Faith Always Has An ObjectWhat you and I believe in is what we rely on to give us what we need and want. There are two important questions to consider: Is what (or Whom) we "believe in" capable of giving us what we need for life? Is what we think we want the same as what we truly need? Faith--Book 2 of the Upload Your Faith Series--answers questions about faith, shows how and why faith works, helps us identify weaknesses and strengths of our faith, challenges us to consider God as the ultimate source of faith, and gives insights on how faith enables us to overcome problems we face.Examples include how faith helps one overcome addictions and how faith helps one establish a positive self-identity. The goal of this book is to help readers grow in understanding and practicing genuine faith, thus becoming the person God created us to be.If you liked Faith: A Journey for All by Jimmy Carter, Unthinkable Faith by Tracie Miles, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Normal L Geisler, or Fierce Faith by Alli Worthington, you are going to love and enjoy Faith: When the Son of Man Comes, Will He Find Faith On the Earth?

Caring for Loved Ones with Alzheimer's and DementiaShe was twenty-nine years old. She had been married a mere eight months. Suddenly her precious grandparents needed her help. Equipped only with the documents provided by their lawyer, Leah Stanley navigated Medicare and Medicaid in the dark of ignorance, working her way along the tangled path of providing care for her Grandma and Grandpa who were suffering with Alzheimer's and an unspecified form of dementia, respectively. In Goodnight, Sweet, Leah explores the world of elder care where she found that making the right decision on behalf of someone else was not always an obvious choice, and along the way she discovered that not every family member shared her vision of loving the people who needed care but were instead dazzled by the notion of inheritance. At times she was able to stand on nothing more than faith in Jesus Christ, but Leah moved through one difficult day after another, until finally she was able to look back and realize that Jesus had stayed exactly where He said He would-carrying her through the dark waters so that she could survive the indescribable world of a caregiver."Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." (Psalm 119:105)

Historians grapple with it. Atheists deny it. Archaeologists are divided over it. Christians defend it. The Exodus is one of the most controversial events in ancient history. But did it really happen? And if so, what lessons should we take from it? The escape from Egypt has had a tremendous influence on civilization. For thousands of years, cultures the world over have looked on it as inspiration in their own quests for freedom. But if such an event occurred, there would be some evidence for it in Egyptian history, right? In Bringing the Exodus to Life, join author Philip Cottraux on a firsthand journey through one of mankind's oldest stories. Breaking the book of Exodus down verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, you'll learn the truth about when in history this amazing event took place and see the evidence firsthand. You'll see how it connects with other events in the Bible for the big picture of God's ultimate plans for mankind. From the controversy surrounding Moses' birth, to his encounter with God at the burning bush, to the terror that filled the Egyptian skies during the tenth plague, to the Ten Commandments being given on Mount Sinai, this comprehensive study of the second book in the Bible will change the way you look at the Word of God forever! Did the Exodus really happen? Decide for yourself.

Just a high school student, Deborah dreamed of escaping her hostile home environment and seeing the world. A handsome senior provided that escape. After almost five years of marriage and the birth of their two daughters, they divorced. Determined to support her young girls and be successful in a male-dominated utility industry, she was a trailblazer with significant and unique challenges. Ultimately these challenges and her determination for success led to two untimely pregnancies, which she chose to end by abortion.In the years that followed, the sacrifices Deborah had made on her self-centered, destructive path became too much to bear. She learned that each decision she made had far-reaching consequences and that the only healing for the pain and shame she endured as a result of ending two pregnancies was through God's abundant grace. This true story offers hope for the psychological effects of abortion and encourages life-affirming options for others in a similar, unplanned situation. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." (Jer 1:5)

"… My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Cor. 12:9)God's plan for Lynette's life has been full of humor, unbelievable circumstances, heartache, triumph, and amazing provision by God. His hand on Lynette's life is evident from the very beginning, as He placed her, as a tiny adopted baby, into a Christian home. When she was a young adult, He led her into full-time ministry with The Calvary Singers, and He walked closely by her side during many, many physical challenges. Through it all, He has been her Savior, her Rock, her Comforter, and her greatest Friend.The Girl with the Zebra Leg, recounts just a few of Lynette's crazy adventures. You'll laugh and cry, but most of all, you'll be encouraged by Lynette's resiliency and very personal walk with God. Lynette's life story testifies to God's glory and grace, and displays God's abiding love for Lynette-and for you too. Lynette's prayer is that her story and Savior might be an antidote to your fear, your depression, and your hopelessness. But most of all, she hopes that if you don't know the Savior, you will consider putting your trust in Him, the Lover of your soul."Perfect love casts out fear…." 1 John 4:18ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lynette Johnson was adopted and placed by God into a strong Christian family-where she came to know the Lord.

The Signs of the Christ Teacher's GuideThe Gospel of John is the quintessential "odd man out." It is the unique Gospel among all four and presents Jesus in a very special light. The key to understanding the Gospel of John is an awareness of its purpose. John was not interested in offering a biography of Jesus. His purpose was to "prove" that Jesus was the Messiah.John accomplished his purpose by drawing attention to the seven signs Jesus tendered during his ministry on earth. By focusing on the signs, John revealed the work of God the Father through his Son. And that work advances proof of his Messiahship.The Signs of the Christ book (sold separately) explains Christ's signs and manifestations in a way that no one has to date. The reader is drawn into a world of theological wonder, the result of which is a deeper insight into this marvelous, Christ-honoring work.The Signs of the Christ Teacher's Guide is intended to be used along with The Signs of The Christ book (i.e., the Teacher's Guide is NOT designed for standalone use).
