Our Lord Jesus Christ told us how to get ready for His second coming. He wants us to prepare as if we knew that a thief was coming to break into our home to rob our property. This is an apt illustration when you consider that at His coming He will "steal" away all those who have trusted Him as their personal Lord and Savior. In 1/20th of a second (i.e. in the blink of an eye), Christians all over the world will disappear, and, along with the dead in Christ who will be raised with immortal bodies, be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. And forever they will live, rule, and reign with Him.But how does preparing for a thief relate to living our Christian life? "Like a Thief In The Night" answers that question in many practical areas like watching and waiting; locking the windows and doors; taking inventory of our household goods; changing our locks; turning on the outside lights; getting a weapon ready; and having an escape plan. It also shows how the "Thief" becomes our Judge, Bridegroom, Commander-in-Chief, King, and our eternal residence Builder.Some skeptics will say, "Doesn't every generation think the Second Coming is near?" That was probably done by God's design. The Lord wants us to be living representations of His sacrificial love in every generation. So He wants us to live our lives, look forward, and prepare to meet Him at any moment. Having said that, we know there is a generation that will, indeed, be alive when He returns. And it appears more and more certain from the signs of the times that we may be that very generation.

Knowledge has expanded faster in the last fifty years than in all of man's existence. Yet, with all of our scientific and technological accomplishments as well as our financial prosperity, we have senseless murders, rapes, kidnapping, thefts, and other catastrophic cruel crimes - even children are murdering other children. People are dismayed and frustrated as they run the race of life. Our intelligence and prosperity can't help us. Our television and radio programs, movies, and music, which usually reflect the attitudes, values, and morality of our day, are mainly about psychic phenomenon, killing, illicit sex, and investigating worlds beyond in outer space. These show how far we have gone "off track" outside the boundaries set by our loving heavenly Father to find life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Man is following man instead of following Christ. Man's progress hasn't given men and women a solid track to run upon or a course to guide them through the tragedy, darkness, uncertainty, and frustration. This seems to be the age of deception Run The Race of Life - The Real Way describes the life of Lenny Livright, along with principles and application to show what the Christian life is all about. It provides the boundaries and course markers to help us stay on the solid, narrow track to the real abundant life. It clearly describes the goal and finish line of that life as well as what we should expect when we stand or run for Christ? It teaches the believer that with trust in God, and in His Word, we will finish the race victoriously

"Getting Around in Christian Circles" is a guide to church life: a guide to salvation and spiritual gifts, a guide to Christian ethics, and a glossary of the lingo used in Christian circles. It also provides advice for recognizing and avoiding abuses in the church. (Christian)

Christians struggle with maintaining peace and unity. What are the causes of division within the Body of Christ? Jesus said that in the last days the love of many would grow cold because iniquity will abound. Unsuspecting, unprepared Christians, who should be making disciples, are licking their wounds and wandering around looking for their perception of a real New Testament home church - only to be disillusioned again and again! Satan and his demons come as "angels of light" - messengers of truth - that appeal to man's weaknesses and lusts. They ambush otherwise sincere Christians by the attraction of position, prosperity, power, popularity, potential, and prestige. These people then become like "wolves in sheep's clothing" to other Christians. But Jesus said, ." whosoever will save his life will lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." (Matthew 16:25). He also said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13). Ambushed is written with the hope of changing the course of "shifting saints" from a desperate search for the right church to the passionate pursuit of making disciples. It's also written to help Christians understand important truths about living and leading in Christ's likeness and avoiding the enemy's snares - to escape the ambush and entrapment caused by the unseen powers of darkness. Our Lord never intended that His Church helplessly stand idle while Christians are needlessly persecuted from within. Jim Biscardi's heart, as a Christian leader and teacher, is inexorably connected to this struggle. He shares his knowledge of God's Word and actual examples of destructive confrontations from his 33years of Christian experience. Members of the Church must stop hurting one another. We can no longer just pass by our wounded brothers and sisters who have been ambushed along the Jericho Road!

"The Holy Spirit's prompting was like fire in my bones, I had to share it or burst." That's what Jim Biscardi said about producing this book. "Fire in the Soul" is a collection of articles he's written over the last three years for two monthly Christian newspapers in the New York metro area. It also contains excerpts from his other four books. Jim is President of New Jersey Christian Ministries, which for nearly 50 years, with hundreds of instructors, has been a vibrant teaching arm of the Body of Christ, equipping thousands of Christians for making disciples. This book inspires, educates, and challenges us in six major areas: Faith, The Church, Our Spiritual Life, Wounds from Within, Our Future Heavenly Home, and Study of God's Word. It also gives us an in depth topical index for researching 80 other important subject areas. "Fire in the Soul" is literally saturated with Scripture along with metaphors that make deep thoughts easier to understand and remember. Jim uses such things as "spiritual vitamins" to describe how God transforms us, the "valupak" of Christ's values to describe Christlikeness, riding a bicycle to describe the Christian life, and much more.

Everyone wonders about what will be in their future. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us the answer about 2000 years ago. He commanded the Apostle John to "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.&qu The diligent reader of the Book is awed by Christ's person, grace, and power. As the Lamb of God, it demonstrates His desire that none should perish - leaving a powerful witness for those left behind after the rapture. As the Head of the Church What's In Your Future? offers a suggested sequence that places events in chronological order, and that also groups symbols together that are reiterating and adding detail to similar events - thus reducing or eliminating repetition. This results i We also gather together scriptures from other parts of God's Word that confirm and add meaning and understanding to the various parts of Revelation. Finally, we have added author insights that will bring perspective and also (we trust) glorify t About the Author(s): Jim Biscardi is President of New Jersey Christian Ministries, Inc.
