MICHAEL BAER BOOKS CHRISTIAN AUTHOR

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL

Why I wrote these books

These five books represent the talents Jesus has given me. In His parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30), the master tells the servant who buried his talent that he should have put his money to the exchangers, so that “at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.” It did not go well for the servant who buried his talent, so I decided to put mine to work, sharing them through these books with as many believers as possible rather than keeping them buried in my own heart for my own benefit.

I am retired and now have the time to write and share the true treasures from the Word of God that fill my heart. God has given me a gift to teach, and now I get to operate in that gift through these books to bless the body of Christ.

There is so much unsound teaching in the church world today that I feel compelled to share the sound, Scripture-based doctrine God has entrusted to me. Much of what I teach in these books is not being taught in many churches, but it needs to be, and these books are my way of getting these teachings to you. My prayer is that they will transform your relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, strengthen your faith in Christ, and teach you how to overcome the lusts of the flesh and walk in God’s righteousness every day.

In every book, I either print the complete scripture right on the page above or below what I am teaching, or I give you the reference so you can look it up. Most of the time you get the whole scripture. Read the scriptures I show you and the ones I reference, and judge for yourself whether what I teach is true, the way the Bereans did in Acts 17:11. Each book contains the complete teaching on its topic. The teaching comes from my heart, inspired by the Holy Spirit. I used AI as a tool to help me present it to you clearly and without errors.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Michael Baer

Michael Baer

Michael Baer is a retired chiropractor living in Mazatlán, Mexico. A born-again Christian for more than forty-five years, he has spent a lifetime learning to walk with God and to know His Word. The gifts of teaching and service that once served his patients and his community he now pours onto the page, writing as the Lord leads him by the Holy Spirit so that others might understand and live by the truth of Scripture.

His writing returns again and again to one urgent concern: that born-again believers walk in genuine victory over sin. In What Is The Flesh And How We Overcome It and its companion, Harden Not Your Heart, he confronts two great dangers of the Christian life: the relentless pull of the flesh to sin, and the slow hardening of a heart that drifts from God when sin is practiced.

Jesus Christ, the Sure Foundation lays out the scriptural evidence that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Son of God: God who became a man without sin, took our sins upon Himself, died, and rose again on the third day, so that we can be forgiven and made the righteousness of God in Him. The Opposite Benefits then turns to all that the cross recovered: fifteen things Jesus suffered, the blessings those sufferings restored, and how believers may lay hold of each one by faith. His newest book, From the Gate to the Glory, walks through the tabernacle in the wilderness, from the gate to the Mercy Seat, and shows how its pattern leads a believer into God’s presence.

All five books are available in English and Spanish, in Kindle and paperback. Through each one, Michael’s desire is the same: a steadfast faith in Jesus Christ, firm unto the end, so that believers walk in faithful obedience by the Holy Spirit and their eternal inheritance in His kingdom is secure.
