Selections from the Ahavah Writings

By M. J. Elliott

God has taken my life and made it something truly wonderful. Growing up I went through so many things I shouldn't have gone through but every step of the way God was with me. I was blessed beyond what I could ever imagine, not in the way you would guess, but in the way of experiences that I have been able to use to reach others.
'Ahavah' Writings for the Journey is the result of those experiences in my life as well as in the Family God has blessed me with. The purpose in sharing these writings with you is simply meant to be a bit of encouragement to all those that read it and to remind us all that our 'Ahavah' (Love) Journey with Christ is indeed a continuous journey.
God’s promises are so wonderful and they are always anew. As believers God promises us that he will be faithful to us, all we have to do is trust in Him for guidance. It is my hope that this book will help you, the reader, do so.

His hope for all his books is that it will encourage those who read it in a way that help them see what is often overlooked in the world around them. Just as he desires with God will do with their Ministry Website... Love the Saints Ministries... he desires God will speak to and encourage all who read its content.Writing is both a passion and a hobby for Matt and he is very excited to see what God will do with this book and has really enjoyed putting it together.
