 Unveiling God's Love is profound yet an easy-to-read collection of articles that help to reveal God’s love and character through spiritual and biblical principles. These laws operate in our lives as reliably as do the physical laws of the universe. Our response to them enables us to bind (i.e., thwart) or release ourselves to the power in God’s love. Thelma Jane discusses a wide range of topics, related to the Bible and spirituality. The articles cover subjects such as the nature and purpose of visionary experience, the biblical origins of evil, the soul’s destiny and reincarnation, prayer, and the goodness of God.

Many fascinating stories, drawn from everyday life, illustrate key religious ideas. These are down-to-earth, fun to read, and profound. At the same time, Thelma Jane offers in-depth theological discussions, adding her own original twist to classical themes. The book will be of interest to both Christians and spiritual researchers of all kinds. The reader will come away with an uplifting curiosity and a deeper awareness of God. Thelma Jane does not have a degree in theology but offers her spiritual wisdom gained during a lifetime of serving God and following His Word.  Christian Author Thelma Jane

Down by the Riverside: A Story of God’s Grace Working in the Country of Portugal is the story of a family that said, “Yes,” to Jesus and took giant leaps of faith to begin to plant Riverside Church. Pastor and Dr. Eddie Fernandes (D.MIN.) is the Senior Pastor of Riverside Church in Portugal. His wife, Marta, along with their daughters, (and extended family) now enjoy the fruit of the many years of hard labor that Eddie and Marta began over thirty years ago. For this entire family, church-planting and being part of Christ’s community of believers has been an amazing adventure of faith. While this is a history book of the events that happened and the cost, rewards, and joy of planting Riverside Church, it is a book also dedicated to the recalling of past events and how God saw fit to use one family to build a beautiful community of believers that spread throughout the world; yet, this is not a book about people. It actually is a book about God. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end. Everything revolves around Him. Just as He was the architect of the first sanctuary, the Tabernacle, He was also the mastermind behind both the Temple and later the Church. This is His Story, and how He worked in the Country of Portugal. This is a glance at the amazing grace of God, and the inner-workings of churches, church-plants, and how often the Enemy can work among the brethren. Yet, God is ever faithful. Pastor Eddie Fernandes’ sincere hope is that readers would find much wisdom and faith to continue and persevere and solace in God, shedding light into His ways of maturing and refining individuals to serve Him. He is the Master Potter. To Pastor Eddie’s family, and extended family at Riverside, this is a treasure and the legacy he leaves to all of his family, other ministry members and fellow servants, and speaks to the heart of those that have carried the high cost of His calling, carrying their own cross, to serve the Only One worthy of our praise, Jesus Christ - The Chief Cornerstone and the Light of the World. - Pastor Eddie J. Fernandes

This book is the author’s attempt to help fellow Christians understand the truth of those words and hopefully reconnect with their Jewish roots. Christians owe so much to the Jewish people. However, Dr. Fernandes’ observance as he travels in ministry around the world, is that many in the Church are not only ignorant of this debt, but a growing number are becoming increasingly hostile towards Israel and the Jews. Biblical illiteracy causes many to be deceived by the darkness that enshrouds the secular world thereby turning their backs on Israel and her people. It is the author’s hope that this book will cause many to rethink, and hopefully, if they care not for the Jewish people, to experience a paradigm shift. 

The truth is the entire revelation, from Genesis to the final Book of the Apocalypse, comes to us thanks to the Jews. Every book of the Bible was penned by a Jewish author. The Patriarchs, Judges, Prophets and Kings so enthusiastically preached about in pulpits everywhere were Jews. The twelve leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles of the New Testament Church were also Jews. The very first followers of Jesus were all Jews. Jesus was a Jew and that in itself should be cause for serious reflection. A holy Church cannot turn against the people God sovereignly called and chose as His own. A house cannot stand without solid foundations. The Church will not thrive as long as believers in Yeshua continue to reject their Jewish Messiah. Pastor Eddie J. Fernandes

In a world where few Christian leaders walk in integrity and go the full distance in ministry, it is imperative to discover why so many fail while others succeed going on to complete the race. Eddie Fernandes continues to lead as a senior pastor for over three decades despite enormous challenges and opposition. He defends that all believers should blossom into leaders as they grow and develop spiritually. Sadly, a significant number of believers implode at a vital stage of spiritual development that he identifies as “conflict”.

This book provides an understanding of the seven spiritual developmental stages to help transformational leaders start and finish well: chaos, confusion, community, conformity, conflict, crossroads and Christ-likeness. In the final stage Eddie unpacks characteristics every Christian leader should strive to embrace. Readers will be surprised, refreshed and challenged by his insights and his own faith journey. He is a leader that has survived, and by God’s grace continues to thrive, despite many seasons of conflict, both from within and from without the Church. Pastor Eddie J. Fernandes

Adam's fall from grace is a tragic event in human history that serves as a stark reminder of our inherent frailty. This fatal blunder destroyed our once-pure nature, plunging humanity into total depravity. Today, the resulting iniquity, disobedience, revolt, and injustice harm the very foundation of human morality, reinventing the entire human nature. As a result, Adam's offspring are born into a world in which genuine righteousness and justice are elusive, and separating truth from deception, right from wrong, and godliness from ungodliness is a constant struggle. Nonetheless, God's compassion and grace serve as a beacon of hope for lost humanity, promising to restore peace between humanity and God, the true wellspring of righteousness and justice.

Far beyond the confines of hopelessness, God's boundless compassion and grace began the plan for humanity's redemption in Jesus Christ. Considering this depravity, Jesus announced that the Kingdom of God had arrived, and those who believe in Him must turn to walk with Him on the narrow road of righteousness and justice in submissive faith, carrying their crosses daily.

Following the Lord is choice, necessitating a genuine sense of God's holiness and moral superiority, which encompasses two types of righteousness: positional and virtuous. While the former is attained through faith in Christ's sacrificial death rather than through works or merit, the latter is attained through consistent cultivation of self-discipline and self-control, alignment with God's justice and moral standards, with a renewed desire to live for Christ. Claiming to be a new creature in Christ without openly displaying behavioral, or virtuous uprightness, alongside holy living, is a silly theological farce woven with strings of disobedience, rebellion, and rejection of truth, showcased via the dishonest way of hypocrisy.
