Minister Writers

Did you know that Georgia is home to some prolific writers? Did you know that some of them are also pastors, teachers, and church members of Georgia Baptist churches?

Here is a list I intend to expand as more are made known to me:

Inspirational/Theological Books

            Books by Keith Joseph, pastor of First Baptist Jackson: 

The Awakening---A 24 week study on the path to Spiritual Awakening.

The Search Continues---A 20 week study continuing through Romans. If GOD were to grant you one prayer request, what would you ask Him to do? In the second half of Paul's letter to the Romans, we are exposed to the glorious truth and application of the Gospel that can save anyone.

The Search---A 24 week study through Romans.  In times of crisis, people are forced out of the normal and into the uncomfortable.  It has been said that in times of comfort, people are sometimes nudged into doing things "out of the box."  However, in times of crisis the box gets blown up.  Begin the search to find true answers for the mess we are in.

Urgency---A 26 week study of the book of Revelation.  Learn the church's path for these last days and see how Christians can make a difference now.

Reality---A 30 week trek through Numbers journeying with the Israelites from bondage to blessing.

What's Next---Spend 22 weeks in the books of First, Second and Third John and discover with delight who GOD is and how He wants you to grow in your life of faith.

Apprentice---A year long study in the book of Mark sitting at the feet of Jesus with the apostles. From their ministry call to witnessing the cross, learn how they were transformed from average men to Disciples of Christ.
