Psalm 127:1a Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build. This is the story of my journey of faith. I am a cradle Catholic who grew up with God, family and community as the moral compass points in my life, in a small town where everyone knew each other. I conflated obeying God with obeying parents and cultural norms, until I ventured out into the world. Sadly, I married outside the Church, my faith and culture, all of which taught marriage is forever. God was ever calling me back to my faith, immature and unschooled as it was, but the world tugged in another direction and I stayed frozen in the situation.With a clear promise from God that He would not leave me orphan, I took a leap of faith and left with my two children. With God at its center, my life has been an incredible journey of learning to grow in faith and do His work. The Angels that surround me re-anchor me. This is my personal response to God. I leave you, the reader enough room to build your own response. That you are reading this book is the reason God was prompting me to share it.

I told my oldest son when he was 10, I was going to write a book. I also told him I would buy him a Corvette from the sale of the book. This story has been in my computer since 2007, long after I made either of those two statements. The book I thought I would write never happened and unless Scott will settle for a die cast model the second thing will not become a reality either. The plans we have for ourselves may not happen, but the plans God has for us will if we cooperate. Dream dreams, make plans, make them big and don''t give up. Include God every step of the way, and maybe you will not have to wait 40 years for your dreams and your life to meet up. Be Blessed A

(Mark 8:36). He thought, "What good is it for me to produce the best marine biologist in the world, if they never know Christ?" That launched his lifelong journey in Christian education.Then two other questions from Richard Sterns, drove him to say yes to the presidency of IACCS. "What if there are children who will suffer somehow because I failed to obey God?""What if my cowardice costs even one child somewhere in the world his or her life?" Those questions sparked a "Popeye" moment. He, like Popeye, said, "I can''t stands it; I can''t stands it no more!"

Will I find a new job? Will I ever meet "the one?"Is there really a God out there who loves me? If He''s there, why does He seem so distant sometimes, and why doesn''t He answer my prayers?Walk with a Limp shows us that God is not angry when we ask these questions.He is not afraid of our doubts, and He isn''t offended by our intellectual showdown between human reasoning and faith. Instead, God is teaching us something-we might not know or truly understand who He is.With powerful stories from his own life and raw admissions of his own struggles,Ryan Noble leads us on a journey of discovering who God really is and howHe operates in the world. Instead of running from God, what if we paused and asked Him our unspeakable questions? Sometimes it may seem like He''s not listening. Sometimes we may not like His answers. But we often see God best when we stop and wrestle with Him over our doubts and concerns. We get stronger, and we sometimes bear scars that come with growth. And that''s okay. In fact, it''s a good thing. Ryan Noble is a teaching pastor at The Rock Fellowship Church in Miami, Florida.

In the Gospel of Mark, chapter 1, verse 17, the Lord Jesus made a profound statement, "Come, follow me and I will make you to become fishers of men." He was speaking to rough Galilean fishermen who He intended to raise to become the very first pillars of the Christian faith. The bottom line is that these men had to be prepared before they could become leaders of the early church. Christ makes it clear that He was going to "make" these men, like a master sculptor who brings the best out of something that had no form. In this book we look at the preparation that makes a person fit for the task. Boniface was ordained to serve full time as Pastor at Kabwe Chapel in January 1991.

He has recorded messages which were broadcast on several television and radio stations which have been blessing many. He also has a huge crowd of "disciples" on a popular social network. He has authored a book, "When Kings Dream" which has encouraged many readers.
