There is a definite reason why certain things, not just anything, exist. There is a specific purpose for which existence is. It is according to this purpose that the church is desired, designed, and brought into existence. What is this overaching purpose of God? How will it be achieved? Where does the church stand functionally in this purpose of God and in the system of Administration He has set in place to achieve it? Find out the answers in this classic manual by Alex of the Cross.


UNDERSTANDING GOD'S ONGOING ADMINISTRATION

The Bible covers three different major phases. It reveals to us relevant things about eternity past and the world that was. It speaks of the present world. It talks about eternity future and the world that is to come. In this concise publication, ALEX OF THE CROSS explores the different Epochs of God's eternal purpose - where did it all begin and what will it culminate in?

FROM ETERNITY PAST TO ETERNITY FUTURE (Introductory Guide to the Epochs of History of God's Eternal Purpose)

If you are really doing the work of shepherding according to the job description God has given for it, you will gather souls. Gathering is the first work of a shepherd. Before you can

fulfil any of the other four duties of a shepherd (Isaiah 40:11), you would have to have first gathered souls. You cannot feed souls if you do not gather them. You cannot care for souls if you do not gather them. You cannot lead souls if you do not gather them. Follow the scriptural pattern for gathering souls in this first volume of The Work of Shepherding Course by Alex of The Cross.

HOW TO GATHER SOULS

As a shepherd, you must know how to care for souls. It is part of your definition as a shepherd; you are a person who cares for people. Your assignment to care for souls is given according to the four basic needs of souls. Let us understand what each of them means in the line of your shepherding responsibility in this second volume of The Work of Shepherding Course by Alex of The Cross.

HOW TO LEAD AND CARE FOR SOULS

In life, we often find ourselves lost, overwhelmed by the weight of our circumstances. We search for meaning, for hope, for a way out of the darkness. But we feel unworthy, as if we have to change before we can be accepted. But what if I told you that God doesn't wait for you to be perfect to meet you? What if I told you that He doesn't demand that you change before He comes to you? God meets you where you are, right in the middle of your struggle. He doesn't wait for you to change first—He meets you in your pain, your doubt, your mess. He comes to you with love, not condemnation. You don’t have to wait to be perfect to come to God. He’s already there, ready to meet you, to walk with you, and to transform you from the inside out.



Perfect for those searching for hope, friendly support, and a renewed faith, God Meets You Where You Are is a reminder that you're never alone in your struggles—God is with you, He is there, offering you friendly support and drawing you closer to the transformation that He alone can bring.

Let this book inspire you to embrace God’s friendly support and trust in His love for you, no matter where you are on your journey.

Individuals seeking spiritual encouragement

Gifts for friends and loved ones looking for hope



GOD MEETS US WHERE WE ARE

<p>No one would love to be a loser. We all wish to be successful, to work and play to win. Much more there is the need to live to win-the need to live unto eternal fruitfulness.</p><p>As nature abhors a vacuum so does a good and loving God abhors waste. He loves to give His children a living that is eternally fruitful.</p><p>The Bible teaches that the profit of life is not in gaining the whole world with its riches, fame, acceptance and pleasures. One can have all that and still lose in life. How then can man live a life that is eternally fruitful. In this classic book, Alex of the Cross, shows you how to live an eternally fruitful life, a life to God's agenda.</p>

Don’t Waste Your Life

Life becomes so tangled and heavy at times that it wounds us simply to be human. A promising young woman may be violated by the father who should have protected her. A son may grow up wearing shame as the only covering he owns. Pain takes many forms, but its deepest wounds are often carried in silence.

Yet it is in those very places where we hurt most that God chooses to draw nearest.
He does not wait for the trauma to lift or the tears to dry. He enters the dark corners where no one else comes. He sits beside the soul others have broken. He shares the weight of wounds no one else sees.

Your pain is not foreign to Him.
Your story is not too dark for Him.
Your memories are not too heavy for Him.

Where you hurt deeply, He meets you deeply.
Where you break, He draws close.
Where life has shamed you, He covers you with Himself.

He knows your pain because He lived your life.
And He walks with you still.
