SECOND EDITION - If you are trapped in an immoral relationship, bound by a damaging behavior, or just heading down a path of destruction, there is help... God still loves you, and He will give you the strength to change if you will return to Him. Counseling centers overflow with marriages splintered by infidelity, spouses addicted to pornography, and teenagers acting promiscuously. Yet, human sexuality is not wicked-God invented it. Unfortunately, fallen humans and society have warped it into something God never intended. While not immune from temptations, Christians can learn to live as God intended. In Courage to Flee, Dr. Jeffrey Klick presents the challenges of human sexuality from a Biblical perspective. He defines the struggles that play out in our minds and assault our senses. Using the Word of God, he succinctly explains how to avoid and overcome sexual temptation, escape the traps of immorality, and raise our children with positive values. He writes with humor, using personal anecdotes and specific tools to help anyone who is honestly trying to stay-or become-morally pure. Dr. Klick's message is one of hope. God is not appalled by failure. He loves us and understands our frailties. Victory over the world's temptations is possible for those who seek His answers. With help from Courage to Flee freedom can be gained and forgiveness through a mighty God will become a reality.

The Discipling Church is a practical application "disciple-making" guide that defines and clarifies how every Christian can become a true disciple of Jesus Christ. This text was prepared primarily for church leaders, but has been written in such a way so that it may "equip" every Christian and every Christ seeker. "Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ" (Dietrich Bonhoeffer). The Lord Jesus Christ is the very cornerstone of our faith. From the truth found in God's Word, we have purposefully embedded within the pages of this book the essential elements necessary to carry on the Great Commission of Jesus Christ - namely, to "Make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19, NIV)? We believe in the fact that the world and everything in it has been made by Him, for Him, through Him, and in Him. We take His words, His teachings, His attitudes and His commands as being that of the one true God of the universe - with nothing missing and nothing broken. Evangelism is that work of bringing people face to face with their need for and experiencing a new birth experience in Christ. Salvation, in its most narrow understanding, is a moment-in-time experience by a person of the new birth or conversion to Jesus Christ. At this point in time, the believer receives new life and is "born again" and experiences what the Bible calls, redemption, reconciliation, and justification. God immediately and suddenly brings transformation into his or her life. However, the reality of discipleship is the growth of that new life which comes after the moment of salvation. Discipleship is a lifelong process of applying the gospel and the truth of the Word of God into the believer's life, with the ultimate objective of becoming and being Christ-like every day. As you make your way through the Table of Contents, you will quickly discover that "The Discipling Church" is divided into two practical primary sections. Section One: A practical panoramic overview relative to the fundamental precepts of what discipleship is combined with why and how we, as Christians, must go and make disciples. This section was researched, developed, and written for those who are in church leadership, those who are the church (the Body of Christ), and those who are still Christ seekers. Section Two: An inspired collection of useful and timely discipleship tools, resources, and solutions. Upon reaching the completion of this book you will be equipped and have the necessary essentials to go forward with Jesus' Great Commission: to make disciples. All misconceptions, confusions, rationalizations, and objections will have been addressed leaving you, the reader and learner, with one all-important, eternal question: Will you obey? Prayerfully consider your answer for it has eternal ramifications.

Saints under Construction is a mentoring book but might be better described as a discipleship book. God designed the older, more experienced saints to instruct the younger ones in order to cover new ground and avoid old mistakes and previous pitfalls. One purpose of mentoring or discipling is to challenge the thought process of those that are following us (or in the case of a book, reading our words). We all think and we all act out those thoughts minute by minute as we walk through our day. But do our thoughts really line up with Scripture? Saturated with Biblical references, this book lays a multifaceted foundation to build a strong faith and life for Christ and help expand, renew and refine our thought process. From how to properly read and understand the Scripture, to wondering if Paul wore a toga, you will encounter many thought-provoking ideas and challenging concepts. As you read Saints under Construction, you will be drawn closer to Christ. The Christian life is a journey full of pleasure and pain, but God is our Father and the Master Craftsman and He does not make junk or mistakes. We are His handiwork, and God is not finished with us yet. We are a work in progress and He will complete it
