“A Minister’s Quick Reference Guide: 100 Sermon Titles, Points, and Scripture (Simple, Moderate, and Complex Outlines)”: an engaging collection of helpful tools for building inspiring sermons. “A Minister’s Quick Reference Guide: 100 Sermon Titles, Points, and Scripture (Simple, Moderate, and Complex Outlines)” is the creation of published authors Rev. Dr. Willie J. Barnes-Jackson and Rev. Dr. Pamela T. Barnes-Jackson. The authors are a husband-and-wife team who serve as senior pastor and co-pastor of Light of the Community Ministries in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Rev. Dr. Willie J. Barnes-Jackson and Rev. Dr. Pamela T. Barnes-Jackson share, “A Minister’s Quick Reference: 100 Sermon Titles, Points, and Scripture (Simple, Moderate, and Complex Outlines). It was written with the intent to make it easier for persons preparing God’s Word to spend more time in thought and meditation than in the development of their sermon, ministry or educational project, message, or devotion. They are benefited by eliminating the steps of finding a title, scripture, and/or the writing of an outline. The objective of this manual is to simplify the task of preaching, teaching, and evangelizing. The desire is to help others create much easier their works for ministry.

“This reference manual is best suited for the academic, religious, and liturgical markets for pastors, ministers, students, teachers, lay people, and individuals looking for a guided means of study. It is a compilation of sermons, with varying formats, developed over a period of years from the outpouring and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

“A Minister’s Quick Reference: 100 Sermon Titles, Points, and Scripture (Simple, Moderate, and Complex Outlines) is divided into three sections, with some outlines being more detailed, considering length of time and direction of thought. It includes sermon outlines that have been preached over a period of eighteen years.

“Regardless of whether a person is preparing a sermon for their preaching course, or developing a sermon to be a message or devotion to a congregation or small group, there is opportunity for conservation of time and energy spent in their lesson construction.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Rev. Dr. Willie J. Barnes-Jackson and Rev. Dr. Pamela T. Barnes-Jackson’s new book is a delightful resource for pastors, ministers, or any religious leader.

With years of devoted study and service to community, the authors share a collection of informative resources that will enable religious leaders to inspire and spiritually entertain those they serve.

Michael Hunter’s newly released “Dying to Tell You” is an engaging discussion of the final words of Christ as stated from the cross


News Image

“Dying to Tell You: The Sermon on the Cross: Seeking to Know Christ in His Crucifixion and the Gospel Contained in the Seven Sayings of Jesus from Calvary”: a thought-provoking discussion of key biblical teachings and how they relate to the final words of Christ. “Dying to Tell You: The Sermon on the Cross: Seeking to Know Christ in His Crucifixion and the Gospel Contained in the Seven Sayings of Jesus from Calvary” is the creation of published author Michael Hunter, a loving husband, dedicated father, and former police officer and retired Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army where, among other assignments, he served as a Military Attaché. Hunter carries a master’s degree in international relations from Boston University.

Hunter shares, “Jesus tells us that if one desires to be his disciple, they must ‘deny himself and take up his cross and follow me’ (Mark 8:34). But what does it mean to take up your cross, and how can we do this? The apostle Paul said that he ‘desired to know nothing…except Jesus Christ and him crucified’ (1 Corinthians 2:2) and elsewhere even claimed to ‘have been crucified with Christ’ (Galatians 2:20). How can one join Paul and know Jesus in his Crucifixion?

“The answer is to take Jesus at his word. From the cross, Jesus spoke seven times. These sayings summarize the gospel and explain how we can know him in his Crucifixion. On the cross, Jesus was literally Dying to Tell You how his death fulfilled God’s eternal plan for our redemption.

“Unlike other studies of the ‘last sayings’ of Jesus from the cross, Dying to Tell You takes a new approach and views the sayings together as a whole, revealing how together they form the foundation to understanding the gospel of Jesus. Originally motivated to seek a resolution to the dilemma of which saying is the last (both Luke and John appear to report the last saying), Dying to Tell You establishes a new order for the sayings based on a detailed examination and integration of the four Crucifixion narratives contained in the Gospels. While each saying is individually examined, rather than handling them as isolated statements, Dying to Tell You demonstrates how these sayings comprise the final message of Jesus, his sermon on the cross.

“Along the way, Dying to Tell You also provides assurance that the Bible can be trusted and is a historically accurate resource; demonstrates that the cross is the centerpiece of redemptive history; and illustrates how Jesus and the Crucifixion serve to fulfill the scriptures and provide for the salvation of mankind.

“Dying to Tell You is nothing less than one disciple’s spiritual awakening and quest to know ‘Jesus Christ and him crucified’ through the sayings he made from the cross and gospel they proclaim.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Michael Hunter’s new book will engage and encourage believers who seek a deeper connection to God’s word.

Hunter shares an articulate and reflective interpretation of Christ’s final moments, sayings, and what mankind is meant to do with the information imparted in those final messages.

Consumers can purchase “Dying to Tell You: The Sermon on the Cross: Seeking to Know Christ in His Crucifixion and the Gospel Contained in the Seven Sayings of Jesus from Calvary” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Quintin Cooper’s newly released “Fighting for Her” is a thought-provoking discussion of the importance of being a good husband.


News Image

“Fighting for Her”: a powerful exploration of marriage and the role of a husband. “Fighting for Her” is the creation of published author Quintin Cooper, an award-winning international gospel artist and inspiring pastor.

Cooper shares, “In a world where divorce has taken the first place position in the race to remedy any relational ruckus, the artlessness of romantic alliance has been abandoned. Meanwhile, the mentality of men have identified that it is better to choose another woman than it is to fight for the one that has proven her loyalty unfailingly. This is a mentality that gives no deliberate effort to repair the relationship. It gives no patience to the woman that has been taken for granted, taken advantage of, and humiliated— –privately and publicly. Fighting for Her is a necessary tool and a long-awaited guide for men!

“Fighting for Her was penned by the hand of a man, composed to agree with the heart of men, and committed to paper to instruct the unwavering man on how to fight for the woman that holds his heart. This man understands that he must fight beyond her rough words, farther than her stale face, far past the caves of her distrust, through her many questions, over her attempts to find something that may not exist, while exercising an unprecedented amount of patience and understanding. He is aware that had it not been for his poor decisions and less than perfect behavior, she would have no reason for any of it.

“This brilliant piece gets right down to the heart of the matter with no filter! ‘Sex and Intimacy’ is a favorite! A must read!

“Written to change the way men view their female counterparts, Fighting for Her helps men to understand the value in their relationships and their own partners, thus finding reason to not give up on what has such worth.

“This well-padded, scriptural-based guide teaches what it means to have a foundation within the marriage. It teaches husbands to be consistent with their wives daily, to continuously be her best friend and how to give her both love and security.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Quintin Cooper’s new book will encourage and challenge those who wish to nurture healthy marriages.

With an energetic tone and empowering message, Cooper hopes to reach those in need of guidance and encouragement in order to help preserve the sanctity of marriage.

Consumers can purchase “Fighting for Her” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Reginald B. Holmes’s newly released “A Journey to Know God One Day at a Time” is an inspiring devotional that encourages spiritual growth


News Image

“A Journey to Know God One Day at a Time: A Thirty-Day Devotional Inspired by God’s Spirit That Fills My Heart and God’s Truth That Renews My Mind”: a potent reminder of the strength one can find by being active in faith. “A Journey to Know God One Day at a Time: A Thirty-Day Devotional Inspired by God’s Spirit That Fills My Heart and God’s Truth That Renews My Mind” is the creation of published author Reginald B. Holmes.

Holmes shares, “To the Reader,

“I was inspired to write this book to share my honesty about myself as a Christian. As I reflected on my journey to draw nearer to God, I realized that I was a Christian in name only. A man with religion but no relationship with God. Being honest with myself I know I fell short in words, actions, and thoughts as a representative of Jesus Christ. Today as I move forward drawing nearer to God, I examine my heart daily to see if I can be a light to someone in this world of darkness. My limited understanding of God is being transformed to a deeper relationship through study, prayer, meditation, and service. I hope this book will help someone seek the presence of God and submit to his life transforming power and authority.

“Isaiah 44:22 says, ‘I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud your sins, return to me, for I have redeemed you.’

“If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, pray this prayer, believe, and receive the free gift of eternal life.

“Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that you are the Savior, and you died on the cross for my sins, buried and rose from the dead according to the scriptures. I repent and ask you to forgive me for my sins. Come into my heart and take control of my life. By your blood, I am free from the punishment of sin. I am a new creation in Christ, born of God with the life and love of Jesus in me. My salvation has been sealed. Thank you for eternal life in Jesus’s name. Amen.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Reginald B. Holmes’s new book will inspire and empower readers to accept the offer of salvation.

Holmes shares in hopes of helping others find and nurture a strong relationship with God’s loving spirit.

“Maddy Learns from Her Garden”: an enjoyable opening to explore key Christian values with young readers. “Maddy Learns from Her Garden” is the creation of published author Timothy Wright, a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

Wright shares, “God gives us so many parables that have to do with gardening to help us understand Him. When He tells us to come to Him as children, I am reminded that being able to understand God’s words is not hard, and even a child can know His ways. Maddy Learns from Her Garden connects children with God not only with their minds but also with their hearts. We find that to go deep with God is a heart thing, not a mind thing. Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me,’ so it is my desire to open up a door for them to run into Jesus’s arms knowing He will be there to hold and teach them about Him. He is faithful to our children to teach and love and even save them. I am believing God for a harvest for not only my own grandchildren and children but for yours also. So in Jesus’s name, I am trusting the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do, draw our children’s hearts to Him, and impart in them a saving faith for God’s glory.”
