We embrace the truth of an all-inclusive God and then act as though that God never hit the streets. This is a devotional for those who know better. Hope lives, in all places and at all times.These dialogues are unsettling by design. They are the stories of slumming angels, lost for a time, but able to find their way back. They highlight moments when God pulls up a chair beside those who are most in need.This devotional uses strong language and paints graphic scenes. It offers a point of contact for Christians who rebel against the church that cannot offer itself to all without judgement. It speaks to those whose lives, or the lives of those they love, have been so deeply damaged and scarred.

You will have many times in your life when you need to hang on, but occasionally you will need to buckle up and strap in for the ride. That is no lie. This is the story of my life as a normal (okay, semi-normal) working mom raising a family and then bam! I was hit with major health issues-major as in the Mayo Clinic kind of things. This is the account and play-by-play (I was a coach) of how life can become seriously something you never envisioned and how things happen that you would not wish on your worst enemy. How I was able to do things that I never figured I would have the courage and strength to get through. How God equipped me to face these trials by keeping my head up and walking the walk.You will be able to see the change from a fairly strong woman to someone who now feels she can face anything head-on and not feel the need to drive herself off a cliff. There have been life-changing tests that seemed terrible and overwhelming, but they were things that I now see needed to happen. I saw firsthand that there are angels on earth. We are given people to help us share our journeys with, make each other better. Life is more fun together, and that is how we can live a great story. But most importantly, breathe.

God does not comfort us to make us comfortable; He comforts us to make us comforters! Life is full of hurts and betrayals, especially when you are involved in ministry. Talk to any pastor who has been in ministry long enough and you will discover that they probably have the scars to show for it. Often these hurts and betrayals can lead us deep into the cave of despair which results in ministry becoming misery. That is the story of pastor and author, Scott Distler. In these pages, Distler looks at two heroes of the Old Testament who had similar experiences. Elijah found himself in the cave of despair and Joseph in the pit of betrayal. Using the principles seen in their stories as well as personal lessons learned during his own experience within the cave, Distler offers hope and help to anyone, especially pastors and those in ministry, who have found themselves on the bitter end of hurt and betrayal.

Authentic recipes with origins in the Neapolitan and Abruzzi regions of Italy found their way to southern New Jersey with Italian immigrants settling there around the turn of the twentieth century. The Rodios were among those who established farms, planted their roots in the Jersey soil, and nurtured their families in the New World. This book is not only a legacy of hand-me-down recipes that were perfected over a century or more, but it is also a memoir about a lost era in Americana culinary history. It chronicles a time when food nourished the heart and soul, a time when love inspired family and friends to have impromptu gatherings, and a time when being with loved ones was as important as the food on the table. Arranged by seasons and emphasizing the importance of using fresh produce, the pages unveil a cornucopia of Italian classics, as well as some innovative ideas that will whet the palate. Highlighted are seasonal themes where the readers find themselves embraced within the family circle as they eat and enjoy the Easter bread, fire up the summer grill, slaughter the pigs for the harvest festival, and soak the salt cod for the Christmas Eve Feast of the seven fishes.

Long periods of time doing something one does not enjoy or possess the natural talent for will lead to stress even if one had developed competency in it. Results over time can lead to illness, poor behavior, procrastination, aggression, addiction, and even violence. For parents and teachers, identifying a child''s giftedness is a valuable guide in enabling the child to thrive.For instance, I have frontal right brain strength and a basal left brain weakness. I am creative, a risk-taker, and totally visual. I stack my work in piles. Too much paperwork causes headaches and irritability, so I use the sandwiching technique. I am a strong introvert and enjoy alone time. I read books but seldom listen to talks on tape. I learn by seeing. All this awareness guides me in my life and career and helps me to keep well mentally and emotionally.

This book is a collection of poems that came from my heart. They are spiritual and a variety of eccentric gems, both whimsical and serious in nature. I hope these poems will be both an inspiration and a shelter to you.

Do we really understand the love of God? Are we as a church and, more importantly, as individuals living how Jesus commanded us to live? Could we be living in sin and not even know it? Wouldn''t you want to know if you were? We will be discussing these and other topics while we rediscover God''s love.

I have two sons and a daughter, when they were very young, they came to me one evening and said they would like a bedtime story. As they were putting on their jammies, getting ready for bed, I was thinking of something to relate as a story. When we settled down, I told them a story. It seemed to satisfy. And so off to bed they went. An evening or two went by, and again they told me they would like another story. I had had time to think of one and had it ready. A third evening came along wanting a third story, and it was given. After that they would come and ask for one of the three stories to be repeated. My children are grown now. Two of the three are married and starting families of their own. When the first couple was expecting their first child, my son who is not married asked me if I could write down the bedtime stories, they were told into bedtime stories that could be read to children and grandchildren. And so, a homemade book was put together, and one thing led to another, leading up to For Children: Three Stories from Nature.
