How Do I Pray? The Bible Tells Us How
It is said that praying is how we communicate with God. We are encouraged to pray often according to the Bible. We can ask Him for things we need in life and we can pray for the needs of others. We can also use this time of prayer to express our gratitude for all that God has done for us. Praying can be a wonderful way of strengthening our relationship with the One that created us.
But, do we really know how to pray?
Do we know the proper words to say?
When is the best time to communicate with God?
Is He more responsive in the morning or at night?
Is praying even important in a Christian's life?
And if we decide to add prayer to our daily schedule, are we guaranteed that He is even listening?
Does God sometimes answer our requests with a 'no'? And why do some prayer answers take so long?
These are some of the questions we try to answer in this guide. Join us today as we learn more about the Christian prayer. We hope this guide is a blessing to you.

Genesis: The Beginning, The Fall And The Promise
As we probably already know, Genesis is the first book of the Bible. It's in the Old Testament section in the front - right after the book cover. It's fairly easy to find. Genesis was written around 1450 - 1410 B.C. by a man we all have heard of before... Moses. Ring a bell? I thought so. It is a well-known book because it provides us with the story of creation. It tells us how, life as we know it, all began. It gives us God's original 'perfect' plan for humanity and life, while revealing the freedom He gave us to make our own choices on how we want to live it. We learn the person and nature of God (as Creator, Sustainer, Judge and Redeemer) and the value of human beings (made in God's image, saved by grace and used by God in the world). We also learn what happens when we sin (the fall, the separation from God and His judgment). Importantly, we learn about hope (God's promises, forgiveness and the promised Messiah).
In this guide, we study the Book Of Genesis and share it with you. As with all of our guides, we explain it in simple language with a dose of humor and super cool cartoon illustrations. We hope you are blessed by reading it.

Revelation: The End Is Near?
Disciple/Apostle John wrote Revelation while a prisoner on the Island of Patmos (around 85-95 A.D.) Its purpose is to give encouragement and hope for all Christians to continue watching for the return and triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ. It also is to warn of the Final Judgment that nonbelievers will endure on that Last Day. The Book of Revelation from the Bible is God's way of warning the world that one day it will stop turning. This will be a time when His wrath on the sinful nature of mankind will be released. But, because Revelation is a 'warning', God is giving us time to turn to Him.
The Book of Revelation has a lot of things going on and can be hard to understand. In this guide, we provide explanations to the scriptures in layman terms. We also offer cartoon illustrations and humor to make reading it enjoyable. This guide is perfect for Bible study groups and individual studies.

Acts: The Early Days Of The Christian Church
Acts of the Apostles is basically a History Book with several sermons. It was written by Luke, who was a Gentile doctor, around 60 - 62 A.D. It's his sequel to the Gospel of Luke and it emphasizes that this book records the 'acts of the Apostles through the work of the Holy Spirit'. It records how believers were empowered by the Holy Spirit, worked to spread the Gospel of Christ and are a model for the future church.
Acts of the Apostles is also the history of the birth, the founding and the spread of the Church from Jerusalem to Rome. It also records the transition of the Church from being almost exclusively a Jewish institution into becoming a Gentile and an international institution. Consequently, it records the transition of Christianity from a Jewish religion into an international faith. The Gospel of salvation is for all because Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
This book is relevant to the world today because it tells us when Christianity began. In this guide, we take a deeper look into the scriptures and explain it to you in layman terms. The humor and cartoon illustrations are included just for fun. This guide is perfect for Bible study groups and individual studies.

Being A Man: According To The Bible
There is a code that most folks from the male species live by that is given to us from birth. It's not written down anywhere for us to read, study and practice. It's more like a chemical - it's part of our chromosomes and DNA - that flows through our bodies, our blood and brains. It tells us how we should act in all situations, how we should think and how to express ourselves in our environments. It's like a survival mechanism created just for men. Being a man in this world means living by the man code. We are judged by our fellow men that we socialize with daily. They will give you strange looks when you attempt to do something that is considered 'not manly'. You can be shunned from the manly community and lose your imaginary 'man card' for doing anything that only females are known to do. Following the man code is a serious thing.
Since there is not a written document in place, we have to ask, "Where did this 'man code' come from? Where did it originate? And what exactly is in there?" And because if there is no written document, who's to say that it didn't get changed along the way? Maybe this man code that men have been living by for hundreds of years is wrong. What then?
Today, we take a closer look at this 'man code' and compare it to what the Bible says. The Bible has been around for hundreds of years and is one of the ways God, our Creator, communicates with us. Maybe we can discover what He intends for us, as men, to really be. I mean, He created man and had the original plan for manhood - that would make Him the only source we should really look to and we can find the details in the Bible.
My prayer today is that we can learn something from this guide about ourselves - the good, the bad and the ugly - and apply what we receive from God's Word to our lives. I hope that we make the appropriate steps to become better people - better men. I believe that God has a perfect plan for us and wants us to live productive lives. He wants us to have great relationships with our wives, kids, families and friends.

The Gospel: From A Four-Sided View
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. - Matthew 28: 19, 20
According to the Bible, Jesus told us to share The Gospel with the world. The problem in society today is that many of us don't know what this 'gospel' truly is... we've lost touch with Him and the assignment that He has given us all to do.
