In my many years of attending Bible study, I have found that many who attend barely grow beyond the level of being fed the word of God. Many are stuck in the level of milk without the ability to handle the solid word of God. The aptitude and zeal to understand and rightly divide the word of God is absent in the greater percentage of church attendees today. Every good shepherd desires that their flocks grow in their spiritual muscle and be able to stand anywhere and anytime on their faith feet without being tossed around by wind of doctrine. However, because of various ministerial challenges, Bible-study setting may be lacking in many churches. The members may attend worship service on Sunday and other times and listen to the shepherd's sermons day after day but never have the opportunity to express their God-given ideas or ask questions that could strengthen their courage to share their faith with understanding. This book is designed to challenge believers in reading a passage of the scripture and equip them with spiritual-warfare weapon in memory verse during each Bible-study session. The individual will have the opportunity to discuss the weekly topic and questions that follow every introduction to the topic. The study guide is simply arranged to enable any believer or group of believers and families to use in any Bible-study setting. The study guide discusses various topics with supporting scriptural references to equip participants with practical knowledge and application to their Christian living. Bible Study Guide for Churches, House Fellowship, and Discussion Groups is a must-have handbook for pastors, leaders of various Christian fellowship groups, and believers who loves to grow in their Christian walk.

This is one man's journey from his childhood void of love to his lifelong search to find out if true happiness really exists. Life takes him from a juvenile life of crime to the war-torn jungles of Vietnam and on to the cold harsh streets of New York City--homeless, helpless, locked in a day-to-day battle against the world and all its evils.

This is a story of how the honest love of a child can bridge all gaps of society, no matter the color of our skin or our origin.

Do you honestly know where peace can be found? I have found it as I lived each of the pages of this book. I pray you find it here also.--Jeff Carson
