This book describes the experiences of an Army chaplain who officiated at the first two Memorial Services conducted in the Pentagon after 9/11, and his support to the survivors. On this 20th anniversary year of 9/11, this book seeks to honor and remember those who died on that day, while also honoring and remembering the fallen heroes from all of America''s wars. This book is a call for America: to never forget the over a million fellow Americans who died for their country; and to encourage today''s overworked "all volunteer" military. Stories are included from Chaplain Jenkins service in Iraq, on the staff of General Martin Dempsey, and from his tenure as the Rear Detachment chaplain for the 82nd Airborne Division. With the 82nd, Chaplain Jenkins officiated at over one hundred services for fallen paratroopers. The book traces the struggles, and eventual breakthroughs, of native Americans, Afro Americans, Japanese and Chinese minorities in relationship to military service. Against major barriers, heroic service and sacrifice are seen from these groups. Various vignettes of military heroes, from the 19th century until the present, are described, as a reminder for America to be grateful for the sacrifices of her military. BIOChaplain (Colonel) (Ret.)

The doctor felt with bed rest I should recover quickly. That sounded like good news to me. I was all for a speedy recovery. However, the speedy recovery did not come. I became weaker and weaker each day, with the life edging out of my body. I loved my precious children so much, and only wanted the best for them, but the way my life and marriage had been going, I was not sure I was what they needed. Surely God had a better mother for all six of them! My life was such a bad testimony with two divorces. I began to pray ... "Dear Father, I feel your presence near me, and I know You are my Shepherd and will not leave me as I pass from this life into the next. Lord, if you have a better mother for all these six children, I give them to you." I closed my eyes, feeling the presence of angels all around me, and I felt the Shekinah Glory of the Lord's nearness. I felt myself lifting higher and higher, and felt I would soon be in the presence of the Lord and in God's glorious heaven. I fully trusted God to care for my precious children, and that I would spend eternity with each one of them. When I awakened, I realized I was still in my bedroom ... I felt a surge of energy flood through my body and strength I simply had not had before. I looked up to heaven and said ... "Ok, Lord, I know you have a job for me to do." Beverley Reuland is a retired school teacher, having taught children for 30 years in Christian ministry in Colorado, California, and Nebraska.

Cars can't get up the hill in snow.He completes one hat and, feeling hopeless, tosses the scraps into Freddy's cage. Otto goes to bed and has a nightmare about not finishing the hats. Anxious, Freddy spins on his treadwheel. The red and green yarn scraps get twisted in the treadwheel, creating new yarn. Grandpa Binns discovers this twisted yarn in the morning. Amazed, he knits the hats with it. There were more than enough hats for the carolers, who came to Big Blue to begin their night of caroling. After they left with their new hats, the carolers spread the story of Grandpa and Freddy's twisted yarn. One year later, Grandpa has become more loving; he welcomes trick-or-treaters to Big Blue.

These are not just faces in a yearbook. They are faces in the Book of Life. They are not unlike the many faces you see in school every day. Behind every pair of eyes is a different story - some stories more tragic than others, but all of them familiar. Just to describe a few: Ishmael was kicked out of his home, Esther carried the weight of her family on her shoulders, David felt overlooked, and everyone was talking about Mary behind her back. The God who knew you before you were even a seedling also knew that you would need someone your age to relate to. His Word is not too old or too ancient to reach the troubles you have today. With Scripture readings, lessons, memory verses and journaling, The Bible: Through the Eyes of Teens promises to refresh and encourage your young soul.

In 2013, I went in for an angiogram to determine if I needed a stent for a blocked artery. I clearly remember the doctor halting the procedure with the words "Mr. Sales, you're not getting a stent; you are going to have bypass surgery." I had five blocked arteries! I got a hospital room, but no surgeon. The surgeon they wanted was unavailable. So, there I sat in my room, waiting for my surgery. With five days to wait, I also had plenty of time to pray. I made a prayer request. "Lord, when they take out my heart to do what is needed... put something new in with it." Little did I know, as I began my recovery with long walks on the walking trail that ran behind my house, I was about to discover that something new. I had never written a poem in my life. Then one day, on one of my walks, it came-my first poem. Since then, I have been the recipient of many poems, along with a host of short essays. They have introduced me to twelve faithful friends who both advise and stand guard in my life. They offer inspiration, observation, insight, and wisdom, along with some rhyme. Join me with some of these faithful friends, and let's go for a walk! Michael Sales earned his degree in Business Administration / Accounting from the University of North Texas.

This book is an illustration of Psalm23, "... Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me...". This book shows how God in His great love and infinite mercies took care of a fatherless child in Africa, protected her during the Biafran war, fought for her in the University and finally gave her a home in America!! God is still the great God of wonders who closed the mouth of lions. He is not only the God we read about on the pages of Scripture but the one who has shown up in many supernatural encounters in this book to prove His Name. Jesus is truly the Savior, who changed the author's life, rescued her from bullets in a jungle farm, sent heavenly messengers to her to bring several messages of hope and deliverance, and constantly gave her guidance. God comes through at His time and it wipes away the tears of waiting. We have to set our priorities right: "seeking first the kingdom of God...", walking with Jesus each day, reading the Word and praying regularly so as to be guided. We must invite others to Jesus as we travel to heaven. This book reminds the Body of the renewed call to prevailing prayer. Good success is not measured by how much wealth we amass, but by our faithfulness to Jesus, knowing that this world is not our home. The author also wants to share with the world, God's warning of "an impending doom", the need for sincere repentance and living in daily obedience to Him. In times of fears, Jesus always shows up to deliver even if it seems to delay. The many supernatural interventions in this book confirms this.

Aunque el divorcio me pilló por sorpresa y me cambió para siempre, No hay días normales no solo trata de eso-es mucho más. Se trata de ver la mano de Dios en nuestras vidas saturadas y a veces caóticas. Habla de escuchar su voz y reconocer su gracia en lo cotidiano: desde una lavandería en Alemania a los 19 años, a esquivar baches en camino a Baja California, a mi vida en España, primero casada y después divorciada. Las historias son verídicas, no siempre son bonitas, pero son honestas. Por medio de una narrativa reveladora, a corazón abierto, las personas podrán entender que pueden ser engañadas en cuanto a quiénes son y lo que han creído. A menudo no son tan buenas como pensaban, ni tan santas como esperaban. Pero, cuando abrimos nuestras vidas a Dios, Él aclara quien es y actúa para sanar y ayudar, tocar y liberar cuando menos lo esperamos. ¡Y usa a personas que nunca nos hubiéramos imaginado! A través de estas páginas, te invito a ver cómo Dios entra en escena, obra en nuestras vidas y nos muestra su corazón.

"There is no better way to live than as a disciple of the Lord Jesus. But how do I actually do that? Fr. Stavros Akrotirianakis offers a simple but not simplistic path for those who desire to embark on the greatest adventure of thus life." - Fr. John Riccardo, Executive Director of ACTS XXIX Forty days after His Resurrection from the dead, Jesus gathered His Disciples and "commissioned" them to go out into all the world and spread the Gospel to all nations. Many of them were illiterate fishermen. Not one held a degree from an advanced Rabbinical school. And yet these men took the Christian message and shared it with the whole world. With faith, they changed history and have led billions of people to salvation. We too are enjoined to cultivate disciples. However, before we can make others disciples or spread the message of salvation, we ourselves need to become disciples - students of the Gospel. Before we can become students, we must answer the call to be a follower of Jesus. And before we can become a true follower of Jesus, we have to understand who Jesus is. Engaged: The Call to Be Disciples contains 130 short reflections offering practical instruction on what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. It begins by reflecting on the simple question: Who is Jesus Christ? Fr. Akrotirianakis discusses the costs and benefits of being a disciple. His reflections on prayer and stewardship build to the final section on rallying and sustaining confidence in our Christian walk. Although written by a Greek Orthodox priest, this provocative work offers inspiration for Christians of all denominations of what it means to believe, belong and follow. Father Stavros N. Akrotirianakis is a Greek Orthodox Priest who serves St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Tampa, Florida. He has also authored the books Let All Creation Rejoice: Reflections on Advent, the Nativity and Epiphany; The Road Back to Christ: Reflections on Lent, Holy Week and Pascha; Blessed is the Kingdom, Now and Forever: Reflections on the Divine Liturgy; and Let Us Be Attentive: Reflections on the Sunday and Feastday Scripture Readings of the Orthodox Church. He writes a daily reflection called "The Prayer Team" which can be found at www.prayerteam365.com

Have you ever wondered why people go through the same cycles over and over again in their lives? Are you one of these people? Do you feel trapped and unable to escape the cycles? In Fugitives of the Heart, Thelma Oyesiku reveals the causes of these cycles and demonstrates how they stem from the condition of the heart. Once we really tackle its contents and surrender them, only then can we break these cycles. Fugitives of the Heart reveals how we let our flesh get in the way of our spiritual growth and it gives us tools on how to change that narrative. In order for us to obtain more of God, we need to cut ties with these fugitives that are occupying precious space in our hearts. God has provided everything we need for this life, and we need to start tapping into these provisions fervently to be counted as loyal and devoted sons and daughters of God. We pray that you will take this journey with us to discover these fugitives, displace them and set Jesus as the center of your heart. It is never too late. May God ignite in you a desire to love him more than anything this world can offer! Thelma Oyesiku is an intercessor who loves the kingdom of God.

Siento que fui llamado con una misión en la vida de edificar a otros con la palabra viva de Dios en estos tiempos donde hay dolor en tanta gente perdida. Dios se manifiesta de muchas maneras y en mi caso quiero honrar a todos aquellos que fueron parte de mi crecimiento e incluso sin querer moldearon mi carácter. Siempre estaba abatido y asustado, pero Dios me protegió y me llenó de valor. El dolor y las pruebas me acercaron a Cristo. No tuve una madre ni un padre que me guiara y solo en Cristo obtuve mi cordura, mi identidad, mi coraje y mi fuerza. Siento que Dios me echó a perder. "Mas el Consolador, el Espíritu Santo, a quien el Padre enviará en mi nombre, él os enseñará todas las cosas, y os recordará todo lo que yo os he dicho." JUAN 14:26 RVR1960

I feel that I was called with the mission in life to edify others with the living word of God in these times where there is a pain in so many lost people. God Manifests himself in many ways and in my case I want to honor all those who were a part of my growth and even inadvertently forged my character. I was always downcast and in fear, but God protected me and filled me with the courage. The pain and the processes brought me closer to Christ. I did not have a mother or a father who guided me and only in Christ did I get my sanity, my identity, my worth, and my strength. I feel I was pampered by God. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." JOHN 14:26 KJV

G-MEN was nominated as the up-and-coming ministry of the year in 2001 by the National Coalition of Men''s Ministries. Now, 20 years later, we have compiled the evidence which we believe proves it was and is in fact God''s strategy to save our world! The G-MEN strategy provides a plan for discipling new converts - and now 20 years later, we have the proof! Mapped out step by step, these practical applications bring order, build the church, and take the Gospel to the world. G.F. Watkins is an international leader, speaker, visionary, church planter, and an author of seven books. From his humble beginnings as a high school coach, G.F. went on to plant churches around the world starting with Powerhouse Church in Katy, Texas, Powerhouse Namibia, and Powerhouse Peru. As a spiritual son to the late Dr. Edwin Louis Cole, father of the modern-day men''s movement, G.F. Watkins'' principle of ministry and church planting is the restoration of the world through the restoration of the man. This fundamental belief birthed the worldwide movement known as G-MEN and then as Man Church over 20 years ago. G-MEN strategy and Man Church teach that manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous. It is the foundation on which all of Powerhouse Churches and its covenant churches are built on. Reach the man, change the family; change the family, change the church; change the church, change the community; change the community, change the city; change the city, change the state; change the state, change the nation; change the nation, change the world. It all begins with men taking responsibility for the world around them. After pastoring Powerhouse Katy for 20 years and planting churches around the globe, G.F. stepped into the role of an apostolic leader and coach through his organization The Genesis Team. The Genesis team serves as a covering and a resource to pastors and their families. G.F. travels the world equipping leaders, developing, and growing strong men''s ministries, and impacting the world with the gospel.
