20/20 Book Three: 20 More Convictions In 20 Days – Dr. Tim Kernan
Greetings SoldOut Movement Family!
It is with great anticipation and excitement that we announce the release of Dr. Tim Kernan’s most recent book: 20/20 Book Three: 20 More Convictions In 20 Days For Everyone Who Wants To Get Stronger And Be Empowered.
Dr. Kernan starts off Book Three with a bang:
“Afflicted in every way….” (2 Corinthians 4:8-12 English Standard Version) Not exactly the first thing one thinks of when considering the life of a Christian. Yet God is the master of strengthening us and maturing us. He wants to make us more capable and make us more like Christ through difficulty. Indeed, there is no other way to do it. Think about that for a second: There is no other way to do it!
As you can see, this book is a power-packed toolkit for personal transformation! The more you read, the more the truth of God’s Word will strengthen you. Tim’s scriptural insights and vivid analogies energize your walk with God and motivate godly decisions empowered by prompted prayers to overcome specific battles.
Tim is a master at spiritual hand-to-hand combat, and this book will train you to win the battle of the mind that Satan wages against every one of us! I appreciate Tim’s candor, as part way through the book, he helped me identify a struggle I didn’t even realize I HAD – not to mention that I was not winning in my spiritual perspective as a Christian husband – and that led to a monumental decision in my life to ”not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of [my] mind.” (Romans 12:2 ESV) If you want to be transformed, you have to read this book! There is no other way to do it!
Lastly, the logical way Dr. Kernan presented the 10 struggles we can surely overcome by God’s empowerment in Part 1, and the 10 areas in which we can truly be strengthened by God’s Word in Part 2 will help to sharpen, heal, and open all of our EYES so we can attain and maintain spiritual 20/20 vision!
Happy reading, family!

The Only Thing That Counts – Dr. Raul Moreno
To Our Dear Brothers and Sisters Around the World!
The SOPI Team is excited to announce that Dr. Raul Moreno’s newest book is now available for purchase at Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats!
Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted. ~Albert Einstein
Even Einstein, the famous scientist, pondered what really counts in this life. After all, what really matters in this short life that God has given us on this earth? Throughout the centuries many have ventured to find an answer to this vital question. However, we would be better served if we just looked at God’s words for the answer.
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. ~Galatians5:6
What really counts in this life is to have faith that is guided by love. That is, God’s love. This book is an imperfect attempt to tackle this spiritual quandary from a biblical perspective. May it be a blessing to you, as it was to this unworthy servant. – Dr. Raul Moreno
As we have all come to love and respect and expect, Raul’s humble, conversational writing style breaks down any and all of our concerns and fears about “getting our faith on straight”! As my wife said reading it for the first time this past week: “I can totally hear him talking and preaching to me!” And it is like having an extended Discipling Time with a man worthy of imitation in this most essential of weapons in the fight for true righteousness in this world! The Only Thing That Counts will inspire new disciples, refresh older disciples, and help us find those longing to BECOME disciples!
I believe this book will challenge the most faithful among us to understand God’s sovereignty in deeper ways; trusting that God can use all things good and bad for our ultimate good is a major theme throughout Dr. Moreno’s teaching. Personally, I plan on sharing the chapter on “Having The Faith To Break Up” this week with a dear brother (now that it’s published!), and I know it will be the foundation of a life-changing Dtime he has been praying for!
Let us know what you think about these and any other SOPI books by going to our new website (Thank God for Jeremy Ciaramella and his web team!) and clicking on any of the SOPI titles and leaving a review on Amazon!

The House to House Effect: Reviving Christian Households In This Generation – Dr. John A Causey III
“The Christian household is not just a place to eat, sleep, and watch TV, but a place to worship, serve, and grow together as disciples of Jesus Christ. It’s not just a private refuge from the world, but a public witness to the world. It’s not just a family unit, but a mission outpost.” – Dr. John A Causey III
Our world needs a refuge – safe from all the pressures of comparison, political polarization, pushiness of technology, and personal identity and confidence issues that can steal the joy and power from even the strongest amongst us. True Christians know that this kind of protection can only be fully provided in God’s Kingdom, but how to hold firmly to such a powerful hope is oftentimes elusive. Thankfully, Dr. John Causey has written a book highlighting God’s ancient way for us to build this exact refuge! The House To House Effect takes the reader on a joyous journey through God’s Word from the Old to the New Testament and up through the present day, revealing the majesty and miracle of the godly household. Causey also shares many practical stories from his own life and the ministries that he and his lovely wife Emma have built for over 40 years that inspire the reader that it is quite possible to live out that old hymn “I’m Building Me a Home”!
The Hebrew writer knew that not only was God not far from each disciple but that He also built His house on the foundation of Jesus Christ and wanted this truth to be lived out and passed along from home to home:
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. (Hebrews 3:1-6)
Dr. Causey quotes this amazing passage in the second chapter: “Jesus is the leader of God’s Household, and we live by the standard and hope He has set! He modeled the ‘household way’ by developing and maintaining the spiritual family.” This book is the quintessential blueprint of Jesus’ ministry that will focus and equip the leaders of the church at every level on the essentials of how to live out the gospel in this spiritual, household way. I personally believe this book will have a profound spiritual impact on disciples young and old and will help people appreciate God’s household; this gratitude will have a fortifying impact on all disciples who “go home” not just to take a break with their physical families during the holidays, but now much more powerfully to bring the light of the gospel into their households! What a gift God has given us in His grace and in the Causeys’ spiritual leadership; and now, by reading this book during these critical times, let each of us be inspired to say, “and His grace to me was not without [a house to house] effect!” (1 Corinthians 15:10)
Happy reading, family!
