A Word From God

We could all use a Word from God now and then (usually "now" more than "then"!)

Thankfully, He's given us over 800,000 of them...right there in the Bible! Words that give hope and inspiration, encouragement and guidance, insight and understanding. The Bible gives us more practical wisdom than any other book in the world.

Yet for many people, this wisdom remains hidden on a shelf rather than hidden in a heart. So Lana and I, along with some gifted friends, have begun to record Bible verses on various topics set to beautiful music.

NEW!! You can now also now order a new series of books written by Eric Elder, featuring titles like What God Says About Sex, What God Says About Missions, and What God Says About Angels. To request copies of these books, email Eric directly at pokey (AT) theranch.org.

Take Them With You

You're welcome to listen to these recordings anytime from this website.

But you can also "take them with you" so you can listen when you're not online or give them to your friends when they need encouragement. We've recorded them onto some new "pocket-sized" CD's about the size of a credit card (2-1/2 X 3"). They play in most CD regular players (*see exceptions) but are small enough to fit in a wallet, a pocket or a purse. You can even tuck them into a greeting card!

*EXCEPTIONS: These CD's are designed to be played in any CD or DVD player in which the disk is set directly on a tray or on a center spindle. This CD is NOT, however, designed to be played in "slot-loading" players in which the disk must be inserted like a coin in a slot; doing so may damage the disk or player. Full-size versions of these CD's are available for "slot-loading" players by specifying "full-size" in the comments box below.

To order the pocket CD's, just click Order Here under each CD's and fill out a request form. The suggested donation is $5 for each CD (no extra charge for shipping or handling). You can also order a full-sized CD containing all the selections for a suggested donation of $17. You can read more about our non-profit ministry here.
