<P>
Dr. Chuck Betters often says that the death of his sixteen-year-old son, Mark, "unbolted us from our 
love affair with this world."  MARK INC Ministries is one of the products of that "unbolting" and 
features the preaching and teaching of Dr. Betters. MARK INC is an acronym for "Making Abundant 
Riches Known in the Name of Christ." MARK INC Ministries partners with pastors and church leaders 
by searching for new ways of sharing not only the good news of salvation but the practical 
scriptural messages of how God expects us to respond to His great compassion and love.  
</P><P>
Listeners often express thanks for the bold preaching of Dr. Betters and how God has taught them 
specific ways to respond to difficult circumstances and to glorify God in the midst of deep pain.  
Pastors and laymen frequently express appreciation for the scriptural encouragement they receive 
that helps them to courageously labor in difficult ministries.  
</P><P>
It is the prayer of Dr. Chuck Betters and his wife and partner in ministry, Sharon, that MARK INC 
Ministries will provide scriptural encouragement to you as you grow in the grace and knowledge 
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
</P>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Coming Home From War - 3 CD Set]]></title>
      <link>http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/A_Gripping_Thought</link>
      <description><![CDATA[

MARKINC's initial goal was to develop a resource that offers help and hope to these returning heroes. We quickly realized that preparing yourself and your family relationships for war-time separation greatly impacts the coming home from war transition.<br><br>Each of three interviews addresses a different aspect of war-time stresses: War and the Family, The Demons of War, and War and Marriage. The purpose of this faith-based resource series is to share the personal stories of individuals and families in the context of deployment; how they prepared for deployment, how they protected or rebuilt their marriage during deployment; how they deal with the recurring demons of war and how they transitioned back into their families after war.<br><br>These interviews are practical, transparent and moving reflections from career and non-career military personnel. Some of the conversations may be difficult to listen to but our goal is to represent several different levels of military commitment and life. We hope this three-part series will be a valuable resource that offers help and hope to our military personnel and their families who have sacrificed so much for us.<br><br>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/A_Gripping_Thought</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Adultery - Forgiveness and Redemption

Some who have felt it's power say it is the worst pain one human being can inflict on another because it is the epitome of rejection by someone who should love you. Some studies of married couples conclude that 60% of husbands and 45 – 55% of wives will commit some form of adultery before they turn 40 years of age. In these two hour-long interviews we address adultery in keeping with our goal to produce resources that tackle life-changing crises that are painful and difficult to discuss.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Harlots and Heroines - NEW BOOK by Dr. Chuck Betters]]></title>
      <link>http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/A_Gripping_Thought</link>
      <description><![CDATA[NEW BOOK by Dr. Chuck Betters
The Midwives of the Messiah
For a limited time only at the special price of $20 you can receive a signed copy of Dr. Chuck Betters' newest book accompanied by a copy of A Cry from My Heart piano CD by Dr. Betters' son Chuck L Betters.  Additional autographed copies will be $15.<br>
A wounded widow, a professional prostitute, an indomitable immigrant, a bathing beauty, a terrified teenager-<br><br>
<b><i>Harlots and Heroines: The Midwives of the Messiah</b></i><br><br>
Each woman in the genealogy of Jesus - Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary - faced insurmountable odds that would have disqualified her from most jobs in many churches. Yet emotional abuse, prostitution, murder, death, lies, widowhood, poverty and an out of wedlock pregnancy are scars that God redeems and transforms into glory on the pathway to the Incarnation - the birth of our Messiah.   Where we might see darkness God reveals His faithful love. He majestically intervened into the lives of these women to ensure that our Messiah would come at precisely the right moment and into the exact family His Father had prepared.  What seems to disqualify them from the genealogy of Jesus actually becomes the source of great hope for broken people.<br><br>
Harlots and Heroines, The Midwives of the Messiah is a book about our spiritual mothers. They are waiting for us in heaven and as they wait, they call back, “Dear Sons and Daughters, study our lives and you will see that God is sovereign and you can trust Him, too.”<br><br>
Sharon W. Betters, author, Treasures of Encouragement, Treasures in Darkness, co-author, Treasures of Faith]]></description>
