Spiritual Journey Press introduces
Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover
“Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
Jesus Christ is the central
figure of Christianity. The Gospels chronicle Jesus’ journey and contain a
pattern that can help us understand the true meaning of his life. But before
Jesus lived, a mysterious and multi-faceted Messianic thread wove itself through
the pages of the Hebrew Scriptures. How did Jesus respond to this Jewish hope?
Following Jesus’ resurrection, the first generation of Christians grappled with
the often challenging implications of his Messianic journey and message.
Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover
traces the Messianic theme of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation.
Informed by both Dr. Spitzer's Jewish heritage and unique
Endless Possibilities perspective on spirituality,
Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover
challenges the reader to encounter Jesus in a
new way. Pastors - you can even download Powerpoint presentations to aid
in your teaching of the book. For more information, click here!

The Spiritual
Journeys of Children in the Old and New
Testaments
Joseph, Samuel, David, Mary, John the
Baptist and Jesus are towering figures in the Biblical world, and the
Biblical chroniclers of their childhood journeys consider their pre-adult
experiences to be significant and instructive for future generations.
Religious Experiences in Lives of Contemporary Youth
In reaction to the challenges posed by a twenty-first
century postmodern cultural context, religious communities are grappling with
how to provide effective spiritual education for youth. The goal of these
activities is to provide a firm foundation of childhood spiritual experience so
that youth may subsequently take their place as committed adult members of the
religious community.
Religious Development in
Baptist Youth
Although a non-creedal and individualistic people, Baptists have
nevertheless upheld certain defining values, including separation of church and
state (religious liberty), soul freedom (the right and obligation of the
individual to express his/her own understanding of the Christian life), the
autonomy or self-governance of the local church, a commitment to live according
to the standards of the New Testament, regenerate church membership (only those
who can testify to a personal saving experience may join the church as a
member), and believer’s baptism by immersion. These defining features have
influenced how Baptists have sought to promote the spiritual formation and
development of children under their care.
Reflections on Raising an Autistic Child
for Parents, Teachers and Friends
By Dr.
Lois N. Spitzer
You have just been told your child is autistic.
Who can you turn to? Who can give you advice?
Lois Spitzer began to suspect that her son, Joshua, was autistic around the
time he was two years old. This life changing discovery cast her on a journey
in which fears, hopes, joys and sorrows became daily companions. Having a
child with autism is not the end of the world. It is the start of a journey
replete with surprises and incredible delights.
In this collection of reflections, you’ll learn how one family helped
their special son grow and overcome challenges by enlisting a bevy of friends,
teachers and other very special people and organizations.
