Synopsis

Do you desire to do great things for God but feel like you're falling short?
Does your life feel small, filled with endless demands, seemingly insignificant work, mundane responsibilities, or challenging relationships? If your desire to make an impact for God's kingdom collides with the limits and disappointments of everyday life, it's easy to feel restless, resigned, and discouraged.
Scripture offers a better way. In one of Paul's letters, there's an unexpected, paradoxical call: "Make it your ambition to live quietly . . ."
In The Quiet Ambition, pastor and theologian Ryan P. Tinetti unpacks the rich spiritual wisdom of 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, showing how it can help you reimagine what following Jesus looks like. Tinetti explores four key postures for living out your Christian life:

- Live quietly.
- Tend your own business.
- Work with your hands.
- Walk gracefully toward outsiders.
This call to quiet ambition frees you to embrace God's presence in the small, ordinary moments of your life. By shifting your focus from self-aggrandizing desires and internalized pressure for spiritual achievement to faithful living in the everyday, you can experience real hope and discover what it truly means to live a life that counts.
Are you ready to reimagine what following Jesus looks like in your everyday life? Order your copy of The Quiet Ambition and start your journey today!

    Following Christ - Rediscovering...

    Many followers of Jesus forget that the faith that He practiced during his time on earth was Judaism. If you are a follower of Christ, rediscovering the Jewish faith of Jesus will enhance your faith. At the same time, if you are a Jew who follows the Torah, then embracing the teaching of the rabbi Jesus, will enhance your faith as well. Both families who hunger for God, Christians and Jews have something to gain through embracing the faith of Jesus. 
    This book walks you through numerous Scriptures and their traditional interpretations. Harry Buerer contrasts them with the Jewish teaching of Jesus and shows powerfully how historical Christian thinking has ignored this aspect of the life of Christ. You will rediscover the Judaism at the very center of Jesus’s preaching and that of his followers.  
    Christian readers will learn how Jesus’ teaching was the fulfilment of Mosaic Law. And Jewish readers will re-discover their brotherhood with his scriptural priorities and passion for his faith.

    Dad, Why Didn’t You Tell Us About This Place? confronts the silence many families carry about eternity. 
    Written from a father’s perspective, it serves as a wake-up call to parents, especially fathers, to speak truth, urgency, and hope into the lives of their children while there is still time. 
    Rooted in Scripture and personal reflection, the book challenges readers to consider responsibility, legacy, and the eternal consequences of unspoken faith. 
    This is not a message of condemnation, but one of accountability, redemption, and the power of conversations that matter most.

    This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to use Reiki to bring balance to your system so your body can heal itself more efficiently. 
    Are you looking for an alternative way of getting healthier? A method that hopefully does not involve any kind of drugs or medication because you are worried about the negative side effects that they bring. Worry no more, there is a not-so-new method of natural healing that has been practiced for hundreds of years in the East, and is now available in the Western hemisphere. Now, even Americans can receive the many benefits of the ancient Japanese practice called Reiki. 
    Reiki is an alternative healing technique that does not rely on anything pharmaceutical whatsoever. In fact, it does not even rely that much on physical contact whatsoever. This technique uses the energy emitted by the human body. This technique is used to place some of the practitioners energy to clear the patient’s ki pathways, which are the reasons why the person’s body cannot heal itself. Once the ki pathways are cleared, the body can then start regenerating and healing itself from whatever it is that ails them. 
    You will learn more about Reiki when you continue reading this book, like the different forms of Reiki, and the various ailments that it can cure. And you will also learn how to do very basic reiki healing techniques on your own, you will learn how to heal yourself whenever you feel under the weather. 
    Also, you will be provided with the basics—including interesting historical points referencing the existence of the Akashic Records as a very real thing and not just a metaphor that embodies the idea of divine knowledge. 
    I will talk you through what it is and what purpose it serves. We will also discuss how you can develop access to it through meditation and all the different ways you can benefit from the information you’ll be receiving.
