While traversing the teeming streets of Kathmandu, Nepal, missionary teacher Delron Shirley was overwhelmed with the throngs of people who had not yet heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. Looking out at the myriad of faces, it seemed like an impossible task to reach them all. Yet, he knew that Jesus' directive was that the gospel be taken to every human-not just in this one city, but on the entire planet. If reaching this one city seemed like a gargantuan challenge, reaching the planet was beyond imagination! Join Delron in his quest through the scriptures as he explores why the Bible promises that the Great Commission can actually be accomplished and how it is doable in our generation.

Finally, My Brethren - These are words that seem all too familiar to us when we think of putting on the armor of God for spiritual warfare. However, we often miss the real impact of Paul's message to the church because we have use this as our starting point. But just as we don't start at the top step when we climb a ladder, we can't begin our preparation for spiritual warfare at the last step - putting on the armor. In fact, the Apostle Paul gave us more than fifty steps of preparation to complete before we are ready to get dressed for battle.

As you read So Send I You, you'll find the words "I," "me," and "my" a lot more times than I personally am comfortable with. Yes, So Send I Youis my story, but it could - and should - also be your story. The only reason that I have talked about myself is with the hope that you can also see yourself - or, at least, the self you have always dreamt of being - reflected in at least some of the stories I've shared. In this book, you will read how God uniquely called, methodically positioned, and strategically sent me into the lives of so many all around the world. Such selection, grooming, and commissioning is not the privilege of a select few. It's God's plan for all His children - including you. God has a very simple strategy for changing the world, and it can be spelled out with just three little letters: Y O U. My prayer is that these simple narratives will inspire you to present yourself to be the next one that Jesus sends to do His work in the world!

One of the most difficult questions that has challenged ordinary men and the world's greatest thinkers and philosophers throughout the ages has been, "Why do bad things happen to good people and why do good things happen to bad people?" The answer to this conundrum lies in simply reprograming the way we think about inequity and the divine order of things. Join Bible teacher Dr. Delron Shirley as he explores the biblical truths that will help unravel this mystery

Someone once said that the two most important days of a person's life are the day he is born and the day he discovers why he was born. Each of us has a divine destiny that God has orchestrated since before we were even born. Unfortunately, most people live their whole lives without actually finding - much less, fulfilling that purpose. In Becoming a Person of Legacy, discover how to make your life leave a lasting impact.

In A New Dawn Rises, Bible teacher Dr. Delron Shirley examines the accounts of some of the great spiritual struggles in the Bible from Jacob's all-night wresting match with an angel to Jesus' agonizing three hours in the Garden of Gethsemane. The conclusions that he draws from these stories can change the way that you view life and all the challenges it may bring your way.

Probably the most famous quote in all the annals of missionary history is the greeting of newsman and adventurer Henry Stanley when he finally reached missionary and explorer David Livingstone in the remote interior of Africa, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" In this little study based on that historic encounter, Bible teacher and missionary Dr. Delron Shirley considers how we can really pick out who is a missionary. His real hope is that you can find yourself in these few short pages and join the call to fulfill the Great Commission of bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the whole world in this generation.

A ditty is actually a poem or a song, but I grewup with the Carolina colloquialism of a ditty being anyshort, pithy saying or writing. Having written only onenoteworthy poem in my life, I'm definitely not a poet, but I do hope that these few thoughts I'm sharing in thislittle book will prove to be short and pithy enough toinspire a little something into your life each day.I once read that it's plagiarism if you steal fromone person, but it's research if you steal from severalwriters. Another thing that I firmly believe is that noneof us really has an original thought. Every thought wehave is a result of all the input we have received. Formost of us, the old saying might apply very aptly: GIGO-- "garbage in, garbage out." If there is any goodthought that comes out of our minds, it is becausesome good influences have entered our hearts; themost important of those positive influences would bethe Word of God and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.As you read my little ditties each day, Iencourage you to enjoy each place where I haveplagiarized (ah, done some research) and each placewhere something other than garbage has come out dueto the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.Since some holidays do not occur on fixed dates, the message for each movable holiday is given on theearliest possible date on which it can be observed: Martin Luther King Day, January 15; State of the UnionAddress, January 25; Presidents' Day, February 15;Palm Sunday, March 15; Good Friday, March 20;Easter, March 22; Mothers Day, May 8; Pentecost, May10; Fathers Day, June 15; and Thanksgiving, November 22.

Using the illustration of searching out the riches in a treasure chest, Bible teacher Delron Shirley takes you on a seventy-three-day journey into a deeper and fuller relationship with Jesus in Going Deeper in Jesus. In some rabbinic sects within Judaism, the number seventy-three represents perfection, wisdom, and even God Himself. Even though there is no magical significance to the number, the revelations from the Word of God that are explored in this little study will certainly thrust you forward on a quest that can bring you toward wisdom, perfection, and - yes - God Himself.

He showed up totally unannounced with no publicity agent, no campaign manager, and no budget to fund a campaign. Yet within just three weeks, he established a viable community of faith that was soon acknowledged and recognized as a role model throughout the world. Who was this man, and how did he flip the world one hundred eighty dgrees on its axis? Join Bible teacher Dr. Delron Shirley as he makes a fascinating quest into the man, the methods, and the mission of a man who left maximum impact everywhere he went.

"Mighty oaks from tiny acorns grow." "Even the simplest of children can count the seeds in an apple, but even the wisest of men cannot count the apples in a seed." Yes, we are all aware of the mystery of multiplication in a seed. And most of us have learned to apply - or, at least, to try to apply - that principle to our finances. But maybe we have failed to recognize many other biblical truths about seeds and the harvest they produce. In Seeds and Harvest, you'll explore the truth that the harvest doesn't always come in the same form as the seed, the principle that we don't always reap from the same field where we have sown, the reality that we can even reap from seeds that others have sown - and much more.

In Of Kings and Prophets, Bible teacher Dr. Delron Shirley invites you into his time machine to travel back through the corridors of time to visit the era of the Old Testament kings and prophets in the nations of Israel and Judah - the men who shaped the destinies of their nations. In walking through the encounters, interactions, and conflicts in the lives of these historical figures, we are constantly reminded of the words of the New Testament writer who said that everything that happened in the lives of these men serves as an example and a caution to us so that we can have hope that we can make a difference in our own generation. (Romans 15:4, I Corinthians 10:11)

An old joke tells of a man who stood at the Pearly Gates recounting all his good deeds in an effort to gain entry into Paradise. When Saint Peter tallied up the gentleman's score, he did not have anywhere near enough point to qualify. His knee-jerk reaction to the count was, "I'll never get in except by the grace of God!" At that instant, the gates swung open and Saint Peter graciously welcomed the gentleman inside. We all know that it is only through grace that we will ever inherit the kingdom of God, but how much do we understand about this all-important subject? Join Bible teacher Delron Shirley as he explores the biblical principle of grace and investigates some of the misconceptions that are current in the Body of Christ today.

The Bible is a book that begs to be discovered -- and lived by. That is exactly what this set of study manuals is designed to help you do. It is a four-year spiritual journal with a daily devotional study though the Word of God. These manuals consist of a yearlong walk through the New Testament and a three-year excursion through the Old Testament based on studying one chapter each weekday for the fifty-two weeks in a year. The expedition through the book of Psalms will be repeated annually on the weekends. Each entry includes one verse to memorize. It is difficult to select just one verse each day because most chapters contain many verses which we should, as the psalmist said, hide in our hearts. Next comes a short distillation of the basic principle of the chapter and a brief outline of the chapter. The Bible study is followed by a simple prayer intended to bring the truth of the chapter into practical application. A section for the reader's notes follows where you can log your own personal revelations and insights about the chapter. A space for noting your own personal spiritual journal (which could include prayer requests, answered prayers, and testimonies) rounds out the daily devotion. Twenty minutes a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year will produce one brand new man in each friend who seriously applies himself to the program and the program to himself.
