A Journey of Faith is a compilation of the life of Josef. Born in 1943 during WWII, while millions of soldiers died on the battlefields and millions of civilians died because of the bombing of cities and starvation, Josef survived against all odds. He was nursed and raised by a naturopathic-treatment-practicing mother, utilizing alternative medicine and prayer. She relieved her families' sicknesses at a time when few hospitals were operating and only a small number of doctors available. At the age of twenty, Josef, with his pregnant wife, immigrated to America with not much money, but by the grace of God and hard work came to be part owner a food-processing company. In gratitude for the grace and many blessings of God, it created in me a yearning to comfort those who have been less fortunate and have fallen on hard times. His hope is that this book will remind people what God can and will do, no matter how humble our beginnings, and circumstance. Trust in Him.

This book is lovingly compiled using the blog written by Grandma Lois. Lois believed that by writing her thoughts and sharing them with other grandparents and their grandchildren as well, she could lead others to know her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It's human nature to look at something when you have emphatically been told not to look.Those of mythological lore who looked directly at Medusa, the snake-headed creature, were instantly turned to stone.Lot's wife, in the book of Genesis, could not resist to look back even after God had strongly advised her not to. As we know, her one peek instantly and infamously made her the first box of Morton Salt.Similarly, Ethel, in Ray Stevens's 1974 hit song, "The Streak," ignored her protective husband's earnest pleas not to look at a serial streaker.Ethel did not turn to stone or salt, but she did lose her clothes as a result of her looking.My suspect friends, Bacon and Genius, would highly implore you NOT to read this book.However, if you would like quick doses of humor, inspiration, and wisdom, this book just may be what you are looking for.Can you resist? What will your fate be if you do look? The choice is in your hands. Proceed at your own risk!Certainly, it could do no harm to take just one little peek...

In this sequel to the author's breakthrough novel, One Hard Day, US Air Force Lieutenant Cutler Walker is moving to California, where he will train as a pilot in the KC-135, the air force's intercontinental air-refueling aircraft.

He and Baylee develop a close friendship with a most unlikely couple, and Walker has a falling-out with a close friend, ending a twenty-year friendship. With Baylee at his side and the Lord guiding him, Walker takes it all in stride, approaching his life with a new look, a better attitude, and an inner drive that takes him on a wild ride.

When an evil plot to destroy the Jews is concocted by Haman, Xerxes's second-in-command, Esther must decide to speak up or not. In doing so, she risks her life, as it is against the law to approach the king without being summoned. Will Xerxes's love for her be more powerful than the law? Which will win, love or law?

This book is intended to help the reader to read, think and grow into a more mature Christian.

Prayers of the Righteous was birth into a book after a series of events produced life-changing prayer results. Although many prayers were attributed throughout life, it was the sincere ones that stood out the most and seared the conscience. I discovered that there is a right way to pray, and it was different from previous perceptions known beforehand. Personal prayer encounters with the heavenly Father created a spiritual bond nothing or no one could undo. Others share similar insight about faithful prayer practices, and some people are still waiting to tap in.

With both eyes searching and with one finger typing, I heard through the Spirit, This book will be the best of its kind.

However, a "new crop" is here and will awaken believers to the Gospel promises. Through the revelations the Holy Spirit puts into their hearts, they will have the ability to stand upright in Christ.Prepare your ground for the young men and women who will be highly favored by God.Smaller in number are the evil standing against our Father's perfect design, but their unity overpowers Christianity plagued by division. These pages present the opportunity to become one with our Holy Father in becoming one Behind the Stone.My story tells the importance of staying obedient and is a must read for those desiring to live a fruitful and sanctified life in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Skippy to the Rescue is a book that is a friendly reminder of how all children should strive to be kind to others without judgment.

Loving Your Neighbor: A Practical Guide to Keeping the Second Great Commandment explores what God actually means by the word "love." Often, in our culture, we use the word "love" to mean "like very, very much," as in, "I love pizza!" But then there are Bible verses that command us to love our enemies; clearly, the Lord cannot be asking us to like them very much.This book looks first at the heart of love, as evidenced by God and others. From these scriptural records, we can see that spiritual love really means a selfless caring for the other. When we love, we must start with a motivation that focuses solely on the well-being of the other and not on any benefits to self.Next, as this is a practical guide, this book examines "pictures" of love, words that give the reader a picture of how this love might actually practically work in our lives. Often, these biblical words have both a physical and a figurative usage. The physical usage gives us the picture, and the figurative usage shows us how to practically apply this in loving our neighbor.Finally, the author shows that God has given us tools in the Bible to help us get better at loving our neighbor. God gave us the commandment, but then He was loving enough to help us love and to help us grow in loving our neighbors.

Stella and her dog Schoomie live next door to Jesus. They go to play with him, but he is busy preparing for Hanukkah. He tells them all about it. His mother, Mary, explains the material that is used for the Menorah wicks is the same material for the swaddling clothes used when Jesus was born (It represents that he is the light of the world). He is Mary's little light. Jesus invites Stella's family to the celebration.

After moving to Minnesota, Aria Richards tries to start a new chapter of her life...behind her parents' backs. She makes some friends and an enemy too, but even her enemy isn't the biggest challenge in her life. Her parents, behind their strict, filthy-rich fronts, aren't acting the same. Aria knows something else is going on. Something they would protect with their lives if necessary. Something beyond the surface.

This is the true story of a boy growing up in post WWII London, England, with the dark aftereffects of the war still visible in some of the buildings and the personalities of the people who suffered through it all. The occasional family outings to beaches, parks, and the green rolling hills of Wales to visit relatives triggered a dream to one day explore and live in a wide-open country far away from the gloomy, crowded city life. The Canadian adventures that follow, some fun and some almost fatal, are a fulfillment of that dream.

The importance of words cannot be overstated. In our earthly realm, a business leader, politician, or coach can speak or write words of encouragement that result in people achieving more and reaching heights previously thought unattainable. The opposite can also occur when charismatic leaders influence their followers to commit atrocities.The critical importance of the word is never more illustrated when you consider that God spoke the word and the universe came into being. Think about the apostles when they realized that Jesus's life represented a fulfillment of prophecy, "...The word became flesh and dwelt among us."Words to Live By is more than an inspirational book. In fact, Words to Live By is a guide to help you seek out, compile, and live life according to a set of words you can be proud of. A set of words which encourages hope. A set of words which leaves a legacy of a life others can follow, with a can-do mentality. It is my hope that this book will serve as the catalyst for you, the reader, to create a life lived on purpose following God's will. To define your meaning of success and achievement based upon the relationships you nurture with others. To become an overcomer and never give up when faced with the inevitable hurdles, obstacles, and disappointments we all experience in life. Perfect for teaching positive values in your classroom, Sunday School class or book group."

An intriguing set of signs before Tucker's accident that are undeniable and many more signs after his tragic accident set the stage for this remarkable story of a young man taken from us way too soon.

Much of the world we live in is perceived by many as dangerous and unfriendly. Well into his early adulthood, the author thought so, to the extent that he had little interest in traveling outside the boundaries of his homeland. He certainly lacked any interest whatsoever in traveling overseas.While the author travelled extensively throughout the United States for work-related as well as personal purposes, preplanning of trip details was the norm. Assistance of tourist agencies was utilized regularly in order to assure comfort and safety. Overnight accommodations were almost always prearranged. All plans focused on assuring comfort and convenience.While the author proclaimed Christian faith early in his professional career, that proclamation did not extend to sharing that faith with others outside the United States or even locally outside the author's comfort zone. The author refrained from personally interacting with people of unfamiliar cultures, let alone those in foreign locales deemed difficult or even impossible to reach and interact with.Then an incredible transformation took place in the author's life. Roughly thirteen years into the author's professional career, his fear of the unknown and unfamiliar cultures was miraculously removed from his being. Shortly after, his staunch commitment to advance planning of trip details was eradicated little by little.Following the removal of fear of the unknown from the author's persona, he was, time and again, drawn into experiences falling further and further outside his previous comfort zone. Over time, the author was increasingly blessed with amazing new friendships overseas, wonderful ties with families abroad, and incredible faith-sharing opportunities in foreign lands--"independent" travels that have taken him to nearly ninety countries worldwide.Ron's amazing interactional experiences were regularly intertwined with stunning events most would describe as unpredictable, inconceivable, or even impossible--and virtually always unforeseeable. Hence the title of this book, A Stunning World of Faith, Family, and Friendship--and the Unforeseeable.In many instances, the experiences described in these pages might appear to be grossly exaggerated or even fabricated. Hence the inclusion of numerous photos documenting the stunning truth.

Does this world have you stressed out right now? Are you looking for some answers, some peace in your life? Are you stuck in some bondage to your past or locked in addiction or destructive behavior? If you are an honest seeker and are open to finding victory and the pathway to the meaning of life, then take a chance on what I am offering you here. I am offering some truth you may not have heard before (i.e., a non-organized religion perspective of God) that is helping thousands gain significance and purpose and find victory in life over fear, despair, abuse, and addictions. It may surprise you to hear that Jesus hated religion. He spoke out against it and the powerful religious leaders, and they plotted to murder Him for it. He wants a relationship with you.This perspective is based on relationship rather than religion because they are vastly different. You may say you have faith. I would ask you, faith in what? Maybe you are religious or spiritual. You may be a Christ follower but are frustrated by your inability to conquer stubborn areas of your life or overcome issues that keep you from experiencing the intimate relationship with God you desire. Come with me and follow me on my journey down this road to victory and freedom."It was for freedom that Christ has set us free."

"I told you I wanted her!"I stepped closer to Blake, who automatically put a protective arm around my waist and hustled me into the car. I strapped the car seat into the middle of the back seat while Blake hurried to the driver's seat and started the ignition. The other officers hung back. The blond one was yelling into the darkness."Why don't you come out and we'll talk?" he suggested.A red dot appeared on the chest of the blond officer, but before I could yell, a blast went off, and the officer crumpled to the ground. I cried out as the second officer dove behind another squad car, firing shots in the direction of the crazed murderer. The squad car became a pincushion for bullets as they riddled the metal.Camilla Robbins lives a quiet life in a cozy neighborhood with her husband and four-month-old baby.
