What Do I Really Believe In...? Believer and Unbeliever appear to approach philosophical and spiritual discussions as debates - complete with their own individual 'code language' that, when used, creates a defensive position, a 'Belief Barrier', to be overcome before any meaningful exploration of truth can begin. Believers in God tend to begin religious discussions with a,"How can you not see it my way?" mindset.Unbelievers of God tend to approach such discussions with a,"How can you believe the way you do?" attitude....And What Separates My 'Belief' From My 'Unbelief'?This book is simply a conversation between two such people. It is not designed to prove one side right or wrong, but merely to provoke conversation. Without a dialogue, there can't be a deeper exploration of "self" in comparison to others around you. Without interaction, there can't be a relationship at all.My hope is that Believement - Breaking Through the Barrier inspires you to ask yourself what we all have difficulty understanding of others..."What is my deepest belief - what do I live for above all else?"May your quest for Believement begin here

The Answer's Been Right in Front of You the Whole Time Most of us travel well-worn paths with the expressed mission of breaking out" of the RUT. It seems to be the right thing to do on the surface; who wants to think of themselves as being in such a routine that they can not, should not, dare not veer off the trail? And You Thought "Escape" Was Your Only Option Not another self-help book, RUT Management is a fun but truthful look at the very human tendency to pursue distraction rather than maintaining the focused pursuit of long-term goals and dreams. This work addresses the constant conflict between "convention" and "change" in our lives. It examines RUT development, RUT anatomy, RUT relationships, and RUT management as tools for navigating the path through RUTs, and for DISCOVERING ADVENTURE IN THE ROUTINE OF LIFE."

Over time and especially in our twenty-first century, the church is assuming the entitlement mind-set of our culture-"God, I need help, and I believe in You, so I'll pray for the things I need. And because I'm a believer, I know the things I pray for are righteous, and You'll provide me with all the best stuff." This book is based on a discovery of my own attitudes and actions. Maybe you won't share my concern. If there is even one other who struggles with the realization that we may be living in a flawed Christian welfare state, then we need to seek understanding, correction, and healing together. Odd, I seem to be requiring things of God. Is that wrong? Am I not to pray for my needs and those of others? Am I not to ask for, even trust totally in God's provision? Is he not the One who blesses those who follow his ways? Why should my posture of reliance on him suddenly give me spiritual indigestion?

Ever wonder what Buffalo dream about. Thunder, the biggest of the buffalo shares his adventure of finding a place called home.

The World Has Come ApartIn this continuation of The Ruach Saga, all Christians are gone, their character and strong ethics are no longer an influence on the Earth. It is an age of ruin and chaos in a world of intense struggle between the rulers of mankind and God's remaining Called-Ones.When The Dark began, immediately after the Gathering-Up, no consistent communications bridge such as the Internet, radio, or television existed. Electrical and nuclear power ceased to operate at any level. Transportation reverted to horses (until they became food), bicycles, steam-driven vehicles, water travel and walking. Intercontinental exchange, even between countries, states, and tribes, was inconsistent and perilous, as were trust relationships. A new group of believers in Christ emerge called Seconds. They must survive persecution and suffering like no other generation before. This is the story of how human existence and the very the planet and itself will be reshaped in these extraordinary times.

Bronzeman is volume three of the acclaimed Ruach Saga. As cataclysmic changes in the physical world devastate what is left of mankind. A spiritual awakening pits societies and clans against one another. Who will prevail? Who is right? Who will define the morals and future faith of the planet's population?The answers are discovered and shared by a traveling journalist. But he too has enemies who would destroy his cause and so continues the competition in defining the truth through the written word.

Do we convince ourselves that we want the best for others...as long as I, the individual have better?Our isolation tactics may be blatant. Humankind has polished the societal methods we have created to position ourselves above one another in belief and social status, into fine gems, subtle and sublime. We have become clannish masters at defining cultural norms and equally as skilled at stacking the deck against those who do not match our sense of values; those who think and act even slightly differently from ourselves―the marginalized.

The approach you will see me take is not conventional. You won't see the typical daily devotional material laid out to digest. This study is based on a personal struggle in reading other daily devotionals. I've tried to bring such lessons to mind later in the same day of its reading, and discovered that I had just been mouthing or thinking the words out in rote litany. I found myself forgetting, or being distracted from the power of words and content; and by the next day's offering, yesterday's spiritual bread was nothing but a faint taste of memory.Lord, bestow to me this day, tomorrow's feeding, that I may rest and reflect in it, dwell in it, learn from it and share it with any who desire to know you and your way, better. I ask, that as I go about my daily routine, you lead me beside still waters to nourish me with whatever wisdom you choose to reveal, that I may be lead on a path of righteousness, for your name's sake.
