The Lord showed me a picture when I was fighting for my life with Lyme disease. It was a completely overgrown garden full of weeds choking all the herbs, plants, and flowers. He said, "e;This is what your brain looks like."e; He showed me that many believers have a brain that looks like this because of an unrenewed mind. He also spoke to me and shared that sickness (not always) sometimes can be caused by an unrenewed mind. Just like different illnesses that can be passed down from generation to generation, toxic thinking can be passed down from generation to generation. As a former Hindu, I share the keys to how I gained victory over mental and physical sickness that was caused by a toxic thought life. These insights helped me break free from many generations of the depths of darkness found in thought (fear, worst-case scenarios, negative thinking, depression, etc.), and they will help the readers as well. With mental illness growing exponentially today, it points to us that there is an absolute necessity to rewire our brain. For people struggling to overcome mental torment, God will bring us into a fragrant garden full of fertile soil. The insights of this book can help us grow a healthy thought life from years of tormented mind.Benefits that readers will take away from this book:a rewired brain (creates health; scientifically proven as well)keys for mental and physical healingovercome mental tormentrecognize seasons and how to graduate from themreceive various breakthroughs through obedience and surrenderFor more information, go to walkingwiththelion.com.
The world is drowning in a shoreless and bottomless ocean of beliefs. Almost every conceivable theological, philosophical, ideological twist and turn is in play. Truth has become a rare treasure. Never before have so many people been so informed and so detached. The good news is that you can know for sure and you can make a difference. The purpose of the book is to introduce a biblically solid and objective way of thinking that gives the Christian a proper foundation and advantage for managing encounters with friends, family, work, and classroom. Thinking like a Christian and thinking and acting like Jesus should be the norm. Each chapter is a different approach to some older and newer methods. The truth is that all of reality proves the existence of the Triune-Creator God, and without Him, nothing makes sense. Reality either rests on the absolute God or subjective relativism. There is no neutrality as much as some try to pretend. All ground is common, but none is neutral. Today, the battle lines could scarcely be clearer.America is at a tipping point. Where the roller coaster goes is in the hands of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book is my attempt to make a difference in a world that is increasingly chaotic. Peace and blessings to you.

One thing is for sure, we all die one day. The question you have to ask yourself; is there a heaven and a hell, and if there is, where will I go?In the pages of this book, Larry Clements reveals how you can know the answer to that question. He tells of some riveting stories of how he lived for the Devil for most of his life and was heading for eternity in hell. Until one day while in prison serving thirteen years for drug and gun charges found Jesus. He found in the pages of the Bible that Heaven is a free gift. No one is Good enough to get in on their own, and there is no one so Bad that it will keep them out. We are Saved by God's grace. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Do you want the Truth? Do you want the Life? And do you want to know the Way? The author only testifies to what he knows; being a heroin and cocaine addict for over thirty years and living a life of crime, can now say, he no longer lives that life. He has found the Truth, lives the Life and knows the Way. That Way is Jesus!
It is my desire, through the writing of The Gospel We Preach, to bring an exposition of the different aspects and truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Preaching may take many different forms, whether from the church pulpit or in more relaxed environments in coffee bars or small groups. Water can come in various containers, but it is still water! The Gospel can be presented in various ways, but it must still be the Gospel that eventually leads to genuine repentance to life. It is a love story of God seeking to bring a lost world back into relationship with Himself. It is a plan that called for the greatest sacrifice the universe has ever seen. It is the Gospel of God's grace and love that offers every living soul the opportunity to step out of spiritual darkness and death into the abundant life of Christ. This book will take you on a journey through the great truths of salvation that every believer needs to understand. To become a disciple and fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ, it is vitally important to understand who we are in Christ and how this new life He offers really transforms. The Gospel We Preach can be given to those who may not as yet come to faith in Christ, and it will be a great resource for all believers, whether new to the faith or have been serving God for many years. For those who aspire to become preachers and those who have perhaps been serving the Lord in ministry for many years, my prayer is that this book will inspire you to preach the Gospel with all its amazing love, passion, and power. The book is illustrated with some personal testimony and some amusing incidents. May you be blessed as you read The Gospel We Preach.
Paul wrote at the end of a completed revelation. Jesus himself had declared, "e;It is finished."e; That great movement-which began with the call to Abram and concluded with Jesus returning to the Father-was over. Paul could write concerning the completed knowledge of the meaning of human life, as he stood in the full revelation that came to him through Christ Jesus. It does not matter to the church whether Paul directed this process or he simply recorded it in his epistles. Paul speaks to us as one who has stood in the light of the glory of God, as seen in the face of Jesus. He calls to us as we face life in the midst of the terrifying world that is the twenty-first century. Come with me as we consider the thoughts of Paul.

Where are the good people? "e;There is none that doeth good, no not one"e; (Romans 3:12). We are here to bring to light the existence of God because he does exist. God's purpose for creation and the rebellion that threw everything out of alignment, thus giving birth to evil and the issues of sin. Why atonement? Because the wages of sin is death. Every being is responsible for atoning. However, responsible people believe in Christ and accept His atonement.
Have you ever found yourself wondering if there was any more to this life? Have you ever questioned God's plan for you, your purpose, or destiny? Of course you have. When I asked those questions, the answer that I was given threw me for a loop. The answer was so unexpected and out of my comfort zone that I spent many years wondering if I had heard the correct answer. Our main purpose is to worship and glorify God. God inspired me to glorify Him in this manner. Inspirations is a book that started as a simple exercise in expressing thoughts, not necessarily meant to be shared, but as a vehicle to let new emotions and new ideals flow from my heart. When I began this journey, I was both new to poetry and a brand-new Christian. I had never had the desire to write nor had any idea how far the process of writing would take me. It was several years of expression through writing, and sharing with others, before I realized I had the beginnings of a book. Even then I had no concept of the height, depth, and width of this project, or how far God could take me in such an uncomfortable and untenable position. All forms of art are born out of some manner of inspiration. This collection of poetry has had its share of unusual types of inspiration, from cartoons and movies to other authors and people in my everyday life, even situations in which I found myself that would show the glory and majesty of our Lord. The subject matter of all these poems, while most are individually inspired, can be separated into two categories, either confession or revelation. There is truth within these pages, truth about my life and I would be willing to guess, at least some truth about your life as well. My prayer is that the words within these pages would first serve to glorify God and second serve to inspire you to do something, perhaps outside of your comfort zone, so that you will rely on God's strength and knowledge. Let us remain humble, by getting out of our own way, and letting Jesus shine through us.

The original title of this book was "e;The Tip Of The Iceberg."e; The iceberg is a visual object good for illustration and comparing spiritual truths to natural similarities. Similarities such as one can only see the tip of an iceberg. Yet 90% of its mass is below (within) the surface. Likewise, we only visually see the outer results of our inner thoughts (positive or negative), not truly knowing what motivates us from within, below our fleshly surface. Within various chapters, with specific titles such as "e;Sinful Nature 101,"e; "e;Tactics of the Sinful Nature,"e; "e;The Inner Me,"e; just to name a few, we will learn the modus operandi of this nature and its origin in its daily work in our lives.
