Essential material for every active Christians tool box.
Jesus didn't just tell us to win souls - He told us to make disciples. Every evangelist should carry a few of these and every church should keep a few in the pastors office if we are actually winning souls and want to see them established in the kingdom.

Coupled with the use of Biblical principles, stages of development in children, this book teaches, educates and gives parents the arsenal they need to educate themselves and their families in either prevention or healing from traumatic child sexual abuse (CSA).
.
Giving the definitions of child sexual abuse (CSA) and the staggering statistics in our nation, coupled with the abuse worldwide – the abuse of children is unprecedented. Our day and age is raging with this sin against the most innocent of beings – children. Abuse comes in many forms and can be quite insidious, thus the author’s efforts focus on sexual abuse. She also gives insight into the psychiatric dynamics of a sexual predator or offender. Her book is well-rounded and an overview on the subject of CSA that gives knowledge, help and guidance as a manual for prevention and protection against such crimes.
.
As a comprehensive handbook, one can glean the contents and find out not only how to use her guide, but understand how to limit internet media and device pornography, recognize strategies of perpetrators, giving tips of what to do and what not to do – parents, caregivers and helpers can help recognize, prevent and protect children against childhood sexual abuse. This guide is an invaluable resource, offering also an overview of the main reasons for abuse (the psychology of abusers) to help readers spot unsafe behaviors, giving them a guidebook in tracking and preventing child sexual abuse.
.
With a section on educating your child on this subject, this book takes all the pieces of a giant puzzle, and even sheds light on the judicial system in relation to this issue. With different stages of age, such as birth to toddler, toddler to five, six to twelve, and twelve to eighteen, the author has broken down the different stages of growth, exposing the different levels of opportunity that sexual predators may use against a child at these ages, along with age appropriate environments and care providers.
.
This book comes as a highly recommended guide and handbook for parents and caregivers as well as for those dealing with such issues, pastors, police, counselors, child psychologists, medical staff, and the court system will find this information useful in teaching child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention and protection!

Reina Davison speaks to children, telling them they are “Overcomers.” This is a wonderful truth in God’s Word, as she begins the book by the definition of what an overcomer is. Opening children’s eyes to the truth of God’s purpose and plans for them, she goes on to describe God’s gift of free will. Describing Good Touch and Bad Touch; she elaborates on these two and what that can encompass. There are Good Touch people and Bad Touch people. Her book gives hope to children who have or have not experienced abuse by speaking the truth of God’s love and care for their body. She also teaches children how to prevent abuse by giving them the tools to know the difference between a healthy relationship and unhealthy relationships.
.
Writing from a Biblical perspective, yet incredibly gentle and simple, Reina Davison gives hope and guidance that exposes the darkness and sin of the enemy lurking in our lives. These people are unsafe and “No Touch” people as Reina explains. Her premise teaches children the principle of becoming “Overcomers” in Christ Jesus. This is a fantastic book that teaches wonderful and enlightening spiritual truths to children. (Note: This book just may encourage adults as well; teaching them that they are overcomers!) I personally enjoyed the uplifting truths to her book and thought…I wish I had a book such as this when I was a child. You will be delighted by this book as well.
.
As a guidebook, this book teaches parents, caregivers, family members, etc., to understand what safe behavior is in and out of the home. Her Body Safety guide in the back provides a checklist for adults to adhere to in protecting children. With beautiful illustrations, the author sheds light on walking in the truth of God’s Word, while giving them instruction of their enemy (the devil), the Bible, and Jesus, offering hope and encouragement to look to Jesus as their help and Savior. Her book shows that God has a good plan for them and cares for them. She shares that they are Overcomers and can defeat the enemy (the devil) and that because of Jesus, they too can choose to be of Good Cheer (be happy). 
.
This book comes highly recommended for all children who need to be taught encouraging truths about God’s Word, and especially is a tool to be used by parents, counselors, pastors, child psychologists, medical personnel, and lay persons to teach about healthy sexual boundaries.  
.
To tell you the truth, this is one of those books parents should utilize in teaching their children about bad people that sin and touch inappropriately. She has given a list of resources in the back of the book, and is an advocate of ending child sexual abuse. Written with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity to children’s pure intellects, this book does a wonderful job in tackling a difficult subject.

Go With ... God, Hogan, and The Hybrid
.
Go with God, Hogan, and The Hybrid is J. Michael Meadows' first book and showcases his life experiences in the context of stories, truths, and wisdom related to golf and the role it has played in his life.  
.
The Hybrid is the most important addition to your life and to your game. "God is not who we think He is, but who He reveals Himself to be in the Bible" and "God has a plan for each one of us. Therefore, it is important that we make sure our belief system about God is rooted in God's revelation of himself and not on human speculation about God".
.
This Book is filled with dozens of stories of golf's greats―Hogan, Trevino, Palmer, Floyd and many others―who have crossed paths with Meadows as he's traveled and played life's fairways. Go with God… is humorous, nostalgic, insightful, and empowering. 
.
The author, who has escorted hundreds of golfers to Scotland and Ireland with his Golf in the Kingdom tour and golf travel company, shares numerous insights from a lifetime in business and golf. Readers will enjoy and come to embrace his Southern style (and -isms), as well as the family, faith, and systematic foundations upon which he has built a rich and rewarding life. Whether it's stories about Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and their impact on the game of golf, Meadows' founding The U.S. Screen Door Open Golf Championship, corporate life with IBM, Xerox, and Exxon, and life as an entrepreneur, readers will be engaged and entertained.
.
Meadows shares personal successes and failures as well as some truths of mental attitude dynamics and spirituality that have sustained him as he's traveled the fairways of life. He calls it "living a normal life... in an extraordinary way". Everyone knows something about God but to know God is impossible apart from The Word of God, The Mind of Christ through the perception and application of Bible Doctrine from Christ, THE PERFECT HYBRID.
.
Michael Meadows is an avid, low-handicap golfer, a member of Phoenix Country Club in Phoenix, Arizona and The St. Andrews Golf Club in Scotland. Golf and business have taken him around the world and were the foundations for hisencounterswith legendary golfers like Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and many others. Go with God, Hogan, and The Hybrid is Meadows’ first book and, in a style all his own, he shares the truths and wisdom of the experiences that have shaped his life.

Pathway to Promise: Learning to Overcome by James Brunetto is an amazing short and easy-to-understand ten chapter lesson guide designed to help one learn to move forward when one has become stuck, disillusioned, disappointed, etc. in their God-given mandate that seems to be more of an impossibility.
.
Written by a pastor with much life experience and wisdom, he gives readers the tools and Biblical teaching that makes being a powerful person of faith and learning to be an overcomer attainable. 
.
The author explains that waiting for the promises are not what one is to do, but running after them and moving forward, is the 
only way to learn to overcome. This book will change and transform your life that brings eternal rewards. He encourages all Christians that each person has a life mission and God-given mandate, yet so many give up when difficulties come. His word to you in this book is…Learn how to overcome and make the promises of God a reality in your life!”
.
Encapsulated within the 10 short chapters, the author presents a “pathway to the promises” that will renovate readers’ thinking (and doing). He states that so many have given up, settled for “complacency and mediocrity”. His book offers new hope and a new life to the promises of God with such valuable chapters as: Learn to Overcome, Value the Valley, Develop a Breakthrough Attitude, Build Momentum, Learn to Engage, Learn to Move in Power, Be a Person of Faith, Be a Person of Prayer, Be a Person of the Spirit, Be a Person of Sacrifice. Readers will find this book to be a catalyst to lift them out of their struggles, enemy attacks, and disappointment that also ushers in fresh vision, focus, encouragement and hope that lead to mission and ministry coming into fruition.
.
I cannot recommend this book enough! Aspects of prayer, faith, and holiness shed light on a surprising read that includes such powerful lessons, insights and treasures from the Bible. He teaches from experience and assists readers to help them grab onto God, gain momentum in God’s ways and His promises. Hope and faith come alive. Such Biblical heroes bring great hope and faith, such as: David, Apostle Paul, the Disciples, all springing forth from the ministry of Jesus.  
.
Throughout his book, the author has given the roadmap to “failure is not an option.” And within such, revealing the nature of Satan and his temptations, as a mere twisting of the truth…bringing in deception. He makes an eye-opening statement in the later chapter, “Every temptation is Satan’s invitation to do things your own way instead of God’s way.” This is an incredible statement for those who would be willing to apply understanding. Within that, he offers snapshots and a chapter in the book revealing the enemy’s tactics as the “Tempter” and “Accuser of the Brethren” that showcase classic strategies of Satan, unveiling examples of compromise that are written in the Bible, so that readers can glean from these important lessons.

A must read. A supernatural thriller. A titanic clash between good and evil. An unexpected love story.  Is the concept of Hidden Thrones purely fiction? You decide. Enjoy this newly updated version of Hidden Thrones. Although the genre is Christian Futuristic the world it depicts is closer to reality than most of us want to admit. This book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by Christian principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you. Then again.

Jesus Christ The Only Truth! Jesus Christ is not just one who teaches the truth of God; He is the truth. Christ is the embodiment of the truth. Those who come to Jesus Christ have the truth of Christ. The Father is in Him and He is in the Father. Christ is the truth of God. The full truth of Jesus Christ and His deity, and His unity with the Father is incomparable and incomprehensible. Jesus Christ is the truth because He is the radiance of the Father; full of grace and truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Believe in Him and you will have the truth that will set you free.
