Psalms 1-24 holds many jewels to be unearthed. In Secret Treasures from Psalms, author Rachel Ryan offers an all-inclusive study and daily devotional that travels through joy and heartache, and distress and victory with David.She shares that what David learns through his experience is what Christians are supposed to learn as well.

He teaches us how to have a closer, more genuine relationship with God and how to rely on God as our source.Secret Treasures from Psalms can be used as a personal Bible study or daily devotion, as a foundation for Sunday school lessons and discussion, or as a weekly or monthly small group Bible study. The full text of scriptures discussed is displayed on the page to make referencing and rereading faster and easier. With reflection included, this guide uses Psalms 1-24 as a treasure map to God's heart toward you and as a key to unlock insight and daily application of concepts that affect your life and community.
In my walk with Jesus Christ for more than two decades now, I have observed that a lot of believers are not partaking of the fullness of all that God has provided for the Church through the death; burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I have not arrived myself but I have left. I have seen God supernaturally bless me over the years and I want to share what I have learnt by the Holy Spirit to you. If God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenly place in Christ Jesus; why is there no manifestation of most of the blessings the bible talks about in the lives of preachers and saints. As we continue to fulfill the Great Commission that has been entrusted to us as workers together with God and stewards of His manifold grace before the return of the Lord Jesus; my goal is to show you how to partake of heavenly blessings; all the blessings that comes with Salvation and be a blessing to the Body of Christ and the unbelieving world; thereby bringing many more sons to the Kingdom of Light; strengthening the weak hands and confirming the feeble knees.
Our current world is chaotic. Violence, racism, immorality, identity confusion, self entitlement, and selfishness are more prevalent than ever before.Our Spiritual enemy, Satan, is camouflaging himself through demonic spirits of addiction, pornography, depression and suicide, trying to deceive and destroy God's people and to hinder the Kingdom of God from progressing forward. The current condition of our world, should cause a Holy indignation to rise up on the inside of Christians. Provoking a fervent and passionate zeal, that brings change and lets Satan know that he can't have our family, our marriage or our God given dreams.Christians can no longer sit on the sidelines of life, being politically correct, agreeing with the twisted morals, values and negative mindset of our society, that's being proclaimed as truth. Queen Esther accepted and passionately pursued God's purpose for her life. She held onto it like a piece of steak between the teeth of a bull dog's mouth and didn't let it go, until she completed it.It's time for Christians to "e;put up or shut up!"e;We must stop chasing the idols and the things of this world that have no eternal significance and when death calls our name, it will not matter. Christians must become "e;Spiritual Gangsters"e; in the sense of pledging an allegiance and commitment to the covenant and personal relationship we have with God, through his Son, Jesus Christ. When Christians walk in the Spiritual authority Jesus Christ gave us, using our spiritual weapons of prayer, fasting, praise and intercession, Satan and his kingdom will be destroyed. Matthew 11:12, (KJV),States,And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Author Faith McClung Kline O'Brien's paternal grandparents, Albert McClung and Mattie Fitzgerald, met at a small, country church in Oklahoma in 1907, the year that territory became a state. Albert's ancestors included Revolutionary patriots "e;Saucy Jack"e; McClung, of Scotch-Irish descent, and Abraham Kuykendall, of Dutch lineage, who, around 1740, relocated from New York to North Carolina, where he settled and accumulated a fortune in gold coins. Mattie descended from two former sea captains who became merchants in Brooklyn, New York-Edward Card from Maine and Nathaniel Grafton from Newport, Rhode Island, whose seafaring ancestors had sailed the Atlantic Ocean since the mid-1600s.In Move On! O'Brien chronicles her extended family's history, with each chapter focusing on one of Albert's or Mattie's seventeen ancestral branches-the Fitzgerald and McClung Clans and their allied lines: the Anthony, Barry, Card, Dods, Forman, Grafton, Kuykendall, Longstreet, Miller, Reid, Thompson, Tidwell, Trigg, Wilbore, and Wyckoff families. Ten of these lines include Revolutionary patriots, and ten have roots in America extending as far back as the 1600s. Move On! tells how descendants of these disparate families met, united in marriage, and eventually became pioneers on the Southwestern prairies.Glimpses of religion in the lives of everyday Americans appear throughout Move On!, which combines genealogical details with personal stories, many taking place during pivotal events in US history.Stories from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries told firsthand by O'Brien's late grandparents help bring Move On! to life through the eyes of real-life characters, her ancestors.

Esther: A Story of Rhythm, Rhyme and Truth is a retelling of the biblical story of Esther in the fun style of rhyme. It sticks to the details of the story and still manages not to betray its form.

The importance of this story has been widely overlooked and this book is hoped to reopen and redirect one's vision to the nuggets of truths "e;for such a time as this."e;
