In a day when most religious leaders were known for their efforts to discredit the ministry of Jesus, there came one who earnestly sought Him. In a day when most religious leaders mocked Jesus as He hung on a cross, there came one who meekly helped bury His body. And in a day when most religious leaders felt threatened by Jesus, there came one who courageously chose to take a stand for Him.This is the story of a teacher called Nicodemus who God used to teach what it means to seek God, not only in word, but also in deed. Just as his life was a testimony to the people of his day, it remains an example to us today.There is an adage that says, "if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." Nicodemus was a humble man who willingly stood boldly for truth. Explore his story through this novella - the portion you may already know, and the rest of the story that could have been.

Most of us know the messages delivered by the prophet Isaiah, but do we know the story behind the man? Raised in the king's palace, Isaiah, unlike other prophets, was given a unique perspective to counsel kings and foretell the coming of the King of Kings.His family relationships most likely created an internal conflict for him as he delivered the difficult messages Jehovah God had for His people and their kings. Long before Isaiah ever knew the events that would unfold in his life, God had been at work in him to mold and shape him into a man to whom He could entrust this extraordinary assignment.But don't lose sight that Isaiah was a flawed ordinary man placed in God-ordered circumstances to be a follower through whom God would accomplish extraordinary things. Through this novella, you'll discover the heart and character of the prophet called to proclaim the promise of the coming Messiah.

Paul was an unlikely candidate to become the apostle to the Gentiles ... until the day he unexpectedly encountered Jesus. You are probably familiar with that part of his story, and perhaps much of what transpired in his life after that. But two-thirds of his life story is not recorded in detail, though Paul gives us some hints in his letters. Through this fictional novel, we'll explore how God may have used those unrecorded portions of his life to prepare him for the mission that was being set before him. We'll follow him from his early years in Tarsus through his final days in Rome. Throughout those years, Paul spent more time in a prison cell than we are ever told. It was a place where God continued to work in and through him. The mission never stopped because he was in prison; it simply took on a different form. Allow yourself to be challenged as you experience a story of God's mission - through the eyes of a prisoner who ran the race that was put before him - and the faithfulness of God through it all.

What does it mean to take up the cross? In this fifth book of the Lessons Learned In The Wilderness series, pastor and author Ken Winter leads us to look at the cross our Lord has set before each one of us, as we follow Him in our wilderness journey. The backdrop is the last forty-seven days of the earthly ministry of Jesus, picking up at His triumphal entry into Jerusalem and continuing to the day He ascended into heaven to sit at the right-hand of the Father. We will look through the lens of the Gospels at what taking up the cross looked like in His life, and what He has determined it will look like in ours. He doesn't promise that there won't be a cost - there will be And He doesn't promise that it will be easy - it won't be But it is the journey He has set before us - a journey that will further His purpose in and through our lives - and a journey that will lead to His glory.As you read a chapter each day, or read it straight through, allow the Master to use it to draw you closer to Him as you walk with Him each day in your journey.Pick up your copy by clicking the "buy-now" button.

Why, instead of enjoying the fruits of the land of milk and honey, did the Israelites end up wandering in a desert wilderness for forty years? Why is that sometimes also true in our own wilderness journeys?Pastor and author Ken Winter writes, "Looking back at my own life, it is easy to see where God turned me back from the land of promise to wander a while longer in the wilderness." God has given us the wilderness to prepare us for His land of promise, but if when we reach the border we are not ready, He will turn us back to continue to wander.If God is allowing you to continue to wander in the wilderness, it is because He has more to teach you about Himself - His Person, His purpose and His power. This second book in the Lessons Learned in the Wilderness series chronicles the Israelites' time as they wandered through the wilderness as recorded in the books of Numbers and Deuteronomy, and the truths that are applicable to our own lives today.As you read a chapter each day or read it straight through, allow God to use it to encourage you, challenge you and teach you as you follow Him in your own personal journey.Pick up your copy by clicking the "buy-now" button.
