There's a spiritual war going on but we better fight! People are in need of deliverance. This war has some strongholds and many people are crying out for strength, help and peace along the way. The difference between deliverance and spiritual warfare is that deliverance is dealing with demonic bondages, and getting a person set free, whereas spiritual warfare is resisting, overcoming and defeating the enemy's lies (in the form of deception, temptations and accusations) that the Devil sends our way. There are wars in the homes, on the jobs, in the schools and inside the church. People are tangled up and caught up inside of spiritual war-fares. Our intention as Dignitaries of Holiness is to expose the false; while promoting the truth. There is an identity crisis in the churches spreading abroad throughout the body of Christ. Many people are claiming to have a Christian lifestyle, but live a life governed by the flesh.

Our walk with God is a journey, and such a journey begins with a step - to follow Jesus. These three volumes of work, carrying an easy reading writing style, take the reader on a divine journey of discovery, faith, and knowing God. As we journey with God, we embrace the rich and wondrous tapestry of the Lord's gift of salvation, redemption and hope. We are all at a crossroads in our lives and we need to decide if we are either following Jesus or following the world. Let us be equipped, let us surrender our hearts unto God, and let us be disciples of the Most High. Indeed, there is no other journey as exhilarating, thrilling or adventurous, for it challenges us to grow spiritually, to seek the higher truth, and to eventually become morally a better person to God’s glory. So let us take this journey together in His service, for in the Lord there is love, victory, joy and peace. Yes, He is a good God, and He yearns for us to know Him, to walk with Him and to enjoy for all eternity his merciful and gracious companionship.

Having shared my first booklet, ‘Genesis 3 Christianity’, with a friend, the critique I received from him was that I did not adequately offer an alternative to that gospel of ‘sins-forgiven-going-to-heaven-when-I-die’. I made a good defense by pointing out the subtitle, ‘and a Look Beyond it’, as well as having spent pages discussing a more advanced gospel description for which I used the term ‘transcendent transformation’. I felt my defense well made; but over the days the thought continued to press upon me that the critique of one form of the gospel perhaps deserved a more complete presentation of a more complete gospel message. And so we have this sequel booklet, ‘God’s Construction Plan—The Transcendent Transformation of Man—Born of the Spirit’. The structure of this booklet, the sequential developments of God’s Plans over His dispensations, is meant both to expose some common misunderstandings of believers and also to point out the always higher ways of God. May you enjoy the quest in better discovering God’s great Construction Plans for yourself, for His plans for the glory of humanity, and all for the pleasure of God!

Rice's commentary on I Kings is part of the International Theological Commentary which has as its goal bringing the Old Testament alive in the worldwide church and moving beyond the usual critical-historical approach to the Bible. It is particularly sensitive to issues of special concern to those who live outside the "Christian" West.

Glimpses of God are opportunities to recognize, with greater clarity, the presence of God in the various places, people, events, circumstances, objects, and languages of our daily life. I offer them to you as an opportunity to reflect on how much God is a part of your life, and how He has chosen to be in relationship with you, how you have chosen to be in relationship with Him, and how through this relationship, you become one of His greatest Glimpses. They are glimpses because we can miss them if we are not paying attention. If we open our heart to His love, our ears to hear his gentle whisper, our eyes to see His light, our hands to feel His hand in ours, and our feet to walk with Him, then we are growing in our relationship with our God and exuding His presence in a clear and vibrant way. I believe that it is in and through this relationship that we are able to recognize His invitation to be a Glimpse to others on our life. I believe it is then that we see more clearly His presence within ourselves. As we recognize His presence within ourselves, and strive to see it more readily in others, then we grow not only in love with our God, self, and others, we are filled with a deeper peace, a greater joy, and a sense of being beloved. If we are open to sharing these gifts with others, then we too are being a Glimpse of God to those in our family, our neighborhood, our community, our society, our church, our friends, those we encounter on a daily basis and even the stranger.

Every girl dreams of being pretty on the outside, but what about the inside? No Boys Allowed gives girls a heart-and-soul makeover. Devotions like “Million Dollar Hair” offer them plenty to think about. No girl will look at her hairbrush quite the same when she finds out how much God cares about every part of her—even the hairs on her head! And the “Fun Factoids” section does the hair-counting for her.
