Wolves Among Us: Biblical Principles To Identify And Expose Spiritual Predators by Linda Shirey

Wolves Among Us: Biblical Principles To Identify And Expose Spiritual Predators by Linda Shirey

Spiritual wolves pose a real threat to the health of any church, because they are disguised as sheep. In Matthew 7, Jesus commanded His disciples to beware of false prophets or “ravenous wolves”: “You will know them by their fruit.” But are wolves in the church easy to identify?

Wolves Among Us provides in-depth Biblical support and real-life experiences to help readers interpret the red flags of audience-hungry predators beyond their stage performance and carefully crafted masks. When members of Christ’s body are properly equipped, God’s word brings light, unity, and wisdom to a dark, disruptive, and dangerous experience.

This book is has been recognized for literary excellence, a two-time award winner with BookFest (2025 Third Place in Nonfiction – Religion – Christianity) and the Spring 2025 PenCraft competition (Best in Nonfiction – Self Help Religion).

The Mashiah: A Study of the Messianic Prophecies By Mark Stouffer

About The Mashiah: A Study of the Messianic Prophecies By Mark Stouffer:

The Tanakh, or Old Testament, contains a trove of prophecies. One of the key subjects of Biblical prophecy is the coming of the Messiah. In The Mashiah, author Mark Stouffer examines the messianic prophecies to see whether or not they foretell the life and mission of Jesus.

 Some of the questions we will consider in The Mashiah include:

1. Did the prophets give any indication that there would be two comings of the Messiah?
2. Why did Daniel predict that the Messiah would be killed?
3. Why did Zechariah prophesy that the Messiah will come at the end of time and have wounds?

 This book is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.

Forsaking All Others by Lakisha Johnson

Forsaking All Others by Lakisha Johnson

Raven loves her husband Russell and the life they’ve created over the past nineteen years with their two children. Since meeting her senior year of theology school, he’d always kept his promises. When they stood before God, vowing to forsake all others, he kept his word, and she had no reason to doubt him. When she stepped out on faith and planted Faith Covenant Church, five years ago, he was right there.

Until lately.

Lately, he’s been different. Russell says he’s not cheating, but then he calls her name. Peah. Peah is his weakness and the one he runs to. She’s the one he’ll lie to protect. She’s the one who truly has his heart. And Raven won’t contend with that.

In Forsaking All Others, will Raven and Russell’s marriage survive when the vows made before God, family, and friends no longer seem to hold the weight they once did?

The Land Beyond the River

About The Land Beyond the River:

The river has been crossed and life is beginning again. A new culture is taking root in The Land Beyond the River. But how to start? Many of the people are invested in this new start. They want to create an accepting, open place for all who to belong.

Luckily, they have records from “The Ancients”. The Ancients are the great philosophers from days of old who shared their wisdom with the people of the days of old. But they did not listen. The new peoples vow to abide by the wisdom they will learn.

And then, there is “Grandfather”, a sage who lived to cross the river. He brings practical knowledge and his own philosophy to the people.

It is a new beginning. The people are filled with hope, a yearning to learn the ways of old and a reverence for the voices of those who have gone before. We all stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. We gain strength with every river we cross – as long as we heed the wisdom we take with us to the water’s edge… and beyond.

Come and join the people as they begin again in The Land Beyond the River.
