Joe Wells – författare

In Game Plan: Develop a Spiritually Winning Strategy for Adults and Teens in Today’s Culture, Joe Wells presents a well-researched and practical look at the challenges that can prevent teenagers from reachingthe number one goal: Heaven. With a Biblical worldview as its foundation, Game Plan not only addresses the real issues (the attack on absolute truth, the agendas being forced upon our teens, and the mediums by which they are inundated with these messages); it strives to equip adults and teens with a winning approach to living a life that is pleasing to God. We must not simply react. We must face the opposition with a Game Plan.

Wouldn't it be awesome to be a real princess...not just for a day...or for a month...but forever?!

God invites us to be just that, and then gives us the perfect instruction manual for becoming His child and living like a courageous daughter of The King. The life of a genuine princess comes with great responsibility and fantastic reward! When we study the Word of God and apply it to our lives, we show the world what a child of God really can be. A daughter of The King lives her life doing what Jesus, the Son of God, would do. However, a true princess realizes that because she is the daughter of The King, she will often be treated like His Son was treated.

A daughter of God is secure in knowing that she was made in God's image and that He is the first love in her life. There are very few things quite as stunning or as powerful as an Everyday Princess: Daughter of the King!

"Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life." (Revelation 2:10)

Paul wrote, "Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more"  (1 Thess. 4:1). To "excel still more" is to achieve that which is set in front of you. In our case Heaven has been set in front of us, and it is up to us to walk in a worthy manner. When I excel, I grow; when I excel still more, I grow and grow and grow! 

The Excel Still More Bible Workshop is directed toward a deep study of a particular book or topic of the Bible. Our platform is a simple three-step pattern. 

1.   Learn the text 

This section of the study is designed to go through the text in a verse-by-verse fashion, identifying key words, phrases, and verses. 

2.   Apply the text 

In this section, our aim is to make practical application of the text that will serve as a bridge between what we study in the first section and the impact it has in our life.

3.   Build off the text 

This third section will focus on "faith builders," the additional nuggets we glean from the text that help us grow in our own faith. 

Our hope in this great study is simple: to help you learn the text, apply the text, and build a strong faith. Our intent for this book is to provide an easy-to-use resource with reliable resources so you can gain profitable knowledge from the text. As Christians, we want to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and we pray this resource will be a tool to help us all do that.

Sometimes as we study the Bible, we do so in small “chunks.” We learn about Adam and Eve, Noah and the flood, the accounts of Jesus, and the letters to of Paul. These are all wonderful, and each is crucial to our understanding of spiritual principles and lessons to be applied in our lives. However, sometimes we study these in such separate categories that we fail to remember the overall theme and connection throughout the Bible – the reality of a loving God redeeming mankind from the depth of separation our sin causes.

Sin to Salvation is a 13-chapter guide that will help you, individually or in a group setting like a class, keep the big picture – the BIG PICTURE. Along this journey, you’ll discover:

How Sin Entered the World

God’s Nature is to Redeem

The Plan God Put Forth to Rescue Us

The Consideration of The Judgment Day

The purpose of this book is to direct you to God’s Word for the answers you and your friends have been asking or at least thinking about when it comes to your own salvation. It’s a great resource because it simply allows God’s Word to do the talking.

If you’ve been thinking about salvation, or maybe you have a friend who you would like to talk with about their salvation, then Sin to Salvation is definitely for you. As you walk through the pages, you will be confronted with questions that are meant to make you think and will challenge you as you reflect. Allow these questions to work on you. Answer them honestly, and as your study concludes, you will see what God’s plan is for you to move from Sin to Salvation.

Read what some who have been where you are have said: 

"This book is a very helpful tool for both parents and children who are going through the difficult and life changing process of divorce. It personally gave me a sense of hopefulness and encouragement that I honestly did not expect. It assured me that what I was feeling was normal, okay, and part of the whole experience of coping and getting through the difficulty of divorce." - Fain Watson (parents divorced when she was 18)

"What an invaluable resource for any teen to have that is asking the 'how' and 'why' questions of their parents' divorce.
