Jesus used gardening metaphors to communicate deep spiritual truths. He spoke of good soil, bad fruit, us as branches, and him as the true, life-giving vine.Seasoned home gardener and pastor Jed Snyder knows well the delights and frustrations of cultivating flowers, fruits and vegetables. As a happy by-product of his labor, he has also cultivated wisdom. In Everything I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in My Garden, Jed observes that our lives unfold in many ways like a garden, with seasons of sunshine and seasons of rain. We can't always control our environment, but as Jed illustrates, we can tend our gardens with care, grow deeper in faith, honor Christ more completely, and enjoy a sweet, eternal harvest."It is well-known by everyone that the teaching of Jesus was often illustrated by references to agriculture and gardening. Even for people not familiar with the intricacies of gardening, Snyder's book sheds light on important spiritual issues that we all face in our lives."-David Aikman, award-winning journalist and former TIME Magazine correspondent; multi-published author of When the Almond Tree Blossoms BIOJed Snyder (DMin and PhD, Trinity Theological Seminary) is the founder and president of Jesus Everyday Ministries and pastor of Augusta Street Church in West Colombia, South Carolina.

Paul Newton, an aging service technician with psychic abilities, is in no hurry to retire. He needs the money to take his wife on a promised trip to New Zealand. A childhood near-death event has left Paul with acute sense that there's a lot more going on, hidden beneath the surface, than others see. Michael Phelan, a former Catholic priest, had to abandon his calling due to nervous breakdowns. Now, four years into his self-imposed convalescence, Michael is unsettled and unsure what to do with his life. When Paul meets Michael by chance in a quiet country pub, Paul takes the opportunity to quiz the ex-priest on the mysteries that have fascinated him all his life. Finding an almost-willing listener, Paul expounds on his many opinions with regard to biblical events. Is Paul onto something with the theory he calls the Hallmark of the Trinity? Could there be significance in the numbers of the Trinity-how they are featured in many aspects of God's work on Earth? Can these numbers, hidden for centuries until the advent of modern computer technology, prove that God did indeed create the world and everything in it? After many years working as an electrical serviceman, Philip T. Newman is now retired and living in Rotorua, New Zealand, where he attends the Catholic church. Philip and his wife have four adult children and five grandchildren.

Steve Black''s unusual, God-ordained circumstance began when his tire went flat on a lonely road in the Nevada desert. He soon met Erinn, an ordinary, tractor-driving wife and mother with an amazing story to tell. She asked Steve to help write her it. Pulled From the Darkness is that story.Erinn told of being in the presence of heavenly warriors and demonic beings waging a relentless war for the souls of men and women. Steve''s first response was disbelief. But as he listened, then met her pastor and others in her church and community, he became convinced Erinn''s experiences were real. Would God allow someone a glimpse behind the veil into the invisible spiritual world? Erinn''s experiences affirm what Scripture teaches: Our ultimate battle "is not against flesh and blood," but rather "against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 6:12, NIV).This is one book you don''t want to pass up. It will impact your life like no other. -Rev. L. L. Wolf, Associate Pastor, Desert Life Fellowship ChurchErinn''s guardians are no doubt real angels; the angels that are here to protect and minister to our small fellowship. I hope you can follow along and in the end be cleansed by a holy presence. -Erinn''s PastorSteve Black is a grateful follower of Jesus Christ who grew up in beautiful Western Montana. After graduating from Boston University with a degree in mass communications/public relations, he settled into a position with a government contractor in the Boston area, where he has lived for nearly thirty-three years. Steve never envisioned himself writing a book, but a flat tire in the high desert of Nevada changed everything. That unusual stop became the catalyst for his collaboration in writing this book-an experience he describes as life-altering. Steve attends church in Lexington, Massachusetts.

Have you ever wondered what part (if any) science plays in the Genesis creation story? If so, The First Four Days was written for you. Physicist Delmar Dobberpuhl masterfully explains the scientific side of how God created the universe and rapidly matured it from Days 1 through 4 of the creation week. Instead of beginning with science and attempting to mold Scripture to fit it, Dobberpuhl starts his analysis with God's Word and describes the scientific processes that were involved in each step of the creation and maturation of a perfect habitat for mankind. According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, science is "knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method." As the author explains, the truths scientists have discovered about this world must be complementary and not contradictory to God's Word. In his book, The First Four Days, Dobberpuhl fills in the details of the creating and making account (CMA) in Genesis with speculation that is based on complementary scientific theories and discoveries. Furthermore, he provides new insights and answers to questions about what God did during Creation week.
