Journal of a Desperate Journey
Ecclesiastes is not only the story of one man's experience but of all who attempt to live their lives apart from God.
How to Make the Truth "Stick"
The person of character is one who knows the truth and applies it to the circumstances life brings. How can we make the truth “stick”? God's Word makes it clear.
