Welcome to our new and updated version of the Thomas Ministries website!  We trust that this new format will make the website both more helpful and more user-friendly.  But there is more to our change of format than meets the eye, as we will discuss below.

In the course of preparing the next round of material for the website, we here at Thomas Ministries found ourselves challenged to change direction on the Thomas Project.  We could not shake the leading from the Lord that before we could address matters of science and the Christian faith any further, we had to address matters of the Christian faith first.  We found that the gap between what Scripture said we should be doing as Christians, and what we were actually doing as Christians, was unconscionably wide.  The more deeply we looked into it, the more shamefully apparent it became, as a matter of integrity before God and as a matter of testimony before mankind.  So we suspended further work on the Thomas Project in order to do what we could, in obedience to God’s call, to bridge that unconscionably wide gap.

The result is two books that we have written.  The first is called At The Door Knocking: When Jesus Stands Outside the Church (Xlibris Corporation, December, 2007).  Its ISBN is 9781425798215 and it can be accessed for review and excerpt reading at www.xlibris.com/AtTheDoorKnocking  The second is called Ready To Be Healed: Restoring the Church to Jesus (Xlibris Corporation, September, 2008).  Its ISBN is 9781436359535 and it can be accessed for review and excerpt reading at www.xlibris.com/ReadyToBeHealed .  The suggested retail price for either book is only $10.  The cost through the publisher for either book is below this, at $8.50 per book, plus shipping and handling.  Additionally, either book can be purchased at a very good price from either Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble.com through the following links.

One can also perform online searches using the ISBN’s or the author’s name (William Berning) to find other good prices for these books at other online bookstores, such as Borders.com, Target.com, Buy.com, etc.  There is also routinely updated author information available at www.xlibris.com/Berning .

 We trust this has been helpful to assist anyone who is interested in purchasing these highly readable but challenging turns in our ministry direction.  Both are also available for ordering through regular brick-and-mortar bookstores.

 So over the course of the next several months you can expect to see further changes to our website formats and content.  These changes reflect the reality of God’s changed call on our ministry, or rather, our better understanding of His call on us.  We hope and pray that these changes will be of greatest benefit to all!

 With Heartfelt Appreciation,
