Each year, hundreds of thousands of children and adults in the USA, Europe, and the western world are infested with head lice. They soon find out how difficult it is to get rid of the infestations. They buy remedies sold at drug stores, mostly chemical solutions, only to discover most of them are ineffective. The are at their wits end. Somehow, nothing seems to work. And these people are not wrong. The lice continually evolve at a fast rate to provide chemical resistant new generations. My name is Mol Smith. I run a very successful web site for people who study tiny living forms with a microscope. When my family became infested with head lice, I decided to study how they are so effective at beating out attempts to kill them. What I discovered was remarkable. More, I found out a perfect method for getting rid of them in the shortest possible time. I studied books from the Victorian era and learned from the people who had time to work out how these parasites are born, grow, feed, mate and carry on laying eggs. My program stops them dead in their tracks in 21 days. This is the shortest possible time you can ever get rid of them. Now my program is available to all. It will cost you next to nothing. It will achieve what nothing else has helped to do for you: get rid of lice, once and for all!

The moral and spiritual lights are slowly going out in America and the West. Do you know why? America and the Church are staring into an Abyss of historic, even biblical, proportions. Are you ready? Everything you know about Church is about to change. Are you prepared to step up and become a leader in what God is doing? In this book, author, apologist and organic church advocate, Maurice Smith, explains what is happening, why and what each of us must do to prepare and respond. He explains: The "Eight Light Switches" that are pushing the Church and our Culture into the Abyss of God's judgment. How history is repeating itself and challenging the Church to a "a disciplined faith." The Kingdom of God is the hope of the Church. If you believe that our culture is collapsing around us, that judgment is coming and that "Church" as we have known it is in serious trouble, then this book is for you. If you're frustrated with chasing "blood moons" and prophecies that the rapture will happen on the next "Feast of Whatever," then this book is for you. If you have wondered what the Church is supposed to be doing - and how we're supposed to be doing it - while we expectantly await Jesus' soon return, then this book is for you.

What Is The Kingdom of God? And What Does It Mean To Be A Disciple of That Kingdom? Welcome to Volume 2 of our series on biblical discipleship and the Kingdom of God. In the Kingdom of God, discipleship is a relationship and a journey, not a fill-in-the-blank workbook and DVD set. And They Dreamt Of A Kingdom is a series of books that examines Jesus' teaching on the Kingdom of God and the spiritual lessons that Jesus taught His own disciples. What better place to discover the true meaning of discipleship than walking alongside Jesus and the twelve. Discipleship and the Kingdom of God were at the heart of Jesus' ministry. But today's Church is failing to teach the Kingdom or to make disciples who can reproduce their discipleship in the lives of others, opting instead to train worker-bees for their programs, rather than disciples of the Kingdom. This book is different. Bringing fresh perspectives and insights, the author examines the disciple-making ministry of Jesus and offers Kingdom and discipleship truths in bite-size amounts, like these: In the Kingdom of God, the opposite of faith is not unbelief. It is fear. (Page 17) In the Kingdom of God, spiritual growth and maturity are the product of spiritual truth experienced over time. (Page 18) In the Kingdom of God, discipleship is not about knowledge; it's about trust. In the Kingdom of God, discipleship is about faith working through obedience. (Page 19) As disciples of the Kingdom, the God-appointed tasks of today represent our necessary preparation for the greater God-appointed tasks of tomorrow. (Page 46) As disciples of the Kingdom, they may be sheep, but the sheep speak for the King. (Page 49) To be a disciple of the Kingdom is to value the eternal which we cannot see over the temporal which we can see, and to value a spiritual pearl of great price more than the tangible trinkets of this world. (Page 51) This book, along with its companion volume, is intended for those who want to understand Jesus' message of the Kingdom of God and what it means to be a disciple of that Kingdom.

"Would You disciple us?" How would you answer that question? According to the author, those were the fateful words which generated this book. Why? Because that simple question embodies a very real and practical challenge. How do we intentionally disciple those who are seeking to become disciples of the Kingdom? This book, along with its companion Volumes, represents the author's personal answer to the challenge and the question. Discipleship and the Kingdom of God were at the heart of Jesus' ministry. But today's Church is failing to teach the Kingdom or to make disciples who can reproduce their discipleship in the lives of others, opting instead to train worker-bees for their programs, rather than disciples of the Kingdom. Offering fresh perspectives and insights, the author examines the disciple-making ministry of Jesus in order to answer four basic questions: What is the Kingdom of God (and what is it's relation to the Church)? What does it mean to be a disciple of the Kingdom? How did Jesus turn twelve ordinary men into disciples of the Kingdom? How can we become genuine disciples of the Kingdom in a way that is reproducible in the lives of others? The author answers these questions by examining the same discipleship lessons Jesus taught His disciples, along with "Key Thoughts" and questions for personal reflection and application. This book is intended for those who want to understand Jesus' message of the Kingdom of God and what it means to be a disciple of that Kingdom. It is intended for those who harbor the secret hope that biblical Christianity consists of more than four points and a prayer followed by a lifetime of participation in programs organized by survey-takers.
