“Understanding God: The Joy of Finally Hearing God’s Good and Gracious Word” from Christian Faith Publishing author Tom Cleary is a deeply personal look into the author’s journey from faith to disbelief and back again, taking on the misconceptions of what is needed to be accepted by God.

“Understanding God: The Joy of Finally Hearing God’s Good and Gracious Word”: a potent reminder of the natural connection between God and mankind. “Understanding God: The Joy of Finally Hearing God’s Good and Gracious Word” is the creation of published author Tom Cleary, a dedicated husband and father who has primarily worked within the sales and sales management field.

Cleary shares, “Understanding God is an examination of the damaging effects of thinking you need to perform ‘works’ to get God to love you, using the author’s life as a case study. This work examines the journey from faith to disbelief and back to faith by finally hearing with great clarity the good and gracious word that God is communicating to us.

“Tom Cleary was raised Catholic and explains his upbringing in that world in a way that will illuminate what it is to be raised full-immersion Catholic, with all its uniqueness and eccentricities, and under the thrall of having to perform works to earn God’s grace.

“This work also examines in detail the invidious prevalence of works righteousness in the Protestant world and how it got there, with a historical journey that examines in plain language the theological traps that led so many Protestants down this road throughout the centuries.

“Understanding God concludes with a call to return to the good news of simply believing in the radical, new thing God has done through His Son and to reach out specifically to those who have given up, thinking that there isn’t any good news to hear about Jesus the Christ.

“Understanding God will amuse, sadden, enrage, enlighten, and ultimately challenge you to accept the simple desire of God to have His children believe in Him and His love and forgiveness of us.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Tom Cleary’s new book will resonate with many who have found themselves struggling to find and nurture connection with their spiritual selves.

Cleary shares in hopes of aiding others in finding their way back to God’s grace so they can experience the fulfillment of a true faith.

New book is a metaphor about the intentional efforts one needs to make for developing an intimate and meaningful relationship with God

Over the years, F. C. Vogt has pursued truth and spirituality in numerous ways. This has lead him down various paths of learning and experience. He wanted to write about these in a way that might be helpful to fellow travelers on this journey. He wanted to leave whatever mark he could in the pursuit of spiritual formation, as it has been so important to him. Writing about them in the wide lens of faith gave him a broad context that would include all of what he considers as necessary components of a rich spiritual life.    

“Four Legs and a Stretcher: Constructing an Intentional Faith that Leads to Godliness” (published by Archway Publishing) is a metaphor about the intentional efforts one needs to make for developing an intimate and meaningful relationship with God, which Vogt considers to be the purpose of faith. A second metaphor woven through the chapters of the book describe growing in faith as a spiritual journey that can be purposefully and successfully navigated if one is properly equipped. Throughout the book, readers will find anecdotes and highlights from Vogt’s life that will make their journey of faith relevant and achievable.

“Faith is God’s method for bringing humanity into consecrated fellowship with Him. Relative to this, faith is, at its core, about the presence of God in our lives. Faith determines the degree to which our knowledge of God develops into a relationship with God. Faith measures how we respond to that, deepen our understanding of it, and change our lives because of it,” Vogt points out.

When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, Vogt answers, “God wants every part of us, but especially our hearts. And a heart centered practice of building and growing in godly faith is what I hope to convey through the scriptures, some thoughts by other writers, some metaphors that have helped me, and some stories about the personal way God has been involved in drawing me to Him. I pray that the words on these pages will speak to your heart and have a helpful effect on your perspective and understanding of your faith journey.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/839761-four-legs-and-a-stretcher

Author Bill Ricksecker returns to the publishing world with his third book

Bill Ricksecker was going through a dispute with his local church; he was an outcast, labeled a heretic and his pastor was unforgiving of him, all because of one subject: biblical forgiveness. Taking this experience and using it as fuel, Ricksecker was inspired to write “Illustrating Forgiveness: Understanding Biblical Forgiveness and Reconciliation.”

Ricksecker believes that there may be some unanswered questions about forgiveness after his first book “Desperation of Doctrinal Reformation”. Over the course of nine chapters, Ricksecker threads the needle between granting forgiveness too early and withholding forgiveness.

“Granting forgiveness too early releases the guilty party from any responsibility for their actions,” Rickecker said. “While withholding forgiveness may cause us to become bitter within ourselves.”

Ricksecker elaborates on the Old and New Testaments to guide his readers to gaining a deeper understanding of reconciliation in their own lives and biblical forgiveness towards others. He believes that today’s psychology has “warped” biblical forgiveness to be more about the offended rather than the offender.

“Society has become more focused on self rather than the concern for others,” Ricksecker said. “We have become selfish rather than selfless.”

“Liberty & Justice: Episode 1: The Flashdrive” from Christian Faith Publishing author Satta Kendor is a creative tale of twists of fate and unexpected divine intervention that will have readers racing to see just who might have the dangerous flashdrive.

“Liberty & Justice: Episode 1: The Flashdrive”: a gripping fiction with layers of spirituality, criminal dealings, and political espionage. “Liberty & Justice: Episode 1: The Flashdrive” is the creation of published author Satta Kendor, a native of Liberia who later moved to the United States and graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and political science.

Kendor shares, “Liberty and Justice is a multimillionaire church and Christian journal enterprise that is built from criminal roots. There’s a stigma that leaders of the Christian church are nearly perfect people. However, that is not the case for the first couple of the Liberty and Justice enterprise, Aminata Smith and Pastor Sahele. The first couple of the church are involved in a criminal system called the Network.

“The Network gains financial proceeds from criminal activities like money laundering and drug trafficking. These proceeds help maintain the church, the journal, and the rich pleasures of the first family’s desires. The quench to maintain the Liberty and Justice empire is strengthened when a flash drive goes missing, and all hell breaks loose.

“This particular flash drive holds critical information that the Network needs to continue its money-making criminal activities. Consequently, there is a very bloody witch hunt that takes you around the globe.

“With a multifaceted plot line, Liberty and Justice has enough drama that satisfies your reading wants, as well as makes you heed to worldly conversation and encounters dealing with sexuality, politicism, crime, and religion. Who has the flash drive? We’ll see.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Satta Kendor’s new book will captivate audiences with an interest in the divine, the political, or just classic whodunit mysteries.

Kendor spins an engaging and charismatic tale within the pages of her flagship novel.

Consumers can purchase “Liberty & Justice: Episode 1: The Flashdrive” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
