“Calvary Unleashed” takes us to church. We meet church members whose “issues” are not surface. The persecution and pain that church leaders and their families face are enlightened. The secular world is addressed and challenged. We all learn why we don’t want to nail Jesus to the cross.

MY BOOKS
God has given unto man many gifts and talents to be used for the body of Christ and His service. Time is running out. Will you be found doing the will of God in your final hour of Ministry? We are not just getting older but closer to God’s return. The moment we were born life’s countdown began and we are closer to God’s return than we have ever been before. The bible says, “and as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb. 9:27 KJV). We must be found doing the will of God in this final hour.
​
“The Hourglass of Ministry “Final Hour” is a book that is needed in this season. Where the church has altered its culture, and in some respect compromised its standards, Dr. Joyce reminds us to stand steadfast in holiness. This book challenges us to line up with The Word of the Lord. It encourages us to prepare for the call of God on our life. It warns that we need to be found in the will of the Lord in the final hour”.
