Reviews on Amazon

A must-read for anyone who has questions about the Bible or Christianity

CD

"Holmes wrote this book so that it could be used in a variety of ways. It can be read as a whole, or it can be used in topical studies, for independent or group study... In case you do not know where you want to go in the book, the introduction has a brief paragraph outlining what is in each chapter. In a tell it like it is way, with car analogies (which anyone can understand), colorful illustrations, and brief doses of humor this book is quite easy to follow and comprehend. This book also has “quick thought” sections, designed to really engage you in what you are reading, and make you think. At the end of the chapters there are chapter evaluations, discussion questions and then a going deeper section where you can make a to-do list of sorts, with personal goals, prayer requests and others. The author also makes mention of a companion website for additional resources!! ... I love this book. It is extremely well thought out and thorough. I have not seen anything else like it. I would recommend this book to new Christians, mature Christians, pastors, Sunday school teachers and anyone else in ministry."

Practical, Inspiring, Informative yet Easy to Understand - A GREAT RESOURCE for all ages

NGonz

"I can suggest that a client get ‘plugged into’ a church but I can’t guarantee that every church is biblically based with a solid foundation (as much as I hate to say that)... The TECRM gives a solid and I mean solid foundation for the new believer and the quite experienced believer alike. It’s a book (a work of art) that I can honestly suggest to my clients (or even use for myself) knowing it’s solidly grounded in Scripture. I’m impressed by the author’s ability to tackle topics some may feel uncomfortable about with a gentle firmness, without condemnation, and in a way to give inspiration/hope. Truth is presented unapologetically and still positively in a way Jesus Himself would be proud of... If you feel you are stagnant in your spiritual ‘walk’ OR if you are unsure on what’s the next step then this book is for you."

LIFE-CHANGING book - A MUST READ for ALL Christians!

DD

"As a lifelong Christian, I still found this book to be life-changing and have already gifted it to a couple friends. There are so many false doctrines and beliefs that have infiltrated the modern church but Brian's book provides powerful teachings and biblically-based doctrine to dispel false doctrines and equip believers to fight off the enemy's schemes. Throughout the book, Brian exposes how the enemy exploits these false beliefs to hinder believers' walk with Christ while also grounding the reader in biblical truth regarding their identity, purpose and place in God's kingdom. Each chapter expertly and succinctly guides the reader through biblically-based beliefs and how to live a life truly centered on Christ. I plan to re-read this book each year to stay biblically grounded. If you want to equip new believers for a successful life in Christ and keep your own walk pure, this is the book for you. I can't recommend it enough!"

Ultimate Systematic Theology Course

This single course will give you the most thorough yet important systematic review of the Christian faith and life available. Not covering everything you COULD learn—just what you SHOULD learn!

But it's also very practical..

Is life happening to you or for you?

Don't go another day struggling with fear, doubt or lack of direction! Many spiritual growth and personal growth books are unbiblical or feel-good fluff that quickly fades. But this course combines deep biblical truths with actionable life coaching. Pastor and empowerment coach Brian Holmes invites you to embark on a journey towards a well-rounded faith and a purposeful and incredible life!

Ask Yourself These Questions:

  • What hinders your life?
  • What’s keeping you from Discovering your Calling?
  • What’s keeping you from being totally fulfilled pursuing your Purpose?
  • What’s keeping you from Living Up to Your Potential?
  • Do you struggle with Fear or other Emotions?
  • Do you Struggle with Doubts about what to Believe?
  • Do you Struggle with Confusion about which options are right/best?
  • Do you know Jesus but still feel like your Faith could be stronger? Your life could have more Direction? Your life could have more Focus? You could have more Confidence that you’re doing what God wants you to be doing?


God Will Empower Those Who
Invest In His Will For Their Lives!

These things we’ve looked at: fear, doubts, confusion, lack of knowledge, good fruit or direction – these things are not inevitable. They’re the result of not living according to important biblical truths and letting them guide your steps.

This, is like a powerful, jam-packed 400-page how-to guide for everything you need to know, believe, and do for the Christian life. Then it is supplemented with evaluations and exercises to apply it to your life.

It’s like “Mere Christianity” meets “Purpose-Driven Life” meets deep, biblical theology, Christian apologetics, pastoral discipleship, and actionable life coaching to improve your life, help you grow personally and spiritually, and get on fire for God’s unique mission for you. Get it now and start shifting the direction of your life today!

This landmark work marries biblical Christian doctrine with actionable life coaching. Using cars as a metaphor for individuals, and a long journey as a metaphor for life, pastor, Christian apologist, and empowerment life coach Brian Holmes navigates the journey with you. Packed with creative car metaphors and graphics woven throughout, every vital aspect of Christian belief and living are covered, arranged sequentially and holistically in a memorable and applicable way.


Equal parts theology, apologetics, discipleship training, personal growth, and life direction, you’ll gain a deeper grasp of the Christian pilgrimage and a closer relationship with God along the way. It covers everything from the nature of God and meaning of life to worksheets to determine what you should do today for success tomorrow.


After the Bible, this colorful, insightful, and engaging course will be the next most important discipleship material for you to have and will assist and empower you for a lifetime!

Will Challenge You

Sarah Bates

I've been a Christian for over 20 years and this book challenged me, made me think, and convicted me, in a good way. I feel my Christian walk is being stretched to the next level. I can't believe the amount of information that is packed in this book. It covers a wide range of topics like theology, living righteously, personal goals and development and much more. I really like how it is clear and easy to understand and in small enough segments. You can tell the author really cares about teaching what is Biblical because there are lots of scripture references that tie the teachings back to what the Bible says. Some of the many gems in this book I personally enjoy are the perspective on physical health and illness, and exposing false beliefs in today's Christian churches. I felt most challenged and inspired in the sections on evangelism and discipleship. If you desire to know Biblical truth and seriously serve Jesus then consider getting this book. It's been a blessing to me. Pastor Brian has been very helpful with my deliverance journey. Thank you! God bless this ministry.

Must-read for anyone who has questions about the Bible or Christianity

CD

In a tell it like it is way, with car analogies (which anyone can understand), colorful illustrations, and brief doses of humor... quite easy to follow and comprehend... “quick thought” sections, designed to really engage you... and make you think... chapter evaluations, discussion questions... going deeper section... to-do list... with personal goals, prayer requests... Holmes explains free will, the Trinity of God, how we can bring glory to God, understanding how we have a relationship with God, bad religions, good and bad fruits, the Church, Spiritual gifts... so much great information... I cannot express it as well as I would like. “What do you want” really spoke to me and stomped all over my toes... telling us what we need to hear, in truth, even though we may not want to hear it. I really enjoyed a brief history on how the Bible came to be, the canon and the reliability of it. I cannot pick a favorite... they all have great value, and each would apply to different times and circumstances... extremely well thought out and thorough. I have not seen anything else like it. I would recommend to new Christians, mature Christians, pastors, Sunday school teachers and anyone else in ministry... appropriate even for teenagers... You are going to want to... come back to it again and again.

Practical, Inspiring, Informative yet Easy to Understand - A GREAT RESOURCE for all ages

Noe Gonzalez, Biblical Advocate & Walk with Yah deliverance minister

This a work of art... versatile invaluable resource. I often get asked... how is the client being guided in the right direction... I can suggest... get ‘plugged into’ a church but I can’t guarantee that every church is biblically based with a solid foundation (as much as I hate to say that). And then there are those that won’t/can’t go to a church for whatever reason (e.g. too far, etc.) TECRM will work with various people’s circumstances as it’s very flexible. TECRM gives a solid and I mean solid foundation for the new believer and the quite experienced believer alike. I’m impressed by the author’s ability to tackle topics some may feel uncomfortable about with a gentle firmness, without condemnation, and in a way to give inspiration/hope. Truth is presented unapologetically and still positively in a way Yeshua/Jesus Himself would be proud of. Even though this resource is very ambitious in all of the topics that it covers, it does it well... without the reader getting mental exhaustion or feeling like they need a college degree to understand... whether you are familiar with the Bible or even if you’re not, this has the information you need. It shows you the many paths that lead to help you become more like Yeshua/Jesus and overcome the challenges that you face in a way that makes sense. I strongly suggest that you partner with MPowered Christian Ministry and/or get this resource for yourself, your friends, your church, your study group or even for your family... If you feel you are stagnant in your spiritual ‘walk’ OR if you are unsure on what’s the next step then this.. is for you.
