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
This autobiographical novel is a fusion of the author's heritage and a recollection of the life-altering event that potentially could have destroyed her life. From the outset of the story [which takes us back to the depression years and her father's exploits during World War II] the reader gets the impression that this is not the real message there is something much deeper going on. This curiosity about "what really happened" keeps the reader turning the pages, only to discover the heart-breaking story of cruelty and total disregard for a young girl's life. Many times people feel isolated and alone while being surrounded by the family and friends who think they know them best. The main character of this novel is such a person. Her sense of worthlessness and self-loathing lead to many acts of self-destruction as she desperately tries to terminate her tortured life. Such stories have become all too common and have the potential to destroy the hopes and dreams of their victims. Fortunately for the readers of this book the story does not stop at that point. It offers an understanding of how victims can find a way out of the hell in which they have been placed and become restored to wholeness once again. It is the story of a second chance to have a normal life filled with all the happiness and endless blessings God intended all people to enjoy. "From My Lips to God's Ears has stirred-up many emotions within me. To open-up and tell aspects of your life takes great courage. It has made me realize that we are quick to judge when we really don't know what has gone on in a person's life. I also believe that we have at least one good book in us, but are probably not prepared to bare our souls as M.A. Walker has. The bottom line is that God knows each book that is in us, and He alone will judge the story we have to tell. Great book, please read!" - Fred Myers

Book Description
The heart of the biblical understanding of idolatry, argues Gregory Beale, is that we take on the characteristics of what we worship. Employing Isaiah 6 as his interpretive lens, Beale demonstrates that this understanding of idolatry permeates the whole canon, from Genesis to Revelation. Beale concludes with an application of the biblical notion of idolatry to the challenges of contemporary life.

Book Description
Is it possible for a person to hear the voice of God? This is not a strange phenomenon. The Bible records how men, women, and children experienced a deep personal walk with a living God. He is not a God of the dead but of the living. The Bible teaches that the Spirit of God lives inside of every born-again believer. (John 14:16-17) From God's Lips to My Ears is a book of conversations from a Living God to one of His children. In this book, readers will have the opportunity to sit with the author and her Lord and hear the gracious words fall from His lips.

Book Description
Faith without obedience is dead. Prayer without action is wasted. What would your life look like if you stopped praying about God’s will and just did it instead? How would your church look if it spent as much time serving as it spent praying about serving? The truth is, sometimes when you think you’re praying, you’re really just procrastinating. And when you think you’re asking that God’s will be done, you’re really telling him no. In times that call for action, prayer can be disobedience in disguise. Wasted Prayer uncovers the ways we use prayer to dodge responsibility for the work God has assigned us. Complete with punch-in-the-gut biblical exposition that will help get you off your knees—and out of your chair—Wasted Prayer will provide you with the jolt you need to start living like a Christian, instead of just praying like one. It’s time to stop praying and start doing.

Book Description
Hello, my name is Dr. Ralph Stowe. I have written a book that I believe will be of great interest to you. Why should you even consider a book written by me. Well, let me share with you some of my credentials. I was raised in a Swedish Baptist church in Joliet, Illinois, Bethel Baptist Church. My mother ensured that I got to Sunday School every Sunday. I even received a 9-year pin for consistent attendance. At age 13 I was saved. My father was a carpenter and taught me good work ethics and the skills necessary to earn my education. My first degree was a BS in Mathematics from Illinois Institute of Technology. While there I was privileged to eat dinner in the new cafe. The motif was knotty pine with carved graffiti covering the walls. At the table at which I was eating, the wall read "Zeus Saves." I was shocked. But upon muse, realized that that is exactly what separates Christianity from all other religions. . . our God is a God of His Word! He gives us salvation we do not earn it. He tells us exactly how to communicate with Him in His Word. Since that time I have earned four doctorates and have presented, written, and authored over 50 papers and articles. I have written 3 books and hold a U. S. Patent. My early career focused upon scientific activities, learning how to investigate, evaluate, and present information without skewing the view by my beliefs. This book is written with that benefit to the reader. It is God's Word about how to communicate with Him. Every book has an intended audience. This book is no exception. It is for the Believer in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and as their Redeemer. The book is not filled with heart moving stories. It is not filled with personal examples of supernatural events. It simply presents the Word of God supporting each chapter heading. The first chapter clearly states the steps necessary to be in the intended audience for any who start to read the book and are not in the "group" intended. The book then goes on to investigate. Who are we in relationship to God? The book sites scripture to explain we are set apart by the Father when we believe and accept Jesus the Christ as our Savior, Redeemer, Lord, and Brother. He has made us free from all the power of Satan. Sixteen scriptures from 12 different books of the Bible state we are the sons of the Living God when we make Jesus the Lord of our life. There are only two families in the earth: Those who have made Jesus Lord of their lives, and those who have not. We are delivered from darkness and our identification is with the all powerful God and His Son, our brother. Every thought, word, and action gives allegiance to one or the other of the two families. We need to be careful to identify with the Righteousness of the Lord of Life. So, are you identifying with the fallen Adam in sin or with the resurrected righteousness through Jesus? Who is the High Priest over your house? From Your Lips to God's Ear answers with specific scriptures. An example of how you might pray a prayer of salvation is outlined. "What does 'Prayer' mean in God's Word?" is addressed. If we are going to pray to God, it would be wise for us to know what that really means. Tradition may or may not have it right. A look at some scholarly understanding of what the original words meant and the flavor of what the words were intended to convey is presented. The Authorized King James version of the verses in which the words are used is offered for the reader's convenience. For the rest of us, suffice it to say that prayer is a verbal communication or petition. We can praise God or say His words back to Him in a petition. Another chapter addresses Effective Prayer. There are ideas about prayer that are not scriptural. The book presents safeguards that God built into the prayer system, not to keep us out but to keep Satan from taking advantage of us. From Your Lips to God's Ear presents scriptures that show that by not
