New Book Proclaims How to Fix Human Problems (Political, Personal, Economic, Social, or Spiritual) Permanently


“Think of how much better the world would become if people did not rob others, injure others, murder others, or oppress others. If you want the world to be a better place, give love, don’t just receive it only”.

Ever wonder how to fix human problems permanently? To overcome wars, atrocities, hunger, diseases, deaths, sorrows, and other troubles? The solution is the central topic of a new book titled: “Love to Live Forever: Fixing Human Problems Permanently God’s Way”.

The book takes a practical view, with lively illustrations, of how by loving (helping not hurting) people, we can put into practice a divine solution. To overcome our troubles, God wants us to love our neighbors. It is that simple. But not easy, given our “desperately wicked” hearts (see Jeremiah 17:9 in the Holy Bible for this critical diagnosis of the human condition by our Maker). God therefore provides help by putting the Holy Spirit in our hearts to empower, enhance us (see 2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 5:5, and 2 Corinthians 1:21-22).

Believers are also empowered to benefit from a needed spiritual transformation (becoming ‘born again’) enabling access to the kingdom of heaven (see John 3:1-8). Access to God’s kingdom is crucial. It would be the only realm left standing when this world is destroyed and all governments end, and a New Age of world peace emerges.

Providing access into the kingdom of heaven, indeed, God’s ultimate solution for human problems is underscored by love. Specifically, it’s “faith working through love” (see Galatians 5:6, NKJV). That is, having faith in God underscored by a change in how we treat people for the better. It requires an attitude adjustment, and behavior modification in how we conduct our affairs personally, professionally, socially, financially, spiritually, politically, or ideologically.

It requires a renewed mindset with practical action steps focused on helping people. It calls for a mindset that is radically different from the greed-driven, self-centered philosophy that drives much of human conduct today. No wonder we are in such deep troubles, guaranteed to grow worse as disaster looms!

“Think of how much better the world would become if people did not rob others, injure others, murder others, or oppress others,” writes author Fred Igbeare, a former journalist. “If you want the world to be a better place, give love, don’t just receive it only”.

Copies of the book in paperback and eBook (published by TBN’s Trilogy) are available now at you local bookstores. Get your copies online also at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Books, and other outlets. Note that an audio book release is planned, as well as translations into other languages.

News Image

“Our life’s adventures take us on a journey that cycles through different stages multiple times. Each time, we face similar challenges, but at ever deepening levels. This book serves as a guide, freshly appropriate each cycle.”

New Book References Biblical Stories about Men and Women Encountering God


News Image

Here both beginners and experienced Bible students share God’s grand story where beloved but imperfect men and women are called to a covenantal bond with the Holy Trinity” Correll said,” I hope readers discover that God’s love is real, life changing and heart enlarging.

Are men and women doomed to fight the “battle of the sexes”? In “Watching God Woo the World,” the Rev. Dr. Ruth E. Correll says, No! She references accounts of men and women who worked together to present hope from God with one voice. The book provides accessible, brief, and informative introductions to each story with tips on how readers may find related threads of God’s grace in their lives.

Correll explains her belief that linkages between the genders that God created have a profound impact on spiritual formation of faith, hope and love. She emphasizes that Jesus neither showed preferential treatment toward women and men, nor assigned distinctive sex roles.

“Each chapter is a gem, and provocative of useful reflection. The book distills a lifetime of good teaching on your part,” commented Les Fairfield, mentor and professor from Trinity School for Ministry.

Her innovative study draws from some 70 accounts of men and women found in scripture who moved both toward or away from their Creator’s wishes. She follows the paths of characters like Leah, Moses, the woman at the well, and the disciples as God changes their hearts and the direction of their lives. Correll encourages readers to examine perspectives from biblical stories to discern the Holy Spirit’s work today.

“Here both beginners and experienced Bible students share God’s grand story where beloved but imperfect men and women are called to a covenantal bond with the Holy Trinity” Correll said,” I hope readers discover that God’s love is real, life changing and heart enlarging.”

Celebrity Speakers signs military intelligence officer, author


The Army vet’s passion is to turn his real-life experiences into easy-to-follow, highly effective programs and publications so anyone, regardless of faith, can benefit.

Alex Manire, a former high-level military intelligence officer, author and devout Christian, has signed with Bruce Merrin’s Celebrity Speakers Bureau to offer appearances worldwide at corporate events and meetings, conventions, retreats, seminars, workshops and more. Manire is also known by his pen name, Chris F. Walker.

At age 17, Manire joined the U.S. Army and scored high enough to be sent directly into military intelligence. His service spans nearly a decade and includes more than four years in multiple combat operations conducted in the Balkans and Middle East. After leaving the Army, he became an instructor for various military, law enforcement, government and corporate agencies. Before long, he transitioned into the roles of consultant and field matter expert in areas such as operations, team-building and leadership development.

In 2015, Manire published his first book, “The Path: Every Journey Begins with the First Step,” under his pen name. A former atheist, Manire had attempted to use his skills at discerning truth from lies to attack the validity of the Bible. Instead, his investigation transformed him into a Christian.

Now, his passion is to turn his real-life experiences into easy-to-follow, highly effective programs and publications so anyone, regardless of faith, can benefit.

A talented orator and storyteller, Manire comes alive on stage to draw his audiences into entertaining and emotional journeys, leaving them with life-changing lessons designed to provoke and inspire healthy growth.
