Just as Jesus spoke to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, so too will He speak personally to the reader as he or she walks with Him.

In Walk With Me, Jesus says, Let me take you to that moment when I will enter your heart. To walk with Jesus, to be with Him, to listen to Him, to hear Him, makes it possible to become more like Him so that little by little our hearts and minds reflect Jesus.

I want to let you know who you are to Me and to My Father. And to tell you that We need you. To you, beloved one, God gives His life and calls you into His very life. Come and see how our life together grows from simply being together each day.

God has His perfect plan for each of us; each of us is completely in His mind, and His will for each is perfect. The way of Jesus is the holy way, the wonder-filled way, the way that bears much fruit in our life and in the world.

I am the Friend who, through our friendship, will bring you further into eternal life. It is the life He alone brings and nourishes.

Give Him that moment to be with Him, to listen to Him, to hear Him, to let Him touch your life, and to let Him lead you. (233 words)

Happiness. What is it? Why is it so central to mans being? Why is its pursuit central to mans activity on earth? Does God have anything to say about happiness? Does God have anything to do with mans happiness? Can we bring about our own happiness? Can we destroy our own happiness? Would anyone deliberately set out to be unhappy? Would unhappiness ever be our goal in life?

So begins Happiness Is by Dennis E. Coates, author of Walk with Me. Dennis contends that happiness is of the very nature of human life, that happiness is its purpose, and that happiness is meant to be permanent in life, both now and in the hereafter. Furthermore, Dennis contends that happiness has its origin in God Himself who made us in His image. This has importance in the very meaning of happiness and how we obtain it.

God made us for himself, to be in eternal communion with him. This one single claim makes sense of mankind, why he was created, and what it is that gives man his deepest meaning and fulfills his deepest yearnings.

But are these things true? How do we know theyre true? How important is truth itself? What flows from truth? Human experience has taught us how important truth is--truth frees and falsehood enslaves.

There is something within man that needs God, created by God himself, and something given by God to meet that need. At its base, the need is for happiness, and happiness, once understood, has its source in one place alone, God himself. This truth is pivotal to mans well-being as a full human being. It is Gods revelation about this core nature of man that is essential to mans own self-understanding. St. Augustine expressed this in one simple line: Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.

Gods own revelation of eternal life provides the very meaning for our existence. It reveals the eternal mind of the Father, what he had in mind for mankind even before creation--a being that would have life through, with, and in him. Truth has its yield. Our own happiness is linked to knowing what it is. But the truth about God is subject also to our reason. We have discovered that religious truth must stand the test of human reason, experience, and time.

Truth and Its Yield deals with the very importance of truth itself.
