After years of working for established, mainstream Publishing Houses as a freelance Writer, Editor and/or Ghostwriter, when JEANNE GOSSETT HALSEY submitted her own bylined manuscripts to them, they turned her down, saying, "We don't know you." What a stupid excuse! So (being the fearless, intrepid person she is), Jeanne promptly started her own publishing company - MASTERPIECES IN PROGRESS Publishing House (based on Ephesians 2:10: "For we are...

Jeanne Gossett Halsey's unique take on "Through the New Testament In A Year" comes to an exciting conclusion as she tackles the apocalyptic book of REVELATION, the 66th book of the Bible. You won't want to miss this one!

Would that we were a "Battalion of Praying Elishas"! Praying against the attacks of the Enemy, asking God for His supernatural intervention, trusting in His promises to deploy His Heavenly Soldiers to fight on our behalf. People who do not hesitate to join our faith with God's Holy Army and do spiritual warfare that results in tangible change. We may not get to climb into Chariots of Fire and ride into battle, but the fuel for those Heavenly H...

When I was writing out the verses of 1st Samuel 31, I realized I was mourning the death of Saul, much as I had grieved when I typed out the chapters dealing with the death of Moses. I know he was a real person, I know he was a man whom God looked upon and singled out for His purposes. Too often we focus on "the end" of a person's life (especially if it ended badly) rather than on the whole of his life and celebrate the good things he accomplis...

The scenario is a year in the lives of four New Soldiers in the Army of God. It is a metaphor for Christian life today." The analogy that Christians are supposed to be warriors for the Kingdom of God is not new. I do not believe our local churches are supposed to be luxurious day-camps for pampering self-indulgent babies, rather, I believe new believers should hit the ground running, learning about spiritual warfare from the outset ... and ...

EXCERPT: "When I read about the mighty King David, now an elderly man with poor blood circulation (see 1 Kings 1:1-3), I immediately remembered my once-robust father Don Gossett - a great man of God in his own right - in his latter years never being quite warm enough. A great warrior David had famously been, but now old age had caught up to him and he spent his time covered with blankets and sitting by braziers, with his personal nurse-assista...

From King Solomon to King Zedekiah, the people of Israel are on a roller-coaster ride. One King follows the LORD God Jehovah, and all the people worship Him too. The next King goes after idols and pagan "religions, " and all the people fall into sin too. What a mess!

The dialogue in 1st Chronicles 17:15-27, between David and God, is one of the most pure and genuine displays of a humble heart we are going to read in the entire Bible. David loved God ... and God loved David. David was utterly committed to the Father/son relationship he enjoyed with God. He constantly looked for God's presence in every situation of life - and this attitude was reiterated throughout his life, including those fiercely intense t...

I admire Joshua, and I hope I have some of his characteristics - optimism, courage, faithfulness, leadership, tenacity - in my personality. For I am as committed as he was to: "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD"! (Joshua 24:15)

David was a humble man whom God raised to greatness, but what mattered more to him than the world's renown was God's opinion of him. He was not perfect but he loved and trusted God overwhelmingly, and that made him beloved of God. That is his very simple "secret of a happy life" - how many of us can say we have the same game plan for our lives?

Continuing the "Bible According to Jeanne" Series, we reach the Historical Books of JUDGES and RUTH. Revisiting the up-and-down history of the People of Israel and then learning how much their experiences still apply to people's lives today, this is fascinating! From the death of Joshua through to the live of Ruth, this Devotional Study will keep the Reader riveted!

Some day I want to write a book ...." How many times has published Author and Editor Jeanne Gossett Halsey heard that phrase sighed by a would-be writer? So many times that she finally decided to put her years of successful Writing experience into your hands! "The School of Creative Christian Writing" is a six-week course - using "The Legacy of Writing" as the primary curriculum - where Jeanne shares practical, proven steps to unlock the gift ...

In the 1960's and '70's, the JESUS PEOPLE Movement exploded on the world ... and the ground-breaking group "LOVE SONG" was right in the middle of it. 50 years later, their songs - with a strong theme of evangelism - are still powerful and life-changing. Using a simple story (written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey) to showcase 16 songs (written primarily by CHUCK GIRARD), "TWO HANDS" is a unique two-act Christian Retro Musical that will refresh your ...

That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the Sun. Is there anything of which one might say, 'See this, it is new'? Already it has existed for ages, which were before us." (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10, emphasis added)I would like like to say to Solomon: "Surprise! For the first time in Human History, this axiom is not true. In 2020 (a cool 3, 000 years since your l...

The Bible According to Jeanne" Series continues with four more Minor Prophets: OBADIAH, JONAH, MICAH, and NAHUM. Most people know a lot about Jonah, but Obadiah, Micah and Nahum have pithy things to say as well.

As we approach the end of the Old Testament - and the conclusion of "the Bible According to Jeanne" Series - these final books seem quieter and less original than many of the previous thunderings of the Mighty Major Prophets. This is an erroneous impression because most of these Minor Prophets lived and worked prior to the advent of the Major Prophets. It is necessary to see these individual Minor Prophets as people in their own right and to r...

THE GRAND FINALE ~ I believe during this entire 3-year journey of going deep into God's Word that I have repeatedly experienced this: "When you get in trouble for writing what you have written, for saying controversial things, maybe even slightly irreverent things, just keep writing what I give you to write, for it will not be you writing but the Spirit of your Father writing through you" (Matthew 10:19-20, highly paraphrased). ~ On a very per...

Excerpt from EZEKIEL 24: No believer in the LORD God will be exempt from Life's difficulties. There are no Ivory Towers in the lives of Christians. We will live in the real world, alongside all the sinners and blasphemers, and we won't be immune from the spatter of their dirt and filth when they wrestle around us, and we won't be free of wounds and scars and worries. Our lives will not be beautiful and perfect, with rewards handed out like can...

At first Jeremiah - the son of a village Priest - resisted the call to become a Prophet by complaining he was only a child and didn't know how to speak, God disagreed: "Get yourself ready, Jeremiah!" (Jeremiah 1:17). He knew the qualities of a Prophet included "not being afraid" ... "standing up to speak" ... "speaking only as told" ... and "going where sent" - in other words, a soldier enlisted in the military. Jeremiah started his Prophetic ...

Excerpt from JEREMIAH 6: ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE BOSS There is a verse that truly jumps out of this chapter, spoken by the LORD God directly to Jeremiah the Prophet, an encouragement meant for him especially: "I have made you an assayer and a tester among My People, that you may know and assay their way" (Jeremiah 6:27). Right in the middle of Jeremiah faithfully reporting the impending destruction of Jerusalem, his Heavenly Father sensed that ...
