Yet I want it delivered to me in a simple "worker's language." Recent translations have strived toward this end and...

Understanding the Old Testament's Purpose in the Christian's Life Today
The Old Testament makes up the majority of the Christian Bible, yet incorrect teaching of its texts abounds in the church.

The three books that make up the Leadership Series were written after my friend and co-laborer in the Gospel, Jeannette Haley, pointed out that there seemed to be much confusion surrounding godly leadership in the kingdom of God. The main reason for this confusion is that many Christians consider leadership according to the worlds standards. Jesus even warned His followers in Matthew 20:24-27 that there is a vast difference between what the world...
