I am not a medical doctor, dentist, or scientist.I am a woman who suffered for fourteen years, bedridden and living day to day with a chronic and devastating illness, chronic fatigue syndrome.I have no idea what you have been told by the medical field about this illness. I know for myself the most frightful and devastating answers I received from the medical profession were there is not a cure, and they have not discovered any drugs to eliminate the symptoms.There is hope!I no longer suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. After reading my book, you will be aware of my shocking discovery that will enable you to lay the stepping-stones on your path to wellness, as well as your loved ones who are currently suffering from autoimmune diseases.

This book distills twenty-five-plus years of personal study done by a Harvard Law-trained trial attorney to determine whether Darwin's big idea-the notion that more complex species evolved from more simple ancestors-is supported by the scientific evidence. Spoiler alert: it is not. Yet most Americans have been taught to believe that Darwin's theory has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt. Sadly, most people do not have nearly enough time to do the reading and study necessary to understand that this belief is false.This book changes all that. It is unique in that it presents technical information from more than a dozen important books in a form that is both brief and easily understood. Readers can learn a series of decisive truths about Darwin's big idea in just a few hours...truths that may well take them completely by surprise.

When I thought of the title Pain in the Butt, I meant it figuratively, since I do not even have sensation there! As I have shared my title with people through the years, the reaction is always a laugh, as I had hoped to invoke humor. I wrote it with that in mind. I hope once you read my book, you will see despite the turn my life took on that, fateful day in December, I not only survived the tragedy but went on to live an exuberant and joyful life, "Joie de Vivre."

The Time Is Fulfilled, End-Time Prophecy Has Already Started to HappenHere's What's Coming NextDennis Callen had a visitation twice by the presence of the Lord a few years ago, very early in the morning. At that time, the Lord revealed the correct and current interpretation of end-time prophecy, much of which is not the same as is taught today.Here is what you will find in the book:The book of Daniel is all about Israel and the tribulation.The book of Revelation and the book of Daniel take place concurrently.The seven seals of Revelation have all been opened already.What started the seventy weeks of prophecy in the book of Daniel and what caused there to be gaps in them.Daniel's seventieth week is so close to starting, that it may have already started by the time you read this book.The Jewish Rabbis have already dedicated the altar and done a dress rehearsal for the daily sacrifices.End-time prophecy reveals that two-thirds of the world's populations will die because of natural disasters and possibly a nuclear war.And much, much more!Of all the books brother Callen has written, this book was the most unique for him in that, he says, it was like taking dictation from the Holy Spirit and not just writing it from his own understanding, research, or opinion. This is one book that will bring the reader up-to-date with current events as the end-time prophecy has recently played out and will show you the exact day the tribulation will start, for the time is at hand. This book is Not a repeat of what has already been written by other writers. In fact, you will find it to be completely different."Five out of five stars scripturally accurate and easy to read and understand" (Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019).Most end-time prophecy books I have read all say the same things. A lot of them are private interpretations, which 2 Peter 1:20 says we should stay away from. This book uses scripture to interpret scripture. I have never read anything like this before. It all makes biblical sense to me. I can see how the seals have been opened already. The results of the seals are on the television news almost every day.The Bible says we are to be simple concerning evil (Romans 16:19). So if the book of Revelation is about the tribulation only and all the evil that would take place after we are gone, then this would violate Romans 16:19. However, the book of Revelation is first about setting the stage for the move of God in the greatest revival the world has ever seen, plus the coming wrath of God found in Revelation chapter 16.I don't know of any other book that is as accurate and exciting to read as this book. You can tell it has the same feel as reading the Bible. Every Christian needs to read this book. I highly recommend it.The book of revelation is taken verse by verse with a clear, easy-to-understand explanation.Of all the books that are out there, this is the only one I recommend highly.

Building a Culture of Life takes the reader on a journey to understand the complexities that have lead us to the modern era choices on such diverse topics as contraception, abortion, in vitro fertilization, cloning, stem cell research, genetic engineering, euthanasia, and assisted suicide.Beginning in antiquity, we note that people have both celebrated new babies and killed them, typically because of physical defects or female gender. All manner of toxic substances have also been used to prevent pregnancy and abort an unwanted pregnancy. As unsettling as these practices sound in the modern era, most of the changes over time are one of technology.In order to understand what follows, the reader is then introduced to eugenics, racism, and genocide, attitudes that degrade respect for life and the dignity of individuals. From there, the lives of Margaret Sanger and Norma McCorvey prepare the reader for an in depth discussion of why women seek abortion and how abortion is publicly funded.A discussion of prevention and termination of unwanted pregnancies takes us far beyond contraception and abortion. It leads us also to discuss abortion survivors, human sex trafficking, rape, incest, neonaticide, and infanticide.Modern technology has also offered in vitro fertilization, stem cell research, and genetic engineering; society also discusses human cloning, euthanasia and assisted suicide.All these topics are treated with a minimum of technical detail so that the impact on respect for the life and dignity of individuals is emphasized while we find a path to the future that preserves both.In conclusion, there is a discussion of resources available to those women who find themselves in desperate and untenable situations that make them consider abortion as their only option. State controlled community resources, charitable pregnancy resource centers, and healing after such traumas as rape, incest, and abortion give us hope for "building a culture of life."

This book and the scriptures used show that God is not willing that any person should perish but that all should come to repentance (11 Peter 3:9) and that Jesus paid for all sins for all people for salvation purposes; that is, to be born into God's family as newborn babies. After being born again and by believing the scriptures we've used in this book, you will be on the road to growth from babyhood toward maturity in Christ. The scriptures used in this book will especially help the average church member and the Sunday school teacher in their journey to be like Jesus.May God bless you in your efforts.

In 2005 and again in 2014, my husband Will and I found ourselves reeling from unimaginable tragedies that would take the life of my mother, as well as the lives of Will's mother and father. It was the stuff of movies, nightmares, and prime-time news stories, things we never imagined could happen in our families.Our faith was put to the test. How could God allow these things to happen? Did he care? These events led to many years and sleepless nights spent wrestling with God and wondering where he was in the midst of our pain. We did indeed find him; he had been right there with us in our suffering all along, pointing us to the hope of heaven.

What happens to an innocent gecko who takes up residence in a warm kitchen? She has adventures, and this is just one of many.

Often, Christians and as non-Christians suffer difficulties and hardships. The severity of different types of attacks may leave the person with feelings of defeat or heartbreak. Tragic situations that are long-lasting may cause someone to give up. At that time, we forget who God is and the power of His Word to sustain and deliver us. God stands waiting for us to come to Him. He is waiting to fulfill a promise: "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you" (James 4:8).During times of depression and oppression, if you can see whatever your situation or calamity is from a different perspective, a ray of hope may be found. Try not to forget what the Word of God says, "And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).It appears that not many things are accomplished in life without some rigor. Convictions may grow deeper toward following and pleasing the Lord. Depending on God increases confidence in God's unfailing power to save and to set free. It can cause a person to develop greater confidence in himself or herself. Also, seeing what God has done in someone's life inspires others who observe the steadfastness of your stand for the Lord, and they could become believers in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Knowing God and seeing what He will do and can do will give you a clearer vision of how much He loves you and cares for you. Whenever you are confronted with a problem, let the Word of God come alive within you, and remember that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).Live life fully, and when obstacles beset your path, consider it as only one of life's stepping-stones.

Shortly after joining a new company, Aaron began writing weekly emails to his team. On Monday, July 21, 2014, he sent his first "Monday MO." It was short:Care more than others think is wise.Risk more than others think is safe.Dream more than others think is practical.Expect more than others think is possible.Set excellence as your standard.Aaron received tremendous feedback that these weekly Monday MOs (or Monday Motivations) were valuable. People craved someone who cared about them personally, acknowledged them, and respected them. They wanted to authentically be encouraged to learn, grow, improve and be supported. People desperately longed for a jolt of positivity and motivation each week. Time progressed, and the influence of the Monday MO grew. Colleagues outside of Aaron's organization wanted to be included in his distribution. He was also asked to include spouses, parents, children, and friends. MOs were forwarded to others outside of the company, who then asked to be included. The audience soon became quite large and diverse.The Monday MOs were based on topics relevant to the times-something Aaron may have recently read or on a subject matter someone wanted him to write about. He selected the ones that have stood out the most and has organized them by theme. The final product is the book before you.Unlike many books that are meant to be read from start to finish, this book may be read in any order. Pick a topic and read as many as you find beneficial. Some may resonate more than others, but the hope is that you find many that interest and inspire you. This book is for you if you are a curious person who wishes to stretch your mind and get exposure to new perspectives. Now go read a MO!

Far too many people believe Heaven is an uninteresting, boring place. They imagine angels lounging on clouds, lazily strumming on harps. Unfortunately, this is how Heaven is often depicted to children. As Revelation 21:4 states, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." It is impossible for Heaven to be boring; it is the opposite of boring. In Heaven, there will be perfect peace that passes all understanding, perfect hope that brings full contentment, perfect joy that brings true happiness, and perfect love that is forever. This book is intended to help children better understand the wonder and glory of Heaven!

He could see she was different; she responded to sound so differently from her brother and sister. What could he do to understand her experience and enable her to have a normalized life experience? One day with hands over her ears, face down, walking on tippy-toes, "Daddy noisy" came out, and that's when the understanding began.

In all likelihood, most of us wonder about the end of life here, how to be ready when it comes, and what the future holds. We hear all sorts of answers from many sources, from wild to probable. Many people believe that heaven is a place where all the good go after we die, so "You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry," and that heaven is everlasting and to be much preferred over the alternative-hell.Consider this question: What seems to have been God's primary purpose for heaven? One answer would be that He wants to populate it with human beings who are most like His Son, Jesus Christ. But how could that be accomplished?My thoughts on the broad subject of death come from knowing Jesus and walking with Him for about seventy-eight years. I came to know Him as a child, having heard His call upon my life. Our conversations along the way led me to give Him my best in training my mind and heart, in practical service through several open doors, through marriage and family, through struggles and accomplishments, through many sorrows and sicknesses, and through years of disability and retirement. Like old Apostle John who learned so much from the Risen Lord in his long life, I believe that He has laid some things upon my heart that must be shared. Hence, this book.Here, you will find insights that may correct things you've always believed, give help with understanding, or learn approaches that you never considered, pricks of conscience, or just delightful affirmations.

Son of a Sandstorm is a memoir about the early life of Raymond Burrus. When his daughter went away to college, they agreed to write to each other each week. As the letters progressed, he used his journals from his travels and started writing her his life story up to age twenty-seven. Those eighty letters became the genesis for this book.Raymond served four years as an officer in the army. Upon his return from Vietnam, he decided to see more of the world, so he bought a one-way ticket to Frankfurt and traveled in twenty-seven countries in Europe and thirteen countries in Africa. He took a boat from Barcelona to Alexandria, Egypt, and then traveled overland to Cape Town, the length of Africa. He did all this travel over eighteen months and spent less than seven thousand dollars. He learned that there's an inverse relationship between time and money: if you need to be in Paris tomorrow for breakfast, you can do it, but it will cost you plenty; on the other hand, if you have infinite time to get to Paris, you can probably get there for free.He gained many insights about life, travel, and the people he met along the way, which he shares in the book.

While Jesus was on this earth, many people had personal contact with Him. They spent time walking, talking, eating, and observing His interaction with the multitudes of Palestinians. Many were healed, some were forgiven, and most were blessed with His parables. Of these, all were touched in a particular or unique way. Their reactions varied--some with love and appreciation and some with resistance and resentment. This book takes you into the possible thoughts, words, and actions of eighteen different individuals who had contact with Jesus Christ. Some of these people were mentioned in the Bible only briefly, and some were not even given names. In order to tell their stories, I have added names and some possible backgrounds. Occasionally, scenarios and events (not stated in Holy Scripture) were taken from various historians. In no place is there a contradiction to the Bible. Each chapter is the telling of his or her own story. At the end of each story, they tell you, the reader, how their lives were changed.

In the late 1800s, a small barrier island was located off the coast of Louisiana and was a popular resort for the socialites or New Orleans and surrounding areas. Dave Morgan saw Isle Demieres as his chance for a better life and his escape from the city where he lived with Mrs. Buckley near the red-light district of New Orleans. Dave's carefully planned trip happened to be the same weekend of the deadliest storm to ever hit the coast. Drawing from documents, letters, and newspaper accounts, Ms. Trimm has written a powerful narrative of compassion and survival.
