Victorious Living: Finding Satisfying Victory in God


Book Description

I am more and more convinced that many well-intentioned Christians live far below their promises from God or presume upon God for too much of the "good life," whatever that may mean. We want to live on the "mountain top" of God's favor, but too often find ourselves in the valley of trouble and outright despair. We have to learn how to live victoriously in the valleys of life with God. I believe this is not only possible, but should be the Christian "normal" for those wishing to live Christ-centered lives.







When God Says No: The Riches and Blessings of the Ten Commandments


Book Description

Our Christian heritage teaches us that these ten "words" give us conviction for when we dishonor God and our neighbor, constrain us in our civil engagements and provide guidelines as to acceptable behaviors before God and people in every culture and every situation. They are God's lifelines to a peaceful and stable society. When God Says No is a theological and practical study of the Ten Commandments. It will immerse you in what God considers right and proper behavior and will expand your horizons in almost every field of endeavor.




Understanding Baptists: A History of How Baptists Interpret the Bible

Baptist history is a tapestry of struggling with the predominant theologies of their times, a struggle that often found them either dying at the end of a stake or railing against the prevailing interpretation of the Bible in their time period.
