When sincere believers succumb to temptation it is seldom a sudden thing," writes Richard Exley. "Rather it is the culmination of a series of seemingly innocent compromises that ultimately result in a tragic fall." Exley refers to seven stages of temptation that are common in almost every sinful failure. Maybe you will recognize them, or maybe you are struggling at one of them right now. No matter what stage you are in, don't be discouraged, Deliver Me is ultimately a book of encouragement. It is a guide to enhance your Christian walk by allowing scriptural principles to become part of your spiritual disciplines.

Do not despair! God is with you. That is the faith-affirming message of Strength for the Storm, a map for dealing with the troubles that inevitably arise in our lives. Using dozens of real-life examples, contemporary and biblical, Richard Exley powerfully demonstrates how God not only guides us through difficult periods but transforms those times into positive experiences for our ultimate good. Strength for the Storm is an invaluable reference for ministers, counselors, those enduring a crisis or tragedy, Christians who want to be prepared for future trials, and friends of anyone in the midst of trouble.

Richard Exley has crafted this mosaic of ten vivid and charming vignettes of the very real and human people whose lives were first touched by the Savior: Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth, the shepherds, the wise men.

Do you need a breather? A few minutes to slow your heart rate, settle your mind? Welcome to life in the 21st century it's frenetic, like the scenery from a speeding train.
If you are one of the countless people who have pinned-on a long tail to chase the elusive cheese in the cultural rat race, Living In Harmony is for you!
Author Richard Exley lives there in Harmony. He moved years ago, when he realized that ministry success starts at home. He is a man who has juggled brutal schedules and a stress-fully satisfying career and now he wants to help you by providing practical tips for bringing your life into balance.
In this guide for the busy, Exley allows us a look into his own experiences. You will walk with him as he struggles to balance work, rest, worship and play finally discovering his answer in the life and ministry of Jesus. Although Jesus was totally committed to ministry, He also took time to pray, relax, and nurture friendships.
The life of abundance that Jesus offers is different from what the world promises. Instead of success without fulfillment, He offers meaning in the midst of our hectic lives. Exley invites you to move to Harmony where you will find true peace and fulfillment. It'll be the best move you'll ever make.

Living in Harmony: Moving to a Better Place in Your Life

Exley says that Christianity isn't a moral code, church membership or a way of behaving in public; it is a lifestyle. He uses Jesus as the example for how Christians should be impacting their world by living and demonstrating the gospel.

In Perils of Power, Richard Exley takes an in-depth look at immorality in the ministry. It s a complex issue involving the minister s relationship with money, sex and power. There are many factors at work including the minister s self-image and sexual identity, his life-style, his marital relationship, the way he views power and even how he conducts his ministry. Immorality is seldom just a sexual sin and while it is definitely a spiritual problem, it is more than just a spiritual problem. Perils of Power looks beneath the obvious sins of highly visible ministers in an attempt to understand interpersonal dynamics of moral failure among those who recognize it is a deadly sin. Dr. Exley offers scriptural insights and practical strategies for overcoming the temptations we all face. Can immorality in the ministry be prevented? The most honest answer is no; that is, not completely. But rethinking the way we train people for ministry can significantly reduce the casualties.
