Her hobbies include conversing with family and friends, playing card and board games, shopping, and traveling. Regina hopes that sharing her experience of disobedience to God's will, being emotionally abused in her marriage, and being restored by God's grace and mercy will help people who are living in that situation know that God loves them too much for them to remain in a situation in which they are being abused in any way. Also, she hopes that her experience will encourage other believers to continue in their walk, answer their calls to share Christ, and continue to grow in our Lord and Savior. Regina L. McCray was born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi. She was baptized in 1997 but truly accepted Christ during the fall of 2004 while completing her undergraduate studies at Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, Mississippi. Since accepting Christ into her heart, Regina has been on a journey inclusive of highs, lows, and all that fall in-between. Through disobedience, Regina finds herself at rock bottom and has to go back to God for Him to restore her broken pieces. If Not for God's Grace, Regina's first book, is a task ordered by God to be completed as a testimony of His unending love, grace, and mercy. To God be the glory!

The very Biblical doctrine that revealed the redemption of humankind through Christ cannot be used to justify oppression of the women. The husband being the head of the home must model the headship of Christ who is the head of the Church. Christ headship exemplifies selfless sacrifice to bring redemption to all humankind. Christ leadership does not coerce or dominate people but appeal to the willing mind to come and be filled with the water of life. The unequal treatment of women transcends geographical location and economic status. Right from the ancient age, female have experienced unequal treatment compared to their male counterpart. God created humankind to dominate, subdue the earth, to be fruitful and multiply but not to control and oppress another human being. Any treatment that violates, dehumanizes, oppresses, intimates, controls, subjugates another human being whether in relationship or society in any form or shape should be challenged. Women are to be empowered to speak out because speaking out has significantly reduced the abuse and subjugation of women. The purpose of this book is to redefine the Christian doctrine of the husband headship based on the example of Christ headship. Christ's headship models love, care and sacrifice. The Biblical doctrine of husband headship cannot be arbitrarily interpreted outside of Christ headship of the Church, which is the foundation of all Christian belief. This book offers wealth of wisdom to the understanding of the truth of the husband headship in the home. The pastoral care giver needs a clear understanding of husband headship to dispense the right counsel. The Church is the bride of Jesus as the wife is to her husband and Christ should be the example of all Christian conduct.

 A young person‿s entry into biblical views of relationships. Chastity is a word that isn‿t used much these days, but it means exercising sexual self‿control in line with the moral teachings of the Bible.

And how do we think about dating and, ultimately, marriage? David Ayers has written this helpful little book to help you think through these questions, and understand why this is such an important part of the Christian life.

God created us to be loved and to love. He couldn't have done any differently because that's His nature: "God is love" (1 John 4:8, 16). But in this fallen world, our tendency is to drift away from Him and His nature. While God's love for us is steadfast, we often resist receiving and giving love the way that God intended. Sadly, many of us have forgotten what true love is and what it feels like. True love - often referred to as unconditional love - blossoms when the giver recognizes the inherent value of the recipient of their love. Thus, it should come as no surprise that God lavishes each of us with unparalleled unconditional love. It's no surprise because who knows our inherent value better than God Himself? After all, He created us! God does not withhold His love, waiting for us to believe in Him or otherwise "get our act together." God loves us throughout our journey. Being loved despite our flaws is the very essence of what it means to be loved unconditionally. What does this feel like? ... There are infinite manifestations, but all are synonyms of unadulterated joy. And how do we respond? Do we accept God's love for ourselves, and then conveniently disregard the inherent value of everyone else? I sincerely hope not, as Jesus teaches, "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 15:12). The focus of From Love Zero to Love 360 is to survey the breathtaking topography of God's nature to love each of us, and to encourage us likewise to recognize the inherent value of every person, not the least of whom is ourselves.

We do not have a divorce problem in our society; we have a problem of people marrying for the wrong reasons and not understanding the meaning of love. This book shares what the author has learned from the Bible about love and marriage. It is the story of turning marriage failure into marital joy by doing marriage God's way. Frederick was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was raised as an only child in a culturally Christian extended family. He currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, Janet Love. At the age of fifty-one, Jesus of Nazareth came into his life, freeing him from the chains of sin and the fear of death. Having failed twice at marriage, he turned to the Bible to learn how to succeed. So far it seems to have worked for twenty-seven years. Frederick has led a weekly men's Bible study for more than fifteen years and has written this book to share what he has learned along the narrow path from Jesus.
