In our culture, it is common to hear the phrase "the gospel of Jesus Christ." However, this can mean many things to many people. Because there are so many different churches, denominations, and groups who identify as Christian, this book clarifies how Jesus and the Apostles presented the gospel in the first place, that is, how it is revealed in the New Testament and how the first followers of Jesus would have understood his call. The gospel discussed in these pages is rooted in the Bible itself and avoids the trappings of distinctive theological or denominational perspectives. Why You Need (the real) Jesus is easily readable, yet, deep enough to give you a clear perspective of what the Bible actually means by the wonderful phrase, "the gospel of Jesus Christ." Edwin Cohea holds two undergraduate degrees from Grace Christian University in theology and missions. He also holds a graduate degree in New Testament theology from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. He has served in various ministries over the last many decades. He and his lovely wife, Jeannette, and their menagerie of pets, live in western Michigan near the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan.

Cedric - Footprints in the Sand is an epoch dog tale. Inspired by the true story of a shipwrecked Newfoundland dog who wandered into a small coastal village. Finding his way to the end of a pier, he would spend the remainder of his years rescuing twenty-three people from other shipwrecks. During the Victorian Era, the great English painter, Sir Edwin Landseer, did a portrayal of the dog with the sea and gulls behind him. However, it was painted thirty years after the dog had died and there is little known about this remarkable creature. With a spark of creative industry, Barry Stebbing began filling in many of the blanks in this masterful tale of historical fiction believing it is a true classic in the making. Cedric is a delightful read for all ages. Written with a touch of prose, it allows the reader's imagination to wander into a wonderful era. Along with following Cedric as he fights his way through tumultuous seas to rescue shipwrecked souls, the reader follows the life of a young aspiring artist and that of many other intriguing Dickens-like characters, traveling through various chapters with a soft flow of faith and romance. Animal stories invariably have a way of touching one's heart and the author's purpose is to bring the reader to a sublime place above the mundane cares of the world; to ponder upon things that are good, and pure, and uplifting, long after the final page is read.

There is no doubt that society today is experiencing a mental health crisis. Depression and anxiety are on the rise, and many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to turn. In times like these, what is the church doing to help? As Christians, what does it look like to address mental health from a spiritual perspective? It's Mind over Matter: It's Not That Crazy by Staccato Powell II is a compelling dissertation which provides an in-depth study into the mental health epidemic of people, preachers, and parishioners within the context of Fisher African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in Phoenix, Arizona. Informed and inspired by his own experiences with mental illness, Staccato initially intended to write a book addressing the church's response to mental illness. When discovering the lack of response from the church as a whole in this area, however, his focus shifted to educating the church on new ways to think about mental health. Discussing biblical characters, such as Job and the demoniac in Luke 5, as well as historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Staccato focuses on the mental health struggles each individual had and how we can learn from their experiences in our own lives. The book addresses mental health from a variety of perspectives and encourages readers that mental illness is not a sign of weakness. Rather, people who struggle with mental illness possess great strength and the capacity to live fulfilling, positive lives. Reverend Doctor Staccato Keithan Powell II was born on an Easter Sunday in April 22, 1984. In 2003, Reverend Powell attended Lincoln University. It would be here that Rev. Powell was initiated into the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Beta Chapter. He would describe his initiation as one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences. Rev. Powell would graduate from Lincoln University in 2007 and begin to shape the lives of the individuals he encountered in an excellent way. After graduating from the first HBCU in the nation he immediately enrolled into Duke University and completed his Master's of Divinity at the oldest black institution of the south, Shaw University, to study under Gardner C. Taylor. He currently serves as the senior pastor of Fisher A.M.E. Zion church in Phoenix, AZ. Recently he received his Doctorate in Ministry at United Theological Seminary where he is now an adjunct professor.

The journey of learning to recognize God's voice and discern His guidance is a gradual process. Learning to identify His leadings and guidance became a series of steps for me. Hearing specific instructions, and finding answers, is not something learned overnight. It's akin to how children learn to speak and comprehend language over time. It's a lifetime of learning. A process. A journey of thousands of little steps. The book identifies several personal experiences where God spoke, I recognized His voice and when I obeyed, the consequences were life changing. In each circumstance His direction proved to be perfect not only for the immediate but for years to come. When the scripture says that God's ways are perfect, we need to ask ourselves, why do I want my own way?

To create a welcoming and competitive workforce that celebrates diversity and encourages creativity, an equal employment opportunity (EEO) philosophy is crucial. While fulfilling EEO guidelines might prove challenging, organizations that uphold diversity and equality among their staff may experience a notable boost in their reputations in addition to an upsurge in morale and engagement among their workers. Companies that prioritize EEO have a considerably greater likelihood of enduring prosperity because there are far more advantages associated with it compared to disadvantages. Businesses could establish a workplace that is more appealing to a large pool of candidates and, eventually, result in an increased number of skilled and robust staff by addressing issues such as unintentional discrimination and prejudice and controlling the possibility of criticism among employees or stakeholders. In a nutshell, employers are obligated to select candidates primarily for their skills as well as work experience instead of their identity, and this tends to be the case. As a result, the organization may include individuals of various nationalities, genders, religions, ages, and professions. Consequently, workplace diversity advances, and workers become more prepared to contribute a variety of perspectives on tasks, processes, and outcomes than more uniform teams could. Employers must also meet their standards in addition to diversifying the staff they employ. It is of the utmost importance to guarantee that each person works in a setting that allows them to be appreciated, secure, and have the opportunity for advancement. Both the employees and the business will benefit from making diversity, equity, and inclusion a core value of their company's culture. When employees are appreciated, accepted, and at ease in their position of responsibility, the effectiveness of a business may increase.

"It is important to have public diplomacy as a solution to one of the greatest weaknesses in US foreign policy that has exacerbated the unprecedented antiAmericanism of recent years-the US government's inability to conduct the "full spectrum" of diplomatic arts and integrate them with the other arts of statecraft at the level of grand strategy". -John Lenczowski, Founder, President Emeritus, and Chancellor of The Institute of World Politics, an independent graduate school of national security, intelligence, and international affairs in Washington, D.C.

I've learned through this experience that he doesn't call the qualified, he will qualify the called.

For the first time in my life, I had to fight for it. COVID attacked me, my family, and the world. Being a trauma nurse in the emergency department, I often find myself (as do all of my coworkers) meeting people on the worst day of their lives. Now for the first time, I started meeting people during the worst time of mine. This book is written to illustrate how we should be able to fight the devastating effects of this virus together. There is an army that is available to everyone, and every single person can become a part of the army that everyone needs in their life. We can focus this army to support one another, or to tear us apart because someone thinks differently than we do. This is an age-old problem that continues to face us today, something I call "self-righteous indignation." It continues to tear apart our friends, families, and even countries. We need each other's strengths, not each other's opinions. There is a person in that medical bed--someone with a family, friends, and a health care team. They need us. They need support. But so do those who are on the outside looking in. I hope this book offers a glimpse into what it was like to be a care giver who found himself changing from bedside care to needing care from the other side of the bed, and to see how that need extended into my family and friends.
