If It Weren't for the Love of God
Endorsement
If It Weren’t For the Love of God is a book that speaks straight to the heart—especially for those new to faith or who feel like they’ve drifted too far from God to find their way back.
It’s not full of religious jargon or complicated theology. Instead, it’s honest, transparent, and deeply personal. Author Alexys V. Wolf shares real struggles—moments of doubt, failure, and feeling lost—but always brings it back to one powerful truth: God’s love never gives up on us.
Whether you’re just beginning your walk with Christ or trying to find your way home again, this book reminds you that you don’t have to have it all together. God’s love is not earned—it’s given. Freely. Patiently. Unconditionally.
If It Weren’t For the Love of God is like a beacon of light in the darkness for anyone who wonders if God still cares. The answer in these pages is a resounding “Yes!” If it weren’t for the love of God, none of us would make it—but because of His love, there’s always a way forward.
My favorite quote is in chapter eight, where she says, “Sin separates us from His blessings and presence, which is different from being separated from His love.” That clarifies a lot! I, as well as many I know, have wondered if one of my sins was just too much for God to forgive and if He would still love me after doing such a thing. So, this stood out to me personally.
This book is perfect for those who need a fresh start or a gentle reminder of who God is!

What is the Lord's Joy??
Endorsement
While I am always excited to read a book written by Alexys, this one seemed to contain a different excitement. From the moment I saw it was available to receiving it in the mail, I felt like this book would bring great insight into my life.
Upon receiving the book, I read the first couple of chapters, laid it aside, and was then busy the next day. However, in the early morning hours, the Lord awakened me and led me to open this God-inspired book, and I began reading. "Read" is maybe what one would call it, but I would say "devour." After reading for a bit, I stopped to grab a highlighter and reread what I had previously covered, and the highlighting began. I couldn't stop until I finished the book; my highlighter is now empty!
Alexys has, once again, taken me deeper into God's Word and God Himself. "What is the Lord's Joy?" is a must-read for every believer. How many of us are struggling with truly living in the joy of the Lord? This insightful book helps us understand what we must do to live in His full JOY! ~ Pastor Darin Godby
Happiness and joy are not the same. Happiness is natural, and joy is supernatural. The former is based on emotions, the latter on who God is. Learning the difference will change our perspective on life in Christ. I liken happiness and joy to a deep well. The well represents God as our keeper and protector. The water represents God’s holy people. At the well’s top [man’s fleshly, carnal nature], we experience fluctuating happiness based on the weather. The torrents of life and the shining sun happen to the water’s exposed top without consent. When the sun shines, we are happy, even elated and excited. When the rain, hail, sleet, or wind pound away, making waves, big and small, we are unhappy and uncomfortable, and our overall countenance drops to subzero. Adversely, at the well’s deepest depth, the water is untouched by any outside weather, good or bad. The seasons have no bearing on it because it is deep enough to be shielded from the fluctuations of seasonal pressures.
Not the Lesser Third
Endorsements
I am completely blown away by the revelatory insight in Not the Lesser Third! I have been a born-again believer many decades and did not realize most of the knowledge this book contains. I have already read it several times and will read it again since there is so much to take in. If you have ever wondered about the Trinity and how the three parts work together, this is the book for you! ~ Pamela Scholtes, The Fiery Sword Publications Editor
Have you ever wondered how the three-in-one God works with Himself in mankind? In what capacity does each person of the Godhead function? The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work in tandem from Genesis to Revelation, as they cannot be separated. If God the Father said something in the Old Testament, though Jesus may not have addressed that subject, since the Father said it, the Son and Spirit are in eternal agreement. One cannot rightly say, “Jesus never mentioned thus and such, even though the Father did, so it is invalid current day.” Likewise, Holy Spirit will never lead God’s people contrary to the Father and Son’s direction. In my latest book, “Not the Lesser Third,” I explain various ways they work together.
Choices
Endorsements
Of all Alexys Wolf's forty-three books, “Choices”is my new favorite! I have read and love every single one, but “Choices” has a special anointing for such a time as this. Since life has become so muddied with myriad circumstances, causing divisions, frustrations, aggravations, anger, malice, wrath, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, helplessness, shame, condemnation, guilt, and more of the like, sometimes it strongly feels we have no choice in matters. Author Wolf penned this straight from God's heart to His people to assist in navigating life and our present choices. I especially loved the part about the difference between "acting" and "becoming" like Christ in the Earth. Like many others, I have caught myself "acting" like Christ, feeling I couldn't be honest about a God aspect I may have been missing. Now I understand that life is a constant becoming, and I do not need to pretend I am something I am not yet in Jesus. We all have shortcomings and need to stop pretending we do not. When acting, we merely veil our shortcomings, pretending to be something we are not. In becoming, we stop trying to mimic what we assume God wants us to be and surrender to the point that we actually allow Christ to be Himself through us. That is a powerful concept. Learning to die to self is the book's crux: God's message to His people. “Choices: Recognizing Our Choices and Learning to Choose Wisely” is a profound masterpiece sent from God through Alexys. It is a must-read for all Christ followers. ~ Pamela Scholtes, editor for The Fiery Sword Publications
"CHOICES" by Alexys V. Wolf is a profound and inspiring journey through the crossroads of faith and decision-making. With a heart grounded in Christ’s principles, this book beautifully illustrates the power and significance of the choices we make daily. Each chapter is a testament to God's unwavering guidance and the incredible transformations that occur when we align our decisions with the Holy Spirit. Author Wolf’s insightful reflections and relatable anecdotes provide a comforting and enlightening path for readers seeking to navigate life’s complexities through a spiritual lens. "CHOICES" not only encourages but empowers believers to trust in God’s plan and embrace the divine purpose woven into every moment. Whether you are at a pivotal moment in your life or simply looking to deepen your relationship with Christ, "CHOICES" is an invaluable companion. It’s a beacon of hope, a wellspring of wisdom, and a reminder that with faith, every choice can lead us closer to the fullness of God's grace and love. ~ Helen T. Melcher, Poet
As a teacher, any book that makes one think is a good book. Choices makes one think about the choices we have in life. Alexys Wolf provides a list of those many options we encounter daily that can and do drastically influence our lives. When we find ourselves going in the wrong direction, the most frequently used excuse is, “I had no choice.” Well, there is always a choice. Unfortunately, sometimes both choices may not be palatable or pleasant. Nevertheless, we have a choice. Because life is full of “no-win” situations, this book becomes a guide to sorting through the choices. God’s way is always the right choice. However, making the right choice can be difficult. There are situations where either way is unpleasant. My mother called those decisions having to choose the lesser of the two evils. Should a Christian ever select a way that is “the lesser evil.” Are there such situations in your life? How can a follower of Christ make the right decision and walk without wavering? Author Wolf explains that it’s really very simple. Choose God’s way. ~ Doris L. Hawkins, Ph.D.
Brotherly Love: A Kingdom Call
Overview
This book was written on the cusp of mass shootings around the USA and racial and political tensions ensuing all around the globe. As a result, there are growing divisions within the Body of Christ. Since the election of the 45th president, Donald Trump, people have become splintered even among families and life-long friendships. Disunity seems to be mounting with every passing day. Neighbors won’t speak to neighbors; neighbors are shooting each other in the streets, cars, churches, hospitals, schools, and every conceivable scenario.
Suppose the Church will not discover, accept, and apply brotherly love. How can the world ever discover its beauty and value? How can the lost ever be found if those who have been found still act as though they are lost? It is time for the Church to unite as one, lay aside petty oppositions, and become one as Christ intended. This book will be simple as we go through various topics concerning love and how we must strive to return to love as in the early Church.
The Day of Offense
Endorsement
Meeting Author Alexys V. Wolf in October 2019 became a catalyst of adventure and new God appointments in my own faith journey. I am unsure if either of us was ready for the sharpening the Holy Spirit would do in each of us due to our timely acquaintance. I am still in awe of her ability to write a book with incredible speed. Yet, she does it with such efficiency and accuracy. I have written several books—primarily due to Author Wolf’s prodding. Still, it does not seem to come as easily as it appears to happen for Alexys. She is truly gifted as a writer. This is due to her years before the Lord and in His Word. Her knowledge comes from years of personal experiences and her reliance upon the Holy Spirit to transform her life.
Her new literary accomplishment, “The Day of Offence,” is yet another avenue for the body of Christ or anyone interested in doing life better to find truth in how to walk in freedom. Author Wolf gives profound insight into how offense, also known as resentment, can stunt anyone’s spiritual growth. Those who do not profess Christ as Lord also find themselves stumbling through life being offended. The Day of Offense is a read that can bring anyone to a place of understanding their need to implement forgiveness into everyday life.
The Day of Offense: Walking the Path of Freedom is a treasure trove for spotting and learning how to eradicate the poison of being offended. Minister Wolf walks us through the destructive forces of holding on to offense and unforgiveness, which will eventually turn into bitterness if left unattended. She gives wisdom and instruction on how to find freedom from the entanglements offenses bring into our relationships.
My personal relationship with Author Wolf gives me a front-row seat in knowing her heart. Her desire is to bring an awareness of our deep need to develop a Christ-like character amid this chaotic world. Being a deliverance and inner healing minister myself, I can attest that most of our soul wounds and life’s stumbling blocks are bound to us through offense and unforgiveness. Get this book for yourself and give one to someone else. It will be a gift of life for anyone who would dare admit that we all need to let some things go and find inner healing. This is a must-read! ~ Author and Minister Sandy Renner of Sandy Renner Ministries
Praise!
Endorsements
Reading Author Wolf's book Praise! Learning to Praise the Lord in Every Circumstance has brought me to a place of gratitude. When she asked me if I wanted to read her short book and write a review, I would have never imagined the encouragement it would produce in me. As I read, it was like every word was from the mouth of God Himself, ministering to my own situation. Praise reveals the love that God has for us and is a testimony to the truth that sheds light on the lie Satan tells and his strategies against God's children. When you read Praise!, it will draw you into the very presence of God. ~ Tierra Brown
By the time I made it through chapter seven of Praise, all my toes were hurting from being stepped on. And you know what? I am grateful for it! Too often, in this day and age, people are afraid to speak hard truths that can potentially change lives, but not this book! Praise by Alexys V. Wolf does not hold back as the reader is forced to face the good and sometimes hard truth about the necessity of praise in the life of a believer. In twenty-one short but powerful chapters, Wolf calls every last one of us Bible-toting, verse-quoting Christians to a place of transparency and accountability. This book is a holy reality check that forces the reader to face the truth about how the absence of praising God looks while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of living as if we believe who God says He is and that He has the power to do what He says He will do. Praise is a refreshing and much-needed wake-up call for those who may have become complacent in their faith. It challenges readers to examine their lives and how they express their faith, encouraging them to live authentically and praise God in every aspect of their lives. Wolf’s writing is engaging and thought-provoking. She tackles deep and profound topics with clarity and passion, making it easy for readers to connect with the message she conveys. Praise is a book that challenges its readers and provides them with the tools and motivation to live a life that is truly reflective of their faith. If you’re looking for a book that will shake up your perspective and inspire you to live a more authentic and praise-filled life, Praise is a must-read! Wolf’s unapologetic approach and powerful message make this book a valuable addition to any believer’s library. After all, who doesn’t love a little tough love disguised as a good read? ~ Author and Poet Vicki Thomas
Suffering
Endorsements
Why God allows suffering is a question many Christians ask, especially while experiencing pain and uncertainty in their lives. Meanwhile, the non-believer may ask, “If there is a God, why does he allow suffering especially to good people?” This certainly is a question that has spun through the ages. It has now been tackled by Author and Minister Alexys V. Wolf in a truly masterful book as she methodically and clearly shares her thoughtful and scriptural reasons. Author Wolf helps us understand suffering can be for our good and God’s glory wrapped in much love by the One who sacrificed everything for our ultimate benefit. “Suffering: What’s Its Purpose?” certainly stands out as a treasure of great worth. It is difficult to lay aside until it has been read from cover to cover! This book is a masterpiece and was a blessing to me, which I am passing on to others. ~ Dr. Loreen Itterman, International Missionary with Global Faith Mission, Chattanooga, TN

Allow the teachings within Suffering: What's Its Purpose? to illuminate your path, strengthen your soul, and guide you toward the ever-present love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. ~ Helen Melcher
Having read all forty of Author Wolf’s books, this is my new favorite. It is a must-read for every human being because everyone is or will suffer—this world is full of suffering of every kind. This book details how to suffer without it killing and severely marring us. As the author explains, we all need a new perspective. For too long, the body of Christ has attempted to misuse Scripture to quickly make suffering or obstacles disappear, so we do not have too much anguish. However, the Bible paints a very different picture. Jesus suffered and with a cause. When we suffer, it also has purpose and meaning. Suffering: What’s Its Purpose opened my eyes to a new vantage and I am incredibly grateful. I hope everyone will read this book and heed the author’s words. ~ Pamela Scholtes, editor
Got Questions? Volumes 1 and 2 are available
Introduction
People have innumerable questions about God’s Word, how God functions, why things happen, what we are to do in certain situations, and so much more. This was often my experience growing up, and I was waiting for someone to answer. Sometimes, when questions are posed to clergy, and they do not know the answer, the person is made to feel small and stupid for having asked and left with even more questions. They are often told, “Just trust God,” when they may not know how. Their actual question may be, “How do I trust God.”
This scenario should not be. The Bible is rich and bountiful, with answers to questions anyone can pose. Not all responses will be agreeable to the asker, but they are answers. It is common for people to have no clue how to apply what they’ve been taught. “How do I apply God’s Word to everyday life?” is a phenomenally unanswered question among Christ’s body, as sad as it is to admit. It certainly warrants an answer.
It’s time for God’s people to stop being afraid of questions, both the one asking and the one asked. Questions are my favorite because I will search if I don’t know the answer. This way, both parties can grow in our knowledge of God. I never pretend to know something when I do not, and I never make someone feel “less than” for not knowing everything under the sun. Most of us have heard the expression, “There are no dumb questions.” This is true because even if the questions sound dumb to one person, they are not to the one inquiring. I was once a lost person, though saved from hell, in dire need of answers to my plethora of questions. As a result, I feel other people’s pain in the predicament where I once found myself.
I had been in church my whole life. Still, after a horrible marriage and divorce, I had no idea what to do with myself or my questions, “How do I forgive? How do I forget? How do I heal from the damage done to me? How do I release my hatred and bitterness, rage, and fury? How do I learn to trust again? How do I learn to love again? How, Lord, do I do the things You require since I’m only human?”
These questions and more are addressed in this four-volume series. It began as one book but grew so large I had to split it four ways. I cannot cover every question ever posed nor the full extent of each answer, but it’s a start. People need to know it is OK to ask seemingly trivial questions. Ministers across denominations need to realize it is not shameful to not know an answer. It is never acceptable to belittle someone in their insecurity or lack of knowledge. Many of these topics have been discussed in my other books. Because of that, I will utilize my previous writings in this book since it aims to compile information in one central location. Let us journey through the rough terrain together to benefit from the Word of the Lord.
This book series is not about making people see my perspective but to cause God’s body of believers to think beyond traditional religiosity. Scour the Word. Ponder my thoughts and allow Holy Spirit to help you rightly divide His truth.
Just As I Am
Endorsements
Just as I Am is a thought-provoking book that invites the reader to take a poignant look in the mirror at those things that are hard to relinquish. In this eye-opening guide to understanding sin and God, the author pours out scripture and explanations about who we are and who God is. From the harsh, uncensored self-examination to the stark contrast of God and the realization of what is lacking in our relationship with God, Alexys V. Wolf takes us on a journey and forces us to see the ugliness of sin and the holiness of God. This vast contrast helps the readers to see why God should be feared and how that fear paves the way to loving God more deeply. Excellent read! ~ Doris L. Hawkins, Ph.D.
Alexys V. Wolf is a very gifted teacher and author, having found the truth in the Way of Jesus Christ. So much of what is taught in the Christian world is nebulous, vague, and not always actual Biblical truth. Alexys has been gifted with the Truth of the Word and communicates it clearly, simply, and powerfully. You cannot go wrong in considering what she has to say. "Just As I Am" is a very powerful book, and despite its short length, it packs a powerful punch! I loved how you addressed all the—sadly—common mindsets we often carry around with us so thoughtlessly. We are changed when we come to Christ, but we tend to retain our inner dialogue, and it requires endless diligence to conform to the mind of Christ. I struggle regularly, and I sometimes feel all I do is forgive people and repent of my dark thoughts, over and over, all day long. The entire book is a delightful read! I especially loved that she inserted "submission" into it all because that does not get addressed quite as well in the church as it ought. Author Wolf has done a spectacular job of expressing what it is and how to do it. ~ Greyson Stoehr, Author and Artist
From the moment I started reading, Just As I Am grabbed my attention! This book is absolutely captivating! A lot of what Author Wolf discussed should be common knowledge, but it is not. Her topics are simple, yet things most never think about. I will be reading Just As I Am over and over because there is so much to glean, much like her book Looking for God, which I have read many times over. God’s people need to come out of their comfort zone and into conviction unto righteousness. This book is profoundly inciteful with a nonjudgmental perspective. Mrs. Wolf is clear, concise, and pulls no punches to help God’s people truly walk in the freedom He provided on the cross. When she broke down the fear and awe of the Lord, it blew me away! I had never thought of it the way she described it. The author lends many Scriptures for the reader to quickly see her references. I love that she places the Scriptures within the pages, so the reader doesn’t have to scrounge to look them up since many people don’t know how to easily navigate the Bible. There are too many great things about this book to mention here, but it is a must-read for anyone anywhere! ~ Verdonna Street
No Uh-Ohs in Jesus
Endorsements
When I read the title, I was honestly not sure in which direction this book was going; maybe it would be yet another lengthy cliché about how everything happens for a reason. The Table of Contents piqued my interest and I wanted to see how the work would unfold. Wolf went out of the gate running as she explained how God is in control. It was not what I expected! Her statements were bold and raised many questions for me, but then she backed her claims with textual evidence straight from the Word of God. If this was a persuasive essay or speech, I would have been won over to her side, which is really the Lord’s side. “Most Christians want a nominal amount of Jesus, just enough to get to heaven.” Goodness gracious. That statement stopped me in my tracks, and I let out an audible “whew” as I read it! It’s a sad truth in the lives of many. But this book helps readers understand why we must go deeper. Whether you are new in the faith, a clergy member, or not even a believer at all, this book is for YOU. You’ll be engaged, exhorted, encouraged, and equipped to move forward in your personal walk with Christ! ~ Amber Jones, English teacher and mother
I am seventy-two years old. I have been in church nearly my entire life. Never have I come across such an anointed writer as Author Wolf. I have read every one of her thirty-six books, and each one is full of wisdom, revelation, and easy-to-read exposes on how to apply God’s Word to everyday life. In Alexys’ new book, “No Uh-Ohs in Jesus,” she uncovers things I have always wondered about but never could quite land on an accurate explanation. This little book is packed full of heavenly insight, and every Christ-follower should read it! ~ Pamela Scholtes, The Fiery Sword Publications Editor
How Do I Forgive?
Overview
Whether you grew up in church or not, it is common knowledge that forgiveness is healthy. Even atheists understand this concept. For the Christ-follower, we definitely know we are commanded to forgive our enemies—seventy times seven [490x] or seventy-seven times. Either way, it is a lot of forgiving! Nevertheless, the most devout Christ-followers often struggle with forgiveness beyond the surface.
I grew up in church. Forgiveness was commonly taught. I wanted to forgive, and it came readily to me. However, when my first marriage fell apart, and horrible things were done to me, forgiveness became impossible. Intellectually, I knew to forgive. I wanted to forgive, but it eluded me. No matter how many times I prayed, “Lord, help me forgive him,” it didn’t take. When I finally thought I had succeeded, I ranted about how despicable he was as soon as his name was mentioned. Clearly, my verbal forgiveness statement was inactive.
What was I to do? How could I forgive such heinous acts against me? Obviously, willing myself to forgive him was ineffective. Feeling like I should do it was inconsequential. Thinking it would be the correct action didn’t help me. What Christ-followers often miss is how to function in the supernatural of God. Many remain soulish instead of arising to the spiritual led by God’s Spirit. Man’s soul is comprised of the mind, will, and emotions. The mind consists of our intellect, memories, and imagination. My soul [mind, will, and emotions] was ill-equipped to execute forgiveness for the evil thrust against me, no matter how hard I tried.
One of my staple sayings is, “There is no trying. There is only doing.” We can try until the cows come home, but we will fail unless we allow God’s supernatural forgiveness to flow through us. This little book intends to bring the body of Christ into higher thinking, as commanded, so we will stop trying in our natural condition to do what can only manifest supernaturally through God’s Spirit living within the believer.
A Nation's Achilles Heel
Endorsements
Alexys V. Wolf is not only a superb writer and communicator, but she is also a woman with great insight and discernment. She is unwavering when it comes to staying on biblical track. Alexys, with her many years in ministry and working in the field with many broken, hurt, and victimized individuals, has an understanding of their pain's root cause. She has a passion for seeing people walk in their God-given freedom and come out of the bondage of sexual sin. "A Nation's Achilles Heel" is a practical and biblical-based writing that is a must-read for everyone! It is very well written and easy to understand. The many levels of sexual sin are spelled out very clearly. This will be eye-opening for many, as they may not have seen these choices as sexual sin. ~ Gaye Vause, Co-Director of Life Choices Pregnancy Care Center, Aiken, SC
As The Fiery Sword Publication’s editor, this is one of my all-time favorite books from Alexys—and I have read and loved them all! Achilles is not only biblically sound, but it also reveals sexual immorality’s physical, mental, emotional, and financial aspects affecting the world. I believe pastors need to get this book and use it to help their congregants come out from underneath their blatant or hidden sexual sins. This teaching is rarely taught anymore, and it is killing all involved. Teachers, preachers, pastors, prophets, apostles, and Sunday school teachers desperately need this little book and should not be afraid to share it. It is small but packed full of biblical insight and national statistics. Author Wolf’s insight is prophetic and should not be ignored by anyone called by the name of Jesus. ~ Mary P. Scholtes, editor
"A Nation's Achilles Heel" is a necessary work for the Church and the Nations. We have compromised with sexual sin in ever-increasing measures over the years. We are clearly living with the consequences of these choices. As the director of a pregnancy care center, I see firsthand the price children, women, and men pay for sexual sin. Author Alexys V. Wolf gives an accurate picture of where we are as a nation awash in sexual debauchery. Even though I encounter much of what she writes about on a daily basis, I saw new facets of this epidemic that I had not thought of before reading this book. I guess the part I love the most is that Wolf does not leave one with the hopelessness that could occur from these facts and figures. She ends with the hope of the Cross, repentance, and restoration. Everyone needs to read this critical expose. ~ Kathryn Wade, Executive Director, Life Choices Pregnancy Care Center, Aiken, SC
Alexys V. Wolf has yet turned out another book of Biblical insight. As with her other many books she endeavors to bring understanding and enlightenment to her readers with great success. While on a trip I took her new manuscript with me and thought I would just skim through it quickly as to get an overall view which would enable me to write an endorsement. I know her pretty well considering we are partners in ministry of many different avenues. I couldn’t skim this work, I read every word. When I finished, I stopped to let what I had read sink in. My first response was two words, fierce and fearless! “A Nations Achilles Heel: Perils of Sexual Immorality, addresses an issue that has brought our nation to a point of spiritual darkness andhas demoralized us as a nation. Author Wolf tackles this subject without apologies. She fearlessly and fiercely exposes sexual sin from a Biblical and economic standpoint. This book should be given to every person in America. We must take note of the seriousness of this particular path of destruction and repent. Bravo Author Wolf for calling out this way of life which we as a nation have accepted as a standard!. ~ Author and Minister Sandy Renner, SC
Learning to Digest the Truth without Choking
Endorsements
Alexys Wolf is brave and ambitious to tread into an area that can be treacherous and confusing for many people. Determining and embracing the truth is both challenging and scary. Author Wolf explains the difference between well-known and/or widely accepted clichés, and God’s truth. Her views are clearly explained and supported by Scripture. Even if one does not agree with her views, this is a thought-provoking read that guides one to seek the truth. ~ Doris L. Hawkins, Ph.D.
I want to extend my support and recommendation for Learning to Digest the Truth by Author Alexys V. Wolf. This book is perfect for anyone seeking God and those who already believe. I admire her strength to demonstrate honesty, regardless of the cost, however big or small. There is power in her description emphasizing the negative impact of a lying tongue versus the truth. She proves this when she wrote in chapter 11, “We must first learn to be honest with ourselves. In so doing, it will change the course of our actions.” I could go on and on about how deeply impactful this book has been for me. While reading Learning to Digest the Truth, you will begin to see her unfailing faith and desirable love for God as she describes how we can all reach our full spiritual potential. Alexys also includes biblical references to research the truth, allowing you to see the facts that back how she drew her conclusions. ~ April D. Moulton
Learning to Digest the Truth is so good! I love its straightforwardness—it cuts to the chase. Thank you, Alexys, for the privilege to write an endorsement! In a society where controversy, contradiction, and deceit are out of control, this latest book by my friend, Author Alexys V. Wolf, Learning To Digest the Truth Without Choking, is a must-read. It is not filled with flowery imagery, but neither is the truth. She writes with straightforward and solid conviction. I'll refrain from listing the many quotes I highlighted. Just read it. You will not be disappointed! ~ Lyn Westafer, International Christian Recording Artist
Out of Obcurity
Endorsements
Out of Obscurity—Helping Women Find their Kingdom Power and Purpose is prolific author Alexys Wolf’s latest application of biblical truth to the modern church. As in her many previous books, Alexys applies the principles of God’s Word to the body of Christ as she dives deeply into a critical question: How can women bring their unique identity and calling to modern Kingdom ministry? Out of Obscurity answers the question by allowing every woman leader in the Bible to speak for herself. From Eve’s story in the first chapters of Genesis through the amazing experience of the adulterous woman with Jesus in John’s gospel, we see that women from the beginning of biblical history have been a unique and indispensable part of the revelation of God’s Kingdom. Nothing says it better than the chapter on Deborah and Jael—a prophetess and a housewife who together executed God’s judgment on a king. The two women were able to do what a kingdom full of men could not. ~Dr. Mike Turner, Senior Pastor, Lexington Baptist Church, SC
Out of Obscurity is a magnificent compilation of women mentioned in the Bible. Each one made an impact on Biblical history. While I have read and studied Bible stories that include these women throughout my life, this book has opened my eyes to see how one simple act or one short moment in time can change the outcome of life and affect world history. I hope reading Out of Obscurity awakens you to how important every decision we make and every action we take affects not only our own lives but the lives of others both now and forever. ~Judy Folk, NC
Alexys V. Wolf's book, Out of Obscurity, is truly an inspiration and testament to the many women of the Bible. This book awakened in me a newness of who I am and how I have and can make an impact in life today. Some such powerful women caused great movements in the history of life. Viewing their lives and journeys stirred a fire within me to know that God has a great purpose in each of us, no matter how insignificant we may think we are—people of God with a servant's heart. Author Wolf has laid down the written journey of those women for all to see. Author Wolf causes her reader to reflect on who, what, when, and how every woman can make a powerful impact on life's history yet to come. ~Carolyn McConnell Glymph, The Potter's Christain Life Center, SC
Three Relationship Books: How to Get It Right
Endorsements
Alexys Wolf's book, How to Get it Right: Being Single, Married, Divorced and Everything in Between is thought-provoking, stimulating, packed with insight, and a pleasure to read. Prepare to be challenged. You need not concur with her every conclusion or interpretation to profit from the author's wisdom. Her views are grounded in a profound knowledge of Scripture and reverence for God's Word. The enemy of truth is often not change but tradition. Appropriately, Wolf approaches marriage and divorce with what might be called a Biblically Christian perspective as opposed to a traditionally religious view. Sadly, many today who call themselves Christians base their beliefs and model their behavior on the standards of the world, not on Scripture. Alexys Wolf is forthright in confronting these failings, mincing no words in upholding biblical standards of purity. Refreshingly honest and open in sharing her own heartbreaking experiences, with candor and humility she tells a compelling, human story of God's grace and redemption. ~ Author Walter Brian Cisco
How to Get it Right is one of the best books I have ever read on all the deep questions involved in this topic. It does more than just provide opinions; it gives scripture to look at concerning these various issues. This isn’t a fluffy book filled with data; instead, it is a hard-hitting, thought-provoking book that gives honest answers and things to consider for your own life. The section on covenant is awesome! There is a way to be healthy within a marriage and God must be first and foremost for that to occur. Author Alexys V. Wolf shares personal experiences that help the reader relate to and come alongside her in her quest for knowledge. This is definitely one of the finest books I have read on this subject and one that I would recommend to others who want to build their marriage. This would be a great book for a church library. I look forward to additional resources to be printed from this author to draw strength and encouragement. There are encouraging prayers at the end of the chapters. HTGIR is absolutely wonderful, beautifully written without pulling punches, yet full of love and tenderness. Would love to meet her and listen to her in person. This is very insightful and full of wisdom. It’s 5 stars all the way! ~Pastor Darin Godby, Reader’s Favorite Book Awards Judge
Two Kingdom Books: Holiness or Heresy & Kingdom vs. Religion
Endorsements
As I’ve read Holiness or Heresy several times over, I see more, and more, and more of the error (including my own) of the modern-day church. I have pondered within myself, “What is it going to take for the body of Christ to receive this great truth?” My prayer is that the vision and revelation God has given Alexys would be received as from the heart of the King; that the body would become one in mind, spirit, and body as we are with Christ. I pray that, through this book and from others from whom God is speaking a word of correction, people will be awakened in the deepest part of their spirit and connect with the Spirit of the living God. Holiness or Heresy is an eye-opener if ever I’ve read one! I’ve been in church all my life and have never ever heard such powerful, astounding revelation of the subject of the modern-day church. In reading this God-inspired writing, I recognize the vast difference between the original Church and how God’s people have diminished and even destroyed it throughout the centuries. We have digressed into a black hole of religiosity, the very thing for which Christ came to abolish. We must adjust according to God’s instruction and I realize it starts with one. Although I’ve read Holiness or Heresy several times over, I will joyfully read it again! I am beyond thrilled to have such a book for myself and I also pray that the whole of the body of Christ will read it as well. It’s a book for the ages! ~ Editor Pamela Scholtes, South Carolina
Alexys totally amazes me with such wisdom, insight, and revelation that she shares with the Body of Christ. It is easy to see how the Church has become unfocused upon that which is biblical and true, rather following after what is easy and accepted. This book, Holiness or Heresy, which I have read several times because of the depth and understanding that is unveiled, is not a book for just a casual reader. This book causes one to dig deep within their soul and search their deep inner chambers to discover their real relationship with God and if His divine holiness is living within. Scriptural references are given as the basis for each topic and eye-opening revelation that will cause one to think, be challenged, and allow one to move closer to our Holy God. For the believer who desires to get past the fluff and fake, this is the book for you. ~ Pastor Darin Godby, Kentucky

As you read this book, the weight of religion will fall off your shoulders; it will bring clarity to your heart as it permeates your intellect and your will as you keep in mind your desire to be active in your walk with God in Christ. As you draw with ease drinking of His living water. Alexys takes you into the court of His grace and the power of His faith and ministers the heart of Father calling those who purport to be His disciples to truly follow Him. Thy Kingdom Come is an enabling, powerful read, and you shall be blessed by every word of God put into print." Thy Kingdom Come, clarifies the difference in religion and the Kingdom; law vs. freedom; work vs. grace; powerlessness vs. power. ~ Dr. Amos J. Young, Sr., CA
Volumes: Looking for God & Discovering the Person of H. S.
Endorsements
Looking for God is well written and cohesive, no easy task. It has a purpose and flows straight to that purpose: how we can live more fully in the freedom Jesus has for us. Her writing is biblical and practical. I especially liked the prayers at the end of each chapter as well as the glimpses she gives throughout regarding your personal story. I must confess that I'm partial to "The Wilderness" chapter because that has been a theme I've wrestled with for years. ~Dr. Mike Turner, Senior Pastor, Lexington Baptist Church, SC
As a practicing Catholic for over seventy years, I was interested, enlightened, and challenged by Looking for God. It certainly might anger some, especially those who profess to be leaders of their church, because it clearly points out how ineffectual many of their approaches are in properly guiding their followers to find God. It provides the process and practical applications that not only church leaders should learn, but more importantly, every Christian should learn so others find God in them. It deserves to be read. ~MG (retired) Richard Scholtes (retired), FL
If you are looking for the TRUTH about God and what He thinks about ALL of us, then this book series, Looking for God, is for you! I HIGHLY recommend them to atheists and agnostics, as well as devout Christians. Looking For God books are enlightening and set the record straight on who God is and who we are as His creation! They are one of the most powerful, truthful, teachings of God’s Word that I have ever read! You’ve got questions? This series has the answers! Warning: This book series contains material that will reveal the truth and nothing but the truth. No fluff or smoke. Just truth. ~Helen Melcher, SC
I can honestly say that God used the book series, Looking for God, in my own life, before leaving Iraq, to prepare me for things to come. Thank you, Alexys, for allowing the Holy Spirit of God to lead you in your writing, and I’m sure He’ll continue to move through you in the years to come, my friend!! ~Eddie Crain, TX

Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit (previously Holy Spirit Who?) by Alexys V. Wolf is a spiritual journey to discover who the Holy Spirit is and the role the Spirit plays in our lives. Much like the author, I grew up in a mainstream traditional denomination where the spirit was stifled. We rarely ever discussed the Spirit. I grew up very uncomfortable with such talk. I praise God that it is no longer true. Scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit was sent to dwell within us and to be our comforter. He lives within us. This is where the Trinity comes in: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Much of what Mrs. Wolf leads the reader toward is total submission to the will of the Lord. Let's face it: most of us are not sure we want to submit. In fact we know we don't want to submit; it seems to be against our human nature. We want to be independent and self-sufficient. What we have forgotten is that God created everything and without Him we would not be here. Wolf defines who the Spirit is and the role it plays in our lives. I particularly enjoyed the section on the Fruit of the Spirit. I was also very interested in Chapter 11: Angels and Demons: Do You Really Believe? “The common Christian has become desensitized about the spirit realm and its validity in today's society.” Wolf points out that Satan has accomplished his task by desensitizing Christians. ~Anne B. of Readers Favorite International Book Contest
It is my strong opinion that Alexys’ book series, Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit, is the best of all her books. I found it not only wonderful but excellent and fantastic. Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit has Bible Scriptures as well as names of other authors you might be interested in reading. There are also prayers throughout the chapters that you can say and I said them all. This wonderfully fantastic book series will bring you closer to God. They tell you so many extraordinary things and also not so wonderful things; but the not so wonderful things are a teaching tool. When you read these books, not only will they help you get closer to God and find out how to get His Spirit, but Alexys also talks openly about some of her personal experiences. After reading those, I loved her all the more. I believe all Christians and non-Christians alike should read this book series. If you are a non-believer, read them and I guarantee you will turn your life over to God and ask Jesus into your life. I have been a born again Christian for over 10 years. Although I read my Bible every day, reading these books helps to clarify things from the Bible that I did not understand before. I have learned a lot from Alexys and all of her books but, by far, this one is the best as I find these extremely special. Please, everyone out there be you, man or woman, you really have to get this book series. You will be so happy and thrilled that you did. ~Cheryl Ann Kelly, Arnprior, Ontario
Minister Wolf's book 4 volume series, Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit, is well-organized and well-researched. She uses much scripture to back up her thesis. She ends each chapter with a prayer. This book's format is a reference guide. I can see many uses for this book. First, the average Christian would greatly benefit from the knowledge between the front and back cover. Secondly, pastors and teachers would find this book a great resource for their lessons. Mrs. Wolf obviously spent much time in research and definitely knows her subject. This is one book Christians do not want to miss. ~Pastor Darin Godby, Kentucky
Alexys is about to take you on a journey. Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit book series not like any book I have ever read about Holy Spirit. I am not even sure if I would call them books; they are a reference, a study guide, and a testimony of the very heart and character of God. Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit takes you deeper into the word of God than most would endeavor. Alexys has a way of breaking it down and feeding you line upon line, precept upon precept. Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit books are foundational, yet a tender haul over the coals for the intellectual who thinks he may have “read it all.” Subtly, she will eliminate every excuse you have to not walk fully in His will for your life and eradicate the very justification you thought you had for not knowing and walking in His word. I believe she actually writes, “Partial surrender is really equal to rebellion.” Accepting who we are and then understanding who we are with Holy Spirit is a revelation that can only come from “knowing” His word and Him personally. Alexys ensures that accurate interpretation is expressed and her findings are explored thoroughly. She dissects Scripture within the Word of God, digging deeper into the original intent and language. She leads us with assurance leaving no room for uncertainty. There comes a point in each of our lives…a kairos moment; a point in time that extraordinarily changes you, one that can’t be defined by human efforts, and one that couldn’t be expected. I believe at one point while reading this expose’ on Scripture, you will have your defining moment. You will begin a sentence and by the time you are finished, you will be altered. It’s not by anything that Alexys can say but rather how she aims you to His Truth. Like an arrow, you are about to be thrust headfirst into a deeper knowledge of a source so powerful and a supply so sweet that, not only will you be changed, but those around you will have an encounter because of your experience.
It’s not unreasonable to believe we can keep ourselves unstained from the world, that we can walk in love and be a sweet aroma unto the Lord, if we have an understanding of Holy Spirit – if we “know” Him. Let us not be deceived into thinking that He can be separated from Truth, love, or God’s Word. There is no righteousness apart from Him; you cannot tame your tongue without Holy Spirit, and you cannot please God without Him. Above all else, you cannot decide what parts of Him you want, accept, or believe. You may want to think twice before continuing to read any further. Whether you are ready or not, you are about to be changed. His word is powerful and Alexys has filled these pages with His word, His interpretation and His Truth – Truth convicts and transforms. There is no need to find a place on your bookshelf for this book series. The moment I finished, I wanted to go back to page one and begin again. If you are like I, you will want to be sure your hi-lighters are full of ink and pen is in hand. Don’t get too comfortable. Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit will bring you to your knees; it will bring you to a place of repentance, a place of desperation, and true freedom. Oh, and I should probably warn you that the passion that Alexys carries is largely contagious. I thank you, Jesus, for Alexys and her pursuit of You. I thank You for her desire to build Your house first. Bless her, Lord, for her desires to see Your people walk in Your Truth and the freedom that accompanies it. Bless her, Father, for her pursuit of righteousness and for her walk of obedience at any cost. I thank You that your will be done and that Your Word will not return void. Thank you for all that You are and for all that You have done for us already. Amen. ~ Carrie L. King, Kingston, Ontario
