But God and Other Sermons by J Frank Norris
The preaching of J. Frank Norris was one of this finest assets, and in it he excelled more than in any other area of his many-talented life. Possessed of a God given ability to speak, his messages held his audiences spellbound, motivating them to yield to the moving of the Spirit.
Norris was unsurpassed in eloquence. His message appealed to the rich and the poor, the learned and unlearned, the good and the bad. Crowds sat in rapt attention to hear the man who “came from the farm” to the forefront of American religious life. In a few short years, he arose from the status of “most despised and defeated” preacher to the pastor of the largest two churches in America.

This book is about people who have made the greatest investments in my life and ministry. They are stories about the people, who by the Grace of God enabled me to be a faithful minister.
These stories are primarily family based and are not intended to bring glory to my family, but to show parents the primary principle that they are to teach to their children, the principle of investing their lives into winning souls.
I have written a book about what I believe we can see from scripture about other nations in Bible history that have fallen into apostasy and the lessons whether good or bad that we as Christians can learn from them.
Some of the topics in this book are:
These practices are :
God’s Brilliant Plan to Reach Fallen Man (Spiral Bound)
This book reveals God’s Perfect plan for redemption, presents the Bible method of getting the gospel to the first generation in forty to fifty years. It also reveals the Local church as the training institution which equipped the first generation of Christians so they could do the work of the ministry. This book also stresses the divine power needed to get the salvation message to every person in their generation and reveals the method of personal motivation which God commanded the first generation of Christian’s to follow which motivated them to turn their world upside-down.
Grandpa, Teach Me to Pray (Spiral Bound)
Don’t let the title of this book fool you. It was written so that even a child could understand it, but it is THE MOST GROWN UP BOOK you’ll ever read.
It has thirteen lesson on the “model prayer” which Jesus commanded the apostles to pray every day. Obeying His command transformed the apostles from average unmotivated men to men of passion and purpose who could not be stopped.
The devil poisons the minds of God’s people by polluting the truth. This book will overcome the “poison waters” of the enemy concerning the “model prayer” and motivate any sincere person who wants to excel as a Christian.
This book is the spiral bound, student edition. It has a section after each chapter with fill in the blank style questions. This is an excellent Sunday School resource.

SUMMARY OF THE LESSONS ON FAITH PROMISE GIVING
Growing As A Co-Laborer With God In World Missions
This is a summary of the four lessons which could cause a child of God to keep
"growing" as a co-laborer with God in world missions.
God commanded his children to continue to grow in II Peter 3:18. The statement, "grow in grace" means to grow in enabling ability. When a child of God stops growing, he begins to digress and go backward.
LESSON ONE
One of the first lessons that Jesus taught the apostles was to lay up treasures for themselves in heaven.
1. Abraham was the first child of God to give tithes to Melchizedek, who represents Jesus. (Genesis 14:20)
2. Jacob demonstrated the amount that one should purpose when giving by promising a tenth part. (Genesis 28:22)
3. Tithing was practiced 400 years before the law was given to Moses and Israel. (Leviticus 27:30)
4. We know that Jesus tithed because he commanded tithing in Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42. He also fulfilled the law, which means he obeyed every part of it. (Matthew 5:17-18)
5. God talks to his children in Malachi 3:10 as a loving Father, and asks them to prove Him (give Him a chance to see if He can make 90% go further than keeping 100%).
6. He that learns to sow (invest) bountifully will reap bountifully in this life and in the ages to come. (II Corinthians 9:6)
7. The first lesson is not whether a child of God will tithe. It is whether he will be obedient or disobedient to God.
LESSON TWO
Dr. Wilkins placed lesson two in the book to illustrate how the devil shoots doubts into every Christian's mind so he will not obey the Lord and grow. He also wanted to give a clear definition of what Faith Promise means.
1. Faith Promise means that a person trusts God to do through him something that he could not do by himself.
2. The child of God realizes that God plainly states it gives Him pleasure to bless and help His children.
3. God has unlimited ways to supply you with your Faith Promise offerings.
4. My lifetime testimony is that God tests my faith at times by waiting to the last minute or even going past the time of giving; but He has never failed me. He is not a respecter of people, and will never fail you.
LESSON THREE
Lesson three is to give you more insight on how God will bring you joy and confidence as He helps you see what your faith giving accomplishes.
1. Your faith giving causes other people to become very thankful to God. (II Corinthians 9:11)
2. Your faith giving causes others to praise God. (II Corinthians 9:13)
3. Your faith giving is an investment into the lives of people who win other people to the Lord. This causes your investment to multiply. ( II Corinthians 9:10)
4. The omnipresent Holy Spirit causes people you have helped accept Christ to pray for you in your trials and difficulties. ( II Corinthians 9:14)
5. When a child of God is obedient in investing in world missions, God has promised to supply his every need. (II Corinthians 9:3) There is no such promise to His child who disobeys Him.
6. In heaven, you come to the, attention of God, not because of your need, but because of your giving which caused people to praise the Lord.
LESSON FOUR
Some people give up their homes and families in order to obey God. The Great Commission is not just to pastors or the specially gifted. It is to all of His children.. Every child of God is obligated to share equally in the responsibility of world missions.
1. God has promised that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved from Hell.
2. However, how can they hear without a messenger?
3. Our part of God's plan for world missions is to give sacrificially in order for the missionary to tell the sinner of God's grace. If we do not do our part, then the missionary cannot go and the sinner dies in his sins.
4. God's simple plan is for you to pray and ask Him how much He will supply to you for the purpose of giving it back to Him as an investment in world missions.
5. If the figure seems too great, keep praying about it until you have perfect peace that it is what God wants you to give. Then trust Him to help you.
6. God will bring everyone's work into judgment because He is keeping records, which will be related as each person appears before Him to give account.
Pastor we know this book will be a blessing to you and your people. This book will help build the faith of your people, and help to lay up treasures in Heaven.

Survivor is a true story of my mothers attempt to abort me.
My mother confessed this fact to my wife and brother the night before she died in 1987. She made them promise they would not tell me until after her death. This confession was so totally contrary to the nature of the mother I knew and loved that I have lived in denial for the past 30 years. Since I have been in the ministry for 60 years and am the author of over 40 books or booklets God directed me to write “Survivor”.
This book shows the destructive nature of abortion and reveals the struggle of two great powers.
Those two power are the father of abortion who is the literal Devil and the father of all life, the True God of love and heaven.
As a survivor I have written to the millions of women who are struggling in shame and guilt of having aborted their own dear baby.
The book Survivor is dedicated to those dear ladies and contains the message of God’s great love for each one of them and his desire to heal the hurt, remove the guilt and save them.
God heard the cries of the American people for leaders who would bring moral and spiritual awakening to our society only to have the father of abortions incite women to destroy them through abortion.
My life is a testimony of how the father of abortions works…kill the unborn. Only God heard my mothers repentant cry and God saved my life.
This book is about a lone survivor whom God overrode the abortion attempt and gave him life and how the Survivor’s life has been a blessing to so many.
The Survivor’s message is from God to the women who aborted their babies. It is a message of forgiveness and restoration to peace and happiness, to anyone who will accept the death of Jesus for the sin (abortion) and ask God for cleansing and mercy.
The Survivor also carries a message from all the babies who were aborted and are now in heaven. It is a message to each mother from each baby saying “mother we forgive you, we love you and are praying that you will turn to God and ask for his mercy. Mother if you will do that he will become your best friend and will personally help you in your life and problems, and you will see me again in heaven.”
Survivor is only $9.95 and would make a excellent gift or personal study.

Some will live in a distant land with a pile of ashes like one receives from a cremation, and lament over a misspent and wasted life for 1000 years.
Some will live with excitement as they watch their children grow up in a world of peace and security where the knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth as water covers the sea. They will see one son wrestle with a little lion cub, while his younger brother lets a copperhead coil around is neck, and feel no fear. They will see their little family grow up and live in a perfect paradise, with King Jesus in charge, for a full 1000 years.
Some will live with a fear worse than death as they chastise themselves for such poor decisions that wrecked their marriages, families and lives. They will live with a pain that is worse than the pain of death for a full 1000 years.
Some will live as mayors of their city. They will live in the big house on the hill, with direct lines to those over ten cities and to the headquarter city, somewhere, you will live among this vast assortment of people. Ponder the question:
Where will you live on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER?
