Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Mays convincingly argues that the declaration "The Lord reigns" is not only a statement of faith but a statement of a particular worldview: that is, there is a God, and all of reality can be understood only in terms of God and God's sovereignty. By addressing the importance of the language associated with the reign of God as expressed in the Psalms, The Lord Reigns offers a way to better understand the relationship between God and creation.

Book excerpt: MILLENNIUM: THE LORD REIGNS begins with a Prologue titled "Crashing Down." Like my previous novel, THE END OF DAYS, it is set in the final weeks of the current era when the Lord''s prophesied end-time judgments are falling upon the decimated world that has just been ruled by the Antichrist, the European-born Emperor Andre, for three and a half years. In the first paragraphs, the new Freedom Tower in lower Manhattan is among the many things described as literally crashing down to the earth, bringing instant emotion to readers worldwide who vividly recall the terror attacks of 9/11 over ten years ago. A young mother in Newark NJ desperately attempts to save her baby boy from the tremendous upheaval all around her, finally being forced to quickly place him in her parent''s oven as an intense earthquake shakes the area. She is killed in the quake, but not the baby, rescued by the family maid. He then disappears from the novel until discovered by his grandparents and other saints--living contentedly in their glorified bodies--in chapter eight. Named Yourgos Kirintelos, he later goes on to become an international singing star and a major protagonist who fathers the evil man destined to lead the final worldwide rebellion against the Lord''s millennial rule, foretold in Revelation 20. Kirintelos produces the child with another major protagonist, Donna Svenson, the human sister of Sarah Goldman (who features with her son Benny as the main redeemed characters in the story, Sarah was also the heroine of my first novel). The dramatic clash between the rebellious Donna, also introduced in End of Days, and her sister Sarah, who runs the Jerusalem medical system under the authority of Prince David (King David, who governs Israel under Yeshua''s overall authority) is a recurring source of captivating tension and action throughout the novel. The contrast between the ever-rejoicing redeemed saints living in their unchanging eternal bodies and the constantly expanding human race, decaying and still prone to sin, keeps the story exciting throughout, while also serving as an evangelical tool that shows the "benefits" of surrendering one''s life to the Lord in this current era. In the end, Donna accepts the Lord''s gift of eternal life, but only on her deathbed as an elderly woman. Before that, her licentious affair with Yourgos, who is married, is vividly portrayed, but in a way that Christian parent''s will find acceptable for teenage readers. Sarah''s struggles with Donna allows the novel to demonstrate that the saints, while blissfully redeemed, still experience the full range of human emotions, as hinted at by various scriptures which tell us God Himself can sometimes be angry, jealous of false gods, loving, forgiving, upset, etc. This human-redeemed contrast is also portrayed with great intensity in the final chapters of the novel as Benny--serving as a Justice Minister in a Greek Isles millennial province--takes on his Aunt Donna''s son in the ultimate clash of history. The novel then ends with the Great White Throne Judgment as the current heaven and earth are dissolved, making way for the new heavens and earth to appear, with the New Jerusalem at its center. Backing up to Chapter One of MILLENNIUM: THE LORD REIGNS, we discover Sarah dancing the Jewish hora in the cleansed Jerusalem Temple with her previous era husband Jonathan, their now young adult-looking children Benny and Tali, many of their close believing friends from my first novel, and several biblical characters who also appeared in the companion novel, along with a few who did not. I carefully re-introduce each character so that if someone has not read End of Days, or did so many years ago (first published by Baker/Revell in 1995 with an expanded edition by 21st Century Press in 2005), they will know who each of them are and their relationships with each other. Later on, I add many "details" from the previous era that were not actually included in the original novel, giving it more texture and acting to reveal more about the personalities of the characters involved. Everyone who has already read my new novel has commented that the characters are well presented and easily comprehensible even if the reader was not already familiar with them. Among the things my readers say has most moved them is the heart-stirring introduction of Jonathan''s paternal grandfather into the new novel, who we learn had given his life to the Lord after Yeshua appeared to him just as he was about to die in an Auschwitz gas chamber. This of course was unknown to Jonathan or to his parents, who are also among the glorified saints after being beheaded for their faith by Andre''s forces in Chicago (detailed in my first novel). The surprise reunion is tender for sure. Then Jonathan discovers that his twin brother, who died at birth unbeknownst to him, is also in glory, serving as a perpetual Temple priest, as is his aborted son who was conceived out of wedlock when he was a wayward teen. Later the Auschwitz victim, a former rabbi, discovers the Torah scroll that he hid when Nazi forces destroyed his synagogue in Berlin on Kristallnacht in 1938. The sacred scroll is actually found by Benny in the ruins of a Brooklyn synagogue that had been presided over by Jonathan''s maternal grandfather. Readers of my latest novel have found it to be well balanced between interesting details of the laws, customs, and technology of the Lord''s millennial age, which might appeal more to male readers, and the various relationships described, including a fierce struggle between two young men over Sarah''s beautiful cousin who survives the tribulation in her native California, with one of the guys eventually marrying her. Jonathan and his great grandfather and grandparents serve as provincial officials in the Greek Isles, with his earthly best friend Eli Ben David presiding as governor. Featuring the Lord Himself as the overall main character, I believe my new novel will be well received by readers everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Second Temple period and the first centuries CE, the Book of Psalms grew to become one of the most popular books of the Hebrew Bible. As a book related to David, the important king of the past, it enjoyed a prime place in both Christian and Jewish traditions. Given the ambiguous portrayal of David and his relation to the psalms in the Hebrew Bible itself, it is not surprising that the continuous interaction with psalms over time also bears witness to various attempts to manage this ambiguity. As David and the psalms became related not only to Israel's historical past, but also to its eschatological future, including the notion of messianism, the emerging picture is diverse, and it has long been a subject for scholarly inquiry. This book enters into this discussion by providing new and thought provoking answers to the long standing questions. Twelve renowned scholars provide contributions dealing with material ranging from ancient Ugaritic texts to early Christian and Jewish writers, including the books of the Hebrew Bible, the literature of the late Second Temple period, and the New Testament.

Many of us believe that in order to please God, we have to be perfect. It’s an easy lie to buy into. In a culture that emphasizes accomplishment and ever-higher goals, we feel driven to do more, achieve more, be more. And we get caught up in the unforgiving treadmill of self-imposed rules, believing that we should, we need to, we must. The result? Anger, frustration, and anxiety that keep us far away from the life of peace that Jesus promised. For years, Sandra McCollom lived in this trap. Finally worn out from striving for perfection but constantly feeling like a failure, one day she prayed in desperation, begging God for help. God answered Sandra by setting her on a life-changing journey to discover the riches of His grace. In I Tried Until I Almost Died, Sandra shares how she left behind her burden of anxiety and fear and shows you how to experience for yourself the freedom of trusting solely in the perfecting power of God’s grace.

Miller explores what the psalms can teach us about God, our relationship to God, and what God wants for us. He tackles over a dozen of the most beloved psalms that explore themes of God's existence; creation and redemption; praise and thanksgiving; and grace, mercy, and justice. He approaches the material in various ways, sometimes focusing on what a particular psalm can tell us, other times examining one theme that flows through several psalms. Miller offers a fresh reading of the psalms that will help the reader better understand God in worship and prayer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't let the devil steal from you any longer! TAKE CONTROL This book will show you: • God’s Love for you • God’s Plans for you • How to send the enemy running • How to communicate with God • How to receive all God’s promises ■ Prosperity ■ Health and healing ■ Confidant success ■ Soul control (mind, will and emotions) In the beginning of my ministry, the Lord taught me His principles in such a simple and understanding way that it blew my mind. I sometimes would question Him in prayer to make sure I was understanding correctly. As I followed the simple plans the Lord revealed to me, I began having victory in my circumstances all the time, and I’m still enjoying victory today. I have been set free from all bondages, and I am planning on many more victory parties. I believe that when so many people today try so hard to get ahead, complication begins, frustration soon follows, and then they realize that they forgot the reasons for doing what they were doing (they become lost), even though they may have begun with good motives. This book is written from the principal topics the Lord taught me through the Bible, along with prayer victories we can all partake in. So whether you are new in Christ, or just need a refresher course that is simple but powerful, then this book is for you, and I believe the Lord will bless you as you read it.
