Sin embargo, también es muy claro, directo, sin tecnicismos, personal y pastoral."Alexander Whyte Thomas Goodwin (1600 - 1680) fue un teólogo y líder del congregacionalismo puritano.

These sketches of real people, and their stories of redemption and refinement, reveal human gem stones set apart for the King of Kings. God is able to do the miraculous, bringing the lowly opium addict up from the dirt, or the proud scholar down from his pedestal, transforming them both into brothers and sisters-peers-in the Kingdom family. Story after story in this small book testify to the reality of God and the truth of His word.From the foreword, "Whole libraries have been written on Christian evidences. The resources of philosophic and scientific research have been drawn up in defence of the Christian faith. Yet important as these are, it may be questioned whether any or all of them together bring home to the heart such conviction as does the story of a redeemed soul-a soul lifted out of the fearful pit and miry clay-cleansed, purified and established in righteousness. Whatever intellectual difficulties may occur, a countenance illumined with a light that is not of this world is irresistible."Prolific author Rosalind Goforth, with her husband Jonathan, were Presbyterian missionaries in China from 1888 to 1935. They were pioneers in many ways, including "family ministry," where they included their children in their travels and evangelistic work. The family also endured harrowing trials and narrowly escaped death during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. These delightful vignettes of transforming grace are gleaned from their personal experiences in China. From the introduction, "The little book is sent forth with the earnest hope and prayer that those who read these sketches may come to see the truth of what Paul said: 'God hath made of ONE BLOOD all men under heaven.'"First published in 1920, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to be presented to a new audience.

This is the end of my story...but somehow it is also a beginning I'm at the mercy of creatures with none. There is no escape and no way out of what has always been my destiny. The vampires controlled my life before I even knew that they existed. But I am not without my own power. I love my guys and I think they must love me in their own vampire way. So when I am given the chance to enact revenge on what was done to me and so many others, my enemies will find I am not the young girl who was once their servant, or the love sick paramour who wanted so desperately to be accepted. No, I am the flame who has come to burn any who get in my way. *The reader should know this is book 3 in the Trials of Blood series. This is the happy ending and it completes the trilogy*

"The story of a girl begins with a boy. On Christmas morning, 1982, nine-year-old Jude Bendz survives the shocking and mysterious death of his twin sister, Mary. Bewildered by grief, he is comforted when, miraculously, Mary's ghost appears, her spirit quickly informing a series of fantastic apparitions through which her life - and death - come into clearer focus. Problems soon arise, however, when his sister, promising salvation, places him at the center of a wide, yet narrowing plot that increasingly puts his life in mortal danger. A novel that transcends its historical moment, Being Dead brilliantly subverts the conventions of the traditional Ghost story. Reconstructing her own death through a series of spooky visitations and cryptic clues that, in time, seem to assume the shape of formal challenges, Mary creates for Jude a blueprint that blurs the line between truth and revenge, love and hate, an account that threatens to shatter their family's perfect image. Luminous, evocative, and set amidst the decline of American exceptionalism and the nuclear family, this is at once an enthralling adventure, a stirring love story, and a work of striking power in the face of stark solitude. As Mary interweaves elements of a set past that portends a harrowing future, life rears up large and ripples against death's certain pressures, generating mesmerizing suspense and surprising empathy. Yielding poignant insights into the nature of love and loss, savagery and splendor, Being Dead asserts itself as a new American gothic-hugely powerful, majestically unassuming, and keenly unsettling"--

Webster defines "preparation" as the action or process of making something ready for use or the service of getting ready for some occasion, test, or duty. God prepares leaders for greatness, but they must be willing to allow Him to take them through "His" process. The journey where God is taking you is not AN EVENT; it's A PROCESS. This process isn't easy but it is necessary. John Wooden, the legendary Hall of Fame basketball coach says, "When opportunity comes it's too late to prepare. If you want to be a successful leader, learn to lead BEFORE you have a leadership position". It is in the preparation process where God refines, renews, purifies, transforms, and prepares his leaders for service. While serving as an Associate Minister, I remember asking God, "When will it be my TURN?" I experienced seasons of frustration, irritation, and agitation; but God kept me when I wanted to give up. Looking back now, it was well worth the wait. Through the process, my faith matured, my gifts were discovered, my weaknesses were exposed, and my character was developed. This book will give some principles on how to serve with purpose instead of seeking a position.
