BOOKS AND BOOKLETS

Come and Live by Tom McKenney (Artwork by Joe McCormick). "A guide to finding, and living in, Spiritual Reality." This book is an invitation to, and an explanation of, life in the Spirit. Beginning with the miracle of a new birth, it takes the reader through the baptism by Jesus in the Holy Spirit, and into the beginnings of a life of freedom, walking in the Spirit. "Are you discouraged, weary, sick in body, heart or mind? Are you hungry for something that satisfies ...something that works? Are you thirsty for the water of life, for spiritual reality, for that missing ingredient in your life? God loves you, and because He does, He has made perfect provision for your needs to be met ...for the desires of your heart to be fulfilled. It is all as close as your breath ...and just as free. 'Come,' God is saying to you now, 'come and live!' " 167 pages, indexed, illustrated

Live Free by Tom McKenney (Artwork by Joe McCormick). "A guide for Finding and Keeping, Real Freedom in Living." This book faces the unpleasant fact that multitudes of God's children are alive, but not really free. Many have come to Jesus, received the new birth, and the release of the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives, but still are hindered. They may be walking ...even running the race set before them; but they are hindered. They may be "making it," but it is a struggle. "So many of us look pretty good on the outside, but have real problems on the inside. Some are getting by, leading productive lives, but are not really free. Others are making it, but quietly desperate, not far from breaking. None of this is God's best, none of this is abundant life. He doesn't want us just to live; we can do better than that. We can live free." 317 pages, indexed, illustrated, with appendices

Holy Spirit Baptism by Joe McCormick and Tom McKenney. This unique book, done in magazine format, explains the baptism by Jesus in the Holy Spirit, and will lead the reader to eliminate and overcome the common obstacles to receiving, and enter into, the fulfillment of this gracious gift of God. Beginning, "in the beginning", in Genesis 1, it presents the overall story of the person and work of God's Spirit as recorded in the Bible. Then follows a concise New Testament history of the "endowment with power from on High", the promise of Jesus for his followers to enable them to serve Him more effectively. Featured are large and beautiful original illustrations by Joe McCormick, all by the technique of stippling (there are no lines in?the drawings, just millions of tiny ink doffs). The illustration of the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan has been released as a limited edition print, also available from the publisher. 24 pages, illustrated ISBN 0-934527-OZ-4 (magazine format) $3.95

Trouble at the Glory Barn by Tom McKenney (Artwork by Joe McCormick). "The Rise and Decline of the Charismatic Fellowship." This is an interpretive history of that wonderful phenomenon, the contemporary outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the charismatic fellowship that resulted. It is a story of joy and pain. "It was a time both wonderful and terrible, a time of life-transforming fulfillment and, later on, of crushing disillusionment. Those were days of childlike believing, of innocence and trusting; they were days of seeing miracles and of experiencing the power of God. And they were days of painful lessons in the frailty and imperfection of man. For those readers who were part of it all, it will be yesterday again. For those who were not a part of it, it will be an opportunity to experience it as the participants did, and thus better understand those of us who were. And, for all of us, 'Glory Bam' veterans or not, it will be an opportunity to examine the experience, understand it better and learn its vital lessons ...here is the story as it really happened, with its hard lessons, and a message of hope for the future." 127 Pages, indexed, illustrated, with appendices ISBN 0-934527-O-9 (paperback) $6.95

Holidays and Holy Days by Tom McKenney. "The Origins and Meaning of Our Favorite Holidays." What were once called "holy days," days set apart for fasting and prayer, have largely evolved into "holidays," with emphasis on feasting rather than fasting, and on parties rather than on prayer. Have you ever wondered how it all began, and how we got to the place where we are? Have you wondered about the origins of our customs... Why we do the things we do at holiday times? The answers can be found here, briefly and simply stated, in historical and scriptural contact. 32 pages, indexed, illustrated. Excerpted and adapted from the author's book, "Live Free." ISBN 0-934527-07-5 (paperback) $2.50

Blood on the Sword - Understanding Islam by Tom C. McKenney (Artwork by Joe McCormick). Islam is one of the three major religions of the World, along with Christianity and Judaism. It's god is Allah, and its "holy book" is the Koran. Adherents of Islam are called "Muslims" (or "Moslems"). Islam is sometimes called, "Mohammedanism"; but this is incorrect, for a knowledgeable Muslim will tell you that they worship only their god, Allah, that they honor Mohammed as the prophet of Allah, but do not worship him. "Islam" is Arabic, meaning "submission to god." Islam is intensely legalistic, with hundreds of requirements and prohibitions; the legalism is so complex that it often requires religious leaders (Imams) or religious courts to settle specific cases.

The Deadly Deception by Jim Shaw and Tom McKenney (Artwork by Joe McCormick). "A Dedicated Freemason's Journey to the Top ...and Beyond."
