Somewhere between the air-conditioned foyer and padded pews, Christianity lost its mantra: They who "live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." —J. J. Turner * Have Christians taken sanctuary in church buildings and complained about how dark it is outside? * Is there a mass exit from the battleship where the demands are tough, to a berth on the cruise ship where pleasure reigns? * How can you know if you are spiritually asleep? * Are Christians enduring hardships or making excuses? * Is Christianity about auditing God's word—or is it about being a doer of God's word? * What are some biblical examples of God's wake-up calls? * Are Christians responsible for attaining spiritual maturity?

Not everyone is blessed to grow up in a Christian home or attend a Christian school. Many did not have Bible study in everyday life. It is easy to become overwhelmed with what we do not know: - What does confession truly mean? - How do I teach others the gospel? - How do I study God's Word? - Why should I believe the internal evidence of the Bible? - How was it possible for Isaiah, Daniel, and others to write of events that did not occur until hundreds of years after their deaths? - How do I know when I am pleasing to God? Fill My Heart will help any Christian in all these areas and more. Each of the 13 lessons ends with a section called ''Growing Heart Habits.'' Learn how to study the Bible by focusing on just one word or one book of the Bible or one chapter of a book. All that's needed is a spiral notebook and a pen.

Let's face reality. We need our Maker. In spite of our impressive accomplishments, we still do not hold the power to create life. We hold no power over death. And outside the scope of faith, we hold no hope beyond the grave. A godless philosophy relegates after-life to a myth. But Portrait of God stands the reader face-to-face with God by reviewing the scope of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. It reveals man's reflection of his Creator and explains how He redeems us. Portrait of God opens a window for the breeze of understanding to flow over the soul who seeks to embrace it.
Not just for preachers! Who endures more preaching than the person in the pew? Are churches settling for anyone who claims he can preach? Has the Bible become a book to launch from? Has the command ''preach the Word'' been exchanged to ''tickle the ears''? Dr. Turner quips: Elders, never hire an ice cube to set fire to the church. God is looking for dedication, not degrees; for obedience, not oratory greatness; for servants, not superstars. He needs men who will leave their fishing nets, tax tables, and medicine bags to follow Jesus. 14 chapters with questions.
