Is mainstream evangelicalism contributing to the deceived, those who are traveling the wide path that leads to destruction? You may be surprised to find out that your favorite TV preacher, author, or local pastor is presenting another Jesus. So many are offering salvation void of self-denial, joyful suffering, and radical abandonment to His lordship. Unable to discern their deadly tactics, professing Christians remain content to travel the easy, more popular way. However, the few, by God's grace, enter the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13) through repentant faith in Christ alone. Having counted the cost, they love and treasure Jesus more than comfort, possessions, relationships, and their own lives. Willing to joyfully endure temporary suffering, these loyal and devoted followers continue on the narrow way looking forward to their future inheritance, resurrection, and a new heaven and earth. In an age of tolerance, bad theology, and pragmatic practices, this timely booklet is a must-read. Grieved over the deception of many, Chuck Hayes pleads with us all to sit down with a Bible in hand and soberly ask ourselves, "Which Way Are We Traveling?" .
Whether you are just beginning your journey into the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church or have long been a member but are looking for answers to your questions about the church, "I Need Answers" is for you. Although the answers are gathered from Church fathers and holy books, the style of writing provides clear answers to complicated questions. The past few years the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has seen her youth leaving in mass numbers. Why? Mainly because the youth cannot get understandable answers to their questions. The Church uses Amharic as its primary language and Ge'ez as the liturgical, preventing young people born in America from being able to understand the worship or teaching of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church.. Deacon Dawit Muluneh, who has traveled around the United States teaching and preaching during the last decade, has gathered the most frequently asked questions and provided answers in a way that can be understood by the youth. Each chapter focuses on a particular question, addressing central themes of Christianity and teaching about the uniqueness of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. It also addresses issues specific to young adults like spiritual dating and depression and more controversial issues like homosexuality in the context of the church.
Justin Campbell was an active, out-going, five-year-old boy with red hair and freckles. A scar running the length of his chest was the only indication that this happy little boy had been born with a congenital heart defect. Although he was only five, Justin already had two younger brothers and a little sister on the way. His young parents, Robert and Sheila Campbell, found great pleasure in caring for their growing family. But when Justin was left in a coma with severe brain damage from complications following open-heart surgery, his mother was left struggling to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. In this poignant story, Sheila recounts her struggle to make sense of the intense heartbreak and hardships that devastated their lives. Follow her in this journey of faith as God uses the handicaps of her young son to open her eyes to the handicaps that lay hidden in her own heart and, in the process, bring happiness and healing to a broken heart.

No fear? No anxiety? No heartache? No way! George Roger Lee is well aware that these are part of life-even for believers in Jesus Christ. In the author's no-nonsense manner Lee invites readers to grab a coffee and look at biblical characters as they are, real men who faced real challenges. Take Job, for instance. Family-wiped out. Health and vitality-gone. Friends, if you can call them that-spewing excessive, unhelpful advice. And how about Samson? The guy who could have taken on any heavyweight champ and beaten him without breaking a sweat reduced to a weak, blind captive. What about Saul of Tarsus? Well educated. Devote. Murderer. Yet, God comes on the scene and restores and blesses Job beyond measure; empowers Samson for one last feat of superhuman strength; knocks Saul down to raise him up as Paul the Apostle, whose influence changes lives to this day. Lee acknowledges that the challenges of life can be overwhelming. He knows firsthand what it's like to live from paycheck to paycheck. He has seen what recession does to business. And, even now, he feels the pain of lost loved ones. Life in the postmodern world isn't easy. Lee acknowledges there are times life feels like hanging onto that two ton rodeo bull, trying to endure those eight eternal seconds or hitting the wall of the marathon called Life. But even the strongest gale force winds aren't an excuse for giving up. Readers are challenged to learn from God's Word, wear out the knees of their blue jeans in prayer, and call on the Lord to provide the strength to win the race. Readers are reminded they aren't alone. Jesus does, indeed, love the working man.
Many people feel God is far removed from hearing or seeing their circumstances and He is not concerned about them. Such feelings or impressions are natural but totally contrary to what the Bible teaches in Luke's gospel.Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? And yet not one of them is forgotten before God. Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered.Do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7 NASB)Thus, God knows the exact number of hairs on our head, even though that count changes every day or two. So we can be confident God is not distant, but very close to us. He is waiting for us to turn to Him and trust Him with everything.Even feral (wild) or dumped cats have some of those same feelings. They struggle to survive in whatever territory they find themselves. In some parks near where I live, there were a number of feral cats. For years they had lived off the scraps on picnic tables and trashcans. But their world turned topsy-turvy when commercialization changes took place. A restaurant opened up and the nearby marina was remodeled, resulting in less food available around picnic areas. Those beautiful and resilient cats were slowly starving to death.As I observed the struggles of these feral cats on my prayer walks, I realized I couldn't change some difficult circumstances that my family was going through; but I could do something to help these cats. When I got involved in caring and rescuing the cats, a miraculous realization occurred. First Kings, chapter seventeen, describes a drought that had come on the land of Israel and how God provided for the prophet Elijah during that difficult time. God's provision of water was from the brook Cherith, and God's provision of bread and meat was from the ravens, twice a day. The divine realization in my soul was that I was experiencing my own drought in my heart. I realized I had some misconceptions about God and His ways. God used the cats I was caring for to care for me in this difficult time just as He used the ravens with Elijah. I felt as though the feral cats ministered to me more than I helped them.As I became acquainted with each cat, their unique purr, and their special story that covers many years, I was inspired to write about them. Bible truths and principles that adults and children could identify with became obvious so I knew I must capture them on paper. Each true story is related briefly without a lot of needless detail so the reader can identify and understand the unique biblical perspectives and principles throughout the book. The story is always told from the perspective of a cat. Biblical references are not used in the stories, but they can be found in the prologue. In addition, there are colorful illustrations of the actual cats drawn by Jeanne Mack (www.jeanmackart.com) capturing the unique essence of each cat's personality. Special thanks to Jeanne for her passion for cats and her God-given abilities for painting them.The overall intent of this book is to encourage individuals that God never wastes time or our experiences. Everything that has happened to us throughout our entire life is for our good and the good of others. God promises to work out every situation, good or bad, for our benefit and His honor and glory (Romans 8:28).
