"Is God Calling You to Ministry?" seeks to answer the question that title asks. If you find that you answer that question in the affirmative, then you need to know how to access the actualization of your destiny. Jesus said to, "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations." He did not say, "converts," He said "disciples." God has so ordained His Church that there was to be a program of discipleship that empowers the Christian through training, equipping, and transference of anointing to proclaim and defend his or her faith. Every Christian is called to go through this process. The only way to realize the fulfillment of one's destiny is to follow the instructions Jesus had for His church. If we evade discipleship and then think that we will somehow finish our course, we are deluding ourselves. We define what true discipleship and mentoring are so that we can bring this process back to the church and produce leaders that walk in integrity for the next generation.

His message contains gem-like multi-levels of understanding and timeless truths, which heal believers.

THIS BOOK WILL HELP CHURCHES GET & STAY ORGANIZED. THEN WATCH GROWTH

Everyone knows that Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Is it possible that they have misunderstood the entire concept of the Messiah and his function in God's spiritual economy? Passages such as Isaiah 53 and Zechariah 13 are viewed as messianic by the Church but has the Church misused them to point to a confused portrait of a man that shouldn't have applied for the position? Is the New Testament an accurate picture of the events surrounding the times of Jesus or, is it fiction? As a former Christian of 25 years and son of a Southern Baptist minister, James entered a Messianic Jewish congregation to experience the teachings of the Messianic movement. Convinced something was terribly wrong, he left the movement and started studying to find the truth. After five years of intensive study and much prayer, James reveals in simple language how Christians have been lead down a path paved with deceit. Starting with the basics of Christianity, James then examines the "Messianic" prophecies that the gospel writers abused to point to Jesus, then the author dispels Christianity and uncovers the truth, beauty and simplicity of the Hebrew Bible. This book is written with two types of people in mind. First, for the Christian, in order to help them understand what they are dealing with when they try to make sense of Jesus and the New Testament. The second type of person, is the one who would like to learn how to defend their beliefs against the Christian missionary that uses the Hebrew Scriptures to promote their version of the messiah and their misplaced emphasis on him.

Grace Theological Institute series delves deeply into the Grace of God in all of its manifestations. There are five forms of grace. None of them can be ignored. To be fully equiped, all the five forms should be understood by believers and non-believers. Material Grace is the gift of matter and time to mankind. Matter and time are means of provision and resources for man to be managed. In this Tome, the origin and purpose of matter, time, and life are covered. Other theories on matter and life, such as Intelligent Design, the big bang, and evolution, are discussed. It is emphasized in this Tome 2 and in Tome 3 that consciousness is not a product of any biochemical process, but can be explained through quantum physics of life bosons. It is also shown that life existed before matter.

This book is a selection of essays and sermons from Meadville Lombard students, faculty and alumni/ae. From the Introduction: "Unitarian Universalism is a questioning faith. Hence it is appropriate that the title of this second Meadville Lombard Reader is, The Abiding Questions of a Free Church, taken from Alice Blair Wesley's essay contribution of the same title. This attitude of a questioning faith captures well the tenor of the essays and sermons chosen for inclusion in this volume. The essays and sermons that follow were selected from a wealth of submissions from the Meadville Lombard community."

This is a rewrite of the original book that was first published in 2010. The newer version contains issues and truths that some scholars won't agree with and which was not in the original book. This version fully explains how important the Holy Spirit is in our life. After the original book was published, Jesus through the Holy Spirit, said he was pleased with the book, but would like for the book to be rewritten by the author. The Holy Spirit told the author the that Jesus and God wanted the author to re-read and re-study the New Testament and re-write the book, with the authors interpretation and opinion. Jesus and God wanted all controversies, myths and contradictions confronted in the newer version, so the people know all truths. The book now contains what Jesus and God wanted and is based on facts in the New Testament and additional facts the Holy Spirit told the author to put in the book, along with the author's opinions after he re-studied the New Testament for over 2 years. This version contains the author's interpretation and opinions about-1-how important the Holy Spirt is in every person's life, every day-2- why God wrote the Commandments-3- Why Jesus was sent to earth - 4- Jesus' teachings, and happenening during Jesus' time on earth. The book contains truths and opinions on the following subjects-1-SEX-2-PRAYING-3- Who are True Believers in Jesus Christ-4- That Jesus wrote the 4 Gospels-5-Did Mary Magdalene and Jesus have a Personal Relationship-6-Can some sins can be forgiven-7-When will the World Ends-8-What happens to our spirit when we die-9-What will happen to Humans after the world ends-10-ETERNAL LIFE-11-Why does God limit who will live in his Kingdom-12-MIRACLES-13-CHILDREN and JESUS-14-ADULTERY-15- ABORTIONS-16-MONEY and POSSESSIONS-17-Same sex Marriage-18-Is humans life time on earth pre-determine-19-How Humans judging other humans, is wrong and againnst God's law -20-Giving to the poor. The book hones in on the subject of, Why Peter, one of Jesus' trusted Apostles never wrote a Gospel, The book explains, "The relationship Peter had with Jesus and how their relationship deteriorated in the end. The book contains the facts and opinions that God wanted in the book, so every person on earth will be able to decide between God and the Devil, regardin where they will spend eternity. God and Jesus wanted all controveries, myths and contradictions issues confronted and the book does that. Most religious scholars will say the author is wrong and he is a nut and he has no ideal what he is talking about, however each reader must decide that for themselves. After reading this book once, the reader will understand and know more about Jesus and God, than they will by going to church every Sunday for 10 years.

"Strugglebook: A Logical Search for the Truth of GOD" explores the probability for the existence of God based primarily on the logic derived from science. While it addresses issues applicable to theology, it is not a theological work. There are literally hundreds of books on this subject, most detailing a standard set of arguments. This book follows that pattern for the first part but then extends itself into a series of coalescing arguments built on the latest science, all of which results in a unique presentation on the subject. Forming a conclusion respecting the reality of God on something as cold as logic is contrary to approaches generally considered acceptable to religious organizations that favor perhaps more ephemeral means based on redemption and faith. Those approaches based on other than logic have proven very successful for many individuals. That notwithstanding, the author is representative of that very large group of people who live in environments replete with corporate missions, budget building and spreadsheets, strength, weakness, opportunity and threat exercises, performance yields, compensation management, management by objective, measuring outcomes, and mini-MBA courses. The resulting objectivity built through vocation, results for many individuals, including the author, in a need to question the rationale behind faith and God. This book is the record of a search for the reality of God consistent with satisfying the needs dictated by the logic often demanded by the modern mind. Do world and personal events result in a questioning of your faith? Do you wonder about a God that could allow 9/11 or the deaths of tens of thousands in a cyclone? Have you watched as someone you love suffers, and as a result, questioned the very existence of God? Have the truths of modern science served to displace your belief in God? Does your working life consumed with spreadsheets, schedules, logical analysis, objectives, investment returns, getting the job done on time, and all the other appendages of working life impose an atmosphere that works against belief in God? Do you feel unsure about sharing your beliefs with others because you may be ridiculed? Have you been exposed to the views of Richard Dawkins through his book The God Delusion, or other well known atheists who attempt seemingly with some success to use science to prove God doesn't exist and in so doing, relegate your beliefs as unworthy? These questions and situations imposed themselves on the author of this book, an educator and computer application designer who decided to take a year out of his life and find the answers. This book chronicles his search for the truth of God. Calling on history and using the very latest scientific knowledge, coupled with related philosophy, and sometimes delivered somewhat irreverently, the book delves into the issues, presenting positive and dissenting views respecting the existence of God and then argues the case from the data presented. The reader shares the full rationale for decisions made.

To everyone who has ever laid in bed wondering about life after death, or the existence of God.

For all of us, reaching out for any tiny piece of evidence to corroborate our beliefs, or strengthen our doubts. For everyone undergoing a serious illness at home, or in the hospital, or are nearing the end of our journey, and now reside in a hospice, or nursing home. For all of us crying out for some sense to our suffering, this book may offer some relief.

This book is not meant to be an academic study, but a source of hope, a comforting perspective, and a reassurance of the existence of God.

It is my presumption that the actual orders of creation are very similar. In fact when compared to any other religious beliefs, Genesis is the closest in description, to the actual scientific order of creation we know today.

This book is an informal look at the origins of life on this planet, looking at science and Genesis.

The question is simple. Does the Book of Genesis, written thousands of years ago, accurately describe the chronological Order of Creation on this planet?

Is this coincidence, or divine inspiration?

In this 3 series of Unspoken Sermons, George MacDonald states his theological views and among other things. The work itself is a Christian classic spoken of highly by C.S. Lewis. In his introduction to George MacDonald: An Anthology, C. S. Lewis wrote of MacDonald's theology: "This collection, as I have said, was designed not to revive MacDonald's literary reputation but to spread his religious teaching. Hence most of my extracts are taken from the three volumes of "Unspoken Sermons." My own debt to this book is almost as great as one man can owe to another: and nearly all serious inquirers to whom I have introduced it acknowledge that it has given them great help-sometimes indispensable help toward the very acceptance of the Christian faith." Never one to shy away from a difficulty, MacDonald explores some of the most challenging and perplexing passages in the Gospels, each time rising to newer heights in his elucidation of the mysteries of Gods Love.
