"When A Used Car Salesman Becomes A Preacher... There Must Be A God" Second Edition is not a book on how to buy a used car and it's definitely not full of juicy trash talk about sales people or preachers. But if you are looking for spiritual food about regular folks struggling with their faith in the real world then you will enjoy reading these stories.

“A Daily Dose of Godly Encouragement: Medicine for Tough Days” provides stories, Bible study and prayer challenges in short easy to read and understand daily devotions. You will read amazing stories of people and churches accomplishing remarkable ministry. There are stories of healing and mission trips, wild weddings, surfing, the Beverly Hillbillies and Elvis.

The "Digging Deeper" series is designed for individual or mall group study that includes eight weeks of both written lessons, class guides for discussion and a video all designed to help you Dig Deeper into your Bible study and your relationship with God. "Digging Deeper" books include - "The Prayer, Care, Share Challenge," "Advent and Christmas," "A Lenten Study of the Gospel of Luke" and "Three Questions for Pastors and Churches."

"Live the Light: Five Weeks to a Life that Shines" Second Edition is a more intense Five Week study filled with daily devotions, class guides and videos all designed to provide Biblical and spiritual guidance and encouragement during these difficult times.

Paul once gave this advice to a young preacher named Timothy: “Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Spend your time and energy in training yourself for spiritual fitness. Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life and the next. This is true, and everyone should accept it.” (1Timothy 4:7-9)

One person wrote: “I wanted to let you know that your devotions hit me like a ton of bricks at precisely the right moment. Currently I am struggling with getting back on my feet after my move back home. I have had a difficult time finding suitable work. Your stories and Scripture were both fitting and comforting. No, it is not what job I have and it is not how much money I make. What is important is that this present situation in my life is a God-given opportunity for me to learn from my mistakes and grow in character and in Him. Thank you for reminding me of that.”

Living and surviving today is tougher than ever. Through the years, disagreements became arguments and arguments became increasingly divisive and violent. Christians and churches must take a stand but how? Expressing anger, complaining, talking politics will only provoke more of the same. How can we respond in a way that promotes God’s healing grace?

I pray you will receive medicine for your tough and challenging days, and I pray you will find motivation to reach out to others with that same medicine of Godly encouragement and comfort.
