The Word of God teaches us to put on the whole armor of God, which is our defense against the attacks of our Enemies, who threatens our spiritual lives on a daily basis. Among our impenetrable amour is the sword, which is symbolic of the Word of God. But in order for us to take up and wield our sword in a manner that honors the severity of the battle, we must first understand the fundamentals of Scripture. After becoming a believer at the age of thirty-eight, Robert L. Carroll became filled with the need to leave what he has learned of the Word's truth for those around him once he's joined the Father in Heaven. His work, Sharpen Your Sword, was written with both the new and seasoned believer in mind. As a newborn baby knows nothing of the world immediately, Carroll begins this journey of faith with readers as if they are just being born into truth of God's Word. Carroll walks readers through the requirements of being a believer of the Word of God. He does so by establishing the validity of the Scriptures, who we are as a people and how we got here, Who God is, our relationship with Him, and many other key topics relevant to the Christian walk. Of the many gospels being preached worldwide, only one is true, and it is revealed in the Word of God, the message of Jesus Christ as read in Scripture. New and old believers alike are being deceived by false preaching, leading many to wrongly believe that they have been saved. However, the only true path to salvation is laid out in the Word, and Carroll hopes to help all who desire it to correct their course.

I started my walk with Jesus Christ at the age of 20 and depended on Him for everything. Being dependant on God is a hard life but also a great life because you must learn how to hear His voice. God builds faith in you from struggles, that increase in intensity with age. I was in the worst trials of my life, 3 at the same time, my mother was passing away, my business was in a nosedive from the 2008 crash and my wife and I were going through a tough time in our relationship. I was sitting in my study frozen with discouragement when I heard the Lord's voice. This book is the awesome thing He revealed to me at that moment. I was slow to believe it, but God was patient and faithful to confirm it to me. A descendant of some of the Founding Father's of America. My mother's and my father's families go back to the mid-1600s. They came from England and their descendents fought in every war and at least 3 of them were signers of the declaration of Independence. My and father had generational faith in God, and depended on Him for provision and guidance. My Dad was a world War 2 vet, who was a Medic and a Liberator, who developed his faith during the war. His faith saved his life and the lives of many people. My dad also started a concrete contracting business which I started working in at the age of 15. I got married at 19 and went into business at 24. I enjoyed playing hockey for 30 years. I never thought I would write a book, but God's awesome Revelation inspired me to share it.

Scout wanted his own legacy. His grandfather Simon seemed immortal. His prodigal father Stone hoped his son wouldn't make the same mistakes, but pride clouded Scout's heart until he journeyed to Tiberias where he was met with new experiences, former friends of his father's, and one tiny wonder of a girl he saw at the port one morning. This is where his trouble began. Lydia would be waiting for their engagement to be announced, but Pella, the girl from the docks showered him with care when circumstances left them in danger. His return home brought shock and anger. He was alone and Pella remained in Tiberias. Traveling back for her brought more disappointment. God simply wasn't speaking and he thought his family's legacy would end. He couldn't understand why God was silent. He was Scout. A greater inheritance was realized one starry night, but Scout remained alone until the watchman saw a small child making her way to his village.

The Selah Series speaks to the heart of Christianity for believers today. Linda BenedictWomen's Ministry, Harvest Church of South Florida

For Arnell Livingston, growing up in the 1980s and 90s in the slums of Los Angeles felt like a scene from a suspenseful, traumatic movie plot. Drugs, crime, and gangs surrounded him, engulfing his entire inner-city neighborhood. Coming from a single-parent household fueled by government assistance, the odds were against Arnell from the very beginning. But his story proves that dire statistics for young, black, inner-city men in America can be proven wrong, and that they can rise above the circumstances of difficult upbringings. Reflections unfolds inside chapters composed from Arnell's therapy sessions, and this highly-personal work of creative fiction is inspired by author Demetrius Ford's own experiences, challenges, and circumstances. Arnell struggles with relationships, his sexuality, and trust; however, with the loving help of his budding Christian faith, friends, and Mr. Riley, his therapist, Arnell is brave enough to reflect back on the past thirty years of trials, tribulations, and uncertainty. He chooses to rise above all, and carve out a new life, strong and beautiful. This is the inspiring story of a black man coming from humble origins, with all odds against him, who chooses to not let his sordid past define him and his future, a man who chooses to become a non-profit organization founder, and a powerful success story within his whole community.

Looking through the eyes of a colt born crippled in a herd of wild horses, children can learn valuable life lessons, while the colt learns them too. Stumble did not understand what he felt was his mother's over-protection until it saved his life during a very frightening time. Through the eyes of others, he learned to see that there was much more to him than his disability. I can never remember a time I did not love horses. My mother told me, "We really had to watch you when you were little; you would have gone with anyone who promised you a horse." One of Daddy's cousins was a rancher named Mel. Of all his cousins, Mel was my favorite, because he had cattle and horses. I married a Colorado cowboy, and we had a small horse ranch. Having those horses up close and personal only made me love them more. They are beautiful on the outside, and on the inside, they are loving, loyal, and smart. They communicate very well when one takes the time to understand. My son, Coleman Walker, and daughter, Twyla Collins, are amazing trainers and riding instructors. I dedicate this story to them.

For years, I congratulated myself for my intelligence, and ability to understand the Bible.

"Am I called?" is the question we often ask at some point during our Christian journey. It is a question that most believers struggle to answer, not exactly knowing how one can tell if they've truly been called by God to serve in the ministry. Or, has anyone ever told you that you were called by God? Have you ever felt the weight of that statement as so overwhelming that you didn't know what you were supposed to do with it? As you dive into author and pastor Terry Linscott's enlightening Am I Called? How to Determine What Comes Next, you will learn how to distinguish different callings within the body of Christ, and become more equipped to confidently know your answer to this all-important, life-changing question. During his thirty years of church life and ministry, Pastor Linscott watched many people's faith become "shipwrecked," because they did not know their true calling, or were seeking a self-proclaimed calling, not ordained or graced by God. The author designed this book to illustrate the basic principles behind discovering the gifts and "call" of God internally for readers. Its purpose is to show how we all already have everything we need for life and godliness when we have knowledge of God and His Word. There is no time like the present to discover your life's true "yes," and boldly travel to your purpose and destiny! Terry Linscott is the pastor of Abundant Life Church in Radcliff, KY.

This book touches on what I believe, are main points of the Bible in the development of mankind. There may be parts that you would like to explore deeper in the Bible. I included book, chapter and verse before each sentence that comes from the Bible. This will give you a place to start. As in the days of Noah, God told Noah to build an ark because God was going to destroy the earth. God will tell Jesus that he has seen and heard enough prepare for your "Second Coming." The rapture of the "First fruits of God will come." The Last days on earth will eventually happen. As in the days of Noah, the Lord will get tire of the sinfulness of mankind. The rapture of the church will come. This will be the end. When will these events come to pass, there is no way to know. That decision is in the hands of the Lord God. If you do not want to know the truth about how the world will end, do not read the last chapter. The proof is recorded in the Bible and will be revealed as it unfolds in this book.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system. The immune system begins attacking the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibers, demyelinating them and causing nerve damage to the brain and spinal cord, and this often leaves the body fatigued and unable to perform certain functions. Though this disease is considered a rarity, those who are diagnosed with MS often suffer painful and debilitating symptoms. Renee Lewis was no exception. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of twenty-five, Lewis embarked on arduous journey toward relief. For seventeen years, she worked with doctors, seeking conventional treatment amidst her suffering, but it was not until her last MS exacerbation that she said to God, "I cannot live like this anymore. Show me another way," to which God said, "I cannot heal what you cannot reveal." Lewis quickly began researching alternative medicine, taking a faith-based and holistic approach to healing, and soon, she found herself on the road to overcoming her disease. In Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis, Renee Lewis gives her testimony as an overcomer to encourage others suffering through illnesses of their own. Her Christian background helped her stay grounded in her faith to believe for a miracle despite her lifelong struggle with multiple sclerosis. Above all, she emboldens readers to put their health first and to trust God, as He always knows what's best even when we feel nothing makes sense.
