A CHECKLIST OF NEW TESTAMENT COMMANDMENTS "As a long time television producer and host, I am required to consider hundreds of books each year for my daily Homekeepers program. No one has ever made the profound impact on my own life like Dr. Esther V. Shekher and her books, ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, Volumes 1 and 2. The first time I looked through them, I realized that she has highlighted an important "truth", sorely needed in the church today. Volume 2 dissects the writings of the Apostle Paul spotlighting the blessings of obedience along with the consequences of disobedience. These books, uniquely formatted, are a refreshing rain in a desert of writings about earthly prosperity and "self" fulfillment. They offer a valuable Biblical resource whether used for personal benefit, a group setting or pulpit series." Arthelene RippyCHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORKThe Holy Bible emphasizes that blessings of God will overtake us only when we obey God's commandments.

Solomon put it so well when he wrote, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding" (Prov. 4:7). But do wisdom and understanding just drop into our laps, or do we have to take some sort of action to acquire them?This book will provide an amazing new understanding of Jesus's teachings on salvation and eternity, as well as other Bible prophecy specific to the times in which we now live. You don't have to fear what comes next. When you apply The Basileia Code to the prophecies of old, you will begin to unlock new meaning in the messages recorded in the Word of God thousands of years ago.Jesus made it clear that salvation is free and easy to receive. But if this is true, why does it seem there are so many mandates to follow in order to stay saved? Where do my works fit in? What is the meaning of this life in relation to eternity? In other words, why am I here? What really happens when this temporal existence is over? How can I prepare myself in this life for my place in the next?

In todays world, women desperately struggle to meet the unrealistic expectations of others and of themselves. Society tells women they can do it all, and yet they instinctively know they do not have the resources to accomplish all the demands placed upon them. Drawing on their own strength is not enough; in order to survive, women must draw on God.Sixty Days of Grace shares sixty stories from author Dorothy Ruppert, who has struggled through life and succeeded, only because of Gods grace. This grace is the prevalent theme of the Bible. From beginning to end, the accounts of the lives of biblical figures demonstrate His eternal grace. However, in modern society His grace is often overlooked.There are many challenges women face as daughters of the King living in a broken environment. Ruppert has been there, as mother, grandmother, working woman, and retiree. Thanks to His grace, she found her strength. All women can do the same, with the power of God. Its time to turn away from self-sufficiency and lean on Gods everlasting arm, because His grace is sufficient for the journey; His power is made perfect in human weakness.

A study by the Pew Research Center found that 45% of Christians read the Scriptures at least once a week. While that number is encouraging, (almost half of Christians read the Bible during the week), the study also showed some pretty dismal numbers as well-33% responded that they read the Bible seldom or never. And remember, this study was asking Christians, not the population at large, about their Bible reading. Many factors cause people to neglect their Bibles. We are often overwhelmed with life''s busyness, so it can be hard to find (or make) the time. Sometimes we just don''t know where to begin, what to do, or how much to read a day, and it''s easy to let that uncertainty cripple our Bible reading. IN THE WORD: Walking through the Book of James is Allison Myers''s answer to her own problem of finding herself neglecting the Bible at times. IN THE WORD gives readers a chance to slowly walk through the Book of James, breaking up the Scripture into bite-sized pieces in order to make it simple, easy, and uncomplicated for the reader. By asking follow-up questions and praying over the day''s Scripture, IN THE WORD gives readers a chance to think through what God has to say to them through His Word in a way that isn''t overwhelming and fosters studying the Bible for ourselves.
