The Message and the Messenger” may be the first and last book you will need on basic sermon preparation. Written from a scholarly but pastoral perspective, Dr. Tony V. Lewis, President of Christian Bible Institute and Seminary, provides a great concise guide in preparing not only the sermon, but the preacher, for a lifetime of ministerial service from the pulpit. In the opening pages of the book, Dr. Lewis writes, “The call to ministry and to preaching is also a call to preparation and a call to study.” This book gives the reader spiritual, academic, and practical ways in which they can prepare themselves for a lifetime of preaching.

Let’s be clear. This is not yet another chauvinistic how-to manual designed to inflict more pressure on, and anxiety in women or the men who love them. Relationships are serious business. Beyond the initial giddiness, heart palpitations, syrupy declarations, and grand promises, there’s work to do by both parties. People matter. In some marriages, people tend to treat the delicate art of relationships like shooting fish in a barrel. In some cases, one person has all of the power, while the other is doomed to settle for whatever happens, and take whatever they can get. The Wife He Wants is a well-balanced ministry resource offering written from the diary of man’s mind to the heart of the woman he loves. The idea is to restore the balance in value for one another in a practical and meaningful way.

Being born again gives all people a distinct advantage in life…forgiveness of sins, empowerment by the Spirit, a family of God for support, but Christians can also have problems. We find much of mental illness, or the inability to cope in a healthy way with stress, is rooted in family dynamics. Children learn by watching their parents; they watch their reactions when stressed. For example, one client frequently watched her mom and dad drink heavily and then sink into depression leading to violence every two weeks or so, right after dad came home with an insignificant paycheck. Along with learned behavior from long term exposure to traumatic incidents, others become trapped in a mindset which they have learned. Counseling can show them alternatives. It can often be a long and arduous process. Knowing how to help in an effective manner is a skill that can be taught… and that is the purpose of this book.
