Great Commission Soul Winning & Discipleship
It would appear that most churches of today have lost touch with fulfilling the Great Commission. While soul-winning is a vital part of our mission, we seem to have lost sight of biblical discipleship and holy living. Many Christians simply do not know how to share their faith, much less disciple another Christian. This book was written to give ALL Christians a step-by-step look at what fulfilling the Great Commission should look like. It is best studied in a small group setting. However, it will also benefit couples, singles, or any individual that desires to have a foundational working knowledge of the Christian faith and fulfilling the Great Commission. Steve West, A native Texan who was born in Austin. Being raised on a farm just north of Austin, I know how to appreciate hard work and honest living. As a Christian husband, father, business owner, and Sunday School teacher, I have had many opportunities to share my faith. Friends and family wanted me to put my Sunday School materials in a book format so that many others could benefit as well. My prayer for this book is to provide people with practical evangelical and discipleship tools that will bless them and glorify the Lord.

Journeying Through the Seasons of Life
"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens" -Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) This Scripture is one that I hold very close to my heart... it speaks to me of the cycle of life. In it, God underlines the inevitability of change. Nothing will stay the same - the good or the bad. Everything has 'a season.' Life is full of seasons: some last longer than others, some are more difficult than others, and some we miss. Throughout this book, I will share with you some insights and reflections on the seasons that I have journeyed through, and that I have witnessed in those around me. Also, I will share spiritual enlightenment, Scripture readings, and information. Through my words, I hope that God will pour out His blessings upon you and upon anyone with whom you share them. I want to dedicate this book to my daughter Isabella without whose encouragement and foresight I would not have started writing. Also, to my husband Raymond for his constant loving support and wisdom-filled words.

The Making of Evangelical Spirituality
How did it come to be that evangelicals expect individualized, extrabiblical revelation from God? What has happened culturally, historically, and theologically to make this the ubiquitous assumption of evangelical spirituality? The Making of Evangelical Spirituality is a compound of history and theology applied to the subject of evangelical spirituality--specifically, the phenomenon of evangelicals thinking ""God spoke to me"" in a still, quiet voice. The story is complex, multifaceted, and urgently in need of telling. Few Christians know the history of the spiritual expectations heaped upon them. Few know the individuals who gave shape to evangelical spirituality, spiritual chieftains who were often guided by uniquely ephemeral, social, and cultural forces. There is no towering figure like Martin Luther that stands as the lone front man for the esoterica of evangelical spirituality. Instead, it's the osmosis of many fascinating people struggling through life in the storm of worldly and cultural momentum. This book is the story of those hermits, monks, reformers, heretics, politicians, outcasts, and preachers who gave shape. Failure to tell the story now risks it becoming just another part of historical compost, threatening to make evangelicals forever ignorant of what they are tossing into the garden of their soul.
Why the Bible Is so Hard to Understand ... and Tips to Understanding It
The Bible continues to be a source people turn to in their hunger for God. Yet, the Bible can be a challenging, confusing book to understand. In Why the Bible is So Hard to Understand...and tips to understanding it, author Steve Langford explores the challenges readers commonly encounter in reading the Bible. The first challenges Steve identifies are those found within how we naturally, unconsciously read the Bible. Then he addresses the Bible's nature as sixty-six different books written from an ancient, near-Eastern, pre-scientific perspective. He then offers a simple model of interpretation that guides the reader in unwrapping the spiritual truth from the human "wrapper" used to deliver it. The model is followed by guidelines for using it. Two bible studies are included, one of Jesus walking on the water that illustrates how to use the model and one from the life of Peter that outlines the process of spiritual growth that is prompted as we read the Bible. The book also offers guidelines for exercising spiritual discernment and for praying the Bible using the practice of lectio divina. It presents an outline of biblical history that helps the reader put each of the six-six books in its historical context. It ends with theological reflections on God's eternal redemptive purpose, the kingdom of God, and the church.
Parousia
PAROUSIA (, parousia) is a Greek term meaning 'presence' or 'arrival.' Because it is used as a technical term referring to the return of Christ in glory, its more immediate, existential impact is often overlooked. Presence restores the epiphanic power of Parousia, opening us to the Eternal Now of a divine Fulness (Plrma) that is not yet completely revealed. Presence is a simple, immediately accessible entr矇e into what metaphysicians and theologians call the Mystery of 'God.' Presence is not identical with 'God' - what is? Yet Presence is that sophianic handmaid of 'God' - Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) - who was 'created at the beginning of God's work' and who rejoices in God's created world and delights in the human race (Prv. 8:22- 31). Presence is the Sapientia of 'God', providing us with a taste of divine bliss otherwise inaccessible to the human heart (cf. 1 Cor. 2:9). I offer this book as an invitation for you to enter more deeply into the mystery of Presence where you may experience the Parousia of God.

The Love of Being Loving
The Love of Being Loving is about awakening and expanding our spiritual consciousness. It is also a personal journey. However, that which is elevating for a single consciousness is also elevating for human consciousness as a whole. There are no secrets. God withholds nothing. Yet, it is only by our sincere searching, the evolutionary stage we have reached, and the grace of God that we come into contact with spiritual pathways and teachers that are right for us at any particular time. Love and Devotion is a 2-book nonfiction series. A grand and magnificent truth radiates from within all of life and each of us. May you discover in your heart a sweet lightness, the luminescent glow of God's beauty, and a genuine appreciation for the wonderful gift of life, which glows unmarred through every human error. We are loved by the Divine, loved into existence. That, in itself, is enough to reassure each one of us of our inestimable worth.
Influential Women
I had two experiences of my courage and perseverance which caused me to value the potential and power that is within me. And how my influence can change lives and situations in my environment. After many diligent observation of my influence, I desired to write this book "The Power Of Women Influence." To help women discover their potential and redirect their perspective in life, and to find their destiny in God who made them with a special purpose. I do want to admonish women to emulate my courage and perseverance to achieve their goal in whatsoever they aspire to accomplish in life."Women are special to God. He created them with a divine purpose. A man was incomplete without a woman. God said it is not good for the man to be alone so God made him a helpmate his good thing. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor of the Lord (pro. 18:22 "Although it is said that this is a man's world but without a woman or a girl it would be void".
The Love of Devotion
Devotion is not a reaching, but a return.In The Love of Devotion, Donna Goddard takes us beyond seeking and into surrender-into the stillness that heals, the love that asks nothing, and the beauty that quietly underlies all things.This is a book for those who are drawn to the subtle light of the sacred. It is for those who long not to possess God, but to dissolve into God.With lyrical insight and deep spiritual presence, the book invites us into communion with the soul-where healing, clarity, and joy arise not from effort, but from letting go.A companion for mystics, healers, and anyone longing to live from the inner sanctuary of truth.
Rejoice in Hope
"Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope." (1 Pet. 3:15)Do you want to go heaven? This is the most important question we need to ask ourselves. Is getting to heaven our single-most important priority in life? Today, the signs indicate we are in a spiritual recession. The fervor of faith is cooling. Many have separated themselves from God, the true source of life, deprived of his life-giving mercy. The landscape has become increasingly bleak as people lose hope, giving into the spirit of the age. We are teetering on spiritual bankruptcy. To thrive in a spiritual recession, we must grow rich in what matters to God, striving for a life of holiness, obedient to the commandments of Jesus Christ, relying on divine grace, and seeking knowledge from above. This means focusing our efforts on that which matters most: Getting to heaven. We must regain the Art of Spiritual Life in which, even in the midst of spiritual poverty, we can find peace and joy, the abundant life that God wishes for us. Heaven is our true home, where there will be no pain, sorrow, or mourning. Are we building up the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts, investing in our future? Or are storing up treasures on earth that moth and decay will destroy? Where do we want our final destiny to be?
Galatians
NEXT TO ROMANS, NO OTHER WRITING has impacted the shape of reformed theology more than Paul's letter to the Galatians. So important was the letter that Luther affectionately referred to it as his Katie von Bora - the name of his wife, stating that in some ways he was married to the letter as well. Like Romans, Galatians is rooted in Paul's conviction that through the resurrection of Jesus, God's new creation has burst in upon the old with redeeming power and vindication for those made part of Christ's body by faith. Unlike Romans however, Galatians isn't primarily an exposition on the gospel or how we get saved. Rather, what is really at issue is the inclusion of all people in the single, multi-ethnic family of God. Who is in and who is out? Who belongs? And on what basis? These are the real issues being debated by the churches to whom Paul is writing. Paul's answer is that men and women are made part of the community of Christ by faith alone and not works of the Law. Followers of Jesus, no matter what their ethnic or moral background is, are incorporated into the family of God by the grace and action of God alone, and not by outward marks of Jewish identity. In Galatians: A Commentary, pastor and author Marc Simon offers a verse by verse exposition of Galatians which is at once accessible to scholars, pastors, and students alike.
Reflections of Me
"Reflections of Me- Living Life Experiences" is a collection of short stories written in poetry style. It is written as narrative poetry. Narrative poetry is one of the most common poetic forms. This poetic form is very much like a novel. Narrative poetry includes a series of events, including actions and dialogues. It uses a number of poetic methods such as rhyme, meter, and rhyming scheme. Usually, a narrative poem has a single speaker who is known as the narrator. The narrator recites the entire story from beginning to end. I am the narrator of these short stories/poems. The short stories in this narrative poetry are about life experiences such as; looking in the mirror, self-image, blind fate, family reunions, "isms" of the world, friendships, my way of thinking, testing the trials of life, communications, betrayal, beware of the snares, math problems of everyday life, "As Is" and more of life experiences that everyone can relate to at some point and time in their past, as they look in the mirror and reflect upon their life. These are some of the short stories/poems titles that you will find inside this book.

A Blues Man’s Blues
A Blues Man's Blues: Poems on Love, Sex and Revolution is a collection of poetry by Rev. Dr. Majadi Baruti, Griot, Priest, Poet, and Goddess Devotee. His poetry illuminates his understanding of love, his devotion to the Divine Feminine, the sacredness of sexuality, and his revolutionary consciousness. This collection is on three subjects he covers in much of his poetry. The title of the work, A Blues Man's Blues: Poems on Love, Sex, and Revolution, gives reverence to Dr. Baruti's Great Grandfather, the late Blues Guitarist and singer, Johnny Shines.
Promotion of Devotion
The first edition of The Promotion of Devotion: Religion, Culture, and Communication pioneered the nexus of spirituality and public relations, exploring religious-spiritual tourism and church-state partnerships; devotional-promotional campaigning; sports and religion; and art and the promotion of devotion. It provided readers with an A-list look at Elvis Presley, Princess Diana, and other celebrity "saints," fans and their love for Smokey Bear and superstar racehorse Barbaro, and cultural phenoms Marilyn Monroe and Pharaoh Tutankhamun. In this revised second edition, the author revisits some of these topics with updates, expands others, and ventures into new territory. New chapters explore the death of Argentinian "soccer god" Diego Maradona, the resurrection of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris following extensive fire damage, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic upon worship and social media. Underscoring the important and influential nature of spirituality in society and exploring the many ways in which communication and faith intersect, The Promotion of Devotion is an ideal text for courses and programs in communication, religion, international studies, and culture.
If It Had Not Been For The Lord
Just when you think that Jesus is not there or just doesn't hear your prayers; he is & he does! Just like was, is, and always will be on my side and there for me. Just when you think he's not watching or doesn't care; he is & does! God Be To Glory! Just when you think that he has let you down or made you frown; he ultimately is not the one, so don't blame God or be mad at him. Behind every cloudy storm that passes in your life, there is a silver lining because the Lord is just that surreal! God is omnipresence, so Greater is he (Jesus) that's in me, than he (Satan) that's in the world! This is the Day that the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it. Bless me indeed Lord; Amen and Thank You Father! Let my past failures help you to overcome your tribulations so that you too can receive the blessings that God has waiting for you. As a matter of fact, ask the Lord to help you to be obedient so that his blessings may fall down upon you. Go ahead and walk on through your fears because it's time that you stop letting the devil beat you down; but rather, it's time to beat him back and beat him down forever by taking back everything he has stolen from you, such as your joy, health, hurt, loss, emptiness, loneliness, faith, love etc. You don't have to cry anymore unless it's tears of joy because I can take you to my dearest and nearest friend (Jesus) indeed; you can trust him to be your bridge to safety in any kind of troubling waters.

Return to Masada
Separated from the mountain range by two deep gorges, Masada was a natural fortress. In 66 CE, during the Jewish Revolt against the Romans, Masada was captured by a small group of Jews. In 72 CE, however, the Roman General Silva decided to put an end to even the tiniest pockets of resistance against Rome. With an army ten to fifteen thousand, he began the siege of Masada. When the Zealot leader Eleazar ben Jair saw the end nearing, he gathered his people and together they chose death with honor by their own hands rather than being captured alive and becoming slaves to the Romans.Even today, the legends and mystique of "Zayin," or "Seven" tells a tale of courage and commitment to those universal principles of love and truth to one's highest self that throughout the ages have nourished and sustained the downtrodden and oppressed -- and caused even the meek to become risk-takers and crusaders for world peace.
Imagination of God
1 Co 13:10 When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. From the molecular to the infinite the lenses of modern science are revealing more of Creation: which means Creation is revealing more of God than ever before in stunning clarity. From our Motion through the Universe being hidden within Stillness, to the Light of our Sun being hidden within the Darkness of Night, to the Biblical Mystery of the Four Corners of the Earth: All of these and more revealing the Mysteries of the Godhead in a way the world has never heard before; having always been destined to help us understand ourselves in a way we never have, even revealing how spiritual leaders the world over will see "eye to eye" (Isaiah 52:8) which in time will lead to World Peace when " Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4). This Revelation of God foretold in biblical prophecy, now being revealed by modern science will restore America to our true biblical foundations and the world will never be the same! Find out what that means for you today, moving forward with the insights in Imagination of God.

Dance of Light
McDowell characterizes the spiritual life as a captivating dance. Sometimes the steps are easy to follow; other times they become confusing or lost from view. In a clear and compelling voice, McDowell guides the reader through the steps of the dance. Each chapter offers a rich description of one step to spiritual realization and ends with open-ended self-reflective questions for the reader. These steps include experiences of bewilderment, detachment, renewal, awakening, illumination, dark night of the soul, and finally divine union or Self-realization. Drawing upon the wisdom of ancient traditions, contemporary spiritual teachers, and the author's own experiences, Dance of Light offers practical wisdom for contemporary spiritual seekers. Whether beginner or advanced, readers will receive guidance on the dynamics of the spiritual journey, learn how to further develop their inner life, and find ways to move forward when unmotivated, stuck, or lost.
Sermons for Your Soul
Sermons for Your Soul is a collection of sermons written to encourage, and strengthen the faith of the believer. It has the dual purpose of also encouraging and drawing to Christ those individuals who have not accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. The personal stories of faith intertwined throughout the book, are mostly based on the experiences of the author. Although Sermons for Your Soul is a book of sermons it can also be used as a devotional tool. There are many scriptures embedded in the sermons for study and contemplation. I pray that the reader will be inspired through this book to trust God and to know that because He is omnipresent, they are never alone in what they go through. I also pray that their faith will increase as their worries decrease through the reading of these sermons.
Apotheosis Vol II
Soulmates can be a blessing but finding them can really be tedious and we are fed with theories on 'love' and relationship through movies, songs, plays, novels and hearsay. And we dream for these fairy tales to come true. When the lovers met each other in the tryst, she felt a wave of current passing through! And both of them were utterly perplexed as to how they could feel a pleasant shock, called as," Twin Flame", a sort of high energy, intense, a continuation of previous love romance kind that builds on one on a spiritual level. The pages of History on romantic scriptures, one will come across mention of soulmates and two flames and kindred spirit! In Tamil, it is called,"Vitta Kurai thotta Kurai" meaning something incomplete in the past life is out here in the next birth to finish its purpose. May be that is why soulmates are hard! They come to work on one, show one's faults, try to fix one, and when the work is done, they leave. It is also one of the blandest relationships. They are just like you, so you can understand why they did and what they did. Even if they're flirting with someone else, you know they will come around, and there's no room for jealousy. You would instead just let them go than fight over pettiness.
