Beyond Heaven - A New Earth

Find new purpose and renewed faith as you gain a better understanding of God's eternal purpose for His Children in Beyond Heaven – A New Earth!  It's worth living for…

Beyond Heaven-A New Earth by pastor and evangelist, Joseph Keibler, dispels many misconceptions concerning eternal life, Heaven, Hell, the first resurrection and the new Earth that is to come.  This book is an incredible journey presenting an eternal perspective through God's Word of the glorious destiny awaiting believers in Christ.  Not only will one discover that as God's chosen people they have a calling and purpose in the Kingdom of God on Earth, but also beyond Heaven and this Earth.  One will discover that Heaven is not the final destination for believers in Christ. 

Rich with scripture, the author builds a firm foundation from God's Word, presenting to readers a challenging and thought provoking read giving concise details on the aspects of eternal life.  Engaging and informative, the author gives readers an inside look into his own life that led him to this firm stance regarding salvation and eternal life.  These eternal viewpoints and rewards are discussed in depth, giving understanding to believers and enabling one to live a victorious life here on Earth, while looking forward to the eternal destiny in the Kingdom of God. 

The glorious future with God in His Kingdom will ignite a passionate faith, birthing a stirring and awakening in the reader's spirit to look beyond their current circumstances, and propel them to find purpose and new meaning in life by looking ahead to their future in Christ.   

Joseph Keibler had a bona fide, born-again Christian experience in 1967. He has pastored two churches; taught at a Bible college; ministered in Mexico, Europe, India and China; and served as a missionary evangelist to Nigeria, West Africa. He has seen the door of Heaven literally open and God sweep fields of lost souls into His kingdom like a mighty wind, and seen and experienced miracles that few people are privileged to witness. He is now retired and spends time writing and encouraging others to find that narrow gate and straight way of truth.

He is what is described as both a literalist and an apologist. As a literalist, he believes a person should take the Scriptures literally, except where there is evidence that another meaning should be applied, such as an allegory or a parable. He believes in studying Scripture without having a predetermined belief about its meaning, and letting it speak to you, rather than speaking your beliefs into it.

As an apologist, he writes in the defense of the things that are so clear that there can be no misunderstanding of what they mean, not to put forth some new truth. Those things that remain in silhouettes will be unveiled in their proper time, when the Light of Heaven appears and makes them plain. Upon those Scriptures that are clear, he has built and defends a belief in an eternal destiny…Beyond Heaven.

Dennis Winstead, Award winning author of Southern Crosses: An African Ghost Story

Award winning author D.A. Winstead has had surprising success in showcasing his faith-based novel, Southern Crosses: An African Ghost Story, in overseas literary markets and recently has received accolades in international fiction competitions. Due to his success, we are re-releasing our review released in 2012.

See what international book lovers are reading about the author's view of grace and the three Fs of Christian life in Africa... faith, fairness, and forgiveness.

A fantastic read. This intriguing novel will keep you engaged until the very end. Traversing the lessons learned from the past, the Bible, a ghost named Mary Margaret, ancient bush rituals, history and human nature, D.A. Winstead has traced the journey of a family impacted by the Sharpeville massacre in 1960. He brilliantly encapsulates the period in South Africa that followed that fatal day many years past. Half a century later, Sarah Johnson takes the forefront as a prominent, black confident female with the American Foreign Service. She is searching for something in her life, but unsure of what that might be.

Although successful, Sarah Johnson, still feels a void within herself, but is not sure exactly what that void is. Upon her travels, she is transferred from the London office to South Africa where she will face many battles between good and evil that will forever change her and her perspective in life. In her search for a meaningful existence and in an effort to fill the void, she gains strong allies in South Africa that impact her life more than she could have imagined. She is changed internally through this alliance and through her adventure into the inner workings and understanding of post-apartheid South Africa.

This novel reads like a post-colonial Southern novel filled with tid-bits of history offering glimpses of life in South Africa while intertwining racism in the United States and comparing South Africa's history with that of the U.S. Through the use of fresh perspectives involving the novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," readers will find this book not only historically educational, but inspiring as it leads them to the Cross. This work is truly an enchanting novel to be cherished, giving hope and faith.

Beyond his knack for creating supernatural mysteries, D. A. Winstead, who has worked in American embassies around the globe, brings a special realism to his depiction of the Christian expat living abroad, always offering a fascinating and illuminating perspective into U.S. and world politics as well as the culture, traditions, and history of various lands, usually Christian lands stricken with deep sadness in their pasts. He writes with empathy for his characters and offers catharsis to his readers through the difficult journeys of healing that his characters endure. Far beyond being just thrillers, his novels create understanding of the human condition across many times and cultures.

A staunch fiscal conservative and believer in private enterprise, D.A. (Dennis) Winstead, survived working in Washington, DC, for 23 years before calling it quits in 2010. Based in Atlanta now, he plans on releasing this fourth novel in August (Dragon Bones: Two Angels Leave at Sunrise) and his fifth and final novel (Poets Wine) in December 2013.  On January 1, 2014, he will officially launch the Color Him Father Foundation, a faith-based nonprofit organization designed to strengthen the father figure in Christian families in Africa.

Your Head and Heart in your Bible Studies

Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart  by Bob Dowell, PhD 

Dr. Bob invites readers to peruse the Bible in PROSEPOE, the new and unique approach utilized in Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart.   He explains that prose speaks to the head, that poetry speaks to the heart, and that PROSEPOE—the juxtaposing of prose and poetry—speaks to both the head and heart simultaneously, thereby providing a perfect format for communicating the dual dimension of Bible narrative, its informational dimension and its spiritual dimension.  PROSEPOE enhances the head's understanding of what it hears and the heart's understanding of what it feels.

Believing his work to be providentially guided, Dr. Bob labored ten years bringing to fruition Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart. Because of length, it is divided into three parts  (Part One: The Old Testament, Part Two: Matthew through Acts, and Part Three: Romans through Revelation).  The work is interpretive Bible summary employing the new genre PROSEPOE, whereby each chapter is dually presented, first in prose then in poetry, for purposes of connecting head and heart in dual understanding.

Dr. Bob views Bible narrative as two dimensional, an informational dimension and a spiritual dimension, thus lending itself perfectly to the PROSEPOE dual interpretative format.  The spiritual dimension can be communicated more effectively through poetic mode because the poet's focus is on experience, on engaging the heart.  And is not the spirit more effectively engaged through the heart?

For example, when Jesus addresses the apostles with the question—"Who do you say I am?"—And Peter correctly answers—"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God"—Jesus replies—"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man [through the head], but by my Father in heaven [through the heart]" (Matt 15: 15-17).  As Paul later testifies, "it is with your heart that you believe"  (Rom 10:10).

Premise:  spiritual understanding comes primarily through the heart, and the heart is more readily touched through poetry, a genre known to have done so through the ages.  Thus, I submit poetry, by nature experiential, a prudent choice for communicating the spiritual dimension of Bible narrative.  Prose explains.  Poetry transports.  Together, as PROSEPOE, they connect head and heart!

Check out Dr. Bob's PROPOSE theory by viewing it in practice. For a quick sampling of Part One: The Old Testament, the chapter on Jonah entitled "The Big Fish that Swallows" is recommended; for a quick sampling of Part Two: Matthew through Acts, the chapter on John entitled "In the Beginning" is recommended; and, for a quick sampling of Part Three: Romans through Revelation, the chapter on James entitled "Faith without Works" is recommended.

Multi-published Christian author Grace D. Balogun speaks of The Great Commission

Grace Religious Books

 

Multi-published Christian author Grace D. Balogun speaks of The Great Commission that is bestowed on both men and women.  The Great Commission has been given to all who believe and are faithful. Taking from Paul in Corinthians where he spoke of the need for women to be silent, the author has written a sound biblical perspective answering many questions as to why this was said by Paul.  Giving the context from which he spoke, the author additionally presents to readers the position of women and their roles within church history.  Taking a look back into various roles of prominent women from the Old Testament to the New Testament, the author comes to the conclusion that women are not only important in the plans and purposes of God, but are to be used mightily by God.  The book culminates into discussing the Holy Spirit empowerment that is available to all and that women are to teach, preach and praise the Lord.

 

In this book you will learn Scripture and the prominent roles of many different women and prophetesses that were used by God.  This is an educational book that gives Scripture for instruction and reproof that women are to be included within the church.  Women must not be silent is the author's call and proclamation and within this all are called into the greater glory for Christ Jesus. 

The subject is controversial, but clearly through Scripture the author has given the reader fresh insight into the ways of God and how women have been used of God from the Old Testament to the New Testament.  Speaking the truth in love, the author exhorts women everywhere to serve and love God with all their heart while encouraging women all over the world to further themselves in a deeper intimacy and knowledge of God.  A very well-written, highly recommended read for those men or women that are unsure of a woman's place within the Church.

For Immediate Release - Christian author, Dale Allan

A CBM Christian Author Press Release

Award winning Christian author, Dale Allan, releases A Prayer for the Devil, a provocative fast-paced murder mystery wrapped in a thoughtful meditation on the intersection of faith and justice.

From beginning to end, this political thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat. Twin brothers Luke and Aaron Miller could not lead more different lives. Aaron, a rising political star who manages the campaign of a man many believe will be the nation's next president, embraced his father's Jewish heritage. Luke, on the other hand, honored his mother's faith and entered the priesthood. When Aaron and the candidate he supports are killed in a bombing at a presidential stump speech, the Miller family's core is destroyed. Fear of a terrorist threat grips the nation, but the FBI and the press seem more focused on the death of a presidential candidate than on the other innocent victims like Aaron. Suddenly, Luke begins to feel the lure of a vengeance that is stronger than the bond of faith.

As he falls deeper into the abyss of political intrigue that surrounded his brother's mysterious professional life, Luke is tempted to break his promise to God and reassess his own sense of right and wrong. Luke's comfortable life in Boston collides with the faraway world of the Middle East as he sets out on a journey to unravel the truth behind Aaron's murder. Will he take an eye for an eye? Luke's journey through his own darkness propels him to a shocking ending that will leave readers breathless.
