Therefore, it is imperative that we study the scriptures and apply them to our lives and finances. In summary, this book looks at wealth and finances from a biblical perspective.

This passion project began after wanting a devotional book that also discussed the daily Christian living and the humanistic struggles that we all face. It is imperative to give people altering perspectives on philosophy to decide what they believe is best to integrate into their own views. We are the paradox of infinitely large specks; there is bound to be a lesser and greater matter than the one before it. Throughout scientific discovery, we have found smaller particles than the generations before us could have ever imagined. The dilemma is the origin, for we assumed a stagnant structure. This is far from the true case, yet knowing that matter cannot be created nor destroyed has been utilized to provide evidence of God or other mysticism concepts.This novel is halfway split between a section of strict devotional Scripture analysis and Scripture interpretation. The interpretations of mankind are introduced to broaden tolerance of views and hopefully bring many closer to Christ.

We all have brokenness in our lives, and as humans, we strive to fix that ourselves while never getting there. Accepting this part of reality is your first step to the healing we all long for.Coming from a divorced family, struggling with PTSD on a daily occurrence, enduring a flawed court system, not to mention a horrible VA experience, John experienced a transformation that helped him overcome all of these issues through Jesus Christ. It was then when the grace of God looked the devil in the eye and said, "No more!"

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.

You don't get a chance to choose circumstances or theoutcome--but you can change your attitude.We all go through bad times, but with God, we can overcome them. Life is hard, and sometimes we make it more difficult. Going through hard times leaves us angry, confused, and feeling defeated, worthless, and a failure. When things happen in your life, and they surely will, they control your mood and emotion and how you cope with life. Tough times don't last forever, but they are never over quickly. We must have patience and endure them. The race is not given to the swift or to the strong but to the one who endures to the end (Eccles. 9:11 KJV). With God's help, I overcame depression, oppression, rape, sexual abuse, and the loss of my mother, daughter, and now my son. My mind and body have been through physical and mental punishment, from a prisoner in a dark place to a bright light at the end of the tunnel--the body takes a licking, but the mind and heart keep on ticking. Serve life as it is a purpose because--guess what--it is. Don't give up or give in if you want to be able to reap your harvest. Victory is yours. Outside looking in, you can't understand it. Inside looking out, you can't explain it.You will win your battle if you hold on. Have faith in your creator. Victory is yours!

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.

I am Schantaa Walton. One of the nicknames that I liked to be called is Shawnee, and I am a mother of three, and I love to give God the glory in all he does.I'm writing this book to encourage people and hear different testimonies on how God brought them out or how big of a blessing it is to put God first and trust him. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony: I've been through a lot of things, but God brought me through every storm, trial, test, and tribulation. My mother said that I was gifted as a little girl, and now that I'm older, I see the gifts God has given me. I hear from God, and he gives me what to say to his people; by me being obedient to his word, things come to pass.We all struggle in life and are ready to throw in the towel. I was ready to throw in the towel numerous times, but God shows up right on time. He knows how much we can bear. Praise him in advance. Don't give up on God because he won't give up on you. Stay encouraged; it's worth the wait if you trust the process. I pray that you get something out of these great testimonies everyone has shared. I did, and it is helping me a lot.Remember no matter what is going on, he will make it all right!

Whether it is planned or not, death is a part of life. Death hurts. It also hurts our Lord. But in His grace and love, He holds you, He guides you, He shields and protects you in the darkest and most uncertain times. This book will show you what God is doing on His end while you are dealing with the loss of your best friend. My prayer is that you will feel the Lord's heart and hands over you during this time. He is ever so protective over you, your heart, mind, and soul. He is feeling your pain too. I pray that this encourages and strengthens you during this time. Thank you for your purchase of our book. Praying many blessings of peace and comfort over you and your family.

Little Big Sis tells my journey coping with the good, the bad, and the ugly of Turner syndrome. It definitely has not been an easy one, but I have learned and grown a great deal from it all. I've learned so much about myself, about God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and also who I truly am in Christ. It has strengthened my relationship with Him and brought me even closer to Him than before. For that I am so grateful. I just take it one day at a time. I cherish each moment I get to spend alone with Him. It is an adventure for me every single time I go out of my house. I have kept a diary over the years, as suggested by several people, of all the different types of comments I receive every time I set foot out of my house and compiled them in my book, along with some of my journey dealing with Turner syndrome. The comments from people who come up to me are about how I look, and some are hilarious, some heart-shattering and hurtful, and others kind and sweet. It is never a dull moment living with Turner syndrome. Do life with God. It may not all be good or go the way you want it to, but He did promise to never leave you, and He is faithful to His word.Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.So we say with confidence,The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? (Hebrews 13:5-6)I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18)

This book was written for both the new churchgoer and the senior churchgoer. It begins with a history of the church and leads into how the church leadership of today operates. This book was written to show that there is no such thing as a perfect church, but there is a church that should be striving toward perfection. This book allows its readers to test their church to ensure that sound Christian doctrine is being taught and put to the test. As stated earlier, there is no perfect church; every church has issues that must be dealt with, and this book covers many of those issues through a firsthand account and gives actions that can help eliminate these troublesome areas. It also deals with what a healthy church looks like and how to get to that point. As the church body, our greatest job is to share the good news of Jesus with everyone that we can. This book includes a chapter on evangelism and easy methods that can be used by individuals and the church as a whole. In summary, this book is about the history of the church and what God intended the church to be and how many times we fall short. The good news is that there is hope for our churches today; we just need our members to be on fire for Jesus and become servant-hearted workers in the church.

Hanging Out with Mark offers a unique forty-day experience of reading, reflecting, and discerning what Mark's messages might mean in today's times. The creative writing by the author includes musings and stories that are based on the author's personal insights and experiences. Each daily verse is accompanied by a carefully selected photograph. All images by the author are inviting and enhance the words inspired by the Scripture and the Holy Spirit wisdom of Mark. The zeitgeist of today's issues of tragedies, divisiveness, hypocrisy, injustice, and grit are not so different from the times of Mark's original words. There are themes of activism, speaking out even when it is not convenient, love, and hope. Throughout the book there are probing questions that are thought-provoking. Even in the gloomy and heart-wrenching topics, the author has the talent to bring out a sense of unassuming delightfulness and joy!

In early April 2021, I was having a conversation with my son Ryan about his friend's business in domain names. On a whim, Ryan said, "Watch this, Dad!" and purchased the domain name ronaldhogrefe.com for me as a present. Having never read a blog and looking for a learning opportunity, I started experimenting with writing a few blog posts. With an upcoming month-long trip, I decided that this would offer an opportunity to practice and, in the process, learn something new.When my wife Cheryl saw what I was doing, she asked me to chronicle our almost thirty-year journey through Alzheimer's. As I began to write and post blogs of the trip, it became apparent that I had a love of writing and an audience for our story. I soon developed a large following, and the blog almost took on a life of its own.The blog has morphed into much more than I ever dreamed. From the comments and feedback received on many posts, it became apparent that I need to try and turn this into a book. Many people battling this disease and being caregivers for them need to know they are not alone. So sit back and follow along as I try to bring to you this story of our journey with Alzheimer's and the love story it has become.

Everyone has a responsibility to make their soul prosper, but what does that even mean and how does one do it? In fact, what exactly is the soul?The Prospering Soul is not only a book. It's an experience and an adventure to prosper the soul of a person!For two years, 3 John 2 circulated in Benjamin Gideon's heart! God was prompting him to embark upon a journey that would help him define the soul, in order to help individuals work toward birthing success from the inside out by applying simple God-prescribed, biblical truths that have stood the test of time. With an oversaturation of self-help, get-rich-quick, and misleading books, The Prospering Soul is far from a prospering gospel! It contains no get-rich-quick schemes! This book is a preliminary roadmap to help prosper the soul. Explore the various methods presented in the book by Pastor Benjamin Gideon.Jesus said it best: "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Life is a journey. There is a process we have to commit to. A journey is how we live and how we treat people and animals along the way. Our God brings people into our lives to change our ways. I was very pessimistic about how I saw cats. There was Jesus wanting to change my heart from bad to good and lean on him.There is no one in our life by accident. Our God had a plan for me to change my character. God placed on my journey a wonderful wife who demonstrated love and compassion for her cats or her babies.The Death of Her Babies is about the unconditional love my wife showed for her babies and how it changed my heart. Each time she lost one of her babies, the tears and prayers expressed during the burial showed me the love she had for her babies during the loss. This action helped me realize that we all will lose a loved one, and we will grieve. I also shed tears and prayed. We held hands, and it changed my heart. Our God will make things work for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28). I am so grateful.

What happens when the old woman tricks the troll? How did the rushing waves learn how to roll? How can a sword prove the words of a mouse, and some pudding threaten an absurd little house? Ten tales reveal the magical rise of enchanted sweet potatoes and blueberry pies, of sparkly bean races up to the moon, and a greedy baker in a golden balloon. Of towers and ladders, of princes and twins, the taradiddles smile and welcome you in.

In the many years that our Lord Jesus Christ has given me, I have served as a businessman, humanitarian, missionary, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. In service to humanity, I spent a season as a councilman, working to improve our city, Crystal River, Florida, where I now call home. As a member of Rotary International, I served as president of one of the local Rotary clubs and later as governor of District 6950 located on the west coast of Florida. In this position, I collaborated with missionaries in Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, overseeing humanitarian projects. For this part of my journey, I received from Rotary International their highest award, "Service above Self."I receive Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of thirty-two, after I was told that I had little time to live because of lung disease. After Bible college, my wife, Linda, and I traveled to Harlingen, Texas, to do mission work in Mexico. During this time, my health returned, and I started the study of the Tabernacle of Moses.After this period, we traveled throughout Texas as an evangelist, and for family reasons, we then moved to Florida. Over the years, I have pastored a church, did evangelistic work, and taught this study at the Revelation School of Ministry.
