My Life at the Cemetery: It's Not as Dead as You Think is a selection of entertaining and moving stories gleaned from the 12 years author Sandra Kay Doyle worked in the deathcare industry. Some of these stories will make you laugh out loud. Others will elicit tears. Still others will leave you shaking your head in amazement at the wide range of human behavior that rears its head during the stressful times surrounding the death of a loved one. One thing's for sure: death brings out not only the best in people, but also the absolute worst. You'll learn the importance of pre-planning arrangements for your own or a loved one's transition from this world and how doing so will help you sidestep the emotional stress and turmoil that can occur without it. We willingly make plans for our education, careers, weddings, and retirement, but it's a rare person indeed who plans ahead for death. Because death is simply a part of the cycle of life, talking about it and planning for it can bring about healing before the event occurs."This book is warm and touching and will make you laugh and cry."Mary Morrissey, Bestselling Author and founder of Brave Thinking Institute

Manners Do Matter: A Guide for Children, Parents, and Politicians by Linda Waller Holden

The fruit of the Spirit is available for every Christian. It is not exclusive to adults. Children have the ability to tap into every resource and weapon that empower adult Christian lives. In the turbulent times we live in, our children need to be equipped and taught how to use their spiritual weapons instead of their flesh.Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6 KJV)

A self-identified anime geek and introvert, Robert, has also arrived in this strange world full of intrigue and bloodshed. A continual promise of danger looms from the suspicious villagers to the unnamed evil who threatens to destroy all who remain. Mario, Virgil, and Robert are offered a chance to go home, but only if they accept the terms of a mysterious old woman offering them power in exchange for saving her world--Ravena, a terrifying magical world filled with desperate people they cannot trust, especially themselves.

When an El Paso neighborhood begins to have mysterious incidents involving pilfering of dog food, fears start to arise that there may be a bigger plan afoot. How do these nocturnal visits relate to a tree house in the Parkers' backyard?

Christmas is perhaps the most treasured Christian holiday and at the same time, one of the least understood. Research suggests that large numbers of Americans are confused about the central reason for the holiday. Even evangelical believers cannot agree that the birth of Jesus is the most important factor of this national observance. Modern American culture has challenged the religious importance of Christmas. The media and retail stores have helped suppress the religious emphasis by asserting "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas."So, the question is, "What is the truth about Christmas?" Is it found in the season's holiday music? Is the meaning in decorated trees and lighted city streets? Does commercialized gift-giving explain the purpose of the holiday? Perhaps it resides in Santa Claus and his magic-flying reindeer. So, where do we find the value in a holiday titled Christmas? The truth is found in the pages of the New Testament. Angels, shepherds, magi, a Jewish king, and the Roman Empire all play a part in the validity of the holiday.How was Christmas planned in heaven? What does Scripture say about the incarnation? How did the shepherds find the Christ child in the darkness of a city without streetlights? How many magi arrived in Jerusalem to seek the new king? Where did they travel from? Why did they make the journey? What binds all these issues together around the birth of a baby in a small insignificant village? This volume presents the truth about an event the entire world uses to date its calendar.

Dios quiere que todos Sus hijos regresemos a El. El y Sus santos angeles nos esperan para darnos una bienvenida real a su reino de gozo, abundancia y paz. Pero, en un estado impuro, El no puede recibirnos. El trabajo de sanacion del alma debe comenzar aqui y ahora donde sea que el o ella se encuentre. Para poder regresar a Dios, el abandono del yo ego con todas sus artimanas macabras y destructivas a la voluntad divina de Dios se hace necesario.Desde que el primer espiritu se separo de Dios, en la llamada caida de los angeles; ha sido el mas ferviente deseo de nuestro Senor unirnos nuevamente a El, y entregarnos una vez mas nuestro perdido estado de satisfaccion y felicidad, nuestro verdadero patrimonio. Con este proposito fue creada la esfera terrestre para que sirviera como el planeta escuela en donde las almas morarian temporalmente, y se prepararian para este inevitable retorno a su morada eterna desde donde descendieron. En este imperfecto ambiente de dualidad, desafios, confusion, dolor, y sufrimiento, los tambien imperfectos espiritus podian corregir y eliminar sus imperfecciones, pecados o formas erradas de proceder que le separan de su creador. Y al pasar por este proceso de purificacion estar nuevamente listos para reclamar su posicion perdida de hijos e hijas.Desde que el primer ser humano piso tierra, Dios ha querido de nosotros, esencialmente, muy poca cosa. El reclama que nos rindamos a El, que les obedezcamos, y vivamos bajo sus divinas leyes. Esta no es una demanda arbitraria como podria parecer. Para mostrarnos el camino y demostrarnos que esto es posible; desde el principio de los tiempos nos ha enviado sus profetas, su hijo primogenito, Jesus, santos, y muchas diferentes encarnaciones divinas aqui a la tierra. En su trascendental sabiduria nuestro senor sabe que solo amandole a El sobre todas las cosas, y obedeciendo sus leyes universales, tanto como humanamente nos sea posible, podemos permanecer cerca de El y consecuentemente, felices, libres y satisfechos.El trabajo que nos corresponde a todos hacer en este mundo es el trabajo de purificacion del alma; la gran obra de liberar el alma de las ataduras del pequeno ego. Cuando a traves de nuestro propio esfuerzo, sana y armoniosa disciplina, bajo la sublime guia de la intuicion, podamos domar y entrenar nuestro ego a que se someta, rija, y conduzca bajo la voluntad de Dios en vez de la voluntad del yo inferior, la meta habra sido lograda. Podremos en amor, y verdad, unidos a nuestro creador, entrar al reino de los cielos, y disfrutar de todas las maravillas que en El se encuentran. Paz, amor, gozo, radiancia, belleza, abundancia y felicidad sin fin.

As a Christian, do you ever wonder why you still struggle with sin? Are you tired of repeating the same old mistakes? Have you found yourself caught in a seemingly never-ending cycle of habitual sin and shame? Are you tired of the feelings of defeat and long for the freedom, peace, and victory promised in being a new creation? Then it's time to face him. He is called the old man, the old self, or our old nature. We all have one. Are you ready to look him in the eye? Are you ready to fight him? Are you ready to live free? Let it begin today. It's time to kill your old man and be the person God sees in you."Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him" (Rom. 6:6-8).

I have written this book for you! As you journey through life's distractions, you will need to be equipped with understandings which will guide you in making decisions. This will help you know who God is and what He wants you to be: His disciples. Your life, as it spreads over years, matures as should your understanding of Christ. While the Bible speaks of us becoming mature (i.e., Luke 8:14; Hebrews 5:14, 6:1; Colossians 1:28; Ephesians 4:13; James 1:4), this book lays a solid foundation to that end."Not that I have already attained all this or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." This gives me grace, direction, and hope. Philippians 3:16 encourages us to "live up to what we have already attained."So I challenge you to grow in your understanding, and I offer this book as an aid, a flashlight in dark times.

As we enter a Community of Faith for the first time, we are naturally drawn to a shared spirituality. It may be a congregation, synagogue, mosque, or temple. It is shared spiritually of the people at prayer which attracts us and draws us to unite with others in prayer. There are three shared stands of any Community of Faith: their shared faith tradition, the culture of the community, and the personalities of the members.This book examines the elements of tradition, culture, and personal temperament to determine how the three become spiritually integrated at the moment of prayer. The conclusion is that through an explicit assessment of these three elements, members of the faith community can enrich their personal spiritual life, resulting in spiritual growth and can ultimately revitalize the spiritual prayer life of the community of faith.The books is a spiritual intervention of a Presbyterian congregation in Central New York in the 1980s. I'm grateful for the prayer group that committed there Wednesday nights during 1986. This is their story of how they were able to revitalize the spiritual life of a 150-year-old three-hundred-member Presbyterian congregation.

When you look at the life of Ben Davis, you'll see a man with a heart of gold. He's the perfect husband, the best example of a father you'll ever find, a great friend, and a man who loves God and wants to serve him. He seems to have his life together on the outside. He's reliable, fun-loving, patient, kind, respected, accountable, an exceptional role model, and a vital part of his church and family.What Ben feels, though, and what God knows is that Ben Davis has the same struggles and challenges that everyone else has. He doubts his decisions, second-guesses his ideas, and sometimes makes mistakes. If left to do what he wanted, Ben feels that on his own, he would fail every time. With the partnership of a precious wife whom he adores, a great son who looks to him for spiritual direction, and a sweet and hilarious little girl who lights up his world and brings an abundance of joy to his life, Ben has help. But no matter how much help he gets from his family, Ben knows his best help is to rely on God for wisdom and a lot of grace and mercy.Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked who can know it?" Things usually work out, and Ben comes out looking like a good guy, and God is glorified, but most of the time, he's glad not everyone can read the heart of Ben Davis.

The author of I'm Just a Teacher shares his love of teaching, his passion for learning, and his art of building relationships with students and their families. As a highly imaginative, innovative, and award-winning educator with over fifty years of experience his remarkable lifelong goal has been "To Reach Out, Touch Others, and Make a Difference." Over the years, he has developed a unique and highly motivational system of project-based learning and assessment with multiple pathways, fostering greater student engagement and success.Today, teachers face angry and hostile citizen groups; a merciless, raging pandemic; encounter a lack of respect and waning trust while the nobility of the profession has been run aground. For public school teachers, some career politicians bent on their unwavering agendas to abandon and bury public education is a continual threat. The shortage of teachers is seriously rampant and shortchanging students while overworking current educators. The vital academic freedom needed to teach and make a difference in the lives of students is replaced with forced data collection for political reasons.The author insists that in spite of these challenges to the profession, educators wear many hats and are masters of multitasking. Indeed, learning can become fun, and in his teaching bag, the use of humor is a key methodology. Learning can be exciting, entertaining, and challenging in creating a positive and proactive learning environment. Knowledge of aikido instills in him a sense of calm, confidence, and control in the face of adversity. It is turning anguish into positive action. It enables him to be in charge of the situation and not the situation in charge of him. To this day, the author firmly believes in teachers, trusts in teachers, and applauds teachers that shower students with praise, compassion, solid example, and instill hope for a brighter future while unleashing student imagination.
