The mocking, scourging, and crucifixion of Jesus offends both our intellect and sense of morality. Usually, when a government decides to execute a person, it does so dispassionately. The execution of Jesus, though, had all the hallmarks of a man being slaughtered for stealing someone's wife or killing their small children. It is possibly one of the most cared-for executions in history. There was such great revelry from the actors; people were delighted to see Jesus tortured and murdered. Though one later repented, even the crucified thieves somehow found the strength to mock Jesus with their final breaths. From a purely human perspective, the whole thing is an outrageous scene. But to look at it through merely human eyes is to make a mistake. Behind the spitting, the jeers, the beating, the yelling, the whipping, nailing, contempt, and fear was a demonic realm at feast.

For twenty years I lived the Christian life in my own strength and in ignorance of the Holy Spirit's work. I did not talk to Him, I did not acknowledge what He desired to do in my world or the lives of others, and I drug Him into my sin - grieving Him in the process.Coming out of the Pandemic in 2021, God started to call my wife and I into a form of Christianity resembling the book of Acts - filled with adventure and risk. It wouldn't take long walking with the Holy Spirit for me to see my first instantaneous miraculous healing - a man's broken arm coming back together.Since that day I've seen dozens of miracles. I've seen God burn terminal illnesses out, dissolve kidney stones, realign vertebrae, and drive demons out of people - instantly freeing them of spiritual sickness in the process. I've seen Him save marriages on the brink of collapse, stop a miscarriage, and open the womb of the infertile. Since that day I've had scales fall from my eyes, opening them to the horrors of the spiritual war raging around us. And I have learned the modern church is ill-prepared to deal with the American mission field.This book details a year of my life walking with the Holy Spirit and in miracles. I hope it inspires you to do the same.

Belief in God is printed on the hearts of children, but just like adults, they too have big questions about Him. "Where Does God Live?" attempts to explain one of God's chief attributes, His omnipresence, to a young audience - clearing up many misconceptions along the way. It is colorfully and imaginatively illustrated because beauty is just as important to a child's soul as reason. This is the first book in a series answering difficult questions kids have about God, written by James M. Thayer.
