How Much More? Do you believe God is good? Most Christians would quickly answer, "Of course!"But if that is true, why do so many believers hesitate to ask Him for anything? Why do we wonder if He is willing to bless us? Why do we fear that He is holding good things back? In How Much More?, author Alice Masci takes listeners on a Scripture-filled journey into the heart of our Heavenly Father. Through the words of Jesus, the promises of God's Word, and examples from the lives of Abraham, Sarah, David, and others, you'll discover that God is not a reluctant Father —you are His beloved child.

Thy Kingdom Come invites you to discover the Kingdom of God the way Jesus taught it—not as a distant dream, but as a present reality for every believer. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, "Thy kingdom come," what did He mean? Was He speaking only of Heaven, or is the Kingdom something we can experience today?

What if everything you've been striving for…has already been done? Many believers live with a quiet pressure. Trying to be better. Do better. Fix what's broken. Hoping that if they get everything right… they'll finally feel accepted, secure, and at peace. But what if that's not the life God intended?

Have you ever wondered if you'll ever feel joy again? Perhaps you're facing a health crisis, financial struggles, grief, loneliness, anxiety, or simply the exhaustion that comes from carrying life's burdens for too long. Maybe you've prayed, waited, hoped, and wondered when things will finally get better. If so, this book is for you.
