sowerHappy Springtime! In the Parable of the Sower, the Seed [God's Word] sown by the wayside, in rocky soil and among the thorns was never rooted nor grounded in the soil of their hearts. The hearers did not understand nor comprehend the Good News because their hearts we're hardened, not truly turned to Jesus for healing. But for those who were healed, the Lord said:

"The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God's word and produce a harvest thirty, sixty or even a hundred times as much as had been planted" (Matthew 13:23, NLT).

BOOKS

Will You Die for Me?

"A fixating story not only because it is a first-person account of the Manson murders by one of its murderers, but because no punches have been pulled..." -West Coast Review of Books

(Partially taken from eight hours of tape recordings with Charles' attorney in 1969; recommended by the NY Times in 2019.)


Charles Watson Speaks Out!

A riveting 200+ question interview with a former Manson Cult member, who insightfully shares his heart about Manson, the cult, the drugs, the music, the crime, the victims, the death penalty, forgiveness, prisoners, and salvation.

Christianity for Fools

Christianity seems foolish based on the world's priorities. Yet, eternal salvation is more valuable than Hall of Fame, wealth and success pursued by the world. Our prayer is that this book will open your eyes to an entirely new vision for life.

Our Identity: Spirit, Soul & Body

God created us a living soul, made up of mind, will and emotions, the spirit giving us life. I believe through the reading of this book, you will come to see yourself as a wonderful possession of our Heavenly Father.

Illumination Bible Charts

It is my hope that these charts will be a blessing to you as they have to me and many others participating in my classes over the years. I find that it is easier for me to understand spiritual truth when I can see it created in chart form.

  • Love is All You Need

    One of my favorite songs in the '60s was “Love Is All You Need” by the Beatles. Children were singing this song around the world. I don't know if the Beatles understood the enormous truth behind their message, since they were singing about a “feeling”.

  • Defining Moments Identified in Life

    Defining moments are times when decisions were made that defined our lives with either positive or negative consequences. By identifying these,  we become more effective in sharing our testimony in Christ with others.

  • Insights Into My Behavioral Change

    My irrational thinking caused a chain of destructive emotions and sinful behavior. Beginning with Eve in the Garden, thoughts of not having or being enough...

  • Dead Man Walkin'

    It was like a breath of fresh air leaving the Los Angeles County Jail in a bus for death row after my conviction. We headed up the coast to San Quentin, which overlooks the San Francisco bay.

  • Cult Madness

    The purpose of this message is to share the Truth found solely in the Good News of Jesus Christ. It has been said, if you want to know the
    counterfeit, get to know the real thing.

  • Why the Crimes?

    I was 23 years old in August 1969, when I committed crimes that shocked the nation and sent shock waves around the world.
