Following a long pastorate and 27 years of writing and hosting daily radio and television vignettes, this book presents a compilation of broadcast scripts and columns written by the author. The book contains 366 daily devotional readings, each being 150 to 300 words in length. Every reading is dated and titled and are down-to-earth, verse insights related to life circumstances and are always linked to a Biblical reference which is applicable. With each reading, there is a brief prayer, worded to relate to the day’s devotional thought. The daily entries are not arranged in groups of topics, but each day presents its own theme. Often the subject matter relates to the season of the year in which it appears or to certain events typical to the season.

Taking the Word to Heart

By Nancy Taylor

 

More than a decade ago, Nancy Taylor made a commitment to memorize one verse of scripture a week for 52 weeks, with the goal of quoting all 52 verses at the conclusion of that year.  Never could she have conceived what God had in store for her through this simple commitment to hide His Word in her heart. 

In addition to allowing her to experience a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ, memorizing scripture has provided Nancy with many opportunities to minister to those who are weary or brokenhearted.

Taking the Word to Heart guides readers through five essential, yet practical, steps to not only memorizing scripture, but to grip it tightly enough to cause life transformation. Readers will discover that the purpose of memorizing scripture is not for discipline sake only, but for gaining a greater knowledge of God, developing an obedient heart and a life of trust in God through practically living out the hidden Word. 

If you are tired of living a defeated Christian life, Taking the Word to Heart will help you grow in your relationship with God, better understand the Bible and learn how to apply it practically to your life. 

 

Unfulfilled longing for a child can feel like an impossible weight to bear. Infertile women and couples can feel hopeless and angry.  They ask, “Why God? Why won’t you send us a baby?” But there is hope and true encouragement, and it starts with the Word of God.

 

Surviving Infertility: What the Bible Says about Your Baby Hunger is a compassionate guide through the tangle of emotions and struggles faced by the infertile couple.  Using Scripture as a standard, infertile couples can overcome jealousy of other women’s pregnancies, build faith during times of waiting, and find peace in the face of overpowering anxiety. You will gain new strength from a true study of God's Word, which will shepherd you through the monthly, weekly, daily and hourly struggle with infertility.  If you are consumed with baby hunger, it’s time to hunger for God and what the Bible says about your struggle.  Complete with Leader's Guides and "A Little Lagniappe" (extras for those who want to dive deeper into God's Word),  Surviving Infertility is perfect for individual study, couples study or Infertility Support Groups.

With gentle humor, the Reverend Meade broaches topics throughout Scripture with an evangelist’s heart, a scholar’s insight, and a grandfather’s tender touch. His heart ached to see souls saved and lives mended. But, even further, his passion was to see Christians fulfilling their place in God’s plan. Lawrence A. Meade was our “Papa.” His life spanned the changes of both world wars and Vietnam, yet he shook the hands of Civil War veterans. In the days when the Rev. Meade preached, people were worried about impending war, financial problems, cultural changes, and the uncertain future. The same things concern people today. Yet because he stood fast on the timeless truths of Scripture, his words are as much for today as they were for yesterday, and they will be as much for tomorrow as they are for today. Gleaned from a lifetime of Christian service, these daily devotions will challenge and encourage, uplift and promote real growth. Each day’s devotion is conveniently laid out in a two page format with a key verse, an expanded suggested reading, a meditation, and a prayer. The meditations provide profound insight deep enough for long-time Christians, plain enough for new believers and challenging for everyone. Classic Christianity is suitable not only for personal or family devotions, but also for teachers, bible study leaders, and pastors. An exceptional resource, Classic Christianity provides a foundation for spiritual growth for all who are searching to walk closely with the Lord.

Building a Bridge, One Prayer at a Time is an extension of a Bible study group that started on a bridge outside author Tini Sider’s office. She and her coworkers began bridging the gap for others through prayer, forming the Bridge Prayer Group. This spiritual guide shares weekly devotions that will enhance your relationship with Christ as a result of spending time with Him each week, helping you to become a bridge builder, as well. Because these devotions are the result of the author’s stream of consciousness as she ponders what God has shown her during the week, they may appear to be somewhat random in nature. Presented in a casual, relaxed format, they can be read as if you are having a conversation with a friend; make yourself comfortable in sharing your thoughts with God through prayer. You can also write your thoughts and prayers as you meditate on His Word, and, most importantly, try to put into action the things the Holy Spirit brings to your mind as you study Build bridges and allow God to change your life—you will never regret it.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          Take an exciting trip of reading the chapters of the Bible through in one year.          With an investment of about 15 minutes each day, with the guidance of a seven ribbon marker and by the power of the Holy Spirit, you can begin to see words of the Old Testament and the New Testament meld into a single message from the eternal God of the universe.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          The black ribbon traces the effect of sin on the human race by reading Genesis through II Chronicles.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          The blue ribbon traces the stories of the true blue messengers of God to try to turn His people back to Himself through the books of Ezra through Job, Ecclesiastes through the Old Testament prophets, and Revelation chapters 4-22.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          The white ribbon leads us to see the cleansing power of God found in the book of Psalms in four month intervals.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          The silver ribbon highlights, in eight or so verse daily readings, the value of the guidance found in the Word of God.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          The gold ribbon gives us valuable guidance for daily living on a monthly basis.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          The red ribbon traces the gospel of Jesus Christ by His ministry, His death on the cross for our sin, His resurrection and early church history in Acts and the first three chapters of Revelation.  This is done in four month intervals.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          The green ribbon is a four month plan of growth through the doctrinal books of the Bible.

< p > & n b s p ; & nbsp;          My prayer is that we begin a continuous plan to read through the Bible each year by this guide to allow God to speak to us as never before through His Word.
