O E Graves Book Reviews Buy now! Bride of Jesus Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God and becomes part of the body and Church of Christ. The Church is the bride of Jesus on earth, and Jesus is her Bridegroom. He died to redeem her from sin and death, and He rose again to prepare a place for her in heaven where she becomes His wife. Jesus made His Church His bride on earth and His wife in heaven because she kept His Word and abided in His love, just as He kept His Father's Word and abided in His love (John 15:10). Before the Church could become the wife of Christ, she first had to be redeemed into the spiritual image and likeness of God. Only Christ could redeem His Church, for she was created in His image and likeness as His closest relative. Jesus did not redeem her merely to marry her He redeemed her because He was already united with her from creation, and He came to save her from sin and the lake of fire. Do you believe this truth? You should want to if you don't. For this is the greatest life mankind can live on earth or in heaven (Matthew 11:11). Buy now! I am My Brother's Keeper I Am My Brother's Keeper is a reflection on how Cain responded to God when asked, "Where is your brother Abel?" There was a godly way Cain should have reacted to his brother Abel in love, not hatred. Instead, he chose to kill his brother and lie to God. This book reveals that there is also a godly way for us today to respond to the issues between us and our brothers and sisters with love that promotes life instead of death. Jesus is our perfect example of being a true brother's keeper, for He is the Keeper of the people of God. We become our best brother's keeper when we follow Jesus keeping His commandments and abiding in His love. Love always seeks life for the ones loved. A person who truly loves follows Jesus' example of loving his brother as himself. When you love your brother as yourself, you will want him to live just as you desire to live, even if he does not agree with how you love him. To be your brother's keeper is one of the hardest callings on earth, yet it carries the greatest reward in heaven. God sent Jesus to show mankind how to be His brother's keeper. Will you follow Jesus and help your brother live? Buy now! Soon-to-be-Released book

Christ Redeems Me to His Image & Likeness Title: Christ Redeems Me to His Image & Likeness Author: Oried E. Graves Publisher: Genre Library Solutions, LLC ISBN: 979-8330273454 Pages: 76 Genre: Christian / Non-fiction Reviewed by: Ephantus M. Pacific Book Review If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what exactly it means to be “made in God’s image,” Christ Redeems Me to His Image & Likeness by author Oried E. Graves has a lot to say, and it is delivered in a way which is deeply personal, refreshingly honest, and firmly grounded in Scripture. This isn’t a stiff theology textbook but rather feels like a heartfelt conversation with someone who’s been through the ups-and-downs of the faith journey and just wants to share what he’s learned about God, purpose, and how to live it all out. The heart of the book is the idea that being redeemed through Christ isn’t just about getting saved and calling it a day, but about being restored back to our original design as laid out in Genesis. Graves breaks it down through different biblical “dispensations” like innocence, law and grace, which he keeps tying back to one big point; God made us to glorify Him. And not just in theory, but in how we live, love, work, and follow His word. It’s clear Graves has spent a lot of time wrestling with these ideas in his own life, and that really comes through. A big recurring theme in the book is what he calls “divine duties” – those original instructions God gave Adam and Eve: be fruitful, multiply, take care of the earth, and rule over it. Graves expands into those concepts from a spiritual perspective, encouraging believers to take action in their faith and live with intention. Graves writes almost entirely in the first person, which creates a strong sense of accountability and connection, as if he’s walking through each truth alongside the reader. He even explains this choice early on, emphasizing the importance of owning our spiritual journey. The book also includes a helpful chart which breaks down humanity’s divine responsibilities-being fruitful, multiplying and subduing, across different levels of life, from the individual to the global church. It’s a unique organizational touch that adds clarity to his message. As far as the writing style goes, it’s super straightforward. Right from the onset it is clear Graves isn’t trying to impress anyone with fancy theology lingo, but rather just wants to be clear, an approach that makes the book feel more real. It’s like he’s more concerned with helping you grow than sounding deep. Overall, Christ Redeems Me to His Image & Likeness is a great pick for Christians who feel like they’re going through the motions and need a reminder of their bigger purpose. If you like books that are Scripture-heavy, direct, and come from a place of personal conviction, this one will hit home. It’s not sugar coated, but it is hopeful and that’s what makes it worth reading. A must-read for anyone longing to grow deeper in their faith journey.

O E Graves Reviews Graves maps a faith-based guide for Christian readers, urging them to “love and obey God’s Holy Word,” turn from sin, and keep the covenant God made with Adam in the Garden of Eden. Heavily quoting biblical passages and Jesus’s teachings, Graves shares his beliefs that mankind should "make a permanent choice to keep God's commandments and abide by His love right now, today, and forever,” highlighting, through well-known biblical figures and stories—Noah, Abraham, the fall of Adam and Eve, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah—God’s judgments, blessings, and assignment of five “divine duties” for Christians: being fruitful, multiplying, replenishing the Earth, subduing the Earth, and exerting dominion over the Earth. Graves writes in frank, uncompromising tones, emphasizing that God, the Bible, and Jesus’s sacrifice should be the center focus for Christians. He explains the guide’s more complex concepts in understandable terms, often pulling examples from contemporary life to illustrate biblical commandments and messages. Subduing the Earth, he argues, includes mankind overcoming global catastrophes just as much as it means “bringing my children in agreement with God’s eternal Word,” while he defines God’s command to multiply as a call for men and women to become pure in heart, marry, and produce offspring “that will be one flesh in the image and likeness of God.” Such unflinching reflections are often bookended by reminders of God’s love, as Graves reflects that “God dispensed Himself to always be with me as a loving Father in the person of His Son and His Spirit.” His overarching call-to-action for Christians is a reforming of the body, mind, and spirit, based on obedience to God’s word and on producing fruit of the spirit—the first of which, he reminds readers, is love: “Love hides a multitude of sins,” he writes, “therefore, it has the power to fulfill the law of God and redeem mankind.” Takeaway: Unflinching testament to seeking God’s glory and purpose.

Learn about Oried Graves, a Christian author, pastor, and speaker dedicated to inspiring faith through his books and teachings. Explore his journey of spiritual growth and transformation. Powered by : Genre Library Solutions The Author Oried Graves By God’s grace, I am 80 years old, the fifth of ten children. My father passed away when I was just seven years old, leaving my mother to raise us with very limited resources. Despite our struggles, she taught us the importance of hard work and self-sufficiency. Longing for a fatherly figure, I turned to Jesus Christ at an early age and found strength in Him. With Christ and my mother by my side, I graduated from high school and worked several jobs to support myself. In 1965, I was drafted into the Army and served for three years, including one year in the Vietnam War and another in Korea. By God's grace, I survived. After my military service, I pursued my educational goals. With the Lord’s help, I earned degrees in: Accounting from Norfolk State University Business Administration from Old Dominion University Interdisciplinary Studies and Technology from Masters' Dortorial School of Divinity I worked as an auditor with the United States General Accounting Office for 21 years before retiring in 1995. Throughout my life, I have joyfully served in the Church of Christ. In 1980, I was called to ministry, and by 1984, I began pastoring. I am deeply grateful for Christ’s redemption, which restores us to His image and likeness. His Holy Spirit seals me in His redemption, glorifying God through my life. As an author, I seek to identify what mankind often overlooks in daily life—truths that, if seen, would reveal both the Creator and oneself. I desire to experience what I read in God’s eternal Word, allowing it to transform my understanding and guide my purpose. I am working on my second book, which carries the same mission as my first but with a slightly different approach. The Word of God is the only true source of information that not only reveals who I am but also leads me to where I need to be. My journey in ministry began in my teenage years, and I have faithfully served in various roles within the Church of Christ. Every day of service has been a joy, and I strive to fulfill the purpose for which I was created in God’s image and likeness. I am blessed to be married, with four children, and I pastor the family Church of Christ. My wife and children serve alongside me in ministry, and I hope to dedicate this book to them, as well as to other close family members and friends who have supported me along the way. My greatest goal in life is to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and to help others follow Him as well. I remind myself daily that Christ is always with us, guiding us to do what He commands and teaching us to abide in His love, just as He abides in His Father’s love by keeping His commandments. O. E.
