Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Bible relevant? Of course it is. It is the story of God's redemptive love for mankind, but is it relevant to me and the particular circumstances of my life? In Speed Bumps on the Way to Heaven, I relive my own life-changing transformational stories and then put the Bible to the test. Does it have value? Yes! Is it relevant? Yes! Each chapter, each speed bump, proves that it is. Stories of all types are found within the pages of the Bible. Marvelous, wonderful stories are there. Terrible, frightening stories as well. Many are well-loved and well-known, but many are overlooked and barely known. Do the names Tamar, Amnon, and Absalom ring any bells? Their story, for example, causes their three lives and the lives of their entire nation to irrevocably and drastically change. Few today know the story, yet it is profoundly relevant to far too many of us. Join me as I survey the Bible for its parallels between my life and its characters and themes. Stories from my childhood include, but are not limited to, those relating to mother-daughter conflicts, guilt, early failure, and young marriage. Stories from adulthood include those, for example, relating to poor health, my mother's suicide, and aging parents. They are my own Speed Bumps on the Way to Heaven. I found myself in the pages of the Bible. Will you find yourself there?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication is foundational to any healthy relationship. This is especially true of your relationship with God. Unfortunately this communication, called prayer, becomes too often a monologue rather than a dialogue. That's where Speed Bumps come in. God knows we need help in reversing this natural tendency to treat God like He solely exists to meet our needs and make us happy. So, God purposefully places speed bumps in our lives to get our attention and slow us down long enough to wake up. Speed bumps are intended to help you re-establish or repair your relationship with Him. Your relationship with God can be restored. You can go much deeper. But you'll need to learn how to maneuver around the speed bumps God places before you. This book was written to help you do just that. Mike Landry is the senior pastor of Sarasota Baptist Church in Sarasota, Florida. Because of his dramatic conversion from atheism while a student at Georgia Tech, his ministry is characterized by a passionate desire to introduce others to Jesus Christ. Mike has been married to his wife, Cindy, since 1976. They are currently learning to grandparent their four grandchildren; and they're loving it. "Prayer and intimacy with God are essential elements in the life of the believer. Mike Landry communicates the importance of these elements through several well known personalities in key passages of scripture. I agree with Mike that God wants you to spend time with Him, and when God speaks to you, He will engrave that time into your memory. By reading Speed Bumps and applying the biblical principles presented, you will grow in your prayer life and relationship with the Lord." Dr. Charles Stanley, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a bit confusing and uncomfortable to be born a Roman Catholic. Each of us certainly has a body of received dogma and moral teachings but received wisdom is quite another thing. Wisdom comes from living. Moral demands and dogmatics without reference to the individual mind and considered behavior is, at best empty and, at worst, a kind of cultural fascism. Most of us who worship regularly and identify ourselves with a particular religion are not theologians any more than we are constitutional scholars or very complete historians of our own countries. At the same time we share a set of problems and goals: How do you make practical sense out of faith and useful meaning out of Church teaching? We are as much creators of our faith and morality as we are consumers of church dogmas and morals. The goal of faith is hope, tranquility and meaning. To this end, stories need be told. "Shared stories" is one definition of family and community. The People of God can only be persons of faith who share their stories. Coping Catholic is shared stories and meditations on the Creed, Commandments and Sacraments of a baptized Roman Catholic. It initiates a dialogue within the Christian Community. It shares the life experiences of a church-going, college educated Roman Catholic and reports what he believes. It proceeds dogma by dogma in the Creed, commandment by commandment, sacrament by sacrament, and life experience by life experience. His story reports the what and explains the why. The author's intent in sharing his story is that some readers will find a foothold of hope in the story of how another person, who shares much of their experiences and education, has learned to cope with the faith and doctrine many of us were born to.

Book excerpt: In a man's life he will take a fall, but how low he goes.....that just depends. -Rancid. For me, those falls had been often and severe. There were many lows, and in those lows I had come to realize that someone very special was right there beside me. Someone who was ready to help if I'd only asked. This story or testimony is the journey of a punk rocker coming to realize who that someone was as I make my way through life. I want to engage my brothers and sisters in punk in a new way. You might feel that reading sucks, I generally do. However, I encourage you to take a couple hours out of the busy life you live and be The First Ones into the punk rock testimony. For 16 years I played drums and vocals for Chainsaw Johnny, the best worst punk band ever. Our three piece combination of bass, drums, and power chord guitar pushed hardcore punk to the extreme. After the death of our bassist Dean, the spirit of Chainsaw Johnny died too. To me, punk rock was full steam ahead and a screeching halt. After a time of re-direction, I have come to realize that we're in a spiritual battle. I know that religion often leaves a bad taste in people's mouths, but I want to share with the world of punk rock, a testimony of what happens when you take a fresh look at a man called Jesus. A look at life, through the eyes of a punk rocker.
