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!

Looking Within – Jennifer Woodley
Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.” Luke 11:39 (NRSV)
The Pharisees had their behavior mixed up. They were horrified that Jesus did not wash his hands before a meal. However, Jesus was adamant. What was the point in outward displays of cleanliness if inwardly their hearts were full of deceit? Jesus’ warning to the Pharisees was strong, and His words are still a clarion call for us today. Defilement comes from the inside alone.
Outward sacrifices to God may appear pleasing and right, and certainly make us feel good, but inwardly do we still harbor hate, greed and all kinds of wrong? God does not require our outward show of righteousness. What He asks for is a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17). Moreover, as Jesus told the Pharisees, goodness that God approves of is to do what is just, to love kindness and to walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). All the outward displays of service will not make an iota of difference if our heart attitude is wrong.
Are we following the example of our teacher Jesus, who taught us the way to have a clean heart and stand in good stead with our Heavenly Father? Only when our heart is free from sin, will our acts of service that come from a humble and pure heart, be acceptable to God. Let’s align our intentions with David who asked that God would create in him a clean heart, and put a new and right spirit within him.

| 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 |
