The Arsenal of Grace

A Must-Read Highly Recommended Book - The Bridge of Hearts: Building Trustworthy Connections by Bestselling Amazon author Johnny L. Dudley is a reflective and tremendously insightful book offering Biblical hope in Jesus Christ.

Shedding light on God’s intentions towards the creation of mankind and Jesus Christ’s sacrifice that has reunited man to God, the author presents a journey paralleling the Old Covenant Tabernacle and the redeeming and sanctifying work of Jesus’s blood in the New Covenant.

By presenting the journey within the heart to spiritual renewal, the pattern that emerges is seven steps encompassed in the building and entering into the Holy of Holies. Fascinating and full of Biblical wisdom and knowledge, the author has written this book from years studying the Bible and will leave readers with renewed understanding concerning the heart and building trustworthy connections.

Dudley begins by stating that we were not only created to receive God’s love but to return His love, as well as returning God’s love to others. Building bridges and connecting hearts is about becoming transformed by the nature and the Spirit of God. Blending his own personal stories that reflect the nature of the self-absorbed and self-gratifying heart, alongside Scripture and scriptural insight, a pattern of renewing the heart emerges. This pattern is the same pattern the Levites used to build and come into the Holy of Holies; It is the secret place within the Temple. That same pattern is offered to us Biblically to regenerate and redeem one’s own heart for acceptance by God. And thus, have a living relationship with God.

A balanced teaching with a firm Biblical foundation relates to readers how one can build trustworthy connections through a sanctified heart that is fully surrendered to God. Filled with Scripture, the author offers a firm understanding of the creation of Adam and Eve, their temptation, and their fall that affected all of humanity - Until the incorruptible seed of the Kingdom came, Jesus Christ, who was God's infallible Word made flesh.

Seven steps are in the pattern’s three dynamics as the author states, “The pattern is God’s clear and pointed instructions for returning his love and becoming one in heart, mind, soul, and strength.” Each step is representative of the steps taken by the Levites in entering the Tabernacle to the most Holy place. One’s heart must be spiritually cleansed, renewed, and fully surrendered to be one Spirit of the Lord. The Ministry of Reconciliation with God is then restored for all who are born again, as one seeks to cleanse, renew, and give one’s heart wholeheartedly to the Lord. By obtaining a Christ-like nature, one learns to live out pure love - first towards Jesus, then towards others.

This comes as an excellent read that gives wisdom from the Bible, presenting the mystery of God’s grace with an everlasting hope, pointing readers to Jesus Christ. The Bridge of Hearts: Building Trustworthy Connections is highly recommended for those looking to strengthen and deepen their faith, fostering trustworthy connections.

As a multi-published author, the author has written such books as: The Harvest: A Biblical Survey of the End Times and Angels Unaware.

Life Changing - The Harvest: An In-Depth Study of the Coming of the Lord, the Antichrist, and the Fruit of the Earth, by multi-published and Bestselling Amazon author Johnny L. Dudley sheds Biblical insight upon The Harvest of God's people.

A profound and life-changing book (a reprint of The Harvest that Johnny L. Dudley wrote many years ago) contains a concise breakdown of the Biblical events of the End Times.

Keen insight and understanding present a Biblical foundation and perspective of the book of Revelation and End Time prophecies, all bringing an understanding that certain theologies created by modern-day Christianity (like the Rapture) are not Biblically correct. Debunking the pretribulation Rapture theory, the author offers the truth of God’s Word presented to readers in a simple and easy-to-read fashion.

This book is fascinating and Biblically accurate! The author highlights terms that one might not be familiar with as certain aspects of the Bible were written from the perspective of an Agrarian culture, symbolism used in those days to speak of a “harvest” which helps readers understand many different aspects of the Bible. God desired a Godly lineage from the beginning. This book can be best described as a Biblical survey of End Time events.

Ten Sections such as: Two Mysteries, A Knowledge of the Times, Two Significant Time Pieces, The Falling Away, The Man of Sin, The Great Tribulation, The Expulsion Phase, The Two-fold Harvest, The Day of the Lord, Peace! Peace at Last! & The Serpent’s Third Great Deception give way to chapters that describe such events such as: The Mysteries of God, The Mysteries of Iniquity, The Flood, The Exodus, The Babylonian Captivity, The Messiah, and so much more! This a wonderfully orchestrated book giving an broad perspective with intricate detail that has kept to a Biblical foundation.

This book comes highly recommended to those who desire Truth from the Word of God to prepare for what is coming – the soon coming of the Lord, preparing one with Biblical knowledge and to watch for and prepare one’s heart, so that one is not deceived, disappointed, or led astray. Filled with wisdom, Scripture, and deep insight into the Bible and the End Times, one will come to understand the utmost importance of having understanding for the chaotic times we live in today and those to come.

A must-read for all Christians, skeptics, and unbelievers alike!

An amazing read!

This book comes as a highly recommended read for those who desire truth on the subject that builds faith, builds trust, and furthers their resolve to continue serving the mighty God we serve. How wonderful it is to know our Father does not leave us abandoned in this world alone, just as the author states, but gives His angels charge over us.

By: Pastor K. Bruce Brown

Wow, I Want What They Have: Sanctified Marriage: Heavens Above “For Better or Worse” written by Pastor K.

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.

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!

A very highly recommended 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.

Finding The Compassion of Christ presents, 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 Must Read Book

Abba's Sanctuary

Abba’s Sanctuary book l and 2 are stories the Father wanted me to write to show people how he will bring not only people in your life to help but also his creations to protect, nurture, and give knowledge to children what he has created and how each creation has a place in the world which are important to him.

I had no idea that this would happen to me, the children, and staff. We were surprised at each one, and we did our best to care for each one as they came to us. There is love in each story, and I hope you can feel what I felt as each creature came forth.

Giving facts to children is important for their development and letting them know how wonderfully rich we are to have the opportunity to understand and watch his creations, though living in the wild, be a part of our lives up close.
