Where is the love in the black community? Why can't our men and women get along anymore? What's really going on with our children? Have our parenting skills fallen to an all-time low? Most importantly, is there still hope for true love in the Black community, or is that just a fairy tale? The book "Temporarily Disconnected" offers a perspective on all of these things that will no doubt spark discussion, and may change the way some of us view these often difficult to understand issues. Originally published in 2006, this book was a glimpse into author Kelly R. Jackson's struggle to reconcile all these different things as he struggle with the dating game. In this 2016 Revised Edition, he's now a married minister of the Gospel. While the vast majority of this book remains unchanged, this author ends this edition with a chapter on marriage and a message of restoration. Whether you're still going through your single days or you've made it through, "Temporarily Disconnected" offers excellent words of caution and encouragement for the Black community.

One of the greatest challenges facing today's Christian is the silencing of our own voices in favor of listening to God's. This challenge is felt in the everyday life of the Christian, as well as how we have begun to operate and conduct ourselves within the church as a whole. With "An Understanding with God: Developing a relationship with God on His terms", Rev. Kelly R. Jackson offers a practical guide to resisting the desire to do things your own way, while allowing God to lead and guide you. Based on Proverbs 3:5-7, "An Understanding with God" is a powerful statement for spiritual living both within and outside of the church, delivered in a manner that Christians at any stage of their walk with Christ can receive and apply to their lives.

Has the church gotten away from making disciples? Have we become more church service oriented and less Christian education oriented? In the midst of ever-evolving congregations, have we began phasing out the true mission of the church? With "Are We Still Making Disciples?: Pushing the Church Beyond Membership and Sunday Morning Worship", minister and author Rev. Kelly R. Jackson explores these questions in an effort to move the church from a place of mere membership to true discipleship.Written to be a supplemental teaching tool for the church, this latest work from Rev. Jackson gives church leadership another source to draw from as they look to move people from the pew to the vineyard, with a goal of producing more disciples.This book also covers topics like the purpose of the church according to The Great Commission, how the world's influence on the church is hindering discipleship, and how the local church is becoming a destination instead of a launching pad into the world. "Are We Still Making Disciples?" challenges today's church to push its members beyond just being Sunday morning Christians. It illuminates the fact that Jesus called us to do more than just join the church. He called us to help grow the church. He called us to discipleship If the fire for true discipleship needs to be reignited in your life and in the life of your home church, "Are We Still Making Disciples?" is a great place to start
