Ask & You Shall Receive!

Mark Stevens Willis, PhD


This is the 2nd edition of my first book. The 1st edition was the dissertation for the first of my 2 doctorates. If you apply the concepts found in this book, it will revolutionize your prayer life!

Final Quest cover

The Final Quest Trilogy

Rick Joyner


I first read this book soon after it was published in the 90s. How it drastically altered the course of my life for the better over the following decade is too lengthy to recount here.

This Present Darkness cover

This Present Darkness

Frank Peretti


Like The Final Quest, this book gives a peek behind the curtains of what is going on in the unseen spirit realm. Well worth the read!

The Normal Christian Life

Watchman Nee


The final chapter significantly and drastically altered my attitude towards Christian ministry.

Sit, Walk, Stand cover

Sit, Walk, Stand

Watchman Nee


This book addresses one of the major issues young Christ-followers face: getting these 3 things out of order or omitting one or two of them outright.

The Rise of Christianity cover

The Rise of Christianity

Rodney Stark, PhD


This book opened up for me new insights into church history and the Church’s impact on Western Civilization. The book covers the timespan between the resurrection of Christ and the first 300 years of the Church.

The Triumph of Christianity cover

The Triumph of Christianity

Rodney Stark, PhD


This book is a superset of the content found in The Rise of Christianity. It covers a much wider timespan starting the era leading up to Jesus, followed by His birth, life, death, burial, and resurrection, and what followed during the ensuing millennia up until today.

He Is There and He Is Not Silent cover

He Is There And He Is Not Silent

Francis Schaeffer


I first read this book soon after it was published in the 70s. It gave me great confidence that Christianity more than holds its own intellectually & philosophically.

How Should We Then Live? cover

How Should We
Then Live?

Francis Schaeffer


An exploration of the emptiness of various human philosophies down through history until the modern day. Schaeffer wrote this about 50 years ago and the man was a prophet! What he predicted about the future pop culture has come true.

The Gift of Fear cover

The Gift of Fear

Gavin De Becker


Written by the conceptual father of psychological profiling, this book taught me to trust my gut instincts about people. That knowledge has saved me from more than a few headaches and heartaches. I heartily recommend this book for anyone, especially for all women of all ages.

In The Grip Of Grace cover

In The Grip Of Grace

Max Lucado


This book, his commentary on the Book of Romans, is probably one of the best, if not the best, books written on this topic. It should be required reading for every Christ-follower

You Are Special cover

You Are Special

Max Lucado


An awesome children’s book which simply but eloquently drives home the difference between how God sees me vs. fellow human beings. A great book for adults, as well — God used it to move me and others I’ve recommended this book to away from a shame-based performance-oriented mindset!

Tactics cover

Tactics

Greg Koukl


This book was a massive game-changer for me, giving me a huge confidence boost when witnessing to atheists and other skeptics. I’ve reread this book several times.

How People Grow cover

How People Grow

Drs. Henry Cloud &
John Townsend


I love, love, love these two! We often have problems in our lives and relationships which desperately require resolution but they often prove resistant despite our best efforts. These renowned authors shatter popular misconceptions about how God operates to reveal how spiritual and emotional growth really happen so those logjams can be removed.

Fire Road book Cover

Fire Road

Kim Phuc Phan Thi


This book is an incredible testimony of God’s faithfulness to His promises — in many cases, bona fide miracles! — despite overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable obstacles and incredible suffering. This book is inspirational, transcendental, and easily one of the best books I’ve ever read, Christian or non! Several times I was reading it through tears of gratitude to and worship of our Lord.
