The Heart of the Matter
What is Truth?
This book is dedicated to the Ladies Bible Study group from Tweedsmuir Presbyterian Church in Orangeville, where together we explored the Gospel of John and is available through Amazon and Kindle. The Lord Jesus prayed for His disciples down through the ages: “Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth” (John 17:17), demonstrating His reliance on the words of scripture. Since He also claimed to be “The Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6) our response to His sacrifice for sin, yours and mine, determine if we are children of God. “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, to them He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12)..Particularly relevant to the day in which we live is Jesus’ desire for us “to have Life and to have it to the full ( John 10:10 NIV; KJV uses the word “abundantly” to describe the life we may have through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ). Particularly comforting is Jesus’ claim “I am the Good Shepherd” (John 10:11). He goes on to assure His disciples then and now “I give them [My sheep] eternal Life and they shall never perish” (John 10:28). These truths go straight to the heart of the matter, even for us living in the twenty-first century. It is my prayer that this short summary of our studies will create a further desire for in-depth Bible study.
Marilyn's Mediations
Devotions for 365 Days of the Year
The Westminster Catechism tells us “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever”. This has been Marilyn’s life-long passion! Her own faith journey, filled with both disappointment and pain, adventure and joy, has informed her experiences as a mother, grandmother, counselor and friend.
As a counselor she has listened to many stories of fear and helplessness, even hopelessness and despair; as a Bible teacher, she has thrilled to see the truths of scripture come alive in hearts that surrendered those feelings to God!
This book is an accumulation of God-thoughts, compiled from her morning devotions. For those who already have a relationship with Jesus Christ, Creator, Messiah, Savior, these meditations will enhance their walk with God. For those who are suffering from pain and sorrow, stress and anxiety, it is Marilyn’s hope that God will speak comfort and lift the spirits of those who need to know a solution can be found in Him.
Feed My Sheep
Life Skills Training
What does it mean to Feed My Sheep? Jesus left His disciples a mandate to Feed My Sheep, analogous with the Great Commission. Our relationship with God, our understanding of human nature and our worldview all influence how we approach this task. Explore with Marilyn: • What it means to know yourself • How to understand the nature of change • Knowing God and His Holy Word • Learning principles to live by • Relationships, feelings, communication and forgiveness • How to be an effective counselor This book will help you to build relationships on Biblical principles and to pass on to others what a thrilling adventure life can be when we follow in the steps of our Good Shepherd. The lifelong desire to be a missionary nurse grew into a dream come true when Marilyn found herself coordinating teams of medical missionaries who worked in many developing countries. Using her seminary training and experience in counseling, God opened doors to train pastors, lay leaders, doctors and nurses in Biblical counseling, specializing in healing of relationships for abused women. True to her calling, Marilyn still seeks to share the good news of the gospel to bind up the brokenhearted, in hope that in a world of pain and poverty people might find comfort in Jesus Christ.
I am the Women's Ministry leader at the Deliverance Baptist Church in Dominica. A few weeks ago a Missionary Team from Canada visited our island and brought some good word to our people, really thankful for that and was truly blessed with the sound word.
I was given a book for the Women's Ministry 'Feed My Sheep' written by you. Thank you very much for this gift, I have started reading and found the book to be very insightful. When I am done I will be passing it along to other members for reading.
Thank you once again and may God bless you.
“I have seen Marilyn's passion to help others in their walk with God during our mission trips to Kenya and Zambia. And coupled with her passion is her precision in using God's Word to minister to those in need. Both aspects will definitely bleed through the fabric of this book.”
I have known Marilyn Daniels for over a decade. She has been a considered colleague and a faithful friend. She has devoted most of that time to a charitable organization committed to the theological advancement and education of those living in Africa, South America and Caribbean.
As a registered nurse, Marilyn continues to be actively involved in many medical mission trips to assist with improving basic medical necessities and educating health care workers, mothers and women. She also uses the opportunity to bear witness of the Gospel to everyone she meets during these trips.
Marilyn recently retired from her administrative role in the office which she tackled with pride and commitment. She now pursues a writing endeavour with the same dedication and passion she brought towards her counseling clients. She extends grace, love and compassion to everyone God put in her path. Even through the most trying of times, Marilyn has never failed to put her faith in God first.
Her love of God is apparent in how she carries out her daily life. She is God’s witness to her family, friends and strangers alike. And now, she is ready to share the lessons she has learned and the faithful way God has provided throughout her life. I know you will enjoy her first book and look forward to many more in the future.
"I have known Marilyn Daniels for almost 50 years. We went to the same church, worked together in the youth program and her children and mine grew up together as cousins. We worked together as board members for Mission for Advancing Theological Education. So I have seen Marilyn in many contexts for many years.
She has always demonstrated a godly character and a passion for her personal relationship with the Lord. She consistently shows a desire to make her faith known to others especially in other countries and this has led her to do missionary work in both South America and Africa.
Marilyn writes from her heart, from a rich life of experiences walking with the Lord, and with her Bible open to guide her teaching. Her many years of walking with the Lord through challenging circumstances in life have given her a gentleness of expression and a heart that is full of love for others.
I highly commend her as an author whose concern is to honor the Lord in all of her life and to guide others into a closer and more intimate relationship with the Lord. May her book be a blessing to people everywhere.
