Book excerpt: "Climbing the Tree of Life, The O.A.K. Ministry" uses original poetry, famous quotations, God's word, and personal witness to show the extraordinary hand of God in the ordinary life of the author. The book was written as a way to encourage a ministry of love through offering acts of kindness. It is the hope of the author that the truths found within this book will be life-changing to the reader and trend-changing for the world as this ministry grows. "The O.A.K. Ministry was born one day when God showed me a simple truth through an act of kindness on the side of a road. Since then, it has become my mission to share that truth with as many as I can. My means were limited but God's are not. He gave me the ability to string a few words together and create poetry. From that poetry the idea of writing this book was created." -Jim Clements A native New Yorker, Jim Clements spent his early adult life as a carefree biker. The same year his first son Patrick was born, his lifestyle took an abrupt change after a motorcycle accident left him with a debilitating head injury. Four years later, after regaining the use of his left arm and leg, he began his career as a firefighter and he and his wife, Joan, welcomed their second son, Christopher. The death of Jim's father and the model of his faith put Jim on a search for the God he had long ignored. Now as a retired firefighter/paramedic with an R.N. degree, he lives in Ormond Beach, Florida with his wife Joan. He longs to share his faith and love for the God he now knows.

Book excerpt: You know about Noah, but what about the animals? Thimblerig is a little groundhog with big problems. He's a loner con-artist who's losing his mojo; the wild dogs who run the forest harass him at every turn; he's started having vivid nightmares of apocalyptic floods; and worst of all - he believes he sees unicorns when everyone knows unicorns are only the stuff of legend. But what one animal calls problems, Thimblerig calls opportunity. His problems inspire him to come up with the ultimate con: convincing a group of gullible animals that a world-ending flood is coming, that the fabled unicorns have told him where the only safe place will be, and that only he can lead them to safety. And all for a reasonable price, of course. But when the flood really does come, Thimblerig has a choice to make: either he really does save the ones who have trusted him, or he loses everything. And he discovers that his problems have only just begun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning: This book could change the way you live. "Although I've experienced what it's like to get overextended, I've never been poor without options or help," writes Hagmann. "My faith tells me that being a Christian must affect who I am and how I behave with my wealth. Christ has something to say about the way I live my daily life, from how I treat others to how I spend my money." Do you make everyday economic decisions that reflect your Christian faith and values? Or are you "living large" in a material world? Using the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-9) as its inspiration, Climbing the Sycamore Tree is a 6-week study of faithful stewardship. Hagmann uses both scripture and consumer statistics to show how our buying habits often marginalize certain people and perpetuate systems that contradict good stewardship and love for God's creation. Following the experience of the tax collector Zacchaeus, the study seeks to deepen the link between the faith we profess and the lifestyle we live. Designed as a study for individuals or groups, Climbing the Sycamore Tree provides insight into how our economy functions and the connection between how we spend our money and spiritual formation asks provocative, discerning questions about our daily choices calls us to a path of simple everyday living that's in harmony with our Christian beliefs The study is divided into three sections of two weeks each. Each week's readings consist of five lessons and a group session that includes scripture, discussion questions, guides for reflection or activity, and prayer. Open yourself to transformation that more clearly reflects the daily living of the faith you profess!
