We have just uploaded our Autumn suggestions to our list of new and classic books that we think are worth your time. You can find the new suggestions, and check out the older ones if you haven’t already seen them, on our Reviews page,
here.
Also, if you haven’t already downloaded and read our own new e-book on faith, hope and love, you can get it (free) in different formats to read on any computer or e-Reader.
These Three Remain takes a different approach to faith, hope and love than you may have seen before (see the blog entry directly below this one), and we think you will learn something from it. Like all our e-books, you can download These Three Remain without registration or cost here.

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love…” (1 Corinthians 13:13).
Probably every Christian knows the apostle Paul’s summary of the greatest Christian virtues found in 1 Corinthians 13:13. As new believers, it is one of the first verses we learn and one we always remember.
The meaning of Paul’s statement is simple enough. Like towering mountain peaks that still stand after the surrounding landscape has been eroded down or like three “rock hard” pebbles that remain when a stream has washed away the softer sand and soil, these three qualities “remain.”
But our new e-book, These Three Remain, helps you see scriptures speaking of these qualities when you might otherwise read right over them. It looks closely at each of the three key Christian attributes and examines how they interact with each other in your life. In fact, as you read this book, you may find that faith, hope and love are even more important than you ever realized. You can download this new free e-book from our sister site here.

The Book of Psalms is one of the most important books of the Bible. It is the biblical book Jesus quoted more often than any other, and he constantly used it to explain his own purpose and ministry. Psalms is also the book of the Old Testament quoted most (almost a hundred times) throughout the New Testament – it is quoted by almost every writer and in a great majority of the New Testament books.
Today the Book of Psalms is the Old Testament book most Christians know best, and the one to which many frequently turn for encouragement and inspiration. But Psalms is a treasure house of virtually inexhaustible riches, and even if you have read the book many times, we think you will find Spotlight on the Psalms worth your time.
Our new e-book, published today, uses background information from the time the psalms were composed to enrich a practical commentary on selected psalms that can help you both to better understand the psalms themselves and to better apply its messages in your own life.
You can download this new e-book in Kindle or ePub formats for your e-book reader, or as a PDF file to simply read on your computer. Download the book for free here.

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.” (Habakkuk 2:2)
Do you have a dream? A vision? A goal? I was reminded today of one of my favorite verses: Habakkuk 2:2 “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.”
One of my goals for the remainder of this year, and that I’m committed to next year, is to diligently journal, especially my short and long term goals that are upcoming.
If we write down our goals, thoughts, dreams, and heart’s desires, we imprint this message into our own mind and allow it to sink in to our soul. Your vision and dreams will become more apparent and real, as you meditate on them on a daily basis.
When your dreams are clearly written down in any form, whether it be in journals, a dream board, post it notes, or even a collage of magazine clippings, it can’t be easily mistaken. What is written down is reduced to certainty and clarity, even when you are having a bad day and want to talk yourself out of your dreams.
Not only declaring goals and dreams in writing is important for your future aspirations and gauging what you have accomplished, but writing down visions is a way to bless God. Every day, we have a reason to bless God and declare His goodness and what He has done for us. Deliberate annotations of God’s goodness will not allow us just a cursory view of what God has delivered us from, but an in-depth, heart felt reflection of His Ever Lasting Mercies.
What has God done in your life? I encourage you to write it down. What dreams has God dropped in to your heart? Create a daily journal or dream board. Put them in a place that you visit daily, to remind yourself of your purpose, and how you will inspire others. Today is December 6. Make the vision plain for 2016, as you end this year.
