Since the dawn of time, mankind has used sound to receive information from the environment, to communicate with each other and to heal and transform. Almost all ancient cultures believed, and still believe, that sound is the creative, generative force which brought the Universe into being. In the New Testament John 1:1 states In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In the book of Genesis, the Bible refers to the God-force or creative force of the Universe (Elohim) who spoke, uttered a sound the result was the world created in 7 days! This book is birthed out of a couple of messages Pastor Penny Francis preached at Ruach City Church. ';My Affliction has a Sound' is all about the powerful connection of sound to our seasons of difficulty and how Jehovah God responds to the sounds of His people. It is not hard to come to the conclusion that when we go through times of affliction, even when we don't cry, we cry because our Affliction has a Sound!

A simple guide to the Christian faith for new believers. Your First Steps has been used as a foundational resource and study tool for new Christians for over thirty-five years. Often, after making the decision to profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, new Christians find it difficult to understand what it really means to be a Christian. They try to read the Bible and pray and participate in church services and do all the things that are expected of any Christian who is serious about their new life in Christ. Despite their best efforts it can often feel like they are walking through a minefield and they can feel very tempted to give up when it seems like they are failing and are nowhere near the standard that God requires of all believers. Your First Steps helps the new believer to approach their new life step by step, highlighting key Biblical principles and explaining them in simple and easy to understand terms. It's compact and easy to read, answering many of the most common questions and making the first steps of the Christian Walk easier to navigate.
