Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more. What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.

Visit to Heaven: My Heavenly Experience contains in-depth knowledge of what the author, David S. Okuwa, saw when the Lord Jesus allowed him to visit heaven. It contains a clear description of what he saw and heard as he walked around and explored the part of heaven he saw himself infrom the escalator, to the gate of heaven, and behind the gateinside heaven itself. This book explains the events that were going on as David entered heaven, starting from the time the angel at the gate looked for his name in the big living book on the table in front of the gate of heaven to the time he entered heaven and saw some of the heavenly residents near the gate going about their business. Some were also having discussions. There were angels around the gate, and an angel flew above the gate to touch an individual that entered heaven looking tired, beaten up, and bleeding around his mouth. The individual was immediately transformed as soon as the angel touched him from behind. David experienced other parts of heaven as wellthe houses, mountains, valleys, and beautiful scenery. There were children learning the Bible at the park; his grandmother gave him messages for the world, and two angels were standing guard at the entrance to the church in heaven. The author also shares a bit about hell and how not to end up there after our life on earth. This book contains a detailed description of heaven as seen by David S. Okuwa. Read on to learn more about Davids experiences in heaven and what he saw and heard.

"Ema, give me your hand." These were the words Jesus spoke to Ema on Christmas Eve--the night He straightened her crooked foot, hand, neck, and spine, and restored her mobility. Easter weekend, eighteen years earlier, an ordinary workday turned into a nightmare when Ema McKinley passed out and was left hanging upside down in the storage room. Rather than improving, Ema's body became progressively bent and disfigured. Doctors diagnosed Ema with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), an extremely painful trauma-induced disease which led to Ema's hand and foot deformities, painful sores, insomnia, gastrological distress, curvature of the neck and spine, heart and lung failure, and permanent confinement to a wheelchair. Once an athletic, powerhouse woman with multiple jobs and volunteer positions, Ema became a modern-day Job who lost everything except her faith and desire to trust God more fully. Ema wrestled with pain, anger, and unforgiveness, but now takes the reader on a healing miracle encounter of Biblical proportions. Rush of Heaven will ignite readers' passion for Jesus and help them walk hand-in-hand with Him through life's darkness. It will open hearts to embrace the impossible. "Jesus gave me this miracle for you too!" -- Ema McKinley

Discover and understand the different Christian views of what heaven will be like. Christians from a variety of denominations and traditions are in middle of an important conversation about the final destiny of the saved. Scholars such as N. T. Wright and J. Richard Middleton have pushed back against the traditional view of heaven, and now some Christians are pushing back against them for fear that talk about the earthiness of our final hope distracts our attention from Jesus. In the familiar Counterpoints format, Four Views on Heaven brings together a well-rounded discussion and highlights similarities and differences of the current views on heaven. Each author presents their strongest biblical case for their position, followed by responses and a rejoinder that model a respectful tone. Positions and contributors include: Traditional Heaven - our destiny is to leave earth and live forever in heaven where we will rest, worship, and serve God (John S. Feinberg) Restored Earth - emphasizes that the saved will live forever with Jesus on this restored planet, enjoying ordinary human activities in our redeemed state. (J. Richard Middleton) Heavenly Earth - a balanced view that seeks to highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of the heavenly and earthly views (Michael Allen). Roman Catholic Beatific Vision - stresses the intellectual component of salvation, though it encompasses the whole of human experience of joy, happiness coming from seeing God finally face-to-face (Peter Kreeft). The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

Contemplating the terrible laxity in the church today, one realizes the urgent need to warn people of the terrors of hell and encourage them to enter into the glories of heaven. Dr. Bailey was compelled by God to write this book, drawing from his own experiences and the experiences of others that have had of the glories of heaven and the torments of hell. Dr. Bailey clearly presents God-given, heavenly goals, as well as dire warnings of the fires of hell, which so many have fallen into. As you pursue this powerful study, may it cause you to determine to avoid the pitfalls of sin that will only lead to hell and to find and remain on the pathway of holiness that lead to Christ and the glories of heaven.
