Leadership is one of the most demanding roles one can occupy. The interior, personal life of the leader is often scrutinized and certainly plays a significant role in the success or failure of a ministry. What most people fail to realize is that church leaders are just like everyone else. They are not immune to the problems faced by those who follow them. They often come from dysfunctional family backgrounds; experienced traumatic events in childhood, or just get worn out from the demands of ministry. These experiences shape the inner life of the leader and are formational for the leader's soul and personality. The pressures of ministry, even very successful ministries, will exert a weight on the soul of a leader causing it to crack. If these cracks are not healed, they become wider and weaken the leader, often leading to failure or moral breakdown. In this book, the author offers insights into the experiences of several people, most of whom occupied leadership positions. He provides thoughtful perspectives on the root causes of the problems experienced by them and the impact on those who followed them. Like Jesus, we are to be "scarred" healers, not wounded ones. A scar is a healed wound. As scars mark and confirm the identity of our Savior, so they mark and confirm the identity of all who follow Him in serving as leaders. May this book equip leaders with valuable insights, enabling them to move from being wounded to being healed, resulting in many years of fruitful, productive and God-honoring ministry. While not an exhaustive treatment of this important topic, may it provide a starting point on your journey toward healing.

Cancer does not have the final say so. In this book, you will discover the victory that awaits you after you have persevered through pain and discomforting times. May this book inspire you to grasp, hope, and see your faith triumph as a result of the love that God displays through Charity. Above all, may you be encouraged in the faith, knowing that you are never alone.

We've lived through the worst events in human history. The world is forever, irrevocably changed, and yet I know a secret you may not want to hear... things are only going to get worse.The global government claims to have everything under control. The wars are dying down, and the death flu has burned itself out. But in North America, the tiny population of survivors are desperately struggling to survive each and every day. So priority one is to find shelter, and priority two is to get the word out. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have run wild over the world, but there are more judgements coming.

We risk our lives everyday. But that's what it takes to stand up for the truth. We see past the political spin, and the excuses of the main stream media. These are the End Days prophesied about in the Bible. My name is Hank Downes. I'm just a regular guy living through the worst period of human history. This is my story.

Shiloh Williams lost his husband in the bullriding ring two years ago and hasn't been able to move on. It's been so long since he was happy he's forgotten how to be. After making the long drive up to Vermont to visit friends, he finally decides that getting out of Texas might be the only way to leave the hard days of his past behind. Tate Dutton is a high school math teacher in Burlington, and a part time driver for a local brewery in the evenings. It takes more than his teacher's salary to keep his small dairy farm afloat, but he loves it so much, he doesn't mind the extra work. Shiloh has taken up residence in the back booth of a local bar where he'll nurse one whiskey all night long. Tate has seen the cowboy many times, as it's his favorite hangout too. The first time Tate stumbles into a conversation with Shiloh it doesn't go so well, but Tate doesn't seem to get the hint and before long Shiloh has no choice but to indulge the younger man. Is there any hope for these two? Time will tell whether the grumpy Shiloh or the sunny Tate proves to be more stubborn, or if friends will interfere and bring them together.
