Godly Encouragement: Medicine for Tough Days
The Big Picture - Gospel Basics
“In order to build a biblical-theological framework for understanding God’s mission, the church’s mission, and the church’s mission to the nations, one must first understand the unified biblical narrative, including its four major plot movements—Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration.” David Nelson: The Story of Mission: The Grand Biblical Narrative
The “big picture” or grand narrative of the Bible is vital in understanding the basics of the Christian faith. We need to understand why God created man, how man fell from God’s favor, why God initiated his secret plan of redemption to allow man back in His fellowship, and how (and where) God and man will spend eternity together once this restoration is accomplished.
CREATION: God, the Father, created man in order that we may fellowship with Him now and forever. Here is the WHOLE truth as to why we were created. Man was created to:
Worship God for who He is
Honor God for what He owns
Obey God for what He promises
Love God for what He does
Enjoy God for what He provides
FALL: Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command in the garden “not to eat of the tree of good and knowledge.” As a result of this first sin by man (also called the fall), Adam and Eve became immediately alienated from a perfect, holy God. Adam’s dominion over the world was legally handed over to Satan and they (as well as every subsequent generation) were forced to die both physically and spiritually.
REDEMPTION: Thankfully, the loving Creator who, by His just nature must punish all sin is determined to turn this sin and its consequences into good that will be His ultimate glory, through His secret plan. In the person of Jesus Christ, God Himself came to renew the world and restore His people through their faith (alone) in Him and His redemptive purpose.
RESTORATION: Thankfully, the story doesn’t end with redemption. God has promised to renew the whole world to Himself. There will be a final judgement for all mankind. Those who put their faith in Jesus will spend eternity in the glories of heaven with God, the angels, and fellow believers. All those who reject the free gift of salvation will spend eternity in the torments of hell, without God, forever.
Wars and Rumors of Wars - God's Timeline
In Genesis God declares that He created the sun and the moon for signs.
On April 8, 2024, is the Great American Eclipse that crosses over the United States on the first day of the Hebrew month of Nisan (Passover). This was the same first day of the three days of darkness that occurred during the original plagues in Egypt. This solar eclipse is a HEAVENLY sign from the Creator which will be the starting gun for a series of wars over the next several years, including the final war against Amalek which is represented today by Radical Islam - Iran and its Hamas, Hezbollah, Isis, the Islamic Jihad, the Houthis and, some of which, are already attacking US soldiers and facilities in Iraq and Syria almost daily. In this book you'll find every Shemitah Cycle and Jubilee Cycle from the Creation of the World until today.
You'll see the timing of major biblical and important historical events.

Pre-Deployment Guidebook from a Christian's Perspective
Author: Brad D. Nelson PhD
Whether you and your family are experienced deployers or first-timers, deployments are arguably one of the most challenging and unsettling experiences you’ll ever have. As exemplary of a job the military does to prepare servicemembers and their families for both the knowns and the unknowns, only God, who knows the end from the beginning, and the best and safest route for us to take, can bridge the gap between human limitation and the miraculous, from unbridled anxiety to a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Walk with me through this unrestrained guidebook as I share mine and my family’s journey from fear to faith, from skepticism to divine perspective and awe. Suggestions are provided on how to process the announcement, informing loved ones, understanding the cycle of emotions, getting one’s affairs in order, and a host of other invaluable insights. Bottom line up front: Don’t leave home without Christ!
Brad D. Nelson, Ph.D., is from Hillsboro, OH, and is a 2023 Marquis Who's Who Listee and active-duty Air Force officer assigned to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Mr. Nelson is active in his church and community, a "Big Brother" for Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America, and an impassioned advocate for improving the plight of Returning Citizens. His favorite Old Testament scripture is, "The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). Mr. Nelson and his wife (Amanda) call the Dayton, Ohio, area home.

Order your copy today! Keys to the Troubled Soul: A Self Guide to Daily Struggles by Dr. Oladapo OsuntoKun, a pastor and psychiatrist, has seen many afflicted by mental and emotional struggles. He understands people's troubles and has written a practical self-help guide to help one make sense of life’s maladies, thus offering wisdom, to include practical solutions based on years of experience, coupled with a Christian background.
This wonderful book uplifts the readers to help them in their time of need. Ultimately, the author leads readers to the “real truth” in life stating, “His name is Jesus.” Within this book, he offers keys to spiritual life in overcoming that include perspective, prayer, and meditation.
Giving readers a “how to” achieve “spiritual and mental clarity”, while also addressing practical solutions, and “steps to overcome challenges,” this book is laid out easily, double-spaced with powerful statements. Each sentence has a way of sinking in while reading with this format (instead of paragraphs) that is utilized. The author has created a book with the overall goal of managing daily stress and mental positivity while trusting Jesus and participating in daily Christian disciplines such as prayer; again, his book is extremely practical. Specific issues such as jealousy, betrayal, sorrow, resentment, despair, depression, drug, and alcohol use, stressed, or feeling “stuck”, regret, defeat, and failure produce a true self-help guide.
Discovering who you are and taming emotions, along with perspective and the inner thought life of a person fosters maturity and transformation. The keys to a positive outlook on life with the aid of functioning as a Christian, seeking Jesus, helps one become “resilient” through life’s trials.
He states, “A real knockdown” can lead to “pin-down” wherein the person is unable to arise; this is where morals, values, and character come into play. One can learn to navigate their response to unannounced calamity. How one responds is key. He continues to give the keys through each chapter that bring maturity and build character. He encourages readers to “Always think positively, the next adversity may contain the path to your success.” Failure, hardship, disappointments, and discouragements are not the end of your story, but can be flipped to a future one may never have imagined. His message is clear: It is not the end when facing adversity.
The “Take Home Summary” at the end of each chapter is especially helpful, as the author encourages readers to keep close to God, keep peace in their heart and mind, as one hears from Jesus and the Word of God for relief, strategies, and solutions.
This book comes as a highly recommended read for those that find living in this world feels more like a battlefield! This author has put a great deal of work into writing a self-help guide that includes many issues that no one on this planet has escaped. Real, practical, uplifting, encouraging, and full of sound wisdom backed by the Biblical wisdom found in Scripture bring much hope to readers. Surely, this book helps one to become a champion in life and leads to a positive mindset that is achievable.
Surely, this book can be of much use to pastors, missionaries, parents, and the next generation as they mature into adults, giving many the tools and keys to unlocking their destinies in life.

Christian Author Abraham Joseph Ajenifuja - A Must Read Book
There is a gap in our gospel that is creating an environment of division along the lines of race, class, ethnicity, culture, language, age, and socio-economic status. But deep down in the core of our being is a VIP Light that wants to shine to bring the broken pieces together. Songs have been composed about it; sonnets and poems have been written about it; philosophers have pondered on it; and prophets have spoken of it.
The cross section of humanity in all social structures of women, children, and men from all cultures, languages, and color cry for this light to shine. If this light is to break out and pierce the pockets of darkness in all our social structures (family, education, business, media/politics, arts/entertainment, government/military, and religion), God's VIP Christians will have to lead the way. When Jesus asked "Who do people say I am" Peter said "You are Christ the Son of the Living God." If we were to ask our families, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and coworkers, "Who do people say we are," would people know us as God's VIP Christians?
Check your VIP status and see the gap in your gospel and be the successful Christian God has created from eternity. The VIP Christian is first in the VIP Series consisting of the "The VIP Prayer", "The VIP Family", The VIP Education", The VIP Church" and the "VIP Business"
Finding Victory In Christ
Available at Amazon and in Kindle - Reverend Matthew Hogan writes, How to Be a Christian in Today’s World, is aptly subtitled, Shame or Fear of Failing vs. Living Confidently in God’s Love.
This sets the stage for his book that blends his own upbringing and life to shed light on ultimately God’s Word, as he and his wife came together in their faith. Growing up in the early 60’s presents an era gone by as he segways into advocating an understanding of God’s love. Admittedly, no one is spared trials and tribulations of life, as he shares intense family hardships and deaths that shaped his young childhood.
Coming from a place of deep trauma experiencing the loss of his brother and the further dissolution of his parent’s marriage, he writes a book that presents a Biblical way to understand trials, maturing in Christ, and overcoming by the Spirit of God. Full of compassion and true to Scripture, readers will find his book refreshing.
Separated into four categories such chapters as: Baby Steps, I am Loved! Churchese vs. the Word, and Walk it Out. With a Workbook section with questions in the back (6 sessions), which can be utilized as an at home personal study guide, or even within a close group setting. He addresses real life issues, feelings, and behaviors bringing a deeper faith, and reliance upon God, His Spirit, knowing we are loved by God, as he delves into the truth of the Word of God.
This is one of those books that doesn’t smooth over subjects, but helps readers understand the immensity of God’s grace and love, offering solutions for the person that has been wounded and that has dealt with trauma. He has known this all too well in his own life, and he presents an easy read that is full of encouragement.
In his last Chapter (p. 102), He states, “Like love, we can see that the ability to live a Godly life comes from God.” Further stating, “Everything about the Spirit will free us, guide us, and teach us, providing for Godly living.” He gives further instruction to readers that summarizes and shows readers the “how-to” relying on God by and through the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit. It is his firm belief that we cannot do “Christianity” by ourselves, but we “love” because God has loved us first.
A Wonderful, well rounded Biblical guide to navigating life in culture that is against “walking in the light.” Highly recommended for all, new or mature believers, also to those who want to deepen their faith. Living as a Christian requires growth, maturity, and then full reliance on God.

7 Letters of Inspirational Writings Inspired By The Holy Spirit
Dig Deep Into The Word of God - Gregory A. Booker combines 2 of his past books, Seven Letters and Inspired Writings of a Prophet for Jesus the Christ into one book for better understanding of the author’s position, his mission and mandate, but more importantly to prepare the Church for these prophetic End Times that we are living in.
Many have questions about where we are in this upside-down world. In this book you will find an easy format of 7 chapters “detailing” 7 Letters of inspirational writings inspired by the Holy Spirit that will become a vision and experience. They are not meant to replace the 7 Letters in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, as the author clearly states. He also encourages reader to “test the spirit” as the Bible speaks of to test that his writings are true to sound Biblical doctrine and teaching.
Each letter contains “key scriptures” in which he gives a study and commentary of such insights that bring understanding to each chapter. Fascinating and intriguing the author gives an overview of each letter coupled with prophetic signs and current events, all culminating in the glorious return of Christ. With such chapters as: The Necessity of the Return of God’s Chosen People, Prophecy is Alive and Well and Israel is the Key, The Paradox of the Seventieth Week of Daniel, Ten-horned Kingdom Led by the Anti-Christ, Who is Mystery Babylon? Israel Promised Redemption and the Tribulation Saints, and The Christ and His Glorious Appearance. These are exciting times, yet if you are not a believer, you will be coming upon confusing times. The book encourages all to know and believe in Jesus, the Christ. He is coming and He is coming soon!
Don’t miss this book! This is a prophetic book for the times we live in that is well-researched and written by someone who has studied the Word of God in great detail – offering us keen prophetic insight, so that all may be prepared and inspired during these turbulent times in history.
This is a must-read book for ALL! A CBM Christian Book Review ~ 10.0 out of 10.0+stars

God Reads presents Believing in God and Acting as if He Exists
Uplifting, insightful and full of Biblical wisdom, this practical book gives one the tools to keep believing in God and act as if He does exist that foster a richer and more content lifestyle with joy and happiness, knowing that God is with you and does exist.
Believing in God and Acting as if He Exists: A Response to Christian Athesism, takes a stand against a recent movement in the religious community known as Christian Atheism. These people do not believe in God, as the author states, yet conduct their lives as if God does exist. They may partake in the teachings of Christ, yet deny the existence of a God. Better known as “Practical Atheism” this philosophy is sweeping through Christian communities.
His book provides encouragement and insight that explains a dual battle taking place among some Christian believers, resulting in a practical unbelief. As a 98-year-old retired pastor and one with a D.Min. degree, as well as being a WWII and D-Day Veteran, J. Bernard gives encouragement and much wisdom to practically live as God does truly exist. This is a better way to live.
Beginning with choosing life, the author helps one come to the understanding and knowledge from a Biblical and life perspective of “why” choosing God and His ways are a better choice for life. Full of Scripture with an interactive experience consisting of pertinent questions and prayers at the end of chapters, this read becomes more of a life application and guidebook.
With a full spectrum of not only the Good News of the Gospel, the author highlights God’s plan for peace in one’s life, along with giving advice on how to resist temptation and how to live a fulfilling Christian life. Sound Biblical teachings and Kingdom principles are written in a practical way that will help one assimilate Biblical living into their everyday life. One will also come to learn that becoming Christlike in character is obedience to the ways of Christ.
With that said, this book is not a theological book, but describes through life experiences and choices, God’s way of life with Jesus is a better choice. Poignant questions also assist readers in reflection upon Scripture and their own life and perspectives that bring understanding and belief that God does in fact exist. He relates that living a life without God is futile. His book describes that a false belief in Christian Atheism and Practical Atheism is a poor substitute for the truth.
Similarly, one can look at how God works through life experiences. His book keenly states the differences of living in God versus only following the teachings of Christ without the saving transformation of believing upon Jesus Christ. He writes that God matters in everyday life. Further, he teaches that living a life being spiritually transformed reaches every area of our lives, to include how we conduct ourselves in the world, the Church, and in our relationships, even at work and every other aspect of life we may encounter.
