title: Secrets from the Parable of the Sower
author: Matthew M

word count: 20000
ContentJesus exhorts us to study the parable of the Sower in Mark 4, “If you can’t understand the meaning of this parable, how will you understand all the other parables?” True seed is the Gospel. We find this theme all through the Bible. The substance of the soil, on the other hand, doesn't seem evident. However, the Bible describes the singular attitude of those with prepared hearts as often and clearly as it does the Gospel. You just need to know what to look for. When we understand who good soil represents, answers to many questions become clear. What is maturity? How do we mature? How do we effectively pray for ourselves and others? What do we look for in Christian fellowship? What is worship? What is good fruit? How do we endure temptations while seeds in bad soil can not? How were the first temptations designed to directly oppose a prepared heart? How do many Christian leaders pander to seeds in rocky and weedy soil? Why do so many fall away or become fruitless? The answers to these questions and more come alive once we define good soil.

word count: 91000
ContentIf history teaches anything it is that religious freedom isn’t always free and some men and women must risk all to preserve it. The year is 1777: “Yours is a cause most splendid, most noble,” Robert Aitken is told. Despite the threat of prison or the hangman’s noose if caught, Aitken is determined to print much-needed Bibles for American colonial troops, churches and families. The Royal Family alone has publishing rights to God’s Word, the British say, and any printing of the King James Bible is not only illegal but a personal slap-in-the-face to the Sovereign. Aitken’s reply: “My King is the King of kings. To Him only will I answer.” And so history is made.

word count: 40000
ContentHow to Ride A Backward Bike Give yourself permission to think differently! What if what you believed to be true was based on wrong foundational thought? Is it possible to truly grow as a person if all you ever do is add knowledge upon knowledge? Even as a person of faith, Pastor, or Christian leader! One of the great challenges Jesus faced was to teach communities steeped in historical tradition a new way of thinking, helping them unlearn deeply entrenched views forged by generations of tradition, religion and culture. Drawing on biblical principles and the experience of learning to ride a backward bike, thought-leadership expert Paul Bartlett will explain how God transforms our thinking. This profound thought of 'unlearning' will equip you to embark upon a significant journey that will help change the direction of your life for the better, whether it is in your personal relationships, vocation, faith or leadership. Paul Bartlett has spent over thirty years as a leader in faith organisations, serving his community and the author of the widely sold book Thank God It's Monday which is transforming how individuals and churches around the globe engage with their communities.

title: The Triumph of the Redeemed
author: Jonathan B
category: nonfiction • subcategory: theology • date submitted: 2.15.2021 • author id: BrJoTh2621
word count: 62000
ContentWe live in perilous times. The lawlessness and violence of our world adds to anxieties already elevated by COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. Where do we find reassurance amid the barrage of bad news that we encounter each day that deepens existing fears as the result of relationship struggles and finances? The answer remains the same as it has been for the past two thousand years: it’s the Gospel! Unfortunately, many pastors and teachers today divorce the specifics of biblical prophecy from the proclamation of the Gospel. Vague illusions to eternal life do little to inspire those in the pews or provide comfort for the stress of the coming week. The Triumph of the Redeemed fills this gap by demonstrating how a two-world perspective (see Rom. 8:18, 2 Cor. 4:17-18), based on the solid foundation of premillennialism and the pretribulation Rapture, enables believers to find relief through the biblical specifics of their hope. After describing and demonstrating the importance of such an outlook based on Scripture and my personal experience, I take the reader through a comprehensive scriptural support of the why behind this eternal perspective. The concluding five chapters of the book display the triumph that lies ahead for the redeemed because of their union with Jesus that starts with the Rapture and the receipt of immortal bodies.
About the AuthorJonathan Brentner holds a BA in Biblical studies from John Brown University as well as an MDiv degree from Talbot Theological Seminary. He served as a senior pastor for several years before pursuing an MBA degree and a career as a Senior Financial Analyst. Although retired, he maintains a blog that during 2020 received 126,000 visitors and about 20,000 visits so far in January. His newsletter currently has 3,500 subscribers and is rapidly growing. He submits about 45 articles a year to the Rapture Ready website where they receive an average of 5,000 clicks. Terry James has said he will promote the book on Rapture Ready once published. Jan Markell regularly puts Jonathan’s blog posts on her website and has told him that she intends to interview him on her radio show that’s heard on 900 stations. I believe she will be interested in hearing more about The Triumph of the Redeemed and will possibly do a show on it once it is published. Jonathan recently wrote a chapter for the book Lawless, edited by Terry James. His submission on how a creationist looks at the climate alarm of our day received high praise from Dr. David R. Reagan, who said it was "excellent."

title: No Natives Allowed
author: Jennifer M
category: nonfiction • subcategory: children • date submitted: 2.14.2021 • author id: McJeNo2221
word count: 999
ContentNo Natives Allowed, a picture book biography, is the story of Elizabeth Peratrovich, whose role in the passage of Alaska's Anti-Discrimination Act in 1945 is celebrated by Alaskans on Elizabeth Peratrovich Day, February 16. Born to the Raven Clan of the Tlingit Nation in 1911, Elizabeth experienced discrimination first-hand. As a child, it wasn't unusual for her to encounter signs reading, "No Dogs. No Natives" or "We Cater to Whites Only." As a young mother determined to shield her children from similar injustices, she and her husband, Roy, decided to speak out and work with peaceful but forceful activism against Alaska's rampant inequality. In 1943, Elizabeth joined forces with Governor Ernest Gruening to pen the Anti-Discrimination Act, which would make it illegal to bar Alaska Native people from public spaces. Elizabeth's fame, in part, stems from her compelling testimony before the Alaska Legislature, in which she slyly co-opted her opponents' words: "I would not have expected that I, barely out of savagery, would have to remind gentlemen with five thousand years of recorded civilization behind them, of our Bill of Rights." Alaska's Anti-Discrimination Act finally passed in 1945, decades before the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Elizabeth’s Christian faith guided her peaceful activism of reasoning with people and touching their hearts. No Natives Allowed is a timely story in today’s social justice atmosphere and resonates well with Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. I have communicated extensively with Roy Peratrovich Jr., the one living child of Elizabeth and Roy Peratrovich. He vetted my story and supplied photos and information about his family, the values taught Elizabeth by her parents, experiences that were common during her upbringing, and conversations and activities that were typical of her childhood and adult life.

title: Restoring Uncorrupted Shame to Christians and Churches
author: Edmund N
category: nonfiction • subcategory: academic • date submitted: 2.8.2021 • author id: NgEdRe1221
word count: 60000
ContentIn our times, more Christians are falling into sin and we have been witnessing a number of our highly-respected Christian leaders being tempted into moral failings. The Bible says that in the last days, “sin will be rampant everywhere” (Matt 24:12, NLT). Undergirding this surge of sinfulness is a subtle, emotional mega trend in which people are getting increasingly more shameful and yet more shameless at the same time. This silent rise in the level of both shamefulness and shamelessness in our societies is indeed making our world more corrupt, chaotic and wicked, and it is impacting Christians as well as our churches. Notwithstanding, God originally created us with natural and healthy shame to safeguard our spiritual and moral condition but shame was corrupted by sin at the Fall. Hence Jesus came to die for both our sin and shame. Having been forgiven of our sins, Christians must now learn to appropriate on a daily basis Jesus’ victory over our corrupted shame to sensitize us to our natural and uncorrupted shame to help deter us from further sinning and churches must learn the ways Paul used healthy shame to inculcate Christian identity and ethos.

title: What if Jesus Wrote Sci-Fi?
author: Richard N
category: fiction • subcategory: biblical • date submitted: 2.8.2021 • author id: NeRiWh1021
word count: 30000
ContentWhat if Jesus wrote Sci-Fi is a book of ten stand-alone parables. It transports you to kingdoms at war, a spaceship in crisis, and a crazy skydiving guru, all while teaching Biblical lessons. It is complete at approximately 30,000 words including scriptures and study questions, and perfect for a weekly bible study. The parables will entertain readers while presenting challenging questions. Do you just read the map or also walk the territory? Can the King find enough willing soldiers in time to save his city? Is cashing a free check work or belief? The Map and the territory, the first parable, enters a world where a country reveres the founders' brilliantly detailed map. The map shows the continent's vast territory and urges all citizens to cross the river and experience this beautiful land, though few do. Only a select group still travel into the wild territory while the rest merely learn about the map. The parable presents the balance of understanding the bible, the map, and living it out in real life, the territory. The following nine parables each explore another area of the map and territory in a fun story. The stories are modern, fun, and sometimes set in other worlds. They are meant to appeal to a wide range of readers, teachers, and disciples and to challenge their Christian faith.

title: God Speak: Eternity, Time, and the Acts and Knowledge of God
author: Robert P
category: nonfiction • subcategory: theology • date submitted: 2.1.2021 • author id: PiRoGo421
word count: 73000
ContentA fresh approach to the always contested issue of determinism versus human freedom, based on God’s works in time and space. The immutable God created this changing world as the very arena in which he chooses to act and reveal himself. Both the Biblical narrative and man-made theology speak of God in terms both equivocal and univocal. Scholastic theology focuses primarily on a priori constructs about God’s eternal attributes, plan, and knowledge. A better theology should define God’s eternal decrees and foreknowledge in light of his acts in the world. The Biblical account of God’s acts, like pronouncements of judgment and offers of grace, are primary. God in eternity is best understood in light of the revelation of his acts in time. The undefinable “intersection” between eternity and time, demonstrated in creation and incarnation, means that foreknowledge depends on real, contingent events in time, not vice-versa. Ultimately, then, arguments against freedom based on foreknowledge are circular and fallacious. An exegetical treatment of many Biblical passages supports these implications.

ContentThe Medieval legend of St. George and the Dragon is mostly nonsense. Sister Donwenna should know—she was there. Once 14, and known as Maud, she secretly raises the legendary dragon, Ellie, from an egg and knows that she’s actually sweet as a quince tart. Her cousin Alice, is no helpless princess either, but runs an entire manor and steals her father’s sheep to help the poor, and blames it on a werewolf. Maud must fight against the hero, George, whose first mission is to change Maud’s grateful happy vision of God to match his own dour one, believing he must kill a beast to fulfill a prophesy and save Maud’s soul. Maud isn’t sure if her problems start with her complete failure at lady lessons, the crush she has on a knight who probably is in love with her much fairer cousin, or the animal sorcery rumors that follow her. But when her arch-enemy, the squire Garstyn, discovers her secret dragon, she must sacrifice the life she has learned to love, for the dragon, and finally, for the cousin she has learned to love even more.

title: Broken for You
author: April Star N
category: fiction • subcategory: biblical • date submitted: 1.27.2021 • author id: NeApBr921
word count: 33800
ContentBroken for You is based on truth with elements of fiction. What happened to Jesus during the hours that He was being crucified? Most likely you have heard about the jeering crowd, the beatings, and the nails driven into His hands and feet. You have probably heard about the spear piercing His side, and the way He cried out to His Father. Now come and see how He became sin for us. Physical pain was just the beginning of His suffering. Being without sin, He took the sins of all mankind onto Himself and suffered the consequences of our rebellion against God. Can you imagine what it was like to be covered in the sins of the world? On the cross was pain, shame, guilt, and separation from God. Knowing fully the brokenness and wickedness of mankind, Jesus humbled Himself to pick up our cross, hang in our place, and experience our brokenness. Jesus knows where you are in life, and He understands your suffering because He was there with you when He was nailed to the cross on that hill called Golgotha. This is the story of how Jesus was broken for you, and how only He can make you whole.

title: Faith and Drama
author: Tamara D L
category: fiction • subcategory: biblical • date submitted: 1.4.2021 • author id: LaTaFa34320
word count: 30000
ContentFaith and Drama contains twenty-seven short plays and seven dramatic readings that were originally performed as part of a Christian theater ministry in the Middle East. The actors are young people in their twenties and thirties. They, like most of the audience, are second-generation believers. They did not have the option growing up of attending Sunday school and summer camp, as they are minority believers in a country that is 99.2 percent Muslim. So even though these are short plays, they are written to have an impact. Every piece is Scripture based. The goal is to entertain, but more importantly to teach, convict, and change behavior. As citizens of the Kingdom of God our response to day-to-day circumstances should not be informed strictly by family, culture, or national identity, but on who we are in Christ. Most of the plays are two to six minutes in length so they can fit into larger events such as church services, youth meetings, summer camps, retreats, conferences, and special events.
About the AuthorMontana Lattin spent twenty years in New York City working in professional theater as an actor, writer, and director. Eighteen years ago she moved to Istanbul, Turkey, and became project coordinator of a theater ministry.

ContentThe novel IRAS OF THE EMPIRE tells the story of one woman’s quest for the source of power and peace in a dangerous world. A servant enjoys privilege in the household of Pontius Pilate, but the villas and palaces of Caesarea, Jerusalem, and Jericho are no refuge from the casual brutality of the empire and the capricious dance of power between the spirits and the priesthood, the prophet and the king. Entangled in tragedy, secrets, and murder, Iras yearns for true power and strikes out to find its source. She seeks the remnant of her family in Meroe, the Nubian capital rivalled only by Alexandria in its splendor; there she discovers her father’s mother, a pantheon of goddesses and queens, love, leprosy, and betrayal. In time, Iras marries a successful silversmith in Ephesus, but the peaceful life she finally built is imperiled by a new religion catching fire. Is it salvation or a threat to her marriage, her wealth, and the goddess she serves? Iras’s past collides with her future, and she faces a life-altering decision as the tension between the silversmiths and the defenders of the one true God erupts into the riot at Ephesus.

- Demonstrates how closely the Old Testament and New Testament are connected.
- Answers the ever long question of “why me?" "Why do I have to feel pain?" "Why isn’t God helping me?" "Why is God allowing this?" "Why do I not feel God’s love?"

ContentSo many of us know what it feels like not to "feel it." We know what we should feel. We know what a child of God is supposed to love and hate, what is supposed to make them excited or sad. But these feelings aren't there. We wonder, where is the power to change? Where is the joy? Where is the passion? And in the meantime, we just go through the motions. This book explores what has been to me the most joy-creating, life-liberating truth in the battle to feel it again in my life, and the life of my friends. It is an exploration of what it means to be created in the image of God. It looks at how we were created to live, day to day, in an intimate relationship with our heavenly Dad. The aim of this book is to provoke thought, to encourage, and to challenge so that we can again live Feeling It.

ContentRick Warren observes, “One of the greatest problems in churches today is the perpetual immaturity of members.” Barna concludes, “Stunningly few churches have a church of disciples.” Unfortunately, weak discipleship thwarts Christian growth and mission. We need to develop strong, mature, and fruitful disciples through deep, whole-life discipleship. We accomplish this by using effective means and motivation, and by overcoming serious hindrances to it. This book provides fresh and essential insights for effective discipleship: ● Develop a concise and comprehensive understanding of the means, motivation, and goals that believers need to become and make disciples. ● Pursue inner transformation—of worldview, ultimate love, and character—along with outer change in beliefs and behavior. ● Pursue whole-life discipleship instead of focusing only on selected areas. ● Use two ignored but vital means—growing through ten circumstances of life and connecting spiritual with personal growth. In addition, we need to enhance traditional means. ● Use six sources of motivation—too often an inadequate factor. ● Expose & overcome four major hindrances: inherent difficulties, personal issues, cultural seductions, and subtle misbeliefs and micro-practices that misdirect us.

ContentImagine finding joy unspeakable through a simple hunt in the mountains. It is a beautiful crisp late October morning. With shotgun in hand, Chris and his young Brittany bird dog, Maddie, head into the mountains. Maddie’s excitement boils over as grouse season has finally begun after a long dry summer. The beauty of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and the vibrant autumn leaves teach us that there is an almighty God who created all things, therefore we are accountable to Him. As we search the mind of our creator we see that he is a loving God who desires for all mankind to be saved--and has provided a way. While hunting truth we find that personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As that relationship grows we learn His plan and His purpose through nature and through the experiences along the way. These help us grow as Christians, and by knowing His will for our lives we can find that unspeakable joy.

title: Who Told You That?

Content“Who told you that?” That was God’s question to Adam and Eve, and it is his question for the reader. Life experiences may leave us believing we are a failure, unlovable, stupid, or worthless. God asked us, “Who told you that?” This answer to that question has the power to change our lives. Was it a parent, teacher, ex-spouse, coworker? Certainly it was not God. This book invites us to examine what misbeliefs may be holding us back from a life of peace and joy in Christ. Through personal stories and examples, this book offers practical ways to recognize the lies of the world and battle them with the truth of God. The reader becomes familiar with Satan’s weapons of deceit and learns how to combat them. After each chapter, a three-step process called, “The Lie Detector,” explores misbeliefs, argues against them, and replaces them with the truth, paving the way for the Fruit of the Spirit to manifest itself in one’s life. It is not people, circumstances, or material possessions that determine happiness; rather it is what we believe about such things that matters.
