This cheerful children's book delivers the message that God is the supreme provider of all gifts. The book offers youngsters the realization that earthly possessions are wonderful blessings and favors, however minimal when compared to the gifts God gives us.The simplistic detail on each page absolutely brings the book to life. The words offer encouragement for children to reflect on who God really is to us and what God truly provides for us.Locked in crystal clear biblical scripture is the guarantee that God is the ultimate source of all things.Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father. (James 1:17)
The storm was raging. Cold hard wind with torrential rain and mudslides. It was difficult to keep their footing as they slowly traversed the wet muddy trail.Suddenly, mud came falling from above like an avalanche. Both Hunger and Thirst were swept off their feet and began sliding down the mountainside. Panicked, they knew they needed to hold on to something to keep from falling all the way down the mountain to what would likely be the end of their journey. Feeling the pressure on all sides, tumbling hard, they made a desperate attempt to grab some tree branches and shrubs as they fell. They managed to stop their fall and pull themselves into some low-hanging tree branches and a patch of shrubs. Holding on for dear life, they held each other as they gazed into the dark stormy night.Evidence of Christianity is about the adventurous journey of two characters who desperately want to help the people of the City of Morphoo, a city lost in darkness. With an inner drive to set people free, Hunger and Thirst take inspiration from their grandmother as they set out to climb a mountain outside the city in hopes of finding answers at the top.As they navigate Mount Transformation, their journey becomes one of struggle to understand the difference between human effort and God's unlimited power to bring change through the power of the Holy Spirit. Hunger and Thirst experience many trials as they climb and receive strength to overcome from fellow travelers returning from the top of the mountain. This journey would not only change their city but would also dramatically transform their lives forever as they would come to understand, "When you change, things change."
God tells us not to be deceived about the timing of us being caught up to meet Jesus in the air, an event Christians refer to as the rapture. He would not have said that unless there was going to be an avalanche of false teaching with regard to the timing of the rapture in the sequence of end-time events. Diligently studying pertinent Scriptures in God's Word is the only way one can be free of deception and be spiritually prepared for the times that may befall us. This book helps the reader to deeply study the Word of God to see the truth. --Colleen Wandmacher"I've read a large number of books on the rapture debate, and in my opinion, this excellent book is by far the best. While reading this book I felt like my spiritual glasses were being cleaned so I could see the simplicity of the truth of scripture again. Well done, Colleen. Marvelous! Five gold stars from me." --Matthew Lloyd Grant "I have read several books about the rapture and end-time prophecy including Pre-Tribulation and Mid-Tribulation, and when I come across this book, it was so clear, logical, and well-written based solely on the scripture that I could grasp the subject clearly and convincingly which has helped me tremendously in making up my mind where to stand on the subject of the timing of the rapture at the end time. Really recommended." --D. Wynn
Many people who read this book may think that it contains dreams that have no meaning. They may even say to themselves, "God doesn't speak that way today." They may even try to explain them away by saying, "When the Bible was finished, God didn't need to speak to us in dreams and visions anymore. We have his Holy Word now, and that's how he speaks to us."

It's easy to say life is hard and nobody understands what I have been through. Every time you struggle to get ahead, you dwell on your past experiences.

I work hard for everything I have accomplished.But when you focus on the present and all that you have been through, you say, "It was nothing but God." My past may have broken me, but it didn't destroy me. I may not have had the best childhood or past experiences, but I'm still breathing to share my story. The breath in my body is saying God is not done with me yet. I will continue to hold my head high, fix my crown, let my light shine, and live.God is more than good. He will see you through.

The real-life stories of five courageous African-American women of different ages, backgrounds, and experiences, trusting in God's strength and love. Each story is told to share their experiences, and to encourage and strengthen others. As current executives of Take Your Sister 2 Lunch--a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in New York City, the ladies were inspired upon creating the title of their book from the inspirational song, "Blessed Assurance," a popular spiritual hymn. Under the guidance and tutelage of the TYS2L CEO, Dr. Dianna Anderson, JD, the ladies graciously came together to tell their personal stories in the hopes of providing wisdom, encouragement, strength, and self-love to women all over the world. It was God's love and mercy that gave them the strength and courage to survive and gain wisdom from each experience. Their unique experiences reveal His genuine love, mercy, and existence in each of their lives. So now, by a common thread through their own personal stories, which were destined to be told and shared, created an even stronger bond between them. There's healing in telling your story--for you and others! Speak up, speak out...speak!
God is always faithful to the believer! I am living proof that God has brought me through many trials, and when I finally realized I needed to do His will was when I wrote this book. My prayer is that this book goes worldwide and causes a revival like this world has never seen!
Never has there been a time such as this; the world needs truth! It is time for this book!Nearly two thousand years ago, one of the most famous conversations in history took place as Jesus Christ said this: "'To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.' Pilate saith unto him, 'What is truth?'" (John 18:37-38).Pilate was aware that there were many people declaring at that time their truths about a great many things. As it was then, so it is in the twenty-first century, a time when it seems that the whole world is convinced that there are no absolutes, and so truth is only what we determine it to be. In the same premise, the world of religion has become a very confusing place.If God is not the author of confusion, then why are we so confused? Why are there countless versions of Christianity today? Why are teachers teaching so many variations to God's salvation message? When senior deacon and Bible teacher Matthew C. Haner began his quest to find the answers, he could not know of the magnitude of the journey he was about to take. He soon realized that finding the answers could not be about allowing himself to be entangled in the web of endless doctrinal debates and comparing doctrines to doctrines. Nor could it be about pointing to who is right or wrong in this present century but rather, finding and accurately presenting the genuine doctrine of the kingdom of God and heaven. It was then that God put it upon his heart to go "back to the beginning."Written in an easy-to-read format, Matthew's work will systematically guide you into the original truth about repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit of God. This study guide clearly reveals the original salvation message taught to the whole world. The author reminds us that the Word of God exhorts all to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints," and so students and teachers alike, settle in as you learn of the original truth found within the Word of God.
This devotional book is a second book for the author, Lucy Allen. In her first work entitled The Pond, Lucy shows how God can be seen in everything in the natural world. Nature itself is a testimony to our Creator. In her new book, Pearls of Great Price, Lucy's devotional material has expanded beyond the pond, somewhat, but continues to focus on every day things to teach a spiritual lesson. Matthew 13:45-46 says this: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he found one very precious pearl, he went and sold all that he owned and bought it." Scholars liken this merchant to a Christian and the pearl as the kingdom of Christ. You will find pearls of faith, grace, hope, love, mercy, peace, promises, and salvation within these pages, and it is Lucy's prayer that the lessons contained within this book will point all merchants to the cross of Calvary. The last pearl is that of living the Christian life and knowing the tools that we have in our arsenal to walk the walk as a child of God. Will you sell out to Christ to obtain that pearl of greatest price? *All scripture references are from the King James Version or Common English Bible unless otherwise noted.
Will God use me for a purpose and a plan in my life? If He will, how can I know it? When I hear these questions from people, I always say, "Yes, He will." His personal promise is that He does have a plan and purpose for your life. Just read Jeremiah 29:11. You're not going to understand everything that comes your way in life. Trust one thing: The same God who loved you enough to give you life loves you enough to plan for the future of the life that He has given you. God promises that if you seek Him, you will find Him; and in doing so, you will also discover His plan and purpose for your life (God's will).A lot of people spend a lot of time wondering about how God's will is an enigma that cannot be figured out. This is a very common misconception. We can figure out the plans He has for us. All the details may not be crystal clear at first because God keeps some aspects of His will to Himself; but with study and meditation of God's Word, we can know the path to take in any given situation. He will never leave you searching for answers. You will have to spend time seeking Him for answers to your prayers; but once you do, He will never disappoint you. God is the only one who knows the plans He has for us and how they can be achieved. They are plans that hold renewed joy and peace. You must renew your mind with scripture from God.It's my desire that whoever reads this book will let God show His everlasting love in a fresh, new way. No doubt, once you come to Christ and accept Him as your Savior, the most profound aspect of the Christian life is discovering that He has a will and purpose not only for your heavenly life but also for every situation you face each day.
God began speaking to Conie Taylor in his jail cell at a federal prison in Sandstone, Minnesota.During these encounters, God revealed many mysteries of an impending end to be revealed to a dying world, "When the time has fully come."Conie Taylor is not a minister, a pastor, nor an evangelist, at least, in the traditional sense. He is a carpenter who works at his trade to support a family, but what differentiates him from other men is that he had specific mandates brought to him in his jail cell by two angels.Why Conie? No one really knows, but we know enough about God that it's the message and not the messenger. So for no other reason, we listen to Conie Taylor.It took this Alabama carpenter many years before finally being able to document God's directives, and so Conie Taylor has finally written his amazing revelations.This book, by no means, replaces the Holy Bible but enhances its statutes and disciplines. We encourage you to allow the Spirit of God to lead you through the reading of this book and that when the time of decision is made, you will have had all the essences of His Word to sustain you through the end!ContactConie Taylorconie3737@att.net

I Am Peter is the story of Peter, the disciple and apostle, as told by Peter himself. I invite you to walk with Peter or perhaps just listen as he speaks to you about the segment of his life from the time he met Jesus through Pentecost in Jerusalem. Peter talks about learning to know Jesus, being called the "Rock," walking on water, denying Jesus, the resurrection, and Pentecost. He talks about his doubts, fears, frustrations, joy, guilt, observations, reactions, relationships, and fishing. As you listen to Peter tell his story, you have the opportunity to walk in his shoes and think about what he said or did and imagine what you might have done.Just remember that you are a Jew two thousand years ago and have no knowledge of anything you know today. You have personal contact with Jesus and His teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection. The book is fictional as to Peter's thoughts and reactions, but the things that occur are based on the Holy Bible with actual quotes and references.Peter as a person was an ordinary fisherman who enjoyed his work but over time became an extraordinary man. He was blunt, outspoken, and brash, but he also was curious, uncertain, and fearful to the point of denying Jesus. Through it all, Peter developed a great faith and passion to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Peter was touched by Jesus, and perhaps you will be touched in a different way after walking with Peter.
Marcie was desperate to find out what was wrong with her. The constant depression with antidepressants and tranquilizers since the age of twelve; too many suicide attempts to count; migraines that caused her to hit her head against the wall; lost time she could not remember; and numerous psychiatrists, but no answers. There had to be an answer. Almost by accident she starts seeing a Christian psychologist who wants to find the answer too. Her feeling of losing control; her rapid mood swings; her nightmares about a closet door; these all led to an unexpected discovery. A poem she wrote in therapy led them to believe that her inner child was hiding in a closet. But why? A dream revealed a closet full of children that she was hiding. Twenty-seven of them to be exact. Who were they? What did this mean? More therapy revealed that they were all parts of her. Alternate personalities that had lived through: the sexual abuse as a child by her father and others, the rejection by her mother, who blamed her - a three year old; the horrifying rituals of a satanic cult; the torture she endured from them; the rapes, even by a religious clergyman. It all spelled out Multiple Personality Disorder. She had dissociated and alters were created to live through the horror and terror of her childhood. She would have to relive these memories that they had been keeping. Only through the help of God, and the caring therapists, was she able to live through the eleven years of therapy. Interesting and suspenseful as the discoveries are made and inspirational as God puts the pieces back together to make one whole person.

Through much effort and research over the past nineteen years, Amy Socha has done her very best to demonstrate the overwhelming proofs of the authenticity, accuracy, and wisdom of the ancient biblical writings. There is a great amount of evidence from archaeologists, historians, theologians, biblical prophecy, and even scientific discoveries. These proofs lead us to the conclusion that only God could have inspired the words of the many writers directly through their thought processes. Many of these writers were true witnesses of the many details involved in both the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ, and those details are all described in this manuscript.A careful study of both the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures reveals identical words and passages in both sets of scrolls. This means that the New Testament writings are an exact fulfillment of the writings of the Old Testament. (the Tanakh) In both, there are truly many instances in which God, in His perfect wisdom, illustrated the promise of a Messiah as the "way" to obtain salvation of our souls and eternal life in heaven and how He has already kept that promise in the person of Jesus Christ. Amy reveals how many of life's difficulties can be prevented and how many problems can be solved. She describes how to have a meaningful relationship with Jesus and the many blessings obtained through that relationship. These blessings are all meant to give each of you peace and joy in this life and in eternal life.
