THE WILL OF GOD: Re:The Presbyterian Church (USA) Book of Common Worship explores in general the theological topic of "the will of God," as revealed in Scripture, and particularly as treated in the liturgical and worship material in the BOOK OF COMMON WORHSIP. The more than 200 references to the subject in the BCW appear in the different rubrics for worship: adoration, confession, supplication, petition, and explication or explanation.

The Spirit behind Badge 145
We are enamored with stories about cops, but rarely do we get a chance to walk in the shoes of one while reading about the personal and spiritual battles waged when one is fighting crime. Jim's narrative will pull you into the moment of each crisis. These stories are the material of movies but they happened in real life. Jim will weave his experiences into the truth taught in Scripture. Whether or not you are part of the law enforcement community, you will be entertained by the adventures. Regardless of your relationship with Christ, you will be challenged to do something with the claims made by Jesus. There is engaging action in this book, but the serious purpose is that it will serve as a challenging devotional guide and bring you closer to Christ.
