If I Were a Demon
"Real... Relevant... Revolutionary !!! This book is a spiritual survival tool for all born again Christians!" (Dennis Kerr, Pastor, Covenant City Church, Jamaica, W.I.) The wisdom to be gleaned from this book will save your lives - pure and simple. We have been seeing the impact of Satan's activities on the earth but we have yet to understand the why? If I were a Demon shows us that nothing just happens by accident. There is a lucid and hellish plan set out and kept in motion throughout the earth, running counter to God's plans and purposes for mankind. Dedicated To All Christian Leaders, Ministers and Theologians Who Are Presently Afraid To Confront The Reality of Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance. The fact that Satan has been displaced from heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15, Ezekiel 28:11-19, Luke 10:18) and now has free access on the earth implies that he is on a desperate and deliberate destruction - mission that is fueled by an eternal vendetta against Almighty God. As the earth experiences the fury of a "fallen star", its inhabitants are being buffeted on every side, enticed with deceptive temptations and bombarded by evil thoughts and destructive desires, producing an increasingly perverse generation and a morally depraved world. As long as we are spiritually malnourished morally porous (or holey ... not holy) and lacking in integrity, then we have effectively disqualified ourselves from ever hoping to become victorious in our battle against the destructive powers of darkness. Isn't it about time that the people who know their God should take hold of their spiritual authority in Jesus' name, confront that old dragon, expose his devices, crush the head of every serpent and scorpion, and militantly demolish his kingdom? I believe it is high time for this comprehensive attack ... and won't you also join me (a little later on in time) in that long-awaited victory march? I'm on the winning side. What about you?

Cooked on the Outside, Raw on the Inside
In Cooked on the Outside, Raw on the Inside, Ken Bosket gives us a unique view of our quest to understand God's timing. How long do we have to wait and how much do we have to endure? To answer the question, Bosket uses culinary analogies: God is the Head Chef preparing a meal for us, and the appetizers, soup, salad, entr矇es, and desserts are all part of our spiritual journey.We must learn to be patient when waiting on responses from God. Microwaved dishes and fast food simply will not do. Appetizers and salads temporarily satisfy our hunger until the main course arrives, as the trials and pitfalls we encounter in our daily lives are mere precursors to victorious destiny. Great cuisine cannot be rushed, and neither can we take a shortcut to a rich and fulfilling relationship with God.Bosket's tone is lighthearted and fun, but his message is serious: We need to take our time in our spiritual lives and carefully know the promises of God as we await the entr矇e. Then we can be content with knowing that God is in control.

Poems for the Heart of God
It seems I am best at expressing my love for the Lord through music and poetry, and so out of that longing came the desire to pen "Poems for the Heart of God." I wanted to share something that gave me great joy and encouragement, with others. I wanted to write something that would implant a seed and inspire communication with our Master, especially as we begin our day. Oh, how important is a moment with Him before we step out into the fast-paced world we live in today!"Poems for the Heart of God" is a 366-day (including leap year) devotional with a scripture reading from His word, accompanied by a six-line poem for each day of the year. It is written in a way to receive from Him through scripture and a way to give back to Him in a personal heartfelt way. Each poem was written from my heart to His heart, acknowledging His love and care, as a Good Father, every day of life. Many like to look up their birthdays, their anniversaries, and other special days to see what God may have to say to them on that day. It is a daily seed planter of encouragement for my family and me to help us get off to a good start for the day. I pray it will be the same for you.

Un-frazzle and Re-dazzle

Or living life with a long crabby face as a result of the inner heart issues and spreading that around instead? Personally I walked a million miles with a sour heart and that story will unfold through the pages of this book as I describe inner transformation that is possible for all of us. Perhaps like me you have lived grumpy too. In some way or other, we are all exerting some sort of effect, good or bad, often without realising it...in positive or less-than-positive ways. When we smile, when we encourage or when we feel low, we're impacting others in some way. Creating ripples! If we take time to develop our inner well-being then we can build and inspire to bring life to others as we outwork what God originally intended. We were created at this time and place for a purpose to influence well. Here are some of the daily issues we women face: Caring for families. Women are generally the carers for both the children and older family members; Hormones--when some of us might be a nightmare to live with; Being busy--filling many roles with limited time to fulfill them; Multi-focussed--juggling home, work and the whole world. Today's young women have more to negotiate than their mothers did at the same age. As a result, our ripples may not extend in good ways due to a lack of fresh flowing input and time from our Maker. This book has been written to help you discover what you need to become a world changer and a beautiful influence in the process. We will journey together, trekking into what may seem uncertain territory. At times the expedition will probably feel unfamiliar and foreign. But I assure you the destination is magnificent.

But will you trust me, take the plunge and begin? In the pages of this book we will travel on three journeys across three sections. Together, we'll move from crazy, stressed and frazzled lives to God-inspired peace in the first. In the second, we will dislodge some heavy, emotional baggage, to relocate to a place of un-frazzled freedom. And then lastly in the final section, we'll navigate from negative self-image or low self-esteem to confidence, purpose and a dazzling new you! Un-frazzled Peace-- Finding, accessing and remaining in God's peace whilst living in a crazy world; Un-frazzled Freedom-- Discovering and dealing with emotional baggage that creates personal and relational tension; Dazzling Influence -- Uncovering divine inner beauty and strength to outwardly shine the love of God. Open it at any section or chapter to get strategies for your situation if you are in the midst of a crisis needing immediate solutions. But if you prefer systematic reading, you can start from the beginning, processing each section step by step. Like me, do you desire to touch lives wherever we are placed with whatever is in our hand to use? With unique gifts, talents, smiles, friendliness, love, money, time? I pray through my words you dig deep to unearth the ​you ​God intends you to be.

Typically, books on discernment and vocation are reserved for the priesthood or religious life. What about engineers, construction workers, doctors, or accountants? Does every person not long to have confidence in making such an important life decision? Or perhaps you have been in a career for 15 years and have always wondered, is this part of God's plan? In The Path of Discernment, the reader will be presented with a new way of looking at God's will. As we will see, it is less about making the "right" decision and more about responding to the grace which God offers us at every moment, in every situation. The book accomplishes this by looking inward at the passions, skills, and longing which God has planted deep within our hearts. Pulling in some of the tried-and-true methods to discerning God's voice, the reader will develop a deeper trust in the Lord's presence, ultimately realizing God's will has nothing to do with their job. Rather, it is the basic Christian calling to receive God's love and return it. This can be done regardless of our nine-to-five job. Yet, God knows us better than we do ourselves. It is with this supreme knowledge we are called down a particular path toward genuine happiness and fullness of life. To discover this hope, let's begin the journey! "At any given moment during the year or any occasion in our ordinary lives, we can discover hope in the path God has laid out for each of us.... The Path of Discernment offers us a chance to start that journey right now, whether it's during the holidays, in the quiet of a sanctuary, or on an ordinary day in any season. Now is the moment that we can start along the path God offers us." --from the foreword "Regardless of your vocation, we must all discern where God is calling us. Whether you are a lawyer, artist, banker, or seminarian, putting time and effort into discerning your vocation brings more joy to your life." --from the introduction Matt Kresich is an international speaker, author, and retreat leader. His professional ministry has encompassed youth, young adults, evangelization, and pastor coaching. +

Revelatory Body
Argues that theology can respond faithfully to the living God only by paying due attention to human bodily experience Scripture points to the human body and lived experience as the preeminent arena of God's continuing revelation in the world, says Luke Timothy Johnson. Attentively discerning the manifestations of God's Spirit in and through the body is essential for theology to recover its nature as an inductive art rather than -- as traditionally conceived -- a deductive science. Willingness to risk engaging actual human situations -- as opposed to abstract conceptualizations of those situations -- is required of the theologian, Johnson argues. He celebrates the intimations of divine presence and power in such human experiences as play, pain, pleasure, work, and aging, showing how theology can respond faithfully to the living God only by paying due attention to human bodily experience.

Demonic Spirits Destroying America
Throughout history, satanic influence has played a central role in the downfall of nations. These demonic forces, Baalim, Astartes, Pythonic, and Kundalini, have infiltrated societies from ancient times to the modern era. Once embedded, these spirits are difficult to remove, but through repentance, prayer, and a revived church, their power can be diminished.The Bible clearly documents the ongoing struggle between the one true God and pagan deities such as Baal and Ashtoreth. This was more than a religious or cultural clash. It was a high-stakes spiritual confrontation that revealed the deep influence of demonic forces on entire societies. Ancient Israel, though chosen and in covenant with God, was not immune to these spiritual threats. That same battle continues today as modern nations face similar forces in what many recognize as part of ongoing end-time spiritual warfare.Satan's attack on America became especially evident in the early 1800s. The church had grown weak, losing its ability to influence culture. Chief Justice John Marshall lamented the lack of spiritual impact. Schools once founded to train ministers fell into spiritual apathy. Mock communion services, ridicule of Christian students, and the rise of liberal ideologies reflected a nation in moral crisis. Simultaneously, alcohol abuse tore at the fabric of families and communities.This pattern echoes throughout history. When the church fails in its mission, darkness gains ground. The future of any nation-especially America-depends on its spiritual condition. A strong Christian response to liberalism, a renewed commitment to truth, and the restoration of the church's role in culture are essential.Bible prophecy concerning America is unfolding in real time. The question remains: will the moral decline continue, or will there be a revival? The outcome depends on the prayers of the saints and the church's willingness to stand in spiritual authority against the forces seeking to destroy them.

What They Didn't Tell Us about Masturbation
SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT MASTURBATION ... ANYWAY? "What They Didn%u2019t Tell Us About Masturbation" contends that there is much more to this delicate, sensitive subject than is usually presented in the mass media %u2026 and so confidently articulated by our enlightened, broad-minded %u201Cprofessionals%u201D. Our Church leaders and Christian educators are often divided on this controversial subject and so either provide conflicting, confusing theories or often choose to remain conveniently silent%u2026as though by ignoring this reality, it will somehow, mysteriously disappear from our lives. One of the greatest stumbling blocks in our present, permissive, promiscuous world is that we often function with a shortsightedness that prevents us from seeing beyond the natural realm. We are, therefore, tempted like Lot%u2019s wife in Genesis 19:26 or the Rich Fool in Luke 12:15-21 to keep focusing on the perishable pleasures of this world instead of pursuing those things of lasting value, which have no expiry date. How you respond to truth %u2026 of whatever kind, will definitely reveal the condition of your heart, the degree of your integrity and the authenticity of your convictions. You could discretely close the covers of this book and resort to %u201Cwhat they told you about masturbation%u201D, and no one would ever know that you had read this little book. The verdict is definitely yours.

As such, Dispensationalism provides a philosophy of Biblical history.Our interpretation of BIblical history with use the word dispensation in three related ways: First, dispensation refers to the management God exercises in salvation history.Second, it refers to human partners in God's plan, called to be stewards of what God reveals to them.Third, it refers to economies of God's management of the stewards, called dispensations.In A Dispensational Biblical Theology, Dr. Elliott Johnson takes the reader through the story of the whole Bible, showing how each part fits into the greater whole.
The Bible and Ethics

The One Way
In an age shaped by religious pluralism and philosophical relativism, Christianity's claim to be uniquely true is often dismissed as narrow, outdated, or culturally conditioned. The One Way confronts this dismissal directly, asking a question modern discourse prefers to avoid: if all religions seek God, on what grounds can Christianity claim that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone?Matthew Sardon approaches this question through philosophical reasoning, theological analysis, and historical reflection. Rather than comparing religious systems at the level of ethics or spiritual experience, the book examines the deeper metaphysical and anthropological problem common to all religions: the rupture between the finite human person and the infinite God. Sardon argues that while many traditions offer moral insight or spiritual aspiration, none resolve this rupture at its root.At the center of the book is a sustained examination of the Incarnation. Christianity's uniqueness, Sardon contends, does not rest on superior teaching but on an unprecedented claim: that God Himself entered history, assumed human nature, and acted decisively to heal sin and conquer death. No prophet, philosopher, or spiritual guide can accomplish what only the Creator can-bridge eternity and time, heaven and earth, God and humanity.Written with scholarly restraint and theological depth, The One Way presents a reasoned defense of Christianity's central confession: that truth is not merely something to be sought, but Someone who revealed Himself. For readers seeking a serious, intellectually grounded account of why Christianity insists on Christ as the definitive revelation of God, this work offers a clear and uncompromising case.
What Really Happened At Nicaea?
Myth, History, and the Council That Shaped Christianity For over 1,700 years, the Council of Nicaea (AD 325) has been burdened with claims that refuse to die. That Emperor Constantine invented the Trinity. That the divinity of Jesus was decided by political vote. That the Bible was assembled to suit imperial power. That Christianity reshaped itself by absorbing pagan ideas. This book subjects those claims to serious historical scrutiny. Drawing on early Christian sources, conciliar records, and modern scholarship, Luke J. Wilson guides readers into the real world of fourth-century Christianity. He explores why Nicaea was called, what theological questions were genuinely at stake, how the bishops understood Scripture and doctrine long before the council met, and what the creed was actually intended to protect. Nicaea emerges here not as a moment of invention or corruption, but as a moment of clarification-rooted in beliefs already preached, worshipped, and defended under persecution. The result is a clearer picture of how early Christians understood Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit, and why those convictions mattered enough to fight for. Written for both sceptics and believers, What Really Happened at Nicaea? is an accessible, carefully researched guide for anyone who wants to move beyond internet myths and encounter the council on its own historical terms.
