If Any of You Lacks Wisdom
A 13 lesson study of "the wisdom from above"
This Bible study book focuses on the "wisdom from above" as described in James 3:17. In it, you will find a study of the attributes of the wisdom from above, its benefits, and how to obtain it. Beyond this, you will find a categorical listing of many of the Proverbs of Solomon to aid you as you strive to develop the wisdom from above in your life.

The Essence of Living Faith
A 13 lesson study of "The Faithful Hall of Fame" in the 11th chapter of Hebrews
Since “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17), the essence of living faith is taking that Word, hiding it in our hearts (Psalm 119:11) and then putting it into action daily. Some of the best examples of living faith are found in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, also known as “The Faithful Hall of Fame.” You are invited to join us in a thirteen lesson study of this monumental chapter. In it you will discover faith in the hearts of God’s people that led to amazing accomplishments on earth and blessed reward in heaven. We, too, can have this faith and, with it, we too can overcome the world and celebrate victory in eternity (I John 5:4).
Hope - Anchor of the Soul
A 13 lesson study of the Bible's teaching on hope
Who among us does not want to have hope? It is that precious commodity that lifts us up when we have fallen and keeps us going when we feel like quitting. The world's perception of hope is limited to matters of this life. The Bible's definition of hope transcends a worldly view and raises it to a spiritual level that benefits Christians both in our daily endeavors and in our preparation for eternity. Hope as it is presented in the Bible is not a mere wish or crossing of the fingers. Because it rests upon the rock-solid bed of God's Word, it is an assurance and confidence that can help us maintain a powerfully optimistic attitude while it strengthens our commitment to walk faithfully with the Lord.
You are invited to study hope from a Biblical perspective in this 13 lesson book. It has been designed to challenge you with thought-provoking questions, excite you with some of the many promises God has made to those who walk faithfully with Him, and build within you the hope that is available through greater knowledge of God's Word.

In the Lap of God - Comfort From the Psalms
A look at Psalms of comfort for the troubled heart
The writers of the Psalms faced difficulties. Whether they were dealing with persecution, loneliness, grief or even the prospect of death, they knew there was a source of comfort to whom they could turn for relief. While providing for their every need, this “God of all comfort” (II Corinthians 1:3) to whom they turned inspired these men to write of their anguish and of the strength they received from the loving Lord.
The book is divided into three parts:
- Part 1: Psalms with Themes of Comfort; an analysis of 21 Psalms
- Part 2: Individual Verses of Comfort; a series of affirmations based on verses from the Psalms, including, "I Can Learn from My Troubles," "I Can Have Confidence in God's Care," "I Can Rely on God's Word," and more
- Part 3: Personally Sitting in the Lap of God; posts from a blog entitled, "A Couple Conquers Cancer," written by Michael and Shannon Gifford in the closing weeks of Shannon's life
Those who seek comfort today can find it in the Psalms. This book looks at these Psalms of comfort from the perspective of one whose heart has been broken by the sorrows of life but mended by the power of God’s Word.
