JOURNEYS FROM HERE TO ETERNITY
is available on Amazon.com
and Leadership Books

Explore the lives of 21 biblical figures who embark on personal journeys that ultimately changed the world, climaxing with the life of Jesus Christ. This book will inspire you to fulfill your life’s journeys through the power and purposes of God.EXCERPT
from Chapter 1 (Abraham)
We all have different tastes. A great adventure to one is terrifying, boring, or just plain weird to another. God wants to meet each of us where we are and journey with us to the most wonderful places we can imagine. It may be "destination unknown" to you now, but the adventure -- and the
blessing -- is waiting. For anyone who trusts God enough to obey, even when the roadmap seems blank, bleak or blurry,
God has exciting plans -- the adventure of a lifetime.
That's what Abraham's story is all about: trust God to lead you to the best place He most wants you to be, and revel in the excitement! In fact, the journey itself is pure adventure. If you trust God enough to obey Him, He will bless your life with exciting journeys, wonderful places and fascinating opportunities. The Lord knows your destination (He chose it). Your faithful trust and obedience will change
the entire trajectory of your life!

BEING LIKE JESUS is now available on Amazon.com
and LeadershipBooks.com.

BEING LIKE JESUS offers 100 concise, incisive essays, in eight themed chapters. They help readers take on more and more of the image and likeness of Jesus. We do that surrounded by a world intent on amassing more power, wealth, and notoriety. BEING LIKE JESUS offers genuine hope for success, satisfaction, and a God–centered purpose.EXCERPT from Day 46, "Will You be My Neighbor?"Recognizing, acknowledging, understanding and discussing your feelings will help safeguard you from feeling all alone. Rev. Fred Rogers, known in TV land as "Mister Rogers," said that anything human can be mentioned, and anything mentioned can be managed, with the support of others. He asserted that talking about your feelings makes them less overwhelming and scary. Men have a (sometimes deserved) reputation for not talking about feelings. I get that. But why not give it a try?
Developing your relationships helps you deal with negative emotions before they damage you. God created us to live in relationships. It can be a God-ordained safeguard against mental, emotional and social paralysis.

• CATALOG OF “THE DEVIL’S LIES & GOD’S TRUTH”
• SATAN’S LIES VS. GOD’S TRUTH EXERCISESExcerpt from Day 25:
An atheist barber was cutting a Pastor’s hair. He asked, “If there is a loving God, how can He allow poverty, war, and suffering?”
At that moment a homeless man walked past the
barber shop. “You’re a good barber,” the pastor observed. “How can you allow that man to
be so sloppy, shaggy and unshaven?” “He never
gave me a chance!” the barber exclaimed.
“Exactly. People are what they are – and life is
what it is – because they never gave God a chance!”
Let’s crank up the temperature with a scalding issue that’s fundamental to human life. WHY DOES SIN EVEN EXIST? Why is it possible to refuse to love God–and others? The Bible is clear—God created humankind sinless, then Satan lied and Grampaw Adam and
Grannie Eve believed his lie and rebelled.
They wanted more “freedom!”
The sin nature was not created by God; it was introduced into the world by Satan and carried forward by Adam and his children, all the way down to us! Logic proves that God had to give humanity the choice “to sin, or not to sin! To love, or not to love!” God created humankind with the potential to love our Creator.
That means there also must be the potential to
reject God, and to discard His love for us.
Some people argue that God should never have made sin possible—didn’t He know how that would turn out? I’m guessing our omniscient Creator foresaw the future and was heartbroken, but not surprised, after Adam rebelled. But if God had made rebellion impossible, then there could have been no such thing as loving God. Try this experiment: Tell your spouse, parent, child or close friend that they have
no choice – they HAVE to love you!
Good luck with that.
