Handling Life’s Temptations is a Christian devotional work by Ron Christian focused on recognizing, resisting, and overcoming temptation through faith, Scripture, prayer, humility, and dependence on Christ. The book maintains that temptation is not itself sin, but that believers must identify its source, understand the nature of sin, and use the spiritual weapons God provides. Ron Christian presents temptation as a recurring battle involving outward actions, inward attitudes, and the hidden motives of the heart. The devotional readings address common spiritual struggles such as fear, worry, destructive anger, resentment, doubt, despair, lust, jealousy, judgmentalism, envy, negativity, pride, false guilt, and an overly sensitive conscience. Throughout the book, Ron Christian contends that victory comes not through self-reliance or willpower alone, but through surrender to Christ, trust in God’s promises, obedience to the Word of God, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Its central message is that Christians can grow stronger through life’s tests when they meet temptation with humility, spiritual vigilance, forgiveness, confidence in God, and a Christ-centered mind.

Overcoming Obstacles to Christian Growth is a devotional booklet in the Growing a Godly Life series that focuses on attitudes, habits, and emotional patterns that hinder spiritual maturity. Ron Christian maintains that while Christ receives and transforms sinners by grace, believers must still confront lingering obstacles such as prejudice, resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, discouragement, worry, misplaced confidence, spiritual inadequacy, and dependence on feelings rather than faith. The booklet proposes that Christian growth requires both honest self-examination and active dependence on God’s grace, Word, Spirit, and forgiveness. Through biblical reflections, personal illustrations, prayers, affirmations, and discussion questions, Ron Christian calls readers to replace harmful attitudes with humility, love, reconciliation, courage, contentment, and steady faith. Its central message is that obstacles to Christian growth are not overcome by self-effort alone, but through repentance, renewed thinking, obedience, forgiveness, and daily trust in Christ’s transforming power.

Let My Tears Flow is a Christian devotional book about sorrow, grief, repentance, suffering, and the comfort God gives in the middle of life’s painful experiences. Ron Christian reflects on personal and family stories, including the care of his elderly mother, the losses experienced by loved ones, depression, loneliness, death, illness, accidents, and other deep sorrows. The book emphasizes that tears are not a sign of weak faith; rather, they can be part of honest Christian living when brought before God in trust. Christian presents Jesus as the compassionate Savior who understands human heartbreak, weeps with those who suffer, calls sinners to repentance, and offers grace, forgiveness, healing, and eternal hope. Throughout the book, suffering is treated as real and painful, but not meaningless, because God is portrayed as the great Comforter and Compensator who can bring good, growth, and final restoration even from life’s darkest experiences.
