Grace Santangelo was innocent, reserved, and obedient. At fifteen, she dutifully assisted in the day-to-day operation of her parents' boardinghouse in Illinois. Never in her wildest dreams did Grace imagine meeting and falling in love with boarder number 3, Gio Rivia, a handsome Italian immigrant that was eight years her senior.Marriage quickly followed. The strong, determined, visionary characteristics that Grace admired about Gio when they were courting became challenges in their marriage.Gio's salvation and developing relationship with God united the family for a period of time, but his wife's debilitating illness and an indiscreet sister-in-law took its toll on his new commitment.Alone in her isolated bed, Grace fervently prayed for God's grace to cover her children all the days of their lives. God, in his merciful goodness and grace, did just that in spite of it all.

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall. (Matthew 7:24-27 NJKV) Welcome to Where Addiction Recovery and the Word of God Meet!

We are made in the image of God. Therefore, Jesus was born in the image of our Father God and His mother Mary, but he did not exhibit the glory of God. However, three of his apostles Peter, James, and John did see His glory on the Mount of Transfiguration. Matthew, Mark, and Luke give us accounts of this glimpse of the divinity of Jesus, but John does not-- probably because it had already been included in the other gospels. John ended his account of the tiny timeline of the ministry of Jesus by saying, "There were so many other things that Jesus did, that if they were all written down I don't believe the world could contain the books. Amen" (John 21:25).

Life teaches so many lessons that can be applied to the various sections of our daily lives.

Life's Dance is an assortment of my life's memories and experiences that, even in my twilight years of life, still sit prominently in my heart and soul. I love all the characters that have traveled into and out of my life. Each character, whether good, bad, or in-between, added something to advance the days of my life. Life is a dance filled with every genre of music and lyrics and every type of dance. Some of the dances and musical lyrics of my life have been sad with hard lessons to learn. Some have been slow and sweet. Others have been frenzied, joyful, exciting, adventurous, passionate, and filled with love. Some of the people that I have met dance to the beat of a different drummer than most of us.The sad times and the bad times make the good times much better. During life's good times, we plant seeds of goodness so that when the bad times come, with the proper love and nurturing, we can turn the bad times into something good. I believe that every person that we meet has a reason for being in our lives. We do not cross paths with anyone by chance. Some people are in our lives for a short time. Some people come into our lives at exactly the right time, often just in the nick of time. We have those people who are with us for a lifetime. We have people who love us and people that we love. We learn a lesson of some kind from every person we meet.This assortment of my life's memories and experiences is in no particular order. I have written them as they have popped randomly into my head and flowed through my fingers onto the pages of this book. Each memory and experience represent a footprint on my heart and life that have served to make me the person that I am. I am incredibly grateful that God has given me the life that I have been fortunate enough to live.

Like all children, the DP Kids have their ups and downs, and also disagreements. But through it all, they have gained a special friendship.The DP Kids gives children of all cultures the knowledge and understanding that if you are underprivileged, poor, or have disability challenges, in God's eyes, everyone is special, and it is important to love everyone just as God loves us.

WARNING!This is not a feel-good book. This book is the blunt-force of truth resulting in aha! and OMG! moments.Parts of the books of Daniel and Revelation 13:1-10 are being fulfilled before our eyes. These events give us a verifiable picture of earthly events, allowing us to understand God's timeline in the spirit realm of heaven. It is important for God's people to understand these things, to be prepared, and to understand these things must happen to prepare the world for the kingdom of God on earth. All these events on earth are wrapped in God's love to save as many as possible by preparing them.

Seventy-one percent of the earth's surface is covered by water and 91 percent of the earth's water is in the oceans of the world.Five hundred years ago, 90 percent of everything people needed was delivered by ship. That figure has not changed. The maritime shipping industry is still delivering the bulk of our daily necessities, such as food, automobiles, clothing, etc.As a port chaplain, I have met scores of men and women who come to our ports from every corner of the earth. They are the driving force of the world's economy. These mariners share their stories with me, and I in turn share the good news of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection with them. The message of the gospel is the greatest story ever told.The maritime minutes shared in this book are gleaned from my personnel experience as the son of a shipbuilder and the grandson of a commercial fisherman, as well as from studying the lives seafarers from ancient times to the present.

Seven is God's complete number. The Lord had sixty-six books placed in his Bible. God's Warrior is his sixty-seventh and final book--fulfilling the scripture Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Please, read, pray, praise, rejoice, and sing to how God uses His warrior to pave His road and make it smooth, straight, and perfect for the Second Coming of our Lord, our King, Jesus the Christ--just as it was for the First Coming of our Master, our Friend, and our Savior. We are talking about the one that John said: "He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose" (St. John 1:27).

Each year, hundreds of children enter into the foster-care system for reasons beyond their control. The removal of these children from their natural home can be quite devastating for them. They have an array of feelings and emotions, from being scared of the unknown to being concerned about their biological parents, to adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings and new individuals.But what about the children who already reside in the home prior to the arrival of the foster child? Oftentimes, when adults take in foster kids, they have children of their own, or there are other permanent children living there. The introduction of new kids can be a hard adjustment not only for the foster kids entering the home but also for the biological children of foster parents.This book is one of a series of books about the interaction between foster kids and the original children of the household but is told from the perspective of the biological child. Each book introduces a different dilemma, situation, or challenge that a biological child may encounter in dealing with a foster child who has entered their home.The flip side of the book presents the same situation and what the conversation may look like between the parent and the biological child. It offers some sort of resolution and attempts to give an explanation for the initial problem or behavior that a biological child may be experiencing. So much focus is often given to foster children entering to the system that the feelings and experiences of the biological or permanent child are many times overlooked. It is the hope of the author to offer a stepping-stone to begin a dialogue and help with the everyday challenges of foster families.

Been physically, verbally, or emotionally abused in a relationship? If so, this book is for you. If you have experienced a form of trauma not listed, it is for you, too.Trauma comes in many forms, but one thing remains consistent: If left unresolved, it will affect all areas of your life and leave you in a special hell that only those who have experienced it can relate to. Walk with Deanna as she takes you through her journey to freedom from various traumas that had held her captive for nearly forty years and see that you, too, can be free.And You Shall Be FreeDeanna Langworthy"I had the privilege of reviewing Deanna Langworthy's latest book, And You Shall Be Free, and it was a compelling page-turner! Deanna is authentic about her journey in biblical forgiveness regarding the trauma she has lived through and how practical God's Word is to a person who is willing to obey Jesus no matter the cost. Deanna relates the details of being painfully violated, bullied, and misunderstood, but her journey ends in triumph instead of tragedy. You, too, can be set free if you do the work! It is never too late for a fresh start!"Mindy PetersonCofounderFresh Start

My Life, My Pain was meant to be strictly an autobiography about personal struggles and triumphs of a young man who broke his family dynasty of voodoo priests to become a Christian. From his voodoo priest father who tried to kill him and his son to being poisoned by a witch; to his puckish uncle who impeded him becoming an engineer; to his colleagues of pastors who undermined his ministry with one who tried to kill him by sending an evil spirit on him; to his business partner who stabbed him while he was asleep, Steve's life has juxtaposed the power of darkness with the superior power of God. Amidst an illness, Steve was taken to heaven and given a message for the church. The message deserves the attention of every Christian.11

This book is about the special bond between an owner and her dog, Sophie. This unique story line expresses Sophie's adventures as she journeys through life with Gabriella. The purpose of this book was to creatively target speech and language goals through Sophie's experiences. Throughout the story, Sophie's development is revealed through her descriptors. These descriptors can be used to target articulation disorders, specifically for /s/ and /s/ clusters. Additionally, this story has verbal and visual prompts so parents can use the prompts as a strategy when working with their children on the /s/ sound. Sophie's Special Story also has opportunities to target language goals such as answering WH questions, labeling common objects, increasing vocabulary through descriptions, expanding syntax, describing emotions/feelings, and sequencing and story retell. This publication is a powerful and helpful tool/material for speech language pathologists because they can use this one resource to target many goals; this will especially be beneficial for group speech therapy sessions. Sophie's Special Story is an entertaining and diverse book that can be enjoyed by teachers, parents, specialists, and children alike!

I thought for sure what God was putting me through was building my faith: the voice telling me to drop down and roll up in a small ball so that the giant bird wouldn't eat me, being in the cave with the giant fish, no telling how long I was underwater--these stories are all true. Isn't it something how every time you read the Bible through, you get something new out of it, and God's timing is perfect timing, and that's how I got my faith.I thought God was building up my faith, but Romans 10:17 says, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Faith does not come by praying for it, fasting for it, or having someone lay hands on you to bestow it. It only comes from hearing God's word, and I think once you hear it, you still must make a decision to believe it; Yes, I believe every word of God.PS. And I know God can give faith however He wants to.And I'm only telling what I've seen and what I've heard. Amen.

The second coming of Jesus Christ draws closer with every tick of the clock. With every heartbeat, each person is closer to meeting the Lord face-to-face. The question at hand is, When will this occur? A more pressing question is, Are you, your family, and your church ready specifically?The purpose of the book of Revelation is to inform and prepare each person and church for the reality of the second coming. The purpose of this book is to inform, train, and prepare individuals and churches to engage the present culture with the gospel as we experience the radical effects of these long-prophesied end times.This book is written for those who know very little about the Bible or the Christian faith as well as for those who have followed Christ faithfully for decades. Jesus' constant challenge in Scripture was and is "Be ready."

Eddy Beckendorf was raised in a New Orleans home marred by domestic violence. Following the sensational killing of his philandering police officer father by his mother, he descended into an abyss of mental anguish and pain. A failing student and high school dropout, he was a lost soul in a sea of despair who seemed to encounter tragic events at every turn, until he turned to the Lord. A renewed reliance on God brought symmetry to his life and established a path that led him to become a decorated law enforcement officer, corporate manager, and deacon in the Catholic Church. Through homilies and counseling sessions, Deacon Eddy has, for the past three decades, used the harsh experiences of his past to serve as a GPS for others seeking an exit ramp from their own despair. There was a time when he wondered why God brought him such misery. Now, he realizes the challenges provided him insights that most clergymen do not possess as they digest and pontificate on growing secularism, disappointment, violent crime, domestic abuse, injustice, and various ills of society. The Silver Bullet of Faith is Deacon Eddy's story, an inspiring narrative of faith told against the backdrop of historical events in one of the country's quirkiest cities.

Michael J. Lindsay wrote this fictional story of a deep state murder that is utterly intertwined with demonic forces and end-time prophecies for the benefit of people who are just wondering what is going on today. This saga comes straight from the abyss and current events. The story line is a continuation of Mike's previous novel, The Nephilim's Revenge, in which Mike's hero uncovered the involvement of the country's elite with Nephilim, fallen angels, and other dark characters in a scheme to subordinate all mankind. At the center of this scheme is a top secret government project to create several genetic lines of supersoldiers through a method known as transhumanism.The main character, detective John Michael McIntyre, attempts to bring all of those responsible for the murder to justice, but the leader of the group escapes after a shoot-out in the Arizona desert. McIntyre's pursuit of this former FBI agent takes him into bizarre territory. The title of this book, Rise of the Nephilim, Pergamos Ascending, reflects the increasing success of these nefarious characters in creating their supersoldiers and world, and evading discovery or capture. This worldwide confederacy is soon to establish its New World Order, which many citizens do not even recognize as rapidly materializing in our day. Detective McIntyre discovers that these demonic goals all parallel what happened in Genesis 6:1-7, and now their nefarious plan is apparent.Readers will be surprised to find that by the end of this complex tale of deception, they will have a real working knowledge of latter-day Bible prophecy that will enable them clearly to see world events that unquestionably signal our entry into the end-time.

In this book, you will learn and see the beautiful creations of the world created by God.
