Can you imagine thumbing through your daily mail and finding a
letter from Jesus Christ? Not a prank, not a hoax, but the genuine
article - a letter from heaven, from the risen Lord, written
personally to you and your church. If hearing from God sounds
intriguing, then this little book is for you. Several decades after
His death, burial, resurrection and ascension, Jesus revealed
Himself, in a vision from heaven, to the apostle John. Jesus
directed John to write as He dictated seven letters to seven
communities of faith scattered around Asia Minor. These personal
notes are found in Revelation chapters two and three. In Sincerely,
Jesus we will look at the amazing relevance each letter holds for
life in the twenty-first century. All Jesus asks of us is to read
with a listening heart and a willingness to make the adjustments,
both in our personal lives, and in our churches, that the Holy
Spirit prescribes.
Almond Grove, California is home to the growing Community Chapel
Church and their charismatic young pastor, Madison Enright. Madison
and his newlywed bride, Jill, moved to the struggling church right
out of college and, after sixteen years of dedication, had forged
it into one of the most exciting, fastest growing churches in the
Bay Area. Madison had it all, but successfull ministry has a way of
introducing temptations into life that can undo even the greatest
among us. An old friend, Dave Bean, himself trying to discover the
meaning of life and his purpose in the world, comes alongside
Madison at his point of greatest need. But will Madison be able to
confide in his best friend, or will he try to manage his own demons
without the support of those closest to him. In Both Ways Edward
Goble looks into the heart and life of a local minister, a position
he held for many years, and brings to life a story that is full of
humor, heartache, madness and grace.
The organizational arrows of the Western Church all point in. We
have become so accustomed to focusing our ministry efforts
internally that we are no longer culturally relevant. We have left
the shaping of the culture to an irreligious society that is happy
to watch us spend God's resources on sprawling campuses and
programming while they quietly shape the culture and remove God's
name from public discourse.
In Less of Me, we meet Andrew Boyd, a Bay Area author riding a
string of best selling spy novels featuring a retired Senior
Intelligence Officer, Rance Broadback, who now serves the country
as a top secret General Contractor, a spy / private investigator
with both the highest security clearance and the highest daily
rate. Andy is under pressure to deliver the first draft of the next
Broadback thriller, set in the mountains of eastern Kentucky
entitled, Appalachian Malady. But Andrew Boyd is hurting. His
weight is at an all time high and his self image is at the other
end of the spectrum. He is depressed, and, as he describes in his
daily blog, he has even considered what the world might be like
with one less novelist. Take a personal journey of discovery with
Andrew Boyd and, along the way, look over his shoulder to read the
entire text of the first draft of Appalachian Malady as it comes to
life on the screen of his iBook.
