I wake up every morning wanting more and more of God. I have fallen in love with Him and can’t get enough of Him. I know without question that if I “rightly divide the Word” (2 Timothy 2:15), then I will eliminate all confusion and questions in the Word. But I was challenged by a theologian whom I respect highly. My eyes have been opened to a part of the Word that has changed the way I view all scriptures now. My hope is that by listening to and learning about these divine secrets, your spiritual life will be impacted like mine has been. God bless!

Everybody messes up. In relationships. In business. In life. It's a fact of human nature that we're flawed. People aren't inherently bad, but humans tend to do a lot of bad things. Everyone has engaged in behavior they're not proud of. We all have secrets, and we're all prone to traits and impulses we wish we didn't have. History, literature, and music for centuries have given us examples of falls from grace, tragedies, and fatal flaws.

There are reasons that children don't listen, and there are ways to convert bad attitudes. If you believe that training up a child in the way he should go and honoring your parents may be part of how you get your child to feed a cat—or get your child to come when you call, finish homework, or be home by suppertime—this book is for you.

I know this sounds a bit cliche, but life truly is a journey. It evidences as a unique sojourn for every individual person. This is the story of a child born seventy years ago. It is a story of triumph and setbacks, of joy and sorrow, of weakness and strength. But most of all, it is a story of courage. Brian J. Woznicki was born with cerebral palsy. He was dealt a very difficult hand in life.

Maize is a dark tale about gruesome murders and the urgency to find the cause. In rural Ryne County, a tourist attraction is the site of a grizzly killing. Residents start to suspect each other, while the local county sheriff and his deputy look for answers.

A diagnosis of cancer frees the author to answer God's call into kingdom work even while he confronts his mortality and the pain and anxiety that come with a terminal disease. The Apostle Paul sums up the author's experience of God's truth by writing, "This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed" (Romans 13: 11 NLT).

Many sermons are preached, classroom teaching, or one-on-one intercourse by using this verse or that verse to prove what the speaker's point is. Often, the reference verse may be describing a different situation than what the point is being projected by the instructor, causing the reference to be taken out of continence. This book is not developed to replace your present Bible study but as guide to set up a systematic habit of Bible study. By listening to the Bible in order as it is written, you will learn and have the proper insight as to what the Lord is teaching you.

Every book of the Bible is of major importance. However, there are two books that stand out from the rest. These books are Genesis and Revelation. Genesis is the Bible's introduction, and Revelation is the Bible's conclusion. Genesis tells us how all things began. Revelation tells us how all things will end. The person who does not have an overall grasp of these two books will fall short of understanding the Bible as a whole. Revelation: Putting the Cookies on the Bottom Shelf was written to make the book of Revelation understandable.

God is to be worshipped. I knew that, but I did not know how. I asked the Lord one day how He wanted me to worship Him, and He gave me Worship Songs. Every day, we would meet, and He would give me a song—sometimes two, sometimes more. It was amazing how the Holy Spirit was speaking, and as He was speaking, I was writing His every word. The Lord gave me two hundred songs. Not only did God want me to hear and sing these songs but He wanted His words manifested in my life.

America is at a crossroad. Current public opinion surveys report that Americans believe that the country is on the wrong track, and they are broadly pessimistic about the future. Diminishing social trust, lack of civility, and promotion of individualism over community has resulted in a country that is discontented, fractious, alienated, and divided. What is happening to our American values and virtues?
