Seeking Wisdom From God is a must read for anyone who is hungry for the meat of God's Word. The answers to life's questions as well as absolute truth are found in the Word of God. However, for the most part, these answers and truths lay beneath the surface of the verses and only when we seek discernment from God will they be revealed. God does not hide His truth to keep His children from finding it, but He did intentionally make deeper levels of understanding accessible only with His help. Seeking Wisdom from God is about God's promise to give abundantly to anyone who will seek wisdom through Him. God will reveal understanding that has escaped even the most learned of scholars. According to 1 Cor. 1:28,29, God's extraordinary way of revealing His truth is through ordinary people. With our advances in understanding the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with the dissecting of Scripture using historical, textual, and literary analysis, knowledge has increased exponentially. However, knowledge always increases faster than wisdom, and because of this, we have a glut of biblical knowledge and a shortage of wisdom. We need to know less and understand more.This book chronicles the results of a heart and mind that learned early in life to go to the heavenly Father for understanding. It is a personal twenty-six-year case study of the faithfulness of God, who will give wisdom to anyone who asks. Seeking wisdom from God early in the author's Christian walk did not happen because he was wise, but because of circumstances that God orchestrated for his training on how to find truth in His Word. May the different views shared in this book confirm that discernment of spiritual truth can only come from the spiritual. "Seeking Wisdom from God: A Quest for Truth is both a traditionally Christian and surprisingly revolutionary book. Using the premise that God's message is like a jigsaw puzzle, Walker reassures the reader that eventually all pieces will fit to form the beautiful portrait of God's love. He proceeds, then, in a logical fashion to take the reader through a series of scriptural concepts that build a convincing argument. The author's central message is compelling. There are echoes of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Martin Luther King in his arguments for inclusiveness and compassion" -ForeWord Clarion Reviews

The Bible is God's supreme guide to mankind. Its interpretation and revelation to the surrendered soul is the function of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Jesus told His disciples, "When He, the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth."'Make Straight the Way of the Lord' came to be written because the author was dismayed that tradition, rather than biblical truth, lies at the heart of so much of Christendom's operation and practices. Thus, a burden was placed on the writer's heart to search afresh in the Scriptures to identify many elements of church life, belief and practice that provided the pattern the Lord intended His people to follow, not only at that time, but until His return in glory.This book is in three parts which together provide guidance concerning the steps along the spiritual journey that will lead to God's ultimate will and purpose being fulfilled for individuals and Christian communities, who seek to live and to worship under the lordship of God's one and only Son, without the need of intermediaries.Jesus told the woman at the well of Samaria, "....an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:23-24.Many who come to the Lord are largely uninformed about the spiritual pathway that lies ahead of them and what exactly will be their future on their departure from this life. The writer expresses the hope that what he has been led to write will bring light into dark places and will contribute to 'making straight the way of the Lord'.

At Pentecost the Holy Spirit clothed a small company of believers with power from on high. A vast movement of God soon spread throughout the Roman world. It was God's intention that in every city and location there might be a united in love testimony to the Lord Jesus throughout the whole world. Sadly, by the end of the first century A.D. this great movement was in decline. Over many centuries the church became deeply divided until today there are countless divisions. In these last days it is the Lord's intention to gather together a remnant to bear the testimony of Jesus as it was at the beginning. In 'Well Pleasing to Him', seventeen aspects of New Testament life and practice are presented for readers to reflect on what the Lord desires from His people and how current practices fall short of what was evident among believers from the birth and early spread of the church.When we are involved in any important project or process it is vital to compare each aspect with the specifications. So it is with our lives as believers. We must regularly search the Scriptures to make sure that our personal walk and the part we are playing with others in fulfilling God's will and purpose are in keeping with His word.

In eternity past the Triune God conceived and set in motion an immense creation with man at the very centre of His plan. This plan took into account every contingency that might arise that the final outcome might be complete and perfect in every detail. This plan had as its centrepiece a bride for His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. To achieve His great eternal plan God has given a distinct contribution to be made by every believer. This book endeavours to reveal from the Scriptures the role of individuals and gatherings of His people in forwarding His purpose to its final completion at the dawn of eternity.

'The Upward Call of God' is the third book of a trilogy. Each book carries a specific message which merges into the topic of the next book. The starting point provides a comparison between the standards and practices of the church at its inception, following Pentecost almost two thousand years ago, and widespread church standards and practices today. This third book is offered to those who, like Paul, have a determination of heart that they 'may know Him', that is Jesus. Their goal is to live a life in all aspects that will be well-pleasing to Him. The source of this book is the sacred word of the Scriptures. Its main intent and emphasis is to encourage all who read to follow the Lord Jesus fully that they may be constituted as His overcoming ones who will perform His will and represent His true testimony before mankind. 'The Upward Call of God' both emphasizes the importance to the Lord of these overcoming saints and the unimaginable destiny that awaits them for their faithfulness.
