Cost of Discipleship
“One of the early Christian martyrs of the church, Ignatius, said before his death, ‘Now I begin to be a disciple. I care for nothing of visible or invisible things, so that I may but win Christ. Let fire and the cross, let the companies of wild beasts, let breaking of the bones and tearing of limbs, let the grinding of the whole body, and all the malice of the devil, come upon me; be it so, only may I win Christ Jesus!’
“Just before he was thrown to the wild beasts to be devoured, he said, ‘I am the wheat of Christ: I am going to be found with the teeth of wild beasts, that I may be found pure bread.’ We can be disciples of Christ only as we are willing, like Ignatius, to count all things ‘but dung’ that we may win Christ.’”
—“This Morning with God” A Golden Verse for Each Day,

I See Good
Maurette Brown Clark is back with inspiring music that will grab your attention. She has released her new single titled “I See Good.” She has more music to release and I’m excited to see her journey. From songs like: “I Just Want to Praise You,” “One God,” and “It Ain’t Over (Until God Says It’s Over),” we have been blessed by her music ministry. She has shown great excitement over this new project and I share this exuberance. I recommend all to go and be a witness to her musical ministry. Her music can be downloaded from any digital platform.
(Featuring Jason Nelson)
The Stellar Gospel Music Award nominated gospel act, Jason Clayborn & The Atmosphere Changers, have teamed up with gospel artist, Jason Nelson, for a powerful new track, “Champion” (JayClay Music / Tyscot). The motivational song is a solid mid-tempo with urban contemporary styling. The Baltimore, Maryland-based Nelson, who is known for his much accomplished Billboard No. 1 gospel hits such as “Residue” and “Forever,” had partnered with Louisville, Kentucky-based Clayborn for a first time collaboration. This song is available on all digital platforms.

This book presents the gospel in a novel form. It explores the paradox that wanting believers must overcome while struggling to understand the essence of the Christian faith.
This book does not attempt to explain the unexplainable. But it does dramatize the efforts of four disciples hoping to find trust and belief in the Lord, Jesus. The Fugitives of Gethsemane can be found on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
