)Not Without the Head
By Fredrick K. Ezeji-Okoye
Reviewed by Craig Ruhl
(Craig was pleased to assist in the editing of this book.)
Fredrick K. Ezeji-Okoye has masterfully written a manual for understanding the overwhelming consequences in homes without the presence and participation of the male as head of the family. In his book, Not Without the Head, the author describes the issues of a fatherless home straightforwardly, sharing his personal experiences and then citing biblical truths to support his suggestions for addressing the various issues. To further aid the reader’s understanding, this book includes the testimonies of several men who share how they missed filling the role of head of the family. They describe the mistakes they made and how they successfully changed to become the true head of the family.
Fatherlessness, through physical or emotional absence, is epidemic with far-reaching generational implications. Not Without the Head is a much-needed guide for men and women who are contemplating marriage or are already married and want to ensure that their children grow up with a father who is not just there but also is truly the head of the family. This book should be read by all men, shared with their spouses, and then passed down to their children.

Reviewed by Craig and Karen Ruhl
The Shoebox, by Robert Moores, addresses the childhood trauma of losing a parent; one that affects many homes. Using a sensitive and captivating story line, the author tells how a young girl comes to grips with one of the hardest realities of life. The author does an excellent job of portraying her emotions and moods while she struggles with those around her offering healing and help. I believe this book makes a wonderful gift for a child dealing with the loss of a loved one. It would also be of comfort for an adult trying to understand the effects of trauma on children. I enjoyed the well-written and creative story.

Craig: Most Christians and even many who have not received Christ as their Savior are familiar with the torture Christ endured before His crucifixion. There is much more to the story of that event that impacts us and our relationship with God. Using Isaiah 53 as a reference and mixing story and poetry, DW Grant explores the 39 lashes that Jesus received, sharing with the reader how each one works to forgive our sin and heal our wounds and more.

The Jericho Fast
By Rhoda Faye Diehl Reviewed by Craig and Karen Ruhl The Jericho Fast is an exceptional week-long process for engaging in spiritual warfare by invoking the power of fasting coupled with intentional prayer. The book provides an excellent and easily understood explanation of fasting as a spiritual practice and a plan for specifically breaking down those walls we all allow the enemy to use to hold us captive. Scripture from the book of Joshua, and others, is used to explain and encourage us on our 7-day walk in faith. Prayer and fasting are pivotal parts of a fulfilling and meaningful spiritual life. The author explains how the two work together and provides a suggested prayer at the end of each chapter. The Jericho Fast is an encouraging book that the reader will refer to daily while on their journey of fasting, prayer, and success in breaking down strongholds. We recommend you get your copy of the book and begin immediately. Amazon |

In Love With Marriage
By Jessie Garcia Reviewed by Karen Ruhl When I first started reading this book, I wondered about the title. It starts by introducing Jessie’s very interesting upbringing and tells about what his perception of marriage was based on television programs he watched. But Jessie's life is anything but a television script of a perfect family. As you learn about Jessie’s progress into ministry, you will become more engrossed with his life and how the influencers helped him to make bad choices. I love how Jessie talks about the television marriages and relates to the discovery of the reasons why we marry. Many of us are in love with marriage and have made bad choices. This book will make you take a good hard look at yourself and those you may influence. It is a good read and I highly recommend it. Amazon link Jesus Is Better Than Porn
By Hugh Houston In Jesus Is Better Than Porn, Hugh Houston shares his testimony of a life spent in addiction to porn. Throughout the book, he presents Biblical principles to help the reader understand God’s view and instructions about lust, infidelity, and adultery. In a professionally written manner, Jesus Is Better Than Porn teaches us to identify and understand our addiction and provides help in forming a plan for becoming free and for healing. The author provides thought-provoking questions at the end of the chapters useful for self-examination and group discussion. Any addiction affects our loved ones and those around us. Jesus Is Better Than Porn addresses the realities of addiction in a non-judgmental and effective way. Pornography, in all its forms, and the epidemic scale of the addiction, pervades all of society, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. In his testimony, the author provides insights concerning his spouse’s reaction to his addiction and how her support aided his recovery. Written from a Christian perspective, Jesus Is Better Than Porn shines a light on how deeply evil has pervaded our lives. After reading this book, I feel I have a better understanding of the roots of addiction and the steps necessary to achieve true freedom and peace. The staff at Faith On Every Corner highly recommend reading Jesus Is Better Than Porn. Craig Ruhl Faith On Every Corner |

I enjoy reading the testimonies of everyday Christians. In I am Not the King, author Allen Taylor shares his personal walk of faith, from his early childhood up to the present. This story is beautifully and conversationally written. Not a memoir, the book describes the trials and tests of faith the author endured as he matured physically and spiritually.
Throughout the book, Allen Taylor shares aspects of his life that are sometimes emotionally charged and cause the reader to pause and contemplate concerning their own circumstances. The struggles within his family growing up, and then later in life, his extended family, serve as anchor points in his testimony. I enjoyed the author’s sharing of how faith worked to suppress worldly temptations in his personal and business environments.

By Pastor Allen Brown
Published by Build Our Kingdom Publishing Reviewed by Craig Ruhl The subtitle of Million Dollar Seed reads, “How Unusual Acts of Faith Produced Million Dollar Results.” When I first learned of this book, my impression was this may be a book centered on a “prosperity gospel” theology. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was so much more. In this autobiography, Pastor Allen Brown shares his testimony of coming to Christ, hearing answers to his repeated prayers, and becoming a successful entrepreneur and pastor. The author tells the reader how his understanding of biblical truths and uncompromising faith in God, meshed with sound business practices, worked miracles in his life. His story encourages others who seek to find their way in the world of business while staying true to their faith. Throughout the book, the author has provided special sections titled “Wisdom and Understanding Note” which provide teaching and clarification of the values and principles he used during his professional and spiritual growth. While writing about his business and spiritual life, Pastor Brown offers insights that apply to all areas of our lives. The seeds contained in this book need to be sowed by being shared with others. Million Dollar Seed by Pastor Allen Brown is an excellent book and I recommend it highly. Amazon Link |

Who Prays for the Pastor
Who Prays for the Pastor shines a light on the areas of pastoral life that are most susceptible to attack. It addresses the prominent reasons for stress, illness, marital discord, and financial failure pastors often endure. Each chapter looks at a specific need and discusses how it affects the pastor, often including examples from the author’s personal experience as a married pastor and faith leader with children. These are trying times for our church leaders as their faith, dedication, values, and core beliefs are questioned and even challenged. This book provides encouragement for the pastor and those under their ministerial care. It also enables the pastors to better understand the stresses and challenges they experience in their ministerial lives so they can share with others and ask for prayer and help.
As I read this book, I had a better understanding of our pastor’s needs and felt more equipped to pray for them, their families, and their ministries. The Faith On Every Corner staff has added this book to our bookshelf and we recommend you add it to yours.

Remade: Living Free

I am pleasantly surprised to find this book to be more than a how-to on addiction recovery. In her book, Remade: Living Free, Nicole Byrum addresses the unhealthy lifestyles and choices that have affected virtually every person or family in some way. She does this by drawing on true Biblical principles and showing us that by applying them in our daily lives, we can live freely in the shelter of Christ’s love. In each chapter, the author addresses specific areas of our lives where we often fall short of the potential our Creator gifted us with. As she discusses these issues, she references biblical passages that help explain and reinforce her comments, suggestions, and solutions. By drawing on her experience as a full-time clinical therapist and lifelong athlete, she connects with the reader by describing real-life experiences, failures, and triumphs she has encountered in her practice and her own life. At the end of each chapter, there are questions for the reader to reflect on. This feature makes this book an excellent resource for small group discussions.
I recommend this wonderful book to men and women alike since life’s trials are not bound by gender.

Daddy Saturday
How to Be an Intentional Dad to Raise Good Kids Who Become Great Adults By Justin Batt Published by Lioncrest Publishing Reviewed by Craig Ruhl I recently learned about Justin Batt through LinkedIn. Justin had posted a short video of him and his four children at the beach. He had just been stung by a stingray and was describing the experience. I clicked on his profile and learned about his book Daddy Saturday and his mission to encourage dads to be more spiritually, emotionally, as well as physically present in the lives of their children. After that, I was hooked and downloaded the Kindle version of his book Daddy Saturday. Daddy Saturday is written in an easy to read and understand manner. The book starts with an explanation of what the author calls The Fatherlessness Epidemic. In our age of both parents working outside the home and preoccupation with electronic babysitters, many fathers have become less engaged in their children’s education, development, and emotional growth. The author is the father of four children, a full-time businessman, and the husband to an entrepreneur wife. Throughout the book, he describes his challenges with juggling all of his roles and duties. He tells us about how he invented fun and effective ways to intentionally engage and mentor his children on Saturdays and throughout the week. Each week, he comes up with fresh ideas, games, events, and programs that his children love and learn from. The Daddy Saturday book has grown into a movement with a website by the same name offering additional ideas, updates, and resources to help anyone interested start a similar program in their family. The Daddy Saturday Foundation has been set up with the goal of impacting ten million men in the next ten years. Daddy Saturday is available at Amazon.com as a hardback, paperback, or Kindle format. |

Evangelist
My Life Story: My Life Journey
By Evangelist Dea Warford
Reviewed by Craig Ruhl
On the cover of his autobiography, Dea Warford invites us to follow Paul’s call to “Do the Work of an Evangelist.” (2 Tim. 4:5) In his recent book, he recounts his life story of evangelism. From an early age until the present, Dea has had a passion to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the unsaved, leading them to accept Him as their savior. He writes conversationally, surely much like he would speak to the reader in person. The author weaves memories, anecdotes, and insights with a good sprinkling of humor into a compelling description of what it means to be an evangelist.
This book is not just the story of evangelical life and lifestyle, it also serves as a tutorial for those who would like to walk out their faith. As he describes each step along his journey, Dea provides extensive Biblical references to help the reader learn and verify God’s will in spreading the Gospel. Although not all readers will follow in the author’s footsteps as a full-time evangelist, many of us will use the knowledge gained from the book to help us spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
