What does the Bible have to say about human illness, death and dying, and the existence of Heaven and hell in the afterlife? And, should it be surprising that the Biblical instruction on those topics differs greatly from the Old Testament to the New Testament? This work emphasizes the radical teachings of Jesus about death and Heaven, and how He gave new hope and promise to each of our lives. Death and dying are common occurrences in the Bible, from literally the days of Adam and Eve to the time of Jesus. This work examines the evolution of Biblical thought about death, dying, Heaven and hell. The reader will study whether Old Testament man had a strong concept of the existence of Heaven and hell in the afterlife. There is an emphasis on the arrival of Jesus and His teachings, and how our Lord and Savior dramatically brought the new promises of Resurrection and an afterlife in Heaven to His believers. The work studies the history of blood sacrifice in the Bible, the radical, new teachings of Jesus during His Ministry as to the existence of an afterlife in Heaven, and the necessity for Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. The work ends in an uplifting crescendo of a study of the Resurrection of Jesus and the reality of what eternity in Heaven will be like for believers in Jesus Christ. This is a great read for the holiday seasons, or for anyone who wants to closely examine the topics of death, dying, and Heaven as they are outlined in the Bible.

All good Christmas stories end at the cross and the first Easter, and the same adult shepherd follows the ministry of Jesus, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and Pentecost. This work employs humor, memorable characters, Biblical history, Scripture, and a salvation message to narrate the first Christmas, and the life and mission of Jesus.

Our Bible is full of stories of love, lust and passion in regard to the sex lives and antics of some of the main characters. Indeed, the sex lives and passions of the occupants of the Bible rival any modern soap opera plot- incest, polygamy, adultery, and love triangles. The Bible also contains a book of steamy erotic poetry. But, God also gave men and women Laws and Commandments about how to behave sexually and in marriage. The teachings of Jesus are full of these Laws and Commandments about sex and marriage, and the apostle Paul buttressed those same instructions from our Lord and Savior. The final mystery of the Bible is God's use of sexual imagery and metaphors to describe the end times and our eternity in Heaven with Him. Love, Lust, and Passion is an entertaining and thought provoking tour of everything you always wanted to know about sex- in the Bible.

Troubles and conflict can teach us lessons and strengthen us as individuals. The Bible provides fantastic examples of how to deal with the problems of life by analyzing the lives of its leading characters. If you have problems, conflict, and too many challenges in your life, this is the book for you.

The Shroud of Turin- the burial cloth of Jesus! Or is it? A scientific research team returns to Turin to again examine the iconic Shroud of Turin.

Lute's plan unfolds against the backdrop of a run for President of the United States. This novel combines elements of spirituality, religion, redemption, suspense, and humor.

The author, a retired attorney who practiced law for nearly forty years, explains Probate and estate planning from a decidedly Biblical perspective. The Bible commands that we use our money, finances, and resources to give back to God and to bless others in doing so. The work encourages the reader to use his or her estate planning to further God's work in His kingdom on earth and for others. The book covers many topics in estate planning- Wills, Medical Directives, Powers of Attorney, and guarding against the Will Contest. But, there is an emphasis on how to avoid Probate Court involvement in Estates, and an in depth discussion of how to use survivorship ownership, payable upon death ownership,Living Trusts, and family LLCs to do so. The ramifications of federal and state taxation on Estates and decedents are also discussed- income tax, capital gains tax, federal and state Estate taxes, and the federal gift tax. The author also relates his personal war stories which involve humorous and sometimes weird situations which he encountered in his law practice dealing with Probate and estate planning topics. The book concludes with planning examples for different kinds of personal needs- Living Trusts, LLCs, special needs Trusts, grandchildren's Trusts, Medicaid qualification Trusts, and more. This is a must read for Christians as they devise their Estate plans, and for anyone else who wants to wisely plan their Estate.

Just in time for Mother's Day! The Bible is a fruitful source of references to and stories about women. But, are women treated as second class citizens in the pages of the Bible, and do these instances provide a real or tacit approval of such treatment of women by our God? Were women as depicted by the Bible only slaves and sinners, or were they some of the more noble characters of Scriptures? Just in time for Mother's Day! The Bible is very much a character study of human beings, revealing the lust, greed, impetuous, selfish, sexual, and impatient sides of God's people. At first glance, women may seem to be treated as second class citizens in the pages of Scripture, from the laws of Moses and the other laws of the Bible, to their treatment as a whole by society and their husbands and families. Eve is often blamed for the woes of mankind when she brought sin into the world with her bite of the forbidden fruit. The Biblical patriarchs Abraham, Jacob, and others fathered children with both their wives and their concubines, resulting in women being treated like sexual playthings. Property rights went to the male children of the family and not the female children. Bad things seemed to happen to heroes of the Bible when they encountered such scheming females as Potiphar's wife, and the lusty and diabolical Delilah. But, for every Potiphar's wife, Jezebel, and Delilah there are also noble distaff residents of the Bible- Ruth, Esther, the Queen of Sheba, the Virgin Mary, and Biblical sisters Mary and Martha. Were the female residents of the Bible only sinners and slaves, or were they really saints and people of noble character and behavior? This work explores all of the Women of the Bible in depth, and provides a fresh view of the female denizens of Scripture.

As the belief in God and the saving power of Jesus Christ seem to diminish in our world, the author gives in-depth reasons for his continuing faith in God and the saving power of Jesus. Topics include the reality of the existence of God, the inerrancy and validity of our Bible, the mechanics and power of prayer, the Bibleas the source of solution and comfort amidst life's problems and turmoils, the fact that God's laws and commandments bring order to our human lives, and the reality of the existence of Satan as our opponent and adversary. The book briefly covers such hot social topics as homosexuality, gay marriage, and transgender issues. The conclusion of the book discusses in depth the necessity in the Old Testament for blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins, the role of Jesus in comingto live on Earth as the Son of God, the death of Jesus as the final and complete sacrifice for our sins, and the promise and certainty of eternal life in Heaven for believers. Evangelistic in scope, the work concludes with an invitation to believe in God, and to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This book is intended for seekers of God and new Christians, but would also serve as a refreshing reminder and encouragement for veteranChristians.
