If you've ever wondered why The Bible is full of so many apparent contradictions, you're not alone. If you're afraid you might betray the God of The Bible if you question centuries-old traditions, you won't, as long as you let Scripture speak for itself. To that end, Fish Tales (From the Belly of the Whale) plunges you headlong into an unrelenting search for biblical truth that will forever change how you think about the word of God. Along the way, you'll find th...

The Book of Tales tells the story of the most pivotal promise God ever gave to Adam and Eve, to their children, to their descendants, to us. Known as the prophecy of the Great Five and a Half Days, this promise reveals how when Christ was to come to Earth in the flesh, His arrival would not come as a surprise; it would, in fact, occur at a precise moment in history. But unlike typical biblical treatises, in verifying such things, this work does more than present its arguments by w...

In today's world of instant information, it is easy to get swept up in a sea of half-truths and distortions.This is particularly evident in the realm of politics, where lies and misconceptions obscure an accurate view of many important aspects of American culture, such as the separation of church and state, the influence of The Bible on politics, and the principles upon which America was founded.It is therefore more important than ever to debunk these lies and misc...

In "Do unto Brothers", R. Kent Smith takes the Golden Rule and candidly discusses our responsibilities to consider those around us in every decision. His discussion of ethics, integrity, and conflict resolution is an incredible look into oneself. Do Unto Brothers is broken into three sections. The Mandate: The responsibility each of us have to each other is without excuse. The Model: A 5-Step approach to conflict resolution. The Mosaic: The author creates 24 life mosaics of his own experie...

At its most basic level, the kind of cynicism we'll be speaking of here concerns the age-old tendency where it's so easy to view things like God or truth or justice as the stuff that only fools or con artists profess to believe in. The reasons for such cynicism are varied and complex. To better understand them, this work traces the history of humanity's attitude toward God and the world, marred as it is by the presence of evil, particularly in terms of what is communicated in The Bible...

The history of our world reveals evidence of a remarkable drama of God's control and faithfulness, a drama played out for all to see, yet ironically, one that is literally hidden in plain sight. Weaving a tapestry of the ages, composed of Christendom's most sacred people, events, and artifacts, Tales of Forever sets out to describe that drama.

In a world where the cacophony of life often drowns out the whispers of our deepest truths, Kent Smith emerges as a beacon of clarity and insight in "Sock Drawer Theology." With a title that may raise an eyebrow or two, this book is far more than a whimsical exploration of sock drawers. Instead, it explores the fabric of our daily lives, weaving together threads of discipline and intentionality to create a tapestry of profound spiritual wisdom. In a culture that often glorifies the grandio...

Contrary to our modern view of The Bible, which depicts a 4,000-year genealogy from Adam to Christ, there is actually a great deal of evidence that this chronology is at odds with the genuine facts of biblical history. To demonstrate this, The Book of Days presents an alternate timeline by way of a vast array of voices, citing testimony derived from biblical texts, historical documents, and sacred artifacts.The conclusion offered here: Not only does this evidence ...

Because Jesus said His Kingdom isn't "of this world," many assume that only Heaven is worthy of being pursued, and that the Earth should be forever viewed as an enemy of God's Kingdom. But nothing could be further from the truth.Jesus didn't say the Earth itself was unworthy or ungodly; He simply stated that His Kingdom wasn't "of this world." What's more, the phrase "of this world" really just means it's not "from this world." Saying it's not "of" implies an inhe...

Every city has its landmarks, its leaders, its defining moments; but beneath the surface of every community is something far more important: the quiet, steady influence of trusted people who shape its character. Every City Needs A Smith is a deeply personal journey into the life, legacy, and impact of one such man, and the timeless principles he embodied. This book is about more than a name. It is about the kind of person every city needs. The one who shows up, speaks truth, builds trust, ...

In FORMED, R Kent Smith shares with the reader his journey of spiritual formation. He includes his personal formative years and takes the reader through the process and practical approach to the spiritual disciplines from the perspective of an Apostolic Pentecostal preacher's kid. He then points at all the disciplines as a form of worship rather than a list of requirements for spiritual attainment. Simply put, he shares a conversation with the reader of how the spiritual disciplines are a ...
