Right at the time you and your spouse said, "I do" the process of oneness began. You and your mate are always in a state of becoming one. Dr. Smith has noticed four factors that can hinder the process of oneness. The first is the lack of communication i.e., you just do not speak the same language. Secondly is lack of social, intellectual, recreational, and sexual intimacy. Then there is the issue of finances, not necessarily the lack thereof but a disagreement as to how to utilize finances. Lastly is misunderstanding or misinterpreting your partner's words and actions. This book will help couples navigate the waters of Becoming One.

This is how a young girl from a small town survived and fought to make a better life for her children and future generations. "I was scared and I knew that I couldn't talk about such things, so I denied it until she believed me. I remember she came into my room smelling of alcohol, and asked me.

A Most Unusual Relationship traces the lives of two men from totally different backgrounds who were able to set aside their differences to serve effectively as chaplains in the US Army Reserves. That professional relationship turned into a serious friendship that lasted for nearly forty years. Alan Sherman, a Reform Rabbi with a strong "liberal" political viewpoint, received his commission in the Army after graduating Rabbinical School. Herb Sennett, born and raised in a strong Evangelical Protestant household with strong Republican political views received his commission after graduating The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He had previously served as an infantry officer who resigned his commission upon completion of his six-year obligation under the draft.With that background, these two men met in 1985 when they both met as part of the same Army Reserve unity in West Palm Beach, Florida. Although both were a bit hesitant, they resolved to work together for the sake of the troops. When they received orders to active duty for Desert Shield/Storm in September 1990, they found themselves a room mates at Ft. Stewart, Georgia. During those first several months on active duty, Alan and Herb found that they both had a great deal in common besides their religious faith. The friendship began to blossom and was almost fully developed by May 1991 when they were both released from active duty.Their friendship continued to grow after they returned to West Palm Beach. What they went through together during that brief period sparked a friendship that has continued to not grow but to blossom. Decisions they made separately often pushed them together in an even deeper friendship on many levels. Their story is truly a must read about what can happen when people set aside their differences to serve a greater good for society.

Human beings are made differently than all other creatures on Earth. Just like our bodies, our souls also have essential needs that include clean air, pure water, healthy food, and adequate shelter. Unfortunately, there are too many people in the world who are suffocating, dehydrating, starving, and suffering exposure in their spirits. The good news is that God wants us to live in a place where anxiety, fears, struggles, and regrets are eliminated. All we have to do is believe.In an inspirational presentation divided into four sections, Pastor Mark Stermer leads Christians on a survivalist journey to embrace an abundant existence and ultimately experience life in a new way. Through his encouragement and insight, believers will learn how to breathe clean and pure spiritual air, hydrate the spirit through biblical meditation, ingest the Holy Word every day as nourishment for the spirit, and seek shelter in the local church."Essentials is a powerful tool to show us how to tap into the resources of the Holy Spirit to live abundantly!"-Dino Rizzo, Executive Director, Association of Related Churches"I highly recommend this book to all leaders wanting to live the life Christ intended."-Lee Domingue, author of Stay in Your Lane and Pearls of the King; founder of Kingdom Builders U.S., and CEO of GrowLeader

We live at a time in history where information is literally at our fingertips and social media gives us instant access to anyone and anything. How do we sort out the facts? How can we recognize truth and respond appropriately to those around us? "Sagacity" is a quirky little old-fashioned word that is packed with meaning. It's like a giant gumball that seems to get bigger the longer you chew on it.In this book, the author breaks down the word into five definitions:¿ Quickness of Perception¿ Soundness in Judgement¿ Foresight into a Situation¿ Operating in Astuteness and Sharpness¿ Having Insight, Wisdom, Profoundness, Thoughtfulness, and DiscernmentAlong with each definition, Stanley gives practical insight and strategies to become sagacious. Each chapter ends by highlighting two historical figures-one from the Bible and one from another point in history-who embody each particular aspect of sagacity. The reader will be encouraged and inspired by sagacious individuals such as the prophet Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Corrie ten Boom and Sacagawea.Growing sagacity is vital to unscrambling the vast array of messages and sound bites we are bombarded with each day. The reader will gain insight and be challenged to cultivate a sagacious life that treats others with grace and glorifies God.

When I was in High School in the early 1960s, I was taught there was nothing more that needed to happen before the rapture of the saints and that the tribulation could come at any time. If that was the case, what was God waiting for? So my wife and I have read many books on end time events since we were married. But they all seemed to repeat what I learned in high school. So there is a great thing God does. He equips the called. That is what he did with me. God is the true author of this book. When I didn't know a word or have any idea how to proceed, I prayed and God allowed the words to flow and gave me understanding. That is how this book came to be.About ten years ago, I started serious research on the subject. I found the answers were not as I was taught during my high school years. The more I studied, the more truth I found. I decided to put what I learned into a book to teach others the real truth about the tribulation and what will happen in the Last Days. They say what you don't know can't hurt you. I found out that's a lie. There are things you need to know before the tribulation starts.This book is about the Tribulation, culminating in the Battle of Armageddon, and the 1000 reign of Christ on Earth, occurring in the near future.
