2. God's Big Picture
Tracing the Storyline of the Bible
A clear, accessible overview that presents the Bible as a single unfolding story of God’s plan to rescue and renew creation: God creates a good world, humanity rebels, God chooses and shapes a people through covenant and law, promises a king and restoration fulfilled in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, and sends the Spirit to form the church as a witnessing, mission-driven community living under God’s kingdom as we await the promised new creation; the book emphasizes how themes like promise, covenant, law, prophecy and gospel fit together and shape Christian life and mission today.

A concise, pastoral guide that diagnoses how pornography damages individuals, marriages, and church life, explains the psychological and habit-forming dynamics that make it hard to stop, and frames the problem theologically while offering practical paths to recovery. It blends compassion with conviction, urging confession, repentance, and the rebuilding of sexual integrity through community, accountability, biblical formation, and practical safeguards, and offers guidance for pastors, partners, and sufferers on restoring relationships and resisting relapse.

4. True Friendship
This short, gospel-centered study looks at the biblical meaning and practice of friendship, showing how authentic friendships are rooted in Christ and marked by honesty, encouragement, mutual accountability, forgiveness, and sacrificial commitment. It identifies common obstacles—selfishness, busyness, envy, and avoidance of conflict—then gives practical advice for forming, deepening, and restoring friendships in the context of church life, including how to speak truth in love, pray for one another, and bear one another’s burdens. The overall argument is that true friendship is a spiritual discipline and a means of growth that displays the love and grace of God.
