Disillusioned is a memoir, a spiritual how-not-to, and a revelation of hope for experiencing God and living the message of Jesus in a bold new way. In this candid and moving story, former mega-church pastor Dan Cox shares how, after a lifetime of Christianity, he watched his long-held belief systems go up in smoke. And how, like burning a field for new growth, his disillusionment allowed him to grow spiritually in ways his old faith never allowed.Cox had erected a perfect Christian framework around his life: Overseas mission work. Pastoring a fledgling church into a 6500-member church. Building a family. But even as he seemed to have all the answers, Cox became filled with doubts about his ministry and his marriage, and deeply depressed. Facing tremendous trials and feeling a disconnect between his theology and his experience, he prayed fervently. Yet God seemed absent. Eventually, all his certainties-about marriage, prayer, the Bible, and even salvation-lay in ashes at his feet. So he had to start over again. And on that seared ground, God and his grace met him, and he began to radically reconstruct his life-this time supported by true faith.Disillusioned is an honest exploration of what happens when the answers you've grown up with-and doled out to everyone else-don't make sense anymore. Around the world, there are millions like Dan who, dissatisfied with their Christian experience, are walking away from church. This book is for those on the edges. The faint. The fallen. The desperate. The doubters. Here is a hopeful story, offering comfort and a fresh vision for a renewed and authentic life of freedom in Christ.

I commit my life to you God. All of the before mentioned blessings are my reasons for writing.

This is a book to hand to a broken teenager captured by pills, pot, or meth. This is a book for a woman from an abusive background who feels unworthy of love. This is a book to hand to a recovering addict, desperately seeking Tough, forceful, and poignant. This is exactly the Bible-study book ministers and Christian counselors have been waiting for! So very many people in the modern world are deeply broken - some are so broken that they refuse to even enter a church. Whether victims of child abuse, neglect, addiction, or sexual exploitation, these broken people, young and old, are crying out for help even as their fierce pride forces them to refuse any help that is offered. When pride is all you have, pride is what you cling too. These broken individuals have lived in hell already, and that fierce, desperate pride kept them alive even as it now blocks their progress. For those deeply broken people, this book is the answer. It speaks to the brokenness - directly to the heart of the darkness that many broken people feel with each breath, speaking with an authentic, direct message of Jesus's love and compassion. The Roque Warriors document at the first of this book grabs the broken reader by the throat and lets those individuals know that many others have been in their situation before and have found help in these pages. The Bible lessons themselves tackle the harshest issues facing people today: fear, frustration, a complete, desperate sense of aloneness, homosexuality, child sex abuse, the problem of evil, contemplations of suicide, overwhelming guilt, dark rage, unforgiving hatred, and the deeply felt need to find peace amid the darkness of one's lost soul. This book does not mince words, and the most challenging issues facing broken people today are presented and discussed herein using the Bible and, when possible, Jesus's own words.The minister or counselor should discuss each lesson with these broken ones, leading them through these pages as the broken grow stronger in their newly-found hope: their faith. Even when they read alone without a counselor, this book can reach broken people. It could be a gift for many. It will be a lifeline for some.As Christians, we know that Jesus can and does change even the most broken lives. This book, presenting Jesus's love and compassion, will help him do exactly that.

Jesus is looking Down" teaches substantially how people can clear the destruction of their sins, the gift of repentance; power of unity and also how important it is for Christians to pray continually throughout life and worship God even after having repented, when man is never clear of sin or sin approaching in whatever the means. Explanations are highlighted with scriptures from the bible along with the author's commentary. An additional inclusion consists of a short version memoir illuminating reason and actual connections to God's unfailing hand. This book inspires thought and encouragement to support a clear walk with God. As a young child, I knew that God was guiding me, revealing things to me, in visions and in dreams though I did not understand completely what was happening, I just accepted it. In 1980 I became a member of Faith Temple Apostolic Church under the leadership of Bishop Jerry McCullough. While there I taught Sunday school, did volunteer work at the state hospital, received presidency of the mother's board, and was in charge of Monday night prayer service. In 1993 I was ordained a minister, I moved to Alachua, Florida in 1995. In 1995 I became a member of St. Luke AME Church under the leadership of Pastor Walter Lassiter. I worked in the ministry along with the late Rev. Alexander Holmes. I also assisted in 12:00 prayer service. From 1998 to 2003 I worked as part of the ministerial staff with Rev. Keeton, Rev. Denmark, Dr. Sconiers, Rev. McGriff and Rev. McCaslin. Presently, I am working under the leadership of my Pastor Rev. James Watkins Jr. I also have a jail ministry teaching, praying, encouraging and giving biblical counseling to young women. I have earned a master's degree in Ministerial Theology and two doctorates, one Evangelism and the other Christian Philosophy in theology.

This book is about the missing gospel, that portion of the gospel the church has lost sight of; the biblical gospel currently not being taught or preached.It's about hope found in Scripture but missing today. Heaven's purpose, the joys we will know there, and the glorious future arriving soon. Salvation's final chapter, written by God and disclosed in Scripture. It's about the uniqueness of Jesus, what He's done for us, and what He will ultimately do for God. The joy that was set before Him that enabled Him to endure the cross. And hell's possibilities now that "the gates of hell cannot prevail against us".It's about God's purpose in making us "one with Jesus" and the power of prayer to make us "fellow heirs with him of all things". It's about life when "God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven", our service in the coming kingdom and those we will serve. Discovering this missing hope alerts us to the dangers in the counterfeit gospels popular today. You will see that even if we were to gain the whole world, it would not compare to "life after heaven".

It was a cold, dark Christmas Eve night, which is always the most magical night of the year, but it was not so for a small little puppy that was bullied by her much older and bigger brothers and sisters. The little caramel-colored puppy felt that she was not loved, and no one would ever miss her if she ran away, and that is what she decided to do. As she shivered in the cold, scary woods, something very magical happened. With the jingling of sleigh bells, the little pup was frightened but not for long. She was rescued by a kind man in a sleigh pulled by beautiful reindeer. Santa Claus scooped the pup up from the snow, saving the puppy from any more danger. Santa Claus took the little pup on the most magical adventure of her life. And it had indeed turned into a very special Christmas after all.

"Considering that the Israelites numbered 600,000 men, plus their families andlivestock, plus all the hangers-on accompanying them, we're looking at acompany of some two to three million people."More than a compendium of the Bible, this book is filled with questions about Scripture within both the Old and New Testaments and provides answers that may leave one more curious than ever to find answers to additional questions they might have. Included are genealogies about notable Bible characters like Moses and his family, when they were born, and how surprisingly old in years they were when they died. Chronologies provide a more concise look at Egypt, the plagues, the flood, and other noteworthy events. Dr. Leland includes several "You Are There" narratives, suggesting what it might have been like to have been there observing the event. He also looks at both Testaments and how they speak to the continuous conflict between God/Christ and Satan and how God's sovereignty overcomes Satan>s opposition every time.Dr. Leland has painstakingly calculated, in dollars, the staggering amount of gold it took to build the Temple. He has estimated Solomon's total wealth, including an outline of where it ended up and the value of many items associated with the Temple. With Dr. Leland's book as a companion, anyone who reads or studies the Bible will hopefully find a deeper understanding of God>s Word. He has found that questions asked, and questions answered, increase faith and bring about greater spiritual growth. The Appendices contain various charts, instructive quotes, and catchy Biblical phrases that hopefully will inspire deeper thought and provide "seed" material for whoever is presenting God's Word to others. Dr. Leland applies his knowledge and research to many biblical dilemmas in which the curious will delight.- The US Review of Books

This study of the character of three aspects of God is presented to assist the lay church person to understand and to be awed at the manner in which God deals with His creation. The book is also written to aid an unbeliever in understanding God's purpose for his life. The three aspects are the sovereignty of God, the mystery and beauty of His character; the grace of God, His modus operandi in dealing with His world; and the glory of God, His magnificence and ultimate purpose for His creation. Although sounding very technical, this book is for the scholarly as well as the everyday believer who desires to study the Word of God in depth.If we can comprehend the depth of meaning behind the fact that God is in control- his sovereignty, that he deals with us in constant grace, and sets before us a great and eternal destiny-glory, we'll be able to persevere and thrive joyfully, no matter what happens to us. Bob Lenz understands and communicates this. You'll be blessed and helped by reading the book.Dr. Mike Pocock Dallas Theological Seminary
