PETER & ME:

Delivered from Maximum Insecurity

A testimonial/teaching autobiography by Mark MacDonald, with the Forward Written by Freda Lindsay, co-founder of Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas:

"This books is for the non-believer who needs answers to questions such as: Why should I trust the Bible? What is salvation? Why do I need to repent? Why do I have to forgive those who have hurt me?

It’s a book for the new believer, answering questions such as: Why do I need to be baptized in water? What significance would the baptism in the Holy Spirit have in my life? It’s a book for the mature Christian who, when things go wrong, asks: 'What happened, God?'"

A marriage made in heaven? One partner – until death do us part?

Is it still possible, or just a dream?

Can we have meaningful marriages that last, in the midst of a world which sees half of today’s marriages end in divorce?

YES! Marriage is still in God’s plan, and tremendous blessings and joy await those who purpose to go His way. Have you ever wondered:

• What is the purpose of marriage?

• Is the ‘Dating Game’ the way to go?

• Is there a ‘Perfect Choice’ for a marriage mate?

• If you’ve found the ‘right one’ as a partner?

• What does God think about divorce?

• Can God still make a beautiful marriage from the ashes of disaster?

Answers to questions like these, and others, are included in this book, which purposes to bring clear understanding to difficult issues surrounding marriage today.

And hope to those who are to begin one of the most important journeys in their lives.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE FAITH

Keys To Building A

Solid Relationship With God

The basic core teachings of the Bible, based on Hebrews 6:1-2. Topics include: Saved From What? Repentance From Dead Works, Faith Towards God, Baptisms, Laying On Of Hands, Resurrection Of The Dead and Eternal Judgment. Teachers like Derek Prince and Carroll Thompson also taught foundational series like this. With a good grasp of these fundamentals, believers can confidently answer any major doctrinal issues of today and share their faith.

"Wherever 2 or 3 Are Gathered In His Name", Jesus said He will be there, and this is where Christian fellowship starts - with us and Jesus first, then with as few as one other person. This book provides simple steps to grow as a Christian, become a solid disciple of Jesus, the value of small groups and how to start them.
