I truly believe in Karma and I act accordingly. I no longer live my life with regrets because you cannot change the past and it is a horrible way to live.

What is a Christian? What should they act like? Has anybody ever taken the time to explain to you how Christianity works without beating you up? Are we all going to make it to Heaven? Are there degrees of happiness and rewards for believers and conversely, punishments for the unbelievers? There seems to be a spiritual famine in our country, so what exactly is the value in serving God? These "speculation theologies" are floating around today, but they are based on human reasoning or what's "politically correct" and not the Bible. At best, the church doesn't offer us much information about Heaven, except that it will have streets of gold and be beautiful. We all will be rewarded and happy, but beyond that, we really aren't told very much about what we'll be doing. Or are we? As Gerber continued to trace various subjects through the Bible, an image started to materialize out of the mist, one of God's mature yet consistent plan for us in His kingdom. In Love with Abandon, Jerry Gerber takes scriptural pictures and transforms them into fictional stories, depicting the possibilities of life in God's eternal kingdom. In his work, Gerber challenges you to live for God and turn to His Word, and in doing so, He will help you get through whatever you may be facing. Jesus doesn't always immediately heal us of our past, but He does help us cope until the time is right for healing. And though God may not make sense today, He will in the end.
Grief makes a fool of us all, but love makes us brave. In Sentimentality by Victoria Morales, the lives of three young friends take an interesting turn when they're faced with love, loss, and the pursuit of happiness. "Victoria "Isa" Morales grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where she wrote her first published works Sentimentality and You Said I Was Strange, Is This What You Meant? She is an artist, pianist, and of course, an author. As a Hispanic American, she values her culture as a central part of her identity as well as her faith in Jesus Christ and her love for philosophy. She believes that in a fallen world, the time we spend on meaningless artifice takes away from humanity's nature-to love, and to be loved in return. She hopes you find that love, too-in God, in others, and within yourself."

Every fruit must have a root, a stem or plant, and a branch from which to grow. This is true in our natural world, and it is also evident in our lives as followers of Christ. In Fruit from a Root: A Study of the Fruit of the Spirit through the Eyes of a Little Girl on a Farm, author Norma Cruse reveals how you can be a powerful fruit bearer. Originating from the Root producing the Tender Plant, as Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 53, the fruit of the Spirit is produced from the Root of God, Jesus Christ, and as the branch, you bear this precious fruit. As Cruse conveys the necessity of bearing the fruit of the Spirit, she also simplifies this daunting task. Discover the freedom of walking in Christ as Cruse dispels any erroneous perceptions you may have had of not being able to bear this fruit. Raised on a farm where her mom and dad grew massive fruit and vegetable crops, Cruse takes you on a journey of experiencing the beauty, wonder, and power of the fruit of the Spirit through the perspective of a child learning the lessons of farm life. By sharing the impact farming had on her, Cruse shows you how scriptural references of agricultural illustrations come alive on the farm. Fruit from a Root will fill your heart with an exuberance for cultivating a fruit-bearing life founded upon the nurturing soil of God's Word. Through Fruit from a Root, you will be amazed at just how able you are to be a "much fruit bearer" by doing what you are called to do and allowing God to do His part. May Cruse's inspirational study encourage you to embrace every opportunity to bear the fruit of the Spirit.

Customer Obsession is the secret sauce that has fueled the success of some of the world's most beloved and successful brands, including Amazon.com, Apple, Costco, Trader Joe's, and Zappos. The phrase was popularized by Amazon.com to describe the extreme approach to prioritizing customers that has established the company as a model of customer experience excellence to be emulated. That obsessive emphasis on prioritizing customers is also credited as a key factor in Amazon's rise to become one of the most dominant companies across the globe. Other companies like Costco, Trader Joe's, and Zappos that are legendary for their customer experience excellence have a similarly extreme approach to prioritizing customers even though they didn't initially refer to themselves as Customer Obsessed. They're also known for industry leading business results.Yet very few companies have achieved the level of customer experience excellence that earns them the right to be called Customer Obsessed. This book, Blueprint for Customer Obsession, lays out the eight habits and practices that distinguish Customer Obsessed companies from their "Customer Focused" or "Customer Centric" peers and makes the secret sauce of Customer Obsession accessible to business leaders worldwide. Blueprint for Customer Obsession demonstrates with concrete examples that Customer Obsession is not just a slogan, a catchphrase, or a rallying cry. It is a handbook for any leader that wants to engineer a Customer Obsession transformation in their company or business unit.

Zirenya, Mother of the World has manifested herself into a being. By bonding with the Eight-five Culturless, she is able to divide her mind from the planet into a physical form. From there she and the Culturless guide the beings of the planet down a path that strays from total wars. However, conflicts only need but a spark. The power of The Star Man was thrust upon three individuals who now have to choose how to use the incredibly potent power. I'm Marquise Campbell, born in Harris County, Texas and now living in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. I'm an adventurous, hardworking father of one beautiful little girl. She is a major inspiration when it comes to me expressing myself through art. I admire her ability to take part in anything she has interest in with little to no hesitation. With that said, her curiosity about the world around her sparked an idea in my head one day. The idea was something like, "What if Mother Nature and Father Time had a child?" After thinking on that question for a few years I put pen to paper. Through many years and months of dedication to my story, also the discovery of an earth shattering love, we now have Zirenya. Created out of passion, carefully crafted from my soul, this series holds parts of my heart from now until forever. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
