Book Description
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

Book Description
You're never too young to be one of God's "special agents"--the people He uses to accomplish His will in the world. In this prayer book written especially for middle-grade children, the author of the popular teen prayer book Hear Me uses the examples of special agents of the past--the saints--to encourage children to serve God here and now. In addition to morning and evening prayers, prayers for special needs, and psalms to pray, Special Agents of Christ includes "training drills" on preparing for confession, understanding the Liturgy and the clergy's vestments, and more.

Book Description
The Rosary signifies prayer--a form of daily prayer and meditation for millions of Roman Catholics across the world--and has been for centuries. The Rosary unites the followers of Christ as one family in a common faith, baptism, and Lord. The power of the Rosary stems not only from the intercession of the Mother of our Savior, but each of the twenty mysteries finds its source in the Bible. The truth of the word of God teaches us not only that the Father sent his Son to save us from our sins so we may have eternal life, but also how we live our communion with Christ through our daily choices. The Rosary and the Bible lead us to Jesus Christ; the Scriptures point to Jesus, and Jesus is at the very center of the Rosary. And so, the Rosary and the Bible provide us with the armor we need to help us in combat: against Satan's deceptions, lies, and attacks. To know the truth, we need the word of God, and to live in truth Jesus gives us his mother at the cross, "This is your mother." We need the grace of God, Mary's intercession, and the word of God in spiritual combat.

Book Description
This is the eclectic true story about a man who encountered an extraterrestrial in the year 2013. In his quest to understand the otherworldly experience, he embarked on an incredible journey. He discovered that he possessed visual capabilities that exceeded those of any other human. And he discovered that the extraterrestrial he encountered was Jesus Christ. The unwitting victim of circumstance, the man found himself at war with all of heaven. After five years of preternatural investigation, he uncovered the reason why and the tragic and terrible mistake he made on the day Jesus came. Resigned to his fate, the man turned his eyes loose on the world of God and cracked Creation from A to Z. All of God's secrets--the truth of the soul, how God attached a soul to a physical world life-form, the purpose of life, how God creates life, the reason for suffering and evil, the answers to every question--became known to this one man. After years of living in terror of having God press the brand of the second Judas upon his head, the man finally decided to give God's secrets to the created human race--the particulars not revealed in the Bible, the things God never shared with Jesus, the truth behind everything that human beings need to know to understand that the game of creation is for real and it is for keeps. And it is the most dangerous game ever conceived.

Book Description
This book addresses the questions about the believer's relationship to the Torah (the five Books of Moses, or the Pentateuch) and its commandments (the Law): Since Jesus kept the Law, are believers (Jewish and Gentile) also obliged to keep the Law, or at least some portions of it (Sabbath, the food laws, etc.)? What about the Oral Law (rabbinic traditions)? How does the Torah point to the Messiah? How do we apply the Law of Moses today? Though this book is based on more than a decade of academic research, it is written with the non-academic reader in mind and provides easy-to-understand answers to the questions related to the Torah and does so in a manner thoroughly rooted in a careful reading of the biblical text.
