| David Signs Author/Publisher Agreement
CONCORD, NH Thursday., August 7, 2008
David has signed an Author/Publisher agreement for his first, non-fiction book entitled Sons of God: Reigning with Christ Now and Forever.
Sons of God is about our identity in Christ. We are not worms. We are not one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. We are not victims in this world. We are the blood-bought children of the Living God. According to the Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, we are the “sons of God” (Gal. 3.26; Rom. 8.14). Walking in this mindset is counter-culture. Unbelievers don't know who or what we are. They think we are out of our minds. Living out of our sonship identity also flies in the face of everything that we are told by the voices of nominal Christianity.
God has delegated authority to his “sons.” We are those sons. So we need to know what that looks like and how to walk in it. We may suffer in this fallen world, but we do not need to be victims. We may have unbelievable struggles, but we reign from the seat of Christ. In the midst of spiritual warfare, we speak down, not up to demonic strongholds and powers (Eph. 2.6; Col. 3.1). David argues that even the women are “sons.” And this is not, as the world would view it, a put-down. Rather it is a lift-up.
Scripture says, do not be squeezed into the world's mold but instead be transformed by the renewing of your mind--understanding who you truly are (Rom. 12.1-2). Sons of God, read with a sincere desire to understand God’s will for your life, will provide a significant insight in your spiritual transformation. From the grand picture of the purposes of God in Creation, through the tumultuous times the world is experiencing, through the practical chapters on ministry in the 21st century, to the wondrous climax of the final chapters on the New Earth and our place in the kingdom, Sons of God can enlarge your understanding and truly be used of God to change your life and future.
The manuscript goes first through editing and set-up stages. Then the publisher is projecting a release date of December 2008. Please pray with us that David can make all the deadlines and the book be launched by this Christmas. Sons of God will be available at Amazon.com, Borders, and Barnes and Noble. We will also make it available on our website bookstore and at our book table during retreats and seminars in the months following its release.
Once galleys are approved, we plan to give a free book to all who give a one-time gift to Frontline, before its release. To those who give a one-time gift in the $25-49. range we will give a signed, first- edition, quality paperback of Sons of God. To those who pledge monthly support of $25 or more for our continued ministry, we will give a signed, first- edition, hardcover with full-color dust jacket.
Check back for updates on the progress of the Sons of God: Reigning with Christ Now and Forever.

Update on Marcy's Health
CONCORD, NH Wed., August 6, 2008
We continue to be amazed at God's grace and leading as we walk with him through this season of our lives. Marcy is very healthy, full of energy, and learning TONS about health, disease, and alternative treatments. One thing that we have learned is that ALL experts agree that only one system in the body fights and defeats disease. The immune system is God's provision for defeating disease in the human body.
Most cancer treatments decimate the body's immune system. Chemotherapy and radiation would make healthy people sick. If these "treatments" make healthy people sick, why would we give them to a sick person and expect them to get "well?" We don't see the logic in using "treatments" that destroy or severely compromise the biological provision God gave us for fighting and ridding the body of disease and sickness. Most traditional medical treatments do not heal cancer, they simply treat cancer until it pops up somewhere else. The main problem is that when it pops up elsewhere the "treatments" have so weakened or destroyed the body's ability to fight the cancer that the patient dies, either from the cancer or another lesser problem due to the weakened immune system. We have more first-hand testimonies of how the treatment, not the cancer killed patients, than we do people who were harmed by building up their immune systems. We don't believe that poisoning the body is God's plan for his children, bought by the blood of Christ. We are certain that many believers would testify to how God brought them through using traditional medicines' treatments, but we suspect that they only came through because God was involved, in spite of the treatments. We have decided to entrust Marcy’s care to homeopathic rather than allopathic doctors.
We believe that by trusting God to heal and eating and living as he intended, by making sure that we remove stress and the foods that weaken the body's ability to repair itself, that we can be whole. It doesn't mean that we won't die someday, but why not live in such a way that we die trusting God and doing things his way. Why not enjoy a quality of life that does not include poisons (chemo and radiation).
We have spent the last three months building up Marcy’s immune system. She is already noticing improvements. One example is her overall energy level. Another is how her cuts heal much more quickly. How well she feels overall. We are still praying that the Lord will lead us to a believing homeopathic physician who will monitor Marcy's progress as we build up her capacity to defeat this cancer.
We have both made major changes in our lifestyle. We eat vegetables, fruits, and grains only. We try to shop for organic exclusively to avoid the pesticides. We drink fresh vegetable juices and eat live foods whenever possible. We drink purified or distilled water.
We go to bed around 9:30; lights out by 10:30. We rise at between 6-7am. We exercise regularly (walking or Planet Fitness). We make sure we get lots of sunshine (when it's out, which is rare this summer in NH).
Marcy is going for a week to North Carolina early in the fall. She's headed to a Christian Lifestyle center that has WONDERFUL success with cancer healing through building up the body's immune system.
Again, we keep in the forefront of our thinking that God is the healer. We do our part and he does his. And we thank you for your prayers, emails, and notes.

 | We want to introduce you to some software for your PDA, Smartphone, Pocket PC, or iPod that makes Bible study so much richer and easier. You can have on your Palm or Smartphone 4 or 5 Bible Translations (NIV study, ESV, RSV, NASB, KJ, The Message). You can search, highlight, and bookmark important or relevant passages. I have used a Palm Tungsten E for years. I take my Palm--with Laridian's software--to Bible study, seminars, small groups, church on Sunday. Someone wondered why I don't carry a Bible to meetings. I showed them that indeed, I carry 4 Bibles to meetings. Plus my morning devotional. |
Anyone who purchases this software from the links on our website will not only have useful and efficient Bible tools at your disposal wherever you go, but will be contributing to Frontline as well. We receive a small commission on your purchase. As you know this is a non-profit ministry. So the money will be well used for ministry purposes. We want to thank you in advance for any purchase you might make at Laridian.com.
