If you are seeking a book that goes beyond first principles, this book is for you. If you are seeking a devotional book that not only inspires but also teaches deeper truth regarding Godly living, this book is for you. In his book, "Seeking God's Truth in a Troubled World" Richard covers a plethora of subjects from fear, anxiety, forgiveness, prayer, plus many other pertinent subjects. As you read this, you will realize Godly change results when we surrender completely to God. And once we are surrendered, and the old nature is crucified, we begin walking in the Spirit and Christlikeness ensues. Carl E. RobertsRetired Pharmacist/Sunday School TeacherI loved this book! Richard has taken a very honest and direct approach in showing us what Jesus did, as well as what He tells us to do.The premise of the book is based on a solid foundation of Scripture which should not be debated. He also addresses the provisions in which God has given to us that enable us to live holy and Godly lives. Maybe just importantly Richard shows us ways in which we are to love Jesus.These are 36 powerful chapters in which Jesus is brought to bear in all of them. I see this book in light of the Kingdom of God. Kingdom is a word that is rarely used by the church today, yet Jesus used it all the time. If we are true believers we understand that we are living in the Kingdom now and not in some distant future when we die. Richard has brought honesty and clarity to the Scriptures contained in the 36 chapters of this book. These are passages that represent well the wisdom of Jesus in the Scriptures.Jerry TrousdalePast President Final CommandAuthor, "Miraculous Movements" and "The Kingdom Unleashed"I couldn't put the book down. Thank you for being so transparent. It is a book that I wanted to race through, getting more and more excited with each page. I found myself saying "ouch" every few pages. (But it is an "ouch" with hope and inspiration attached by the Holy Spirit that "yes, you can do this, with my help"). Now, I just want to take each devotional slowly, perhaps over several days or more, and ponder and pray, and live it out in obedience. Richard's book is so refreshing, and very encouraging. He carries the heart of God. It is written in a very conversational style, like he is sitting down and talking to you across the kitchen table. May it draw thirsty people from all walks and stages of life, and give them a long, cool, drink of living water they won't forget.Marty and Elaine MattocksDMM practitioners and trainersAsia Highland Partners, Board AdvisorsThe author shares from his lifelong passion and dedication to serving our Almighty God. In this revealing account of a life lived out through Jesus Christ, you will be challenged to explore the depth of God's power available to all of us. Richard shares from his own lifetime of experience just how deep in God's love we can all live. The truths of these devotionals about God's grace should be proclaimed to the ends of the earth.Robert Reid, RetiredSMSGT, USAF

What do rocks, pink balls, and a nap have in common? Each is an ordinary object/event that points to a deeper spiritual truth. Yet we are often blind to the spiritual realities hidden in our every day. GLORY in Disguise: Seeing God in Our Every Day unveils to the reader how God's presence and life-giving power, His glory, are often hidden in the ordinariness of our lives on this earth. Each reflection sets up the pattern for the book - a Scripture, followed by a story/illustration from everyday life, leading into scriptural application and encouragement. Each concludes with a poem (written by Penny Mandeville), a prayer, and suggestions for journaling.

Debra wrote poems on subjects that inspired her. This book also reflects remaining Bible Story Poems, Poems of Psalms along with Drama - World's Playground.

Seizing upon the beauty of the rainbow, this small book dazzles with the promises of God. Each colorful band invites the reader to ponder a sacred vow of the Lord. In a constantly changing world, we can find peace in God's faithfulness that never changes. Vibrant hues deliver deep imprints as we visualize and meditate on the comforting benefit of these assurances. Through illustrations, simplicity, and soul-warming contemplations, Paula reveals the assigned purpose of the rainbow-God's reminder of His commitment to us. "I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of My covenant with you and with all the earth" (Genesis 9:13). This colorful book boldly proclaims that even though storms will come, there is no stopping the rainbow, and there is no stopping God's promises.

When the disciples said to Jesus, as recorded in Luke 11:1, "Lord, teach us to pray," they were, for once, asking for the right thing...Anyone who tries to take up his cross and follow Jesus and does not learn how to pray is like a towing company that tries to move stalled cars with bicycles and ropes. If we rely on nothing but human power, the life Jesus calls us to is impossible.On his or her own, not even the most stable, most healthy, most intelligent and most determined person can do it. Only as we are intimately connected with God through prayer will we find the forgiveness, strength, inspiration and direction needed to live the life Jesus described and expected of his followers. Prayer is not the only thing needed by disciples. It is just the most important thing... Much needs to happen in us and in our world, and it all starts with prayer. So we come to God and say, "Lord, teach us to pray."

The main theme of this 90 day devotional on the book of Exodus is worship. To worship is to honor with love and submission. Worship is a matter of the heart expressed through a lifestyle of praising him. Worship is (but is more than) singing, clapping, and raising hands. Worship is a lifelong commitment to follow our Lord. Worship is for everyday life.This devotional puts an emphasis on worship in giving the reader ideas for different ways to worship. For example, the first devotional is on immigrants/ illegal aliens. Reading this may spur you as an activist to seek justice for those who are unwanted, providing for them with hospitality. As a person of prayer you may intercede for the immigrants that you know personally.The format of this devotional is set so that you, your family, or small group can read a portion of Exodus and/or a related scripture followed by a suggested worship format. The worship may be a prayer, music, an activity, or a piece of art to view. It may be a concept to study or a phrase to contemplate. Try out the different formats, listen to the Lord, and learn new ways to worship.

Long before the manger in Bethlehem, beginning with the writings of Moses and the prophets, God began to reveal the greatest promise to humanity- to defeat sin through the sacrificial mission of his Son. These Christmastime contemplations focus on the coming of Jesus Christ, and we hope the reflections may help you know God's promised Messiah.Perhaps you know well not only the old familiar story of Christmas, but also the grand saga of Scripture and how Christmas fits into God's eternal purposes for humanity. To this group of readers, our prayer is that our God would use these short daily devotional thoughts to tune our hearts to greater praise, adoration, and worship of his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. May this book be an encouragement to live for the glory of Christ, and a help to you in sharing the glorious gospel of our risen Savior and proclaiming the coming of his heavenly kingdom to this earth.

Love of nature, love of the Word of God, and the relevance of both in our daily lives is what these meditations seek to demonstrate. Bird life and drama are reflected on as during the year the seasons change around the vernal pool.Since early days as a youth at camp, Virginia Reynolds Williams has enjoyed observing and writing about nature. But it wasn't until college that she began noticing the tree decorations that danced around and sang to her.With a job as a librarian that technology is taking over and changing from the way she was originally trained to do things,escaping into nature has become a welcome relief. The birds don't need to be taken care of like books; they are waterproof and can take care of themselves.Virginia lives in Redding, California, with her husband and works as librarian at Shasta Bible College and Graduate School, which is right beside the vernal pool about which she writes.
