Jesus Christ is still working miracles. I found myself at the point of suicide after using drugs and alcohol. At the point of insanity, Christ left me with just enough sanity to cry out to Him. He heard my cry! He healed me! My life is now evolved with His. My name is Jacqueline Anderson. My hometown is Memphis, Tennessee. I am the mother of four children. Writing is a joy to me. I consider it my hobby. I am determined to let someone know that there is hope in the midst of a hopeless situation. We live in a world were hope is fading for many people. People don't know who or what to turn to. It seems as though, what they turn to crumbles. We all need stability in life. There are things in life that break us and causes us to crack and tears us into pieces mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. The only stability in this life is He who is the giver of life Jesus Christ. When the breaking tearing and cracking of life hits us. Jesus is that hope that keeps it all together.

The practicality of my own life's decisions could have transitioned differently without a spiritual relationship with God. A Journey of hope, faith, and trust. My process is ever growing, through it all, I am learning obedience in times of disobedience. The difference on my fate to faith journey to decipher religion differently from an intimate relationship with Elohim The Most High. I am learning to embrace His Agape love, accepting His grace and mercy through all my atrocities. I am trusting in His peace that passes all understanding. He is teaching me forgiveness, to love me, self-respect, believe in me, as I trust in Him to shape me. My ability to write was encouraged in Bible school where it was mandatory to take notes in contemporary lectures from each guest speaker. I am grateful for that season of exposure, also confirmation that: "The Lord Most High will teach me many things, and give me an ability to write, so I should write, write, whatever, I have learned from the Lord, so the Body of Christ will be blessed by my writings." (Dr. Patricia Morgan 1994). This writing ability has also been confirmed by others. An Evangelist from Jamaica (Carlton Daley) while Ministering @ the Rebirth International Assembly in the State of Georgia, asked Rev. Maxine Anderson for a pen, placed it in my hand, declaring that I need to start writing the books that God has given me to write. "I have nothing but all You have given me."

We Need to Wake! The world is going downhill, but we pretend we don't see anything. I wrote this book to share my knowledge with my fellow Christians so we can come together to serve the Lord better. We are His disciples, we call ourselves Christians, and we say God is our heavenly Father. The Bible tells us we are called to care for this world He has given us and to represent our heavenly Father as His ambassadors. We know what we need to do, and the Lord has given us the tools to do it. My prayer is that this book will help you begin to implement and use these tools by joining together with our fellow Christians.

WARNING: This book contains words and concepts believers of the Holy Bible know, but probably cannot define or explain. A few examples of words or concepts in this book that are defined or explained: The Holy Bible states that Jesus was crucified on the day before the Sabbath but Jesus was crucified on Wednesday and Jesus's physical body was resurrected soon after sunset on Saturday. This is explained in Chapter 1. The Holy Bible uses the word heart to mean something other than the physical pump that circulates blood throughout your body. This is defined in Chapter 1. The Holy Bible uses the concept of the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus is defined and explained in Chapter 3. These examples are not used as a bait but, the ordinance of Communion cannot be fully revealed until you understand some of the basic words and concepts used in the Holy Bible. In the movie "A FEW GOOD MEN", Colonel Nathan R. Jessup (Jack Nicholson) shouted: "YOU DON'T WANT THE TRUTH! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" As believers of the Holy Bible we must seek after the TRUTH and believe and receive the TRUTH when it is revealed. This will set us free! Who is Daniel Larson physically?

You will no longer be able to work for Him on the basis of common sense."

Life is a series of transitions. From child, to teen, to adult. From newlywed, to parent, to grandparent. From apprentice, to laborer, to retirement. In these scenarios, knowing the inevitability of change we make preparation. The ministry should be no different. Should the return of Christ tarry, every church will ultimately have a different pastor than the one who now leads the flock. Some of those changes will occur because of calling, some because of health, some because of death, and others will change because of sin. Regardless of the cause behind the change, every church and pastor should prepare for that day. Next: A Manual for Pastoral Transitions is an invaluable resource for making those preparations. Written by a man who has experienced such transitions as a child in the home of a pastor, as well as being in the position of pastor himself, this book is filled with practical and helpful insights for navigating the troubling waters of change. With chapters for the departing pastor, the pastoral candidate, the successor in waiting, and the pulpit committee, this book helps provide a roadmap through every facet of transition. While you may not agree with every opinion expressed by the author, there is more than enough practical advice to make this book an essential part of every preacher's library and a valuable tool for every deacon board and pulpit committee. - Craig Burcham, Chairman of the Bible Department Golden State Baptist College, Santa Clara, California

Phoenix residents Bill and Bev Johnstone inherited a small sawmill in western Washington. Even before they took it over, they were warned to close it down. As they ignored the threat and moved to Littlerock, Washington, the threats worsened, and people lost their lives. The Johnstones and their kids learned a lot about logging and more about how to protect themselves from a large and evil organization that was out to stop all the gyppo loggers. With God's guidance and the help of their family they were able to finally find peace. I have a host of relatives in the logging business in the northwest. I grew up where trees were plentiful. I am now older and those places and things are only memories, but they live in my book.

Many books and papers have been written on the mysteries of the Bible. Some of the topics cover Bible history, theology, and trivia under the umbrella of a mystery defined by the writer not by God. Other writings cover the mysteries as stated by the apostles Paul and John, but offer only cursory context and explanation. Few if any provide total scriptural context with background, intended audience, and how the mysteries culminate to finality. Peter warned of looking at prophecy in isolation when he stated in 2 Peter 1:20, "This first knowing, that any prophecy of scripture of its own interpretation is not." This book looks at each mystery as defined by the Holy Spirit as, first, being a mystery. Second, each mystery is examined by looking at the Biblical application and timing from beginning to end as the mystery will be made manifest to more than the believer. Finally, the mysteries are discussed in the logical order of their revelation and brought to a conclusion by the last mystery before the eternal state. The last mystery "The mystery of God should be finished" (Revelation 10:7), brings the wisdom of God into full view for the believer who desires to be a good steward of God's word.

King Records was only two blocks from her childhood home, and this was the place her father found solace in singing and occasionally recording in the same historic place as did many great musicians such as James Brown and Bootsy Collins.

The challenge of collecting all the clues cloaked in the mists of time and properly relating them to our modern times makes for an exciting and enlightening journey.

After a deep spiritual experience in my teen years, I was called to serve in the Kingdom of God. That service included deaconship, worship leader and church elder in two churches in the greater Orlando area. I am married to my wonderful wife of 58 years, Alice. We have three children and six grandchildren. I enjoy gardening, fishing and hunting. Current events demanded I somehow share truth, light and hope with my fellow man as the world spirals, seemingly, out of control. Since I have never written anything more than a 500-page school report, I believe the Holy Spirit has inspired and empowered me to write this timely piece.
