On This Side Of Heaven

On This Side of Heaven is the first in the series of Heavenly Novels™, and poignantly details the story of a community, a small church, and one man’s secret desire for power, wealth, and women. Just five years before mandatory retirement, Bob Buck finds himself serving in a washed up old country church – the result of a career that has been tarnished. Bitter about his new appointment, Buck has decided not to let his career end this way, and employs everything in his power, including God, to prove his worth and gain a position of power. He sets his sights on transforming this tiny church into a modern day “mega” church -- large enough to provide stiff competition for the neighboring 9,000 member Spring Rock Church, led by the young and dynamic Uriah Jonah. Buck’s true character gradually begins to reveal itself through greed and egotism – all the while insisting his actions are motivated by an effort to express God’s love. Unfortunately, the hiring of young associate pastor Ben Montague threatens to ruin Buck’s well-laid plan. This sets in motion a chain of events that forces Buck’s past and present to collide, as he learns a truth about the young associate pastor that rocks his world.

Beyond the Cross

Sanctification A Lost Teaching of the Church

Beyond the Cross, Sanctification, a Lost Teaching of the Church ~ When we come to the foot of the Cross and look toward Jesus it is glorious. But, if we do not spiritually move beyond the Cross, then we are living in the shadow of Jesus' death and not the fullness of His life. Sanctification is one of the basic elements at the very core of Christianity. Yet, at some point in history it has become a rarely understood term. Did you know that Scripture teaches five forms of sanctification? With great wisdom and insight, Jackson describes the essentiality of sanctification and draws a picture of the Trinity that can be clearly seen. She presents a vision of the bondage of sin into which we all fall and offers the method to becoming a true servant of God, which we all need. Beyond the Cross will open your eyes and change your heart!
