All women and men of faith, whether they realize it or not, exist inside a paradox. Each night they pray to a God who they know to be in control of all things and perfectly good. It would not be unreasonable to fall asleep with the hope the night would bring no further blight upon His creation. Yet each morning they wake to find evil's scars anew. Once again, the paradox of pain has reared its ugly head. Is there a way to bring understanding to this paradox? Join the author and travel the only route possible. Traversing as through a maze, we will confront eight seemingly unsolvable quandaries that suffering presents. The path these problems force us upon will become our guide to uncovering God's purpose in allowing pain. And when we emerge from the maze, God's goodness will be fully vindicated as well as His wisdom in directing us to the sure refuge of faith when suffering becomes our portion. The author has spent the last 40 plus years in the medical field working as an intern, medical resident and then private practice as an internist. Paralleling this career has been a longstanding interest in the problem of suffering which was sparked by reading When Bad Things Happen to Good People, by Harold Kushner. Being neither a philosopher or theologian has allowed the author to discover certain truths previously unrecognized. He presently resides in New York City with his wife, daughter, a Himalayan and two new knees.

In her book, "How You Can Receive Miracles Through Prayer and Intercession", Susan Sanchez gives keys for prayer to Christians to pray more effectively and confidently. The manuscript serves as a powerful tool for encouraging readers to believe that miracles can and will happen through the power of prayer. You will be inspired by her testimony as she shares the miracles God has performed in her life. Susan Sanchez says: "I hope that this book will unlock your desire and passion for miracles while strengthening your fellowship and relationship with the Holy Spirit. This book will bring you to a new level of faith and a new level of prayer and trust in God. Intimate fellowship with the Master (Jesus) must be the priority in our lives and God must be first and His Word final authority. Cultivating an intimate relationship with the Master is vital to get to know Him as He knows you, hearing His voice daily, and being led by Him. This is a prerequisite to receiving miracles, answers from God, and fulfilling your destiny. As a godly woman, I believe that leaving a legacy of prayer and faith is one of the greatest blessings and gifts you can pass on to your children and your children's children. Proverbs 13:22 says, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." When we choose to live as God commands in His Word and live according to this standard, we pass godliness, spiritual wealth, and wisdom to the succeeding generations."

In the beginning... This short phrase speaks volumes to those who hear it. These are the three powerful words that start the Bible, and introduce all of time and creation. They imply fresh starts, histories, and stories, of which the Bible is filled. In author Stephen D. Sears's In the Beginning - A Consideration of Genesis, readers are taken on a transformative journey back to the astounding start of it all, including time itself. These pages provide refreshing, new perspective and interpretation on everything in Genesis - including the big stories, but also the book's minor characters and "smaller" stories too. Most importantly, Sears examines the ever-present, all-important God-human relationship, shedding new light on who we are in relation to God's great plan and will for us. Sears takes a deep dive into Genesis, a book where it is not hard to find things that bother or challenge us, and cause us to reflect on our human nature. The characters do peculiar or ungodly things. There is a lot about families, and these families are usually in deep conflict. First begun as a passion project inspired by the author's re-visitation of Genesis in adulthood, this book is designed to interest readers of all the largest religions, and for any general reader simply interested in knowing the Bible better. The author's hope is that readers will be inspired to go back and read the huge, undiscovered land that is the book of Genesis for themselves, and experience it in all its glory!

Ann Haskin was born in a three-room shack in the backwoods of Alabama. Her father died when she was two. Her mother was abusive and neglectful, leaving the hungry children to fend for themselves as they searched for food. This continued until the children were rescued by the police and escorted to their aunt's cotton farm. There, they picked cotton all day in the hot, humid sun. Shortly thereafter, the children were returned to their mother who, after moving a stranger into the house, fled to California with him and the children. They would watch in horror as this man would beat their mother, at times leaving her for dead. Ann's life demonstrates the power of God, which transformed a shattered childhood into a life of purpose and meaning. This is a story of hope, faith, and forgiveness and how she found joy and peace in His promises. Ann Haskin grew up in California and recently moved to Oklahoma to be near her family. She has been involved in Calvary Chapel churches since the 1970s and has served in many ministries over the last thirty-two years.

What if you are afraid to be free? You feel pulled to the unknown yet taking that first step into what appears to be darkness, keeps your feet planted firmly in what is known. What is it that calls to you from uncharted territory? Who is it? In a rush to what is familiar, you become attached yet again, to another thread. Each thread represents one year, a belief, an identity, a persona, trauma, and successes. Imagine...every concept you thought to be true, begins to erase itself. Where would that leave you? Each thread of your life carries identity. When your perceived identity becomes unraveled, what would be left staring back at you in the mirror? Unraveled reveals what is left and if nothing else is left to unravel perhaps, this is when you reach peak freedom. The elimination of the full picture yields space for someone new to be revealed. What's left is uncharted territory. Will you be curious to dive into the uncharted?"--

Though Christians have the promise of eternal life with Christ, as the hour of death approaches, there are still the standard human emotions that must be dealt with such as: denial, anger, bargaining and depression before individuals can come to acceptance. Happiness being fleeting, eternal joy is the prize we seek and our hope for tomorrow should never be diminished by the pains of today. Christians are to let heaven be their focus for where one is looking is where they are going. By God we are loved, purchased and destined to a greater existence. Sheep respond to the voice of only their shepherd and because they have faith and trust in their shepherd they are made safe and secure. Remember the glory we receive in heaven is too great to even be compared to what we are experiencing here on earth. This book is designed to state and restate the promises the Scriptures provide to us about our death. The more we read, and reread the more fixed in our minds the promises will be. The more certain of these promises the more peace we shall have at the time of our death. Many read this book over and over. James P. Elslager: is a retired Mechanical Engineer born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1945. Jim began attending church with his mother at age 10. Presently Jim's wife Judy and he attend First Baptist Church of North Terre Haute. Jim has been a Sunday School teacher for about fifty years and has served in churches as a youth director, elder, deacon, preacher and sometimes a peacemaker. Over the years we have noticed, even strong Christians, waver a bit when death is approaching. We've not experienced death before and we know it will take some adjustment, but fear can be diminished or laid to rest by putting your hand in the hand of the man. It is our hope and prayer that this book is helpful to you by recalling and recalling God's promises to us. May God bless you and guide you as you read, prayer will help.

Saved and unsaved alike, we were all born with a sinful nature, and we are all in need of a savior. God is aware of our propensity to sin while living in our fleshly bodies, but our defensive and materialistic nature often blinds us to the love and forgiveness that He readily offers, and instead, we find ourselves in a spiritual desert, searching for water to quench our thirst. After God's Own Heart by Samantha P. Meade is a collection of biblically inspired poems that touch on the various experiences of a prodigal son or daughter in a spiritual wilderness and the lessons learned through confession, repentance, and the grace, mercy, and forgiveness of God. Meade speaks both to herself and to readers within her poems, sharing a stream of consciousness that uncovers faith-based truths and the struggles Christians may face when creating a deeper relationship with Christ. God knows the acts of obedience and disobedience that we will perform before we ever carry them out, and His Word assures us that even when we make a decision not to obey Him, His love for us never changes and never comes to an end. He is forever ready and waiting for us to confess our sins to Him, turn away from those sinful habits, and ask for forgiveness. His desire is not that we live lives of perfection, but that in this life, we continuously position our hearts to remain in pursuit of His glory that leads to total victory in Christ Jesus.

In the United States alone, there are over 41 million people who are serving in unpaid caregiver roles for an elderly relative. Taking on this role, while also balancing the various aspects of day-to-day life, can be exhausting and overwhelming. In this book, author Robyn Horn shares her experiences as both a caregiver and caregiver educator and focuses on how caregivers can find peace and purpose in what can often be a very challenging role. Transforming the Mundane into Sacred: Spirituality in Caregiving for the Elderly by Robyn Horn is an inspiring book in which the author shares her journey to finding spiritual purpose and fulfillment in caring for the elderly and their caregivers. Throughout the book, she is a clear and effective communicator, drawing readers into the narrative with ease, as she delves deep into this important topic for family and professional caregivers who are seeking biblical and godly guidance as they care for this beloved generation. Sitting on a bench at a silent retreat, Robyn prayed about how she could use her God-given gifts to assist families who are caring for the elderly. Spirituality has played such an important role in both her family caregiving experiences and her professional career. In that moment, she asked God for specific ways she could share her spiritual caregiving journey with others and reveal how He had equipped her every step of the way. How did God answer her prayer that day in His soft and gentle voice? "Write a book." And so, she did! Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12:2 NIV). Robyn Horn has a master's degree in Gerontology from the University of North Texas as well as an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Southwestern University. Robyn has spent most of her adult life advocating for and assisting the elderly and their family caregivers.

Robyn has facilitated several caregiver support groups in both facility and community settings. As a caregiver herself for multiple elderly family members, she has drawn on her Christian faith to help her and others through this sacred journey.

In a vision, James saw a group of people fervently travailing in prayer. They were weeping and crying out with loud voices. It looked like something good and righteous, but in this case it was coming from a religious spirit. James heard the Lord saying, "Many of my people are not praying correctly. They are begging me to do what I have already promised to do. There is no faith in a prayer like this. Teach them to pray differently. Teach them to find my promises, accept them by faith, and then activate them in their lives and ministries." In this text, the secret key will be clearly revealed to you. You will then be given very specific steps for you to receive and activate all the promises of the Lord. All of these wonderful promises and spiritual blessings are gifts from the Lord available to you right now.

People are difficult and relationships are hard. Mistakes can be life lessons or catastrophic events which change a person forever. Humanity in itself is a broken system. People want to be loved, accepted, and forgiven. We all need love and support. We all need a place to call home. The mind will search to quench a thirst that cannot find a drink. Is there a hope for this broken life? There is hope, he is a person, his name is Jesus. He knows everything about you; he will forgive you and redeem you. There is nothing in life too disappointing, awful, or frightening for him. As you turn the pages of this book, you will read stories of Jesus. You will see him move in a life no different than yours. There is hope. Six years ago as I struggled through a variety of issues, I realized I needed a lot of intervention. I had developed habits that were unhealthy. I was frustrated and angry. My fight with rejection was real. I needed the truth. I turned to the Lord because he is the only person I knew understood my innermost thoughts. A journaling process led to a deeper relationship with God. I began to take every situation to him. I shared what I was learning in our life group. One of my friends suggested that my journals should become a book. It was a six year process. My name is Mychelle Simms. I live a simple life. I am a wife, mom, teacher, sister, and friend. I love the people in my life. My hope is this book will find its way into the hands of those who need love.
