God's way is simple.What you are holding is a compilation of letters that have been sent many thousands of times to people of all spiritual backgrounds and cultural leanings. It is a gateway into a deeper connection with your heavenly Father because it is an expression of the love relationship that He has with His children. This expression is found not only in the words that are written but also in the manifest willingness of the Father to partner with His children in writing them. He has demonstrated through this modest exercise in obedience that it is not through the wise, the mighty, and the noble that He furthers His Kingdom purposes on the earth. He rejoices, rather, in His love for His children and in our uncomplicated willingness to walk His path. "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight" (Luke 10:21). As you meditate on this blend of Spirit-breathed words and earthen tones, allow yourself to drink deeply of the revelation of who God is with you. Allow yourself, if only briefly, to let go of the high expressions of what you feel is expected of you. Recline in the embrace of your Father, who delights in the expression of His love for you and through you.

Hunger. It comes in all shapes and forms. Physical hunger….gotta have that cheeseburger! Spiritual hunger….need some answers to my questions God! And sometimes they meet…..the physical and the spiritual hunger and when they do, it's truly a divine feast! When I was growing up, mealtime was the BEST! We took time to talk to each other, discuss our day and have a prayer to express thankfulness for our blessings! It was my favorite time of the day because it combined my two favorite things…..good food for the body and good faith-based conversation for the soul. In writing "Feeding the Body and the Soul" I have tried to once again capture that loving, caring, growing, learning atmosphere that we experienced around the dinner table. The wonderful part about this book is not only it's content but it's flexibility. It can be used in a family setting, a small study group setting or a book club setting. With timely topics for discussion, delicious, easy recipes to share and even some study questions to get things started, everyone can walk away "full"! Come join me on this journey of reading, studying, discussing and eating…..it promises to be a fulfilling experience!!

Female Voices from the Bible contains poems of rhyme and free verse about various women who proved themselves of courage and action to accomplish an act that others could not. In this volume, we see pictures of daring, faithful, prayerful women leading the way, often when a man would not. In a time when it was supposed to be a man's world, women proved that they had the motive, the strength, and the willingness to accomplish what needed to be done. Today's movement among women in leadership can be seen first in females of the Bible.

In the beginning, God created a perfect world that included people who had a faultless relationship with Him. Not long after that, there was a spiritual war that took place here on earth with evil against Adam and his wife, Eve. Unfortunately for mankind, Adam and Eve lost this spiritual war, and everything on earth changed. This is when sin entered the world, spiritually and physically. This a true story about how God used a man to set in motion a plan to get back what humanity had lost spiritually. God made a covenant with this man to show that He was true to His word. However, there was one big stipulation: God would have to die.

How often have you wished that things could have been different in your life, that you would have taken advantage of some positive life-altering opportunities, but because of shame and embarrassment, you just settled for whatever was thrown your way, even when God strategically placed certain people in your life with words of wisdom to encourage you.But . . . because you wanted a quick fix, your problems spiraled out of control and the results were one disaster after the other. That still small voice that soothingly speaks positive and loving words into your ear should never be ignored, for there is a great deal of truth in the old cliche that says Experience is the best teacher.I, Wanda, was afforded an opportunity that many people may never experience. Although much of the hurt and heartache I suffered were the consequences of bad judgments I made. You see, I am no longer here, but I speak from my grave. This is my story; I hope my ending will enhance your beginning.

Welcome to the Princess Divine series. This is a series of short stories that introduce children to God, the perils of sin, the power of praying God's word, and righteous living. Common sins which plague our nation and destroy families will be explored in these series to include adultery, homosexuality, fornication, greed, lying, pride, pornography, and drug addiction. The writer was inspired to write this story from a revelation the Lord revealed to her in January 2012. God impressed upon writer's heart that if we meditate on His word, it will manifest in the natural. We do battle in the spirit realm, not in the natural. He further revealed to writer that power comes from the Word--speak the Word, think on the Word, act on the Word, said the Lord. May all of our children aspire to be "sin slayers" like Princess Divine. God bless you and the fruit of your womb.

I stand in awe of Christine's honesty, transparency, courage, and the majesty of her loving herself enough to heal herself through the sharing of her story. This book is a must read for parents and children alike who have been victims of domestic violence. Christine tears down the age-old adage of "what goes on in the house stays in this house." This book gives a voice to the voiceless children who are victims of domestic violence who suffer in silence. Dr. Lateshia Woodley, LPC, NCCCounseling Psychologist, Author, Speaker Letting Go of the Child WithinHave you ever had a child tug on you to get your attention? They will tug and tug and sometimes call your name until you answer. This is what hidden wounds will do. No matter how much you try to bury it, it's still there. No matter how many times you try to forget it, it's still there. No matter how much you try to move forward, it's still there, tugging until you answer. "I Remember" is the journey of a woman remembering her past, forgiving her present, and letting go of the little girl within to save her future. "I Remember" will take you on a journey of uncovering masked wounds to reveal the undiscovered you by coming face to face with your truths. Christine draws scripture to reveal how remembering, forgiving, and letting go set individuals free to reach their full potential by facing truth to release the power that is within.

The practice of competing in sports has been around a long time. Archaeology provides valuable information on games and athletics in the ancient world. In I Corinthians 9:2427, there is information of running a race to win and a man fighting. It concludes that the goal is to win a prize that will last forever. Man seems to enjoy competing. Perhaps boredom has a way of creating something to do. Over time, new sports and games are developed. In this day and time, commercialization will become involved as individuals strive to make money. As sports grow in popularity, rules are written and guidelines set. These regulating documents tend to expand as the sport grows in popularity. Terminology for the sport will be refined and expanded to explain the game and its rules.Sports and Spirituality is a series of devotional books. Each book relates spiritual principles and scriptures to terminology for a particular sport. Terms related to the sport are defined and then used as the central focus to develop devotional thoughts. Each book presents specific devotional thoughts related to the term being discussed. Scriptures are suggested to supplement the devotional study. Studies can be in a group format or individual. The book is written to spark interest for the sports enthusiast who wishes to increase his or her spiritual commitment. Also, it can serve as a devotional guide for those interested in sports and physical activity. It can make an excellent gift book. Everything we do in life should center on serving God, even when playing a sport. We play a sport or game for fun, but we must play the game of life for God. If we ever stop serving God, all will be lost.

Greetings!I am a family nurse practitioner with a doctorate degree in nursing. I first embarked on this journey of living and being healthy to be the best I could be in loving myself. I felt that by loving me, I was getting connected and closer to God. I no longer wanted to go through the motion of losing weight, but to reach for something more that will last a life time, physically as well as spiritually. My strength came by putting God first in my daily life. I wanted to teach others that they too can be healthier, have peace of mind and joy in their lives.I am educating my patients and others that one can lose the weight by living a healthy lifestyle. I am living proof as a diabetic, that it can be done. I have lost fifty-eight lbs.It was not easy. As we all know, nothing in life worth doing is easy. I still go back and forth, but the frequency is lesser. When I do get off track, I am aware and have the discipline in getting back on track.It takes consistency and daily discipline where your old habits are replaced by new ones. I educate my patients and others that when you change how you think, you change your direction on how you live.My patients would give me feedback that it was a continual struggle for them in keeping the pounds off. As soon as problems would surface, the weight they had lost would be erase when old eating habits (usual for comfort) would return. Many patients just gave up, feeling that this is their norm. I am teaching my patients that caring for themselves is to be proactive in the daily decisions they make in promoting their health and well-being. The journey of health is not about taking just the weight off but embarking on a life long journey in being the best they can be; mind, body, and spirit. By bringing all these three elements together, they become the complete healthy vibrant version of self. In conclusion, I realized the battle was not between myself and food but what was in my mind. I accepted the fact that how I felt about myself was a reflection of what I ate, that it begins in the mind. To change this direction, I had to change my thinking. This is where the book entitled, Food for Thought, was written to reach out to others on this life long journey of getting back to healthy living. As a practitioner in internal medicine, I have seen by helping others that thinking and eating healthy has turned their lives around not only in losing weight but also in feeling good about themselves. I have patients who are losing the weight, getting their diabetes, blood pressures, and cholesterol under control. In addition, these same patients are using less medications, having more energy, and having happier moods. So, let us start by doing this journey together, in reading the book, entitled Food for Thought. Thank you. Dr. Deborah Hollimon DNPFNPC 1

He Will Provide is a collection of poems and two short stories. The poems vary from everyday life to thoughts of God. One of the stories is about the ladies in the Bible. One day I was telling my daughter about Deborah, and she said, "Wait, Deborah. I didn't know that the name Deborah would be in the Bible." So I decided to tell Deborah's and few other ladies' story. The other story is about a young lady that grew in the church but sort of lost her way. But you know God is good, and she found her way back to the Lord. It was a little scary, but she did it.

The angel Machaira has experienced the ever-warming embrace of the almighty God. Now she has sacrificed that to defend children from the evils of a fallen world, a world where pedophiles have rights and a child murderer is innocent until proven guilty. Machaira will stop at nothing to serve her own kind of penance on these rogues. Legend has it that once an angel falls from grace, they can never go back, that they are doomed to hell. That makes her a very dangerous angel. If she's going to hell regardless, why not enjoy the ride. Machaira will hunt these people down and show them every courtesy that they showed their victims, and along the way, she realizes what it means to be human.

These words I have written in Messenger of Simple Truth are written with deep love, simplicity, and truth. They are from my heart of personal experiences and pain in life, the highs and lows and everything in between.My hope is that these poems will point you the reader to the Living Word Jesus Christ. He is and always will be who and what we all need. Please enjoy and may God richly bless each and every one in His care.

"Michael was just fifteen years old when he started dieting. He wasn't fat, he wasn't thin either. But he was a strong minded teenager who was determined to change his own life in a very dramatic way. Michael's obsession with his appearance drew him into a death struggle with Bulimia Nervosa. Sherry and I believed that there was no hope for Michael. We knew that we were losing our youngest son, but at the height of our desperation, God came and touched our lives in a very powerful way. When tragedy enters your life and you feel that you have no hope, don't be afraid. The Lord is close to those who call upon Him. He is only a prayer away, and when He comes, He reveals Himself as the one true God, the Almighty".

We never know what tomorrow will bring us whether with family, financial, health, or other issues. An annual medical checkup for Linda at the age of nearly sixty-two in December 2006 resulted in the worst words you would want to hear, "you have cancer." Subsequent medical tests and oncologist evaluations resulted in the next worst words to hear, "you have myelodysplastic syndrome cancer and your 'pink-slip' gives you twenty-four to thirty-six months to live." And these words were followed by "you need to get your affairs in order." Discussions with the doctor indicated they would keep her as comfortable as possible through treatments by chemotherapy, blood transfusions, shots of procrit and neupogen, as well as, pain and other comforting medicines. What do you do with this death sentence given to you by the medical profession when you feel you are in the prime of your life and have so much to look forward to in the future? Do you give up and go along with the doctors recommendations? Or do you put on the armor of God and fight?Linda chose to fight armed with God's sword of the spirit, breastplate of righteousness, loins girded with truth, and sandals wrapped with the hope of peace. The next three years were no cake-walk, but many times felt like hell-on-earth. This is the story and diary record of how she won with her faithfulness to God and His faithfulness to her.We hope you can gain strength from the story of the fight that "only God could win."
