Our virtues play a very important role in our lives. They fill us with passion and bring meaning to our very existence. So often it seems we take them for granted and fail to recognize their true potential. Despite our neutrality toward them, they remain constant and pure, just waiting to express themselves through our actions. It is so easy for us to get caught up in our own realities and become blind to their calling. Blind to the basic truth that there is a beautiful simplicity and infinite energy that surrounds every human life, including our own.Recognizing and relating to this simplicity and energy is the basis for essentially all of our relationships. Of all the virtues we are capable of, there are three that stand out above them all--faith, hope, and love. In this nutshell, we will take a look at these virtues and their significance in our lives. We will look at love as it pertains to our relationship, both with ourselves and with others. We will look at hope as it pertains to our relationship with the world around us. Lastly, we will take a look at faith and how it pertains to our relationship with our God. In this nutshell, we will challenge ourselves to reclaim our virtues and live a life of purpose.

Why does God allow tragedies and bad things to happen to us? Is everything that happens in my life God's will and plan for me? Is God judging and punishing me? Is God angry and displeased with me? How am I supposed to pray? Does God still physically heal our bodies today? Why is it so important to understand the difference in the covenants God makes with us?

The Bible says, "It is the goodness of God which draws men to salvation." This book of our mother's memories tells story after story of God's unmerited favor in the lives of His children, how He intervened in the lives of our parents again and again, keeping them and calling them into a deeper walk with Him. Our mother shared both happiness and heartbreak in these pages. But more than anything else, she shared her trust in a loving God who was her closest companion and dearest friend.

The good Samaritan story is known and celebrated worldwide by Christians and non-Christians alike. But what if our common understanding of this beloved parable has largely missed the point?In a world hungry for everyday heroes, the feel-good label "good Samaritan" is assigned to individuals who rescue or help people they don't know. Charles Tremblay explains that instead of merely promoting kindness to strangers, this famous story actually teaches mercy for our enemies. This is the more radical moral principle at the heart of Christianity, a principle sadly in short supply in our increasingly vindictive culture.The Heart of the Samaritan also examines the deep Christian typology underlying the short passage from Luke's gospel. Early church fathers taught this story from the framework of analogy, and this interpretation persisted for more than a thousand years before seeming to fall out of fashion by the mid-nineteenth century.What does Luke's good Samaritan reveal about mankind, Christ, the church, and more? The Heart of the Samaritan is a fresh look at a story you thought you already knew!

Every chapter in this book contains a miracle. The stories are true. They were written for the sole purpose of revealing God's goodness in this day. Most of us don't even know He wants to spend time with us. He met Adam daily in the garden, just to hang out with the man He created. He is love and wanted to love, communicate, and have little private jokes with us. Yes, He's funny sometimes. He has a great sense of humor. It gives Him pleasure to hear us laugh and be joyful. No one is an exception. He wants to be with every person in the world. He's gentle and won't force Himself on us. He didn't want a race of puppets to carry out His wishes. He doesn't need us. He is able to do everything He wants all by Himself. We obey Him simply because we love Him, and trust His desire toward us is only good.I've learned how He heals, saves, and delivers here and now by many encounters with Him. I promised to tell everyone who will listen about His miracles in my life. He wants everyone who reads this book to get to know Him. It's easy to do. Sit quietly all by yourself where you'll be comfortable. Ask Him to come and be with you and to show you how real He is. Stay still and wait. When your attitude is right, He'll come. Do this as often as necessary until the day He comes, because He will. When you sense His presence, you will be amazed by His glory. You will know for yourself how wonderful He is, the mighty God, able to do all things well in your life, even more than you could ever ask or think.

Emotional Intelligence Life Skills is designed with the educator, counselor, therapist, parent, youth minister, and younger generation in mind. This book begins by introducing the reader to the importance of understanding the brain and the way it affects behavior. It also stresses the importance of teaching young people how the brain can grow and learn through neurons. Additionally, this book explores mindfulness and encourages the adult to teach and practice mindfulness techniques and scripture meditation with the young person(s). This resource is equipped with opening statements that are to be used for the individual or group settings. A list of rules that identify how to work on the coping skills, social skills, and behavior skills daily is provided. There are questions within the activities to engage the individuals as well as follow-up questions to evaluate how well the individual has learned the information. If the individual has not grasped the content adequately, there are enough activities to allow continued expansion on the topic on different days. The discussion engages the young person from the age of five up through the age of twenty-three.Included in this book is an outlined dialogue that can be used to communicate with parents to assist the young person and parent. Many times children are taught skills to assist them in being successful in life, but when they go home, they are exposed to a different standard of being. This can hinder growth. Therefore, this book makes sure that the information being taught to the young person is reinforced by the parent through what their role is in growth and development for each topic. The hope for this workbook is to assist even the least creative educator, therapist, counselor, parent, and youth minister in effectively reaching out and making an impact in the minds and lives of the younger generations.

Memoir To My Children: How I Got Over is a portrait of one woman's true story detailing her unwavering spirit of perseverance, known to be embedded in her by God. Janet Harrison can attest that life does indeed feature many challenges. Throughout a lifetime of struggles, her resilient faith in God would allow her to handle many of life's hardcore situations. As you will come to find within these pages, there are a great many of them. With the staunch believe that God never gives us more than we can handle, Janet persevered. Often she recites Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me. "Knowing that she cannot do anything without the help of her maker, Jesus Christ, she carried with her great confidence that she would persevere through any and all of life's trials and tribulations. Special emphasize on the word "all" is very significant in that passage. "No matter the circumstances, I have that confidence in My God to strengthen me through them. So with each setback, I am so confident that those failures are never final. My God has the final say in my life."Janet lives every day by the phrase "Faith It, Until You Make It." Yes, it took having a personal relationship with Jesus to conquer so many of the hurdles she confronted. And with her enduring faith, now in her golden age, she carries not a single worry about the future, because as Janet states, "I know My God's got Me."We do hope this book will inspire you to put complete confidence in God, knowing that he will keep his promises. Oh Yes, he will take care of you! We do hope you will not only enjoy the read, but your faith in trusting God will be taken to a higher level.Facebook: janetharrisonauthor Instagram: janetharrisonauthor Website: janetharrisonauthor.com

The manuscript of God's "Good Morning" is just what the subtitle claims. It is a retelling of my spiritual journey raising an autistic son who is now fifty-four years old. Our son lives at home with his parents and will do so until my husband Greg and I become incapable of parenting him due to old age or our passing at which time, our son will live with his sister. Thus, this relationship is a lifelong commitment. This manuscript is a story of the growth of faith, hope, and love. My intention of writing such a manuscript is that of my desire to share with other parents of a special needs child my experiences dealing with this daunting challenge. This is not a clinical manuscript, but rather a manuscript of personal growth from shock, despair, and discouragement to acceptance, peace, and joy and reveals the miraculous healing of my broken spirit. Although this manuscript is written for parents of special needs children, it would also be found inspiring by a general audience of readers.

Embark on this journey through the territory of Minnesotato 1856, Duluth, with Emma Withers, an eighteen-year-oldorphan who decides that the Lord wants her to move on fromlife as she's known it. She had been blessed with parents whotaught her about the Bible and seems to have a good grip onlife, but there's so much more to learn about herself and thosearound her and the effects that forgiveness has had in their lives.Watch her grow as she interacts with the O'Connors familyand especially the ideal young Mr. O'Connors, who would beso much more than a friend to her, should she choose to accepthim. But something is holding her back from developing anydeeper connection; and just maybe, it's the fact that the Lord hasa bigger mission in mind for her that only Francois Belcourt, aFrench-Ojibwe outcast and rebel, can help her to fulfill.In the end, will the unlikely duo together overcome danger andforbid, in Jesus's name, the demons of resentment? Or will theyfail to forgive and cause those close to them to fall away into thehands of a just God and eternal punishment?

The kingdom of God consists of "righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:7 NASB). Those who enter must "come like a child" (Matthew 19:14). How did children respond to Jesus when He walked on the earth? They ran to greet Him with pure joy, played in His presence, and reveled in His love. They had no complicated theological questions to ask. They just enjoyed His company, responded to His words of love, and knew with simple childlike trust that it would always be good to be with Him. Jesus said, "The kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (Matthew 19:14).It is so simple to relate to Jesus in this way. Who complicated it? Ecclesiastes 7:29 (Good News Translation) says, "God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated." Paul expressed concern over the believers in 2 Corinthians 11:3, stating that their minds "might be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ." Your spiritual walk is about your relationship with Jesus Christ, pure and simple. Do you love Him? Do you obey Him? Is He your first love? Do you always return to Him, asking for forgiveness when you mess up? It's really that simple.These poems are about a relationship. Some are personal experiences; others chronicle universal themes. It is my hope that they will lead you into a closer walk with Jesus so that you too can express your relationship with God as I did in God and Me: Poetry.With love,Ann

For generations, many questions concerning life has eluded mankind. People have contemplated many of these questions and speculated on the true answers.Two questions that, no matter where you originate from or live on this planet, are by far the most intriguing to answer. The existence of a being with supernatural powers and the meaning of life are not the simplest questions to answer. Neither can be explained scientifically with a true answer.Many people believe that we, mankind, are the creation of God--a supernatural entity that has an intelligent purpose in creating us. That intelligent purpose is the meaning of life.If God exists and has an intelligent purpose in creating us, do we really know what this purpose is? And if so, do we find it meaningful in our lives?On the other hand, if God doesn't exist, the meaning of life can only be meaningless. Considering there have been endless numbers of wars, crimes, discriminations, mistreatment, accidents, diseases, and numerous other misfortunes that have affected human life, we naturally ask, "Why do these things happen? And if God exists, why would he let them happen?" A compelling thought to contemplate.A true answer about God and life is presented in the information provided throughout this book. The existence of God and his purpose in creating mankind is a true value for you to know. This book will guide you to the meaning of life and an understanding to your purpose as God's creation.

My name is Bruce Crane, and to see one's world turned upside down, in a very short time, is enough to bring anyone to their knees.Where do I start to describe how it all happened?I guess I should start in the courtroom, where this particular trial took place. Following the witnesses' testimony, the prosecutor asked each of defendants the same question: "Will you take the mark?"The defendants' response will move the scales of justice and determine for each of them their fate. But more than that, it caused a few houses to be divided against themselves. For it goes beyond this courtroom; it will affect everyday life.Then the prosecuting attorney said, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury--"*****Come and read as I tell you about these events and beyond. This is not a once-upon-a-time story. It is a compelling, edge-of-your-seat, roller-coaster ride. Hang on!In The Final Argument, it will become clear!

God is able to turn things around for His children. No matter what situation you find yourself in life, in your family, or outside the family, God can turn it around for the better. In this case, the author went through a lot of difficulty. She held on and stood her grounds and God gave her victory. Today, she can look back at the path where the good Lord has taken her and give a big thank-you to Almighty God for all His goodness and loving-kindness toward her.To the readers, do not give up. It may seem the Lord is not aware of your suffering, but He knows everything. In due season, He will hear your cry. There is no mountain too high that He will not go through with you. There is no valley too deep that He will not go deeper with you.

God is to be worshipped. I knew that, but I did not know how. I asked the Lord one day how He wanted me to worship Him, and He gave me Worship Songs. Every day, we would meet, and He would give me a song--sometimes two, sometimes more. It was amazing how the Holy Spirit was speaking, and as He was speaking, I was writing His every word. The Lord gave me two hundred songs.Not only did God want me to hear and sing these songs but He wanted His words manifested in my life. Worship Songs are songs conveying God's love and plan for me while processing, delivering, and teaching me how to trust, to worship, to praise, and to thank Him, in every situation. They are songs of my surrendering, my releasing all care, my humbling myself, and my giving all place to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.Worship Songs are songs of my getting to know Who the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are. They are songs that we are singing to one another--God's heart to my heart, my heart to God's heart, with God bringing out of my heart words that I did not know were there.Writing Worship Songs allowed me to experience God's comfort, care, encouragement, assurance, mercy, and grace, like never before. He lifted me and lifted me and lifted me up, with His presence, with His Word, with His Spirit, with His worship songs, with everything He knew I needed. He worked a wonderful work in me.Worship Songs are divine messages, commitments, promises, direction, and purpose. These songs are God-breathed, rooted, and grounded in love, set apart to bring about change in my life and the lives of readers.
