Some things stay frozen in time. Memories. Histories. Even murder. Newly-promoted Florida state police investigator, Veronica Fox, enjoys the challenge of her new job investigating her department's ages-old, unsolved "cold cases," many of which go decades back, with little to no evidence, but a great deal of mystery. When she receives a case call from a woman named Chloe Avery, whose college professor father was murdered thirty-five years earlier, in a case that remains unsolved and is so cold it's practically frozen in ice, Veronica and her partner, Rex Jenkins, are thrown into a wild hunt for evidence to apprehend a prime suspect, as other victims, with eerily similar murders, are found along the search. In author Luke King's fast-paced detective novel, Frozen Justice, readers are taken on a race against time for disappearing clues and deteriorating evidence, always pressing toward the ever-crucial goal of confirming Investigators Fox and Jenkins' suspect suspicions. Their journey must stop a serial killer's nearly four-decade-long spree, putting a vicious criminal behind bars forever. But can they find enough evidence in time to unfreeze the case and bring the victims' justice? Luke King was born New York City. Growing up, he was fascinated with mysteries and detective stories. He has been a United States Marine and a Florida police officer. King currently lives in Florida with his family, who infuse his life with humor and inspiration. Frozen Justice is his first novel.

Once someone is saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, how are they able to make theological decisions about what they believe as a Christian? How can Christians have assurance and security of their salvation, and by what beliefs and principles should they choose to live their lives? The answers to these questions and many more depend on a strong understanding of God's Word and knowledge of the specific theological systems that best represent God's message in the Bible. In his enlightening and informative guide, Salvation and Christian Theology: A Comparison of Protestant Theological Systems, author Jack K. Mayfield gives readers a detailed comparison of the characteristics of a variety of Protestant Christian theological systems, including each system's views on human redemption. First conceptualized during the author's seminary studies as a resourceful handbook for Christians struggling to understand historical church theologians/theology, Mayfield designed this guide with the goal of aiding Christians in choosing the theological system that best matches their beliefs. The text covers numerous theologies, including Calvinism, Lutheranism, Arminian, Wesleyan, and Free Grace systems, and includes useful supplemental tools to aid the readers' study, including a glossary of theological terms, charted breakdowns of various theological systems, and an extensive list of theological concepts found in specific Scriptures, with over 3,400 footnotes to support Mayfield's research. The author's goal is to give Christians a better foundation for finding a theological home for their beliefs, which in turn will influence their Christian mission and lifestyles choices.

En Diálogos con la Teología. Reflexiones sobre la familia cristiana, la ética bíblica y la vida de Jesús, Marta Cisneros, graduada de la Licenciatura en Teología de la Universidad Teológica New Orleans, diserta sobre cuestiones bíblicas universales: las relaciones que se han establecido desde un punto de vista socio-histórico entre la moralidad y los presupuestos bíblicos; la naturaleza del Ministerio Cristiano como eje central de la Iglesia y reservorio vital de la voluntad divina; las profecías a través de la voz de diferentes profetas, en diferentes lugares y épocas; las diversas asunciones del tema de la ética en los textos bíblicos y en la cristiandad; los argumentos bíblicos que contradicen la postura secular con respecto al aborto y el comienzo de la vida humana; los conceptos sobre la familia cristiana, aplicados específicamente al matrimonio de los creyentes; la mayordomía cristiana; los acercamientos teológicos sobre el Nuevo Testamento; las etapas de la vida y hechos del Señor Jesús y las representaciones del Espíritu Santo en los textos bíblicos y su aprehensión en la práctica cristiana contemporánea. Sin duda alguna, el presente libro contribuye no solo a la discusión académica en torno al complejo ejercicio de la hermenéutica bíblica, sino también puede servir de material base de estudios para cualquier futuro teólogo o estudioso de la Palabra de Dios.

Sure, everyone has a story to tell so let me share my truth. A TRUTH that has opened me up and allowed me to begin to heal. A truth that has made me face my demons, yet a truth that God is allowing me to share so that you too can allow your truth to set you free as mine have. Just what is it about the truth many do not like facing? I've learned that ONLY the truth will set you free no matter how ugly it is. It then not only becomes the truth but the UGLY truth which brings about the freedom we all so rightfully deserve and a conscience-free life. One should never be ashamed about what they've been through. Life has not always dealt us a fair hand. We take what we have been through to help others to get through in life. BE FREE! Emily, a 47-year-old North Carolina native, a survivor, an overcomer, wife, mother, now grandmother of five adorable grandchildren brings to you a very powerful memoir of her own TRUTH.

Emily has been inspired to write her second book by seeing and realizing how many people go around on a day-to-day basis hiding behind scars that eventually destroy them if not healed from them. Emily was once that person so writing this book not only has helped her to heal, but her prayer is that it will help others to no longer hide behind their scars, heal, and live within their truth as well.

There is considerable debate related to the Rapture of the Bride of Christ. Will Jesus catch-up His Bride prior to the beginning of the Tribulation, or will the Bride endure the Tribulation and be punished with the world to be purified and tested? God has two purposes for the Tribulation Period: Instruct Israel and the world and punish Israel and the world. In addition, to discussing the Prewrath and Pretrib positions, this book will provide information to answer the main driving question in this book: "How did we get here from there?" One position is rooted in speculation, flawed hermeneutical systems, and results in heresy; the other is founded on two principles of absolute truth that are found in Genesis Chapter 18 and First Timothy 5:8. The reader is encouraged to appeal to the Holy Spirit to reveal which one is the truth and which one is not. Dr. Rickman is a stripper's son and was taught every dysfunctional habit a mother could teach her son. Through God's help, he overcame many obstacles which have been detailed in his book The Stripper's Son.

Dr. Rickman possesses three degrees from accredited universities, has pastored four churches, and is currently a missionary to Thailand. Dr. Rickman has authored more than 20 books publishing three and has been working as a freelance editor for the Buriram University in Buriram, Thailand. While there are no experts in the field of theology specifically eschatology, Dr. Rickman labored for just under five years to produce this work hoping to expose error and teach truth related to the Pretribulational Rapture of the church.

In the middle of Nebraska, in the middle of the United States, almost 100 years ago, GG was a girl called Caroline Mae.

Though his sessions with his counselor, Francis shares his struggles with obesity and depression, and rediscovers his strengths, hopes, and passion for life. He learns to value and love the man that he has become.

Life is a string of everyday memories, collected and strung together like a necklace of fine pearls. From Sunrise to Sunset, we make memories that are stored in the intricate corners of the beautiful minds which God gave us. When we take those remnants of thoughts and connect them with carefully selected scriptures, it builds new spiritual memories not easily forgotten. Inside the inspiring pages of her twenty-one day devotional and journal, "MAKE A MEMORY EVERY DAY" Volume 1: God's Word Changes Your Life, author Jerilyn Pallesi Von Flue pulls you in, as a reader, with her own favorite "fine pearl" memories, combining them with powerful passages of Scripture, all to make a lasting impression on your minds. In addition, these entries encourage you as a reader to make your own new memories from this devotional. Each daily devotional also includes a "Take Time to Pray" and "Challenge" section to better initiate you in your journey to become more personally in tune with God, cultivate a stronger relationship with Him, and flex your "memory muscles" by taking the challenge to memorize the daily scriptures, then journal your own thoughts for further meditation. Jerilyn created this book from God's spiritual seeds that were planted in her life as a small child, and now harvested as an adult. Sharing memories from the heart in this book might seem a difficult task, but God can and will do for you, the same thing He has done for her. If talking to you personally, she would tell you it takes your trust and obedience, love, faith, courage and being intentional to follow him......

"Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools (common men with no educational advantages), they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus," (Acts 4:13). Upon a close study of the verse above, and countless others like it found in the Bible, you can clearly see that the Bible is full of what author Doug Johnson likes to call the "Barnyard Gospel." In Scripture, Jesus taught with and used very simple examples and parables, often using such things as rocks, trees, rivers, fields, seeds, in addition to all sorts of animals -- from sheep, lambs, wolves, snakes, birds, and even donkeys - to speak about God's kingdom. If God used a donkey to send us a message, then He can certainly use us to speak through too! In his profound memoir, GOD'S in the People Changing Business, author and pastor Doug Johnson gives readers his special brand of colloquial and spiritual experiences. Johnson provides a conversational, layman's biblical analysis and commentary, supported by the lessons learned from his own life's story as a self-proclaimed, hardworking "redneck." In these enlightening and light-hearted pages, the author also gives readers ample evidence (along with a good dose of old-fashioned country wit and humor!) of the truth behind his powerful theme that "God is in the people-changing business." Formerly living a "non-spiritual" life, and not having attended church for his first thirty-seven years, God planted a seed in Johnson's heart, harvesting him as a pastor into a changed life for Christ. The stories found inside will encourage, inspire, and help show readers that what God has done in the author's life, He can do for everyone. For He truly is the ultimate General Manager in the people-changing business.

The Steward of speech is "the" book, like no other, that will lead the readers into a "recovery of speech." Most do not realize that the enemy has you bound by your very own words. You have been speaking words that are pleasing to him, he has corrupted your speech. He knows he can blame you, after all that would be your "testimony." You must realize that your words are powerful, creative, and restorative. You have been given the divine gift of speech in the image of your creator. He framed the entire universe with words. If you only knew the damage you have caused yourself, your loved ones, and others by your words you would turn it around. This book will reveal to you how to recover your divine gift. It did it for me, and it will do it for you.

Life is hard. Life is messy. In today's fast paced world it can be so tough to slow down and appreciate the journey along the way.

James 5: 16 says, 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." So, why is it Christians do not pray? Is it because they do not know the right words to say or they do not have enough time? Is it because they feel their prayers are not answered? Powerful Prayers, New Testament Edition is a tool to help put all these excuses to rest. Walk with us through the Bible reading prayers that will help you maneuver through some of the experiences you may have faced in life. Prayer is personal and powerful. When prayer is presented, it will be answered. God has guaranteed it. The power is not in the words. The power is in the One to whom we pray. As believers we should pray without ceasing. Unfortunately, prayer has become the stepchild of the Christian faith when it should be the foundation. As believers, we must understand how critical the daily discipline of prayer is to living a saved, satisfied and secure life. Teron V.

Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." He also taught us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." Oftentimes bread is available to us and in our possession, but we can't decide what to eat. Bible reading can sometimes be like that. Our appetites constantly change, and we need and enjoy variety in our spiritual diet. In I'm Trying to Help Somebody, Rodrick A. Smith wants to provide a balanced diet of daily spiritual nourishment. These daily devotions serve as a source of encouragement, inspiration, warning, and rebuke; that's the variety. They are expositional, practical, and portable. One devotional is written from each chapter of John's gospel through the book of Revelation. Prayerfully read and be helped. I'm Trying to Help Somebody is an inspiring read for Bible enthusiasts on every level. To have these carefully written notes is valuable to the shelves of every Christian's library.

This Book is written to give you confidence in God's promises, and help you understand what kind of stock the LORD bought. You do not belong to yourself. You were given away by your elder brother-Adam. He'd given his authority and inheritance away to Satan by being disobedient to God, without even knowing it. Therefore, while in the genealogy of mankind, you need to know if you still belong to Satan; or, if you've heard the voice of the Good Shepherd and came back to Him. This is written to provide encouragement and practical wisdom to help you discover if you are-His stock. He is Lord of the Harvest! His stock is a New Believer in Christ. Hopefully, reading this will give you assurance, and help you get to know that some of His stock strolled away and became lost as they were tempted, due to the lust of their eyes, lust of their flesh, and the pride of life. Fortunately, the Lord helped Joyce come to know-while reading the Bible and meditating on His Word, that He was always there for her. She found out that she's His stock and He's her Good Shepherd. Inside this book His promises are made known, and the Kingdom of God is revealed. I'm praying that you will be qualified to be in God's presence and bow down before His throne. Are you qualified to enter His presence? Please return God's investment in you-through Christ; and see how He will open His windows of blessings for you, while walking by faith in His Word. This will help you discover your path to victory and where you will spend eternity. God paid "The Right Price" to save you.
