Un poderoso e íntimo libro de memorias, mezclado con mareas que te inspirarán y a la vez te dejarán sin aliento.Cuando era niña, la historia de Pequeña Laura se reduce en Honduras, donde nació y creció en uno de los barrios más pobres y peligrosos en 1987. Mientras compartía cama con sus hermanos varones, era criada por su trabajadora madre, quien la educó con su ejemplo para que fuera una mujer de fe.Narrado con simplicidad, algo de humor y gran franqueza, "Pequeña Laura" nos ofrece un relato vivido e íntimo que nos traslada tanto al barrio olvidado como al café francés de Europa, lugares donde plasma momentos de profunda tristeza y otros de gran resistencia, hasta adentrarnos en su alma, que anhela libertad.Cada marea expone de manera abierta, detallada y sensible: la lucha de una niña que emprende una búsqueda por encontrar su propio lugar en este universo. Pero el mundo de la pequeña Laura se ve afectado por muchas situaciones traumáticas que la llevan a enfrentar lo desconocido. Su guerra contra voces, verdugos, fantasmas y demonios, como ella los llama, la van sumergiendo en un océano oscuro, frío y abrumador. En la catarsis más grande de su vida, toma la decisión más valiente e inesperada para todos, incluso para ella misma: decide morir.Este relato honesto y valiente nos planteará muchos desafíos sobre, ¿Quiénes somos en realidad? ¿Cómo volver a creer en Dios después de estar tan lejos? ¿Cómo ver días de sol en momentos de total oscuridad? ¿Qué hacer para sanar y obtener libertad de los traumas? ¿Quién queremos llegar a ser? ¿Cómo confiar en nosotros mismos sin auto sabotearnos?

He was a young warrior by the standards of his community. Even though Jarius had been recently knighted, he still struggled to understand why he was chosen to find the most holy of religious artifacts. This was clearly a mission that should have been assigned to the greatest Elvan warrior. He also understood that this was his destiny, a destiny that would require him to travel to an unknown land to find the ancient artifact known only as the Ray of Light. He had no idea what the Ray of Light looked like. He was only traveling with the faith that his God would reveal it to him in time to save his kingdom from the evil forces of Zel Camber. He knew he would have to find the Ray of Light and return before these evil forces could destroy the last elves on Namron Rae.His journey would take him to a strange land and force him to engage these people with the strangest surroundings and customs.

Good Idea, Bad Idea, Why? is a children's safety book that helps raise safety awareness to parents and children. It is very heartbreaking to hear about children being hurt or losing their lives over simple quick choices that were not thoroughly considered. This story helps mold safety consciousness with our children's everyday decision-making. The goal of this children's story is to open our children's mind to identifying and preventing potential accidents.The story of three children, James, Ari, and Aiden, playing a simple game of hide-and-seek at a residence on a beautiful summer day puts these children in situations where their ideas and actions need to be carefully thought through. However, the kids help explain and guide each other in avoiding putting themselves in harm's way. The bad ideas are corrected into good ideas as the children continue to enjoy themselves. As the children continue to play, the interest of safety grows on them while strengthening their instincts to recognize possible dangers.

The enemy or Satan lies to everyone, especially nonbelievers of Jesus Christ. From firsthand experience, stop listening to the enemy! The enemy lied and deceived me my entire life. I don't want this to happen to you. These lies just don't come from him; he uses people in your life, such as people in school, coaches, and even family members, to deceive and lie to you. Don't fall for it. The thief's purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). I got sick and tired of being angry all the time. I knew I needed to change because if I didn't, my life wouldn't be worth living anymore. I needed peace and joy in my life. I was tired of hurting the loved ones around me because of my attitude. After giving my life to Christ in 2008, He helped me and, still to this day, helps me heal day by day. It's all about forgiving yourself and allowing Jesus to work inside of you. Our Jesus helps me to heal through scripture and dreams. I went to plenty of therapists, and they never helped me. Don't let your pride prevent you from letting Jesus heal you. Don't think you're too tough for Jesus. Jesus never tapped out or gave up on us, so why should you give up on yourself? Grow closer to Jesus, and He will grow closer to you. Jesus's door is always open; have the guts to cross the threshold! He is waiting for you and wants a relationship with you. You have nothing to lose. Give your burdens over to Jesus, and quit having the enemy lie to you as he lied to me.

I hope the readers of my story will benefit from seeing a glimpse of how growing up poor can mold a person, as well as facing challenges in life. Working hard may be new to the current generation, at least not most had it the way I did growing up. It takes hard work to succeed in life. Hard work is honorable and builds character. The Bible says in Colossians 3:23, "Whatsoever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord." In 2 Thessalonians 3:10, it says, "If any man will not work, neither should he be allowed to eat."I also hope that when people have problems and hardships, they will have a positive attitude, that they will persevere and work through it and not give up. I believe that after reading this book, they will be more appreciative of what they have when seeing what life is like for the poor and that you don't have to stay poor. There are so many opportunities to be prosperous in this country if you set your mind to it and work for it. Also, pay as you go and stay out of debt as much as possible. Be honest when dealing with people. Also, try to pay your bills on time and do unto others as you'd have them do to you. Treat others as you would like them to treat you--with love and kindness. There is an old tale worth mentioning and pondering further that goes like this:Tale of Two WolvesA wise elder Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth."The boy thought about it and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed."We all have this dichotomous struggle that occurs daily. Which wolf do you choose to feed? Can you open your heart and your personal belief system to practice the good? These are the things I learned along the way. I'm still learning, so keep me in your prayers, and I hope, with the Lord by your side, you will also learn to fly.

What does an insecure buzzard do when his father announces to his family that they will be moving to Birdtown? Bradford must face his greatest fear: going to school with other bird species known for their beauty or ability to sing so well. Bradford comes up with a plan to conceal his identity but, in the end, discovers that the "cover-up" was not necessary after all. Bradford learns one of life's most important lessons: everything and everyone in Creation has immeasurable worth and purpose.

Are you so rich in joy? Leaps of Faith, Leaps for Joy is an impactful generational connection of an unstoppable joyous faith. The author gravitates our focus to a good understanding of unspeakable joy found between Deborah with Jael and Elizabeth with Mary. It is our obedience by faith that urges an advance to hope for all things and believes in all things. Experiencing unspeakable joy is a lifestyle of being jolly grateful resting in God's assurance. Joy must not be seasonal. Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, makes a significant statement, addressing today's society. His prolific message "Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" has impacted generations before us and changes you and me to not only fuel our faith in joy, but also to elevate a genuine faith on fire to impact the next generation.The author challenges readers that joy doesn't know status but a determined heart willing to share gladness wherever they go. Joy must be contagious to everyone that comes in close proximity with us. We give the matter that we are wealthy with. Do you want to experience unspeakable joy? The joy that brings tears of peace whenever you embrace someone or pray over them? Unspeakable joy announces our presence, yet it cannot be contained for joy is immeasurable. Joy is a catalyst of courage, meant to be shared to the world to strengthen and comfort people in moments of need and despair. Get up and leap your faith with joyous leaps knowing nothing is impossible to God. If we can still exercise the air in our lungs, we must ever be hopeful in life's uncertainty. Why? We have great hope in Christ Jesus, who is the source of joy.

Since the start of time, man has been searching for ways to live a productive and meaningful life. Everyone goes through this thought process, either consciously or subconsciously. The key to finding that answer is to begin asking the right questions. A great starting point for asking the right questions is a question I asked myself thirty years ago. That question was, What are my core values, principles, or beliefs? In other words, what is truly important to me. I simplified that question to this--What do I believe? Going through answering that question led to the creation of my personal I Believe list. This was by far one of the most meaningful and life-changing experiences in my life. My only regret is I didn't ask that question till I was forty-four. Regardless of your age, asking the question (What do I believe?) and creating your personal I Believe list will be one of the most important questions and activities you can do to position yourself to living the productive and meaningful life we all long for.The Question: A Guide to Answering Life's Most Important Question shares my journey of answering that question and then how I used my responses to guide me on each day's adventure called life.

A handsome young man with a drive for the wild side and a passion for living life to the fullest.Can two young lives so completely opposite of each other form a lasting relationship?This true love story is presented in its rawest, most unedited form through the memoirs of two individuals destined to meet and fall in love.*****I very much enjoyed this book. It takes you back to a time when America seemed a little less crazy, a little more pure. And yet at the heart of it is finding that lifelong love from the perspective of her and him. That love, as wholesome as apple pie, is not defined by time or era, making the book as relevant today as in the period it was written. A wonderful read.--MargieI could easily identify with the characters as I remembered my first date with my husband. It is truly love that brought them together in this story of faith, love, and passion.--Kathy ChappellWonderful book as I know the author. I loved reading about her and her husband's childhood and their relationship. Excellent read!--Connie Lucas

This book contains some of my unique experiences that I have encountered while turkey hunting. You will be surprised at the unusual situations in which I have found myself.

This book answers many Biblical questions that Christians have asked for years. Our faith must be in the truth and we must apply the truth to our life.

The words of this book are a testament to all who have fallen and have gotten back up and also a guide to the ones who have no strength to get back up. God's love is real and will be there for anyone who calls out the name of Jesus. You are not alone. And you are loved.

They were turbulent years, the ones following America's Civil War. The emancipation of those held in slavery opened new ministry opportunities for Northern churches. Previously blocked from reaching any held as slaves, they now were free to preach the Good News to the poor, helping "bind up the nation's wounds." They did their best to follow the Lord's example--setting prisoners free, releasing the oppressed, and especially as Adventists, proclaiming the year of the Lord's favor.Individuals discovered within this new mission field, the Freedmen, willingly came to hear the Word of the Lord proclaimed. Among their many physical and spiritual needs, one request arose high above all others. The Freedmen wanted to read. That privilege had been vigorously denied in the past, but now, with freedom a reality--they wanted schools. Many had the noblest of reasons. Having heard preaching and teaching from the Bible all their lives, they now wanted to read those words on their own. Others wanted an education to help secure the new liberties coming their way.Northern churches sent more preachers than teachers, yet schools were established. While teaching the new converts to read the Bible, missionaries were pressed to go beyond that introductory level. However, churches on the home front seldom saw the need for expensive schools and only reluctantly supported anything beyond the preaching ministry.Meanwhile, the surrounding White community was strongly opposed to any schooling at all. Teachers were threatened, housing denied, and some schools burned to the ground.Missionaries stood in the middle, seeking to please both the sending churches and the Black Freedmen, while maintaining peace within an oftentimes hostile community. They were overworked, financially under-supported, and all suffered from "burnout"; a few even paid the ultimate sacrifice. Yet many individual lives were wondrously transformed as they participated in this most high and noble Christian mission.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and defeated? Have you lost hope? Perhaps in your despair your heart emits a plea for help, aware you need a power beyond your ability to overcome. Our human abilities limit achievement, but faith connects us to the unlimited resources and ability of God. He is the greater, almighty, and gracious one who has put faith in our hearts that we may know Him and turn to Him in troubled times.Nuggets of Grace, birthed in despair, points us to this God of grace. Its poems and reflections celebrate Jesus and His love as desirable, inspiring, and compelling antidotes to despair and sin in the human heart. Amid competing influences of culture and religion in the world, they invite and encourage us to look to Jesus as the way to strengthen the inner life.To look is to center our thoughts on God, to posture ourselves before Him each day in prayer and praise, and meditation on His Word, as we listen for His voice and direction in our hearts. In such discipline and surrender will God's grace for every trial flow to us by the Holy Spirit. God will comfort. He will draw near to us, and our joy will arise.As I looked in faith, believing, God healed my body and mind. He lifted my head. Like a wilted flower that had been given a drink of water and now rises to face the sun, so my head rose again. Then He told me to go and live.Joy and the grace of God are the important themes of the book. The source of our joy and fulfillment is the living God, who wants us to overcome. He wants to pour out grace on us and write a story on our hearts. It is our testimony as living witnesses to His life, His power, and His love.

Few have ever known the honor and mystique of growing up in the virgin Amazon rainforest. In the late 1950s, Paul Johnson's family of six chose to leave the comforts of Canada to disappear into stark isolation, three weeks travel by dugout canoe from the last outpost of Bolivian civilization. Survival was precarious due to unending encounters with the anaconda, jaguar, crocodile, and an unknown hostile tribe.History shamefully confirms that so-called civilization conquered or annihilated many original Amazonian cultures. Even so, dozens of remote indigenous nations remained hidden in the vast jungle encompassing an area larger than the continental USA. The family's hope was to befriend and respect one of those tribes, equipping them holistically to face the onslaught that would inevitably invade their pristine world.For Paul's family, learning to thrive involved harvesting the bounty of the jungle, carving out a primitive base camp on the riverbank, and tolerating a multitude of insects, intense heat, and fatal tropical diseases. After three years of unimaginable sacrifice, confidence was finally earned with a Stone Age people group, ushering in a tenuous first contact.As book 1 of a trilogy of Rain Forest Memoirs, this narrative highlights the intentions and unrestrained power of God, as played out in the lives of a few ordinary messengers. Faith brought them to the forest. Perseverance kept them there. Peace that surpassed understanding sustained them throughout innumerable trials. Their legacy imparts compelling purpose and destiny for those yearning for far more in life today.

Everything in life goes through a process. A baby grows in their mother's womb, a seed is planted in the soil, and diamonds are made from the pressure found deep within the Earth's core. What is common in these three examples? They are all very dark and isolated places. I have come to learn that God develops our character and purpose in that very same manner--within the darkroom.But remember...what's developed in the dark will shine in the light.

In this world, chaos certainly seems to reign. World events and news leave many of us anxious and searching for help to navigate it all and worrying about what it all means for the future. If this is you as well, the Lord has the answers you seek. Are you curious about the Bible and what it says? Have you ever asked yourself, is the Bible really applicable to the world today? In What If? we will look at the possibility of what life could be like if we lived according to God's plan and directions for our lives. Come, join me on a journey of God's Word. Together, we will walk through "What if" questions and explore the answers that the Lord is eager to provide.

She is retired now, but she appreciates each challenge because it made her stronger in the Lord.

The Relentless Purity Workbook is designed to complement the book Relentless Purity. The pair is ideal for a men's small group study or for anyone who is serious about letting God clean out their heart of sexual lust or even impure motives in a seemingly benign situation. The questions can facilitate meaningful discussions about intriguing topics-- like avoiding pornography, dealing with an infatuation, or having healthy social interactions with women--that may be awkward to bring up elsewhere. These thought-provoking questions allow each group member to compare their personal values and perceptions of societal expectations with the others and to hone their understanding of what God and society expects.The Relentless Purity Workbook takes you on a journey of getting to know yourself better. The workbook revisits all the main points made in the book but also encourages you to take a closer look at what you believe and why. The author does not tell you what to believe but allows room for the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart, as only He knows your thoughts and motives. We will look at different types of common relationships and situations where temptation may lurk so that you can let God examine your heart for any sinful, or simply unwise, behavior.The author's hope is to foster an open and healthy conversation about men's behaviors around women, whether they are intentional, subconscious, or even misunderstood, and to remove any misguided or subconscious guilt. This is not about shaming people; it's about helping men to identify and break free from unhealthy and harmful patterns of behavior so that they can enjoy a spiritually, mentally, and socially healthy life.
