Fresh Manna is not a comprehensive book on hermeneutics; it is an introductory text, with a specific design to whet the appetite of the reader to desire to read and study the word of God for the rest of their life. As a lifelong learner, one who is enamored with the Book of all Books, my prayer is that the helps provided will inspire the student to dig out the nuggets of truth, and fall more and more in love with the Lord of the Book....Jesus.

On Belay! an Introduction to Christian Counseling

This is the second edition of the book originally crafted by my dear friend, mentor and now member of the great cloud of witnesses, Dr. Joseph J. Bohac. For both Doc Bohac and myself, much of our understanding of human development comes from being acutely interested in people. We were/are observers, and we have studied much in this dynamic field. That being said, we are not really academics...more practitioners, and we have written this book to be read by students who may not do much additional study in the field of Human Development than this work. Thus, though we believe it is scholarly, it is not written for the advanced scholar, but the average person who is also fascinated with God's special creation...mankind. "

Wisdom is the principle thing, get wisdom. Walk in Wisdom, based upon the 2013 sermon series preached at Pastor Gary and Gina Holley's Fontana Christian Center International Ministries, in Fontana, California. The focus of the book is to provide insight into the important topic of wisdom. In both the preaching and the writing, the author's intent is to develop both the theological and practical (you must know wisdom, and what wisdom is, before one can walk it out in daily living) aspects of this important biblical concept. In this work, Dr. DeKoven covers several topics of importance for the person wanting to walk in God's will. They include: - Living Life As God Intended - by intention (rather than haphazardly as many believers do today. - Guidance for the Journey of Life; practical principles for powerful living. - Identity - Who We Are; until you know who you are, your potential is limited. - Living Life in the Wisdom of God by Intention with Discipline; it takes discipline, but it is not as hard as you think. - Walk in Wisdom: Choose the Right Gate; really all of life is about choices. Adapted from a book of practical wisdom for teenagers, this practical work will be a blessing for young and old. As Paul wrote "Walk in wisdom towards outsiders, making the most of the opportunity." (Col. 4:5)
