The turning stomach, the headaches, the frustrations, the weariness, the expenses, the associated pain, the glory of God. Step Forward dives into the world of Daniel-style fasting by answering common questions asked by a common congregation, while exploring each feeling and emotion associated with adjusting your lifestyle with only one intention: to bring God glory. In a simple-to-follow language, the author speaks from scripture, accompanied by personal experience, shares his understanding, and offers over sixty recipes and meal ideas for one of the most difficult to accomplish tasks the Bible lays out for us: fasting. You will be challenged to look at fasting in a way that causes your entire life to stand up and step forward.

Larry has come to understand that there are two basic ways that the Bible can be taught. The first is the most prevalent. It consists of telling the Christian the things that he or she should be doing and the things that he or she should not be doing, sometimes accompanied with relatively meaningless ways of doing or not doing these things. The second way to teach the Bible is to teach it by revealing what God says in the Bible, which we call expository preaching or teaching. I am very much in favor of expository teaching. If a Christian is taught the Bible, not taught about the Bible, but actually taught to understand God and God's desire to live in and through us in a fulfilling meaningful way, the Christian will be able to determine, for him- or herself, what to do or what not to do, as it becomes a part of the person's life, rather than just something added to the person's life. If living the vibrant Christian life through knowing God and His Word becomes the desire and goal of the Christian life, learned from the Holy Spirit through God's Word, that inner force becomes an external force far more useful to God than being told what to do or what not to do. That desire to teach Christians in a way to build that inner force of God through knowing Him has been mine for many years. This book contains Bible studies to help develop that inner force that is only by grace.

What seemed to be one of the darkest times in our life turned out to be unparalleled. We were all created by God, and he has never taken his hands off of us. We can never be snatched from his hands. He held us close and revealed wonderful secrets that transformed our lives and catapulted us to our purpose, and he will do the same for you. Life happens, people come and people go, but he is ever present to renew, refresh and restore us, then he will prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies as a reward and as an expression of his unfailing and unrelenting love.

It embodies a great message for children and adults as well!"e; William Adcock, LCSW"e;Oh my gosh. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow! I really loved it! You guys captured the crucifixion in such a beautiful and unique way. This story is going to be for so many audiences! I love that it is honest and tells the real story about what happened at Calvary, but in such a way that younger audiences can enjoy and learn more about Jesus and what He did for them, too. But I also love that I can sit and read it at 19 with a deep, personal relationship with the Lord, and be moved to weep with the mother tree. I can't say enough good things about it! Thank you so much for letting me read it before the rest of the world. I'm definitely going to just read it over and over again, and I am confident that this story is going to be read and loved by many other people as well!"e; -- Jacqueline Winstead, college student

Hector, a vile man possessed by legions of demons, trembled as he watched the gruesome demonic creature shudder while its body gyrated from the strain of syphoning the soft, delicate internal organs from its prey. The creature lifted its repugnant head and bellowed a ghastly roar as it sucked in one last drop of bloody carnage. Then it carelessly tossed the decimated carcass across the rancid swamp to land on the massive pile of broken bones, petrified skin, and excrement. Terrified but consumed with evil, Hector and his demons, slinked away from the swamp pond and began to devise a wicked plan for the small town of Ocean Breeze where he grew up. Tia Menndez is an ordinary high school student in Ocean Breeze who suddenly finds her life turned upside down when her friends are missing after a spring break party. At the same time, Tia discovers that she is a cherub-a specialized angel that God has created and blessed with extraordinary powers. With the help of two powerful angels, Azimi and Alcander, Tia is compelled to begin a search to find her friends before something horrible happens to them. As this journey begins, Tia meets two boys: Garrett, a well-balanced Christian on fire for God, and Blaine, who spends his life in a drug-induced stupor. With Garrett and Blaine tugging at Tia's heart, the three unlikely teenagers fight a battle with Hector and his beast, demonic creatures, and angelic beings for domination of their souls.

Man's plans and God's plans seldom match up. Example: man wants to rebuild the original temple on the original site. One problem, something is occupying that location, only the second holiest site in the Muslim faith (Dome of the Rock). By using the fog of war, a top secret plan of the Israeli government can have this problem removed. Plus give them the ordained right to reconstruct the temple. Before this plan can be put in to action, several things need to line up. First, the temple cannot be constructed until the priesthood has been established. This would require someone to be selected as a high priest. Second, a large amount of gold will be required to reconstruct all the furnishings required to be placed in the temple. This amount is so far above what the Israeli government has. Third, will the construction of the temple be justification to start a third world war?The most important piece of all, to make the temple real, it needs to have the real Ark. Not just a wooden box resembling the description of the Ark. But it must be able to display the power that only the Ark can produce. The ending of the first book, the temple is built and the Ark is placed back in the Holy of Holies. But now God's plan as a few changes to make. "e;Return to My Mountain"e; is the command that the angel Metatron gives to the high priest. To return the Ark back to the sacred mountain in man's mind is a simple command. Now the rest the story, he must also bring twelve leaders of the major religions back to the mountain. Here, God will give them new and final laws to live by.

Pudgie is trying to earn money for the Circus, but his great big feet keep getting him into trouble. A fun filled adventure with full colored illustrations for children ages 3-7.

The Lord placed the name Alberto in my heart years ago, and I knew then that one day I would write about him. The book Alberto's Coat of Love is about teaching children how to deal with a loss, not only the loss through death but also of a friendship, a pet, or something personal, etc. The Lord showed me how this would help the child/children understand and at the same time help them better able to cope with the situation happening in their lives. This book will help adults as well. It is simple but effective, as it focuses on the relationship between a five-year-old boy and his grandfather and the lessons in life learned through simple everyday tasks. The Lord also showed me the strength of children, and although at times it appears they are not listening to what we are telling them, on the contrary, they are holding on to our every word. I pray everyone who reads this book will be filled with peace. Enjoy!

Unanswered Prayers is the story of first love, the kind that stays with you for a lifetime. The story follows the life of Amber Lindsey from her first discovery of love with all its hopes and dreams of the future, through the curves and disappointments life can throw at her, to the reality that life and love can sometimes be a surprise she never expected. The story begins in the late sixties when a lot was happening and the world was changing. The war in Vietnam was raging. The hippie movement was becoming a sign of the times. But life in a small town moved along at the same slow pace, trying to brace against the changes all around. Some managed to maintain their family values and pass through that time period fairly unscathed by the culture. The story is set in the beautiful small wine country town of Ukiah, California, a short distance north of San Francisco and inland from the giant redwood trees, a perfect setting to watch love grow and change with the times. Amber dreamed and prayed for the future she wanted, but God had a different plan for her life.

The raven in turn accepts the old woman's help and heals physically, thus beginning a deep friendship, and God orchestrated it all.
