Many years ago, Vic Zarley was a three-year student/teacher of a spiritual self-help book known as A Course in Miracles. He had no idea the course was not biblically correct because of his New Age indoctrination. After his first wife died of breast cancer, Vic met Eva, his next wife and Christian mentor. He was strongly guided by the Lord and his new wife to drop the course and study God's word.

Justin wasn't shopping for one. But, while on vacation on the East Coast, he purchased a cathedral style radio from an antique store. When he got it back to the hotel and turned it on, he was surprised at what he heard. Terrified voices from three centuries ago spilled into his hotel room as he listened to a terrible storm battering a passenger ship at sea. Then, in the midst of the fearful cries and shouts for mercy from passengers on the ship, in the distance, a man heard some people singing a hymn. How could they be so calm at a time like this? 

Should a Christian watch TV? There are many reasons why we should have not allowed TV into our homes. Shall I Pray or Watch TV? examines, from the Christian perspective, the history of television and how it has inhibited our creativity (especially when it comes to finding time or the initiative to pray).

13 short vignettes to help the Christian take a deeper walk with the Lord as well as help the curious understand how Christianity is really supposed to work. Topics include: 1. How to Avoid Positive Stinking (the title piece). Why true submission to the Lord trumps forcing ourselves to "think positive" all the time. 2. Our Conditional Love of Jesus (in 3 parts). Explores the conditions Jesus required for us to love Him. If these conditions are not met, He clearly states we do not love Him. 3. My Name is Balaam. The story of Balaam and his talking donkey from Numbers 22, told in the first ...

A multi-media presentation utilizing appropriate mood-setting music to enhance many short illustrations of how the world works with Jesus at the helm. The first part of the book are short anectdotes and teachings about the nature of the world and us. The 2nd part of this book are poems that exalt our Savior and explore our minds and environment through my worldview as a Christian. This is Vic Zarley and I am happy to present to you, if I might be so presumptious, how the world works and what Jesus does through us to overcome it. This books was written over many years and over many prayers. I ...

My wife, Eva and I, Vic Zarley, are songwriters. We each had written many songs before we met each other and continued to write songs once we were married. After our marriage, we found that often God would use each of us to write a song together. I would be working with the guitar on some interesting chord progression while humming, thinking, "Where did this come from?" and Eva would stop me and say, "I've got lyrics. Play what you were doing again." Often the lyrics are practically dictated to her by the Holy Spirit, coming faster than she can write. And then, to God's glory, a song would be ...

Shall I Pray or Watch TV? looks at the history of TV and its effect on our culture all from a Christian worldview perspective. My hope is that this book will create interest, not so much for the purpose of changing television, but more in changing our hearts. When our hearts are changed, the outer world begins to reflect that change in the choices we all make, regarding what we choose to watch on TV (or whatever else we choose to do). Our lives can become true and living examples of the teachings of Christ or they can become mere reflections of the world and its carnal ways. For those of us ...

In 2006, the author found the newly released Richard Dawkins’ book, The God Delusion at the library. Shaking his head in disbelief that anyone could think there is no God, he felt God impressing him to go through the book, writing what he thought would be a rebuttal, point by point. Both the author and his wife found Dawkins' words to be full of arrogance, often foolish sounding from the Christian point of view and predictably closed-minded. Yet, the author yearned to understand the mindset of such a man as Dawkins and had a deep burden in his heart for Dawkins’ soul. This work is a ...

It is not comfortable to be a legitimate Christian. Advanced Christianity explores what it takes to walk the way of Christ, dying to self, loving the unlovable, praying for those who persecute you, and much more. Jesus did not promise prosperity, but tribulation. He also said, "If you love me, follow my commands." To truly love Jesus, we must step into the fire, not avoid it. For the fire burns the dross, the impurities in our hearts, and allows God's hand to mold us into the image of Christ. Hebrews 12:8 reads "If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are ...

As I remembered and wrote down each step through my life, I began to see a wonderful pattern as a powerful and awesome God was at work in my life. I pray that my circular journey is interesting and helpful as I take you from my Christian roots, as a child, to the outer fringes during my teen and young adult years, until finally, I return, Prodigal Child, back into my Father's arms. I've always had a strong love for God. He ...
