction, lamentation, and accusation in the book of Job, we can also find hopeful, loving lessons from God that speak to his compassion for all of his children, regardless of the circumstances. And it is also a lesson for us, one meant to lift us up into Gods presence and bring us into communion with him. Job was a man who had it all, and then he had it all taken away. But from him we can learn how to deal with adversity when it comes, choosing to bless God and persevere. When it comes to the book of Job, we have to dig a little deeper in the ash pit to find encouragement. It is there, though, and we can find it.

Book Description
In this book, my dad John, humbly shares a glimpse into his spiritual evolution. His story consists of many material highs and lows, culminating in his roots growing ever stronger in spiritual understanding and God consciousness. His lifetime has consisted of great prosperity in his career through hard work and following his heart. He has also encountered many difficulties including the death of his daughter (my sister), and only a couple years later, the death of his wife (my mom). With loss we reach a fork in the road. Will this material suffering lead us to great lamentation, the seeking of sense enjoyment as distraction, or the ultimate path of transcendental understanding? With his spiritual strength, dad has continually chosen the path of loving servitude aided by deepening his connection to his true soul and its source. I attribute my spiritual path to my father’s influence and hope his story and spiritual maxims in this book can do the same for the reader.
