After leading soldiers in the Creek Indian War and as an original Texas Ranger, missionary T. J. Bowen''s adventures in the interior of Africa (1850-1856) made him a national hero. His explorations were compared to David Livingstone and his conquests were compared to Alexander the Great. He testified before Congress and was in demand as a speaker nationwide. His account of his exploits became an immediate best seller and his linguistic work was published by the Smithsonian. His denomination hailed him as their greatest missionary, yet less than twenty years later he would be almost forgotten, die alone, and be buried in an unmarked grave. Bowen''s story unfolds on three continents, involves four wars, and is remarkable, inspiring, and instructive."I have read many missionary biographies and researched mission history but have never encountered such a gripping story as that of T. J. Bowen as written by Jim Hardwicke."--Jerry Rankin, President Emeritus, International Mission Board, SBC"Hardwicke relates Bowen''s life and times with the factual rigor of a skilled researcher, the spell-binding ability of a great story teller, and the compassionate love of a sympathizing Christian friend...Take and read. You will never be the same."-David Brady, pastor of Christ Community Church of Mount Airy; author One Sacred Effort: Southern Baptists Proclaiming Christ Around the World"I''m so thankful that my friend Jim Hardwicke has written this biography of Bowen. I trust that it will be a realistic-but-hopeful encouragement to many readers, as it has been to me."--Nathan A. Finn, Provost / Dean of the Faculty, North Greenville University After serving as a pastor for many years, Jim Hardwicke (DMin, PhD) has been teaching theology online for Gateway Seminary and on short-term trips worldwide.

Some of Anjo''s work has appeared in independent Christian School curriculum for early readers. Anjo has a B.A. in English Creative Writing and a Masters in Biblical Studies. He is looking forward to doing more writing in the future to inspire the love of literature now in his grand children and all children.

To have order in anything, especially one''s life, balance is key; balance in the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual areas of life. While author Bih Johnson was growing up, she found balance to be a struggle to maintain and went on a personal mission to develop a better version of herself. In her new book, Balance is Order, she uses this self-betterment journey to shape an empowering book about living an abundant life through Jesus Christ.Balance, to Bih, is having a strong and thriving relationship with God through Jesus, as she elaborates through examples from the Bible, her life, and general scenarios to show where balance and order are very important in establishing a stable life.Sharing about her life in Cameroon and how God provided for her family''s life over the years, letting her know the need we all have is to have a relationship with the heavenly Father. She can attest, from her own life, that God can use anybody as a vessel for furthering His kingdom in the lives of other believers and being a witness of Him to non-believers.Balance is not as elusive as we all think it might be, as when we put Jesus as the leader within us, all the other areas of our lives will fall into their rightful, healthy places. Bih is first and foremost a servant of God, wife, and a mother. She was born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa, has lived in Europe where she met her husband, and they currently reside in the United States of America with their three children. Bih loves spending time with her family/friends, writing, dancing, cooking, and traveling to different parts of the world. Evangelism is her calling and God has graced her to bridge the gap of understanding the word of God amongst different generations.

"In all the annals of time, in all the days, months, years and centuries of earth''s existence, there is one eight-day segment of time that changed the spiritual landscape of this universe forever.""But undeniably, nothing has ever realigned the cosmic disorder caused by man''s fall, as did these eight days." "The fact is the rest of the story gets in the way of the best of the story - Jesus at the point of decision.""Deceit is the smoke screen sin uses to cover its trail of guilt.""Their challenge to the Messiah is like the sparrow taunting the eagle. It is the minnow slamming into the side of the orca. It is the squirrel chirping at the grizzly. It is anger and hate mixed with fear." "Tension is off the charts and yet it is tempered with a consuming peace. It is electricity tamed. It is fear harnessed. It is apprehension calmed. It is anxiety soothed. It is all that is unsettling - settled. All the extremes of calamity and serenity are mingled and meshed and then taken captive by an absolute faith in the Father."

The Pharisees Are Coming to Jesus: Secret Believers in Israel and America reveals how the Holy Spirit is removing the scales from the eyes of Orthodox Jews, the descendants of the Pharisees who opposed Jesus 2,000 years ago.In Israel today, Orthodox and Chasidic Jews meet privately as believers in Yeshua (Jesus) during the week but return to their usual synagogues on the Sabbath, waiting for the others to be inspired by the Holy Spirit. They are replicating the first Jewish believers in Jerusalem, who met secretly to worship Yeshua but continued to visit the Temple daily. After all, why would a Jew who has found Jesus to be the Messiah leave the Judaism that Jesus practiced?After revealing this, the author goes on to explore concepts in Judaism that were suppressed by the First Century rabbis as sounding too Christian. He then identifies these Christian truths hidden in Judaism by critically reviewing the biblical teachings of world-renowned Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, who often sounds like a Spirit-filled evangelist whose eyes have been opened."Anthony Cardinale is a gifted journalist and author who has immersed himself for over 30 years in a move of God that is for the most part unknown to most Christians. I''m referring to a promise God made throughout the Scriptures to restore the Jewish People to Himself at a set time in history (Jeremiah 3l:33-34). Anthony is on the forefront of this revival. This, his third book, follows The Red Heifer: A Jewish Cry for Messiah, and The Revolt of Rabbi Morris Cohen."- RABBI JONATHAN BERNIS,President, Jewish Voice Ministries, International. ANTHONY CARDINALE is an award-winning Christian Zionist who began writing about Israel and the Jewish people long before discovering his own Jewish bloodlines. A member of the National Association of Scholars, he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize three times during his years as a reporter with the Buffalo News. He has written for Messianic Times, Jewish Voice Today, Charisma and Ministries magazines, as well as the Orthodox weekly Yated Ne''eman.

Most people say change is a part of life. There are many things we experience throughout our lifetime which cause us to change direction. We may start a new romance which changes the direction our single life was taking us. Or we might find ourselves enduring a traumatic experience, also changing the direction life had us on.

An impossible, almost unbelievable change that happened in one woman''s life through the power of God. Priscilla Navaroli was born and raised in California. She currently lives in Texas and is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. She is also a former pastor at Lone Star Cowboy Church in Montgomery, Texas, where she spent five years on staff.

Growing up was quite a challenge in young David Hosley''s life, as he and his siblings dealt with growing up poor in a small town.Their father and mother had divorced, leaving his mother to take a welder job during World War II when his father left them.Determined to escape the poor lifestyle and make something of himself, David worked hard in school and sports to gain scholarships and eventually get his master''s and doctorate degrees. He eventually enlisted in the Air Force and rose to the ranks of colonel, even flying 475 combat missions during Vietnam.David, his wife Bobbi, and their children began to lay some permanent roots while David was a program manager for all USAF professional development short courses in the Pentagon, worked with the White House, and managed several programs for the office of the Secretary of Defense. He also was instrumental in programs for Kennedy Space Center, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and University of Central Florida in science and aviation.But what is most memorable in David''s newly published autobiography is the role God played in his life from even before he accepted Jesus into his life. The diversity of his jobs and path he has charted he has only God to thank.After much prayer with his second wife Beverly (his first wife passed in 2014), David made the decision to write about his life, in hopes that his story gives readers a purpose for their lives and draws them closer to the God who made it all possible.What one boy from a small town could dream of accomplishing over the course of his life can be the same dream another can achieve as well, for the God who can make the impossible happen is behind each and every dream.
