Christians are called to bear a cross. These crosses sometimes involve the general burdens that affect everyone. At other times, Christians bear specific burdens. The Lord promises us that our crosses and burdens can be transformed into small splinters if we focus on what really matters. How can this happen? You will find the answer in Splinters of the Cross...the same answer that was found by Abraham, Moses, Daniel, Peter, Paul, and many more: God's grace is sufficient for you.

Charles Dickens referred to the parable of the prodigal son as the greatest story ever written. He has not stood alone in that sentiment. For generations this brief parable, as told by Jesus Christ, has been not only familiar but captivating to its readers. Perhaps what makes this story so intriguing is the way so many of us can identify with the younger son, who rebelled against his father only to realize later the gravity of his mistakes.

People from all walks of life are experiencing God in incredibly personal ways - just like the men and women in the Bible. You can too!

I sat in church listening to a charismatic preacher proclaiming the Word of God in an enthusiastic fashion. I was fascinated by the amount of Bible quotations he reeled off in his one-hour message! I was surprised by the fact that though I was a new believer - having been in Christ for just two years - I could complete some of the scriptures he quoted.

The answer is now at your fingertips. Whether you're lonely or afraid, discouraged or sad, There's a Verse For That can lead you to the scripture you need to find peace, direction, and encouragement. There's a Verse For That is not a substitute for the Bible. It is a map that will lead you to a very present help in the time of need.

This book is direct and to the point. In it we share a word the church does not want to hear in this modern age of political correctness. But we really need to consider the implications. "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." We must start with the narrowness. Many people are made nervous by this.

We see Evil every day. All we need to do is turn on the television or radio, open a newspaper, or surf the web and we see Evil touching lives in the forms of murder, assault, rape, wife beating, baby killing, war, or human trafficking.

Statistics abound about the large numbers of people leaving organized religion and the general disenchantment with all things spiritual as presented by Western religions. Secularists, politicians, political correctness police, public education, government, and law enforcement have all stepped up unwarranted persecution of religion in general and Christianity in particular.

One of the richest ways to describe our relationship with Jesus is as his betrothed. We are engaged to be married to the perfect husband. Just as Jesus is the second Adam, restoring mankind's relationship with the father, we are the second Eve, the divinely given helpmate for our husband. The day is coming soon when we who know him will be married to our husband. What a wonderful day that will be!

Book nine, Feelings of Forgiveness, reminds us that true liberty is found in Christ when we understand that we can experience forgiveness for sins. Sin is bondage, and Jesus came to set us free from our captivity.

In Eavesdropping on God, the listener has the privilege of “listening” in on the conversations, questions, and struggles that one man faces, which are not unfamiliar to many Christians. Book Four, Glimpses of Hope, covers how hope in God not only sustains my life, but also blesses me beyond measure. We sometimes face trials and tribulations that seem hopeless, but as you journey through this devotional, you’ll come to see that our hope in God is never baseless or begrudging.

In Eavesdropping on God, the listener has the privilege of "listening" in on the conversations, questions, and struggles that one man faces, which are not unfamiliar to many Christians. I borrowed the term Eavesdropping on God from my pastor, Dr. Dennis Brunet. When he is preaching, Dr. Brunet will talk directly to one individual and tell him or her, "Can I talk to you for a bit? We’ll just let the others eavesdrop."

He's My Son is the true story of a six-year-old child's courageous fight for his life after a traumatic accident and the power of prayer to help his family cope during this time. Throughout the ordeal the little boy's father deals with grief, fear, and regret only to be given hope through his wife's unwavering faith that Christ would heal their son. The family would find their strong tower in Christ during this time and would refuse to give up hope, even against professional medical opinion.

In Eavesdropping on God, the listener has the privilege of hearing the conversations, questions, and struggles that one man faces, which are not unfamiliar to many Christians. Book Three, Whispers of Grace, covers how the grace of God has not only redeemed my life, but also blessed me beyond measure. We tend to think at times that God owes us, but as you journey through this devotional, you'll come to see that the Lord's grace is one of His most precious gifts to us.

I have a series of yearly devotionals that are in a love letter from God format with scriptures. They are also available in monthly books. They are for daily readings for peaceful meditations. I currently have eight volumes available and have copyrights on each of them. I have full audio rights and am willing to pay upfront or royalties. The scripture reading could be optional and given as an address, but I would like the love letter from God read.

End the confusion! God's people have been sold a bill of goods. If you think about it at all, evolution could not be true. If this young earth is really billions of years old, then God is a liar. You know that isn't true. This book tells the tale of God's creation lovingly, by a man who only recently came to his senses. It had been obvious when he visited the Grand Canyon that this hadn't happened over countless millennia. It had happened quickly with a massive flood of water. God made man. We didn't come from apes.

Most Christians desire only mountaintop experiences with God, but life isn't all mountaintops. There are valleys we must go through from mountaintop to mountaintop, and it is through the valleys that we experience the truly victorious Christian life.

If you took a census within any Sunday Service or Church meeting, at least 80% of the congregants would profess the desire to become a matured believer for Christ. But if you press the group to take their desire into practical day to day applications, the number of willing participants will significantly decline. Of course God is there to help you by His Spirit but you must be committed to playing your part.

Sit back and enjoy a daily devotional for the next month. There are 30 devotionals arranged in alphabetical order by title. Although these words are from one man's life, you will be amazed and blessed by their application to your everyday life.
