Ministry Time

In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she’ll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.

A boy meets a girl. The past meets the future. A finger meets a trigger. The beginning meets the end. England is forever; England must fall. The Ministry of Time is a novel about Commander Graham Gore (R.N. c.1809-c.1847) and a woman known only as the bridge. As their relationship turns from the strictly professional into something more and uneasy truths begin to emerge, they are forced to face the reality of the project that brought them together.

Find out how you can rest in ...

Why would someone risk his safety, destroy his schedule, and become dirty and bloody to help a needy person of another race and social class? And why would Jesus tell us "Go and do likewise"? Like the wounded man on the Jericho road, there are needy people in our path- the widow next door, the family strapped with medical bills, the homeless man outside our place of worship. God call us to be ministers of mercy to people in need of shelter, assistance, medical care, or just friendship.

History tells of women whose love for the Bible shaped its earliest and most prominent teachers. It tells of women who were great theologians in their own right, yet whose only students were their own children. It tells, time and time again, of Christian men who owe so much to their godly mothers. Raising children to honor and glorify the Lord is the goal of every Christian mother, but how can you do that? Who can teach you? One of the best ways to learn is to read or listen to examples of women who have succeeded at the very task you are attempting. Come and listen to some of them.

What are we to do when things don’t go the way we want, when the rug is pulled out from under us, when something terrible happens? How are we to react? Jamie shares what the prophet Isaiah says we are to do when the winds of adversity blow hard. We are to lengthen the cords to our tents and strengthen our stakes. Like the ancient Bedouins did, we are to make our tents flexible in the harsh environment, otherwise we just might be blown away. How do we lengthen our cords and strengthen our stakes? We lean into God, praise him and trust him. There’s a tendency in stormy circumstances to ...

You need love. Everyone does. It’s the object of a near universal quest. And that’s by God’s design. God made you out of love. He made you for love. And he made you to show love.

In his book A Better Love: God’s Love Transforms You, Dr. Paul Kelm cuts through the confusion that stems from the world’s views on love and shows you how to find...

You live in a world that will stop at nothing to tell you who you are. The world says you are your worst mistakes. Or your greatest achievements. You are what people see on social.

Discovering the answer—and the unwavering strength it unleashes in your life—is what this book is all about.
