Jesus Ascended. What Does That Mean?: Jesus' Final 40-Day Lesson
by Scott Douglas
Part 1 of the Organic Faith series
Discover the Power of the Ascension. Something happened.
Jesus rose. But Christ didn't just rise from the dead. He ascended to Heaven.
We hear the stories about Peter and John and all the heroes of the New Testament, and they're unstoppable Christians-fearless and bold. And sometimes we wrongly assume that they just got that way. That Christ died for their sins, and bam! They're instantly changed! On the contrary, the disciples were actually quite cowardly in their actions after the Resurrection.
It wasn't until after the Ascension that they were on fire for Christ. So, what happened during the forty days? Something happened.
There's more written about Christ's ministry before his death than the events that happened after his Resurrection, but when we look at Ascension, we begin to see that there's power in small details. We begin to see that something happened after the Resurrection-something happened to transform the lives of believers and make them more than followers.
Looking at what happened after the Resurrection, and further at the Ascension of Christ, we start to see what happened to transform the followers-and in seeing this we might just be transformed ourselves.
Something did indeed happen during the forty days. Jesus was not done teaching. This is the first book of the Organic Faith series. Each book in the series is a stand-alone title. The second book, Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born, is also available.

Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born: Unwrapping the Theology Behind Christmas Bethlehem
Organic Faith, #2
by Scott Douglas
Part 2 of the Organic Faith series
★★★ The story of Christmas like you've never heard before ★★★ The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. It's passed through countries, and they've tacked on their little spin. We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairytale. It's an inspiring one for sure. But a fairytale, nonetheless. When you begin to unwrap the many layers of the first Christmas, you begin to see that there's more to Christmas than meets the eye. God is giving us a message-a gift to unwrap. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is. This is the story of Christmas. Christmas: God's gift to us. This book is a stand-alone title of the Organic Faith series.

Lazarus of Bethany
Uncovering the Theology Behind Jesus Raising Lazarus From the Dead
by Scott Douglas
Part 3 of the Organic Faith series
Discover the true miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead. Lazarus is an amazing story. A man rose from the dead! You just don't get any more awesome than that, right! So that's it then. That's what we are supposed to learn from his resurrection, right? Not exactly. Jesus performed lots of miracles. John said it best when he said that there would not be room in the whole world to describe all that he did. It's easy to look at the stories of miracles and see them for what they're worth: miracles. But that's a shame. If the miracle is in the Bible, there's a reason for it. It's not just there because it was miraculous. With Lazarus, a man rose from the dead-an amazing miracle, no doubt. But there's more to it than that. There's a lesson to be learned. Lazarus wasn't just a man raised from the dead-he had a life before and after his resurrection. And Jesus didn't perform the miracle just to be flashy.
