Honesty: A Missing Key to Unlocking Intimacy with God
By Howard Dayton
Honesty is rare and important to God. Jeremiah 5:1 says, “Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honesty and seeks the truth, I [the Lord] will forgive this city.”
The future of an entire city hung in the balance and what was the Lord looking for before executing judgement on it? Just one honest person! God is still looking for honest people. Are you willing to be that one person in your family, work or community? This book will help you be that person.
Financial Discipleship
By Peter Briscoe
This book is an invitation to join Jesus in an exciting journey of financial discipleship.
A disciple is a person who has an ongoing, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ and who gladly shares what he or she has learned with others. Financial discipleship is so important because what we do with our money reflects our heart’s priorities. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also.”
A financial disciple has a clear vision; to see every follower of Christ in every nation faithfully living by God’s financial principles in every area of their lives, both personally and in their work, family and community. He or she desires to know Christ more intimately, to be free to serve, and to help fund the work of the church.
