What would you do if your life as you knew it changed overnight? Suddenly you went from being the poster child of perfect health to living a medical nightmare day after day for years. Would you hold steady in your faith? Or would you begin to question God's plan? My fight through Acute Myeloid Leukemia was not easy, there were days when my faith was tested more than I ever imagined it could be. I was blessed to have a loving family by my side throughout my entire journey. I discovered that my unexpected battle with cancer and the aftermath has shaped me into the mother, wife, and daughter I am today. A person that I could have only dreamed of becoming. I value each and every smile from my children, try to spread compassion and love around like sprinkles. Treat each and every day as a genuine gift from God. I experienced what it felt like to be at death's doorstep. It was extremely lonely and scary. No amount of money or power could change my predicament. I remember lying in my hospital bed at night praying to God with all my might. "God if I make it through this nightmare, I promise to love and cherish every second with my children. I will be patient and kind. I will cherish every breath I get to take on Earth." Well, I tried. I have come to realize I am far from being a perfect mom, wife, daughter and Christian. To this day I still make mistakes and say things I wish hadn't. I continue to fight and strive to be the very best version of me I can possibly be. I am sharing my story of overcoming horrible odds with the hopes of passing on encouragement, faith and love for our Almighty God. It was my Faith and God's Will that brought me through these past four years. I hope my story encourages you to never give up when you are faced with a personal battle. Whether it be a disease or illness, divorce, or layoff it is faith in God, laughter, and baking that will see you through. When you keep God at the top of your daily to do list, and you care for others, you will g Tracy Kearcher lives with her husband, daughter, son and dog Dexter, her one year old rescue in Ellington, Connecticut.

This story is about a small denomination, the Evangelical Methodist Church (EMC), founded in 1946 at a prayer meeting in Memphis, TN. Dr. Hamblen, who had left the Methodist Church (presently the United Methodist Church), was asked to form a new holiness denomination. His prayer was, ''Lord, if this movement is of you, let it grow; if not, let it die". Dr. Hamblen''s prayer is still facing the denomination after 75 years of victories and challenges.Methodism in America is a laity denomination. The church began as Methodist laypersons immigrated to America. The first Societies in America included active participation by people of African and European descent.The EMC attempted to combine the Methodist Episcopal Book of Discipline with Baptist congregational elements. The theology was correct, but the organizational structure of a congregational-connectional is the nemesis. This book traces the EMC story with an honest view of the ''sin in the camp'' and the victories of mission expansion. The prophetic thread calls the EMC General Church to repentance and renewal, echoing in our ears the voice of Dr. Hamblen, ''let the movement live or let it die'' according to God''s plan. A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, Dr. Edward Williamson knew he was called toministry when he was only a teenager. He followed that vision to Teen Challenge, aministry to drug addicts in New York City. Dr. Williamson is married to Gilda Day andaccomplished educator and artist.

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.

"I believe God assigned me to write this book so He could take it to everyone across the planet to help them get His foundation in their lives.

This book gives us conclusive proof, of the SOUND of the sacred name of God. No more guessing, speculating, conjecture, or assumptions, just facts. You may be surprised to find out that his name has been hidden in plain sight. Once we've found the SOUND of his name, we've actually found his name, because a name is a SOUND and then we can share the SOUND/name with others. Some things are hidden in simplicity.

Have you ever wondered about your spiritual destiny and purpose in this life?

Paul reveals these spiritual gifts are people anointed to be apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists, and teachers in his letter to the Ephesian church. These equipping gifts are called to prepare and equip the Body of Christ to enter eternity with God. Join Valerie on this journey to unlock the knowledge of the spiritual gifts freely given to us by Jesus Christ.

Just as a kernel of corn is broken by a root- the radicle- so it can be nourished and multiplied, we too are designed to live broken and continually dependent on Jesus. In this collection of devotional thoughts, Curtis Stevens richly shares from his life experiences what it looks like to walk with purpose, hope and joy when we "get to" be in relationship with Jesus.
Through this collection of poems I am attempting to tell a story of life. This story is about my deep seated faith, and the reverence I have for God and his marvelous creation. In this book I am trying to underscore the virtues of redemption, hope, love, growth, truth and friendship. In my genuine effort to capture the humanity of my story, I felt compelled to address the fallibility of man so, sensitive issues like rejection, helplessness, brokenness, lying, hate and injustice had to be highlighted. This book seeks to remind us that, even with all the negativity, and the challenges of humanity, we can still see and feel the emblematic touch of God all around us. There are victories in the waiting so, we cannot lose hope. Hope safeguards one's life against despair and centers it on the endless possibilities of God. My life is a story well worth the living, because I have been blessed beyond measure. I was born in Jamaica, but I have spent the greater part of my living in southern Florida. I have been married to the same wonderful woman for thirty three years. Our lives have been sweetly enriched by our two lovely daughters and one exceptionally adorable grand daughter. I really enjoy putting my thoughts on paper, either in poems or songs. I am so inspired by the natural beauty I see all around me. I also carry a heavy burden for those who are victims of hate and injustice, advocating on their behalf will probably be the endeavor that guides my writing career.

Women have been told for centuries by others who God says they are and the roles they should play in our society. This is a journey outside your Sunday school, one size fits all teaching. This is a journey into the things we have been told are not acceptable to share. This is a journey into the life of a woman who broke societies molds, statistics, and views. This is your journey into what God says about the woman He created. This is your journey into finding H.E.R. I was born and raised in Florida and currently reside there with my family. Writing has been a passion of mine since my elementary school years. As women we get caught up in the society and even the churches view of who we are supposed to look like and be. I wanted a way to tell women that God made them for so much more than appeasing these views and standards.

People in general seem to not focus on the most important thing in life. we have a tendency to not care about life after death even though we have been urged to seek first the kingdom of God and his Righteousness. I remember as a fourth grader to find the reason for my existence . I could not accept the fact that I had been created and allowed to live and then exist anymore. My second desire was to become a Dentist so I could help people . I accomplished both. I learned how to receive eternal life and how to share this very important information to others while giving God the Gory for all he has done.

The Chronicles of Mikey & Me took shape over 10 years in the life of our first family Labrador. From his first days as a puppy to his final moments, he showed himself to be an alpha-male canine. I had to learn how to work with him and shape him into a suitable hunting partner. Or was it he who shaped me? The seminal stories from that time remain fixed in my memory to this day. To bring them back to life now on these pages, will I hope add to the body of knowledge about working and struggling with the character and nature of a supremely gifted canine -who had a very unique temperament.

On April 12, 1972, twenty-three-year-old Susan Brotherson found herself in a situation she never thought she would be in. A single mom facing an unexpected pregnancy without the support or funds needed to raise another child, she felt that abortion was her only option. Motivated by fear and shame, she underwent the procedure. She didn't realize, however, how lasting and devastating the effects would be. Redemptive Love by Susan Brotherson is an inspiring book which follows the author's journey of healing and transformation after abortion. Detailing the emotional pain she experienced in the years after, Susan describes how the enemy tried to derail her faith with lies and accusation but that through finding a supportive church and receiving baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues, she gained the spiritual strength to overcome and began to seek opportunities to help other women who were dealing with the aftereffects of abortion and prevent others from making the same decision she did. Throughout the book, the overarching theme of how God put Susan's broken pieces back together rings true, with the Lord revealing to her that she had been carrying twins and giving her the opportunity to encounter them in the heavenly realm and name them. Susan's testimony is a powerful one that reminds readers that God is good and faithful to bring healing to every area of our lives and restore our joy when we surrender to Him, and through her words, readers will be encouraged that it's not too late, they aren't beyond saving, and their story isn't over.
As a person of faith, we believe in the things we cannot see. We believe in God. We believe in eternal life. We believe in the soul of human beings. In the rational world, we believe that one plus one equals two. However, there is something within us that compels us to believe that one plus one also equals three. I believe that unity will one day come from diversity. It is my hope that more of us, will release our blind trust in rules and politics. That we will painfully and faithfully unpack the reality of race, the social construct, that puts one against the other, and begin to see that in the landscape of the US there is really just us. While we all seek to negotiate this short path we call life, may we long to live and love like Jesus, til the war is won. Dr. M.

What happens to seed when planted in fertile soil? In a natural sense when a farmer plants seed in fertile soil, he expects his crop to yield fruit according to the seed planted. The soil was chosen by the farmer as was the seed. When a farmer plants he expects the seed to germinate and grow and eventually produce fruit. Fruit that could be counted for some hundred, some sixty, and some thirty. God who we can say is the farmer has chosen the soil and called it "good ground" meaning as a believer "I was predestined". "He predestined us to be adapted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will" Ephesians 1:5 (KJV). Similar It was the pleasure and will of plant seed, in his chosen soil, expecting to yield fruit. So, Jesus chooses the same analogy for those who are called, choosing to plant his "word" on the fertile soil "me" and every other believer. The book will contain how the word of God which is seed has grown and will continue to grow as it bears more fruit. Even as the farmer expects to yield fruit because of his investment "labor" so does Father God expect for every believer to yield him a return, and the return is fruiting some hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty. The Father in Faith expects His children to produce what He hopes for, meaning He expects us to bear fruit. The evidence not seen by His children, however seen by God the Father. Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1 (KJV). The seed planted in choice soil will produce fruit. This author being "good ground" received the seed, heard the word of God and understood it which bear fruit and brings forth some a hundred, some sixty some thirty Matthew 13: 23 (KJV). The book contains the evidence of seed being planted in good ground. Margaret Majors is a teacher, a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her ongoing learning is equivalent to the progression of life. Like the life that is in a seed when it is planted in fertile ground and given the necessary sun/son needed for it to grow! Inspired by my heavenly Father to write about the evidence seen from this walk of faith he has for all His children. One of Margaret's main investment of time is enjoying uninterrupted time with Him. Followed by the time with her husband especially on our weekly date night that we have kept with for years, being the proof and evidence of our love affair for 35 years. Margaret has been a teacher of children all her adult life and more recently has earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Educational Studies, Form Grand Canyon University in Phoenix Arizona.

With his ailing parents and three younger siblings needing assistance, he is faced with the difficult decision of becoming their caregiver or of just moving on living his own life. As he embarks on the journey of caregiving, David faces many challenges and struggles along the way bringing him to a point of frustration and discouragement where he wanted to quit. Until one day, David receives help from an old friend which enables him to be encouraged, strengthened and have the renewed faith and love to fulfill the ministry of giving care. My name is David Robles and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Born into a humble family but rich in knowledge of the family life. One major point my parents taught me was that family members should love one another driven by unselfishness.

That is why I wrote this book titled, So Far...A Lived For Others. It is dedicated with gratitude to God and all the caregivers around the world letting you know that you are not alone.
YOU ARE VALUED, ACCEPTED, AND LOVED Most everyone has been through a situation that will change the dynamics of the rest of their lives. How we move forward can either cripple our future or help us find hope and healing which leads to a life of victory. It boils down to choices we make. We can remain in our pity party ask God "why" did this happen to me or we can ask God "what" do you need to do in me now that this has happened? If we ask 'why', we often times take on a victim mentality as where asking 'what' can help us learn to trust that God really can use all things for our good and His glory.

For the past year, Mark McGee and his friends have shared some pretty exciting adventures that all began when he moved to Gateway, Florida. They've battled demons, monsters, a dragon, and even the devil himself. Just as it seemed they might get to enjoy what was left of their summer break, Mark is told there is only one way to end the generational curse on his family. He has to go where even the angels cannot go. He must destroy the dragon that has been killing McGee's for hundreds of years. Leaving his friends behind, he must do this alone...or so he thinks. Meanwhile, in Gateway, the dragon is planning to keep a promise he made to Mark in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. "I am about to take everyone from you! Every! Single! Person!" Nobody is safe as Mark's friends and family come together to take on the powers of hell...with a little help. Billy Stancil lives in Jacksonville, Florida, with his wife Rachel. He has been involved in youth ministry, drama ministry, and Christian comedy. His goal as an author is to offer the message of the cross of Christ in an exciting way to children of all ages. His inspiration for this book series was a castle in Callahan, Florida, where he imagined a 12 year old boy would just have to investigate. Fun fact: most of his characters are the names of people he's known throughout his life...Mark McGee was his best friend in kindergarten.
The book sheds light on some Biblical texts and archaeological documents related to successive important events that took place in Mesopotamia (Greek interpretation of ancient Iraq), from the time of creation and until the return of the exiled Jews to their homeland after the fall of Babylonia at the hands of the Persians in 539 B.C. The idea of presenting the two accounts separately in the six chapters, might help to examine and assess whether God is really a God of love, and is able to preserve the dignity of the human race that He created in His image and likeness, and whether the world is stable, prosperous and carrying high moral human values due to the dedication and diligence of these inspired believers to fulfill God's will over the course of 6000 years. On the other hand, to evaluate the contents of archaeological documents extracted from Mesopotamia that reveal the natures, functions, and achievements of the goddess of creation, sky, air, waters, and storms, as well as the accomplishments of gods of Nations, Kings, and heroes of Epics and whether they can be adopted by generations as a constitution for life and inherited cultural civilization. The last chapter introduces some Biblical prophecies that have been literally fulfilled regarding the fall of Assyria and Babylonia, in addition to other prophecies recorded in the book of Revelation that are also supposed to be fulfilled at the end of ages, but not before the collapse of the city of Babylon which was announced by the second Angel in 14:8, nor before the action of the sixth Angel in 16:12, when he (poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East). The Author is an accredited Iraqi civil engineer, who managed and accomplished numerous building and road projects. He was appointed to complete construction projects in the heart of the archaeological site of the ancient city of Babel in the late 1980's. Being proud of the heritage and civilizations of his country that are recorded in the texts of The Holy Bible, and for those reasons, the idea began to develop into the belief that God devoted him to the diligence to produce this book. Despite the fact that the dates of some artifacts precedes the dates of any written text in The Holy Bible, acknowledging that the amount of documents extracted from the Land of Mesopotamia, which is very modest in relation to the enormous volume of information in the contents of The Holy Bible that does not decrease, increase, or change. As matter of fact, The Holy Bible remains as the main source for the success of the archaeological exploration projects, that's the reason why the title of the book begins with "The Holy Bible". The Author presents various opinions selected from some publications that show the multiplicity of assumptions regarding successive topics related to each other. In the absence of concrete evidences and to reach a single conclusion; the remaining possibility is to adhere to one hypothesis or find a suitable new one that corresponds to the sequence of events that took place in Mesopotamia. For instance: The Creation, The existence of the four rivers branching from Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:10), The reality of the flood which was confirmed by the epic of Gilgamesh, Nimrod is not a sinister but a builder, king blessed of God (Genesis 10:9-10), and Abraham crossed the Euphrates River once, not three or four times! (Joshua 24:3)
