Our story is about a six-year-old boy Joey, who, like all children, fears what they don't understand. Joey is a happy, healthy little boy who loves to play outside. However, discovering a very large spider in his playing area creates a healthy concern for Joey. He deeply questions in his heart, Why do we have spiders in the world? Why would God make such scary things that have no purpose? Joey feels this spider is a menace, and it needs to be eliminated from threatening himself and others in the world.Joey's quest for answers is an important one for every boy and girl to realize that each creature God has made is created for a purpose and has unusual talents and abilities that we don't really appreciate. This book entertains yet invites children to look at the wonders of God's creation in a different way. "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).

Birds in my Closet was inspired by an experience that the author's husband had with their adopted son of Black Vietnamese heritage. Hoang, age five, has squirreled himself away in his closet, feeling less vulnerable having slept on a mat in Vietnam. His mom and dad supply him with a sleeping bag in hopes that he will have fewer nightmares. He talks to his dad and expresses his struggle with being different from the other kids at school, where he is called Blackie and Cotton Picker. He has taped pictures of birds all over his walls from his Ranger Rick magazines. His dad crawls in beside him and asks, "What if all these birds looked alike?" Hoang recognizes that it would be a pretty dull world. The boy falls asleep and dreams that he wakes up in a nest as a "blooming full-feathered bird." He soon discovers that every bird in Birdship County looks just like him! And so the adventure of finally discovering the value of his uniqueness begins.

Caleb's heart continues to burn with God's promise to give him a mountain home in the land of Canaan. He works the family farm in his small village while dreaming of one day going to war and claiming the land awaiting him. His wife and her family do all they can to dissuade him from leaving the village and reentering the war, risking his life and those around him. There are many in his village telling him he is a foolish old man pursuing what they believe is a suicide mission sure to destroy himself and those who join with him. Caleb forms a small group and travels to the mountain to spy out the land and prepare for war. A traitor from one of the cities on the mountain learns of Caleb's plans and sets out to inform the murderous leader in Debir of his activities. Joshua joins in with Caleb, and the two of them wage one last war, driving out the wickedness that destroyed the lives of many living in Hebron and Debir.The reader is carried along through the intense battles on the mountain, costing many their lives, and is blessed in the end, realizing God's promises to His children never fail. He goes before them in war, leading them to victory as they face insurmountable odds, trusting in the power of God to protect and see them through.Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Hearing your pastor preach and teach freedom every Sunday and Wednesday, watching and listening to a well-known televangelist speak about a life of victory sounds so amazing. But when you leave the temple or turn off your television, you're left with the reality you live in. You go to church, but you are not free. Knowing that you need to tell someone what is happening to you and what you're going through, but you are wrestling with the fear of the condemnation and shame that your own brothers and sisters in the church will unleash on you.Sounds familiar? This is the reality of so many within the body of Christ. For so long, many people, even ministers, lived in the dark while preaching the light of God. Large crowds, honorarium checks, flights to many places around the world, and even fame often accompanies those who preach the Word of God. Being a pastor does not exclude you from hiding. So many are hiding and using the pulpit as a cover to escape the shame that accompanies a sinful lifestyle.In Preacher in the Dark, Michael Quinones lets you in on his life's journey and struggle to be free of the darkness he lived for most of his ministerial career. Michael details the strategy of the enemy on how he keeps people in darkness. He explains familiar spirits and generational curses. He teaches how the enemy even uses food to enslave believers.In this book, you will travel through Michael's breakthrough and see how God set him free from the lustful, adulterous lifestyle Satan prepared for him as many other men and women experience this same situation. Rather than hiding, you will discover the power of confession and the freedom it brings because God has called us to live a life in his glorious light. Today is the day that you say, "Enough!" Enough with living in the shadows. You will step out of darkness and into the light of God!

I hide not in fear of the unknown,But to let my words truly be shown.For it's not about me, but about you,And the wisdom that you pursue. Each line is yours to interpret and heed,To shape the path that you will lead.For you hold the power to shine so bright,To become the beacon of your own light. So take these words and make them your own,And let your inner wisdom be known.For in this life, you have the key,To unlock the door to your destiny.

This book is about you, and this book is about God. He has been trying to get your attention for a while. I feel like a mystery date host. This time, however, I know the mystery person. I know Him so well. He isn't a mystery anymore. You, however, are not known to me.You will notice things changing slowly at first. I prayed for months for a change to my physical structure. I knew God could do it, and I was a willing participant. After months of prayer, I could see He was not granting my desire even though it was a desire of my heart. To say I was frustrated was an understatement. As I sat on my bed and threw my hands into the air and asked, "What?" There was a voice, and it said softly, "You're nonthreatening."That day unbeknownst to me was my first day assigned to the hot side of the psych unit. As I walked into the room, I saw the sizeable man's frame whose feet hung several feet off the end of the bed. This man was enormous. His muscles were huge. His eyes were so swollen I wanted to get him ice packs. He was heavily drugged.I told him my name and that I was his nurse today. Today was the day I would help him. He pried one eye open, a red eyeball. I realized the absurdity of my offer as he could crush me like an ant.He opened his mouth with lips stuck like wallpaper to a wall with mostly dry wallpaper adhesive.He chuckled like a horse, and if horses could talk, this man said to me, "Well, you're sure nonthreatening.""You've got that right," I said. "I'll bring in breakfast to you first today," I promised.

Northwestern Mexico is comprised of the Baja California Peninsula, the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), and the states of Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and Nayarit. The Sierra Madre Occidental, a major mountain range system of the North American Cordillera, runs northwest-southeast through northwestern and western Mexico, and along the Gulf of California. Summits mostly exceed elevations of six thousand feet (1,048 meters), and some peaks rise above ten thousand feet (three thousand meters). Our story takes place at the five-thousand-foot level (1,524 meters), nestled among the vast pine and oak forest, crisscrossed as it is by creeks, brooks, streams, and ponds, with natural springs coming out of the ground everywhere not to speak of the waterfalls.With water everywhere, it was not uneasy to take a sip of the cold, pure liquid whenever one wanted. The only places where water was not present were on the ridges, except after a major storm, where the excess water would run for a few days. These ridges were characterized by clumps of boulders and many rocks of all sizes. Seasonally, the Tarahumara Indians keep their goats there. They build temporary corrals and palm roofs (small palm trees are found on the lower levels, specifically at the foot of the mountains) for the goats and take them out every day to graze. The author does not know the rhyme or reason as to why they are seasonally kept there, but it has to be for a good reason.The Tarahumaras are the most honest, hardworking inhabitants of the mountains. They are always busy either with their crops, chickens, turkeys, goats, horses, mules, donkeys--you name it. They still use the bow and arrow but also have firearms. Mexicans are everywhere and greatly outnumber the Tarahumaras (the original people of those mountains). The Mexicans possess a diametrically opposed mindset and consider the Tarahumaras to be uncivilized. Their perspective on reality is subjective, to say the least.Most Tarahumaras don't attend school either because the government elementary schools are too far away or because they are needed at home to help out with the many daily tasks. The Tarahumaras eat and dress quite well (their clothes are suited for rural use). The only criticism that could be leveled at them would be that during their free time, they are making moonshine or drinking it.They also make corn beer. The Mexicans also moonshine and make corn beer (they were taught by the Tarahumaras). Unlike the Tarahumaras though, the Mexicans get into scraps with each other when they are intoxicated and even gunfights.Mexican cattle (both dairy cows as well as steers) are quite abundant and are all branded. The steers wander around where they like and are generally quite bigger than the dairy cows. The dairy cows are kept in corrals and grass, and hay is taken to them. They are always eating/chewing the cud.Cattle rustling among the Mexicans is not uncommon. They are rustled to be eaten, and it is as simple as that. Jaguars and pumas are quite common but tend to stay away from people. They occasionally will bring down a steer then are usually hunted down. It is always older cats who can't reach deer or wild boar any longer so they opt for comparatively slow-moving bovines. Notwithstanding, all two-legged creatures are much more dangerous than any four-legged creature. This story takes place within the environment just described.

My grandparents had come to America from hard times of starvation and despair. Because of widespread poverty, thousands of Italians and Sicilians were emigrating from their homeland in the early 1900s. Certainly, things must have been dark in Sicily in 1910 when my grandfather was only seventeen. How did he determine at such a young age that he had to make it to America "on the boat" and alone? That is just one of the questions I wanted answered. Even with a sense of regret that there would be no answers to find, I viewed the opportunity to go to Italy and walk on Italian soil with Dad a closure, of sorts, to the mystery of my heritage that I was sure I would never solve.With these thoughts, Judy Giudice Tull begins an adventure into her past. Like many modern-day genealogy seekers, she is willing to investigate any resource she can uncover. She is a never-say-die, sensitive person whose love for family is a constant driving force.

You will participate firsthand in suspense of her characters' hopes, surprises, disappointments, and rewards as she takes you on an unexpected journey of love--an adventure story that happens only in the movies!--Father Ilario Dichiera, Catholic priest*****Closing the Circle: a Journey of Love is an over-the-top, happy story shouting to be heard. It is the response to numerous folks from many walks of life who heard of the happenings and implored the author, "You have to write a book!" A truly beautiful story.--Dewey Johnson, author of The Lord's Prayer: Hope for the Neighborhood.

This book is the result of two friends sharing with each other the sayings our mothers and mother figures had used to encourage, discourage, comfort, and guide us. Although we were reared in two different states, Florida and Michigan, we found that the sayings were the same or similar.We discovered we could search the scriptures and find a biblical meaning for the advice that Momma gave. Although our moms might not have been aware of it, they were instilling biblical principles in us by using these sayings.After many shared sayings and much laughter, the Lord blessed Carolyn with an idea, and she graciously shared it with Sharon. We pray that each reader has had someone in their life who has shared one of these sayings with them, and if not, we hope you can enjoy them as you read them for the first time. We hope you enjoy them and reflect on them and that they leave an imprint on your heart.It is our hope you will start a dialogue with your family. Ultimately it is our desire that this book will cause you to search the scriptures for yourself. And if nothing else, now you have a better understanding of what "Momma Said."Enjoy!

Praise God I was born and raised in a place and time which my extended family had little. There was never enough food, and clothing was sparse. I grew up without a father, though notwithstanding, having many females in the family, there were always men around. In this continual scenario, I was able to see what sin really is and how it takes advantage of the deceived, eventually taking their lives.I completed an online seminary course and improved my knowledge of God's Word. I held church services in my home weekly, for over ten years. I have led many people to Christ and counseled them concerning how the deceiver was trying to rob them. I pray that God remembers that I shared the love he shares with me.
