10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Wow, I Want What They Have: Sanctified Marriage: Heavens Above “For Better or Worse” written by Pastor K. Bruce Brown is a book that encompasses marriage, yet speaks of connecting to God as our Abba Father first. Offering great insight to those who would seek to come up higher in marriage, and all of their relationships! 

Pastor K. Bruce Brown presents a book that builds faith, reveals the spiritual realm, coining the phrase, “Earth Life Bias” (ELB), and offers readers instruction on how to build a solid foundation in Christ, while increasing in faith, love, joy, and peace as a citizen of Heaven. He welcomes all to the family of God while offering a new perspective approach to living the triumphant plan God has for your life here on Earth, marriage included.

As an overall theme, Pastor K. Bruce Brown presents an understanding of “postmodernism” that has turned the truth upside down. This is an important point. Stating that the world is at an “end time” high of tolerating ungodly behaviors; we must teach our children the Word of God and God’s ways. In case you had not noticed the state's desire to take your children. Therefore, the Pastor strongly urges Christians to continually seek His Kingdom first, above all else. 

This book carries weightiness and holiness and is a timely word for all Christians, married or not. With keen insight, Pastor K. Bruce Brown sounds a call for change. His book offers valuable life-changing information. Some could compare this book to gazing through a prism of light with many multi-faceted colors, emanating from each angle. The author speaks in plain terms but opens eyes and ears to both the earthly realm and the heavenly realm revealing the two kingdoms that collide here on Earth. 

*Additionally, in the latter part of the book, the author discusses the book of Daniel. He speaks about the end times and builds faith, answering questions one might have.

This book comes highly recommended for those looking to delve into a deep and dedicated relationship, seeking to know their Abba Father, and His ways, and bring their life and marriage to a Kingdom level of living and breathing in the Kingdom. A wonderful read!

Keys That Open Doors To Blessings

Title: Jesus and the Two Storms
By: Roland Ramirez
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Divinely inspired, Roland Ramirez, breaks down the two storms written in the books of Matthew and Mark. Studying and commenting on each verse, readers catch a glimpse of the context and learn lessons of faith to find victory. Readers will discover new and fresh insights, as these stories that build character and faith within the body of Christ. Learn to overcome life’s trials, and glean from these two storms, to understand that with Jesus, you are never alone and you can get through to victory in your life’s storms.

We all are familiar with the storm that arose wherein the disciples were terrified and the Lord seemed to be asleep in the bow of the boat. The other storm arose and Jesus was walking on water; Peter called out to Him, and then Jesus spoke to Peter to “Come.”  When God says, “Come,” what is our response? This book is written to help readers understand various aspects of each of these two storms. Do we get out of the boat? Do we have faith? When do we call out to Jesus for help?

The theme of the book is a call to endurance, and to call out to our Lord quickly, knowing that we can experience victory no matter what storm we may experience in life with Jesus helping or at the helm of our boat. Each chapter begins with a scripture, followed by an explanation with several introspective questions at the end. This book could be used individually, or in a group Bible setting. A salvation prayer at the back is included for those who need to reach out to the Lord. This is a wonderful way to reach out to the lost, teach them, increase their faith, and encourage them to walk through their trials with the Lord in their lives.

Also, a must-read book for every Christian as a reminder to Whom we follow and for encouragement within all the trials we face in this life.

This book helps one to refocus on the Lord and Scripture, and also to remember that no one is excluded from the trials and tests of this life; yet, we have Jesus and His victory to help us walk through any storm, situation, or circumstance. A great encouragement and challenge to learn to lean on the Lord at all times.

Title: The Revelation of the Cross for You
By: Roland Ramirez
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 Stars

The Revelation of the Cross for You by Roland Ramirez, (spent twenty years in the making of this book), gives readers a greater understanding of how the crucifixion of Christ reversed curses set forth by sin. 

Taking the reader back to the beginning, this is a fast-paced read to understand the nature of crucifixion, its origins, and its purpose in the Roman Empire. He blends historical and Biblical facts, Adam and Eve’s sin compared to the cross, and how that represents our healing from the cross. We are set free from not only sin, but shame, guilt, and so much more. He weaves such an interesting read that one will come to understand that he did not receive this revelation from any other source, yet this has been revealed to the author through prayer and the Word. This is a powerful and easy-to-read book that brings wonderful and compassionate insight to the multiple blessings of the cross for you.

Brief and to the point, the author stays true to Scripture with chapters such as: The Crucifixion, The Triumphal Entry, The Prayer in the Garden, The Sweat, The Blindfold, Scourged, The Crown of Thorns, The Beard and The Cheeks, The Reed and The Staff, The Hands, The Feet, Forsaken, The Last Breath, The Side, The Focus with Multiple Purposes, The Tree of Life, Conclusion & Suggested Prayer of Salvation. All chapters focus on the wounds and significance of the wounds received by Jesus in His own body on the cross and what that means for you.

Truly, this man has written as directed by the Lord and helps one to deeply understand the suffering and the significance of The Revelation of the Cross for You! 

A highly recommended read for ALL, whether believer or not!

Title: Who is Santa Claus Biblically?
By: Roland Ramirez
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Ronald Ramirez, a pastor, asks this question, “Who is Santa Claus Biblically?” This is a good question as we approach the Christmas season. The tree, the presents, the celebration – have you ever wondered where the idea of Santa Claus came from? The author answers that question with a brief history of Santa Claus and blends the true meaning of the season, laying out for all Christians plainly but simply. An interesting read that begs the question: Who and What are you celebrating? His book explains the “unfortunate icon” of the season of Christmas that has been created through the mythical fantasy of Santa Claus that children, families, etc. take part in all over the world. 

Stating that Santa Claus does not exist in the Bible and one has to piece things together from the Word of God to make sense as to why the legend of Santa Claus exists, readers will be in shock and awe as they continue to read what the author reveals. As most know, the idea of “Santa Claus” is derived from a man known as Saint Nicholas. A monk who lived approximately 260 -280 A.D. in a village called Patara, now part of modern-day Turkey. But this is only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

The author continues a short overview of how the idea of Santa Claus came, which most likely, most of us don’t already know. From there he continues with chapters such as: The Ornament, The Tree, Santa Claus, The Threefold Strategy and Attack Method, Ho!Ho!Ho! Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, How I Got This Message, Righteous Fruit, Spread the Word, My Heart’s Desire, Closing Prayers, and a Conclusion help readers truly understand Who and What is to be worshipped during this season.

A highly recommended read for anyone interested in finding purpose behind the so-called “Christmas” season, and for those interested in truly worshipping ONLY the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives. The author gives facts and does not malign anyone, but rather shifts the focus for readers from the worship of false idols to the true and living God.

One might be truly surprised as to the seriousness of the issue according to the Word of God. 

I have to thank the author personally for writing this book. I am also having every family member read this book!

New Book Release - Chronicling a journey from Savannah, Georgie back to West Virginia, overcoming their own dark past from alcoholism and drugs, this couple finds recovery and life in Jesus!

God’s hand of forgiveness and mercy would eventually lead the couple to the revitalizing and planting of a small country church with a food pantry that would feed a small community in West Virginia.

Fascinating, this true story reveals God’s mighty miracle-working power in having a calling if you believe upon the Lord, Jesus. He can make all things new.

Grit and determination encompass this book, as the author reveals that God can do the impossible. This is also a true testament of faith and being made new in Christ, revealing the handiwork of God.

Meet Author David Stafford

David Stafford, Christian Author 

David Stafford combines the old with the new, combining a practical training manual with key Biblical insights to aid in the developing and equipping of the current era Church with the new changing technologies for the apostolic age and era. 

David Stafford gives the definition of technology as, “Technology is the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area.” Presenting to readers that God is the God of all knowledge, this book has been written to encourage and give all who read it confidence and knowledge of how to advance in the Kingdom of God. He teaches and edifies believers offering Christ’s disciples, new believers, and converts alike, keen insight into what the Church (ekklesia) means from the beginning, and offers a clear understanding of the Church’s “heritage, ancestry, culture.” Certain technologies and supernatural algorithms have been established, as David Stafford reveals and presents to those that desire truth, alongside his revelatory anointing, to those that desire truth from the Word of God. In this book, he presents the true meaning of what it means to be Apostolic.

Full of Scripture, this book is designed with foundational and Biblical theology. Such chapters are: God is a Technological God, The First and Last Adam, The Charge of Dominion, The Apostolic Seed, Natural Conception Algorithm, Artificial Insemination, Apostolic DNA, The Key Elements for Healthy DNA, Supernatural Conception Algorithm, Holiness: the DNA of Deity, Etc., and so much more. The author explains the divine algorithms and technological advances while equipping the Church with strategies and weapons that help them understand their calling, their DNA as the body of Christ, and gives the Church power from above with each amazing chapter. An emphasis on the weapon of fasting is a subject that many question and do not understand. Readers will benefit greatly from the understanding he has presented to the body of Christ on this subject.

In blending an explanation of the “All-Knowing God” that is a “technological” God with the revelation of the supernatural from above in the conquest to bring reformation to the Church, he states, “This is not a move backward nor a move forward but a reformation to reestablish what has been lost and has become inoperable in the body of Christ.” Therefore, this book reestablishes the Apostolic calling of the Church upon nations and peoples. This is a profound book that makes such bold statements that seem from another dimension, revelatory in nature, supernatural, and inspirational.

If you’re looking for a divine RESET of HOW the Church functions, or should function in this modern-day science-filled and technological world, I suggest this book. Explosive, informative, and a fantastic output of information with staggering statistics that tell of the persecuted Church and a “wineskin of organized religion”, this comes as a MUST-READ for those looking to become the End Time Bride.

Becoming Fully Dependent On God

Dependence Prayer 
His Provision to Accomplish the Calling He Has for You
Dr. Sang Sur

A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Utilizing a scriptural viewpoint, this book speaks directly to discouragement during the Covid Pandemic. Hope and faith are strengthened offering renewed faith to help readers learn to hear God, but also how to pray Biblically, strategically, and effectively. Answering many questions, giving the truth of Scripture, the author teaches the multi-faceted way God speaks and delivers His people. This is a fantastic and wonderful book that will quickly become a favorite. 

Christ is our ultimate example that is displayed in the book, yet many other examples such as Joshua’s instructions from God to be strong and courageous is a theme that runs through this book. Filled with sound doctrine and Scripture, the author speaks of becoming dependent on God fully, trusting Him with everything, as your Provider. This is key to moving forward into your calling and purpose.  Old and New Testament examples of the Israelites give readers insight into God’s vastness and nature, yet the author has given battle strategies using the past to speak into your future.  

The author’s message speaks triumphantly to the Body of Christ during these chaotic times in our world to find renewed hope to endure and to be strong and courageous. In this book, one will find sound Biblical doctrine and powerful Scripture that teach not only the proper prayer perspective, but how to know and hear from God. With ease, Dr. Sang Sur, teaches how to:
  • Discover the power of prayer, as a two-way communication, only requiring trust in Him;
  • Understand that results and divine provision come from prayer;
  • Overcome discouragement and lean into God as the One Who Provides;
  • Understand your mighty calling in God;
  • Receive divine direction and strategies from God;
  • Learn how to speak to and hear from the Lord;
  • Discover powerful tools of how and when to pray for others, to include fasting.
Come and learn dependence on God through prayer and faith that will keep and preserve one’s inner light bright through these troubling times – A much-needed book during this period in history!

As a Christian pastor and multi-published author, Dr. Sang Sur has written a crucial book during these difficult times to help believers continue in faith and understand God’s provision is enough to complete the calling one has in Him. Dr. Sang Sur is the author of: Our Highest Calling and Scripture Reflections. Dependence Prayer is also available in the Korean language.

Teaching Our Children - A Must Read

Life In Christ presents a must read book. Overcoming Abuse: Child Sexual Abuse Prevention and Protection -- A Guide for Parents, Caregivers and Helpers by Reina Davison offers a 3-part handbook to parents, caregivers, and helpers to aid in protection against child sexual abuse. 

Using biblical principles, stages of development in children, this book teaches, educates and gives parents the arsenal they need to educate themselves and their families in either prevention or healing from traumatic child sexual abuse (CSA).

Giving the definitions of child sexual abuse (CSA) and the staggering statistics in our nation, coupled with the abuse worldwide – the abuse of children is unprecedented. 

Our world, day and age is raging with this sin against the most innocent of beings – children. Abuse comes in many forms and can be quite insidious, thus the author’s efforts focus on sexual abuse. She also gives insight into the psychiatric dynamics of a sexual predator or offender. Her book is well-rounded and an overview on the subject of CSA that gives knowledge, help and guidance as a manual for prevention and protection against such crimes.

A comprehensive handbook, one can glean the contents and find out not only how to use her guide, but understand how to limit internet media and device pornography, recognize strategies of perpetrators, giving tips of what to do and what not to do – parents, caregivers and helpers can help recognize, prevent and protect children against childhood sexual abuse. This guide is an invaluable resource, offering also an overview of the main reasons for abuse (the psychology of abusers) to help readers spot unsafe behaviors, giving them a guidebook in tracking and preventing child sexual abuse.

With a section on educating your child on this subject, this book takes all the pieces of a giant puzzle, and even sheds light on the judicial system in relation to this issue. With different stages of age, such as birth to toddler, toddler to five, six to twelve, and twelve to eighteen, the author has broken down the different stages of growth, exposing the different levels of opportunity that sexual predators may use against a child at these ages, along with age appropriate environments and care providers.

A mjust read  book that comes as a highly recommended guide and handbook for parents and caregivers as well as for those dealing with such issues, pastors, police, counselors, child psychologists, medical staff, and the court system will find this information useful in teaching child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention and protection!

A very highly recommended must read. Overcoming Abuse: My Body Belongs to God and Me – A Child’s Body Safety Guide by Reina Davison speaks to children, telling them they are “Overcomers.” 

This is a wonderful truth in God’s Word, as she begins the book by the definition of what an overcomer is. Opening children’s eyes to the truth of God’s purpose and plans for them, she goes on to describe God’s gift of free will. 

Describing Good Touch and Bad Touch; she elaborates on these two and what that can encompass. There are Good Touch people and Bad Touch people. Her book gives hope to children who have or have not experienced abuse by speaking the truth of God’s love and care for their body. She also teaches children how to prevent abuse by giving them the tools to know the difference between a healthy relationship and unhealthy relationships.

Writing from a biblical perspective, yet incredibly gentle and simple, Reina Davison gives hope and guidance that exposes the darkness and sin of the enemy lurking in our lives. These people are unsafe and “No Touch” people as Reina explains. Her premise teaches children the principle of becoming “Overcomers” in Christ Jesus. This is a fantastic book that teaches wonderful and enlightening spiritual truths to children. (Note: This book just may encourage adults as well; teaching them that they are overcomers!) I personally enjoyed the uplifting truths to her book and thought…I wish I had a book such as this when I was a child. You will be delighted by this book as well.

As a guidebook, this book teaches parents, caregivers, family members, etc., to understand what safe behavior is in and out of the home. Her Body Safety guide in the back provides a checklist for adults to adhere to in protecting children. With beautiful illustrations, the author sheds light on walking in the truth of God’s Word, while giving them instruction of their enemy (the devil), the Bible, and Jesus, offering hope and encouragement to look to Jesus as their help and Savior. Her book shows that God has a good plan for them and cares for them. She shares that they are Overcomers and can defeat the enemy (the devil) and that because of Jesus, they too can choose to be of Good Cheer (be happy). 

This book comes highly recommended for all children who need to be taught encouraging truths about God’s Word, and especially is a tool to be used by parents, counselors, pastors, child psychologists, medical personnel, and lay persons to teach about healthy sexual boundaries.  

To tell you the truth, this is one of those books parents should utilize in teaching their children about bad people that sin and touch inappropriately. She has given a list of resources in the back of the book, and is an advocate of ending child sexual abuse. Written with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity to children’s pure intellects, this book does a wonderful job in tackling a difficult subject.
