Lost and Found Again, is a book about a brother and sister who in their late teens, in the mid 1800's, run away from their home in Stillwater, Minnesota to escape an abusive father. The two siblings supposedly raised in a Christian family differ in that Morgan the brother has given up on his belief in God even though his sister, Sally remains trusting in her faith having incurred most of the abuse. The story starts in 1849 with the backdrop of the historic goldrush. Their journey West to Arizona and the experiences and hardships that challenge them makes every day an adventure. The cities, riverboats, buildings, events, and society itself referenced in this book are all factual for the time with few liberties taken by the author. Morgan returns to his Christian beliefs, through the miracles and grace that God shows him using the influence of his sister, Sally. The journey back is not easy. It relates to the conflict that many face today. Wes discovered Christ at the age of 16, experiencing the true impact of faith. At 19 after the sudden loss of his father he quit college to become an entrepreneur. His faith became mixed at times, believing in God, but confused over the need for a relationship with Christ until later in life. He was a professional musician, record company executive, stockbroker, investment banker and corporate executive for a number of companies in several fields. Wes and his wife Linda live in Prescott, the Christian capital of Arizona, which provided geographical inspiration for his writing, surrounded by the history of the Old West.
Imagine the immense value of gold reserves held tightly in the United States Bullion Depository vault in Fort Knox, Kentucky. While that gold is inaccessible to the public, through the exercise of faith, the unlimited riches of the kingdom of God are made available to all. Come along on an adventurous journey of exploration to learn about faith. In this book entitled, "Faith Book", the author delves into the most important topic of which every child of God must have a working knowledge. As the chief cornerstone which lies at the foundation of all Christian acts and actions for God, it is the one principle of the kingdom of God that no believer in Christ can afford to be without. STEVEN O. PAYNE, a gifted and anointed Christian preacher, author, speaker, vocalist, musician, songwriter and youth leader relishes every opportunity to minister to others as he has been blessed. A fraternal twin born into a multi-talented faith-centered family, he has the rich heritage of coming to Christ early in his youth. Through many years of study, creativity and research, he has crafted a ministry full of refreshing insight and revelation to share with others abroad. Steven and his wife reside in South Florida.
The author has been studying and teaching the Bible for over 40 years. In the space of those years, the availability of Bible study tools has exploded allowing one to learn at levels impracticable a few short years ago. Taking advantage of these tools, the author began comparing several English translations to their respective Greek manuscripts. Finding several deviations, one has recently stood out - the verbs. For example, in my Bible, in several verses, the adjective "dead" is found where the verb "died" ought to be. A verb tells the reader who did the action, the time period in which the action was performed, whether the action is ongoing and whether or not that action has relevance today. The adjective does not convey any of that information. Why did the translators of my Bible not "declare...all the counsel of God"? This book is a result of researching several key verbs - "died" being one of many. I pray that it will edify the reader and bring him into a richer understanding of having "died with Christ". The author is an engineer by trade and resides in San Antonio, TX. He maintains a blog: www.sonsheirs.net which contains numerous articles on various Bible subjects. He can be reached at savedbygracesa@gmail.com. The author also penned "The Preaching of the Cross, When?", which addressed the question: When was the cross revealed to mankind, not just as a fact, but as Good News?

This book is a powerful way to express about how God is real, the devil is real, Heaven is a real place, and unfortunately hell is as well. God has blessed me with the gift of writing poetry, and my life story is nothing short of a miracle. I am truly grateful that God is all about redemption. I have combined poetry, scripture, and dialog to tell the tale of my addiction and how I got that way. It includes my struggles with prison and the adventure of how I ended up a pastor. With everything that is going on all around the world, our country in chaos, I just want to spread a little faith, hope and love. If you are struggling or know someone that has struggles this book is an incredible read. If you are perfect and your life is the best life ever, this book is an incredible read. The one thing I do know is people love a success story. Changes So many times, so many ways. So many changes, are changing our days. Some happen fast, some happen slow. Some leave us helpless, with no place to go. Others are awesome, and the outcome is great. But the ones needed most, are usually too late. What is crazy about life, and I think you'll agree. The longer we live, the more changes we see. So, this world that we live in, that is changing our lives. All we can do, is change, to survive.

What is a Secret? Something concealed from others! What you are about to read is my personal memoir on how God delivered me from fears, pains, past hurts, and abusive relationship. I pray that after you read about my personal journey, you will discover that God is right by your side to free you from all your pains, fears, and deep secrets you have carried too long. My secrets started before I knew Christ, while learning about Christ and living a life in Christ. I am releasing my memoir because the Spirit of God said it is time to help believers get healed, strengthened, and live the life God promised. My memoir is not about airing out dirty laundry or releasing confidential information, but a guide of spiritual healing, restoration, and renewed mind. My journey has not been easy; there were times I did not know what path to take even when I thought God was leading me. So how did I, a woman who loves God, who teaches and preaches God's Word, find herself in a night club?

Dios tomó a David de los campos donde siguió a las ovejas para convertirse en el gobernante de Israel. Fue ignorado por su padre, pero escogido por Dios. Él llevó el sueño de ser rey desde el día en que Samuel lo ungió, pero no se sentía digno de casarse con la hija del rey después de derrotar a Goliat. David experimentó muchos momentos increíbles en su vida, pero también soportó muchos traumas. Fue el héroe de Israel y luego se convirtió en el villano perseguido. Pasó de liderar los ejércitos de Israel a ser perseguido por los mismos. Cuando David fue ungido Rey en Judá, estalló la guerra civil. Cada paso en que Dios establecía la identidad. Se necesita un Goliat para revelar un David y su recorrido para producir un rey. La fe cree lo que Dios puede hacer, la identidad cree lo que Dios puede hacer a través de ti. Deja que el recorrido de David toque tu vida. "Dale ha hecho un trabajo magistral presentando verdades que transforman la vida.

Spirited Voyager: A Memoire of Motherhood, Mission and Ministry, is a broad-brush account of Rev. Dr. Susan M. Hudson's journey of faith from childhood until the present time. She and her family have traveled the world together in service to Christ's mission of love and grace. Sue's "comfort zone" would make most people uncomfortable, because she thrives in cross-cultural contexts and loves learning languages, though she is not fluent in any of them. She has dabbled in Greek, Hebrew, German, Korean, Urdu, Hindi and Spanish. She enjoys living life "in between" cultures.Sue gives us a taste of those travels as their family grew from two members to five. Her first priority was always her children once they arrived on the scene; however, her husband, David, also encouraged her to keep learning and following God's call upon her life. The pace of their journey was fast. They had to pick up their roots and start over more often than they had hoped, but when God invited them into a new adventure, they always responded, "Yes." The third "Raft" on Sue's journey, "The Raft of Inner Healing," slows the pace and helps Sue put the jigsaw pieces of her life and ministry together.
Psalm 107:2 says, "Let the redeemed of the LORD say so." The one the Lord has redeemed should be saying something. We should be speaking in agreement with our Redemption. Psalm 34:12-13 highlights something about the person who wants to be pleased with life and see many good days. It indicates that this person has to speak a certain way. These are just two scriptures that provide information and instruction about our speaking. The Lord approached Abraham and told him how to speak in Genesis 17:5. The Lord did this to produce a certain outcome in Abram's life. Abraham's name was still Abram at the time and the Lord told him to start calling himself Abraham (which meant the father of a multitude). Abraham had to learn to speak a certain way. The Lord has done the same thing for us that He did for Abraham. He has given us information about words and instruction about how we should be speaking so that it produces certain outcomes in our lives. You will learn the following from the 20 Speaking Nuggets in this book: 1) why you should be speaking in agreement with God's Word; 2) things that your words can do; and 3) how Job's words impacted his life. These Speaking Nuggets will start you on the path to SAYING what God says so that you SEE (have and experience) what the Lord desires for your life and His Kingdom.

Dirty is a fictional imagining of some of Jesus' most widely-known encounters with normal people in the bible, from their perspective. An adulterous woman. A fisherman trying to make ends meet. A tax collecting gangster. Each has a story to tell us about the provocative truth of love and grace. Michael Coulson is a loving husband to his beautiful wife, Kristine, a guiding father and a doting grandfather. He has flavored his life with unique perspectives-born on the west coast, raised on the east coast, he has now lived the majority of his life on the island of Oahu, as a general contractor. Michael has a passion and reverence for the words of Jesus and the Bible. He hopes that hisdebut book, Dirty: The Provocative Truth of Love and Grace, would encourage you to want to know more about Jesus, and that you might discover a little bit of yourself in the characters written about here and the life lessons learned through their interaction with Love and Grace.
Many people have the idea that to really be used of God you have to be exceptionally gifted or extremely talented. Drawing on well over five decades of ministry, Dr. John Caldwell has had plenty of experience to prove that is not the case. For the most part God uses what the world would consider to be ORDINARY PEOPLE to accomplish His work. John draws on his life and ministry experiences, personal convictions, and pastor's heart to underscore that fact.This book is not autobiographical but instead focuses on a wide variety of incidents and experiences the author has had. He also shares some of his deepest convictions. The chapters represent successes and failures, wins and losses. Some are tragic and some are humorous. Hopefully, as you read, you'll experience both laughter and tears. You probably won't agree with everything John writes, but you will be challenged. While at first glance the chapters may appear to be eclectic or disconnected, it has been the author's intent to demonstrate that an ordinary life can be fulfilling and rewarding when it is dedicated to our EXTRAORDINARY GOD! John Caldwell has four earned degrees, including a doctorate in ministry. After several years of crusade evangelism, he became the first pastor of Kingsway Christian Church of Avon, Indiana, where for the next thirty-six years he led the congregation from infancy to a thriving megachurch. He has traveled in over 100 countries, working alongside missionaries in at least two dozen of them. He has served as president of both The North American Christian Convention and The International Conference on Missions. He has written several books. Since retirement he has maintained a busy national and international speaking and writing ministry.
Several years ago, THE Hero of Faithfulness revealed God wants to use YOUR life to display His grace & love.Now, ODDBALLS of the Bible continues to look through the pages of Scripture to see how God is always at work through the lives of ordinary-even obscure-men & women.From the Introduction of ODDBALLS of the Bible-An Oddball is the person who makes you stop as you are reading the Bible and blurt out, "Really, God? We really needed to know this person? And, we even needed to know this person-by name?"I want to know the stories and details of the Bible's Oddballs. After all, the Holy Spirit did inspire their one verse, one event, recorded-for-all-time-inclusion into the Bible, just as He did the volumes of chapters and verses devoted to the "stars."Of all the people and events He could have included in His Word, I want to know WHY God chose these regular and normal folk-people amazingly, sinfully, like you and me-to accomplish some remarkable things.ODDBALLS of the Bible will reveal how these men and women in God's Word will help YOU grow and live YOUR faith today!

With today's increased awareness of mental illnesses, depression is considered among the most widespread and destructive on the spectrum. Given its various manifestations and debilitating nature, it is not uncommon for someone suffering to feel completely derailed, longing for relief or purpose. When believers become afflicted, it can be increasingly difficult to reconcile the feeling that one's own mind is rebelling with the doctrine of spiritual fulfillment that we are taught in church and in Scripture. When our faith is built primarily on love, how does a Christian make sense of and deal with the isolation, sense of worthlessness, overwhelming sadness, and other trials and challenges associated with depression? In Restoring the Unloved, the author explores the spiritual implications of depression. Drawing from personal experience, and supported by Scripture at every turn, this book delves deep into the ways that such a mental illness may prey on the faithful, and how believers can draw strength from God to make the best of their situation. If you or someone you know could use someGod-given encouragement in a dark or uncertain time, this book is for you.

This is the story of how a spunky little girl, who was always getting into trouble, dealt with the economic, behavioral, and spiritual problems of growing up poor in the Philippines. With limited knowledge, skill, and resources, she had to depend on her strength and wit to get by. At the age of six, with no adults around to take care of her or her younger siblings, she resorted to stealing her neighbor's eggs and pancakes when they were hungry. When food was no longer an issue, she fought for her right to play as a child, even it meant being chastised afterwards. She made sure that she had everything she needed or wanted, and no threat of punishment from her family or anyone else would stop her unless the answer to her needs was literally beyond her reach. During her elementary school years, she was a troublemaker in the classroom for reasons that she could not understand. In middle and high school, she had another problem to deal with: the spirits of the dead seemed to hover around her. This was compounded by her father's proclamation that she was ugly and wouldn't amount to anything. She set out to prove otherwise. It was during her college years that Dolores found out about Jesus, the One who helped to sort out her problems by giving her the faith, courage, and wisdom to deal with them one at a time. Finally, after moving to the United States, Dolores dared to pursue her dream of teaching. In spite of those who thought she could never be a teacher because English was not her native language, and the things they thought she lacked, Dolores was not only hired to teach, but she worked for years as a professional educator. Dolores Bennett was born in the Philippines in a little town called Mankayan in 1959. When she was inspired to write, a local Christian magazine, Sulo ng Kristiano, published her articles about lessons learned from simple things; a mother hen, a wart-covered frog, a rugged hanging bridge, and more. While teaching English/Literature at Philippine Christian University, Dolores co-authored the textbook English for Filipino Students. She moved to Tennessee in 1995 and taught elementary school and wrote the children's book The Black Feather. Before retiring, Dolores also taught GED/Hiset classes at Morgan County Correctional complex in Morgan County, Tennessee.
Would you be a disciple of Jesus? From the Foreword: "This book is the second on the subject of the Empire of the Risen Son...As Book One dealt with the Kingdom of God conceptually, this book deals with the Kingdom in practical terms. What does it mean, or require, to be a part of this Kingdom?" ******************** This is not a book, it's a life-changing journey! Within these pages, Dr. Gregg effectively becomes our passionate tour guide through a Royal Empire of cosmic proportions. Page after page will help you appreciate that this kingdom has its own benevolent laws, its own righteous economy, its own victorious foreign policy, and its own holy culture. Dr. Gregg skillfully explains exactly what it means to be a citizen of this divine domain. Personally, I have not read anything to date that does a better job at explaining the Lordship of Christ nor what it means to be His disciple. This must-read will leave you either sorrowful, like the rich young ruler, or you too will find yourself singing the joyful anthem of this Kingdom's Christ! - David Martinez International evangelist and teacher of the Bible Steve Gregg is a national talk-show host, author, and international lecturer on the Bible, theology, and discipleship. He is the author of two previous books published by Thomas Nelson: "Revelation: Four Views: A Parallel Commentary" (1997, 2013) and "All You Want to Know About Hell: Three Christian Views" (2013). His talk show, "The Narrow Path," broadcasts on stations across the USA and is streamed to the internet from the website and mobile app: thenarrowpath.com. His full bio can be found at the website.
