Furthermore, the plight of women in the Majority World demands a Christian response, a holistic embrace of all that God calls women...

We do not have final answers to the deep problems of life, and those who say they do are probably living in some degree of delusion. There are areas of mystery in our Christian faith that lie beyond the keenest scholarship or even the most profound spiritual exercises.For many people, these problems raise so many questions and uncertainties that faith itself...

This book, "Mystery of the Keys of the Kingdom," will reveal a mystery that I believe will open the locked understanding of what Jesus was telling Peter in Matthew 16:19 when Jesus said, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom...
