Be Encouraged: A Daily Devotional, Volume 2 Oct 18, 2012

by Gregory A. Johnson

( 1 )

$4.99

In a world that hurls distractions after distractions at us daily, it can be too easy to lose focus and stray from a godly course. Gregory A. Johnson's Be Encouraged: A Daily Devotional, Volume 2 provides the necessary encouragement that leads readers back to scripture and prayer, as well as motivates them to love and good works. This thirty-day devotional is infused with powerful insight, short commentary, well-chosen scripture, and fervent prayer, while managing to effectively utilize God's word to motivate and encourage.

Using the same formula as his previous entry in the series, Be Encouraged: A Daily Devotional, Volume 1, Johnson incorporates a different theme into each day of his new devotional. With such thought-provoking themes as "Why do we need God," "How to break a sinful habit," and "How to test for the genuine Spirit of God," each day is designed to use scripture, prayer, and enlightening commentary to support the reader in their journey to achieve their individual goals and to keep God central in their hearts. Johnson's encouragement and inspiration will appeal to anyone who is looking for that extra bit of help in their personal and spiritual lives.

Written with a down-to-earth style that is easily enjoyed, Be Encouraged can be used anytime one's spirituality needs nourishing. Whether used during holy holidays or on a daily basis, Johnson's themes and selections are readily available and easy to read, all while maintaining a conviction and relevance that is uplifting and invigorating to the soul.

With more than two decades of ministering experience, Johnson has reached out to all walks of life as a Christ follower, pastor, author, and public speaker. With an urge to extend beyond the traditional church service, and beyond the walls of a church building, Johnson has spent years spreading God's word to others. Alongside ministering to churches, he has also ministered to prisons, halfway houses, homeless shelters, and to those on the street. Using his extensive and eclectic experience on top of his unyielding passion for serving the Lord, Johnson has constructed a book of life-changing messages that are blessed by God's precious grace and truly nourishing to the hungry spirit.

Be Encouraged: A Daily Devotional, Volume 1 Mar 29, 2012

$4.99

We all need help staying on a godly course to become the courageous men and women the Creator wants us to be. In Be Encouraged: A Daily Devotional, Gregory A. Johnson lays out a road map of prayers, scriptures, and stories that will motivate others to love and good works. Unlike the long-term demands of a year-long devotional, this shorter thirty-day version will be more practical to complete. The devotional can also be used during holy times, like Easter and Christmas, to reinvigorate one’s spirituality, or to sustain faith during spiritual trials.

Each day begins with a theme like “How to Live With Fearless Confidence,” “Why Does God Not Answer My Prayers,” and “Where to Find Safety in a World Gone Mad.” Johnson’s provocative commentary on the day’s theme is followed by well-chosen scripture and a prayer that emboldens the reader to set forth on achieving his or her goals. The easy-to-read selections are relevant, full of conviction, and blessed by God’s grace.

The devotional is more of a spiritual experience than a how-to book. Heeding the command of Hebrews 10:24-25, Johnson asks his readers to “let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works….encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” It’s a reminder that the prayerfulness and stillness found in a Sunday church can also be had over Monday morning coffee or during a break in our workday.

Johnson answered God’s call to ministry in 1988 and hasn’t stopped since. The ordained minister is a Christ follower whose desire to encourage people to walk in the path of Jesus goes far beyond church walls and Sunday services. His ministry has reached society’s haves and have-nots alike. Along with being a church pastor, he has ministered in homeless shelters, halfway houses, and prisons. He has also worked for two Fortune 400 companies as well as with the Kentucky governor’s office for technology. His devotional brings true spiritual nutrition for every hungry reader.

The Characters of Christmas: God at Work in Our Lives Dec 9, 2010

by Gregory A. Johnson

( 10 )

$2.99

What am I to do when I don’t know what to do? What is God doing in the midst of my seemingly impossible situation? How do I know what God wants me to do when I have a decision to make? What is the best plan for me to execute? What is God doing in my life? These are questions many are asking today.

Author and pastor Gregory A. Johnson takes the characters of Christmas from the Bible and brings to the reader’s attention certain themes about God that helps to answer these questions and many more like them. Although the word “Christmas” is in the title of this book, and Johnson uses the characters of Christmas throughout, the themes illuminated about God are relative during any calendar season or any season of life.

The Kingdom According to Jesus Jun 17, 2012

by Gregory A. Johnson

( 9 )

$5.99

Church today is not always what Christ intended it to be. Many attend church but ignore the larger inequalities that tear apart society both inside and outside the walls of the church building. In The Kingdom According to Jesus, Gregory A. Johnson revisits the Kingdom of God revealed through Jesus’ actions and words. It is a Kingdom built on justice that is driven by faith. Citizens of the Kingdom are recipients of God's grace, practicing love and peace while tackling inequalities of race, gender, health, and economics with a holy passion full of Christ-given life.

Johnson is unabashed in his zeal to take on the problems that plague the modern church. To make a dent in the inequalities that trouble our society, he demonstrates that we need to look at ministry beyond church walls. To arrive at this goal, he introduces some thought-provoking terminology that may be new to readers such as “point-of-need ministry.” Just as Jesus ministered to people where His love was needed, point-of-need ministry spreads the Gospel by connecting with society’s vulnerable where they are most in need. It is a practice that returns the church to its first-century roots in connecting with the vital needs of the teeming society around it.

In the book, each of the Kingdom attributes, such as love, grace, race equality, and economic equality, merits a chapter of its own. By the time the reader is finished, he will have a clear understanding of what it means to be a citizen in God’s Kingdom and how to model that citizenship through actively engaging in point-of-need ministry. Unlike what some church leaders may say, the Kingdom is not just the church and it is not just built through growing church attendance. Rather, God has already revealed His Kingdom through Jesus Christ, who walked the earth and revealed a divine message through holy actions and teachings. In the reader’s hands lies an action plan for carrying out Jesus’ words of Kingdom building.
