He answered, God is faithful. His word has not failed. Let me show you how.But the beauty of Romans 9 has been lost. It has been lost in a controversy over its meaning as different sides in a centuries-long debate have used it as an arsenal for weapons. Is it possible to regain what Paul was saying? Is it possible to hear freshly the story that Paul was telling?Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.

Today, Roberta talks to Keith Dixon about his new book Paul's Journal, available from Liberty Hill Publishingpublishers.A fresh and inspiring account of history's most important Church builder - from his perspective. Far from the untouchable images of heaven-gazing saints, the apostle Paul ruthlessly focused on his earthly duty to build God's Church. Before his dramatic conversion he had violently tried to stamp out a heretical sect of Jews - the first Christians. But Paul's encounter with Christ turned his boundless energy to building the young and fragile Church into an established and enduring body. For many modern Christians, Paul's eagerness to act for the Lord, willingness to face danger, and seemingly inexhaustible zeal make him the very model of Godly purpose. But Paul was not perfected on the Road to Damascus. He was human, with a life that spanned decades of personal and spiritual development. Taking the Bible as literal Truth, Paul's Journal offers readers the opportunity to walk with this pivotal messenger of Christ, from the Acts to the letters and beyond. Presented as a first-hand account, it places Paul's familiar voice within enriching historical and cultural contexts that will engage and edify any Christian. Shining a new light on his life from persecutor to martyr, this may be the second-best narrative of Paul ever written. Keith Dixon graduated from Hillsdale College with a degree in History before finishing law school and becoming in-house counsel for a small engineering firm. He never expected to write this book, so Paul's Journal sat in a computer file for the better part of a decade before Keith finally finished the manuscript. By the grace of God, who kept him safe through some fairly wild years, Keith lives with his wife - fellow Hillsdale-grad, Jennica - their three children Adelaide, Clarence Patrick, and Eloise, and their German Shepherd Fenrir in an idyllic western Wisconsin neighborhood.Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.

Today, Roberta talks to Phil Zielke about his new book Seeing the Good In It, available from Oasis Audio publishers.WHERE IS HOPE FOUND IN TIMES OF DEEP SUFFERING? At the age of twenty-two, Phil Z was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

In your darkest times, who is there for you? What is your source of strength and peace? What promises can you cling to that actually bring hope?

Today, Roberta talks to Charity Gibson about her new book The Working Homemaker: Employed Christian Moms Desiring a Thriving Homelife.Homemaking is about values and priorities rather than job status.

Labyrinth of the World was written 55 years prior to Pilgrim’s Progress yet it remains virtually unknown to English readers. Now this work has been made more approachable for readers of every type.In this newly adapted and illustrated tale, Pilgrim, the protagonist, meets many characters with character trait names. He experiences despair, vanity, and violence as well. Pilgrim desires to live a good life, to be meaningful and significant. He must choose a life's involvement. To do so, he goes on a tour of the world to see what he might put his hand to doing. He is aided in his tour by Mr. Ubiquitous and Mr. Delusion, whose sole effort is to get Pilgrim to see the world as they want him to see it. Pilgrim gets to see all the world offers in work, life, and meaning. Yet he is baffled. His guides get frustrated with his seeming obstinance. He then is tried before Wisdom, queen of the world. Finally, Pilgrim is abandoned by his journey guides. He becomes despondent. However, he meets Jesus Christ and his life is transformed.This book illustrates how a follower of Christ can live in a world that is falling apart and rise above the existence of their times. This volume also features a significant section about the author –John Amos Comenius–his times, and his legacy that will encourage us in our own day.

Today, Roberta talks to Carl Barrett about his new book God's Holiness vs. Man's Lawlessness, available from Resource Publications publishers.""We will always obey our Lord at all costs."" This is the opposite of the spirit of lawlessness, which despises authority and cultivates chaos, division, and destruction. And there is no doubt that lawless and unrighteous acts are on the rise throughout this country. In a time when unholiness is rampant in our homes, schools, communities, churches, and abroad, there are alarming concerns about these escalating acts. If we're not students of God's word, growing in his grace and love as believers, we can find ourselves vulnerable to the rise of unholiness because it can distort our minds, heart, and attitude. It's important that God's children are on the front line in pursuing God's most divine nature of holiness and living as intentional followers of Christ. Because make no mistake: God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not pleased with all the unholy practices saturating our lives. They are calling believers to intercede in the gap and bridge God's holiness in people's lives! As devout Christians, we are needed more than ever because an intense battle of spiritual warfare is spreading where evil is trying to take over, and we cannot allow this to happen.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Jill Atogwe about her new book Left Out: Believing My Story is for God's Glory, available from B&H Kids publishers.Have you ever wondered if, when God was creating you, He left something out? As kids grow up and start comparing themselves to one another, feelings of inadequacy creep into their hearts.Did God forget to make me as tall as everyone else?Why didn't God make me able to eat the food those kids can eat?I wonder if God left out my ability to sing like the rest of my family.Why didn't God give me straight hair? Pretty skin? Name-brand clothes?Left Out is a rhyming reminder that while God didn't give everyone the same bodies or abilities, everything God left out is something He can use to write our stories for His glory. First-time author Jill Atogwe compels kids to believe that God uses what we see as our weaknesses to make us strong. By leaving some things out, we can learn to trust Him instead of ourselves. After all, God sets boundaries for his children in pleasant places (Psalm 16:5–8). The cute and quirky illustrations show an array of kids of diverse races, varying cultures, different abilities and disabilities, distinct talents, and various socioeconomic statuses. As kids read and look through the pictures, they'll see that every child wonders if God accidentally left something out of them. But God doesn’t accidentally do anything; He intentionally created each person differently for His special purpose. By the end of the book, kids will be repeating the book's chorus, “What God left out is part of my story; It's all for my good and all for His glory!”Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Daniel Wright about his new book The Redemption Corridor: Understanding Sacred Topography in the Holy Land, the Pattern of YHVH, and the Way of the Messiah.Centered in Israel’s biblical heartland, lies a narrow strip of terrain, which I believe is a chosen region, above all others on the earth. I call it The Redemption Corridor. This unique swath of land was exclusively selected by YHVH (the God of Israel) for His own sovereign work of both implementing and commemorating the redemption of humanity. Within this terrestrial rectangle, an astonishing list of familiar, biblical events (and especially their geographic locations) all appear to have been arranged in an obvious east-to-west, somewhat linear, orientation.In this book, I will explain the who, what, and where of these amazing events straight from the text of the Bible. I will further elucidate my findings and speculations using extra-biblical writings, historical sources, archaeological data, and toponymy. I am convinced the origin, function, and purpose of the Redemption Corridor is older than the earth itself, from eternity past. I believe that in our shared future, this remarkable strip of land will absolutely play the central role in YHVH’s global consummation of this terrestrial planet into Divine Holiness—the Geulah (or Redemption) foretold by the prophets (and sages) of Israel.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Designed to be highly practical, Serving as Jesus Served offers readers specific Bible passages that describe our responsibilities as servants and how to implement them in a world that pursues the opposite.Each chapter highlights a specific passage of Scripture for deeper study and includes a real-life story that illustrates how a servant is to respond to difficulties, opposition, or resistance from others. Every story is followed by a biblical application essay, a Take-away Thought, a Prayer of Confession, a Call to Action, and a Call to Serve prompt for every day of the week. Also included are inspirational quotations, memory verses, and introspective questions for readers to contemplate and pray about. Serving as Jesus Served answers the question posed by many earnest believers: “How do I best serve Jesus in a world so hostile to my faith?”Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.
