EVANGELUS:
$35.oo ~ 145 pages ~ perfect bound ~ 5½" x 8½" x ½".

A story written as an allegory. Fast-moving pace. Surrealistic imagery.

The Evangelus story follows a contrary man named Sinner out of the dark Land of Bondage through conflicts, scary situations, enigmas, griefs, victories, joys, and glories as he makes his way through six cities and the Wilderness of Trials to a Strait Gate. The six cities represent developmental phases that sinners usually go through as they change and become new creations in Christ. The book conatins a map of these six cities and other places in the "spiritual" countryside. Sinner, and a group of other sinners he joins in Belief City, are watched over, guided, and urged on by a band of Evangelicals led by a powerful old green-eyed Christian named Evangelus. A key thought in the story comes from Psalm 46: There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High ~~~ (The "streams whereof" being a flow of sin-riden souls from out of "Sin City" up to the "City of God").

Nearly every page of the book contains Bible verse citations in the margin. These give reference to particular parts of the story, making it also a valuable text for Bible study groups in addition to being a unique, gripping, exciting, and inspiring story. (Discounts for study group bulk orders may be negotiated.)

POWER for the PERSONAL EVANGELIST:
$20.oo ~ 80 pages ~ perfect bound ~ 4¼" x 5½" x ¼.

Power for the Personal Evangelist is a primary textbook for Ministers-At-Large. A school teacher in Asaba, Nigeria, wrote, ".... especially the one titled Power for the Personal Evangelist. Indeed, as its name implies, it is superbly POWER INCLINED". For such a small handbook, it concicely contains an unexpected variety of facts, teachings, biblical references, narratives, and a special section to use in training personal evangelists. One of the first to receive a copy wrote, "I read your book, Power for the Personal Evangelist over and over again, and was moved to contact you for both physical and spiritual help. I trust that God's finger points to the right person at the right time".

Reverend Rajnoor T. Martand, President of the India Bible Church Fellowship, requested permission to translate Power for the Personal Evangelist into Marathi, because "it is very useful for the coworkers as well as Bible school students and teachers of Maharashtra State where the mother tongue is Marathi".

"Overjoyed" is the right word to describe trainees and leaders of personal evangelism training groups in various places who have written about results from the use of this little handbook. For example, Reverend Wilfred Ohue wrote, "I am writing about the book titled, Power for the Personal Evangelist. Evangelism is our Spreme Task in our church. It is this book we're now using to teach the different evangelistic groups in the church. The book is so good. It is doing wonders in the lives of the people in my church, and I thank God for your life as the author". (Discounts for study group bulk orders may be negotiated.)

ABUNDANT LIFE: (24 pages)
I suppose that our natural fear of the unknown is meant for a healthy safeguard. Unfortunately, however, it can cause some to refuse God's gift of a spiritual change into everlasting life with God in Christ. That's the tragedy of fear. This account of my experience is offered only because I believe it could be of help to someone. The spiritual rebirth isn't the same for everyone. I know that there is great joy that comes with spiritual renewal in Jesus Christ. And I now receive God's constant care, providence, assignments, and protection from surrounding worldly evils. This everlasting gift from God is awaiting anyone who searches for God with all his heart (Jeremiah 29:11-13). There is no power in heaven or in earth greater than our Father God's vastly powerful divine love.

MYSTIC WORDS: (8 pages)

DOORMAT: (22 pages)
Doormat is for Christians and groups of Christians, and has been used in group discussions. An American Ministerial Association book review stated that copies of it should be in the book rack of every church. It gives a Bible based discussion in response to these questions that were written in a brief letter to a radio evangelist: "Is a Christian supposed to be a doormat to someone who mistreats her? Are you supposed to come to the Lord in prayer, and not take any action? Is there a time or a point at which you can take up for yourself? I enjoy your messages. Please have a message concerning this." The answers may surprise you. The reading of it is easy, enjoyable, and enlightening; and there is a useful appendix at the end.

THE MISSIONARY: (11 pages)
The Missionary is a true story about two Christians that our Lord brought together for a brief moment in their lives to accomplish a purpose. One of them was recently born again -- still just a baby in the spirit with much learning and growing yet needed to reach spiritual maturity. He was driving aimlessly around one summer day when the Lord led him into the driveway of a missionary's house. The missionary was a courageous soldier of our Lord who had undertaken a monumental task to bring aid to a people of an African country. His work came to a tragic end, and he was so broken hearted that he withdrew from the mission field. This story is a reminiscence on how the Holy Spirit used these two to accomplish a divine restoration.
