The Divine Intention For Our Human Life" answers four fundamental spiritual questions: what is the purpose of human existence; why was I born into this particular human life; how will my life generally unfold over time; and what are the experiences and opportunities I should be pursuing during my lifetime to fulfill God's intention for my life.
In "Lessons from the Teacher Buddha," some key teachings of the Buddha are presented that focus on ethics, inter-relationships, and how we should look at the life made available to us.

They offer another possible roadmap in the pursuit of one's spiritual path.

Are You a Mature Christian? How do you know? Is there a Biblical way to know if you are maturing in the faith? Does God give us a way to measure growth? Absolutely! In Seven Steps To Maturity, Pastor Randy Bell shares powerful insights from two of Christ's closest friends, John and Peter. You will be taken back to the clear instructions God gives on how to grow up and please Him. This book will teach you how important it is to mature in the faith God's way, and how to measure your progress. And also Peter warns you must follow this narrow way. "But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins. So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:9-11 (NLT)
Unpacking the Boxes of Our Attachments posits that our happiness already exists within us, accessible to us if we make the choice to allow it to infuse our life. Instead, we usually choose to prevent our happiness from arising by unconsciously attaching ourselves to those things that inherently create un-happiness for us. In the end, we see that happiness does not come from how the world treats us. It comes from how we choose to perceive the world, and whether we choose to live a life free from the destructive, negative attachments that we create.
