Leading The Way is Dr. Youssef ’s radio and television ministry, which broadcasts throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Dual-language radio messages are broadcast around the world using a unique format in which the Gospel message is translated phrase by phrase from English into a number of languages, including Arabic, Mandarin, Indonesian, Turkish, Punjabi, Russian, Farsi, French, Hindi, Bengali, Korean, Spanish, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Amharic.

In his audio series Twelve Steps for Growing Up, Michael Youssef, Ph.D., explains how we can take simple, gradual steps toward spiritual maturity by applying the same principles to our lives that Jesus taught His disciples. This in-depth study of the book of James will challenge you and encourage you to seek God and His wisdom as you mature in your walk with Him. In this 12-part series, you’ll learn how to love the unlovable, how to submit to God’s authority, and how to trust God for your future. Michael Youssef, Ph.D., is the founding pastor of The Church of The Apostles in Atlanta, Georgia, and the host of a worldwide radio and television program, also based in Atlanta. Dr. Youssef was educated in Australia and in the United States. He and his wife have four grown children.

The best-selling book The Da Vinci Code may be entertaining, but it also is extremely dangerous. It weaves a web of intrigue that seduces the reader into a fictional story posed as factual. It has misled many into believing that the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is a myth, among other heresies. Recognizing that so many people—including Christians—have been misled, Michael Youssef presents a critical analysis of this deception.

Michael Youssef, Ph.D., is the founding pastor of The Church of The Apostles in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a degree in theology from Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia, as well as a master’s degree in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. He also has a doctorate in social anthropology from Emory University.

The bread of life. The light of the world. The door. The good shepherd. The Resurrection. The way, the truth, and the life. The true vine. These are all words Jesus used to describe Himself in Scripture—but what do these descriptions mean? In Michael Youssef ’s eight-part series The “I Am” Statements of Jesus, he examines what Jesus said about Himself—and what our response as Christians should be. Focusing on Jesus’ “I am” statements in the Gospel of John, Dr. Youssef explains the significance of the words “I am” and how each of Christ’s “I am” metaphors relates to us today.

Thank you for purchasing our product. I'm an old fashioned guy with old fashioned ideas. For instance, I believe that people should take painstaking care in the manufacturing of their products in order to ensure the total satisfaction of those who buy them. That is why we use only the best of our home grown potatoes, slice them by hand and then process them in small batches to maximize the flavor of every single chip. This is a small example of the non compromising approach we take to delivering quality. It's a little old fashioned and requires more effort, but the smile on your face makes it all worthwhile. Hope you enjoy our chips and please, always keep our company motto in mind:

winecountryweddingsmagazine.com letter from the editor Being an Austrain bridesmaid with my dear friend, the bride Nicole

contributor Alex May. These lovely ideas give foodies unique recipes and packaging ideas that make for yummy food favors. Working with Off the Beaten Path Weddings, we coordinated a styled Country Chic Wedding (Page 76). Inspired by harvest we shot this feature on a Napa farm with a rustic barn and used my favorite fruit, white peaches, as inspiration. Gianna Gaudini, our resident Sommelier researched Signature Wine Cocktails (Page 60) by visiting some of our favorite watering holes. We are certain wine-loving couples will want to serve these libations at their wine country wedding. Finally, New Years Eve Fashion (Page 44) inspired our take on a jovial approach to reception dresses and wedding gowns that were suitable for an ‘I do’ at midnight. Lastly, I’d like to thank all our readers, sponsors and contributors for their support. Our premiereissue met our wildest dreams. Again,our goal is to ensure that each issue is better than the last. Also, don’t miss out on our blog, where more inspiration, resources and planning advice resides everyday.
