This children's' book addresses and reveals in a clever way what a difference unconditional love can make in one's life. We all are born with different traits and talents, and sometimes they are more obvious to others, sooner or more clearly, than to oneself. But, with loving support, in the way of encouragement and kindness, a person can come to know and feel confident in the wonders others have sensed and seen all along. In this story, farm animals come to life in a way that helps the reader to imagine beyond the obvious in understanding everyone's value, measured by unconditional love. Starting off, EO is a young, lonely, and sad donkey. Seemingly easy pickings for bullies. Three years go by before his sister, Stymie, is born. In helping his mother care for Stymie, he develops a new attitude of joy and happiness in sharing love, even offering forgiveness to those who have caused him past hurts. EO and Stymie become best friends-whether working, playing, laughing, or praying. Stymie's presence affects considerable positive differences in EO's life. With the new loving confidence EO feels, he and Stymie begin to make positive changes throughout the farm and in the farm characters. The animals once so disposed to bullying begin to change their ways. This is a feel-good, happy story with a surprise ending. Just remember, prayers up, blessings down. May you likewise be blessed by being a blessing to others.
You know how I can tell God has a sense of humor? Just follow Vicki throughout her day. You will see for yourself that sometimes, you just have to laugh about life. Vicki was never embarrassed to say she grew up in a trailer park. She learned you can meet some interesting folks there. And it made her into who she is today-an interesting person. Vicki Baylis welcomes readers into her life and her good-humored outlook. Take the night she and her little sister met God. Well, at least they thought it was him. There was nothing like confessing your sins to the helicopter landing at the trailer next door to make you realize that God has a sense of humor. Just a Little Southern portrays a few run-ins with the law and a few family clashes. This witty memoir shows that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. We can go into the next day knowing it will not be perfect, there will be mistakes, we will have tears, and we will learn from it. The main thing is we will be walking through it together knowing that God is walking with us. Through every crazy adventure, Vicki remained mindful that God walks with her and is probably laughing out loud. Discover the humor to be found in minor disasters as you look into the life of an ordinary family who's Just a Little Southern.
There remains and will always be a great gulf between faith and fear. Oftentimes, people can be seen spending most of their lives on one side more than the other. While one strengthens by building, motivating, and propelling people into greatness, the other is seen as the lesser or weaker option. Yet many forfeit heaven's promises by willingly living day to day in fear. Yet it is and always will be the heart of God for his people to triumph over fear and the many faces that it presents. This book will expose fear by revealing God-given truths from the viewpoint of the heart of God. God has given specific strategies found in his word that will help pull down the strongholds of fear. You will see that it only takes one step of faith to utterly turn your life around. Faith or fear, only you can decide where you will spend the sum total of your days. The struggle between faith and fear is a very real battle where many men and women of God find a great level of difficulty due to the vast gap between faith and fear. God never intended us to set up camp in the middle of the two. By establishing a consistent life of faith, God will walk you through unlimited day-to-day victories.
A small-town wedding takes place, and the caterer doesn't bring enough wine. A woman helping out at the event tells her son. Suddenly, some pots filled with water are now filled with wine. Was this just a case of the right place and the right time with the married couple as the benefactors? Or is there something of far greater magnitude going on than meets the eye? Jesus, the Son of God, has just initiated His earthly ministry and this is the first miracle He performs. Compared to His other miracles, this one comes in last as far as wow factor. And the number of people who knew about it was so few that the wedding festivities went on uninterrupted. On the surface, this miracle comes off as underwhelming and confusing. Its purpose is obscure. It is the least discussed of Jesus's miracles, and when it is, it generates the most wide-ranging explanations. A wedding is a love story, and this one is no exception. As we pull back the veil, we will see that this is the most beautiful of love stories. Watch as Jesus becomes the focal point of the event as opposed to a casual attendee who merely helps a young couple out of an embarrassing moment. See Him in all His glory as He manifests God's love to us. Learn how God's desire to have you in His family is the passion of His heart. Find out how being His sons and daughters puts us in a position to be truly transformed. Take a journey through a miracle which on the surface seems mundane, but in reality is the most amazing event of all time.

Yet lo, at the last moment, unhoped for, another sword turns away the vile blade. It is the sword of Henri the Saxon, a German knight, who has ridden in to save them. Here at the stream, Henri takes his stand to defend the people he loves from marauding Crusaders. How could it be that a knight, once a Crusader, should be protecting the very people he once fought?

From that point on he is inexorably drawn into a confrontation with the organized church of satan. Asked to investigate the abduction and murder of a child, the investigator discovers - not a lone pervert, but a secret organization of satanists.

What would be the title of the next chapter of your life if someone shares with you the knowledge that Jesus paid it all for you to overcome life's challenges? How about if someone told you that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf and working everything out for your good with encouraging love He has reestablished for you in the name of the sacrifice of His Son? My desire today is to challenge your thinking to come up higher and set down with Jesus a while and learn about Him. God has already prepared for your journey of transformation strategies and information from His Word to overcome everything your adversary has placed in your path. Through life highway, you may not believe this but He believes in you and Christ has qualified you for the victory in Him. When God looks at you, He sees you as a son and a daughter clothed in favor, blessings, and a successful leader of the faith. Take hold of Him today and to those who knew your story and might not believe this, you can look at you now and see what the Lord has done and its marvelous in His sight.

This book was planned to be written when God told Daniel to keep this prophecy a secret-that is, until today. The Creator reveals the secrets in this book. Yes, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Jesus Christ, the Root of David helped Marino Kintaro to write and publish this book. Even the name of this book was given to Marino by him. Jesus was showing and revealing the kingdom of God to the people who came to see him and his miracles. And right now, he wants to explain and show the mystery of the kingdom of heaven to you. That is why this book, His Kingdom, has been written.

With the dawning of every new day, humanity is forced ever so closer to its appointed destiny, an ordained manifestation of God where time and mercy ends and God's eternal judgment begins. This spiritual threshold was breached by the unveiling and fulfillment of the prophecy given in Daniel 12:4; and with the emergence of the computer via the www (the tree of knowledge of good and evil revisited), man's curiosity, driven by an uncontrollable desire for knowledge, has propelled the heart of man's imagination into the realm of the unknown, a cosmoses of unknown knowledge unsorted by the truth, a distorted truth that callously represents a place in time controlled through the manipulation of false information by that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived the whole world (Revelation 12:9). As spirit-filled, truth-believing children of God, we must use every avenue given to us by the spirit of God to ensure the evolution of the Church's message (Calvary) without sacrificing the truth and integrity of God's word. And since God's word requires no additives or preservatives in order to maintain its "e;integrity,"e; it would benefit the true church more by returning to its roots, the basics, the truth! In his latest diabolical, yet subtle contribution to mankind, that old serpent, called the Devil, flaunts his authority over Tinsel Town, in the form of a weekly television series. Hollywood's latest blockbuster Lucifer lends credence to the words of the prophet Isaiah: "e;Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter"e; (Isaiah 5:20). The true body of Christ breeds to redeem the time when "e;the truth begins and ends still being the truth!"e;Darkness for lightReturning to its roots

Upon learning the age of the "e;child"e; in question, Eleanor Sims made a beeline for the door. Had this man lost his mind? She did not intend to be a nanny to a grown man, and out the door, she went. Jonathan Marcus Howell II was a thorn in his father's side. Money meant nothing to him, except for the fact it was necessary and certainly was always available when he needed it. His mornings were spent sleeping, and his afternoons were usually at a country club. But on this day, before the night would fall, he would find himself at the mercy of a woman he had never known. He would be homeless and alone, but little did he know, it would be a good thing.
The world is descending into darkness, and it's taking modern religion with it. And this nightmare is not an isolated incident reserved for just one branch of religion or one particular faith. No, this phenomenon, this falling away, has infected both large and small. It is a tangible collapse of faith that has begun to spread everywhere. It's like a religious pandemic has crept into the farthest reaches of the body and infected every organ with its symptoms of doubt and disbelief, killing off the weak and making sick the once proud faithful. We cannot escape the fact that a religious nightmare has descended upon the world we live in, and there doesn't seem to be a way out. Or is there? The Pattern of Calvary explores the forgotten truths of the Bible and the many reasons why we are in the religious shape we are in. It asks the hard questions about our existence and relationship with the Creator, ultimately presenting a simple solution to a complex religious problem of truth and getting us back on course with our Creator. "e;Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."e;
What is Truth?Truth is the existence of God. Jesus said, "e;I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"e; (John 14:6). Has God revealed Himself and His truth to humanity? How do we know who He is?We find God's revelation to man through Scripture in His Word. God has revealed Himself and His truth through His distinctive forms and functions during His Creation, His Son, and His Redemption. God exist and Scriptures hold the key to Finding Truth.
My grandchildren and I were standing at the edge of a still lake feeding the ducks, when my granddaughter picked up a pebble and tossed it into the lake. The pebble quickly sank to the bottom of the lake, but the effect of the pebble created many ripples. They keep spreading and spreading from the center and there was no way to stop them. The Ripple Effect is based on the concept that we are connected. We can and do affect each other. The result is a building of community that will affect how we treat others and the way we live our lives. All of us have passion for something as well as a vision and hope to use our gifts and talents for a greater purpose. The Ripple Effect was originally written as a textbook for a character class curriculum using an athletic medium designed to change the culture of sport that provided collegiate student athletes with application model for character-driven athletics. Today, it has become a resource that provides a guide that can apply to anyone who has an interest in desiring to pursue competitive excellence that emulates Christ. We live in a culture today that promotes comfort, not challenges. We want instant gratification free from consequences of our choices. Our choices and actions represent who we are; what we believe and define our character. The ripple effect provides a foundation for a person to better understand who they can become. The most important relationship a person will ever have is with themselves. The question is, are we doing the best they can to become more than they have become. Each ripple has a message, which is the pebble, a theme, which is the ripple effect, and an application that provides the action necessary to develop and improve character. To reach significance in the athletic arena as well as life one needs to be able to embrace competition, establish quality relationships, and develop values, "e;rules of the road"e; that become the lifestyle. What happens when we experience the ripple effect? We become a person with a Christ-like perspective with a renewed purpose, a new sense of direction, and enhanced relationships.
As King Hiram of old, I have always been a lover of David. David was a warrior king of Israel, and was referred to by God as a "e;man after mine own heart."e; David's shield and buckler protected him from attack from the enemy. I pray the poems God has given me provide similar protection for the readers of these poems.
Tabia Keonna Woolfork died at the hands of the man who swore to love and protect her through thick and thin. In the end, a lapse in judgment by her husband would lead to her demise. Murder/suicide is what it's called, domestic violence at its worst. Did she see it coming? Did her life flash before her eyes? In that exact moment, so many unanswered questions. Life without a spiritual connection can lead to death by deception, love dressed up in a mind so captivated by its wants and needs that it dictates the outcome of death, murder, suicide, an unsuspecting wife, struck down in her youth, who never saw it coming. The psycho within is silent until the voices within speak.
Trading Places is a book of poems that was inspired by my relationship with Christ Jesus. I have included the first poem I ever wrote, "e;My Life Is Like an Island."e; I wrote it when I was fourteen and not yet a Christian. There is quite a contrast to the poetry I have written after becoming a Christian and my first poem. Having a personal relationship with Christ Jesus is truly life-changing. As the Word of God is written in our hearts, we are inspired to grow and serve. It becomes natural to share the good news. Life becomes less about me and more about, "e;What would you have me do for you, Lord?"e; He told me to put the poems that He inspired into a book. After all, they were not written for me only. They were written for all of us. I had no idea how to publish a book, so God showed me how. Thank you Christian Faith Publishing.
AMENThese are ordinary prayers that can be prayed every day by anybody, young and old, to quiet your spirit and lift your heart, mind, body, and soul. As the Holy Spirit speaks to my spirit, I just start writing these prayers as I hear the words being spoken by the Holy Spirit, whom I allow to lead, guide, and direct my path in life.
This book contains the author's true-life stories with a few pictures to back them up. It's also based on the King James Bible. The author's life has been full of miracles since she was saved at the age of thirteen. She got married at age nineteen and then had 9 babies. After 42 years of marriage, her husband, Jim, went to heaven, and now she's had time to write this book that she calls My Walk with God. Her hope is that you will be blessed by it, and if you don't have a personal relationship with God, that you will ask Him into your Life as well, and begin your Walk with God. May He bless you all.
Life's Journey to a Total TransformationA Christian outlook on overcoming challenges in all areas of your life. We all go through life's journey with many challenges. Who you are is how you handle these challenges. I learned being a drama queen didn't get me very far. There are so many people trying to balance all areas of their lives. In health, nutrition, spirituality, financially, relationships, etc., feeling like your life's a circus juggling everything to keep life balanced. Finding time for yourself to think and relax is so important. The question is, how can we do that when things are fast-paced in this day and age? We all have busy schedules and can't seem to keep up. When we are trying to lose weight and need more energy, there are so many diets out there, but what most people don't realize is that what may work for one person will not work for another. So how do you know which one?If you are tired of going on a roller-coaster diet and losing weight and gaining it back, sometimes more than you started, if you are tired of being tired and need more energy, if life in general is a challenge, then look no further. As a certified health coach, I am able to help others overcome challenges in ways they never thought they could before and keep a schedule without feeling like you're a chicken running around with your head cut off. I will walk you through each step to customize and personalize your own way of making healthy habit changes that will help balance all areas of your life. You will be able to see yourself changing your habits, your schedule, and feel less stressed, knowing how to look deep inside to understand what's slowing you down or stopping you from achieving your goals. My prayer is that God will bless you through this transformation to become healthier, happier, and a better version of yourself.

What shall wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What shall make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. How precious is that flow that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know nothing but the blood of Jesus, and for this reason, I can say it is well with my soul. My sins are washed away and now I'm clean. This book is written with the intention that all who read it will draw closer to God. I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of salvation. It is my utmost desire that people will see Jesus one day face to face. I am deeply overwhelmed that the Lord has chosen me to be a mouthpiece to him. Psalms 32:8, he will teach us the way that we shall go, he will instruct you and guide you. All you need is to trust him. He is a spirit, and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 3:16, "e;For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believe him shall not perish but shall have everlasting life."e; Romans 9:33, "e;But as many has received him to them he gave power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."e; What a wonderful promise! And his amazing love for humanity. Why don't you just thank him right now for what he has done already on the cross and what he has for you for tomorrow. One simple method is to invite him in your heart and ask him to come in, tell him you are sorry for your sins, please forgive me. He's patiently waiting for your call. It is such a privilege to know the Lord and to encourage others to draw close to him
You might wonder how an average girl, living a normal life, could find herself in the pits of addiction. I wondered that very thing. How could I have ever allowed myself to be controlled by a pain pill? So I decided to trace my steps, and find out exactly where I went so wrong; that's how this book came into existence. My story was written entirely by me. It's an honest account of my journey from being broken to becoming a far more beautiful version of myself. When I say beautiful, I'm not referring to physical beauty; I am referring to my soul, my spirit, and the essence of who I am. There is much that I am ashamed of, and sincerely wish I could undo. However, I have realized that I cannot change the past; I can only learn from it and make the present and future better than I thought possible. So, I choose to look at my journey as a blessing, for it's made me into the person that I am today, and I'm extremely proud of who I have become. It wasn't easy; it required a lot of hard work and determination, but it was worth every bit of pain that I endured. My sincere hope is that my story can serve as a lesson for others. I want my nightmare to prevent yours. And if, by chance, you're in the middle of your own nightmare, I want you to know that I am living, breathing proof that there is a happy ending waiting for you. Allow me to share with you what I never wanted anyone to know, my addiction and how I overcame it. Freedom and a bright future are waiting for you. Let me help you get there.

This little book is about a truly blessed paradise, a place of solace for two people who are eternal soulmates. Lakewood is truly a unique, tranquil and beautiful place. It is a mixture of trees, rolling pastures, and a pristine lake. The authors call Lakewood home and have shared it with family and friends for over thirty-seven years. Lakewood is not just a place full of natural beauty and mystique, but it is a place of precious dreams and memories. There are stories about the seven-acre lake's construction during the gasoline shortage of WWII. An amazing combination of mules, men and muscle were the required fuel for its construction. Other stories recount memorable wild animals, pets, and adventures that the couple, who called Lakewood home, experienced over the thirty-seven years' worth of adventures. The authors sincerely hope that this little book brings you peace and solace in this wonderful but sometimes hectic world and you can share in experiencing the magic of Lakewood.

Confessions of a Coward is a book intended to give men the freedom to acknowledge their fears and failures as men and more specifically as husbands and fathers. Once they find the strength to do so, they can then discover the path to courageous manhood. This is not a how-to book written from an "e;expert"e; perspective. This book does not give the answers but attempts to point men to the answers found in the grace, mercy, and truth of God. This is truly a confession of sorts and hopefully a road map out of the abyss of the cowardly lifestyle far too many Christian men are living today.
Ministers counsel with members of the opposite sex every day. It is often an important function of their jobs. What could possibly go wrong with this type of relationship? Unfortunately, our adversary (1 Peter 5:8) can take a seemingly innocent situation and create havoc. Good people with good intentions can find themselves entangled in a sinful situation as they cross fences that should never be traversed. That tragedy could even happen to a minister. In this book, we will explore areas such as geographical, locational, sensorial, and emotional fences that ministers, and those with whom they counsel, would do well to respect. Is there hope for ministers who have crossed the line and subsequently have repented of their sins? Should a minister simply resign from ministry and pursue another type of vocation since he might feel that his "e;moral authority"e; is severely compromised? Our adversary would say without reservation, "e;Yes, by all means quit!"e; God, on the other hand, tells us to never give up! This God we serve is willing and happy to forgive. God not only can help a minister to continue as an effective servant of His but also can help him to grow even more and be a powerful and effective force in His kingdom. This book is helpful not only to ministers but also to all people who from day to day are in various types of men/women relationships. Our working conditions throughout the United States have changed drastically over the past few generations. More women are the workforce outside of the home. The Apostle Paul challenges Christian's to "e;walk circumspectly"e; (Ephesians5:15). This means to step carefully, to be sure that we are on solid spiritual ground with each step we take. I believe Fence Sense can be helpful to us in that endeavor.
