In this book, we acknowledge God's plan for mankind is not wrath but salvation in Christ Jesus. We will look at many attributes that must be found in a child of God. These include righteousness, holiness, redemption, praying, glorifying God, forgiveness, truth, and obedience. We consider the one item that can keep us from heaven--sin. We all sin, but the good news is that when sin increases, the grace of God abounds all the more. The Bible informs us hell was not made for mankind. We will look at grace, your account in heaven, the rapture, and the second coming. We will ask you to consider where you currently stand in relation to these topics and ask if your name is included in the Book of Life. We plan to meet you in the air at the rapture.

The purpose of The Spiritual Self-Assessment Interview is for individuals to take a deeper look at their spiritual relationship with God and evaluate themselves on how well they are living out what they profess. This first-of-its-kind book will encourage you and provide you with a tool to help measure areas that can be improved upon. It will also give you a sense of accomplishment as you will vividly see areas where you have done well. This is a fresh perspective to challenge the way we think in our current culture. We are evaluated at our place of work and given a ninety-day review, a midyear review, and an annual review.

If we are willing to challenge ourselves to do better due to the critique of man, how much more should we be willing to do whatever it takes to improve ourselves for our God?

My sister Altagracia Marta Casado had ovarian cancer. Members of the church were called to come and pray for her. They said she had cancer because she was possessed by a demon. Their idea of prayer was to point a finger at her while yelling at her, telling the demon to come out. When she passed away, they said she died because she had no faith. The horrible spiritual crimes committed against the children of God by pastors and preachers is what you will find in this book. You will also find the sad story of a group of homosexuals who went to church hoping to have an encounter with Jesus. Many have stopped attending church after experiencing spiritual abuse by those who have distorted the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This book is also for pastors and preachers.

God Is Willing is an inspired book that reveals the loving kindness of our Creator. This book helps you become aware of what the spiritual realm is doing for you, and what it is doing to cause calamities in your life. Showing you how to discern the difference between the thoughts that God's kingdom gives and the thoughts that Satan's kingdom gives. Becoming aware of this will help you in your life. Being that we cannot see angels, we need to know the difference between the two types. God has made sure that honorable angels' actions/ways be different from the demons, so that we the people can know them by the thoughts that we are given. It is our thoughts that propel us to do good or bad. There are many treasures that our Creator has left in the land for us, the people, to find, and having this discernment is one of them. This discernment allows you to not automatically accept the thoughts that you have. Once you start learning to reject thoughts that are harmful to you, the honorable angel's thoughts will have a greater hold on you so that you can be released from the harmful thoughts. Honorable angels give us thoughts with feelings attached to them so that we can maintain our goodness. As you read this book, you will see how your thoughts can manipulate you to do things that are non-beneficial; however, utilizing your discernment will counteract these non-beneficial thoughts. Whether a person does God's will or not, they can still have salvation through thy Lord, Jesus.

Four decades ago, a friend of the author remarked that a book should be written in honor of someone they both knew. The indiscreet nickname for this person is Squat. Up to speed on most all facets of life, Squat knew just enough to be dangerous, mainly to himself. When a problem arose, he found a solution, oftentimes causing more harm than good. The two pals quickly brainstormed and came up with a book title. All they needed was substance of some educational and entertainment value to place between covers. Flash ahead forty years. Sadly, the friend is no longer here. Having over six hundred articles, stories, and editorials published by various newspapers and periodicals at his disposal, author Michael Dexter Hankins had more than enough material to finally create such a testament. Going through a short yet lengthy editing process, You Don't Know Squat! came to life as an eclectic mix of 102 humorous and quirky tales. It's also an entertaining plethora of undeniable facts, hyperbole extraordinaire, outlandish thoughts, unsubstantiated information, life adventures, misadventures, irony, oxymoron, gossip, sarcasm, inflammatory opinions, uncalled-for advice, and secret innuendos. Literary scholars and bibliophobes alike will find the contents humorously enlightening.
