Bridges 101 is for the non-Billy Grahams among us…for those who would like to share their faith in Christ but are not comfortable doing so. A reader from New Jersey bought the book, then wrote, “Thank you for your book, Bridges 101. I bought it because it seemed to be the answer to my desire to know how to reach out to others without fainting!” Maybe you have felt that way, too. An estimated 85% of those who attend church claim that they are there because of the influence of a friend or relative and not because someone cornered them and “convinced” them. A key truth developed in the book is, “The kingdom advances among friends.” Yet so many find it difficult to know what to say or what to do. Here is help. Here is courage. Courage to be contagious rather than aggressive. Maybe you’ve never attended a Bathroom Party? Most people haven’t but you’ll learn how Ruthie Jacobsen and her husband used a bathroom remodel in their home to create a low-stress witnessing event. Did you know that feeding coins in someone’s expired parking meter can be a “witnessing event?” Eleven-time author Ruthie Jacobsen has written a book that will bring a smile to your face. Bridges 101 is filled with stories of simple, non-threatening, joyous ways to build bridges, caring bridges, to those with whom they wish to share their faith in Christ. Each of the eleven chapters opens up possibilities you may never have thought of.

More than twenty times the Bible refers to God as a steady Rock for His people. The symbol is an apt one. Rock is stable; our God is unchanging. Rock is durable; our God endures forever. We set our buildings on rock; our God is the sure foundation. A rock can cast a shadow; our God is a Shadow in a weary land. A rock can survive a storm; our God is a refuge. Rock is everywhere; our God is omnipresent. The similes would make a long list. This is a unique book. Three powerful preachers Ruthie Jacobsen, Dwight Nelson, and Fredrick Russell have contributed compelling insights into their own journey to the Rock. Their messages are biblical, personal, and passionate. They are also authentic, vulnerable, and motivating. 
You will like the fact that these messages first saw the light of day as sermons preached to live congregations; for that reason they tend to carry the informality and brisk pace of the spoken word. You will find the book a joyous read and valuable in your journey, too.

Created to inspire and encourage, this motivational book has been strongly endorsed by well-known leaders such as former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, music legends like gospel musician Bill Gaither and faith-based figures such as In Touch Ministries founder and well-known television personality Dr. Charles Stanley. The book has been described as a major dose of courage and strength as our country goes through difficult times. And for the price of the book alone, there is also included a superb, upbeat full-length CD with faith-inspiring music, custom-produced specifically for the book by Greater Vision, the most awarded trio in gospel music. A reader from Massachusetts said, "I have just read your book that a friend loaned to me. God used it to be a real blessing to me at a very hurtful time in my life. Thank you for sharing your stories that reinforced my faith that God has a thousand ways to provide for us when we see none!" Ruthie Jacobsen is a member of the National Prayer Committee, host of a weekly television show on Sky Angel for six years and an internationally-sought speaker. She is known in some circles as a Professional Encourager. The fifteen easy-read chapters are built around the true stories of people facing difficulties who dared to trust God for His providence. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry but you’ll find courage – and reason to sing.
