2 Timothy 3:17: So that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The words "thoroughly equipped" are the Greek word: artios. This web site will hopefully begin listing useful resources to help a person be equipped, while keeping in mind that it is God, by way of Holy Spirit that is the ultimate "equipper."

The first resource I have to offer is my first book, From Cult to Christ. It can be ordered through Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and Target.com. It may also be available in some Christian bookstores, such as Bible Bookhouse in Salem, Oregon.

Here's a brief preview of the book: If cults are so off base, why do they have so many members? Why are they attractive and what causes otherwise intelligent people to be interested in them? Are people who join cults stupid or disillusioned? And how can we avoid being tricked ourselves or keep our family and friends from being tricked? From Cult to Christ answers these questions and more. It tracks one man’s journey from “discovering God” as a young child, to disillusionment with the organized church, to a cult. It tracks through the process of discovering truth through devastating loss, to exiting the cult and entering into the light of Christ’s love through the touch of a loving friend. It’s a real life journey with many twists and turns, triumphs and failures, and loss and restoration. And, finally, it guides the reader into understanding a little more about the new birth and how to know Jesus.
