Sure, everyone has a story to tell so let me share my truth. A TRUTH that has opened me up and allowed me to begin to heal. A truth that has made me face my demons, yet a truth that God is allowing me to share so that you too can allow your truth to set you free as mine have. Just what is it about the truth many do not like facing? I've learned that ONLY the truth will set you free no matter how ugly it is. It then not only becomes the truth but the UGLY truth which brings about the freedom we all so rightfully deserve and a conscience-free life. One should never be ashamed about what they've been through. Life has not always dealt us a fair hand. We take what we have been through to help others to get through in life. BE FREE! Emily, a 47-year-old North Carolina native, a survivor, an overcomer, wife, mother, now grandmother of five adorable grandchildren brings to you a very powerful memoir of her own TRUTH. Emily enjoys traveling, writing, singing, dancing, bowling, hiking mountains, and spending time with family. Emily has been inspired to write her second book by seeing and realizing how many people go around on a day-to-day basis hiding behind scars that eventually destroy them if not healed from them. Emily was once that person so writing this book not only has helped her to heal, but her prayer is that it will help others to no longer hide behind their scars, heal, and live within their truth as well.

There is considerable debate related to the Rapture of the Bride of Christ. Will Jesus catch-up His Bride prior to the beginning of the Tribulation, or will the Bride endure the Tribulation and be punished with the world to be purified and tested? God has two purposes for the Tribulation Period: Instruct Israel and the world and punish Israel and the world. In addition, to discussing the Prewrath and Pretrib positions, this book will provide information to answer the main driving question in this book: "How did we get here from there?" One position is rooted in speculation, flawed hermeneutical systems, and results in heresy; the other is founded on two principles of absolute truth that are found in Genesis Chapter 18 and First Timothy 5:8. The reader is encouraged to appeal to the Holy Spirit to reveal which one is the truth and which one is not. Dr. Rickman is a stripper's son and was taught every dysfunctional habit a mother could teach her son. Through God's help, he overcame many obstacles which have been detailed in his book The Stripper's Son. Dr. Rickman takes no credit as he fully knows that God performed the work and deserves the credit. All praise and glory must go to the Lord. Dr. Rickman possesses three degrees from accredited universities, has pastored four churches, and is currently a missionary to Thailand. Dr. Rickman has authored more than 20 books publishing three and has been working as a freelance editor for the Buriram University in Buriram, Thailand. While there are no experts in the field of theology specifically eschatology, Dr. Rickman labored for just under five years to produce this work hoping to expose error and teach truth related to the Pretribulational Rapture of the church.

GG was once a girl! Can you believe it? She climbed trees, beat up boys and even her sister. Teachers wrote on her report card, "behavior needs to improve." The doctor paid her to stop screaming. GG had another name then. Walking to school, she dodged big tumbleweeds, prairie dog holes and deep snow. Her grandmother made a house of grass and dirt. There was no bathroom and no electricity. In the middle of Nebraska, in the middle of the United States, almost 100 years ago, GG was a girl called Caroline Mae.

This is a book of Hope. I would look at pictures of my children and grandchildren to remind me to continue going. I would go to California to visit my grandchildren and went to the beach a lot. I would watch and stare at the waves rolling in and out. Some waves were huge and lasted long and others were shorter and crumbled quickly. The waves would remind me of my life. Sometimes my life was up and stable for a long time. These were the good times. The next time short and messy or crumbly which reminded me of the rough times.

Though his sessions with his counselor, Francis shares his struggles with obesity and depression, and rediscovers his strengths, hopes, and passion for life. He learns to value and love the man that he has become.

Life is a string of everyday memories, collected and strung together like a necklace of fine pearls. From Sunrise to Sunset, we make memories that are stored in the intricate corners of the beautiful minds which God gave us. When we take those remnants of thoughts and connect them with carefully selected scriptures, it builds new spiritual memories not easily forgotten. Inside the inspiring pages of her twenty-one day devotional and journal, "MAKE A MEMORY EVERY DAY" Volume 1: God's Word Changes Your Life, author Jerilyn Pallesi Von Flue pulls you in, as a reader, with her own favorite "fine pearl" memories, combining them with powerful passages of Scripture, all to make a lasting impression on your minds. In addition, these entries encourage you as a reader to make your own new memories from this devotional. Each daily devotional also includes a "Take Time to Pray" and "Challenge" section to better initiate you in your journey to become more personally in tune with God, cultivate a stronger relationship with Him, and flex your "memory muscles" by taking the challenge to memorize the daily scriptures, then journal your own thoughts for further meditation. Jerilyn created this book from God's spiritual seeds that were planted in her life as a small child, and now harvested as an adult. Sharing memories from the heart in this book might seem a difficult task, but God can and will do for you, the same thing He has done for her. If talking to you personally, she would tell you it takes your trust and obedience, love, faith, courage and being intentional to follow him......

"Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools (common men with no educational advantages), they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus," (Acts 4:13). Upon a close study of the verse above, and countless others like it found in the Bible, you can clearly see that the Bible is full of what author Doug Johnson likes to call the "Barnyard Gospel." In Scripture, Jesus taught with and used very simple examples and parables, often using such things as rocks, trees, rivers, fields, seeds, in addition to all sorts of animals -- from sheep, lambs, wolves, snakes, birds, and even donkeys - to speak about God's kingdom. If God used a donkey to send us a message, then He can certainly use us to speak through too! In his profound memoir, GOD'S in the People Changing Business, author and pastor Doug Johnson gives readers his special brand of colloquial and spiritual experiences. Johnson provides a conversational, layman's biblical analysis and commentary, supported by the lessons learned from his own life's story as a self-proclaimed, hardworking "redneck." In these enlightening and light-hearted pages, the author also gives readers ample evidence (along with a good dose of old-fashioned country wit and humor!) of the truth behind his powerful theme that "God is in the people-changing business." Formerly living a "non-spiritual" life, and not having attended church for his first thirty-seven years, God planted a seed in Johnson's heart, harvesting him as a pastor into a changed life for Christ. The stories found inside will encourage, inspire, and help show readers that what God has done in the author's life, He can do for everyone. For He truly is the ultimate General Manager in the people-changing business.

The Steward of speech is "the" book, like no other, that will lead the readers into a "recovery of speech." Most do not realize that the enemy has you bound by your very own words. You have been speaking words that are pleasing to him, he has corrupted your speech. He knows he can blame you, after all that would be your "testimony." You must realize that your words are powerful, creative, and restorative. You have been given the divine gift of speech in the image of your creator. He framed the entire universe with words. If you only knew the damage you have caused yourself, your loved ones, and others by your words you would turn it around. This book will reveal to you how to recover your divine gift. It did it for me, and it will do it for you.

James 5: 16 says, 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." So, why is it Christians do not pray? Is it because they do not know the right words to say or they do not have enough time? Is it because they feel their prayers are not answered? Powerful Prayers, New Testament Edition is a tool to help put all these excuses to rest. Walk with us through the Bible reading prayers that will help you maneuver through some of the experiences you may have faced in life. Prayer is personal and powerful. When prayer is presented, it will be answered. God has guaranteed it. The power is not in the words. The power is in the One to whom we pray. As believers we should pray without ceasing. Unfortunately, prayer has become the stepchild of the Christian faith when it should be the foundation. As believers, we must understand how critical the daily discipline of prayer is to living a saved, satisfied and secure life. Teron V.

Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." He also taught us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." Oftentimes bread is available to us and in our possession, but we can't decide what to eat. Bible reading can sometimes be like that. Our appetites constantly change, and we need and enjoy variety in our spiritual diet. In I'm Trying to Help Somebody, Rodrick A. Smith wants to provide a balanced diet of daily spiritual nourishment. These daily devotions serve as a source of encouragement, inspiration, warning, and rebuke; that's the variety. They are expositional, practical, and portable. One devotional is written from each chapter of John's gospel through the book of Revelation. Prayerfully read and be helped. I'm Trying to Help Somebody is an inspiring read for Bible enthusiasts on every level. To have these carefully written notes is valuable to the shelves of every Christian's library.

This book will relate many miracles, signs and wonders that occurred during my mission trips. It will show Christians that they have the authority of Jesus Christ and the Power of Holy Spirit to stand against the devils, demons, and Satan himself. Through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, we can fight the good fight of faith and have the Victory, in Jesus Name. Amen! About the Author Jesus became my Savior in 1984 and my Lord in 1996.

Then He called me to go to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Venezuela, and Columbia to do crusades, preach in churches, seminars, conferences, camp meetings, and on radio and TV in Kenya and on local TV.

Salvations, deliverances, and healings happened, all the time, as Holy Spirit moved in me and through me to touch and change people's lives.

God is calling you to become His servant to change the destiny of the world. This book will show you how. There is a Man - Who knows what you're feeling. There is a Prince - Who offers His Peace. There is a King - Who came as a Servant to this world. There's a Life and a Love that cannot cease. There is a NAME! Jesus is LORD! "Those who wish to serve will be inspired by visions so right and beautiful. Those who are serving now will sense the gentle guidance to do it right and well. Those who have served and find themselves depleted and exhausted, will find understanding, restorative friends guiding them back to the joy of delighting in, and serving the One who fulfilled all righteousness." Hyunmee Lee, Pianist, Mother, Music Minister, many of whose recordings and PDFs are attached in Appendix 1 "The Heart of A Servant encapsulates the very best of David and Ellen's life's teaching.

With the aid of Gary Parrett's catechetical hymns and musical accompaniments, the reader will discover many of the insights found in these pages modulated into worship! This book is a primer on how sound theology can and should lead to doxology. It is a tour de force of spiritual theology and Christian practice."

This Book is written to give you confidence in God's promises, and help you understand what kind of stock the LORD bought. You do not belong to yourself. You were given away by your elder brother-Adam. He'd given his authority and inheritance away to Satan by being disobedient to God, without even knowing it. Therefore, while in the genealogy of mankind, you need to know if you still belong to Satan; or, if you've heard the voice of the Good Shepherd and came back to Him. This is written to provide encouragement and practical wisdom to help you discover if you are-His stock. He is Lord of the Harvest! His stock is a New Believer in Christ. Hopefully, reading this will give you assurance, and help you get to know that some of His stock strolled away and became lost as they were tempted, due to the lust of their eyes, lust of their flesh, and the pride of life. Fortunately, the Lord helped Joyce come to know-while reading the Bible and meditating on His Word, that He was always there for her. She found out that she's His stock and He's her Good Shepherd. Inside this book His promises are made known, and the Kingdom of God is revealed. I'm praying that you will be qualified to be in God's presence and bow down before His throne. Are you qualified to enter His presence? Please return God's investment in you-through Christ; and see how He will open His windows of blessings for you, while walking by faith in His Word. This will help you discover your path to victory and where you will spend eternity. God paid "The Right Price" to save you.

How did the Bible come to represent the Word of God to mankind? Which Bible best represents the Word of God? There appears to still be a great deal of confusion about why one letter that Paul wrote to the churches in 60 AD, for example, resulted in multiple different translations of that letter in today's Bibles. Based on these questions, the author recognized the need for linking the historical aspects of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, in a concise manner, directly to the development of the English Bible and then to the varieties of Bible translations and Bible formats available to today's readers - be they new Christians, mature Christians or those teaching Bible study. This book will address these questions in layman's terminology as well as offer recommendations and discuss options for choosing a Bible based on how the reader is going to use it. Ron Lyman currently lives in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania. Ron has taught Sunday school classes for children, youth and adults and served as a leader for church Sunday school programs as well as being a Bible study leader for 40 years. Ron recognized the need for linking the historical aspects of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to the development of today's English Bible while operating a Christian book store. There appeared to still be confusion about why the same Biblical manuscript was translated differently across the Bibles available today. Ron took almost two years to develop a slide presentation that he has given to 30+ churches and Bible study groups of different church denominations to explain the variety of Bibles available today. The discussions that were a part of each presentation are the background for the material in this book.

Also, she hopes that her experience will encourage other believers to continue in their walk, answer their calls to share Christ, and continue to grow in our Lord and Savior. Regina L. McCray was born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
