Book and Study Guide in One!There are blind spots in contemporary Christianity today. Things that we just don’t seem to see. Could we turn our head and look? Yes. Should we do so? Absolutely. But, for the most part, we do not. Instead, we content ourselves with quick glances in the side views as we continue headlong on our journey through life in this culture. I get it. The road is smooth and the seat warmer is soothing. The radio is playing our favorite tunes, and the kids are lost in digital worlds in the back seat. It’s clear sailing and steady on. Life is good in the car right now, ...

How do you discover who you were created to be? Some books will tell you the answer is found by controlling your fears or managing your emotions. But how do feelings help you know your purpose in life? Other books delve mystically into discussions about harnessing your sun sign, tapping into your source energy, or igniting a spark of divinity inside you. At best those answers seem vague, at worst they're just plain weird. In the end, people searching for answers in those books come away frustrated and confused. In Finding the True You, you will not read much about managing your emotions, ...

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. ~ Ephesians 6:12 In a time before time, a momentous battle between good and evil raged across the heavens. Struck down, the author of chaos fell like lightning to the earth bent on nothing but vengeance. For millennia, his followers openly sowed the seeds of confusion, doubt, and disbelief, desiring to lead all of humanity astray. Yet, an even more sinister plan grows in the shadows, ...

Updated for 2022! Don't live unfulfilled any longer. Discover the source of true satisfaction. If you are searching for more, the answer will not be found in sex, pills, drugs, magazines, possessions, porn, self-help books, etc. These things may seem to promise fulfillment and satisfaction, but the best they can offer are temporary fixes. Nevertheless, in a desperate attempt to get back to that fix, we go from fad to fad, pleasure to pleasure, relationship to relationship, hoping that the next one will be the answer we are eagerly seeking. It is an empty search. If you have come to find out...

J. Wilbur Chapman was a pastor in Philadelphia in the late 1800s. During one particular service, a man came to the stage and shared a testimony that was so moving, Chapman often repeated it. The man stated that he had been living as a bum for eighteen long years. He hopped from train to train, went from town to town, begging on the streets for whatever he could get. A nickel or dime, here or there. But one day, he touched a man on the shoulder and said, “Hey, mister, can you give me a dime?” When the man turned around, the bum realized it was his father! In shock, he said, “Father, ...

With all the time spent thinking about the perfect gifts for our friends, relatives, and neighbors, I wonder how much time we have spent asking, “What does God want for Christmas? What’s the perfect gift for Him this year?” After all, it is His birthday, right? This holiday is about the Lord wrapping Himself in flesh and becoming the greatest gift the world has ever known. That means if anyone deserves something in return this Christmas, it is Him. Since that is the case, we should invest time in discovering the Lord’s wish list. Do you know what God wants this year for Christmas? ...

MAKE A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION THAT MATTERS! Late December and early January is the time of year when many will make those famous New Year’s resolutions. Most of those determined "resolvers" usually make it through January with their resolutions still intact. But then February comes, the newness of the resolution fades, and the reality begins to sink in. “This is hard. What I resolved to do is hard.” Sadly, statistics show that only a paltry 8% of those who make New Year’s resolutions actually stick with them for an entire year. Yes, we all make resolutions and break them. Frankly, ...

There's a story about an ancient queen who was searching for men to carry her litter as she traveled from place to place. Knowing that the job was about far more than the ability to hoist poles onto shoulders, the queen took prospective candidates to the edge of a cliff and asked only one question, "How close to this cliff's edge could you carry me?" Some were so confident that they boldly replied, “Your majesty, I could get within six-inches of the cliff’s edge.” Others, however, were not so brash, stating that their royal charge was far too precious to even attempt flirting with the...

Have your parenting transformed! The Bible is full of parents. Throughout the pages of Scripture, Moms and Dads are found making choices and decisions that impact their children and those around them. The blessings or fallout from those choices and decisions most definitely can apply to our lives as parents today. So what can parents today learn from those parents of old? What could happen in our families if we applied the lessons taught through these Scriptural accounts? Those are the questions this book seeks to answer. In his typical engaging style, Mark J. Musser leads his readers ...

EVERY FAMILY SHOULD READ THIS! A survey done by The Barna Group found that "parents typically have no plan for the spiritual development of their children; do not consider it a priority, have little or no training in how to nurture a child’s faith, have no related standards or goals that they are seeking to satisfy, and experience no accountability for their efforts.” The results of this are tragic. Recent reports have discovered that between 75% and 85% of children who grow up in evangelical homes leave the church by their sophomore year of college. Every day our children are bombarded...
