How to Negotiate the Crucibles of Life not Somehow but Triumphantly

Graeme Cross is well travelled and well experienced in issues of life. He has a genuine belief that many of the experiences he has gone through during his life have not been by chance but by design in preparation for what is contained within the pages of this book. On commencing this writing, all Graeme knew was that he was being required by God to share some of his learnings from his experiences of life. He had no plan as to give it a title, theme or content but was simply open to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every aspect. There are aspects of content that have come as a revelation to Graeme with the interweaving of certain events in his life only becoming apparent in the writing. The overall end result has been truly a surprise to Graeme himself and has once again demonstrated what is possible when one opens themselves up to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Graeme has a desire to see every individual enter into a relationship with God and experience the fullness of what that relationship has to offer, especially in the difficult times that come and believes that this book is inspired by God to this end.

God's Day of Salvation

“Then the Lord God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever’—therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.” From Genesis 3.

We were shut out of the garden of Eden; lost the right to the tree of life; were cursed to painful toil (men); were cursed to painful childbearing (women); and became innately disobedient to the God who created us.

The problem is serious, but the solution is wonderful. It centres on the person Jesus Christ, who will as the Bible describes redeem us from our fallen state and restore our right to the tree of life – and to eternal life. This book unpacks what the Old and New Testaments say about God’s day of salvation.

Finding the Way Through Water

Finding the Way Through Water explores how water contributes to our understanding of the created world and our Christian beliefs. As an emeritus professor and an ordained priest in the Church of England, Roland K Price explores how water features in the Bible. Important at creation, water brings about global catastrophe, enables escape from slavery, ensures survival in the wilderness, prepares people for worship, and sustains warriors and exiles. Jesus turns water into wine, walks on water, stills the storm, has his feet washed with a woman’s tears, and washes his own disciples’ feet.

You will be surprised by the extent to which water pervades God’s story in the Bible, and how an understanding of the management of water today can make this story available to all. Prepare to be challenged whether you are a water professional or a Christian wanting to know more about God’s world today.

Culture: The Great Escape

Humanity has long sought to answer the big questions, like who are we and where are we going? It is possible that some of these questions are actually too big to be tackled by the rational mind. Religions claim to have the answer, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to believe in them. If you don’t believe in religious answers, you have a rather more complex answer to the problems of existence. Among other things, there arises the question of why so many people do believe in religions and a rather smaller number of people find it difficult or impossible to accept religious tenets. This seems to be a neurological problem, even a psychiatric one. What is the answer?

The preceding book in this series, ‘The Unreasonable Silence of the World’ provided one interpretation of the available evidence in relation to the unique survival of Homo sapiens out of a wide variety of hominid forms following our departure from the primate line approximately seven million years ago. The remarkable invention of mythologies occurred about 100,000 years ago, dominated human belief and social systems until the present day, and was probably mainly responsible for that unique survival. Mythology achieved this dominance by creating a reality that relegated the real world to second place. ‘Culture: The Great Escape’ explores this departure - the escape - as it affects the modern world and considers how it is that science is often thought to be reducing these traditional avenues of escape.

Corona Virus: Is There a Word from the Lord?

The current pandemic (Covid-19) has left many wondering: ‘is there a word from the LORD?’  

The Psalms deal with features of everyday life from pain and suffering, fear and failure, through to victorious success and prosperity. Understanding the Bible, especially Psalm 119, is essential to making sense of living in the aftermath of the Corona Virus. This alphabetical Psalm deals with the blessing known by following after God’s ways, recognising the temporal world and reflecting upon eternity. Its central message points to the promised Messiah – The Lord Jesus Christ, who is the fulfilment of the Psalm and urges all mankind to wholly trust in Him for salvation.

Christian Experiences & Spiritual Growth

Christian Experiences & Spiritual Growth addresses the search for satisfaction with heart and soul happiness. God and being a Christian are seen as its sources. The book defines who is a Christian and how to become one. It dodges none of the trials and temptations in the Christian life but explains how that God as Father, Jesus as Saviour and the Holy Spirit as Guide, Teacher and Comforter, constantly help towards victory, growth, and maturity. Prayer, reading and obeying God’s Word have a pivotal role in the experiences of satisfaction and happiness and the truth that every Christian has a home in heaven is cheering.  

Readers will gain spiritual knowledge and be able to correct erroneous practice as they read through the book with the Bible alongside, paying attention to the scriptural references on subject areas, put suggestions into practice appropriately and grow spiritually. Reading the book over many sittings will be more profitable than attempting to rush through it. I have employed an explanatory strategy for ease of understanding. For example, I have explained the meaning of some words, phrases, and terms in the body of the book and set out comparative tables to illustrate narratives in the text. These can be used for quick references and reminders.

Choose Life

Choose Life is a remarkable book about God’s glory and grace that culminates to a crescendo that is vividly expressed in Ephesians 3:

Are you ready to make a choice?

• Whom do you choose?
• What is your purpose in life?
• What is your vision concerning others?

Wendy Govender provides you these stimulating, motivating and astounding messages to progress and sustain your walk and talk with Jesus. The question is: do you want to change?

Choices

Genesis 3 in the Bible describes the events that led to man’s fall from grace and into a broken world. This scripture describes how the devil (the serpent) influenced the first instance in which man chose to disobey God. In doing so, man fell from grace and effectively gave his dominion of this Earth away to the devil.

We make many choices daily; we do not, however, consider the implications of these choices. Just as the devil influenced man’s first wrong choice in Eden, he continues today to orchestrate events in each of our lives intending to push us further away from God and closer to eternal damnation.

This is a tale of an individual who learnt through grace the implications of his choices and received an opportunity to turn away from certain death.

“The good shepherd will always seek after a lost sheep.”

Bronze Statue on Blue: Heaven Awaits You

* Compelling, scientific evidence for the existence of heaven and hell to which we are ultimately consigned

* Effortless, step-by-step guide for a more abundant life, here on earth, and eternal life in heaven

* You don’t have to be ‘gold’ to get to the top

* Absolutely unmissable

In this beautifully written, persuasive book, Harry Aslan deals with the central, compelling, controversial questions that have occupied ordinary men and women as well as theologians throughout the centuries: Does God exist? Are heaven and hell real? Is Christianity the only path to salvation? The whole spectrum of human relationships. The compatibility of religion and science. Starting with the most palatable truths, Harry Aslan progresses to the highest pinnacles of faith, arguing the issues from both sides. A number of tongue-in-cheek, real-life anecdotes provide some light relief. This is no mere ‘armchair’ work, but a meticulously researched, fully comprehensive treatise that leaves no stones unturned.
An absolute must for any reader, irrespective of his or her faith or creed.

Blue Baby

Where is God when calamity comes? If God is all powerful why does He allow our loved ones to suffer? When wading through hopelessness, these questions overwhelm many of us. This is the account of my own wrestling with similar agonies of the soul when I was told that my child was dying.

Jacob was diagnosed at the age of 1 with a severe congenital heart defect that was so complex it was deemed untreatable. In desperation I reached out to God after previously neglecting my relationship with Him. I had wandered into passivity, but God was waiting to comfort, strengthen and renew my faith.

This book documents Jacob’s journey through years of surgery, defying this prognosis. It also chronicles my struggle through perplexing seasons of pain, learning how a good God uses suffering for our growth, making us mature, fruitful followers. It is in the darkest times I have learnt to fear less and trust more, making me confident in His faithfulness. God did not answer my prayers for instant healing, but what He allowed in my life worked for my good.  I try to capture the way God tenderly ministered to me during those times in order to encourage others to hold fast to Him. I hope to spur on those ready to give up, to overcome and look for the shards of light that can be found in seasons of darkness.

Beyond the Clouds

Man cannot even imagine how much God loves us. We think we can live without Him and our life will go well. This is not true. We really need God, the helping angels and spirit guides. They tell us where people are spoiling it and how to fix it.

Death should not cause fear in us. After death, everything goes on and if we learn to consciously connect with our spirit guides, our lives could be much easier with our angels.

Sofia Simon writes about her own story, when she first got connected to her personal helpers, and how she found out what her purpose in life is. Sofia has a God-given ability, whoever gets in contact with her gets easier connection to their higher intelligence or spirit guides. She believe that her book has the same affection. Everybody has a special ability, they just forgot to use it. Sofia wishes to give everyone a consciousness of life.

Beyond Belief – Faith That Works

“If the gospel changes everything, why is there so little change in my life? Why do I struggle so much with sins that are debilitating, those that knock the wind out of me and deplete me emotionally? Where can I find hope to experience the freeing beauty of following Jesus?”

Many Christians are frustrated over the disconnect between faith and lifestyle. Beyond Belief bridges the gaping chasm between belief and behavior. In so doing it exposes the short-circuits in how we view what the gospel is and how it practically changes us.

If you are looking for a faith that works, especially in daily living, Beyond Belief is for you. As you apply the principles in Beyond Belief those around you will notice the change. And so will you.
