The Evidence curriculum is designed to give young believers confidence in their beliefs - that these are concrete. They need to be prepared to give a defense for their faith, same as big people! When children begin to see that the Bible is not the only source of our faith, but that archaeology, eye witness accounts, and creation actually support our beliefs, it is a game changer! They feel more confident in their salvation, as well as confident in sharing with others.

The Evidence curriculum explores faith from the perspective of apologetics. Creation theories are discussed and thoroughly examined. Evidence for creation is given. The eye witness accounts of Jesus Christ are explored. Archeology is discovered in a way that many students have never heard. Partner this evidential apologetics with true Bible stories such as Ehud the Judge, Jesus’ miracles and the Tower of Babel, and you have a dynamic way to grow the faith of students.

"Rev. Marbury's poetic assertions have always seemed to elevate the tenor and importance of the information being presented, making it, at once, something you wanted to hear...something you wanted to listen to; like a lovingly or carelessly whispered, heartfelt intonation. His book is an autobiographical, generation-spanning work of worship and praise to our Lord and Savior. It is realized through the prism of the history of Black people in America. This book is a profoundly introspective and unconventional poetic account of the pilgrimage of a poor, little asthmatic black boy from the Hill District of Pittsburgh to the corridors of America's most hallowed, powerful and elite institutions, and of the people met along the way, the challenges faced and overcome. Moreover, it is about the love, grace and mercy of the God who was always with him and who waited patiently on him to answer his call to ministry. My People, My People, My God is a spiritual, historical, sociological and racial American jazz exhortation from which the reader/hearer will be transported to empathic, immutable, soaring flight." The Reverend Grainger Browning, Senior Pastor, Ebenezer AME Church, Fort Washington, Maryland.

The book that you are about to read chronicles five journeys that travel from tragedy to triumph, illustrating the power of the human spirit. We have all read Dicken’s Christmas Carol, and O. Henry’s Gift of the Magi as works of fiction, but this book shows actual stories, true to life stories of people in dire situations, who were relieved by small acts of kindness. Each story documents a person or family in need of emotional or material help, and sometimes both; encountered in my line of duty as a fire fighter for the past 32 years. The Gift is in the Giving shows how by offering a minimum of compassion to others, the happiness you bring returns to you tenfold. "I hope you enjoy reading The Gift is in the Giving as much as I enjoyed living it.” - Bill Arienti Here is a sample of what readers are saying about The Gift is in the Giving.... Bill’s stories continue to touch my heart and show the real meaning of what life is about. I'll find myself tearing up but then laughing a few minutes later. These beautiful and entertaining stories tug at my heart strings. Thank you Bill for the wonderful life experiences that you share with us through your gift of writing. - Andrea Daiute-Sweet; Massachusetts.

This is a moving story about The Abundance Principle – the idea that true forgiveness is generosity in practice. We are all called to live freely and fully in forgiving generosity. Life doesn’t always make sense – friends who suddenly turn against us, beloved spouses who walk out on us, coworkers who scheme to undercut us, family members who mock and deride us, fellow worshippers who stab us at the back even after serving them so well – yet, The Abundance Principle compels us to rise above the muddled waters of resentment and pettiness and extend forgiveness to others, not just barely but generously. Living out The Abundance Principle brings inner freedom and fullness, guaranteeing an enduring legacy. Jack’s story shows us exactly how to do it, and highlights the steps involved in living out The Abundance Principle. As we immerse ourselves in his story, we suddenly discover that we are also at the center of the story – a story that is deeply human, intriguing, relevant, and freeing.

"In Passionate Christianity, Susan Ellis stands with the great revivalist John Wesley, in reminding us that true renewal is only found in returning to that which is old; in passionately pursuing the timeless rather than being distracted by the temporal; in setting aside the fashionable and humbly submitting to the eternal Word of God." - Everett Piper, PhD. President, Oklahoma Wesleyan University.

While spiritual complacency leading to apathy may not be unique to modern Christianity, it is viewed in Scripture as a serious problem that must be addressed in every generation. Matthew spoke of this spiritual lethargy in his gospel account. Paul warned about a great falling away in his second letter to the Thessalonians. Jesus cautioned believers against the dangers of indifference in His letters to the seven churches. Even a cursory look at the history of Israel reveals the cycle of returning and living for God, only to fall away again. This lesson series addresses this important issue in a way that helps believers reclaim their ‘first love’ for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. The study is practical, uplifting, and rooted in Scripture.

"Solomon Says: Godly Wisdom for Victorious Living by Cheryl Gangl presents an extremely helpful study for believers who desire to be fully devoted followers of Christ. Cheryl's engaging style is punctuated by insightful and current life applications thoroughly grounded in biblical truth. In addition to the basic study format which is well paced and balanced, the Leader Guide provides worthy suggestions for those who seek to disciple fellow believers by sincere investment in their lives.

Each of the 10 lessons could stand alone as a worthy independent study. Taken together, the chapters form a beautiful tapestry of wisdom teaching which can benefit the new believer and the time seasoned Christian as well. Even though the overall length of each study could be considered brief, any person who follows this curriculum will be extremely well rewarded. After a lifetime of biblical study and 49 years of gospel ministry I can wholeheartedly recommend this special study of Proverbs to any and all who have embarked upon the joyful journey of life in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior."
