Is the modern-day Church exactly what it should be? Are pastors and various other ministers doing their job correctly for the saints of God? Have the ministers that we find ourselves under truly been ordained by the Lord? Should we put our trust in man? Is it okay to be organized, or to be under a denomination? Are all the saints of God equal in status, or even equal to the ministry that they find themselves under? Are we able to find the pattern of the modern Church addressed in the New Testament letters? Are we supposed to be rebuilding the early church, or the Temple of Jerusalem, or even the Tabernacle in the wilderness? Or, have those days already come and gone? Should we advance beyond what has already been in the past? Is the modern church building the only thing left for us this day and age? And, are the practices and rituals that we perform within the church building the ultimate goal of the modern-day Christian? Or, are we supposed to advance beyond the building to see what God may have in store for us in this vast world? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this book.

Heaven On Earth by LGLministry101

It seems like just yesterday I was saved. Not knowing what to do next or where I should go. Little by little I had to find my way and put together the lessons I was taught from different sources to seemingly lead a holy life. My supreme happiness came from when I found Jesus. Little did I know all I had to do was dwell in his heart and he would provide me with the wisdom I need and show me the things I could only fantasize about. Things like these seemed to me too precious to keep hidden, and that's when I knew I just had to share Who He is to the whole world. Visions, testimonies, miracles and more came knocking at my door leading me into a dose of Heaven on Earth. Blue Roses for My Bride series: Book 1 NOTE I am not a writer, but I do enjoy writing. I learn as I go where writing a book is concerned. So the book has a lot of flaws, typos and words may not be in the correct order. It may be a finished book but there is still lots of work to do on it. It is a draft of my process in writing the book, so please keep in mind that things will be constantly added, taken out or changed until it becomes how the Lord wants it to be. So when you do read it, please let the Lord guide you on discernment and help you to get on the right part with him. Please keep in mind that I am not perfect and I just wanna share the love and goodness of God.

My Israel by TorahLover

I was moved to write this story in an effort to educate people about God, His laws and how it caused me to separate myself from a religion I practiced for nearly 40 years. I also hope to inspire others to gain an interest and perhaps, as I have obtained, a passion for studying Biblical Hebrew. I will also uncover a centuries old conspiracy to conceal the actual name of God! Another purpose is to dispel some myths that people that leave The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leave for only two reasons; they have lost faith, or they have been offended by someone. This is not the case with me, and I believe there is a growing number of people who have left for similar reasons. I want to be clear, my intent is not to destroy the church. I do not have any animosity towards the church nor the leaders or members. I acknowledge many members and leaders of the church are truly dedicated to living the gospel the best they know how. I also have great empathy for current members of the church as just a few years ago, I was a devout member of the church myself!

Building Unified Ministries by PastorDiva

This manual provides the basic instruction followed by Biblical principles to help you to not change your Ministries but to line them up with God's will. I hope you use this manual as a teaching and building tool to accomplish this goal and give God the glory. Many times we get comfortable doing what is natural, or a way that seems easy to us; however through the creation of this manual and the many teaching series that has come from this manual I learned that easy is not necessarily God's way especially when there is no lesson learned from it. Building: The process or business of constructing something. Process: A series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. Series: A number of things, events, or people of a similar kind or related nature coming one after another. This manual is designed to help Ministries build in organization and structure. This manual also was created to help individuals within the Ministries in their spiritual process. Through this manual you will develop in a series of spiritual growth, order and unity. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." In order to get a clear understanding of this manual you must start from the simplest to the most complex. Everything created in this manual is a building tool to help you grow. You will have question in the built in workbook to help you established your growth and understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6 states in a particular order. This order is vital in your spiritual process to accomplish God's will for your life. We all have a universal will and an individual will by God for our lives.

Letters to God by csdreamer

I feel I should offer a disclaimer; this will not be a book of pretty words and flowing writing. It might even have an odd format with short stories, prayers, poems, journal entries, and autobiographical tendencies. There will be raw bits of unfiltered emotion because I have always been a very emotionally driven person prone to over-sharing. This isn't a tutorial or a teaching manual, or a guide to Christianity. It is my personal journey in discovering The Way. My ongoing path from religion to having a personal relationship with the Living God. The idea for Letters to God has been with me for years. At first, as a blog post, but that didn't appeal to me as much, for my heart has always leaned toward writing books. Then I tried sharing parts of it as short stories, but that didn't sit well with me either. Subconsciously, I've been working on this for years. Of late, the Holy Spirit keeps putting the title in my head, and I've finally gotten the message.

From Me to You by SunbeamWaterlily

*completed* Not exactly sure why I write these. Partially to remind me in hard times, and partially so I can see what I've learned and how far I've come. I decided to share them, anonymously of course. Hopefully its written in a way that can help you walk your own path and understand things from a different perspective. Inspired from events in my life, in relation to being positive, a relationship with Jesus, and Christianity itself.

How to Find Purpose and Peace: Why Am I Here? by tacocat91

Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? Why am I alive? It seems that since the dawn of time we have been asking ourselves this very question. Kings and philosophers have puzzled and theorized, and paupers and plebeians toil under the sun wondering if there's more to life. Even today we seem to be frantically running here or there trying to get the latest scoop, wondering if someone has finally figured it out. People look high and low, and they try a number of things only to still feel unhappy and dissatisfied. In my own life, the only thing that has made me truly happy and given me peace for my soul is God. He has been the chief help in combating my anxiety and depression. For me, God has been the foundation that I've placed my life around and have built my identity. I write about how I've found purpose, peace and how you can too! Jesus loves you and has an amazing plan for your life! Buckle up, and let's read about the purpose of your life and how to find real peace!

Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity by SamuelGan

Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it even sensible to believe in one? With increasing progression in human knowledge of the natural world around, there seems little reason to believe in a divine being. With this, the pressure increases on both the agnostic and Christian to abandon their search for the answer. Yet on the other front, the Christian also begins to face the rise of old enemies that once plagued Christian orthodoxy. Similar to its predecessor, this book and its compilation of themed articles addresses the issues in the logic, philosophy and thoughts of Christianity from a layperson point of view. Some of these articles serve to expand and clarify the points raised in its predecessor, and some on completely new topics. Yet unlike the predecessor, this book focuses more on the doctrine and basis of Orthodox Christian beliefs and how Christians can apply them to everyday life through articles that are once again, academic, reflective, and argumentative. Just like 'A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity', this book is the result of a single individual's search for God. It promises to be challenging and thought provoking for the genuinely open-minded and interested. Even so, the articles are at best 'arm-chair theology' and are therefore meant to be easily understood by any interested agnostic and Christian with a slow yet provocative push into the basis of Christianity and her doctrines.

Man Enough: Navigating Life, Love, and the Challenges of Modern Masculinity by DavidJames300

Man Enough: Navigating Life, Love, and the Challenges of Modern Masculinity By David James What does it mean to be a man today? For generations, men were expected to be the strong, silent type-the provider, the protector, the one who always had it together. But times have changed, and so have the pressures and expectations placed on men. Today, masculinity is evolving, and many men find themselves struggling to balance traditional roles with modern realities. How do you thrive in relationships, navigate work pressures, build meaningful friendships, manage mental health, and redefine success-without losing your sense of self? Man Enough is the no-BS, straight-talking guide for the modern man. Packed with honest insights, practical advice, and a healthy dose of humour, this book tackles the big questions men face: ✔ Why is it so hard to talk about your struggles-and how do you start? ✔ How do you maintain strong relationships (without feeling like you're failing at them)? ✔ Why do friendships fade as you get older-and how do you rebuild them? ✔ What's the key to being a great dad without losing yourself in the stress of it all? ✔ How do you handle work stress, financial pressure, and the fear of failure? ✔ How do you stay confident without falling into toxic masculinity traps? With powerful quotes from high-profile men, real-life experiences, women's perspectives, and an action plan for self-improvement, Man Enough isn't about man-bashing or telling you to "just man up." It's about embracing strength, vulnerability, resilience, and authenticity-because being a man today isn't about proving yourself to others. It's about being man enough to be yourself. Perfect for: 📖 Men who want to navigate life with confidence, humour, and purpose. 📖 Women who want insight into the challenges men face today. 📖 Anyone looking for a fresh, realistic take on modern masculinity. It's time to redefine strength. Are you Man Enough?
