Capernaum is a large city located in Galilee and a place where Jesus once lived and taught. The children of Capernaum thought it was the most wonderful place to grow up. But as they entered adulthood, they realized that not only was Capernaum not perfect, but maybe their ideas and beliefs were changing, too. As they learned of Jesus' death and resurrection in Jerusalem, they began to search for answers to their questions. Gradually, we see the New Way impacting their world, but we also see Capernaum changing as more and more Jewish Pharisees moved into the area. The New Way that they had discovered became dangerous and even life-threatening as it stood firmly opposed to the traditional beliefs. Acts is a turbulent time of history and Capernaum's children became adults at a time of great social change. "Searching for Answers in Capernaum" is based in first century Galilee, but is relevant as we contemplate the same questions today. Enjoy the fictional account of how these adults dealt with their changing world."Waiting in Obedience in Capernaum" is the next book in The New Way Series and continues with the characters you'll meet in this book. Watch as their world continues to radically change, and they must determine their response.

A lot of people think that creativity is binary: Either you have it, or you don't. But actually (and science has proved it), all of us have it. It's just a matter of how much we apply it. This extraordinary book explains in detail a special method using 5 uniquely created paintings designed to energize your imagination and ignite your creativity. By applying the 4 steps of the special L-I-V-E visualization technique (Look - Interpret - Visualize - Experience) to these pictures, the imagination becomes a powerful energizer to ignite a person's creativity.This is particularly effective for people who have had difficulty getting started and/or sticking with a plan of action. The most common reason people often fail to reach their goals is they are trying to make outward changes without making any inward changes. In most cases, a genuine inward change must hap-pen first before the outward change can become a lasting reality. The secret to doing that is using the power of the imagination, and this book will teach you how. Whether you are looking to pursue new creative activities or perhaps you want to enhance your already active creativity, this method will help you achieve your goal.
