We would never think of throwing trash in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, so why do we trash our own temple of the Holy Spirit with so many unhealthy foods? In this book, Ellie offers a biblical alternative to dieting.
I find it fascinating that Jesus’ “great commission” to His followers started with the word “Go.” He had told them in the Garden the night before His crucifixion not to worry when they were drug before rulers and princes.

Bruce Cooper addresses and identifies some common sense guidelines and pitfalls that new Christians, and mature Christians can use, or avoid, in effectively witnessing to others about the reality that Jesus Christ “is” the Son of God.

Children are a blessing from God! We are thankful for their love and especially their humor. Derek shares one humorous moment when, discussing Mother’s Day, his grandson brought a smile and a laugh to everyone’s face.
When considering the great men and women of the Bible, it is unfortunate that Samuel is not as highly regarded as other biblical luminaries. We have Hannah, Samuel’s mother, to thank for surrendering her precious and long-awaited son to God’s service
