(Have you ever heard people brag about how they fibbed a l...)
Have you ever heard people brag about how they fibbed a little and got the best end of a deal? The storyteller makes himself look like the smart guy and the victim the dummy. One man tells of fibbing to the police officer and getting out of a ticket. Another boasts of collecting a little extra insurance by pointing to prior damage on a vehicle-damage that was not a part of the accident being investigated. Someone relates that he bought a gift for his girlfriend and claimed it as a business expense. Lying and cheating have become common practice for many people. Is this a laughing matter, or does it represent a serious decline in moral standards? Is dishonesty just a clever way to get ahead, or will it lead to a bitter harvest for our society? Schrock clearly addresses this malady from a biblical perspective.

"You re not wearing that, are you? Such questions often lead into quarrelsome conflicts. Dad wants his son to look more decent and Mom is not happy with her daughter s wardrobe. One way to stir up strife is to register a concern about immodesty and indecency. The conflict is fueled by those who say “God doesn t care how you dress. He looks on the heart, not the outward appearance. Is that really what the Bible teaches? Is it true that God doesn t care how His redeemed children dress themselves? What does the Bible say about appearance? This book has served many through personal studies and group studies. Every preacher and Bible teacher could benefit from this book.

( Simon Schrock writes that life is worth living and that...)
Simon Schrock writes that life is worth living and that life at its best includes a commitment to the lordship of Jesus Christ. He sincerely believes that to miss the Christian life, and consequently heaven, is a high price to pay. To experience the fullness of life, Schrock observes, one must honestly face questions about the future, about one and relationships with others and with the Creator. The response to these questions will determine your destiny, whether you have found life or missed it. To miss life is to miss everything. In this book Simon Schrock presents in a simple and beautiful way the meaning of personal faith in Christ. He calls the reader again and again to the awareness that Christian experience and fellowship with Christ saves us from lostness here and now, and are worth the cost. I recommend this book to the reader as a pilgrimage in faith. - Mayron Augsburger 128 pages

(Jesus told us that the greatest commandment is to love Go...)
Jesus told us that the greatest commandment is to love God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind and the second greatest is to love our neighbor as ourselves. We often emphasize the vertical relationship with God, while the horizontal relationships with our neighbors are neglected. Simon Schrock has written a gentle reminder to each of us about our duty to our fellow man. At one time or another, everyone needs a helping hand, an encouraging pat on the back, or simply someone to listen. One Anothering prompts us to be genuine and loving in our relationships with Christ as our example. We depend on each other and will continue to rely upon togetherness and the nurtured relationships of those we know and love in the future. This book can enrich the quality of our experience with others at home, at work, and at worship
