SECRETS OF A FRUITFUL HEART is a powerful, in-depth exploration of Jesus' Parable of the Sower. The wayside soil represents places in our hearts that have been trampled hard. The stones represent pockets of compromise that hinder our roots. The weeds represent cares and pleasures that choke our fruitfulness. With three powerful images, Jesus gave us His model of discipleship. When we soften our hearts, remove our stones, and cut back our weeds, our hearts become increasingly fruitful to God. This book is a compelling resource for every disciple who wants to be more fruitful.

Narrated with the warmth of a flickering fire and the grit of a long journey, The Dogs That Bind Us is an immersive global odyssey into the heart of the world’s oldest friendship. There is a silent treaty signed in the dirt thousands of years ago. We call it The Binding. It is the golden thread that connects a home office in the Pacific Northwest to a dusty rhino sanctuary in South Africa; a crowded subway in Chicago to a snow-choked pass in the Himalayas.

This volume gathers studies by prominent scholars and philosophers about the question how have major figures from the history of philosophy, and some contemporary philosophers, addressed "the ultimate why question": why is there anything at all rather than nothing whatsoever? The authors take this question seriously, striving to go beyond accounting for the present state of reality as distinguished from a prior or subsequent state, to the more profound question of discerning why anything whatsoever exists.

Another book on Christian living, why in the world would we need that? I think that you will find that what I lay out in the following book is really nothing new, at least what the pieces are, but rather over the last 50 years I have connected the dots together a little differently that makes life make a whole lot more sense than the path I took. My prayer is that with this book as a guide, you will find that Christianity is a whole lot more than you ever imagined.
