It is Dr. Catherine Braswells opinion that in our daily walk as a Christian, reading, studying, and learning the Word of God (Bible) is very important. But over the course of years, I have noticed that as Christians, it is very hard for many of us to take what we have learned and walk it out from day to day. We can read the Bible and tell others what we have read, but very few of us can actually take the words of the scripture and apply them to daily crisis. For this reason, I would like to introduce you to a guide that will teach you how to walk daily in the Word of God! This is a book of fifty-two weeks of biblical principles with weekly applications to help the reader or Christian practice as you go through life challenges. It will teach you how to face life challenges without losing or compromising your integrity. As you apply these principles, you should be able to see growth and maturity in life and learn how to trust God in every area and situation that you may encounter in this life.

Every believer is called by God, and His call is life-transforming. When this truth grips a person’s heart, he or she is never the same again. Immediately there comes into that life a deep sense of meaning and purpose and a devoted sense of accountability to God. Authors Henry Blackaby and Norman Blackaby lead men and women to explore the life-transforming, world-changing call that God gives every follower of Christ. Just as He did throughout the Bible, God is still calling His people, at this very hour, to accomplish His eternal purposes in redeeming the lost. God has a unique plan for each of His followers to be a part of His mission. Called and Accountable thoughtfully explores these questions: Why does God call us? What is a call? Who are the called? How am I called? When am I called? How do I live out the call?

In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus' arrest, trial and execution ends with the Roman centurion who oversees the death process proclaiming Jesus as God's son. Gamel explores two key questions in relation to this moment: what does the centurion mean when he says that Jesus is God's son, and why does he say it? The confession is not made on the basis of any signs nor from any indication that he perceives Jesus' death as honourable or exemplary. This apparent lack of motivation itself highlights a key Markan theme: that this insight is revealed by an apocalyptic act of God, signalled by the tearing of the temple veil. Thus the confession, which we can understand to be made sincerely and knowledgeably, is the result of an act of God's revelation alone. Gamel explores the theory of Mark depicting a story in which all human characters exhibit varying levels of blindness to the spiritual realities that govern their lives. By making a thorough examination of Mark's Gospel – while placing primary focus on the centurion, the study is unlimited and presents a serious examination of the whole Gospel – Gamel concludes his argument with the point that, at the foot of the cross, this blindness is decisively confronted by God's apocalyptic act. The offer of sight to the centurion demonstrates the reconciliation of God and humanity which are otherwise in Mark's Gospel repeatedly presented as antagonistic spheres. Finally, the fact that revelation is offered to a Gentile highlights the inclusion of the nations into the promises of Israel.

Stories can heal many minor and major problems without harming the listener. By telling a story to number of people, each one of them can subjectively relate the story to their own situation and find a solution to their problem, without even the story teller being aware of the nature of their problem. Stories can directly connect you to your inner subconscious powers and awaken this tremendous creative power, which will help you to deal with your daily challenges. Stories are also great tools for parents, to teach various moral and ethical values to their children. There are 52 sets of stories, wisdom, and spiritual exercises in this book. One set for every week of the year. Just as physical exercise helps us to build and improve our physical vitality, mental and spiritual exercises help you to build and improve your mental and spiritual well being. This incredible book is like a staircase with 52 steps. It is a very unique staircase because any one of the steps has the potential to get you directly to the top. And what awaits you up there? There you would find the gateway to spiritual freedom, inner peace, divine wisdom, love, success, abundance, creativity and happiness.
