Facing your ultimate death can be scary, but in light of God's promises, it doesn't have to be. Finish Line provides practical and biblical help on topics such as finances, blessing others, end-of-life choices, heaven, and caring for those you leave behind so you can approach your own finish line with hope, joy, and peace. It's normal to have questions about how to face the last season of our lives well, and though we long to end our lives with grace and gratitude, sometimes we feel fear and uncertainty instead. Robert Wolgemuth knows what it is like to face death, having lost his first wife of almost 45 years to cancer and battling cancer twice himself. Finish Line distills a lifetime of spiritual wisdom as Robert helps you: Find true peace and reassurance about the end of life Discover the things you can do to prepare those you love before you die Understand the truth about heaven and what God has for his followers in the next life Learn from people in the Bible about what crossing the finish line should--and shouldn't--look like Take care of specifics such as planning your funeral service, determining end-of-life issues, and preparing a will Let go of physical, relational, and emotional clutter Receive what God has for you in your final years A rich guide for this season of your life, Finish Line offers unvarnished--even lighthearted--truth to comfort your heart, practical help to ease your mind, and a reminder of God's promises to comfort your spirit so you can look toward your own finish line with both peace and hope.
Stephen Covey wrote, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing." For men and women searching for truth amid the noise and clutter, this principle could never be more crucial. And while the church is tossed about by the same uncertainty, Robert Wolgemuth's provocative 7 Things You Better Have Nailed Down Before All Hell Breaks Loose puts a stake in the ground and says, "Here's something you can count on, no matter what." In life you don't rise to the level of your circumstances; you fall to the level of your training. This strong exposition of the foundations of the Christian faith brings a calm, clarity, and confidence to train those who need something certain to claim. The seven things are: 1. God Is God; He Is the Creator-Holy, Sovereign, and Merciful 2. The Bible Is God's Word 3. Mankind Is Eternally Lost and in Need of a Savior 4. Jesus Christ Died to Redeem Mankind 5. Grace and Faith Are Gifts 6. Belief and Works Are One 7. The Church Is God's Idea
Robert Frost said, “Home is where, when you go there, they have to take you in.” It’s the place where you truly belong. From time to time I meet people who aren’t really from anywhere. They’ve lived in so many places that no one place is home to them. If you have many homes, you don’t really have a home at all. And we’ve all had the experience of going back home, wherever that might be, and finding out that it doesn’t feel the way we remember it. Even when you go home, it doesn’t always feel like home. Part of the problem is that even at its best, life on this earth can’t satisfy our deepest longings. That’s what a verse in the Bible (Hebrews 13:14) means when it says, “For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.” The New Living Translation renders the first phrase: “This world is not our home.” This world is not and cannot be our true home. Victor Hugo said we spend the first 40 years leaving home and the next 40 years going home. Friendships come and go; people move into our lives for a while, and then they drift away. We move from house to house, job to job, church to church, sometimes even from spouse to spouse, always looking, searching, hoping for a place where we will finally feel at home. A place where we can relax and be ourselves. Where we don’t have to pretend or try hard to impress others. Where we can say, “Ah, this is where I belong.” But such a place is beyond this world. And we will never really be at home here because we are constantly saying good-bye to the people we love the most. They leave us, or we leave them. Our children grow up, they leave home, they come back for a visit, and all too soon they leave again. If you are looking for a place where you won’t have to say good-bye, you won’t find it in this world. I think God set it up this way on purpose so that no matter where we’re from, we’ll never feel at home anywhere on earth. The good-byes of this life are meant to make us homesick for heaven, where all who know Jesus personally will live forever. Heaven is a real place, filled with real people. And contrary to popular opinion, it’s not just living for hundreds of thousands of years and never dying. Far from it. The Bible says that when we get to heaven, we will be “at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8). What does that mean? Jesus said to the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). The essence of heaven is the presence of Jesus. Heaven is where He is, and when we are in heaven, we will be with Him forever. The night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed, “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God and knowing Him, Jesus Christ. John 1:12 promises, “To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” If you know Jesus, you have everlasting life here and now. It begins the moment you believe in Jesus as your Savior, and it continues right on through your death, and it will carry you all the way home to heaven. So remember, you won’t find a true home in this world. The only true home will be heaven, and you can’t get there without Jesus. And even if you know Him as your Savior, you’re not home yet. So the challenge for all of us is to come to Jesus, receive Him as Savior, then in every word and in every action build our life on Him. If you want to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you might want to offer Him a prayer like this: Jesus, I know that You died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. You rose from the dead to prove that You have conquered sin and death so all who believe in You can live forever with You in heaven. I now trust Jesus and believe that He has paid the penalty for my sin and makes me a member of God’s family forever. I turn away from my sins and now receive You as my Savior and Lord. Help me to serve You faithfully and look forward to being with You in heaven for all eternity. Thank You, Jesus, for loving me and saving me. Amen.
Christian parents have no greater privilege than to introduce their children to God's grace. This book, written for parents, highlights the character of God, the reality of sin, the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, the empty tomb, and the gift of salvation. A cd with five hymns for children will seal these concepts in their hearts, and the text will help parents teach their children and guide them in prayer to receive Jesus and follow him as their personal Lord and Savior.
You may think you’re too old to run fast, but you’re not too old to run well. When the lead runner starts his final lap in a long-distance race, the starter fires his pistol for the second time. This signals the start of the gun lap—the last chance to leave it all out on the track. “Gun Lap” is for men who are running their last lap. Or maybe younger men who are looking ahead to their gun lap, but want to live the rest of their lives with purpose and strength. This is no small thing. In fact, it’s a big deal, because we only get one chance at this life. The author of the New Testament book of Hebrews agrees...wrote, “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (12:1 CSB). Perseverance. No word better describes the goal of this race…every lap…including the last one. “Gun Lap” will help you pay close attention to the strides you have left.

WHAT’S GOD DOING IN YOUR STORY? Our kids beg us for stories at bedtime or while we drive; we gather around firepits and dinner tables to tell and retell our favorite tales—the more dramatic the better. But when it comes to our actual lives, we prefer something less sensational, even boring—sunny skies and smooth sailing, please and thank you. We want our own stories to be predictable, safe, controllable, and catastrophe-free. When plans fall apart, jobs are lost, kids wander off, doctors give bad reports, we often wonder, "What are you doing, God? Are you sure you have this under control? It doesn’t really seem like it right now." God is the master Storyteller. He’s writing your story and it’s a part of His bigger, grander, eternal Story. But we’re still in the middle. We haven’t gotten to the happy ending yet, and it can be hard to trust Him in the thick of our struggles. That’s why Robert and Nancy share their own story, friends’ stories, and the stories of people in the Bible who have faced life-altering challenges, but, in the end, have found God to be faithful. Learn why you really can trust God to write your story—no matter what plot twists you may encounter along the way. "This is a unique and charming book, integrating stories of God’s providence from His people and His Word. Nancy and Robert write personally and beautifully, infusing readers with a Christ-centered vision, hope, and trust for the future." -Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven, Giving is the Good Life, and Deception "You Can Trust God to Write Your Story is an amazing book whose title says it all. For if you are a follower of Jesus, every day of your life—whether you feel like it or not—is weighted with kingdom purpose, eternal significance, and a royal destiny filled with joy and contentment. Let my dear friends, Robert and Nancy, help you embrace the mysteries of the Lord’s Providence. For when it comes to happy endings, you can’t find a better Author than the God of the Bible. Happy endings are His forte—turn the page, trust Him, and discover it for yourself." -Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center
