Building On The Sure Foundation

God created you with a blueprint which establishes not only your identity (His end-in-mind for you as a work of art) but also your growth journey (the step-by-step plans). However, your experiences with the darkness of this world, sin, and the enemy deface the blueprint and leave you disoriented. A marriage at its best provides an encouraging companion who helps you discover your true identity. But without God, marriage becomes a place of fear and self-doubt.

Marriage from Roots to Fruits: Understanding God’s Design for Growing in Good Soil by Matt Pavlik is a solid, biblical Christian marriage book and study guide that gives hope for troubled marriages when failure is not an option. As most know, the divorce rate is at a staggering rate in the U.S. Most couples are bombarded with a myriad of issues that come from encounters with the world’s darkness, sin and the enemy. 

In this profound book, the author as a licensed professional marriage counselor, gives understanding to your personal design by God that includes your identity and a step-by-step journey of growth in God and within a marriage. He unveils marriage as designed by God that was intended to be an environment where one can grow and prosper.

With this in mind, the author presents a fascinating and insightful read that teaches one who you are in God and what marriage was created for.  He has created a guide, divided into 3 parts as: Spiritual Foundations, Individual Growth & Marital Growth to help readers recognize that good fruit comes from good trees. Therefore, he starts from the root of issues to produce godly fruit. This takes readers within a marriage, individually, or within a small study group, on a journey of self-discovery to enable them to put God back into the picture. Thus, producing a fruitful harvest the way God designed marriage to be enjoyed.

Marriage from Roots to Fruits comes highly recommended as a read that is not only biblical, but practical. 
Matt Pavlik
Additionally, the author addresses many of the issues in marriage that can eat away at the root system of a marriage to include: communication style, your love language and conflict resolution. (Honestly, there is so much in the book that all cannot be listed within a review). Within the pages of this book one will learn to view each other as an individual, understand differences and godly roles, while learning to apply godly principles within a marriage that will transform marriages and individuals. The book is certainly an all-encompassing Christian perspective from one who is a professional marriage counselor and has a heart to heal marriages.

Let Heaven Come To Earth

Awaken to your calling. Intercession: Breaking into Heaven 

A gift from God to you, as the author puts it.  Truly, it is as the author gives understanding as to what it is to be called as an intercessor, the requirements of an intercessor, the role of the Holy Spirit thereby presenting guidance in development of your gifts, coupled with wisdom and testimonies to help you start your intercessory ministry. 

With an uplifting momentum, this book will help one believe and hold firm to God’s Word as one gains insight into the powerful prophetic anointing that intercessors possess and are called to use. Thus, as an intercessor one is divinely called to plead to God on behalf of another, individually and corporately.  

This is the kind of prayer that changes and shapes nations, brings healing to the sick, saves the lost and so much more! This book is about seeing His Kingdom purposes come down to Earth. 

One will learn how to look above their circumstances and plead for Heaven to come to Earth.

What Did The Prophet Jeremiah Say

Jeremiah 1:19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you.  For I am with you, says the Lord, to deliver you.

Trouble is on the horizon for every country, but God is expecting you to depend on Him during those times of need.  Recently there have been major problems in a number of countries in Africa, but we have been praying for the Christians in those countries.

Your prayers can be hindered when you fail to depend on the promises of God for protection.  Jeremiah tells you God is with you, and wants to deliver you.  Once Jeremiah was in a dungeon and his friends dropped ropes for him to grab.  Had he not done so, he would have stayed in the dungeon, Jeremiah 38:13.  God has "dropped" His promises in the Bible for you to grab on to, so that you can be pulled out of the problems.  Fill your spirit with more of His promises today, so that you can use them.

Author: Reid A. Ashbaucher
A CBM Book Review
10.0 stars out of 10.0

Reid A. Ashbaucher in his book, The Christian Faith: A Quick Guide to Understanding its Inter-Workings, gives a historical overview of the Christian faith from the beginning. Filled with a multi-faceted presentation of the compilation of the Bible, the Gospel, to include teachings on the nature of God, the mysteries of Christ, with an overview of different doctrines to include the ministry of the Holy Spirit – this book lacks nothing.  Any question you have about Christianity will be answered in this book as the author presents historical background, and the beliefs and values of the Christian faith in such a way that is concise, interesting, accurate, and presents the truth of the Scriptures and Jesus Christ as the Son of God.  This is one amazing read as the author gives a summary of how books of the Bible emerged into the canonization, giving his interpretation from a Protestant perspective, in which he explains also.  Easy-to-read and full of facts as scripture from the Bible, the author tackles a difficult subject and helps readers in understanding the entirety of the Christian faith.

With teaching from the Old and New Testaments, the author helps new and mature believers alike.  This short book is designed as a guide to help readers (unbelievers and also those exploring Christianity) to make better spiritual decisions for the betterment of their lives.   Discussing the, “nature of Christianity; its origins; the fundamentals principals; the foundational teachings; and how it answers questions to everyday life,” (p.13) is what the book covers by boiling down the essentials of the principles of the Christian faith, so that those examining Christianity can understand the belief systems and where they came from.

This is a very interesting and highly recommended read that comes from years of study – giving insight to better understand the Bible as a whole, the main tenants of the Christian faith and to encourage and edify the Body of Christ.  Many will come to understand what the Nicene Creed means that has continued on in many Christian churches today, while also learning the different denominations of the Christian faith as well. With chapters such as: The Historical Beginning; The Gospel: From Beginning to End; The Historical Teachings of the Faith; The Canon and its Translations; The Inter-Workings of the Church; The Book of Romans: An Essay Perspective on its Teachings to the Church and Study Guide Suggestions the book is an excellent read.  

This book comes highly recommended for those that are looking to understand the Christian faith and the Bible.  Sincerely, all Christians should partake of this read, whether you are a new believer or curious about the Christian religion, this book will guide you into a deeper understanding of Scripture from a biblical and historical perspective, that will lead to a deeper understanding of God, Kingdom principles and the precious Word of God. 

Growing Up In Brooklyn

Get Your Kindle Download Today ~ Sit back and take a journey into The Crazy Life of a Kid From Brooklyn.

In this read Bill Morgenstein encapsulates days of the past and current, describing what it was like to grow up in Brooklyn, New York, to have dreams fulfilled and to have dreams die. Find out what it was really like “back then” during the Depression and war years from one who lived and overcame through all the ups and downs of life.  A highly entertaining, well-written read that says: “No matter what, don’t give up!”

An excellent and highly recommended memoir!  

A fantastically written autobiography looking back at his life as a “good Jewish boy”, to his career, his family, his upbringing, his education and all the crazy, memorable and tragic experiences that made him into the man he is today.  

Hilarious at times, readers will enjoy this man’s journey from childhood into adulthood.  His dream was to play for the New York Yankees ~ a dream that was caught up by the cares of the world. Upon graduating from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor’s Degree, the author entered the military and did 18 months in a non-combat zone in Korea.  His exploits, travels and business savvy are highlighted throughout and upon his return became the successful President of an import/export footwear company before the age of thirty, another dream that did come to pass.   

Bill Morgenstein superbly expresses an incredible disdain for injustice and unrighteousness throughout his book as threads of righteousness are woven throughout the pages to encourage and inspire others to find their own journey in living and loving life.
