Seven-year-old Mark is entranced by the simple gifts of the Christmas season, starting with a perfect snowflake that lands on his nose.

“As a man thinks in his heart so is he.”Many people who are familiar with Proverbs 23:7 (above) conclude that what they think about they will become. With that in mind they lead with their brains and assume their spiritual identity will follow. They reason that they can control, even create, their destiny with their thinking, failing to realize that their minds are part of their fallenness which must be continually renewed - realigned with God’s purpose.

Preaching is hard work. When I first felt called to ministry, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. This little book is the kind of resource I wish I had way back when I felt the call to ministry. There were good books on preaching, but most lacked the practical tips I needed. I knew why I preached and what to preach. What I didn't know was how to preach. I needed short, practical tips to get me started in the right direction.

The church spends $1.5 million for every one new follower of Jesus. Apple sells 26 iPads every minute. What is it that makes Apple so exciting and Jesus so boring? What is it that compels someone to bring their iPod everywhere and their Bible nowhere? In a word: marketing. Jesus is a life-changing product with lousy salespeople-people who are intimidated and embarrassed by the word "evangelism" and who show more enthusiasm for their gadgets than their God.

The Christian faith has repeatedly been called a “religion of the book.” Along with the incarnate Word and the oral word of preaching, God has chosen the medium of books to proclaim His goodness to us. The Bible is the book per se, and it sets the standard for the Christian faith. The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century saw the dramatic power of the printed word to bring light out of darkness as literature changed the thought and life of nations.

In Catholic tradition, there are numerous forms of prayer. All of them are valid and productive and suited to the temperaments of different people. There is a common denominator in many of these holy methods and techniques of prayer. We are spending time with our loving creator. We are trying to have a sacred conversation. And when we manage to slow up enough to listen; prayer becomes a two way conversation.

Jesus is calling all of us to be his apostles. He dedicates this volume to his servants; those who seek to spread his message of love and salvation. Just as the original apostles were sent out to build his church, we are being sent out as his apostles to reclaim his church. We are being commissioned to bring Christ to souls, so that he can pull them from the darkness and back into the safety of the family of God.

This little audiobook was first designed as a handout to inform all of the simplicity of God's requirements for being allowed to enter a promised land beyond our wildest dreams. Satan would like us to believe that the requirements are far too hard and complicated for anyone - but I'm here to tell you, that's a lie. So I challenge you to investigate for yourself, because it really is time to think. Use the good common sense God gave you. If you do that, you'll be amazed - asking yourself why you hadn't realized this before.

Most people have asked, “Where is God when hard times hit?” Even great heroes of the Christian faith like Elijah, a prophet from the Old Testament. Elijah’s life was going great. He experienced spiritual victory after spiritual victory and had the favor of God on his life. And that’s when it happened! That’s when the bottom fell out of his life. In the midst of his pain, Elijah wondered where God was. And in the midst of his pain, God answered. Like Elijah, God has a word for you in the midst of your pain, suffering, and struggle. It’s a word that you can discover today!

"Follow me." Jesus's clear call in the first century changed lives and impacted society. Jesus is still calling people to follow Him today. Lives and communities continue to feel this influence and benefit from the difference Jesus makes both in and through His disciples. But what does it mean to follow Jesus?
