I wrote The Modern Version Incursion because there is a need in the church for Christians to see plainly that the modern versions of the Bible are counterfeits. God wrote one Bible, not three hundred! The Bible tells us plainly that God's word is forever settled in heaven, as Psalm 119:89 teaches. This means the word of God is established and firm in heaven.The modern versions attack the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith and especially attack the Lord Jesus Christ. The modern versions are based on the second-century Gnostic beliefs that were prevalent in Alexandria, Egypt. They disbelieved that Jesus was the Son of God and that He was not the incarnation of deity.What is really unhealthy is when the pastor of a church pushes these counterfeits and convinces their congregation that they are the most accurate. I sincerely desire Christians to look at their modern version and then compare it with the King James Bible and ask the question, why is theirs so different?We will look at 747 verses, which should be more than enough to convince even the skeptic. Christians will search out a neighborhood to live in, check out a mutual fund or stock, research a car before they buy; but when it comes to Bibles, they couldn't care less what they use. It shows how Christian commitment is lacking, and the weakness of modern Christianity attests to that fact. If one uses a counterfeit, they will be weak in their walk. Since the 1901 ASV came out, the church has become so weak it needs to be put on life support. When you start making the comparisons in this book, you will see that Christianity has been sold a bill of goods.

Despite the array of colors set ablaze in both field and forest by the sun's radiant autumn beams, the inhabitants of the Pasturelands are wrapped in the shadow and gloom of sorrow. Dhane, the loved and respected lord of Havenstone, who many years before had delivered his homeland from perils of corruption, legend, and lore, has died without proclaiming an heir to his throne. His undeclared son, Dhresden, a half-blood warrior whose past is shrouded in mystery, rumor, and scandal, has acted faithfully as Dhane's personal protector and chief trainer of the military for many years. Despite the political and social obstacles that would oppose him should Dhresden seek to take his rightful place as ruler, there are also treacherous schemes already in motion that could not only thwart his ascension, but also end his life. His quest to return to Havenstone is fraught with danger and hardship, and though individuals from neighboring lands band together to aid in his adventure, the success of his endeavor will remain in question until the end.Though Dhresden is often a target of disdain because of his questionable beginnings, he himself behaves honorably, inspiring others to his cause, not to success at any cost, but to a crusade of honor and justice, recognizing that the journey is just as important as the destination. The friendships, love, losses, and pain that he endures will further sculpt him into a fit ruler, should he manage to survive these and other perils, and be crowned the lord of Havenstone.

That person can wave the lion away, and the lion will go away. If they know themselves more profoundly, who and what they are, and believe, then they can pet the lion and ask the lion to play.

Mark Bohaichuk walks the reader through logical and clear ways of thinking about Christianity and the decline in church attendance.Is it a coincidence that as people leave the Christian faith for materialism that our world is slowly being submerged in chaos and an out-of-control politically correct movement?

May you all put God first in your life. Love yourself and you will then be able to reap all the blessings you are entitled to. I'm encouraging all to stop looking for others to make you feel complete. Stop being a hater and jealous of others. Build confidence within yourself.Praying that all are able to release those years of hidden pain that you have kept a secret within yourself for fear of guilt, shame, and embarrassment. Looking deep within yourself and being able to forgive all past hurts that have been caused. Forgiving the offender being able to release the past in order for you to embrace a blessed and beautiful future. Being able to be happy for others when its their season and not yours to be blessed. To have more empathy for someone else and not be self-absorbed.God bless you all who supported me on this journey, and I pray that you have been blessed in some way. If this book only reaches one soul, I know that is whom God had intended for me to reach, so I have accomplished the plan.The impossible is possible when you lean and depend on the Lord!Blessed Beyond Measure!!!K.

I believe no one wants to go through a life like this, but I did. One day my life started flashing before me. And even though my parents struggled through this life with us, I treasure every moment we went through. I love them so! This is a story that truly happened. My dad served in the USA Air Force/Army/and National Guard. And every time he came back to us, he worked while he was at home. He moved us a lot across Texas, depending where he served. He tried his best to keep us together and avoid being noticed of our conditions, and being a boy through all of that time, I was not told anything of my dad. It was just that we went through very hard times, and that's what I never wanted to think. I am not perfect, just one who has been through so much, till now. I still have faith in Jesus Christ. I flew out of a car, saw a UFO, got beaten up, had out-of-body experiences, run over by a car, cancer survivor, suffered a heart attack, and am still here.
This book is about my trail in life and how God stepped in on my behalf and showed me that He is God all by His self. Many days I want to give up but He wouldn't let me do it for just this reason. So my life story could help someone come out of bondage and be set free from that very thing that have you feeling like you are not worthy, and God can't forgive you or that. He can't use you for His use. But guess what, I was one of those people, but my God delivered me, set me free, and renewed my mind. It's nothing too hard for God, and nothing you could do that will separate you from the love of God. Amen.

"He Alone Is Worthy" is a devotional that uses the Word of God to inspire and stimulate prayer. Jesus is the Living Word-He lived out the Word of God as he walked among us over 2000 years ago.

I could have chosen a sports car or a women half my age, but the year I turned forty, I chose a carousel. This magical carousel gave me an incredible ride into midlife, turning what could have been a period of crisis into one of amazing creativity.Midlife is the time for going home to the Self and giving intense attention to living soulfully. I did not set out to write about transition; I was always going to describe the fascinating process that had brought Chuck Kaparich along on his journey.The metaphor was just too strong. I could not help seeing the similarities of Chuck's pilgrimage and mine. As I observed Chuck's transition, I was experiencing my own. The magic of a carousel spoke to the midlife transitions of two men from different parts of the country. Two kindred souls met and received the gift of the carousel's magic.

Writing this book was inspired by how I see the world and the church today. I look at what has happened to God's people and cry. God set rules for us to follow and directions to help his people survive. In Revelation, God speaks to the world about the past, present, and future. I see what he's talking about, and it's not good. If man will not change, what will happen to man? He will not be joyous. I put in this book some things you should take a very close look at to see if you see what I see. Also, take a close look in the mirror at yourself and see what God sees. I put a special chapter on the mind and how, when, and why it needs to change.
