In Every Good Thing, David W. Jones illustrates the wide variety of areas impacted by our understanding of the Bible's teaching on the material realm. This short book surveys key concepts and controversies on each topic, accompanied by Bible passages to help readers develop a more robust worldview of the physical world around us.

Socrates, Plato, and others described themselves as philo-sophia, or lovers of wisdom. In this book, David Jones collects wisdom stories from different cultures, religions, and eras and combines them in one readable collection using one main character, Sophia. Almost all religions have wisdom stories, and almost all stories have male main characters, in this collection, the stories are accessible, helpful, and have a feminine flair.

"Who am I?" Simple question. "You are ill," says the psychiatrist. "You are a sinner!" shouts the preacher. "You are so much more," offers Jesus. "David has creatively managed to synergize various concepts from the schools of psychology with the practical principles of the Judeo-Christian faith." Mark Bryan, Glen Leven Presbyterian Church, Nashville. "As a modern day, charismatic, spirit-filled, evangelical, progressive, "you want some of this here" kind of Christian, I found David's book to be more inspiring than a 24-7-365 Pentecostal revival in Florida! David has most accurately articulated the truth that really makes us all free!" Rodney Beard, Living Word, Antioch, TN. "David Jones provides a pragmatic approach to weaving various psychological approaches into the Gospels in a way that provides... a fresh look at familiar stories and mental health professionals with strategies for bringing clients' Christian faith into their treatment." Nancy Nolan, Vanderbilt University.

When someone challenges you to think outside of the box, just laugh because you know there is no box.

Why fit in when you were born to stand out? There is a view of life, that where the crowd is, the truth is there also, and that the truth, in order to have merit, needs the crowd on its side. However, there is another view of life, which holds that wherever the crowd is, there is untruth... Soren Kierkegaard The purpose of the book is to help individuals come out of their crowds and into their calling, not just for the hope of each life, but for the sake of the world. Change on a large scale starts in a very small way. I call it the Rosa Parks Philosophy. When she chose to take a stand by keeping her seat, the world started to change. A great movement began with one person. Scott Peck referred to the power of the individual this way, The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual.... For it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

Read about Moses' call to Egypt alongside a family's vacation to Disney World and learn how to see holy ground all around you, anytime, everywhere, in the promised land, or the family van.
