Unhinged is a book about my personal testimonies of overcoming illness and finding my identity in Christ. Your identity is not who you think you are but rather who you are in Christ. This book highlights how to know if you are living in religion or if you are living based on a relationship with Christ as your Savior. Unhinged also answers the question why we have to go through the things we do in life.

Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." He also taught us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." Oftentimes bread is available to us and in our possession, but we can't decide what to eat. Bible reading can sometimes be like that. Our appetites constantly change, and we need and enjoy variety in our spiritual diet. In I'm Trying to Help Somebody, Rodrick A. Smith wants to provide a balanced diet of daily spiritual nourishment. These daily devotions serve as a source of encouragement, inspiration, warning, and rebuke; that's the variety. They are expositional, practical, and portable. One devotional is written from each chapter of John's gospel through the book of Revelation. Prayerfully read and be helped. I'm Trying to Help Somebody is an inspiring read for Bible enthusiasts on every level. To have these carefully written notes is valuable to the shelves of every Christian's library.

When it comes to the Bible, questions can make us anxious.Questioning God or God's Word can feel like disloyalty; waiting for answers can feel like being forgotten.But what if our questions could be good for our faith? What if the solution to our doubts isn't fewer questions but more questions? Better questions? We tend to approach the Bible from a modern, Western perspective, but what we find in the Scriptures is an inspired conversation from a different time and place. Better questions come from the Bible out--from the vantage points of the people we meet in the pages of Scripture and the God who meets them where they are.In Asking Better Questions of the Bible, Marty Solomon points us to the beauty and wonder and hope contained in the Scriptures. God, we discover, invites our questions and can be trusted with our doubts. When we come to God and God's Word with curiosity, we leave satisfied and at the same time craving more as we discover a more profound understanding of what God is inviting us to become.
