Mankind has many conflicting ideas about what God is really like. God created the whole material universe by His Word, and then the Word of God emptied Himself to become a speck in a tiny part of it. Why? To show people exactly what God would be like if He lived in a limited human body like our own. This also allowed Him to become a perfect Example of how we should live on earth and to pay a just price for the sins of mankind, His creation. This little book provides a foundation for understanding the character and nature of God, showing how God's provision in Jesus is very different from what any religion provides. This difference is vital for preparing us for all eternity. God's way to save us through Jesus helps us to grow in true love and cuts through a deadly self-righteousness that, if God allowed it, would even lower the quality of heaven. This book was first written for people in South Sudan, but can help people anywhere who want to find meaning and purpose for their lives on earth.

A Christianity with little of Christ for generations causes a nation to become like Judah in Malachi. This includes nations in Western Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. Many people in all these nations have hearts hardened against the true God and His words to us. Malachi shows that God is preparing His faithful people, so that at the right time He will release them mightily as He did Jesus in Judea. This will heal the hardened hearts of many people who have not yet really tasted God's goodness in Jesus. God has made a way in Christ to rescue each of these nations from heading toward certain destruction into becoming Jesus' national disciple. Malachi helps us to see God's work in His people in any of these nations like Judah while the nation keeps corrupting itself. Then God's sudden release of His prepared people with great power and healing changes everything!

Focusing on the transformative power of the Body of Christ, this book explores God's plan for healing individuals and nations as outlined in key biblical texts like Ephesians and Romans. It emphasizes the Church's role in addressing moral corruption and highlights a divine strategy for believers to collectively achieve greater impact. By illustrating God's commitment to His plan, the book encourages readers to envision a future where the Church fulfills its potential in bringing about significant change in society through Jesus Christ.

The heart symbolizes the entire inner self in the Bible, signifying the essence of a person transitioning from earthly life to eternity. Emphasizing its importance for eternal well-being, God prioritizes the purification of hearts. This process involves divine guidance and the active cooperation of believers in Jesus, highlighting a partnership for spiritual growth and transformation.

The concept of servant leadership, as exemplified by Jesus, is central to fulfilling God's design for humanity. Leaders in His Kingdom are called to meet the true needs of others, both on earth and in eternity. The book explores how this leadership model applies to the Church, family, and even government, emphasizing the transformative power of the Gospel. By aligning our hearts with God's teachings, we can learn to love and lead in a way that reflects His intentions for our relationships and communities.

Exploring the concept of divine judgment, this book discusses how nations are held accountable for their sins before God, drawing on Biblical examples of national judgment. It highlights the prevalence of such judgments in the last 80 years, particularly in nations affected by atheistic communism and spiritual darkness. Emphasizing the potential for redemption, it advocates for believers to inspire their fellow citizens to embrace faith in Jesus, thereby seeking blessings for their nation. The book offers insights into the relationship between national sin and spiritual renewal.
