What is "sin?" Where did it come from? Why does it exist? Why would God allow it to exist at all? If God created everything that exists, did God create "sin?" How does "sin" impact the daily life of the believer? If I look at a woman or man, am I "sinning?" If I lie, am I "sinning?" What if I'm trying to do the right things, but I just don't get them just right, am I "sinning? Are there sins that don't deserve death or hell? What if I just make a...

This book is a take on the recent events in the US, regarding racism and its impact on America. I present my argument from a Latino's point of view. As a Chicano, I watch how the black community is being impacted in a negative way by certain forces which do not have them or this country in their best interest. I look at the issue through "brown eyes," and compare much of what's happening from the perspective of a person of color whose people have...

The Brown Berets Organization impacted the Chicano Movement in a powerful manner from its beginnings, in 1967, until the early eighties. Known primarily for their militancy, the Berets were often compared to the Black Panthers. They clashed with police, were infiltrated by law officers, sometimes fought among themselves, but through it all, they persisted in their commitment to the cause. Their slogans of "Viva La Raza!" and "Chicano Power!" still...

As a counselor, for the last 24 years, I have had to deal with this one issue countless of times. I have been blessed by God to be able to help many persons come to a healthy understanding of forgiveness, what it means, what it accomplishes, the consequences and the results when done right. On the other hand, I have also seen the results of ill-understood principles regarding forgiveness. Many have been the persons who have come to my office still...

Have you ever wondered what Bible characters were thinking and feeling while all those things were going on around them? This book is about their thoughts, feelings, fears, and triumphs.Bible stories are always short and to the point. Maybe the writers didn't have more imagination, or God just wanted to get His point across and that's it. Either way, we are left wondering about many things that aren't answered. Bible Stories Told My Way goes a step...

A las personas se les enseña acerca del perdón de maneras muy diferentes. Sin embargo, muchas veces estas enseñanzas son en realidad, opiniones personales que involucran emociones con agendas egoístas. Por lo general estas personas no cambiarán sus opiniones, aunque las evidencias les muestren que sus enseñanzas no tienen éxito. Mi objetivo aquí, es proporcionar a la persona que sufre, una explicación clara de por qué hacemos lo que hacemos...

I wrote another book which I titled, "What is Sin Really?" In it I touched on the subject of this book, which has since captured my attention. I decided to put together a short book, if you will, about the whole concept. To end up with anything which will remotely look logical and yet not sacrilegious at the same time, I will start by establishing a specific premise:• That God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and perfect (meaning without...

What is the authority of the Pastor? What areas of a Christian's life does the pastor have a "right" to involve himself into? When can a pastor affect what may seem to be a private matter of a Christian's life? To what point is a Christian accountable to the pastor? Where is the line that a pastor does not want to cross, when dealing with his "flock?" In addition, I want to offer ideas to the new pastor on how to conduct the service, collect offering,...

We all struggle with some aspect of our walk with God. It may appear trifling, or like a mountain in perspective. As a counselor, I have heard all types of questions from my clients. Am I the only one that feels this way? Do other Christians struggle with their relationship with God? Am I the only one who wonders whether this is all something we made up and there is no God? The questions have been many, but sadly, the answers have been few. Questions...
