"This is a very serious book about a serious topic...you.

God's Heavenly Messages


Book Description

Robert Warren pastors Faith, Hope, and Love Ministries, a church located in Suffolk, Virginia. Born December 2, 1950, he was raised in a small area of Suffolk, known as Driver. Upon graduating from John F. Kennedy High School, located in Suffolk, VA; he attended C. H. Mason Bible College and The Virginia Seminary and College in Lynchburg, Virginia. Happily married to the loving Mary Baker Warren, a woman, after God's own heart; the two reside in Suffolk, Virginia. Robert Warren is a lover of people who loves preaching God's word and is a poet at heart. His inspiration for this book came from a dream he once had several years ago. In this dream he saw the light that David had seen in Psalm 119:105 appear where it says; Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Bright, beaming, and shaped like a ball; men were passing this spherical ball of light to one another. Seemingly to had never hit the ground; these men had come from everywhere and every walk of life frantically enjoying this bright, beaming ball of light. "What does this mean?" You ask! The bright, beaming ball of light represents God's word and how he wants us to pass it on to EVERY man, woman, and child. But don't just pass it on needlessly, find pleasure in it! Enjoy passing on God's Word so that others may see your shining joy and want to pass it on also. Stay focused, don't faint, and remember to keep the ball of light going, never dropping it. When we pass His Word, lives are changed. Thus, resulting in the writing of this book, God's Heavenly Messages. This is one way I have chosen to pass God's Word around, believing it will help people change their lives and come to know Jesus Christ.




Disciples Are Made Not Born


Book Description

"Make Disciples." Jesus' command is clear. But what is a disciple? And how are we to "make" them? Based on decades of experience, this book explains and illustrates the process of disciple-making that Jesus taught and modeled. First published in 1974, its practical, biblical approach has revolutionized the ministry of hundreds of thousands of Christians as they learned how to multiply themselves in the lives of others. Disciple-making is challenging, to be sure. But as we are faithful to Christ's Great Commission, we'll experience the fulfillment that comes from being faithful to the life mission to which God has called us.




Stories of Calvary


Book Description

Danny Hodges became the senior pastor of a young church fellowship known as Calvary Chapel in St. Petersburg, Florida, in April of 1984. Three years later when he was introduced to Pastor Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel movement, he felt an immediate sense of being at home and was grateful to God for leading him to this network of churches that upheld a simple, biblical philosophy of ministry and well-balanced doctrine. Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg soon became a fellowship of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, and since that time God has steadily grown the ministry from a handful of mostly young single adults to a large church full of families. It has been exciting to see God's Spirit bring many to salvation through Jesus Christ, see lives change and mature in the Lord, see relationships bloom and grow, see ministries evolve and prosper, see a hunger for the Word of God and see a passionate desire to win the lost to Jesus. Pastor Danny and his wife, Wendy, consider it an honor to serve this growing body of believers together with their four children, Tanner, Hayden, Jairus and Audra.

A good coach will challenge his athlete. This book is worded in a way to challenge you and encourage you.
