Choose to Forgive: Forgiven People Forgive People

Choose to Forgive opens by exploring the beauty and weight of grace and forgiveness—two gifts defined not merely by words, but by profound, often costly actions.


Through vivid examples of ordinary people facing extraordinary wounds, the preface presents forgiveness as a Christlike relinquishing of the right to hold another’s wrongdoing against them. The foundation for this calling is God’s own forgiveness, offered through Jesus Christ to those whose sins separated them from Him.


This divine act—stamping “FORGIVEN” on repentant hearts—reestablishes eternal fellowship with the Creator and becomes the model for how believers are commanded to forgive others.

Church: God's Gift To Us

The church is worth the struggle.


It is God’s gift to His people. It is God’s gift to you, His gift to me. And if you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you are God’s gift to the Church. As am I.


This book is written to those who have left the Church, those who are thinking of leaving, or those who have “quiet quit” the Church by still warming a pew but their mind and heart have left long ago. The local Church needs you and you need the Church.

The Grace of God Revealed in The Death Of Man

The grace of God is lavished upon His children—even when we face the scepter of death. The author shows this truth from the life—and death—of Moses.


We quote the verse, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” But do we mean it? Do we really believe it?


God reveals this great promise in the final hours of Moses’ life. It will give comfort to those who are facing their own death or those who have watched a loved one die.

Grief And Comforting The Grieving

How should the Christian respond to grief?


This book is written by someone who understands grief; not as an expert on the subject but as a reluctant participant. Grief can shatter our confidence, change our demeanor and alter our personality, but God has a purpose in our grief—both for us now and for those to whom we will have an opportunity to minister.


Grief should change us but it should never destroy us. The hope for the Christian is never to be in people and things we can lose but is to be firmly planted in the God who loves us and lives within us.
