Salt and Light: America's Greatest Need is written to share with God's children the urgency of being all that He needs us to be in the day in which we live. Our nation is divided and awash in sin and immorality. It would be easy to blame the politicians and the evildoers for the state of our world today. However, God's Word makes it clear that it is His children who are responsible for the chaos holding us in its grip. Our lives can and should make a difference. God has promised to hear our prayers and heal our land if we humble ourselves before Him, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. We have the power to make a difference and bring healing to our sin-sick world. I pray that this book will encourage you to do just that.

I'm sure you may be familiar with the saying "WWJD"--"What would Jesus do?" Well, here is a new one for you: "WWJS"--"What would Jesus say?" That's right, "What would Jesus say?" WWJS. I'm sure if you are anything like me, you would like to quote Jesus. Now you may be able to quote a line or two, but wouldn't it be nice to have more quotes at the ready? Well, now you can. Jesus Said will help prepare you to quote our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And in our current world environment, all Christians should be sharing the words and wisdom of Jesus. I truly believe Jesus Said will coach you in your discussions with, say, your Bible study class or spread the words of Jesus to nonbelievers. So let's spread the word "WWJS."

Follow the raw and real journey of a young girl as she grows into a woman with unshakable faith while her mom was in the grip of alcoholism. From beloved daughter to scapegoat and verbally abused to separation to caretaker to beloved daughter again. Without Jesus, she would not have lived to share her story. It's not the worst story; unfortunately, many have it far worse, but it's her story. A story about how Jesus was there for her and how he's there for you, too, whether you acknowledge him or not. May it help you find the love, peace, strength, and hope that can only be found in him.The grip of alcoholism is very powerful, but the love of Jesus Christ is so much more powerful. His love never fails. We are imperfect but perfectly loved, unconditionally, no matter what happens in our lives or how much we sin. It's also a story about the power of love between a parent and a child and how it can endure even the most difficult relationship.The story was written and posted one way at a time, 121 ways Jesus was there for the author, along with personally selected supporting Bible verses. It can be read one way a day, all 121 ways in one day, or any way in between. Those who read along as it was written said it helped them grow their faith even if there were no struggles with alcohol. For those who are an alcoholic or at risk of becoming one and for those who love an alcoholic, it may be similar to your own story but you can't find the words to write. And if you don't yet know that Jesus is there for you, may it help you find him.

In summary, I would like to bring to mind Jesus's words in Luke 24:44-45:That all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me. Then opened. He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.Jesus opened the disciples' understanding that they would see fulfilled prophecy.Our understanding can likewise be opened up when we allow the Bible to speak. The Bible is its own best commentary.In this book, you will be able to see how Jesus fulfilled prophecy concerning himself and his kingdom/church. Many of the radio and television preachers are mistaken when they preach on the Second Coming of Christ. They misunderstand how the many prophecies they use have already been fulfilled in Christ's first coming and in the establishment of the church/kingdom. They misunderstand the many figurative and symbolic statements used by the prophets in the Old Testament. The New Testament writers were revealed the fulfilment of these prophecies.It is important to remember that figurative passages must always be understood in light of easy-to-understand passages and any interpretation of a difficult passage that contradicts a plain passage cannot be correct.God bless those of you who read this book--that you will be like the early Bereans in that they received the Word of God with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things are so or not (Acts 17:10-11).

Billy Watts and his team are determined to put an end to human trafficking. However, the traffickers are equally persistent in their endeavors to preserve their lucrative business of selling human beings. The war between the two sides has been nonstop, and though there have been numerous victories over the years, the team's fortitude is failing.While home for a much-needed break, Billy gets drawn into another case, one that could be his toughest yet. A fourteen-year-old girl has gone missing, and the perpetrators this time are two billionaires, Bode Horowitz and Sebastian Drakos. The silken web of depravity these two men have spun has been impenetrable. Surrounded by influential friends of great wealth, authority, and intelligence, the elite pedophiles have been allowed to travel openly with their victims. The fact that they believe themselves to be untouchable enrages Billy, and he calls his team together once more--this time, stateside.A plan devised to chip away at the world of horrors these billionaires have created has Billy and his team going after Horowitz's right-hand man, Mark Kennedy. A family man himself with two teenage girls, Mark has been indulging in the same perversion as his boss...and all without his wife's and daughters' knowledge. What Billy thinks is a race against time for one missing fourteen-year-old girl turns out to be a deadly race to save a pedophile's family.

The Bible is a simple story told in a complex way. For anyone who has been intimidated at the thought of reading the entire Bible from beginning to end, this book should make that story easier to understand. Ancient biblical storytelling and symbolism are explained in clear, simple, everyday language to make the meaning easier for anyone to comprehend.The entire Bible was written so that everyone can know God's plan and how it has changed through the ages in response to the actions of mankind. Every book in the Bible is written for everyone to increase their learning and understanding, but not every book is written to everyone, and we must learn how to divide God's Word to understand what is relevant for today. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Tim. 2:15, emphasis added). This book will give you a basic understanding of the Bible and will teach you how to divide God's Word to make studying easier and less confusing.Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. (1 Cor. 15:1-4)

U-Turn to Paradise provides the reader with a figurative treasure map that is oftentimes described in literal terms. Revealed in the stories that are retold is a how-to-get-to-heaven-from-here-to-there book. Testimonials from believers provide statements of miraculous deliveries, which also define their level of Christian faith and express how ordinary people overcome day-to-day struggles and relationship dramas through the power of prayer, praise, and living holy to the glory of God. Through the reading of their testimonies, one may find out how to do the same in one's life--that is, make a "U-turn to paradise." We see how they, through the power of the Holy Spirit, established true Christian boundaries and practical worship in the name of Jesus Christ in a world that has become more and more accepting of evil with each passing day!Other testimonials are gleaned from the lives of biblical figures. In these stories, Marilyn reveals how these inspired men of God struggled to either regain their spiritual compass or were determined to help others to discover the blessings and the practical benefits of making their "U-turn to paradise." She uses the retelling of these testimonials to showcase how-to examples, even algorithms, of how one who is living in today's 2012, 2013, and 2014 generation and beyond can follow the narrow path in the way that Jesus of Nazareth went to return to the great God in heaven!You will also learn that you must be spiritually fit--that is, "U" must repent of your sins and ask God for His unfailing mercy to be cleansed of all unrighteousness!At the writing of the second edition, God has blessed her to reside in Rancho Cordova, California, a city located just east of Sacramento, the state capital!In closing, she prays in the holy name of Jesus is that may it grow fervently, your desire to serve Him, He who can hold you blameless before God (2 Peter 3.14), "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24) day by day by all day; may you purpose in your heart in these evil-filled days to be with the Lord Jesus Christ; and may you answer the divine call of your shepherd and your King to be a member of His remnant church and thus return unto Him to live in paradise (Psalm 23:1; Revelation 2:7)!A-m-e-n! A-m-e-n! A-l-l-e-l-u-i-a!

Have you ever considered how God works in your life? Have you ever wondered why things have gone the way they have for you?In my life, I have experienced good times and tough times. I have lived in extreme poverty and with extraordinary wealth. I have seen some ugly parts of life and some beautiful parts too. I have lived through the horrors of war and the tragedies of death. I have suffered pain and loss, as well as healing and gain. I have experienced heartache and heartbreak, as well as joy and rejoicing that are beyond words. Some wonderful people have influenced me, and I have been able to influence others as well. I have started businesses and closed businesses. And the list could go on and on. The point is this: in spite of the difficulties, I consider myself to have lived a rich and full life!My desire in authoring this story is to share with my family--kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids--some of the events of my life that I believe have some relevance for them, particularly events about God's work in my life. Some of what I have to tell them now will be comforting or more precious to them later. The first section, "Grandpa Saw the Light," is about my conversion to Jesus Christ and the circumstances surrounding it. The second section, "Grandpa Shined the Light," is about my personal growth as a believer. And the third section, "Grandpa Shared the Light," is about my ministry and service for God.I also hope this book will be a source of encouragement to many, so they share their own story with others, particularly their loved ones. Everyone's life is a unique story, and it is meant to be shared with others. Some stories are more dramatic or sensational than others, but all are important.Your story is about God's work in your life and your response to Him. I hope this book is a source of blessing for you.

"Eastern Orthodoxy illuminated by the Gospel is one of the greatest books ever written about the Orthodoxy. Reading the book Eastern Orthodoxy illuminated by the Gospel is like climbing a high mountain, where your visual field gets expanded with each step, discovering new and exciting details, and finally gives an exceptional panoramic view that evokes the strongest feelings! Each new line is like a new stair leading to a highest top, from where you can observe the whole Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy from God's perspective. Light of the glorious Gospel and Christ's teachings shines like the sun throughout this book, illuminating a complete profession of faith of the Eastern Orthodox Church."Sladjan Djuric Author of the book Only Scripture, Serbia"I have never understood why Eastern Orthodox people practice or believe certain things. When I would ask, I would either get silence or a very confusing and superficial answer. Ivica's book made those mysterious things clear for the first time and helped me understand the essence and the roots of the Orthodox religion. Without exaggeration I think this is a first-class apologetic manual ever written. Everyone who is called to work with Orthodox believers should have this book because it can help them understand the people who practice Eastern Orthodoxy, and give them directions how to pray and preach the Gospel more efficiently (2. Corinthians 4:3-4, Ephesians 6:12).'' Jan Vareca Editor of a Christian e-magazine 'The trumpet of Zion', Serbia"Eastern Orthodoxy has been largely unknown in the West, but in the recent years there has been a surge of interest, particularly among Christians of Protestant/Evangelical orientation, many of whom wish to find out more about this mystical expression of faith that captivates by its ancient charm and connection to the early church fathers. The book Eastern Orthodoxy Illuminated by the Gospel by Ivica Stamenkovic will unlock the mysteries of Eastern Orthodoxy for the Western readers. A native of Serbia, a country with a strong Eastern Orthodox majority, Ivica had the advantage of studying Eastern Orthodoxy at its source. The product of his studies is a volume that deserves to be called nothing less than a textbook on Eastern Orthodoxy and probably the first of its kind available in the English language. His clear, scholarly approach leaves no stones unturned. Needless to say, a study such as this one has been long overdue in the West. Even though scholarly, the book is by no means "dry" and is an enjoyable read, cover to cover."Alex Jovanovic Pastor of Mooretown Brethren in Christ Church Sandusky, Michigan, USA

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. (John 1:1-5 New Living Testament)All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. (Words: Cecil F. Alexander, pub.1848; Music: "Bright and Beautiful" by William H. Monk, 1887. Public Domain)

This anthology represents a selective literary collection of research and scholarship over fifty years of the author's professional career. At the time this manuscript was submitted to the publisher, America was experiencing an endemic in violent crime and mass shootings; death, destruction, and heartache over COVID-19; an increase in suicides among young people; a rise and proliferation of hate groups rooted in the philosophy of white supremacy; an increase in homelessness; and a loss of hope for far too many people!The reader of this manuscript will find a generalized discussion across various titles rooted in the results of human oppression in its various forms on the choices human beings make. But if readers draw anything of importance or significance from the manuscript, let it be to keep hope alive in a world gone mad!

The author was born in a small town in the Virginia mountains. His nine-year-old sister, Phyllis, died when he was two years old. While she lay in the living room in a casket, he was gently made to understand that she was gone and would never return to play with him. He was devastated and returned to his room crying as he lay down on the bed. Jesus appeared to him suspended in the air with his sister next to Him. Jesus asked him why he was crying, and said his sister was safe with Him. He told him to help his mother and not to cry anymore. He had trouble processing what Jesus had just said but would never forget His words, which would influence him the rest of his life and become a guide star to fulfill the purpose that the Almighty God had planned for him.Robert became a successful attorney and later graduated from seminary. His ability to understand the Bible, together with his legal analysis, clearly substantiate that he saw the risen Lord in all His glory who rose from the dead more than two thousand years ago! Robert's witness shows that the Bible is truly the Word of God and can be trusted. God has a plan for every person's life and desires that you turn to Him and fulfill the plan and purpose He has for your life!

God has big plans for your life. You are unique, handcrafted by God, and nobody knows this better than God Himself. But can you recognize the greatness in you? We truly limit God when we don't allow Him to take us through the infamous transformation process He's so known for. No matter what stage of life you are in, there is something God is working on in your life. Though we each differ in the things God needs to work out in our lives, one thing we all have in common is that God needs to take us from our "Egypt" into our "Promised Land." Leaving Egypt behind will help you leave behind past mistakes and hurts and a life you no longer want to live and embrace the promises of God so you can fulfill your God-given assignment.

This book is based on a true story about an infant who grew up without any parents (no mother or father); struggled throughout life; endured hardships, ups and downs, highs and lows; dealt with racism, discrimination, mental, verbal, and psychological abuse; functioned independently; graduated from college with a professional degree without owing a cent for financial aid; built a house from the ground up without owing a single cent; bought timeshare property; gave birth to two amazing children who both attended college.That orphan, that person, happens to be no other than myself! I did it because of persistence, perseverance, resilience, and a strong will to survive.

The reason I wrote this book is because I know God loves us, and no matter what turmoil we face in life, his love will always save us. All we have to do is have faith. I know that the devil wants us to stray from the essence of the Creator. I wrote this so people will know the difference between God's purpose for our salvation and the devil's wicked plot against us. God is a loving God, and he will never leave or forsake us. We need to get a better understanding of God's grace instead of falling victim to our own selfish ways. God bless!

A Child's Journey from Foster Care to AdoptionMy life tells the parable of a child who finds the ultimate adoption through being fostered. At the tender age of five, I was taken from the custody of my natural parents and turned over as a ward of the state. After years of searching for my identity, I was able to find it through my beautiful foster mother Jimmie. She showed me the way to an adoption that supersedes natural logic. Many that travel the road of foster care are lost and suffer from identity crisis. Unfortunately, some give up in their youth and commit suicide. Some remain lost and follow the same path as their biological parents. Others struggle until they come to a place of reckoning and die to their old life and morph into a beautiful butterfly. This is the journey to freedom I took in foster care. Unbeknownst to me, I traveled the same path as my biological mother. I came to the same fork in the road as she and had to decide whether to let the old man die or keep him alive. The decision was not easy, but it was doable. There were so many distractions and enticing worldly privileges that had to be denounced. My biological mother ran from her opportunity of new roots, but I decided to stick to mine. My new roots provided lessons and instructions that helped me become the improved woman and mother I am today. I have been adopted into a family larger than life itself, and I would have it no other way!

Covenant with God-a Biblical and Historical View at Healing Our Nation is a labor of love truly focused on returning to God as a nation and examining how our country, which was founded on God's principles and Judeo-Christian values, has gotten off track so significantly and what we need to do as a nation to get back to where God is first in every aspect of our society. Then the covenant our Founding Fathers made with God will be restored, and we can once again enjoy the full blessings of favor, peace, and protection from our God-for our nation.

Let's armor up! It is true there is a very real enemy in the world; however, we believe in a very real and powerful God who generously provides us with the most important piece of protection imaginable! It is the full armor of God. In the same way we put clothes on every day, it's important we dress ourselves with this special armor for protection over our minds, hearts, and emotions. With it, we become mighty warriors of God!

Some events in our lives can leave us feeling shattered, lost, doubtful, and scared. When going through these times in our lives, we can wonder how God can use them for His glory. How can God use abuse or the loss of a child? How can He use addiction or any of the other mistakes that haunt our past?When we look at the Bible, we don't see perfect people. We see people who struggled, who suffered, and who were lost. God used them in spite of that. There are countless powerful stories in the Bible where things seem to be irreparable, but God showed how amazing He is. God showed how powerful He is in the Bible and can do the same in your life.You have to be willing to allow Him access to the sometimes-painful areas. The areas we want to hide from Him are where God tends to do His best work. What was once something we were ashamed of, God can turn it around to impact people lost in the same situation. There is always hope regardless of the situation whether unexpected or a consequence of our actions or inaction.God can take something seen as broken and turn it into something beautiful that glorifies Him. We have to be willing to allow Him the ability and trust in Him to do so. Are you ready to see what God can do with the shattered pieces of your life?

When speaking of the spirit world, people in general tend to think of the deceased for whatever reason when speaking of spirits. Whenever the spirit world is mentioned, it hasn't anything to do with the deceased nor deceased loved ones.Scripture says in Ecclesiastes 9:5, "As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all!"Also 1 Corinthians 5:3 says, "Absent in body, but present in spirit with the Lord!"Then who are pretending to be spirits of the dead, masquerading as spirits of the deceased or deceased loved ones? Wicked spirits or demons? They are the angelic sons of God who joined Satan in rebellion against God.Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels or angelic sons of God fought against the dragon who fought back with his one-third of angels or angelic sons of God but was defeated and cast out of heaven, down to earth, never allowed to stay in heaven any longer. They are now on the earth, coexisting with us as spirit persons or demons.Demons are invisible wicked spirit persons sometimes called fallen angels, having superhuman power. The first to make himself one was Satan, the devil, who became the ruler of other angelic sons of God, who also made themselves demons.Though restrained from materializing, they still have great power and influence over the minds and lives of mankind, even having the ability to enter and possess humans and animals as well as to use inanimate things such as houses.These invisible, wicked spirit persons, known as demons, have the ability to enter humans and possess their bodies to dwell in as their own, and control individuals to perform their will and purposes, which is to harm, steal, kill, or destroy. Neither age nor gender are exceptions.World, demons are the culprits, pretending and masquerading to be spirits of the deceased or loved ones, to spread the sickness and advance the idea that the dead are still living on the earth!

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent; for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. (Isaiah 62:1)On the day that I cried out, you answered me and made me bold with strength in my soul. (Psalm 138:3)Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is the answer.This is How I Survived Death (From Death to Freedom). This book is my living testimony of what a gracious God we serve and how he kept me and saved me from the taskmaster I served my entire life. I have gone through life as I call it riding the fence, but it doesn't work that way. You either have to be 100 percent all-in for Jesus or the devil. You cannot serve both. You either want to live life more abundantly or fall away to death with Satan. You are meant to live not die.I never truly know how much God loved me and what true grace was until I was totally set free and delivered from death, drugs, abusing myself, anger, pride, the root of bitterness, and lust. God came and gave me total repentance, forgiveness, deliverance from darkness, freedom from every chain of bondage the taskmaster Satan, and brought me into his kingdom. I have been set free. I found my mercy at the altar of Jesus's feet as I cried out to him. He had no hesitation. He cleaned me up as white as snow, setting me back on solid ground and showing me and loving me to feel the agape love I have never felt before. That's the kind of love you need to fill every void in your life and in my life--the best and most amazing feeling ever.I'm here to tell someone Jesus is the answer to every issue of life. He is the comforter, the deliverer, the waymaker. He is the salvation, healer, and protector. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And whoever the Son sets free is free indeed. Because you are my salvation I don't have to be afraid. I can call upon you, and you will save me.You have brought me out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke my chains of bondage. (Psalm 107:13)You have delivered me from darkness and brought me into your kingdom and your love. (Colossians 1:13)Total repentance plus total deliverance equals total freedom from the taskmaster. Freedom to live for my sweet king, Jesus, and all the praise and glory goes to God the Father for setting me free.
