Marriage Divorce Remarriage
"Bringing to bear Pastor Tim's study and wide experience, he deals with this very controversial and difficult subject in a methodical and scriptural fashion, calling us to rethink our views. He points out the church's responsibility and care for those facing the breakup of their marriages. This book will challenge you regardless of your viewpoint on the subject." Rev. Gil Killam
For too long, extreme views on the subject of divorce and remarriage have resulted in both liberties being used as an occasion for the flesh or undue legalism that binds people with traditional chains.
This book presents a Biblical realism that upholds holiness by binding and releasing as Scripture teaches. Within these pages, practical guidelines help people caught in these life circumstances walk cautiously through healing and, in the end, continue living a positive life for Christ.
Relational Apostolic Families
An Answer To Denominational Dilemmas
"In this book, Tim Osiowy draws our attention to one of the most critical concepts facing apostolic ministry today, namely, the need to organize and multiply based on life-giving relationships. Many have struggled to find the way, and here it is! I enthusiastically recommend Tim's sensitive, balanced and important concepts to anyone seeking to understand flexible apostolic structures." David Cannistraci
"This book is a must-read for all those who are hungry to look beyond a twentieth-century paradigm for the church. Tim has astutely grasped the importance of relationships and flexibility in the postmodern era. This book is prophetic and in tune with the times, yet faithful to Scripture. It is thoughtfully upbeat, practical and brave." Lowell Sheppard, Executive Director, Youth for Christ - England and Japan

AS MY DAYS — SO MY STRENGTH
Deut. 35:25
As my days, You’ve said, so shall my strength be:
Sufficient for today is the evil for me
Help me to live each day for You, Oh Lord.
To add to its burdens, I just can not afford.
If I’ve more than one day’s load on my back,
I’ll be discouraged; sufficient strength I’ll lack.
But if I’ll only today’s load carry,
I’ll know Your strength and grace. I can be merry.
Teach me to number my days and be wise;
to know that Your promise of strength to me applies.
If I’ll leave past failures, and future fears with Thee;
I’ll find Your strength for today’s load is sufficient for me.
My Heart's Cry
Mrs. Diane Davis has written a Christian non-fiction book about her two years teaching in a rural school in Kenya, East Africa. Learn from this glimpse into relatively short-term missionary work.
"My Heart's Cry relates my experiences as a missionary teacher in Kenya, East Africa. It portrays the joys, the struggles, and some of the inner turmoil of reaching others for the Lord when their hearts are hardened, and carrying the burden of the lost without losing heart in sharing. It also reveals how difficult it is to leave the work behind, knowing there is no one coming in to pick up and continue the ministry." Diane Davis

Common Sense Biblical Answers To End Times Questions
How will the world end? When will Jesus return? What are many modern-day Bible prophecy experts missing? What we believe matters. Many Christians are wasting valuable time and money chasing End Times fantasies that have nothing to do with the teaching of Scripture.
Common Sense examines Scripture in context and challenges its readers to do the same. Many of the Scriptures doomsayers distort refer to events in our past. We are not to live in fear of a Tribulation, Antichrist, Beast, or any of the things often associated with the End Times. Jesus is returning to be welcomed home by His beautiful bride, not on a rescue mission for a harassed few. The message of the Cross and the Bible is VICTORY. Jesus won the victory, and the Holy Spirit, through His people, is implementing it in our world today. Celebrate Jesus!
Common Sense also includes an extensive review of The Book of Signs by Dr. David Jeremiah.

How To Know God Loves You
with bonus book: 13 Points Of Love
Probably everyone has wondered at some point whether God loves them. We may hear the catchphrase “God loves you” or “Jesus loves you” and look around at our lives, wondering where the evidence is.
Maybe you are in a good place and can take a Big Picture view of things right now. When everything is going well in our lives, we can think about big questions like: if God is love, why are there wars? Why is there sickness and death? Why do financial disasters destroy people’s livelihoods? Why do natural disasters wreak havoc on people's lives? And the list goes on. It doesn’t seem like God is in control, or if He is, He doesn’t seem very loving. Where is this ‘God is love’ that we hear talked about?
Maybe you are in a bad place right now, and everything is personal. Why did you get cancer? Why did you have abusive parents? Why were you a crime victim? Why can’t you ever seem to make enough money? Or is a loved one suffering, and you feel their pain? Or whatever personal events have devastated your life. Life is not fair! You see no evidence of God’s love in your life. If anything, it seems like He hates you and is out to get you.
Take the time to read this short book, and I will show you how you can know for sure that God loves you.
A bonus book is included titled 13 Points of Love. In this book, we look at the famous Bible love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13, and examine how God loves us, how we love God and how we love each other. Don't miss it! Order your copy today!
