God is waiting for each of us to return home! In fact, God is already out in the world searching and inviting each person to take the journey back to God's house. Relational Discipleship: Moving Back Home with God approaches discipleship from a fresh perspective and intentionally draws on biblical principles and examples of discipleship. In this approach, the metaphor of a house is used to describe our journey back to God. Hospitality plays a key factor in how discipleship, from this perspective, warmly calls each person forward in each step. Other modes of discipleship are solely focused on transformation of the disciple. Here, in this model, the transformation of the discipler must occur first. Then, the discipler can be a warm host helping other travelers on the path to God's house. Join in the journey today and see how Relational Discipleship offers the call to move back home with God.

Jan explains, ?I create word pictures of places and events from our trips, describe how they relate to life, then listen and search for the presence of God.?

The Black Hills Of South Dakota ????? ????? ?God?s Survival Plan? ????. Mount St. Helens Revisited Jan describes this as ?finding God in the everyday stuff of life.? She sees more than the sight or event itself. God uses it as a teaching tool, a parable to speak to Jan?s soul and to encourage her to listen for His still small voice. TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific Northwest will appeal to those seeking God?s presence in their lives, to travelers, retirees, and anyone longing for greater significance and purpose in their journeys. ???? ????? ?

Come, take a journey and go TRAVELING WITH THE LORD.?

Maintaining a healthy physical body and fulfilling the call on your life are two mandates that are intertwined, as both must be in sync. Most things in life are connected and relate with equal importance to the mind, body and spirit. Since you must carry these three things on a daily basis, why not lighten the load and take the healthiest most productive you on the long haul? Seriously, you wouldn't drag a 50 pound sack of potatoes with you to a theme park, would you? This journey is not meant to be a cake-walk; It will be challenging at times, but the destination is well worth the struggle. Remember, life shapes us all, but we have a say in the mold it uses.

Christformation is about the divine nature of Christ being successfully formed in you to the fullest, which is the Heavenly Father's predestined and eternal will for you. Christ is formed in your born-again spirit with the indispensable help of God, the Holy Spirit. Your soul-your mind-is only then transformed into the mind of Christ in proportion to Christformation that has already occurred in your born again spirit. The extent to which you obey Christ our Lord will determine how much you are sowing into your new being. As a result of your obedient sowing, you will finally reap a proportionate body to clothe the Christ-formed spirit and transformed soul upon Christ's second coming. Your imperishable, Christ-conformed body is being built at God's right hand now, according to your personal obedience to His word. Therefore, isn't it then important to obey God the Holy Spirit's leading for full Christformation in you? Would you want to be found partially unclothed or shamefully naked of Christ's divine nature before God the Heavenly Father? This book highlights what you need to know about Christformation in you. These questions below are answered with Bible references to guide you to more truths about this essential experience in every believer of Christ, in fulfillment of God's promise: - What is Christformation in you? - Why is Christformation in you necessary? - Where else is Christformation mentioned in the Bible? - How does Christformation occur in you? - Who will have Christformation? - Who is involved with your Christformation? - When does full Christformation happen in you?

"In God's House! Beautiful! Let's Go!, Jane Ann Derr has told us more than we have a right to ask. She has let us into the world of her marriage, her family, her work, her loss, her fears, and her happiness. She has let us into her faith in God and her devotion to Jesus Christ. She has let us into her husband's illness and death, and into the grief and resolve of her life as the one who survived. But her real interest is what she has seen of the goodness and mercy of God." -Stephen E. Broyles, author of The Wind that Destroys and Heals. "I highly recommend this book, especially for those who are called upon to pass through this valley of shadows." -Neil R.
