Old Testament, God's created earth and a family and Adam as the Patriarch and Eve the Matriarch over all families but they soon committed the first sin and their children and descendants followed them in sin and got lost in acts of murder, rape, theft, adultery, idol worshipping as well, except Holy Seth. Seth's descendant is where Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Christ descended. Although Noah highly favored grape wine, God favored him more because he was an obedient and God-fearing man, so after God cleansed earth with a deadly flood Noah and his sons Ham, Japheth, and Shem were spared to start a new generation. Because of his faith level and love for God, Abraham proved to be God's best friend and was chosen as the Father of Faith, Father of the Hebrews, Father of Isaac and Grandfather of Israel, and the Grandfather of the Nation of the Israelites who became enslaved in Egypt and trapped into idol worshipping for over 400+ years, until Moses was sent by God to free them. Once free, they resumed to idol worshipping and eventually forfeited all their covenants and blessings over to the gentiles related to sinning and idol worshipping? God will really bless only those who recognize, honor, pray to him, and obey his laws and the commandments! After the death of Abraham, God never found another Holy friend like him, so he created one, in the name of Father God, we are blessed with brethren Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit known as the Trinity. Jesus Christ is the New Testament who was created to save all sinners and lead the lost back into the Kingdom of God, and instead of a deadly flood, we can be cleansed in a water baptism and with the blood of Jesus Christ.

The question of Oneness, the unification of the Christian Faith was the subject of my first book published in 2015. The present treatise dealing with the Unification of the Independent Orthodox Churches in the USA, proposes an alternative way to the OCL's (Orthodox Christian Laity) proposal of "Orthodox Renewal" to accomplice unity.Be one does not mean: A monolithic administration of all followers, "misallodoxia", discrimination, and any deviation from the Holy Tradition. Be one means: First of all Unification with Christ, Closeness among the Orthodox Churches, Maintaining the common true faith, Respect the rights of all, and keeping the union with Christ. (I am the vine, you are the branches, if you abide in Me you bear much fruit John 15:5-8).All Christians must remember that one day they will meet Christ and they will be judged. We are all accountable.A true leader does not seek primacy, does not divide, does not promote his beliefs. A true leader respects the "Freedom of Voulisis" of each and every man. A true leader looks at the past, assesses the present, corrects as needed, and moves to the future always trusting Jesus. The desire for unity is a prerequisite that could result in the unity.

This knowledge changes your perspective on life and helps you start living life with confidence and assurance.

If someone were to call you a sheep, you might take offense to it. However, in the eyes of God, being His sheep is meant in a loving way as one cared for by the Good Shepherd, Jesus. Author Debbie Cole learned of this truth during a period of struggle in her life.While practicing sheep herding with her dogs, Debbie began to notice how sheep interacted with her. Through this experience, Debbie believes God was showing her the need for her to follow Jesus as a sheep that He cares for. Her new book, I AM A SHEEP?!?!, expounds on Debbie's journey of faith in learning who she is as a child of God, a sheep of the Good Shepherd, Jesus. She combines the truths she learned with the experiences herding sheep and witnessing how sheep respond to someone they trust, like a shepherd. Despite the valley she was in, Debbie made time for daily Bible reading and study.The twenty-third psalm from King David is what stood out to her as one capturing the essence of a believer trusting the Good Shepherd, as He leads us next to still waters and green pastures. Readers will enjoy learning the distinct characteristics and qualities that sheep have, shown through the author's time with her flock, as well as how parallels can be drawn between a sheep and shepherd and our relationship with God and Jesus. There are also questions at each chapter's end to inspire thought on the topics shared. Sheep may be seen by some as unwilling to follow their shepherd, but I AM A SHEEP?!?! proves sheep following after Jesus are following the one that loves and cares for them the most. Debbie Cole draws from her experience as a shepherd, sheep owner, dog handler, and devoted Christian to shed light on how our relationship with Jesus parallels His love for the sheep of this world. She has valuable experience in tending sheep and competing in sheep dog trials and thus possesses deep insight into their nature and tendencies. She is a skilled sign language interpreter and has presented many classes and lectures on this relationship to both Deaf and Hearing audiences. For many years she has spread the love she received from Christ with her husband, two daughters, ten grandchildren, and all who know her.

Cindy Hyles Schaap was a sought after speaker and counselor, as well as a pastor's wife of a megachurch. All that came crashing down when her husband was arrested and sent to prison. Cindy became unwillingly and unwittingly involved in public scandal.In My Journey to Grace: What I Learned About Jesus in the Dark, the author shares her moving and intimate account of a life turned upside-down by tragedy.This book helps to answer many questions that arise when someone is faced with public or private shame.How do you go about forgiving yourself, or the other people involved?How do you begin to rebuild?How does one find strength to face the world again?Fortunately, there is hope in the transformative power of God.The book you're holding is a "behind the scenes tour." It's not a tell-all written to set the record straight or to justify decisions made. Rather it's a private glimpse of how Jesus walks people through the darkness. It's a unique view of His mercies in the face of our failures. It's a reminder that when one walks through the valley of the shadow, God is with us and He won't let us go.

Mankind was in trouble and needed to be saved. God had a plan to save mankind and that was through his Son. Before man can be saved God had to prove to man, that he was in trouble and needed to be saved. Hence God gave man the laws through Moses, what the laws did was to reveal sin so God can be proven right that man needed saving and man on the other hand could not make any excuse for their sins. To save man from hell, the debt that was owed to God had to be paid and paid in full. Man had to die. So, how can God save man and kill him at the same time? Jesus the Son of God became our substitute, the plan God had was to use His Son as the scape goat where Jesus would take all of our sins upon Himself go to the cross and die on our behalf. Through baptism we join Christ in His death and through His resurrection we achieve new life. What that does is set us free from the law and placed us under grace.So, in the end we are saved by grace. Rohan Brooks is a former lecturer of Sociology and a former Sunday school teacher.

"I wrote this book because I saw how isolated we all were from each other; social media is great but a personal touch is missing. I wanted to provide a forum for moms, single parents, and people who want to get together to address societal problems, so we can see the goodness of God in the land of the living." Born and raised in Southern California, she has worked hard to complete her B.S. and a Masters in Health Care Administration (MHA). Growing up as an abused child, she carried these emotional, psychological, and physical injuries into adulthood. It was God who got her through her childhood, and the rough patches of her life, and today some of these prayers are in the book. She attributes her ability to move on, regardless of these trials. The Holy Spirit has been guiding her and leading her in uncertain times, much like the present. There are many scriptures in the book that transformed her and kept her going. She wrote this book because she loves God so much and felt compelled to get people together all over the nation and start prayer chains, to heal our country.

With all the worldwide news on this pandemic and its effect of killing thousands of people which started in late 2019. The response by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, with the pandemic raging in China, Korea, Japan, and Iran, and several other countries, had six to eight weeks at least to get prepared with a U.S. testing regime to confront the coronavirus. The message was very clear by President Donald Trump "No, No, it's not a problem, don't worry about it." On January 22, 2020, speaking to CNBC in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump dismissed the virus, "We have it totally under control, it is one person coming from China, and I have it under control. It's going to be just fine." That set the United States back. As an American with a loving wife and family, I say with a heavy heart how sorry I feel for those who have suffered deaths or have been through the long task of surviving the COVID-19 virus. There is no words or long speech that can be given to those who have felt this pain. My heart every day feels hurt when I see the suffering of patients in hospitals, those on ventilators with the hope of survival. To all the parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many more friends who have lost their loved ones to this virus, there is no replacement for a lost loved one. I only wish there was a way to compensate for everyone's suffering. Love and Kindness-Gerald L. Hutson

A mother's heart-wrenching story of her 18- year-old son's struggle between life and death following his electrocution on a power pole during a random outing. This is an intimate look into those first few agonizing days, and the months of bitter uncertainty that followed, not knowing if her son would live or die, after suffering third and fourth degree burns on more than 70% of his body. The skilled physicians at the Maricopa County Burn Unit in Phoenix, Arizona all said he should have died. Statistics were against his struggle for life. Yet, this story captured in a mother's journal yields proof that God answers prayer, and that God is what He says He is: The great Physician, the Healer, the Miracle worker.

In the spring of 2010, I received a personal visitation from Jesus in vision of the night. I share in content of book, I was too "busy" during the day, like Martha, instead of like Mary, her sister, who sat at the feet of Jesus attentively listening to His instruction (Luke 10:38-39). From one exposition to another, I extrapolate upon revelation from God, if the stars in the heavens boldly shine, according to preordained God given purpose, separating light from darkness on earth, how much more the body of Christ (Gen 1:16-17; Ps 19:1-4)?Accordingly, excerpts from book: "His Words resoundingly echoed until the dawning of the day. The sleepy, slumbering eyes within the winding corridors of my heart were spiritually awakened through the sustaining bloodline of the eternal spoken Word of Jesus Christ and His call to: "PROTECT THE CHILDREN."' The dichotomous contrast, "protect the children" as opposed to, "protect my children, weighed heavily upon my heart. The Lord revealed "whosoever" in Christ Jesus are "the children" to protect (John 3:16). Both Jews and Gentiles were called, before the foundation of the world (Gal 3:26-29; Eph 1:4).Consequently, the stars inaudible message to me and body of Christ: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you" (Eph 5:14). The body of Christ are children of light, called to continue Jesus' work and passion, which is seeking to save the lost (Luke 9:10). God is longsuffering, waiting for unbelieving Jews and Gentiles to recognize Jesus Christ as the True Light (Eph 1:18). Christians are ambassadors of Christ (2 Cor 5:20), Jesus' body on the earth; His servants/ordained ministers with preordained call to fulfill His Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20).

Ever since Darwin, the theory of evolution has increasingly prevailed in scholastic circles. Indeed, this prevalence has reached into many Christian scientific circles. The assumption is that evolution is science, and therefore the Bible has to be interpreted consistently with evolution if the Christian faith is to maintain credibility.But is evolution true science? Do Christians have to accede to its claims if they wish to be intellectually honest? Through a powerful book of both scientific and spiritual teaching, the author, Thomas F. Harkins, Jr., explores the theory of evolution through the works of Charles Darwin, Francis Collins, and John Sailhamer, while countering the arguments of these experts with biblical fact and truth. Through Christ-centered teaching, insightful knowledge, and an intellectual approach to the creation story, Evolution Claptrap - Ancient & Modern shares the reality of God's hand in creation while debunking the theory of evolution. Mr. Harkins is a Christian litigation and appellate lawyer in Fort Worth, Texas.

"Chosen and beloved", is the answer to the unasked essential question of functionality and identity, that first ladies, women in ministry, and in the market place have grappled with over the years. This book gives a scriptural and contextual response to those questions integrated into daily ministry and life praxis.

You have been chosen and beloved, to participate in this time in history. Selected to be a part of what God is doing in this season. Of all the available choices, you are the one who is here, not by accident but by the divine purpose of God. The question comes to mind, why me? The response, "John 15:16 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last-and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you." Chosen to be fruitful, you are to be productive and cause growth and multiplication to take place. You are to be a good steward of everything entrusted to you, to increase and be bountiful in your harvest. Whatever it is that God has placed in your hand, do it with a passion, do it in a way that honors God and watch God bless and increase it.Leading Lady LaVerne H.

Authentic Faith examines some of the faith practices of the first century believers. The aim is to challenge the twenty-first century believers to become more like the authentic believers. We are living in a post-Christian world. The faith of many has been weakened. It has become more difficult to differentiate between believer and unbeliever. It is as if the waters have been muddied. People have been conditioned to accept anything and anyone that has the "Christian" label. Scripture tells us that in the end times many will leave the faith. Many are disillusioned with the muddied practices of the faith. Authentic Faith aims to place the focus back on the faith practices that separated authentic believers from the unbelievers. This book will challenge your faith. It calls Christians to a higher standard of living. Dr. Jose G. Rodriguez is a pastor, coach, Navy veteran, and host of The Attitude Zone Podcast.

As we live out our daily lives, none can deny that it is difficult to maintain a positive outlook at all times. We each approach this challenge differently, attempting in our own ways to make the best of a given situation, provide ourselves and others with encouragement, take care of ourselves, and so on. What many fail to consider, and what believers may sometimes need to be reminded of, is that the only way to give ourselves the best shot at a positive lifestyle is by doing it God's way. The Bible tells us very clearly what the key components to such a lifestyle are, and how to embody them-but do we spend enough time meditating on God's Word to recognize them? Do we have the help we need to point us in the right direction, or examples to follow in our own circles? In Meditation and My Thoughts on Life, the author presents her personal views on the values of giving deep, concentrated time to God and one's own spiritual state. The book leads readers through key insights on the different qualities that effective Christians must possess, and demonstrates these attributes for the reader in the form of acrostic poems based upon people the author knows personally, who embody the characteristics mentioned in the book. If you're looking for direction into a positive lifestyle, in the form of one woman's love letter to the people who helped her find hers, this book is for you.

Tackling the Task of a Lifetime Marriage is a lifelong task. The hardest job we will ever undertake. It can be one of the most rewarding efforts we will ever make. Most of us don't know how to love our spouse "until death us do part." We need the correct tools. What's in this tool bag? Forgiveness. Caring for my spouse's heart. Giving grace, allowing my spouse to be themself. Keeping a clear account. What can using these tools do? Make our marriages wonderful. For the rest of our lives.

The journey of life can be difficult, sometimes even tumultuous, yet God has a way of transforming any story into one of redemption and grace. In Prophetically Sealed: For His Redemptive Plan, author Karon McClure shares her powerful testimony of God's faithfulness to bring His redeeming mercy into the life of an ordinary woman. With a past of mistakes, mishaps, and misadventures, McClure never expected that a change in her destiny was possible...until God revealed His plan and purpose for her.After abuse, heartache, and everyday challenges, McClure had spiraled out of control, searching for love in all the wrong places. But she would soon learn that no matter how far gone she seemed, Jesus Christ was ever gracious, patiently proving His love and favor through the miracles she would witness.As you discover the prophetic nature of the events in McClure's story, you'll experience a world of grace and mercy that is far superior to the world currently before your eyes. Just like He did for McClure, God has ordained a path for your life that will take you to greater heights than you could ever imagine, and He is right by your side, especially when it feels like you are on your own.Through the inspiration within McClure's words, you will begin to see God's handiwork in every season of your journey, finding purpose in the pain. May you embrace the comfort in McClure's personal accounts of her relationship with her Heavenly Father, as He takes you from a pit of fear into a promised land of faith.

The Book is a product of years of field service in the USA and overseas, an expose on classic trades skills which can be taught. In fact, the theme in general is to pass on what we have learned into the hands and hearts of the next generation. The reader can benefit from savvy advice from an old carpenter and even tackle a few projects that before might have seemed impossible. Barry writes about the reason for bivocational ministry as it strives to glorify God and make disciples by entering the market place environment.The book demonstrates how diverse and unique every unreached (for Christ) area can be. It is a motivation for discovery of empirical evidence, and then form a holistic effort to use available resources to shape lives. How do we nurture the concept of being "Salt & Light" to the world around us?Clear, common sense application of biblical principles opens the readers mind to a hermeneutic approach not learned in a classroom. Story after story will reveal insight into the mind of our savior Jesus Christ and his disciples. It is my hope that this writing effort from a novice will bear witness to wisdom from God in fresh new ways. It is my hope to grab the narrative on bivocational pastoral ministers and bring this model to a higher level of importance in the area of theologically sound & holistic outreach to the marginalized. In short, it is both a writing about an externship between a master & a novice, and a road map for Kingdom Community Development. Barry was raised in the Blacks Hills of South Dakota, where his heritage still bears evidence in gravestones and monuments such as Rushmore. He learned to hunt and fish, and perfect his artistic ability. He trained under many master carpenters & tradesmen, building homes, and various commercial projects.

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38)Many of us believe that we have already entered the great harvest at the end of the age. Yeshua said, “Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” (John 4:35) I believe the Lord is calling for all those who are willing to work in this great harvest to develop a much deeper understanding of the process of restoration so they will be more effective in reaping souls for the Lord. It is the purpose of this book to release this teaching to harvesters.

Poetry is a medium that allows us to express ourselves in a unique way, providing a place where creativity can flourish and we can look at familiar stories in a new light. Remarkable Things: Poems of Revelation and Comfort by Steve Bell is a collection of poems that reveals how the men, women, and children of the Bible are not all that different from people today and how situations they experienced can be related to some of the challenges of today. Including poems inspired by scriptural truths and current events, as well as fictional characters, Steve retells stories from the Old and New Testaments, focusing on the emotions the characters felt as they interacted with God and other people. Throughout the book, Steve also shares poems birthed out of his own experiences, such as his battle with bipolar disorder and journey to recovery. He writes with vivid imagery and raw emotion, showcasing the universality of certain experiences and that the stories of characters in the Bible are our stories and that our anxieties, regrets, pain, joys, hopes, and expectations have been around since the days of the first couple in the garden of Eden. These poems entice the reader to dig deep into the Bible to see ourselves and our very broken and angry world through God’s eyes. Most of all, however, they remind us that through it all, no matter how dark the situation may look, we can always count on our Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace to redeem every situation and use it for His glory.  Steve Bell is a native of Southern California and is a retired insurance agent. He has been involved in community service most of his life in many different capacities; lay youth pastor, church elder, provider of services of adults and children with disabilities, mental health educator, psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner, YMCA childcare program site director.
