"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. — 2 Peter 3:18

The Mysteries of Christmas

Friends,

    

I pray and hope you are enjoying reading “The Mysteries of Christmas: Mesmerized by the Wonders of the Incarnation.”  Order it now: https://amzn.to/44GJ3yX 

.

People everywhere love Christmas. It is a time of celebration, love, joy, and goodwill to humankind. Colorful lights all around us, and Christmas carols sang even on secular radio stations and in the malls.


Christmas, “mass on Christ’s day,” is the most celebrated holiday in the world. The majority of Christians consider Christmas a religious holiday. This group of people does their best to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Most non-Christians think it is a “cultural” rather than a religious occasion. But everyone likes to give gifts to family members and friends on Christmas day.


This book is for you no matter what group of people you belong to. 

Jesus is the greatest gift given to humanity by the Creator, God Himself. The ancient writings prophesied hundreds of years before the actual event about the coming of this special Child. 


“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us” (Isaiah 9:6a), who “will save His people from their sins”(Matthew 1:21b).


“Jesus is the reason for the season” became a religious cliché. This book focuses on only one Person—Christ and His Incarnation. I pray and hope that after reading it, you will have a deeper understanding of the real meaning of Christmas and why “Jesus is the reason for the season.” 


Merry Christmas everyone!

VICTORIOUS

Hi friends,


Click on the link to buy the book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VTNAMb


Have you ever wondered why most believers feel defeated instead of victorious? Simply put, they do not have an accurate view of God and His grace and lack a deep, personal understanding and experiential knowledge of who they are in Christ, the wisdom that comes from personal encounters with God.


Indeed, every born-again believer desires to follow Christ faithfully, bear much fruit, glorify God, and walk in victory. However, moving from the desire stage to the implementation phase is a different story. 


VICTORIOUS: God’s Guidelines for Successful Living is not your typical self-help book; it’s a groundbreaking guide that opens the gateway to your spiritual triumph. It uncovers the profound truth that the events at the cross—Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection—are not mere history but a vibrant reality for believers today. It’s a beacon of hope, dispelling the shadows of ignorance and leading us to a life of victory.


VICTORIOUS doesn’t just explain the ‘why’ of our struggles but equips us with the ‘how to’ for Christian triumph. This book is a powerful tool, empowering small groups to foster spiritual growth in the lives of Christ’s disciples so they can confidently navigate their spiritual journey.


VICTORIOUS and The Dangers of Spiritual Immaturity work in tandem, guiding you towards a deeper understanding of your faith and a more victorious life. While The DANGERS exposes the five pitfalls of spiritual immaturity, 


VICTORIOUS provides four crucial aspects that are the keys to spiritual victory. Together, they form a comprehensive guide towards victory. The DANGERS helps you identify and avoid traps, while VICTORIOUS equips you with the tools to overcome and succeed.


This book has the power to revolutionize your spiritual journey, infusing hope and motivating you to conquer any obstacle that comes your way.


 

Thank you for including this book on your spiritual growth arsenal!

The Dangers of Spiritual Immaturity

Dear Friends and Fans, 

  

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know...”

— Ephesians 1:18


By God’s grace I just released another book called “The Dangers of Spiritual Immaturity.” https://amzn.to/48dsHjz 


The book is a must read for every believer. It exposes five great dangers of spiritual immaturity, among which the critical one is “Spiritual Identity Ignorance.” 


Knowing our spiritual identity is the key to spiritual victory. Therefore, “growing up in all aspects into Christ” (Ephesians 4:15) is paramount for all Christians. I highly encourage you to get this book right away. https://amzn.to/48dsHjz 


G.K. Chesterton, once said: “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”


When it comes to the theme of spiritual growth, according to George Barna: “The dilemma is not that believers deny the importance of spiritual growth or have failed to consider the challenges it raises, but that they seem to have settled for a very limited understanding of the Christian faith and their potential in Christ.”


This book exposes five major dangers of spiritual immaturity:


  • Danger number one: Carnality
  • Danger number two: Instability
  • Danger number three: Repulsion towards Solid Food
  • Danger number four: Spiritual Identity Ignorance
  • Danger number five: Inability to Make a Meaningful Contribution to the Spiritual Body of Christ


Let us stop perpetuating the negative statistics when it comes to discipleship and spiritual growth, instead, he encourages every Christian to “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12). 


Merry Christmas everyone!

Grace Rediscovered

Dear Friends and Fans, 


By God's GRACE I was able to publish another book. Praise Jesus for this!


I pray and hope you are enjoying reading this book! Order it now: https://amzn.to/3rc9gqW 


Grace Rediscovered was supposed to be published by the end of 2022, but there was a lot of resistance: my technology and the software were under attack. As a result, my time was under tremendous attack. There were so many glitches and addressing them took longer than expected.

  

This book:


  • Reveals the awesomeness of God’s grace and equips Christ’s disciples with how to appropriate it in all aspects of their lives.
  • Raises a red flag about two great dangers in the church today: legalism and licentiousness.
  • Ministers to believers who are tired of working to maintain their salvation instead of “working it out” (Philippians 2:12) and brings to light so many facets of the grace of God.
  • Is an excellent discipleship tool for pastors, mentors, and small group leaders.


If understood correctly, the concepts in this book will empower you to live victoriously.


I want all my readers to realize that from A to Z, Christianity is a gift from God. From the spiritual birth to the final adoption as God’s children, everything is by His grace, in Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Nobody can boast. No human being can take any credit. We all must humble ourselves and, by faith, access God’s grace. 


I pray and hope you are enjoying reading this book!


With Love in Christ,

The Journey of Transformation

Dear Friends and Fans, 


Praise God! By His grace, my new book, The Journey of Transformation, is available on Amazon. 


Anybody can order it using this link: https://amzn.to/3nB4aR7.

This book: 


  • Is an excellent discipleship and life coaching tool for small groups with reflection questions at the end of each chapter. 
  • Reveals the awesomeness of God’s grace and enhances Christians’ understanding of spiritual transformation, and pastoral counseling. 
  • Is a handy compass to help followers of Christ navigate the map of spiritual transformation to became a good  lay-mindset coach.
  • Encourages Jesus’ followers to identify their own flesh patterns before receiving pastoral counseling and invites them to bring it to the cross.
  • Reinforces the truth that genuine faith is obedience in action leading to a healthy mindset.


Everything we are called to do is by God’s grace, in Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, I pray that the concepts included in this book will be understood correctly in the light of God’s grace. Faith will be stirred up when these truths begin to resonate in the readers' hearts. If believers act upon it, the transformation will occur. 


Dear reader, as you flip through the pages of this book, I hope that the Holy Spirit will bring to your attention precisely what you need to hear at that very moment. I hope many of you, regardless of the stage of spiritual growth, will find the spiritual food necessary for your inner person.


Would I succeed in my desires and wishes? I don’t know; only time would tell. For me, it is essential to walk guided by the Holy Spirit in obedience to the Lord. 


I enjoyed writing every word, phrase, paragraph, and chapter. But I confess that some of the chapters challenged me a great deal. Brothers and sisters, I am on the same journey as you. We are in this together. So, my wish is that you will somehow feel my heart speaking to you from the pages of this book. Have an incredible spiritual journey!


My God bless you, my beloved

The GREAT COMMISSION

Dear Friends and Fans, 


It is my great honor to bring to your attention the most important theme of the New Testament: The Great Commission. It challenges us to think of radical discipleship and spiritual transformation.


 Anybody can order it using this link: https://amzn.to/2UnU9Lm.


The Great Commission: A Closer Look at Why Discipleship Cannot be Ignored is an excellent discipleship tool for small groups, including discussion questions and lesson plans.

  • “Discipleship in the New Testament’s vehicle for the progressive sanctification in the lives of born-again believers. This may shock some of you, but a born-again believer does not automatically become a disciple of Christ. It is important to understand that disciples are made, not born. After people are born again, they belong to God’s family, but they are not disciples yet. After a while, believers are presented with the invitation to embrace the cross (see Matthew 10:38 39, Luke 9:23 24). For some people, this happens shortly after they are born again. For others, the call to discipleship may take place many years down the road. It all depends on each individual’s intentional response to the Holy Spirit.


  • The calling to salvation is addressed to sinners. The calling to discipleship is addressed to saints. Salvation is a gift—it costs people nothing (cf. Ephesians 2:8 9). Discipleship requires the cross—it costs Christians everything (cf. Luke 9:23 24). Salvation opens the door to eternal life. Discipleship opens the door to heavenly rewards (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:11 15, Daniel 12:3). I hope you can see the difference.”[1] 


  • Discipleship is the greatest need of the Church. Churches need to refocus their attention on mature disciples, not just better programs. The truth is that only radical obedient discipleship is leading believers to maturity.


  • George Barna underlines the problem of the contemporary Church. He wrote: “Discipleship is not a program. It is not a ministry. It is a life-long commitment to a lifestyle.”[2]


Christ will soon return, and He expects to find many mature disciples—a people transformed into His likeness. Until then, by God’s grace, let’s make disciples and equip them for the Kingdom of God.


With love in His service,


Valy Vaduva
