YOU ARE NOT ALONE: WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, WHEN YOU FACE LIFE CHALLENGES; God sees every detail of what you are facing today. God's resources are unlimited. His words says that His power is made perfect in our weakness, and it's actually in our weakness that He is strong. He is in control and provide strength and solutions in time of crisis. Suffering is part of the general human experience and that it happens to both the righteous and the wicked. Words cannot describe the deep sense of loss. Your past doesn't have to determine your future. Faith works. Never give room for doubt. Wait on the lord. Hope in Him to manifest His plans for your life. There is no battle of life that our God cannot win; He will fight for you if you trust Him. Pray for an unfailing faith that stands strong, because great faith is often build during great trials. We wouldn't be here if God wouldn't create us; we wouldn't live if He didn't sustain us. And we wouldn't flourish if He didn't guild and empower us. Our faith in God may not be great, but our faith is in a great God who will listen and act for us.

I have had the fortune of being utilized in various areas and categories with topics ranging from domestic violence, drug and alcohol addictions, animal abuse, starvation, school shootings, cancer in all capacities and stages of development, as well as the recovery process, but none more important than his ability to let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart magnify his mercy and strength in ANY situation you face. He has allowed me a platform to continuously show him, "Through it all" as I do that which has been instilled in me with "Open Arms" to encourage and esteem my neighbors higher than myself. So shying away from the traditional author pages, my vision is that all readers be lifted up by Him and through Him so that he alone receives the glory, and the cancer, formally known as "the big c" finally gets introduced to a bigger C and meets it's match, which is in Christ, and people begin to trust His power, inspiring truth and willingness to save you from every circumstance as His omnipresence and anointing remains unbeaten and incomparable. You will also witness stories and hear testimonies of people's turnaround from the seemingly irreversible stage four and hospice as his hand journeys through souls of everyday people, patients, physicians and the medications they prescribe in the midst of battling through an ailment Christ already atoned for. My hopes and prayers are for healing spiritually, physically and morally, and that cancer with a little c, is NEVER EVER, referred to as the big "c" again (A Bigger C).

Steve Rondeau left home at sixteen and enlisted in the military at eighteen. When he arrived at Fort Polk, Louisiana, for basic training, Steve had no idea of what was ahead-especially when he realized he had unwittingly signed up for airborne school. Little did he know that he was about to become an airborne ranger who would eventually spend over sixteen years on jump status, become a free-fall instructor at Fort Bragg, and make over two thousand parachute jumps during his twenty-year military career. In a collection of true accounts that span several decades and branches of the military, veterans that include a medic, a first sergeant, and a colonel share fascinating, poignant, and sometimes humorous stories that transport others into chaotic war zones, their experiences running from the enemy, and life in the jungle where they lived out of a rucksack, invited destitute children to be their guides, and encountered eclectic residents. Included are bible verses, reflection questions, and short descriptions of families served by the BT Hero House Foundation. From the Heart of a Soldier shares compelling personal accounts from military veterans that offer a glimpse into the lives and experiences of those who serve our country.

MSG Kennard will help you navigate through the following: Can Christians serve in the Military? What are the pitfalls of military service? What are some great take aways of military service? What about becoming an officer? Should you go active duty or join the National Guard/Reserves?

I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart. (Acts 13:22) Business leaders face perplexing challenges to succeed in the marketplace, they make difficult decisions affecting the lives of their employees, and they inspire their staff to give their best. They experience triumphs and defeats, elation and agony, real wins and real losses. And while the Bible doesn't give us a manual for business leadership, it does give us a window into the heart after God's heart, the heart of King David. He faced similar challenges as a gifted tactician, strategist, and ruler, and he was very far from perfect. As David walked through his leadership challenges and his personal failures, he communicated his heart in his psalms. Many business leaders today apply the principles of the ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu from The Art of War to their business. In fact, legions of Sun Tzu devotees are out there applying the principles of a pagan conqueror to attack the marketplace for personal gain. How much better to consider the brilliance of God's conqueror King David, a man after His own heart? David's psalms are poetic expressions of this heart. Furthermore, his psalms continue to be "living and active" (Hebrews 4:12) as they are indeed part of the living and active Word of God for business leaders today. No followers of Sun Tzu would dare to make such an amazing claim. Business after God's Heart challenges the heart of the business leader to follow after the heart of God, as it is revealed in the psalms of David. And ultimately, as the leader's personal engagement in business flows from this heart, it will yield the fruit of Business after God's Heart.

When times get tough, how can we adequately handle catastrophic loss, pinpoint our true identity, and then find our best path forward? While serving in the US Army, Chaplain (Major) Ret. Paul Lynn set out on a personal quest to help solve the problem of suicide and resiliency in his branch of the military. Eventually, his path led him to a solution: the Resilience Unlimited-Pathfinder Resiliency Tool (PRT), a highly integrated model derived from science, psychology, philosophy, and theology research that provides insight on how to build a resilient mindset, live a unified-focused life, and always find the best path. Throughout his presentation, Lynn shares keys to resiliency that guide others to know who they are spiritually, to be confident in their role identity, and rightly align their psychological identity to attain a supercharged resilient life. Included are appendices that offer structure and pledges to form a Pathfinder Resiliency Group as well as questions for self-assessment. Resilience Unlimited shares a proven tool that leads others through an inspiring roadmap to build personal resiliency within the conditions of life and bring it into a unified focus.

These could have prevented many headaches and problems during the years before. Simple key pieces of wisdom were revealed that improved my interactions, relationships and behavior. The more I learned, the more I realized God truly has an answer for everything from parenting, paying bills, problems on the job and everything in between.

The struggle is real and will test our faith in God, but with some grit and, most importantly, God's sufficient grace, we can survive the storms of life.

"Hi, ma'am. I'm sorry to bother you, but a woman was wandering around your property. She looked lost. She told me she was waiting for a friend named Gayle and that she had dropped her off here. I didn't have the heart to watch the missus stand outside. I offered to let her sit in my car." He pointed toward the squad car and looked down at his clipboard. Flipping pages, he said, "She said her name is ..." He stopped and pointed to a line on his notepad. "Pauline Graham," we said in unison. "So, you know her?" The officer looked at me with cool eyes, smiled, and put down his notepad. "Yes, sir." My voice was shaking. The moment I had waited a lifetime for was finally here, but I didn't know what to do. I was terrified about the thought of meeting her. It had been so many years. I took a deep breath.

Luke 2:35 NIV so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too. Michael Baez, successful author of 'How To Pick Your Bride and How To Keep Her For Life', feels men have wondered about women for ages, many saying and thinking deep inside, "I don't understand her?" Though Baez feels he has explained much about your Bride in his first book, he feels Grooms don't really know their Brides unless they know their Brides' Heart. His new book, 'Her Heart', will give biblical understanding as to why your Bride is the way she is. While you read Baez's book about 'Her Heart', it is hoped you will also discover your heart. To rediscover 'Her Heart', Baez goes straight back to the beginning, possibly uncovering key structures of the heart the way God made them. Baez also hopes to tug your heart in the process, hopefully creating understanding in hearts. Provides key Biblical concepts to open communication and get close, and learn more about your Bride's heart. Baez hopes a reader of his book will become more willing and able to forgive possible discrepancies he finds in his Bride's heart. Better handle marriage situations like an offense the Bride possibly made. With the Groom applying the Christlike examples in this book, it is hoped that upon finishing the book, it will lead the couple toward a stronger more fulfilling relationship. Of course, Baez feels these books he has published with the help of a church, pastors, men's groups, counselor if needed, and the willing effort by the married couple will help the readers to solidify and accomplish a long-lasting marriage. It is hoped with 'Her Heart' and his two other published books: 'How to Pick Your Bride and How To Keep her For Life', a Groom will have the understanding and tools available that are needed to be able to stay married for life.

Praying with Jesus uncovers the four aspects of having a successful prayer life. The main key is realizing that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are with us in prayer. The Scripture in Acts 10:38, talks about how Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power and went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. It is knowing God is with us that will cause us to realize nothing is impossible for us in prayer.

Ten Second Sermons uses a faith-based haiku format to encourage and challenge both individual readers and the church as a whole. Mark Lidtke, a devoted Christian who served as a public middle school teacher for three decades, shares how the Lord has guided him even when he struggled with his faith. As he approached retirement, he found himself in a time of reflection, and he prayed. God was quick to answer, and his faith was ignited as he wrote haikus - something he often used to promote learning as a teacher. In this book exploding with powerful verses, he tackles a number of topics, such as love, empathy, revelation, and how Christians can live for Jesus. The haikus can be used for daily inspiration or as building blocks that will help you celebrate a deepening relationship with Christ. Whether you're struggling with your faith or want to cultivate a connection with God for the first time, this book will inspire you to live your best life.

When Jesus called his first disciples, he asked them, "What are you looking for?" Jesus knew that we are all searching for something: a relationship with God; a grace-filled way of living; and the answers to life's most important questions such as "Who am I?" Too often we seek those answers in the wrong places. We can search the world and come up empty only to find that what we were seeking was inside of us all along. In a part-spiritual autobiography and part-guided meditation, certified spiritual director Mark Ekstrom invites believers to join him on a journey of self-discovery and faith while offering insight into his spiritual ups and downs, doubts, wonderings, and the growth that has brought him to where he is today. Organized as a thirty-day pilgrimage with daily meditations, spiritual seekers are guided through reflection questions, scripture readings, spiritual disciplines, and prayer in order to experience God's love and grace more fully, foster a deeper spirituality, and continue to build a strong personal relationship with God. Experiencing Grace leads believers on an introspective thirty-day journey to encourage an awareness of God not as a theological concept, but as a transforming relationship.
