Reformation Trilogy
During the Middle Ages there were numerous people who attempted reform in the Catholic Church. Only Martin Luther succeeded to establish lasting changes, but his reforms took him outside the Catholic system and established the Protestant system that is the basis of all Protestant denominations and movements of today. What was it that allowed Luther’s changes to continue to grow long after his death? Why were the reform attempts of people like Wyclif and Savonarola so short lived and ineffectual? This investigation into the lives and attempted reforms of a trilogy of reformers – Wyclif, Savonarola, and Luther – delves into the cultural history of their eras, seeking to find the external factors that contributed to the failure and success of each. Extensive research demonstrates compelling relationships between the obstacles and influences each had on the Church and culture of his own epoch.

Faith 2.0; Finding Hope When the Bottom Falls Out
Anyone who has ever received a difficult medical diagnosis like cancer, had undiagnosed neurological issues that cause permanent damage, experienced an auto accident that has left us with heavy losses and pain, gone through relationships that have painfully fallen apart, or know other bereavement, we know the bottom has fallen out of our well-planned lives and we are left with negative conditions over which we have no control. Most people would find the changes devastating and have difficulty coping with their new reality.
God has a different path for Christians. In this book you will follow Dan and Susan Merritt through a multiple-year and seemingly non-stop journey of serious medical events through which God taught them a deeper experience of dependence on and of abiding in Him. Their faith, hope, and love grew as God showed them His provision and comfort through every setback.
Within the story of their nine-year medical journey, author Susan Merritt, PhD, shares deep theological truths and biblical comfort that are repeatedly confirmed to us in the middle of our pain. Christians frequently find themselves in “God’s waiting room”, learning to abide in Christ, learning what it means to simply be about God’s Kingdom Business, no matter what else is going on around us. Dr. Merritt brings clarity to that process for Christians dealing with long-term infirmity and chaotic events.
Theology 365: Scriptural Truths in Daily Doses.
Like the writer of Colossians, my desire and prayer is that my readers grow in Christ and be encouraged to walk daily in the precepts of God’s Word (Colossians 1:9-11). In order to do that one must know what they are. This book presents Scriptural truths in one-page, easy to digest essays. A daily devotional is never intended to replace our personal reading of the Bible and time with the Lord. It is only a jumping-off place from which to base further study in the Word of God. It is meant to be used along with other Bible Study aids, like a concordance, commentary, Bible dictionary, and maps of the ancient world, to feed your soul and grow your walk with Jesus.
