The Bible is one continuous story, from the story of creation to the story of Jesus' future return at the end of time. And yet there are smaller, pivotal stories that make up the basic structure of this one big story. This book is a series of 52 lessons that walk you through the main stories of the Bible, 26 in the Old Testament (the time leading up to Jesus) and 26 in the New Testament (the time of Jesus and beyond). These lessons are geared especially for people who learn better through stories than teaching. Prepare yourself as you go on a spiritual JOURNEY THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE.

Robert Warren pastors Faith, Hope, and Love Ministries, a church located in Suffolk, Virginia. Born December 2, 1950, he was raised in a small area of Suffolk, known as Driver. Upon graduating from John F. Kennedy High School, located in Suffolk, VA; he attended C. H. Mason Bible College and The Virginia Seminary and College in Lynchburg, Virginia. Happily married to the loving Mary Baker Warren, a woman, after God's own heart; the two reside in Suffolk, Virginia. Robert Warren is a lover of people who loves preaching God's word and is a poet at heart. His inspiration for this book came from a dream he once had several years ago. In this dream he saw the light that David had seen in Psalm 119:105 appear where it says; Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Bright, beaming, and shaped like a ball; men were passing this spherical ball of light to one another. Seemingly to had never hit the ground; these men had come from everywhere and every walk of life frantically enjoying this bright, beaming ball of light. "What does this mean?" You ask! The bright, beaming ball of light represents God's word and how he wants us to pass it on to EVERY man, woman, and child. But don't just pass it on needlessly, find pleasure in it! Enjoy passing on God's Word so that others may see your shining joy and want to pass it on also. Stay focused, don't faint, and remember to keep the ball of light going, never dropping it. When we pass His Word, lives are changed. Thus, resulting in the writing of this book, God's Heavenly Messages. This is one way I have chosen to pass God's Word around, believing it will help people change their lives and come to know Jesus Christ.

Open up any children's book on dinosaurs and what do you see on the very first line of the first page? "Millions of years ago," right? But have you ever stopped to think that if God created all of the life on the planet including the dinosaurs, then why doesn't it say, "In the beginning God?" Could it be that someone is hiding the truth from us? Could it be that we're being brainwashed with an evolutionary lie about dinosaurs so we'll never discover the Biblical truth about God? The answer is simply, yes. And that's why this series, A Fearful Creation, not only shows you the true history of dinosaurs, but it also shows you the true lesson of dinosaurs.

In this study you will see such amazing evidence that answers such thought provoking questions as, "Does the Bible Mention Dinosaurs?" "Did Man Coexist with Dinosaurs?" "Did a Flood Destroy the Dinosaurs?" "Do Dinosaurs Still Live Today?"

Do I Love God? The Question That Must Be Answered is written for the purpose of helping believers in Christ, as well as those curious about God, evaluate their relationship with God. The most important priority and assurance in life is knowing God! Because God is a trinity of persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who have loved one another in full and perfect relationship from eternity and is thus relational, we who are made in his image can actually know him personally and walk in loving relationship with him. God is not impersonal; he is love. Loving God is why we are created. Using the three domains of the heart—know, feel, do—the reader is encouraged to take a personal look into what he believes about Christ, how he loves others and how he seeks purity of life. Assurance of a relationship with God is gained through proper doctrinal belief, passionate spirituality, and godly obedience. These three tests of assurance are evidence that one loves God. God is a God of grace. Do I Love God? will help the reader explore the depth of God’s grace and his love!
