Talkin' about Christ - Over the Back Fence


Book Description

Dr. Felsburg provides a unique approach to evangelism training in Talkin' about Christ - Over the Back Fence. The book is designed to integrate the disciplines of engineering, theology and human behavior analysis to examine where a person is in his or her journey toward Christ and formulate an action plan for closing the gap. The first ten chapters deal with applying well know Christian materials as instruments for measuring a prospect's current beliefs as a launching pad for helping them advance toward Christ. The second ten chapters address the interpretation of prospect responses and the application of those responses to a plan for tracking the progress of the unbelievers over the next several days, weeks or months. Dr. Felsburg combines the knowledge gained through bachelors and masters degrees in engineering, seminary training at the graduate and post-graduate levels, and a doctorate in organizational behavior and management in a totally fresh approach to interacting with people. As a bi-vocational pastor and evangelist for over thirty years and an entrepreneur founding four successful, multi-million dollar companies, Dr. Felsburg's approach to measuring and planning for success is very well established. He has amassed awards under INC 500, Washington Technologies and Deloitte for the largest growth in revenues for his secular companies each year and worked as Minister of Outreach and Evangelism in one of the few churches in the world to earn a fifth eagle award under the Spiral Growth Program. Applying these successes in industrial human development and church related spiritual growth has resulted in the approaches documented in Talkin' about Christ - Over the Back Fence. They are explained and applied in a cooperative learning environment for the new learner and the seasoned evangelistic veteran as well.

The President Had Ninety Seconds


Book Description

The President Had Ninety Seconds: A Thermonuclear Holocaust Awaited is a fictional account of actual events set toward the end of the Cold War era. The US and the USSR had completed the largest buildups of nuclear weaponry in history. While the US was the only nation in history to have used nuclear weapons against an enemy, all the nations on earth feared a repeat of the massive destruction, loss of life, and long-term results of the release of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, to end World War II. Nevertheless, the missile warning systems deep within the granite caverns of NORADs Cheyenne Mountain complex rang out its alarms four times between November 1979 and June 1980. Each alarm announced missile attacks on the US more than a thousand times greater than the earlier attacks on Japan. As the warning systems projected the location and time of impact for each of the 250 nuclear missiles launched against us, the presidents missile warning telecon was convened. With only a few minutes left before the missiles began to strike, NORADs senior director recapped the situation for the president. Once the missiles began to hit; no capability would remain for nuclear retaliation. Our nuclear strike force would be eliminated while still on the ground. The senior director announced over the telecon, Mr. President, we now have ninety seconds to approve nuclear retaliation, or our arsenal will be destroyed on the ground. The President Had Ninety Seconds: A Thermonuclear Holocaust Awaited.




Love Like You've Never Been Hurt


Book Description

The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do. Sharing his own story of personal pain, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love. Through biblical and modern-day stories, he discusses different types of relational disappointment and heartache, and answers questions such as Why should I trust again? and How can I ever really forgive? The walls we build around our hearts to cut us off from pain are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing, and feeling love. Here are the tools and inspiration you need to tear down those walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships, and learn to love like you've never been hurt.
