In 2012 I began writing (and designing) short devotional pieces. We posted them on Instagram thinking that our friends and family would politely like them. But to our absolute shock, complete strangers liked them, too. A few years on, and here we are. I never dreamed that Pocket Fuel would turn into this practice and lead me to you. I'm forever grateful for it, no matter how rudimentary and humble our beginnings were.Not too long into our Instagram experiment, we found ourselves asking deeper questions around our faith. Everything we thought we knew; thought we had a handle on; thought was secure and for always; was challenged, questioned, and stripped bare. We experienced tragedy at home, and at work. We quit our jobs as Pastors, and started from scratch (faith and vocation) in our mid thirties. But through what felt like the death of all we thought we knew and would be, we found beauty and community. Our faith has a vibrancy that it was once devoid of. And our questions and doubts? I no-longer feel guilty for having them. They are an active part of my faith.

“An early-autumn treat fit for late-night devouring.” —Publishers Weekly “A taut gothic mystery with an intriguing twist.” —Susanna Calkins, award-winning author of the Lucy Campion Mysteries and the Speakeasy Murders A Ghostly Window Into the Past Nurse Nellie Lester can’t escape death. Fleeing Chicago at the height of the 1918 Spanish flu, she takes a nursing job at a decrepit mansion on a desolate Michigan island. She’s convinced the island holds the secret to her mother’s murky past. The only problem? Her dead mother seems to have followed her there. Nightly she’s haunted by a ghostly presence that appears in her bedroom. But is it her mother or something more sinister? When the frozen body of the prior nurse is unearthed, Nellie suspects her family’s history and the nurse’s uncanny death are connected to a mysterious group that disappeared from the island twenty-four years earlier. As winter closes in, past and present collide resurrecting a lurid killer, hell-bent on keeping the island’s secrets. Will Nellie uncover her mother’s shocking past before the killer enacts his final revenge? “Lukasik blends all the elements needed for a dark suspense novel: a forbidding mansion, ghostly presences, secret passages, a hostile housekeeper, a temperamental employer, and residents unwilling to talk to outsiders. For fans of Rebecca, The Woman in White, and The Death of Mrs. Westaway.” —Library Journal

Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

DEMONIC OPPRESSION IS REAL. SPIRITUAL WARFARE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! Author Areon Potter knows that Satan, demons, and their ploys have tormented humanity since the Fall. In From Darkness to Light, Areon provides practical tools to effectively arm the reader for spiritual battle. Discover how the forces of darkness scheme against Gods people. Learn the importance of knowing God and what His names reveal. Discern how to effectively put on the full armor of God. Protect yourself from the attacks of the enemy through prayer. Realize how demonic forces oppress Christians. Areon and I were in a counseling ministry together when it became very evident that spiritual warfare had to be an integral part of the counseling process. Areon is gifted in this difficult and often neglected ministry of dealing with the demonic. His 30+ years of counseling extremely difficult cases has given him a solid Biblical understanding of this subject. Bill Woods, Campus Crusade for Christ JESUS Film Project From Darkness to Light is a great resource for our times. It gives solid Biblical insights into an arena that most people choose to deny exists. Its an excellent tool for skeptics, and those who feel ill equipped to deal with spiritual warfare. It is a valuable read. Pastor David McGarrah, Deer Flat Church, Caldwell, Idaho The belief or lack of belief in demonic forces will not change the Biblical fact that demons exist. The Bible speaks of Satan roaming to and fro, searching for whom he may devour. Evil may lurk in the darkness, but hope gleams in the Light. Let From Darkness to Light transform your vision, your choices, and your life.
