Bible readers have always loved the book of Daniel, inspired by heroes like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who faced persecutions and strove to remain committed to God while held captive in a secular society. But when reading the book's prophetic and apocalyptic sections, many people feel mystified and confused. In Daniel: Prophet to the Nations, John M. Oakes presents a balanced and objective attempt to unlock the prophetic message of Daniel, while placing the book in its proper historical context. For the twenty-first century reader who is able to look back in time and see how countless specific prophecies have been realized, the validity of the message of Daniel is proven in a very convincing manner. The faith and deep convictions that can be gained from understanding the book of Daniel will help Christians apply the practical examples of righteous living (even in a godless culture) to their own individual lives.

A Biblical Guide to Managing Your Anger the Way God Intended! You don't have to go very far in the Bible to address the topic of man's anger. It has been an issue ever since God created man. In fact, God only had to create four people in order to see anger surface as an everyday issue in their lives as shown with Cain and Abel. God designed you to have the capacity to experience anger to bring about change. How you handle your anger determines whether there is change or more damage. If your only examples of angry people have left you hurt, bitter, or even angry yourself, then you can learn how Godly men managed their anger such as Moses, David, Jeremiah and Nehemiah. God's anger is different from man's anger and comes from an intense love for you. You've never experienced that kind of love from any human being. You've never been pursued so relentlessly and with such passion. When we continually ignore that pursuit, and stubbornly refuse to have or even want that closeness or intimacy, God's anger will eventually be aroused. This anger is not as from a jilted lover; it is not from impatience, frustration or irritation at your lack of response, but rather from a holy and just God with a plan to fulfill your dreams and protect you from the devastating consequences of sin. God's anger is necessary to accomplish all of this for you, so that all his dreams for you can come true. That's why his anger is not like ours.

But What About Your Anger?

In this new book, Kit takes you on another forty-day journey, and this time we will seek spiritual breakthrough together with seven new steps that lead us to look for God's answers on a daily basis. Many people pray. Many people even pray daily. And some pray daily and really cry out to God. Why then, are so many "church folks" so stressed, worried and fearful? Why are so many Christians filled with doubt and dread, when they are consistently praying to God? Kit believes that the answer lies in focus and attention-or lack thereof. He believes people are sincere and that they really want help. But he also believes that they have fallen into the trap of seeing things the same old way, after years of thinking the same old way, and they are now unable to see God's answers right in front of them. This new project is about opening our eyes and adjusting our lens, so that we can see our glorious God doing his powerful work every day.

In these pages, Robin Weidner walks gently, yet boldly into the heart of a woman. She helps answer the questions that lie often hidden beneath every woman's story, regardless of age, culture or spiritual background: Am I enough? Who can I count on? Will I be rescued? Will I be successful? Who will protect me? What will others think of me? Will I be alone? Will I find unfailing love? For each of these questions, the author shows how to identify Satan's false securities and then how to overcome them by applying God's word. Through stories from her life and the lives of others, she brings to light this often hidden struggle and helps women find the security that is God's gift to his daughters. This edition includes an in-depth study guide, guidelines for book groups, a scripture index on insecurity, a new introduction and bonus chapter in which Robin reflects on what has happened in her life since the initial publishing of the book. "Secure in Heart strikes a chord that is in every woman's heart. 'Do I really matter?' Thank you for the truth that God says, 'Yes, you are worth it all!'" -Mary Owen, Recovery Group Leader, Coauthor of Witness Since the launch of the Secure in Heart ministry, Robin Weidner has spoken to women's groups across the US and abroad. Owner of a thriving copywriting business, Robin also serves beside her husband, Dave, to help others restore purity after sexual impurity.

Do those in a local fellowship need training to become good Christian church members? We believe the answer is an emphatic Yes. Aren't all in a Christian church, members-including the leaders? We may not all be evangelists, elders, teachers, or deacons, but all are members. In fact, training in Christian church membership is tantamount to training in the Christian life in general. At times, what appears to be a problem of leadership in the church may, in fact, be largely due to a problem in the membership. If the members of the church treated the leaders of the church as they would want to be treated if they were the leaders, a lot of our church problems would be solved fairly quickly. Applying the Golden Rule turns out to be a useful concept for all our relationship within the church, not just the relationship between the members and the leaders. In this book, we will be exploring many aspects of applying the Golden Rule to Christian church membership. Subjects covered include: • In Christ you are free indeed • A Christian Bill of Rights • Leadership and membership • Willingly offer yourself to God • Willingly serve your ministry • Willingly support your leaders • Willingly give to one another • Willingly build up the church and much more...

The The Guilty Soul's Guide To Grace

Sam Laing

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you...I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD... My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? These few excerpts from The Book of Psalms touch upon the essential fact that it is a book about relationship-having a real and meaningful connection with God. Far from dry and dreary religion, worship and prayer in the psalms is spirited and sincere. The psalms proclaim that all are invited to encounter God and to dialogue with him. That invitation comes down to us...and also led to this book being written. This book is for anyone who wants to get into the psalms. There are three parts: Into Their World, Into Their Message, Into Our Lives. Topics covered include: The Background of Psalms The Psalms as Literature The Different Types of Psalms The Nature of God in Psalms Themes covered in the Psalms Jesus in the Psalms Psalms as Life Tools How to Study Individual Psalms ...and much more About the author: Dr. Rolan Dia Monje, evangelist and teacher, has spoken in various settings in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Indochina, and Asia-Pacific. Dr. Monje graduated from the University of the Philippines (BS electrical engineering) and University of London (BD biblical languages). He earned his masters and doctorate degrees (pastoral theology) from American Bible College-Florida. He and his wife, Weng, have led ministries for almost twenty years. They have two daughters, Yana and Stefi.

An Aging Grace: Collected Wisdom on Aging Faithfully With honesty, humility, and humor, the writers tell of their own mistakes, failures, trials and shortcomings, and how God has brought them to a better place through them all. They share experiences that have been unjust or unfair, and how God the righteous Judge has worked to bring justice in his own time and in his own way. But they don't just share trials-they also share stories of victory and inspiration. Some offer us practical wisdom in dealing with the specific issues (financial, marital, physical) that aging brings. Each writer strives to inspire us to keep fighting, keep loving, and keep laughing, no matter what "old age" throws our way. - From the foreword by Sam Laing In these pages you will read how men and women of faith face aging and its accompanying challenges. Topics are many and include relationships, continued purpose and spiritual growth, advice on health, grandparenting, finances, forgiveness and resolution. Not the least of these is how to conquer the fear of death. I heartily recommend that the young read this book, to help understand elderly friends and parents, and their possible future; and for the old to read, to know how they are not alone. - Dr. Stan Morehead, neurologist Chapter topics and authors: 1.
