As an evangelist, I am always looking for good material to put into the hands of those who make a decision to follow Jesus. Some of the things we see are either too complicated or too biased. Some are great for young people but too juvenile for adults. Yours, however, is just like Baby Bear's portage., 'just right.' I'm sure this will be a very useable tool for people who want to help others move onward with the Lord. Thank you for this wonderful resource. Mike Warnke, Evangelist & Christian Comedian 'This work should not be confused with a denominational handbook. Jane has done a good job of keeping free from sectarian or theological bias. The book is Scripture study from start to finish. I am convinced that Walking Toward the Light will become a standard textbook for many churches to use in newcomers class, Sunday school, discipleship programs, or regular Bible study groups.' David Rodriguez, President Therapon Institute

Walking at the Speed of Light is a perceptive offering of memoir and reflections that can be taken one at a time and provide insight and healing for all kinds of darkness. Although many books have addressed grief and depression related to Christian faith, a book that gives readers a Christian perspective on these subjects through forward thinking including organ donation and positive life building offers a unique opportunity. Walking at the Speed of Light begins with the death of Cheryl J. Heser’s thirty-three-year-old son, Joshua, the grief experiences that followed, and the organ donation that affected the lives of over 100 people. Cheryl then provides chapters related to the Light of the World, sharing insight and nurturing for grief and depression as well as an enthusiastic embracing of all aspects of the enlightened Christian faith journey.

The Camino de Santiago is an ancient religious pilgrimage. For over a thousand years pilgrims have walked the many routes throughout Europe to pay homage at the tomb of Saint James nestled in the womb of the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. The traditional and most travelled route is the Camino Frances. This Way of Saint James winds for almost 800 kilometers across northern Spain, over mountains and steep hills, through villages and cities, and across the broad meseta, from Roncesvalles to Santiago. Every pilgrim who walks the Camino lives a unique and very individual journey. This story is just one of thousands of very personal tales of the challenges and joys of this spiritual trek. It is a story of the mysteries of faith, love, and a promise.

Welcome to the second book in the series on Biblical Christianity, not wanting to lay again the foundation of repentance towards dead works I hope this book will be an encouragement to move on towards perfection. With that in mind how then should we live? What does God require of us? Micah 6: 8 condenses the Ten Commandments down to just three points telling us we must do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God. In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus Christ further condenses these three points to just two. Love God and Love your neighbor. The whole of the law and the prophets hang on just these two commandments, therefore if you are living these two commandments you fulfil the whole of the law. How many Christians can say they live out these two commandments? If they did they would never refuse to forgive anyone, they would never seek vengence and they would never be guilty of treating people differently. However when push comes to shove many people seem to say one thing while doing another. Surely the proof of a persons forgiveness is that they don't treat people differently. Certainly something to think about, the main focus of this book will be living your life within the will of God. I hope it's a blessing to you. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22: 37-40.

A woman, age twenty-two, with two small children and married only five years, sits watching a campfire when she suddenly becomes aware that she is no longer married. Another time, she is out to dinner with a friend, only to be urgently sent home to save her dying son. She walks along a beautifully landscaped boulevard, notices a church with stained-glass windows, and finds God speaking to her. Her daughter is away at college when a dream warns her she is going to lose her to a horrific accident. One minute she is folding clothes beside her bed and the next watching Jesus observing the whole Earth. Working in nursing, she gets a heads-up about a difficult night, and another time, some creative help with a sewing problem, as well as deliverance from an addiction that was going to end in her suicide. These things happened. I know, because I am that woman. The Bible tells us to tell others what wonderful things God has done for us: “Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does” (Psalm 96:3). I have learned many things since being that twenty-two-year-old at the campfire, but most of all I have learned that God is love.
