Book Description
In The Narrow Door, Paul Lisicky creates a compelling collage of scenes and images drawn from two long-term relationships, one with a woman novelist and the other with his ex-husband, a poet. The contours of these relationships shift constantly. Denise and Paul, stretched by the demands of their writing lives, drift apart, and Paul's romance begins to falter. And the world around them is frail: environmental catastrophes like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural disasters like the earthquake in Haiti, and local disturbances make an unsettling backdrop to the pressing concerns of Denise's cancer diagnosis and Paul's impending breakup. Lisicky's compassionate heart and resilience seem all the stronger in the face of such searing losses. His survival--hard-won, unsentimental, authentic--proves that in turning toward loss, we embrace life.

Book Description
Our ability to overcome disappointment is learned in childhood. Individuals need a value-based inspiration to help them conquer defeat and advance achievement. For me, it was my mother and her stories, providing me all the knowledge, morals, humility, and courage I needed to succeed. Her stories cascading, one followed by one more. When I think of her, I see a long list of stories, bringing her back to me. Yes, every so often, I am reminded of her. I have kept her anecdotes to retell, each one amazing. Each one of her stories is a short journey allowing me to focus my attention as she attempted to prove to me that my human existence is worth it.

Book Description
We start off this study with the words of Jesus about this narrow gate. They are words the church does not want to hear in this modern age of political correctness. But we really need to consider the implications.”You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” [Matthew 7:13–14 NLT] We must start with the narrowness. Many people are made nervous by this. It is obvious that most pastors and priests are. How can you build a church by telling the people things like this? It is not good to talk about exclusiveness. This is certainly part of the narrowness of the gate. In modern America this is where we get into trouble very quickly from the PC media police.Jesus could not have made it more clear. This aspect of the narrowness is made clear by many things he said. If you are into the words of Jesus typeset in red ink—these are in red. He lays it out boldly—in a way that cannot be ignored.”Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved.” [John 10:9 NLT]However, it is obvious to us all that today many local church pastors have trouble saying that Jesus is the gate, the door to the life abundant. It is commonly not preached because the whole approach sounds a bit narrow-minded. But it is much stronger than that. As you will see in this book, many powerful, active church members will find themselves outside with no way to enter heaven. You need to read this book.

Book Description
Walk up to almost anyone and ask, “Do you want to go to heaven when you die?” and the answer that you will get will be yes; it may take one of many forms but it will be an affirmative answer. But the question isn’t, “Do you want to go to heaven?” It should be, “Have do you get to heaven?” I know, many people have though that because they say they believe in Jesus they’re set, but there’s more to going to heaven than that. The very fact that it is easy to go to hell should tell you something. There are things (plural) to do concerning going to heaven. People will argue and quote, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” and then say, ”So, works don’t get you saved.” Well, to that I agree, but once you have received this free gift you must maintain it.

Book Description
The Messiah came 2000 years ago to show us The Way by example through The Narrow Gate into The Kingdom of Yahuah. That "way" is through Mikveh, Circumcision, and bringing an Offering to the Altar of Yahuah. After showing us "The Way" on Passover, the veil was torn giving all of us access to follow in his footsteps. Unfortunately, we have been misled for 2000 years! We all have been taught to either keep Easter (which is a Babylonian ritual), or keep The Seder (which is a Roman pagan banquet). We have been taught an entirely different Gospel message that it took The Creator to come and die to save us, when salvation is through a Mediator and High Priest chosen from among men. This book overcomes those lies, and firmly established The Way and example the Messiah set, that we should follow to enter through The Narrow Gate. There are two issues facing the Nazarene followers of Yahusha today: 1. When do we celebrate these Appointed Times? 2. How do we properly fulfill our roles in these prophetic rehearsals? I wrote this book to answer those two questions clearly, so that the Nazarene Assembly of true believers will be faithful to meet Yahuah on His Appointed Feasts and in a way that brings glory to Him. So that we can properly fulfill our role as the Bride of the Messiah (not Yahuah) by preparing ourselves through Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering. For 2000 years the traditions of Hellenized Rabbinical Judaism and the pagan false religion of Christianity has dominated the hearts and minds of the people. We were all brought up committing The Abomination of Desolation by keeping Easter over Passover. We came out of Babylon, repented, and looked for answers as to “how” we keep His Appointed Times, yet we then began following the human traditions of the Pharisees, known today as Rabbinical Judaism. We literally went from one pagan ritual to another, remaining unfaithful in our attempts at obedience by not following the example set by Yahusha on Passover. This book will give us all clear instructions on how to properly enter The Narrow Gate by following the “true way that leads to eternal life” ... The Truth, the Way, and the Life example of our Messiah. The Narrow Gate is very narrow, and very few there are that find it! In this book I am going to explain that narrow gate, and why it is so very narrow.
