The MeatyWord Series
Applying Biblical principles to your daily life can be a daunting and overwhelming endeavor. Sometimes it’s helpful to have a study which shows how the ancient text of the Bible is still applicable to modern life.
The MeatyWord Series is such a study — it explores several fundamental principles by delving deep into the Word of God. Each volume combats popular culture practices that hinder progress in the Kingdom of Heaven.

“More than words!”
No one is exempt from the desire to be loved and forgiven.
Human interactions are fraught with miscommunication, hurt, offense, and pain. Toss in diverse personalities, varying perspectives and other characteristics, such as insecurity, pride, selfishness, stubbornness, or simple lack of awareness, and you can see how relationships become stagnant and eventually die.
In The Process of Asking for, Receiving and Giving Love and Forgiveness you will see how love, repentance and forgiveness are much more than words. Each is a choice. Each requires action. Each is a divine expression of life.
When you learn to receive and give life through the process of loving, repenting and forgiving, your stagnant and dying relationships will be restored.

Relationships change with the tide of life. When your relationships ebb more than flow, do you find yourself asking, “Were my dying relationships ever real relationships? Are the people who maintain contact, but with whom there is no connection, worth holding on to? Should I expect a person’s presence in my life to equal dependency in my time of need? Does the quality of interaction determine the level of importance?”
I explored these questions and many more during my relationship explorations. This autobiographical devotional has been a hit with readers - it's a hard book to put down!
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
Romans 11:33-36
