When God Says Drop It: Chronicles of my Healing
Donna Martelli
Strange and seemingly unrelated symptoms continued to plague me. My PCP told me that there was nothing more that she could do. She refused to see me anymore for these same symptoms, although nothing that she had come up with had helped in any way. Her final conclusion was that it must be stress!

The Kiss of Friendship – Ken Barnes
An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship. (Acts 9:10 NLT)
The kiss of friendship can often feel like a slap in the face. Most of us do not like to hear things about ourselves that are not flattering. The truth is that no one is perfect. At times, even our best friends need to tell us things we do not want to hear. An honest answer is a sign of true friendship.
There are plenty of yes-people to be found. Many a leader, even Christian leader, have encountered their downfall in surrounding themselves with people who only tell them what they want to hear. It is a much rarer occurrence to find a subordinate who will tell you the truth no matter how uncomfortable it may be. Flattery, though seemingly positive, is not given to build-up the person on which bestowed. Its purpose is to win favor for the flatterer. Sweet talk is quite a self-centered activity.
There is an interesting contradiction: One who is fawning over you to your face, who feels slighted, will be the first to reveal secrets about you to your back. These people always show their true colors. If their support for you doesn’t bring the self-promotion or recognition that they seek, their advocacy will turn to detraction in the blink of an eye.
Who are your friends? They may be people that make us feel uncomfortable or even irritate us at times. Messages that we do not want to hear are not from people trying to win a popularity contest. The Bible says, “Wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy” (Proverb 27:6 NLT). Discern who your friends are and accept their kiss of friendship.
For many years, Ken performed mission work with Youth With a Mission in several countries. Contact

| Radical New Covenant Bible Studies for Radical Freedom in Christ
Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross. And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity.
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time.
Running close to 5 stars with over 180 online reviews.
Recent Amazon Review:
"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus; but truth defeats lies every time and never forsakes the believer." 2-18-17 |
