"The process of lament is a spiritual bridge that allows each of us to encounter God in all of his fullness: holy, approachable, sentient, compassionate, and responsive to our suffering. In response to our cries for help God hears and provides a bi-level solution, one at the existential level, and one at the level of destiny."This book demonstrates that the laments of Abraham, Job, and Isaiah epitomize a faithful and spiritually healthy response to human suffering. Each lament represents the voice of an affected individual calling upon God to hear and act. Lamentation exemplifies the lamenter's faith that God will hear and respond with favorable action. One of the most significant functions of God's response to our lament is to demonstrate that he alone controls all of creation. And yet, God reveals himself to be even more than the living Sovereign God who controls the universe and all things within it. He is revealed as the sentient merciful God who seeks to establish and guide the lives of each one of us. For this reason, lament is fundamental to sustaining and deepening our relationship with God.

The Doomsday Clock is declaring a warning to this world. Whether or not people are listening is irrelevant; the clock is ticking. There is a spiritual doomsday clock ticking away as well. It is a countdown to spiritual catastrophe, as well as spiritual accountability. Mankind has plummeted into deep darkness in their morality, leaving a gaping hole between them and the Living God-that, my friend, spells catastrophe. Then, on the other hand, the clock is ticking to a judgment that every man, every woman, the rich and the poor alike, will have to attend. That spells accountability. In 3 Minutes to Midnight, Pastor Chuck Salvo endeavors to rebuild the walls of biblical truth by destroying the antibiblical world views of our day.A spiritual catastrophe is upon us, and the doctrines of devils have permeated our culture. While the clock continues to tick, you and I can be prepared by holding true to biblical doctrine and not be swayed by the breath of a wicked system. The doctrines of devils have filled the atmosphere, and many fall to their wicked deceptions. But those who are submitted to God's spirit will recognize those doctrines as being nothing but bad breath.
I spent a total of thirty-plus years living in Alaska, everywhere from Barrow, which is way up at the very top of the state, right on the Arctic ocean where the polar bears live, to Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska. I moved there with my family back in 1974 during the days when the Trans Alaska Pipeline was being built. I was ten years old. My dad was a truck driver and hauled cargo between Prudhoe Bay and Valdez. My mother took a lease on a little restaurant called the Milepost Cafe in our little town of Copper Center, right on the Copper river, which was a major stopping point back then for truckers doing the runs from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez.This is my story.
James Shipley came of age in the once segregated, rural community of Tipton, Missouri. When just a young man working for a local mechanic, a chance meeting at his local post office in the early 1940s inspired his enlistment in the 301st Fighter Squadron of the 332nd Fighter Group-an all-black organization that would go on to earn the famed moniker of both "Redtails" and "Tuskegee Airmen" during the Second World War. As a mechanic with the 332nd, this book highlights Shipley's time in training in the United States, follows him through his service at airfields in Italy and his return home after the end of the war. Previous works on the Tuskegee Airmen have often focused on the experience of the pilots and officers who served in the 332nd, but rarely provides insight into the integral contributions of the enlisted mechanics suchas Shipley. Together as One shares of the story of Shipley and the unspoken heroes, recording their dedication to the aviation success of the Tuskegee Airmen even when they had to live and work within a military framework that once denied them some of the very freedoms for which they fought.
