Alice Mertie Underhill writes a story of adventure, magic, love and ultimately redemption set in the lonely jungles of India. Big Mo is well-known in his tribe as a great fighter and an alcoholic. A rich, four-cow man, he doesn't feel the need of anything. That is, until the day he attends a burning of a dead mother and her still living child. Feeling pangs of injustice, Big Mo tries to save the infant, but is too late. The witch doctor condemns his actions, and Big Mo begins a journey to find meaning in his life and answers to his questions. During this time he finds Dookie, an abandoned infant about to be devoured by wild dogs. After saving the child, Big Mo attempts to raise the child on his own. As the child grows, she makes friends with another girl who is her own age and who is a Christian. This sparks a feud between himself and the tribal witch doctor who curses Big Mo and Dookie with the "curse of the snake." Ironically, the young child is bitten by a poisonous snake a few months later and becomes deathly ill to the point that a cure seems hopeless. Is the power of the evil spirits stronger than the Christian magic that Big Mo is learning about? Follow the tales of Big Mo and his adoptive daughter, Dookie, in their Indian village as they learn about the Great Spirit from the Christians. A must-read for all ages, Dookie, Sookie, and Big Mo will make you laugh and cry, and bring you closer to the Christian God they are learning to love, Jesus Christ.
Few people escape dark days or mind-boggling distress. Fewer yet are prepared when crushing blows leave them staggering with grief and pain. Knowing God's tried and proven mind-science principles will mean the difference between developing a growing positive experience rather than a trip into debilitating depression. Some might classify When You Walk a Dark Valley as a "self-help" book. It is more than that; it is how to turn disaster, overwhelming grief and paint into "wells of water" springing up like artesian springs for exuberant, thriving in Christ. It is turning bitter experiences produced even by supposed dear friends and loved ones, into victorious Christian living beyond your wildest expectations. It is taking every negative of life and finding incredible joy in Jesus and growth in His grace to become what He intended you to be. It is realizing that the way God has led was right for you and was really from His hand. Beyond all this, it will make the reader an instrument in God's hands to win the very souls who sought to wound him, making him the carrier and administrator of God's ultimate agape love. Realizing more of His selfless love, you will know more of His grace to not merely survive unbearable pain, but then to thrive in His more abundant life. You will find His peace in trusting Him with every inch of your innermost soul. If you personally take these few brief lessons to heart, you will never be the same again. This will be your reward for reading, When You Walk a Dark Valley!
In the Hebrew of the Old Testament the word tamid is used as an adverb, which modifies a verbal motion, to point out that the action goes on regularly, consistently or continually-"daily" at regular, repeated intervals. It is never used of an object or action in the most holy place, where the priest ministered only once a year. Nor is it ever used of pagan worship or the use of idols. It is used almost thirty times in connection with the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple of Jerusalem-always referring to some action the priest carried out in its courtyard or in the holy place. The question, then, is what single word or phrase can encompass all of these regular priestly activities in both areas? The "daily," which was followed once a year by the "yearly" or "annual" ministration in the Most Holy Place. Since these earthly functions were a typological model of what takes place in the heavenly sanctuary, its connection there shows that it belongs to the heavenly mediation and intercession of Christ on behalf of his earthly children. -William H.

Our time is short on this Earth. Jesus will soon be returning to take home His children...but are we ready? The book you are holding is a story about fighting the good fight of faith and conquering it with Christ's help. God's Word says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). The Bible also says, "The truth shall make you free ... ye shall be free indeed" (John 8:32, 36). The author speaks heart to heart with the reader about the realities of the Christian journey and the reward that is waiting for us. He also speaks about the dangers that surround us, the temptations we often struggle with, and how to overcome sin through Christ. A major question is asked: "Why hasn't Jesus come yet?" This book answers that question. Are you spiritually homesick? God has made a plan to hasten Jesus' Second Coming, but we must do our part in making that a reality. Using the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy, this book provides answers as to why Jesus hasn't come yet and how we can vindicate God and hasten His return. May we all prepare ourselves for the day of the Lord through in-depth study of His Word and books such as Trusting and Believing God.
