It’s two days before Christmas as I write this. The season of giving, receiving, family, friends, fellowship, and food is upon us. But, will we take time to remember the reason for this season? Will we take time – individually and corporately – to celebrate, to contemplate, to remember the One who gave us the most important gift of all? “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.” (John 3:16, The Message) This podcast celebrates this gift in words and music. Enjoy!

In this episode, we take a look at the Cyber-December that is being celebrated at Narration by George. Not only am I making available a great short-story, a true-story-a-day-give-away, but I’m giving a book away every day in December. Today I look at three possible books that might be of interest to you. Knighthawke and Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows combine romance, action-adventure, and science fiction to tell the compelling story of Michael Weber. Then, we look at some historical fiction with The Declaration of Independence Series: John Hancock. Finally, in the spirit of Christmas, the story of one of the most famous of all Christmas carols: Joy to the World.
This week, I conclude my interview with Anne Baxter Campbell and Trish Horner about the latest Narration by George Audio Book release, The Roman’s Quest. Anne is the author of this very fine novel. Trish was the narrator for the female characters and the female point-of-view narratives. In today’s podcast, Anne interviews Trish and me. We talked about the novel and about the faith in God that is evident throughout and central to the book. You’ll hear examples of everything mentioned.
This week, we examine the fifth and final Frequently Asked Question – questions that people ask about God by looking at the Gospel’s response to sexual immorality. This answer may surprise you! But, you’ll never know without listening!
We continue looking at the five tough questions people ask about God. This week is a more internal question than the others: How can I be certain that my decisions reflect God’s will for my life? Again, I feature the teaching of Joey Davis from the Clear Creek Church of Christ on this topic. Your comments are always welcome.
This week features question number three of the five tough questions that people ask about God. We look at the question of people who have never had the chance to hear the gospel. Are they condemned to hell? This podcast, like the others, features the teaching of Joey Davis of the Clear Creek Church of Christ. Your comments are always welcome to me.
We continue our look at five tough questions which are asked about God when Christians begin to share their faith outside of the church building’s walls. This week’s question: If God is loving and just, why does he allow suffering and injustice? Listen for some answers.
