JesusStoryBookBibleEvery story whispers his name.

A Bible like no other, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God’s great story of salvation–and at the center of their own story too!

The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of all is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. From Noah, to Moses, to the great King David—every story points to him. He is the missing piece to the puzzle—the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle.

The Jesus Storybook Bible makes an excellent gift at Christmas, when we all remember that he is the puzzle piece that makes all the other pieces in our lives fit.

Book: Spiritual Warfare (Fighting the Good Fight of Faith) by Brian Brodersen

Posted on

SpiritualWarfareMany years ago, A. W. Tozer posed the question:

“THE WORLD: PLAYGROUND OR BATTLEGROUND?”

The Scriptures affirm the latter to be the case. All around us a battle rages, yet quite often we are oblivious to it. It is vital that every Christian understands the reality of spiritual warfare and knows how to effectively fight the good fight of faith.

In this book, Pastor Brian Brodersen brings biblical balance and practical insight to the subject of spiritual warfare.

Spiritual Warfare was written to heighten the Christian’s awareness of this spiritual battle and its reality in our daily lives. It was also written with the hope of bringing a biblical balance to a vitally important, but often misunderstood subject. My prayer is that God will use the truths herein to enlighten and strengthen His people in the fight of faith.
