"Who Am I?" and "Why Am I Here?" are questions asked by most Christians. In the age of knowledge in which we now live, where everyone is discussing destiny and purpose, we cannot avoid asking these questions about ourselves and seeking answers. The Bible answers these questions and more with an accurate recording of a diverse human history and God's interaction with His prized creation. The culture of Scripture is supernatural, as God demonstrates His power to create, but most importantly, His love to redeem fallen humanity. In the depths of Scripture, a profound revelation echoes through time: "You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High." (Psalm 82:6 - NKJV). Asaph, in 1100 B.C., and Jesus, in A.D. 350, reiterated this enigmatic truth-a truth that Christianity has cautiously avoided for centuries. Who am I as a child of God? Let us together embark on this compelling journey into theology and human existence that challenges the very foundations of conventional belief. What does it mean to be created in the image and likeness of God? Could God have woven His own essence into the DNA of humanity at the moment of creation? And if so, what profound implications does this have for our destiny as those who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? Let us not shy away from this conversation any longer. Humanity has a very rich, powerful, and supernatural history as God moves us through types and shadows into a reality that will blow our minds. Delve into the heart of biblical narrative as we unfold the layers of meaning hidden in the DNA of our humanity, a sacred divine inheritance gifted to us by the Creator Himself. The rich content of this book will provoke us to reconsider the very essence of our existence and unravel our true identity in Christ. Each chapter will begin to peel away the layers of our identity to reveal the truth embedded in the NOW reality of those who have been given the power to be called sons of God. This is not just a book but an invitation to reawaken to the divine potential within and discover the extraordinary destiny that awaits those who dare to embrace the truth: we are sons of the Most High God.

Major companies and the very first industrialists with huge influence, including John D. Rockefeller in 1863 and Andrew Carnegie in 1885, developed during this particular time.Market Volatility and Speculation: Market speculation abounds on the stock market throughout this particular time.

The law brought about severe controversy and aggravated tensions between the South and north.Abolitionist Movement: The North was seeing a developing campaign which demanded the quick conclusion of slavery.

King David said, "Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." (Psalms 119:18)If you see in the Ten Commandments not beauty but utilitarian rules or inflexible dogmatism, you have not seen the law. If you sought a world whose history is governed by God's universal, objective rules but see only moral anarchy and injustice, you have not seen the law at work. If you have been seeking a path to maturity and spiritual peace outside of God's law because it seems irrelevant, you have not seen the law at work for you. Talking history, this book proves God judged ten world empires according to the Ten Commandments, one commandment per empire, chronologically. As prophesied by Job and Revelation, these events demonstrate the power of the commandments to shape not only world history, but shape your history.Talking personal growth in worldly matters, this book shows the commandments are seeds. Once sprouted, they power a Growth Pattern which King Solomon put in Ecclesiastes to guide us through our time "under the sun".Talking spiritual growth in heavenly matters, this book shows how those sprouting seeds also power Jesus' Harvest Pattern from Matthew. By it you can reap spiritual harvests, like victory over depression, anxiety, purposelessness and the fear of death.Talking emotional support, this book shows how the Psalms are meditations on the law. The psalter is carefully arranged into sections. Psalms 1-28 are ordered as a companion to Solomon's Growth pattern, with meditations for every stage of life. Another collection of fifty psalms shows that God has prophetically "been there" for his people from beginning to end. They are arranged to show that God knew how his children would feel during every era in history, marking every turbulent emotion and answering heartfelt prayers with action and consolation. You will see that God knows how you are feeling, listens to your prayers, and has a plan to comfort you.Proverbs 9 tells us that Lady Wisdom has built her house. This book will walk you through her blueprints. The precepts of the Law are the foundation of her house.Lastly, the epilogue shows from the Bible God's specific, itemized, quantified plan for the liberation of women from oppression, presenting the Motherhood pattern. Jesus will not leave any of his Father's children behind.

The Family That Wasn't is an absurd fable for all ages (from middle grade to adult).

He invents a new and perfect family so convincing that he suddenly finds himself living inside this imaginary world. But John finds that he too has changed. He stares at his image in the mirror and begins to wonder if it is all a horrible mistake. Only trouble is, now he can't remember who he really is. He only knows that he must leave this false family at once. His sole clue is the name, John Boggle. To find his true family, he embarks on a cross country quest. Along the way, he encounters other characters who have also lost touch with their families. Together they must find a way to reconstruct the connections to bring back the family that once was.
