Marriage is one of the greatest institutions ever created by God, but the devil wants to make it one of the worst. Marriage is where you can experience the greatest happiness, success, and fun. Sadly most marriages experience only disappointments, frustration, and pain. Do not just endure your marriage; enjoy your marriage once again!

The Bible is the most accurate and proven book of all times. It is in the Bible where we find out about life, work, marriage, friendship, money, and love. God teaches about every subject, and leadership is certainly one. We see leadership taught clearly by way of principle, command, and example. Yet God's way of doing things is not always how we would guess or imagine. In God's economy, to be greatest is to be servant, to live is to die, to receive is to give... seems opposite of what we w...

Back CoverDo you know that your Heavenly Father knows and cares for you in every aspect of your life? He never gives a task that is impossible or that cannot be accomplished without His help. He never allows you to go through a trial where He can’t help you. There’s no sin that he cannot conquer in your life. Yet too many times we look up to Him and say, “I can’t.” If God is your God, you most certainly can! God’s children are “more than conquerors through him that loved us.” (Roma...

When I was a child, my grandma taught the children's Sunday School class. The missionary stories with flannel graphs always grabbed my attention.

They excited me and gave me a passion to see God do some of the same things as the men and women we read about. I firmly believed that if God did miraculous works in these missionaries of the past, how could He n...

This book contains brief biographies that can be used as devotionals for groups, families, with your children or personally. The author's desire is that God will use this little book to give you passion for the lost by taking a closer look into the lives of these giants of the faith.

In both life and ministry it is very easy to let discouragement and circumstances beat you. We must make a daily choice to get the victory that Christ gives to each of us. We don't have to just survive our life, our marriage, or our ministry. We can THRIVE because He helps us overcome the greatest battles! I have learned through learning a language, planting churches, and training national leadership that life isn't always going to go the way we plan, but we can, with the Lord's help, not ...
