We didn’t look like a cult. We didn’t live in a commune or commit mass suicide. But we did drink the Kool-Aid…
In the summer of 1997, Peter was offered his dream sportscasting job and married the love of his life. He and Paige started a family and his TV career blossomed. Life was great. There was only one problem.
Paige brought to the marriage her beloved mentor, the mysterious Uncle Robert. For years Peter kept his objections to Uncle Robert and his crazy ideas quiet, but as Paige’s blind devotion to him grew, so too did his power. Eventually, Uncle Robert controlled everything—Paige, Peter, their marriage, and their children.
Unwittingly sucked into a dangerous religious cult by the wife he loved, Peter was trapped. Confront Uncle Robert and he risked losing both his marriage and family. Say nothing, and he risked losing control of his mind.
In his powerful memoir, Peter shows how he was brainwashed by a narcissistic cult leader and how, with the help of family, friends, and his Christian faith, he fought the hardest battle of his life.

IN The Mashiah, author Mark Stouffer delves into the ancient prophecies of the Tanakh, seeking to understand exactly what the Biblical authors were predicting. Building upon a foundation of scholarship and prayer, Mark examines the Tanakh’s messianic prophecies to see how strongly they foretell the life and mission of Jesus. Please join him on this journey of discovery.
Some of the questions we will consider in The Mashiah include:
- Did the prophets give any indication that there would be two comings of the Messiah?
- Why did Daniel predict that the Messiah would be killed?
- Why did Zechariah prophesy that the Messiah will come at the end of time and have wounds?
This book is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also good for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.
WHILE arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; . . .” In this series of books we will examine the Tanakh in order to see if Jesus’ claim has any merit.
In Hesed we will consider if the sacrificial system prescribed in the Torah prefigures Jesus’ death on the cross. We will do so by asking such root level questions as:
- Why did the Jews need to sacrifice lambs at the first Passover in order to be exempt from G-d’s judgement? After all, they were the victims in this event of slavery and oppression.
- Why did the High Priest need to immediately exit G-d’s presence once he sprinkled the blood in the Holy of Holies? Didn’t the blood atone for his sins on Yom Kippur?
- et.al.
We will also examine the lives of Joseph, Moses, David, and Daniel. For, there are some noticeable similarities between their lives and Jesus’ life. The question is, were these details purposely inserted in the Tanakh to foreshadow Jesus, or is this just a coincidence.
Join author Mark Stouffer as he seeks to understand the intended meaning of the Biblical authors.
Hesed is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also good for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.
How would you respond if asked to do something you knew was impossible? Something so difficult, so crazy, so beyond your ability that it didn’t even make sense. You’d dismiss it, forget about it, and act like you were never asked, right? But what if it were God asking? What if you were absolutely sure that you had just heard God speak?
This is that story. It is the story of ultimate Christian Evangelism. It is the story of life-changing adventure driven by a desire to share the gospel. It is the story of two very unlikely people who God asked to walk across America. They were to walk from one side of the country to the other, in every conceivable kind of weather, facing what seemed like insurmountable odds, taking every step together, and accomplish it in just six months.
As you listen to this memoir, you’ll take each step with them, meet the people they met, hear the prayers they prayed, feel their pain and celebrate their victories. This is the incredible, true account of their once-in-a-lifetime, and how it transformed their lives forever.
Are you ready to confidently and effectively share the gospel of Jesus with others? With “Until the Whole World Knows,” you will learn how to overcome fear and make a lasting impression as you share your faith. Get ready to discover new ways to spread the good news and tell the greatest story of all time!
Do you ever wonder why the Bible uses so many references to seeds, plants, and harvest? Or why the first home for humanity was a garden? Does the abundance of foliage all around us perhaps have some wisdom from our maker entwined within its roots?
When we compare our lives to the life cycle of plants, we can see similarities that allow us to relate, and in that relationship, there is wisdom and answers. Our world is surrounded by plant life in various stages of their life cycle, from seed form to harvest. There’s no mistake that God first created a garden and had us work the ground. God’s garden is the world around us! When we sit in the garden, not only are we blessed by God’s colorful artistry, but we find wisdom for how to live our lives in abundance, producing fruit for God’s harvest.
