No matter how low, dirty, or downtrodden a person can get, God will always welcome His children back with loving arms. Mary Jacobs was prophesied at a young age that she would do wonderous things in God's name. She was meant to stand on mountaintops and preach His Word to the masses around the world. For years, Mary grew up with her grandmother in a comforting Georgia home full of love, peace, and belief, awaiting the day God's plans for her would come to fruition. Until one day when everything changed in an instant... With the sudden passing of her grandmother, Mary is forced to live with her alcoholic birth mother and her boyfriend. Surrounded by sinful influences, Mary tries to heal and trust that God still has great plans for her, but that trust is broken one fateful day when her mother's boyfriend rapes her. Darkness takes over the light in her soul and she turns away from the God she believed abandoned her. A family friend and a college scholarship help Mary escape her tormentor as she travels to Southern California, but she no longer has the will to make smart choices. After a roller coaster of events and many years of bad decisions, the young woman finds herself in a life-or-death situation. In that moment, she learns that God never left her and His plans for her were only just beginning. Changing Filthy Garments: The Story of Mary Jacobs is a fictional tale of the factual spiritual warfare many of God's children face in life. A raw and emotional story of the highs and lows one young woman faces whose destiny seems to be robbed by a rogue assailant of the enemy, but through much spiritual intersession, she is restored and becomes a light to the nations.
Denisa Harvey shares her riveting story of how she navigated the caregiver role for an unpredictable and difficult to identify brain disease. Countless hard choices were made as she advocated for her husband while facing his confused resistance and even aggressive hostility. This compelling tale will keep you engaged and anxiously wondering how she managed to traverse so many precarious situations with patience and compassion. If the role of caregiver is either waiting for you down the road or you are in the process of adjusting to that new lifestyle; you are not alone and your emotions are not unwarranted. This fascinating book takes the reader through the mysterious and dramatic twists and turns of caring for someone you love but whose degenerative brain disease makes them unrecognizable. Justin Carter, LISW-CP Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years at LifeCare Hospice Walk with author, Denisa L. Harvey through the daunting illness of Frontotemporal Dementia. She was barreling down the road of life with husband Timothy, two children, a great job and a beautiful home in the quaint little town where she grew up. In the eyes of many they had it all. Truthfully, they certainly had all that mattered. However, in the early 2000s strange things began to take a toll on their family dynamics. It would be years of doctor's visits and counseling sessions before the whole picture of their destiny would be revealed. Eventually it was revealed in the form of an odd visitor that almost destroyed their family. Stroll down the road of life with this family who braved the odds in the face of FTD and refused to believe there were no answers. The Harvey family weathered one storm after another almost never knowing what was around the next curve. Denisa Harvey lives in South Carolina with a keen desire to share the lessons she learned through years of caring for Timothy. By sharing the difficult, times Denisa hopes to let fellow caregivers know they are not alone. In sharing Denisa weaves a tale of strength especially for caregivers who have sacrificed careers, retirement accounts and a life of normalcy to care for their loved one. These caregivers are members of a silent, reluctant army who march on without training and often without resources. They are your church members, your neighbors down the street and the people you work with day in and day out. "FTD, The Mime No One Invited to Dinner" can be used as an effective tool in facilitating caregiver support groups of any size. Denisa hopes to meet with support groups when possible and is available upon request, depending on location and availability.
God matters. That is the first and most important message you need to know about the book you hold in your hands. Secondly, you need to know that this is not your "garden variety" commentary on the Bible's book of Genesis. Nope, not at all. Though it may be written by your standard-model Southwestern American male (and Bible teacher of the past twenty-seven years), it's scope is far more focused and "ordinary" compared to most other "Bible books" you're going to find out there, or in any Christian bookstore. In his offbeat, unconventional, and conversational book, GENESIS MATTERS, author Michael L. Brunner reaches his steak-grilling, tennis-playing arms far out there, in hopes of grabbing readers who probably don't often go to church, don't have a biblical or religious background, and who strongly doubt if God can matter in their lives. Filled with witty stories, humor, and illustrations, this book seeks not to be "churchy, prim, or proper," but to be open-minded and enhance the views of all readers, especially those ordinary folks out there, like the author, who may not believe that God and Genesis have any relevance in their lives today, much less that God actually cares about them. Chock full of examples and applications current and relative to our "real-time" lives, it's designed to provide readers with insight on why the book of Genesis is relevant right now, and how it proves God's work in our lives matters as well. Michael was born in Austin, Texas and spent all his youth growing up in the Texas Hill Country. After graduating from college with a degree in business, Michael became an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Once his tour of duty was completed, he found his way back to Texas, and began his business career in Houston. While there, he met his wife Stephanie, and they have 4 children; Haley, Hope, Hannah, and Holly. In addition to working, Michael has been a bible teacher for over 25 years. When he is not working and teaching, Michael plays a lot of tennis, and believes that, at 63, his best tennis is in front of him. Michael is passionate about college football, likes to fish, will barbeque anything he can fit on his grill, and is currently debating on whether or not to reunite with golf (he divorced the game in 2003).

"Jan Love has been our friend for 55 years. She is a great woman of God. I love hearing her play the piano and sing. She has been a good mother and was amazing after losing two sons. I know her book will help others tremendously. I salute you, dear Jan." - Dodie Osteen, Co-founder, Lakewood Church, Houston, Texas "Jan is one of my oldest and dearest friends and co-laborer in the area of ministry and missionary evangelism. We met in 1972, 50 years ago at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. We became fast friends along with our spouses, her Tom and my Jackie, both having now passed. We knew each other's families and some of the children from birth. We have both buried sons and a spouse, so I can certainly identify with Jan's heartache. She communicates the pain and the miraculous recovery after the death of a child. You will cry with her and laugh with her as you experience her missionary adventures." - Terry L. Mize, World Missionary "There are times when God sends someone special into your life. Jan is one of those persons. We have known each other for forty plus years now. We met as employees at Oral Roberts University. Jan serves as a Board member for our evangelistic ministry, Revelations-Revealed Truth Ministries. She is a mother, an example to all generations, and one who loves the Lord with all her heart, mind, and strength. Her life experiences have positioned her to speak life into the lives of others. She continues to touch lives for the glory of God. I am humbled to be her friend. May the Lord bless her and may this book be a blessing to many!" - Dr. Clarence V. Boyd, Jr., Vice President for Student Life, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Amid a missionary calling, courageous adventures of faith, and undeniable miracles emerges a devastating story of heartache and loss. Faith in God shines through these pages to reveal that He truly is the Healer of Broken Hearts.
An Invitation to Salvation This book has been inspired by my experiences in life and my relationship with God. It shares how things can go wrong, even if you are living right and going to church. Treat people with respect, and love everybody regardless of how they treat you. Know that good people go through these hardships too. Life can hurt you very badly, but take it from me-you can make it. Whatever you are facing, things really can turn around for you. Have faith in God because He has a plan for your life. Accept Jesus as Lord of your life today. He is able to bring you through your brokenness. Faith is believing God over everything and everybody else. ABOUT BISHOP OLIVER L. JONES Oliver L.

The Longest Pandemic focuses on the current state of American elementary education. The information in American Elementary Education: The Longest Pandemic is supported by effective school research. It provides strategies to help parents, teachers, and school board members understand the current deficiencies in elementary education and help them evaluate their own schools. The book presents historical information, noting the beginning of the slide to mediocrity, especially in elementary school reading and language arts programming. The information provided in The Longest Pandemic will help deal with poor instruction and other issues such as teacher unions and critical race theory. The author of this book, a former teacher, principal, and superintendent uses his own experience to illustrate the politics that influence the quality of elementary instruction. The Longest Pandemic provides readers with a concrete tool to deal with the problems in many American elementary schools. Patrick Dallabetta was a teacher, principal, and superintendent for 37 years. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in 1970 and Doctor in Educational Administration from Northern Arizona University in 1980.

Saved-ish is filled with unforgettable characters who find themselves forced to "bounce back" from things all Christians struggle with. The cross the prodigal son "Brother Ben" has to carry, however, is heavier than most. Not only does he have to overcome his family's "snake-bit" past after a 20-year absence from his hometown, but he has to do so while invigorating his buck-wild home church's congregation as its interim pastor. Anything that CAN happen DOES happen at Sacred Ground. But it would include a breakthrough of all breakthroughs in the life of the least of them all. (And that's not even the cliffhanger!) The tumultuous tale of "real-life" Christians with "real-life" issues is entertaining and inspiring, but what shines the most is the tangible evidence it provides that - through Christ Jesus - it's never too late to be what you "could've" been. Saved-ish is only slightly fictional in that the protagonist's fall and rise mirrors that of the author. I was incarcerated as a teen because I was a follower as well. I blindly followed my so-called friends straight to prison. Thankfully, while there I found a new friend to follow. One that sticks closer than a brother: My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! And through Him, as well as my incredibly loving family, I have truly turned my childhood tragedy into my manhood's triumph. I have since earned my associates degree in Theology, become an ordained minister, a motivational speaker and, at last, a published author. Which allows me yet another platform to inspire and enrich. Making my teenage incarceration battle cry and not my crutch.

Childlike trust brings a new awareness that hope is available and help is on the way. A prophetic dream reveals our heart sets the standard for what we will see. As God reveals Himself to us, we respond with our heart, creating an attitude of childlike trust in a good Father. Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3, NASB1995). It is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him." For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God . . . but we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:9-16, NASB 1995). We "tremble at His Word" out of awe and wonder, and our hearts grow more in love with Him. This attitude causes even trials and suffering to become growth opportunities. The opposite attitude creates arrogance and a stubborn, unrepentant heart. Living in his kingdom is glorious. Glory can be defined as copiousness, which means "large in quantity or number; abundant; plentiful." His kingdom is boundless, limitless, complete, perfect. His only request is that we trust Him as a good Father. With God, all things are possible. This attitude begins now in our heart and will take all of eternity to discover. Kenneth R. Kehl is now retired after a career as a successful insurance broker. He has been happily married for sixty-two years and has three children, twelve grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

"Again he measured...and brought me through the waters." Ezekiel 47:4a Let the water cover your toes. Watch the water rise as you are led one step at a time into the deep.

When my husband violently attacked me at 4 a.m. on Christmas Eve 1990 using a newspaper torch, I first thought my life was over. My second thought was my children. I silently prayed to God to protect me and my children. With my upper torso in flames then I saw an angel guide me down the hall to the bathroom where I was able to lock the door, get in the shower, and put out the flames. Through this ordeal and my faith in God I knew God would get me through this emotional and physical trial. With my trust and faith in God, He healed me physically and most importantly because of my faith I was emotionally able to continue to deal with my hurt and my pain. Also, the care of my children. I know God cares for all of us. Vickie Richardson was born and raised in Dry Ridge, Kentucky. She now resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The final frontier is conquered. Space is taken and being taken. But at what cost? And how? Once men sought to fly like birds. Now, they fly faster than the light of the sun. But were we really meant to go so fast? So far? So high? When does Icarus fall? In the strange and alien landscape of the warp, hyperspace, the space between spaces, men see visions, hear songs, and some never return. Those who do, sometimes see giant planets of gas and hydrogen, and hear murmured lullabies. Always before us lie the stars, and always behind, Earth. Which will we choose? A lifelong student of fantastical literature of all kinds, Aleksandr grew up fascinated with astronomy and the imagery inherent to space stories and science fiction.The stories of interstellar travel, and the perils of venturing from earth, the vast expanses of endless gemstone stars in the black vaults of space, these are the passions brought forth in this narrative. Inspired by stories such as Herbert's Dune, where the travel through the stars involves visions, and the mystical, combined with a love for the oldest traditions of literature, with all its tragedy and victory, led to this tale.
This book is a hands-on instructional guide on how to upgrade a law enforcement agency to a true profession. It begins with identifying the mechanical structures of a profession and how these should be applied to a law enforcement agency. It then moves into the virtue elements of a true profession and how to instill these into officers. The book concludes by viewing a number of worldviews to determine which worldviews contribute positively to the law enforcement profession. The final chapters give suggestions on how these should be implemented in a department and then in a community.

Within these pages are real stories of struggle and hope, of pain and joy, of addiction and abuse followed by freedom and forgiveness, grace and love, and Jesus. Within these pages are stories of young love, of loss, of new beginnings and love restored. One couple has been married less than a year and another almost 40 years. One couple met as children and another met at church at a time when they believed love to be a thing of the past. As you read, our hope is that you would begin to write your own story. That your marriage is strengthened and in turn your story would strengthen someone else. My name is Jackie Vazquez, my husband Mick and I began a journey six years ago that led us here. A dear friend told us "if you save a marriage, you save a family for generations to come" and we ran with that. We have been married over 30 years, and we decided we wanted to help others and in turn experience something new in our own marriage. We began facilitating marriage groups, then we started hosting yearly retreats, and this year we established a non-profit. Our hope is to grow this ministry and help others do what we do. Our hope is to help generations to come. We know what it is to struggle, Jesus saved our marriage and in turn our family. Our children, now young adults, are reaping the rewards of a decision we made to hold on to Jesus and hold on to each other.
