Christianity as well as Christians need to change.  The early church was called Christians because their behavior was not like society, now people call themselves Christian and the world can’t tell them apart from those who aren’t.  This world needs change. Each of needs change.  We are a spirit that has a soul living in a body.  This life we have is a just a temporary journey.  Yet the only part of us we feed on a constant basis is our body.  We feel a hunger deep inside and we think it will be fulfilled with things, food, drugs, or sex and when it doesn’t we do more of what is not working.  This must change.

 The world was changed forever by Christ time on this earth and that change was spread throughout the world by twelve men.  Now we speak of missions and yet we do not share the gospel with our own neighbor.

 The Way is the ideal book for those that are seeking “something” but don’t know what. It is also ideal for those that want to grow in their faith and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Let The Way
mold and shape you so you can mold and shape your family, your church, your town, your country, and even the world.  Read The Way and have your life changed forever.

“Whenever people try to explain God’s Word and apply it to our lives as Shelly Sorem has in her new devotional book, we have an opportunity to look into their lives and examine their own walk with God. As you read insights from a fellow traveler along the spiritual journey road, know that Shelly shares her heart and her Lord with you as we all journey together towards Christ-likeness. Those who take these insights and challenges and ingest them fully will find their lives looking more and more like Jesus every day. “

Today’s culture is overscheduled, typically characterized by short attention spans. We want to compress our lives into small, bite-sized pieces. Taking this approach with Jesus can draw us into a relationship that becomes the focus of our delight. Eventually, our desire for true life is whetted by brief meetings with Jesus. The longer we spend with Him, the more His divinely radioactive life infuses ours with the power of an endless life. The irony of the book title is that five minutes with Jesus is never enough. Five Minutes with Jesus presents a daily devotional that focuses on meeting with Jesus in ways that may be new to some Christians. Each day, author Randal Wiedemann takes a look at a different aspect of Jesus, the most discussed person in history. Wiedemann focuses on how to live the Christian faith with delight, depth, meaning, compassion, and joy. You will discover and be reminded that this is only possible when Jesus Christ lives in and through us. Five Minutes with Jesus is about spending quality time with God. For those who know Jesus, it is a joy to go to that secret inner place of the heart and meet with Him. For those who do not, there may be a vague sense of looking for something. You may not know what it is you are looking for, but when you find it, don’t be surprised if it’s Jesus.

Are the sorrows and disappointments of life swallowing you up? If your Christian journey has become boring and you’re wondering if God even notices you, then it’s time to ask the Lord to escort you down a new road of holy adventure.

Full of encouragement and inspiration, Until the Day Breaks and the Shadows Flee is a devotional trilogy that will challenge your faith, resuscitate your hope, and surround you in the loving embrace of your Heavenly Father.

Christine delivers spiritual truths that are drinks of cool, refreshing water to the spirit, certain to quench the thirst created by life’s tangles and frustrations. Whether you’re struggling to keep running the race of life, need a strong dose of hope to get you through the day, or simply want to bask in the glorious love that Jesus has for you, Christine has a devotion for you. Uplifting Bible verses, thoughtful prayers, and inspiring photographs will lift you above the fray and let you feel His breath of life coming into your soul.

Stretch Marks: Devotions for the Not-So-Perfect Woman chronicles the life of an ordinary woman who bemoans advancing age and making blunders on a daily basis. The hope is, as she reveals her imperfections, other women will see God can use all women to bring glory to His name:

Women who may be a few pounds (or more) over their ideal weight.

Women whose homes are not likely to be compared to Martha Stewart’s home.

Women who put meals on the table that aren’t anywhere near what Rachael Ray dishes up in thirty minutes. If you’re put off by the aluminum pan that the lasagna was baked in being the centerpiece at the dinner table, best have dinner with someone else.

Women whose marriages aren’t perfect and neither are their kids (ask anybody in the neighborhood).

Devotions can be an effective way to study the Bible and enhance your faith. But how do you find the passages to study, and how do you find the passages for those special occasions when you want—or need—an extra boost.

In 130 Biblical Devotions, author C. Keith Mee presents a collection of devotions centered on Scripture. To help readers find what they’re looking for, the devotions are divided into categories, including beliefs or doctrines, the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, fruit of the spirit, and holidays. Mee includes illustrations from his own life and experience. After each devotion, there is space for the reader’s own thoughts, questions, or even disagreements.

This collection seeks to help those involved in group Bible study and individuals who seek personal Bible study. The lessons are brief, so they do not require a commitment of hours to learn more about faith and the Bible. Whether used for general Bible study or to find inspiration when at a crossroads, 130 Biblical Devotions can serve as a trusted guide.

Enjoy these short daily devotional gems, set in delightfully poetic form that will make you smile and encourage your heart on the journey Home.
