The Give God the Glory! book series, by multiple-award winning and best-selling Christian author Kevin Wayne Johnson, continues to expand around the world. With sixty days before the anticipated scheduled release to the general and Christian marketplaces on September 17, 2010, to 59 countries around the globe, The Power in the Local Church will be available at a discounted pre-publication price of $10.00.

The Power in the Local Church is summarized as follows: Part I – What is the Church? – establishes that the local church is revealed in Matthew 16:18 and cannot be destroyed by anyone who   chooses to come against its message or existence. Part II – What is My Role in the Local Church? – examines the critical importance of reconciling others to Christ as His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:18-20). These actions are manifested through service to others and understanding our specific roles within the confines of the local church. Part III – How Do I Glorify God by Fulfilling My Role in the Local Church? – is accomplished through our good works, togetherness (unity), and by “staying in your lane” through the twenty spiritual gifts that God gives us to compliment, in lieu of compete, other gifts within the Body of Christ and in the local church.

Description:

The Give God the Glory! series of books and devotionals continues with book #5. A companion gift book and devotional to book #4 in the series, The Godly Family Life, Your Role in Your Family offers greater detail on the Biblical significance of the family as God intended in the beginning. The Godly Family Life provided a detailed analysis of what the Bible teaches and instructs concerning the roles of the father, mother and children despite man’s intention to alter God’s plan for the family. While continuing in the tradition of the Give God the Glory! books and devotionals, it offers a unique focus on the biblical purpose and role of the father, mother, and child(ren).

In this gift and devotional book, Your Role in Your Family will help its readers to clearly understand that the man is the foundation of the family, the family is the foundation of the church, and the church is the foundation of our nation. We will glorify God through the family unit and understand our specific roles within the family structure as God intended. To this end, our Heavenly Father is glorified as we, His earthen vessels, demonstrate to the world the beauty and fulfillment of The Godly Family Life.

‘Family’ is referenced 123 times in The Holy Bible. To this end, the 50-page devotional will enlighten its readers through these five chapters:

1. The role and purpose of the Godly Family
2. The role and purpose of man
3. The role and purpose of woman
4. The role and purpose of children
5. God’s plan for His family.

When purchased in a Christian bookstore or through a plethora of Christian bookstores, Your Role in Your Family, a gift/devotional book, will be a blessing in your life.   Good Christian books are foundational to our overall growth and development and add value to our lives.  To find Christian books, or those who sell Christian books, these Godly items make an excellent gift for your loved one’s who are in pursuit of God.  The grace of God is sufficient at all times and we are safe in the arms of God.

Best selling African American Christian author Kevin Wayne Johnson recommends this devotional and gift book, as a companion to The Godly Family Life, to men and women who long to understand their specific roles within the family unit.  It is also an excellent gift, intended to replace the standard greeting card, for family and friends that desire to read a shorter version of The Godly Family Life.

Considered a best seller Christian book, The Godly Family Life is a ministry tool for men and women to better understand the ordained institution of “family.”   Choosing a Christian book should be a means to develop and maintain a Godly family life, thus, becoming a case for faith.  The faith lessons contained within the pages of these faith books, The Godly Family Life, and the devotional companion, Your Role in Your Family, are explored in detail and explain the roles of the man, woman, and children based upon God’s Word.  Every man’s battle must be fertilized with the Word of God. Woman of faith, women for faith and woman faith are exemplified throughout chapters fifteen through twenty.  The power of a praying wife is personified.  Likewise, bringing up boys is an essential teaching tool found within its contents. Parenting with a purpose, parenting with purpose and the purpose driven life are manifested in our lives when we apply the Biblical principles and answer the thought-provoking questions that are found at the end of each chapter.  Saving your marriage before it starts is a fundamental Christian principle.

African American Christian book author Kevin Wayne Johnson recommends this book for all men and women who have a deep desire to better understand the role of the family and its impact as the foundation of a strong nation.

Review and Endorsements

“This one may be the most compelling book yet! I have three sons and many spiritual and social sons that I have already promised in my heart to get a copy in their hands. The personal work sheets at the end of each chapter is a perfect personal accountability tool. I can see God changing the foundation of the family right before our eyes through the power of the words in this book. The use of scripture, real scriptural men, personal life experience and indisputable statistics appeal to whichever kind of scrutinizing eye through which we might read this material. My heart is racing at the lives that I personally envision will be changed!”

–-Paulette Holloway, Director,
Bethany Christian Services, Crofton, Maryland

“Truly, the foundation of our world, the family, is under attack. The traditional family has been and is being re-defined by modern society. As fathers and mothers we must be willing to go to war to recapture and secure our God given tour-of-duty of being effective parents. Kevin Wayne Johnson is like a general giving marching orders and challenging his troops/parents for the fight. Kevin Johnson’s inspirational battle plans are boldly and clearly presented in his new book, The Godly Family Life. I highly recommend that all parents sign-up, re-enlist or even be drafted to review these battle plans and join in the fight for our families. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE.”

–Dr. Larry Harris, author, “It All Starts at Home: 15 Ways to Put Family First” (Baker House/Revell) www.ItAllStartsatHome.com

“The principles taught in this book, if applied will strengthen many families serve as a guide to those who want start successful families. I highly recommend this book.”

(God Ordained Life Development),” Ed Gray Unlimited, Atlanta, Georgia

Description:

Light (phos) means “to give light.” It is that which enables us to see (able to clearly distinguish between right and wrong). It is the intellectual, moral, and spiritual element by which we may see (Matthew 6:23). Jesus Christ is the light of the world (John 1:9) and the ‘children of light’ is a term for true disciple (Luke 16:8 and Ephesians 1:8). God is the source of this light as the sun is the other. Through our light, we make God visible to all men and demonstrate that His love transcends all that is wrong with this world.

Light defines the very essence of the children of God. It is a word that is used throughout The Holy Bible 264 times! It is characterized as an element that: Illuminates, Shines, Exposes and expels darkness, Projects and extends brightness, Causes one to see, Radiates, and Reveals.

Light is described as an element that represents:

• Radiance (Matthew 7:12)  
• Spiritual awareness and right living (1 John 1:7)
• A characteristic of God (Psalm 27:1)
• The opposite of darkness (Genesis 1:3-4)
• Illuminates (Matthew 6:22)
• Leads the way (Micah 7:8), and
• The Glory of God (1 Timothy 6:16).

The biblical message, biblical preaching, and biblical teaching in this devotional/gift book come from Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures.  Matthew 5:13-16 serves as biblical study and, in essence, the biblical thought for the day relative to the significance of the word “light.”  Discover the purpose drive life and rediscovering the kingdom of God are keys to this best-selling devotional and gift book.

Now in its third printing, and selling strong, this devotional and gift book, a companion to Called to be Light in the Workplace, can be purchased at your favorite local Christian book store, amongst the family of Christian bookstores, on line Christian bookstore, Christian books and Bibles, including Christian books online, Christian bookshop, the church bookstore, various Christian booksellers, and wherever you can locate Christian books for sale. 

Christian book author Kevin Wayne Johnson recommends this devotional/gift book to men, women, boys, and girls that place additional emphasis on the word light. As children of God, our light is desperately needed in this world to bring hope, change and encouragement.

Description: 

Called to be Light in the Workplace is the second book in this series of nine. This book challenges its readers to be ‘light’ on their respective job(s) in each of the three phases of career progression: (1) Entry-level (trainee or intern), (2) journey-man level (middle manager), and (3) senior level (executive or mentor). God’s Word ministers about how to encourage others at work and influence positive change in the midst of dysfunctional places of employment. Through the lives of Jesus, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Evangelist Billy Graham, Dr. Ben Carson, and many other recognizable and unrecognizable names, excellence in their jobs has raised the level of productivity of others. It is systematically divided into three parts, with three chapters each. Supported by the Scriptures throughout, the central theme of each chapter focuses on specific ways to let our ‘light’ shine and to Give God the Glory! while at work everyday. How great is God? To know how great God is, watch Him at work on our respective jobs.  

As with all books in the Give God the Glory! series, it concludes with a family prayer to reinforce the contents within the books’ nine chapters.  Readers are encouraged to refer to the Give God the Glory! series as collections of prayers, daily prayer books, and prayer books.  Prayer shall change our lives for the better as we learn how to apply God’s Word to our everyday lives.  It can be used as a daily prayer book to learn why and how do I pray.  

Listed amongst best selling Christian books and best seller Christian books, now in its second printing and still appealing to readers who seek the comfort and healing regarding workplace issues and concerns, readers can locate the current availability of stock in the local church book store, the family book store, the family Christian bookstore, Jesus book store, on line Christian book stores, amongst your favorite Christian books list, your Christian library and your local Christian gift shop.  

Popular African American Christian author Kevin Wayne Johnson recommends this book to men and women who seek Biblical guidance and coaching on workplace issues of concern at all levels in their career.  In parallel with this book, it is suggested that the companion devotional, Let Your Light So Shine, add deeper meaning to what Jesus taught about the importance of our individual and collective “light.”

Reviews and Endorsements  

“Give God the Glory!  Called to be LIGHT in the Workplace is a nice blend of spiritual and practical wisdom about being the best ambassador for Christ in the workplace.  I especially like the servant leader section and the material about being an effective communicator.  Readers will be stirred to press on toward the mark to win the prize (i.e. Christ) for which are call called heavenward.  Mr. Johnson challenges our complacency and encourages us to maintain a “new wineskin heart” into which our Lord can pour much of the “new wine” that is found in this book.”   

–-Jim Biscardi, Jr., President, New Jersey Christian Ministries, Inc.  

“In my professional role as editor, book coach, and author of five of my own books, I am immensely impressed with Brother Kevin Johnson’s latest work, Give God the Glory! Called to be Light in the Workplace.  Not only is the content of the book especially helpful to me as a leader who has mentored many women over the past 25 years, but the structure of the book is outstanding.  The quotes, graphics and illustrations are excellent.  Above all, I appreciate to that which he has presented as possible solutions to our day-to-day challenges in the workplace.  Taking one of his personal quotes from the book, let me say this: ‘Excellence never happens by accident.  We have to make it happen.’  Kevin has made it happen with his latest educational tool.  It needs to be on every employer’s shelf.”   

–Minister M.D. Edwards, Founder and President,
The Called and Ready Writers, Detroit, Michigan  

“Simplistically clear and incisive, a real need for the 21st century working world.”   

–-Melvin Johnson, Sr., Founder and Pastor,
True Disciple Ministries, Somerville, New Jersey  

“Many author’s written about surviving and thriving in the workplace.  There have also been many books written on being a Christian light.  However, few if any books have effectively integrated these two important topics into an inspiring and very useful book.  Mr. Johnson is successful in this endeavor.  His new work is very meaningful in a challenging and chaotic work environment.  He challenges employees to be Christian lights on their respective jobs.  Through a comprehensive analysis of the Bible and the three phases of career progression, Mr. Johnson reminds employees that God is in the workplace.”   

–-Diane Floyd Sutton, President, Sutton Enterprises and Author of Increasing the Spirit and Effectiveness of People in the Workplace, Washington, DC  

“Kevin’s knowledge of the Lord and writing are incomparable to anyone I’ve met in the industry plus his spirit is so warm and open – he is a true servant of the Lord.  Very inspiring!”  

–-Pam Perry, President, American Christian Writers, Detroit chapter  

The principle purpose – God made man for His glory!  As you think of that concept, how much do we really understand what the glory of God is all about?  How does the glory of God relate to our everyday life?  

“Kevin Johnson has presented to us how we can glorify God not only in church but also in the workplace.  It is of vital importance that we grasp this principle that has been presented for us in Kevin’s intriguing work called, “Give God the Glory!”  May this be the pursuit of all of us as we think of the very purpose God had for us as He placed us on planet Earth.”   

–-Joe Jordan, Executive Director, Word of Life Fellowship, Incorporated, Schroon Lake, New York  

“You’re in a store thinking about buying this book.  You ask yourself two logical questions: ‘Is it worth spending $15 to read what this man has to say about being a Christian in the workplace?  Will I feel that I received my money’s worth when I finish this book?’  The answer is a resounding YES! Kevin Johnson has taken the Word of God, blended it with years of experience in government and corporations, seasoned it with helpful quotations, examples and resources, and baked it in the fire of the Holy Spirit to cook up a very relevant book.  I believe that, in God’s economy, the $15 you choose to invest in Give God the Glory: Called to be LIGHT in the Workplace can deliver a profoundly positive and eternal return-on-investment.”

Reviews & Endorsements:

“Deacon Kevin W. Johnson gives us a successfully laid out strategy in helping us to “Give God the Glory!”.  He shares his personal testimony.  He provides us with Scriptural support and, through these pages gives us the opportunity to look within ourselves and realize that God has been truly good to us and we must take the time, everyday of our lives, to give Him the Glory He desires and deserves!  I would also encourage anyone who wishes to have an impact on developing a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, as well as introduce others to Christ, to read this book.  I am proud of this first of many literary contributions Deacon Kevin will have the privilege to share with the World at large.”

“The book “Give God the Glory!” is a how-to book.  It takes the words of the Bible and applies them to life.  This book will open the word to your day-to-day life.  The author gives his interpretation, and a good one, of the word.  Everyone has an opinion of the words of God and their own interpretation, which is okay.  Read, apply, and enjoy.”

“The language used in this book is descriptive, understandable and clear.  The author provides contextual information, references and lots of easy to understand definitions.  The book provides a blueprint of how to strengthen your Christian walk.  One of my favorite parts of the book was the section that covered spiritual gifts.  The book will have you grabbing pen and paper so that you can takes notes.  It is thorough and inspiring.  I am sure that if you read this book with an open heart and answer the questions to consider that the author has listed at the end of each chapter, you will be touched.  This was an excellent book and I hope that Mr. Johnson continues his writing for the Lord.”
