Book Description
Discover how obeying Jesus can be both possible and joyful. Rejoice always. "Don't be afraid." "Give cheerfully." What do we do when God's commands sound impossible? Most of us find opt-outs and excuses, or pretend we're doing better than we are. Author Jonty Allcock calls this "the madness of our lives" and "the slavery of the impossible". There is a better way. What if obedience could be a life-giving joy rather than a job, a delight instead of a duty? In this book, Jonty shows us that by facing up to the impossible commands of Jesus, we come to the end of our own will and determination, and end up at Jesus' feet. We find ourselves in the hands of a God who can do all things. Where we fail to obey, there is grace. Where we succeed in obeying, there we find the miracle of the Spirit active within us. This book takes us through four steps - I can't, I'm sorry, please help and let's go - that will help us look to ourselves less and depend on God more, enabling a spirit-led joyful obedience.

Book Description
There are a total of 613 commands in the Bible. Many do not apply to the New Testament Church, but many do. Are God's commands unreasonable? Does He really expect us to obey all of His commands? As believers, we can easily become overwhelmed-not only by the sheer number of commands we are to obey, but also by the gravity of small, yet, weighty words like "every" and "all," found in verses such as: "Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5) or "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength" (Deut. 6:5).When Jesus walked the earth, He showed us that obeying God's commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). He proved that they are doable, as we yield to Him and allow His transforming love and resurrection power to work in us. Only as we walk with Him, moment by moment, can we experience the fullness of His blessings and fulfill our life's purpose to glorify Him. Monica Burney is a pastor's wife who has served as a ministry leader in several areas of church life: Women's ministry director, children's ministry director, church secretary, and Bible memory resource consultant. She is an award-winning poet whose works have spanned several genres: author, poet, songwriter, columnist, and free-lance journalist. She resides in Northern California and is the mother of three grown children and grandmother of three grandchildren.

Book Description
The Word of God says that we are not to be hearers of the Word only, but doers of the Word. This is to say that we have to obey the Word of God. But how are we to obey the Word of God - reluctantly, casually, or committedly? The Word answers the question, when it says, "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the Voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His Commandments which I command you, that the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth" (Jas 1:22; Deut. 28:1). We are to obey the Word of God diligently, carefully, committedly, and consistently, whether or not it seems difficult. God rewards obedience and punishes disobedience.

Book Description
Young people are walking away from the church and those still in the church often struggle with indifference about their faith. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time for a revolution, a holy uprising. A riot. With passion and authenticity, teen author Sara Barratt calls on her generation to reject apathy and embrace a daring, costly faith. Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara shows teens how they can stop giving in to the status quo and devote themselves fully to Christ, following him no matter what their friends do or the culture around them does. She challenges them to give everything over--their comfort zones, their time, their loyalties, their pride--and discover that in losing control they are gaining the life that was meant for them all along. Love Riot is a battle cry from one teen to another to embrace a life of wholehearted commitment and relentless abandon for Christ . . . no matter the cost.

In this wide-ranging study, Quinn argues that human moral autonomy is compatible with unqualified obedience to divine commands. He formulates several versions of the crucial assumptions of divine command ethics, defending them against a battery of objections often expressed in the philosophical literature.

Book Description
Inability to obey God and respect His arrangements on earth is as a result of ignorance of who God is and the power of His Word. The entrance of the Word of God into our minds would enlighten the ignorant. This first publication in our series on obeying God focuses on the family, being the nucleus of the society. The clich charity begins at home is truer in the issues of this discourse than anywhere else. A disordered family is like a ship whose captain is without honor. The ripples of this disaster affect the whole community. Giving the attributes of honor to our parents and elders is commanded. It must be given to our parents or elders as it would be taken in turns as the children of today become the elders of tomorrow. It is not negotiated with conditions attached and God commands it. In their own interest, elders have the responsibility of forgiving offending young ones unreservedly and should pray for them because of their future. Consider the Benefit of Obeying God 1 explains these scriptural precepts with exquisite examples endued with amazing consistency, simplicity, and clarity. The first step to prevent or mitigate disordered society is to teach order in the family Gods own way. Honoring parents is honoring the God that commands it. There are benefits of honoring parents and consequences for refusing to obey this Gods command. This book searches the Scriptures balanced doctrine on this issue and presents it for the benefit of all persons that have the opportunity to read it. It also provides a teaching base for those who may wish to use it as a teaching tool with our permission. Hence it is beneficial to teachers, hearers of all age groups, and the society at large.

Book Description
A CHECKLIST OF NEW TESTAMENT COMMANDMENTS “As a long time television producer and host, I am required to consider hundreds of books each year for my daily Homekeepers program. No one has ever made the profound impact on my own life like Dr. Esther V. Shekher and her books, ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, Volumes 1 and 2. The first time I looked through them, I realized that she has highlighted an important “truth”, sorely needed in the church today. Volume 2 dissects the writings of the Apostle Paul spotlighting the blessings of obedience along with the consequences of disobedience. These books, uniquely formatted, are a refreshing rain in a desert of writings about earthly prosperity and “self” fulfillment. They offer a valuable Biblical resource whether used for personal benefit, a group setting or pulpit series.” Arthelene Rippy CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK The Holy Bible emphasizes that blessings of God will overtake us only when we obey God’s commandments. There is nothing more important than obeying the commandments of God and thereby receiving all the blessings of God! Some of the important topics covered in this divinely inspired book are: • How not to live in the futility of your mind • Salvation, the gift of God and not of your works • Take your stand against the devil’s schemes • Supernatural occurrences during the rapture and second coming of Christ— be rapture ready • You are complete in Christ • Walk worthy of your calling • Jesus accepts you just as you are This practical book will definitely be a blessing to all those who read it, especially to those who long for a much deeper walk with the Lord.
