    Kidron Crossing Christian Publishers and Booksellers publish books and other material concerning Christian faith in the world today, how it impacts our lives, our country and/or our Christian beliefs, values, and faith. To this end we also publish a blog at The American Christian Journal (The ACJ) and our radio station at One Voice Of Faith Radio (OVOF Radio). We must nourish our spirits, on this Walk Of Faith, even as we nourish our bodies (2 Timothy 2:15). It is our firm belief that we must be disciples of Christ (Luke 9:23) that we may be glorified with Him (Romans 8:17). It is a relationship that religion can't give you. Love God, love each other, and be the light in this darkened world. Then, and only then, your faith is complete! (Matthew 22:37-40) God bless to all.
