Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God lets the reader into the private and intimate areas of the author's heart and mind. Many writers, pastors, or spiritual leaders encourage others to let God into their lives by telling Bible stories, giving snippets of generalized accounts about their own or others' experiences, and by sharing philosophical viewpoints. Although not a "how-to" book, Living Loved details one person's coming to live in close, personal friendship with God. Author Laurice Shafer writes for the person who has wondered about someone else's spiritual life, hoping to find encouragement for their own experience of God. She tells of God's efforts to bring her into friendship with Him, describing it as it was...defects of character are acknowledged, God's specific interventions described heart to heart communication between a woman and her God detailed, and healing and growth in human relationships explored. The hope that comes with experiencing God and His power to restore resounds in this book.

Who is Betty?Betty Marie Stone is an enthusiastic overweight young singer with the desire to one day - see her name in lights. Although she was always complimented as a child because her voice was strong and adult like in church, No one ever said anything to her regarding her looks, smarts, or personality. For some reason, they only focused on her voice. The elder women would say, "Chile you got a gift from God just like your mother," or they would say, "If you don't do anything else, you ought to sing." Raised by a strong, Southern Baptist Grandmother in the middleof one of the largest Northern Cities was a struggle all in itself. The city lights called to her in a way much different than her counterparts because they had never experienced the darkness of the south. Betty remembered seeing miles and miles of darkness when she was a child. Although they moved to Michigan when she was twelve, she still remembered the dark roads and fields. For some reason, she always felt that the lights made her feel safe and looked after. She thought as long as there were lights, she would never feel the sadness of darkness, nor would she feel alone. Those long dark southern roads seem to escalate the long suffering she endured being alone and forced to care for her mother when she needed care and attention herself.After years had passed and the city started to quiet down a bit, Betty really started to focus on her future. She was sure that singing would make her happy, but unsure if her desired path was even possible. The pains she endured while trying to pursue her dream as a NON-Gospel singer begins almost immediately. Southern gospel was the ONLY music permitted in Grandma's house. Grandma seemed to only care about her church and her relationship with her Bible. After the death of her Mother; Betty thought she'd never sing again. Somehow, after those feelings died a bit, the fire and desire to perform still burned brightly in her soul.Now that she is in her early twenties, she reflects on her feelings as a child, and it still saddens her to admit that she really did feel alone even in the lights. Betty now feels that God's love is enough to help her through any rough patch. After all the ups and downs she endured, Betty finally found someone worth singing for, herself. NOW nothing can stop her, not even fear or loneliness. Now it's time to get the game face on. Betty, It's Showtime.

Robert Morris II recorded eight hours of interviews with his father, Robert Morris, MD (1904-1990), from which he drafted an autobiography and presented it to his dad on his 85th birthday. Until Dr. Morris' death 15 months later, they collaborated to correct and add to the original memories. Dr. Morris' career was unique in several ways: He dropped out of medical school twice, returning to farming, then vowed that he'd become a doctor or die. The third time in medical school, he led his class most quarters. Married a nurse and settling in the village of Medina (pop. 400) in 1935, his practice and reputation -- especially as a diagnostician--grew until his death. He made home visits extending to five counties, the last doctor to do so in this area, delivering some 2000 babies in the home, while also serving in four hospitals. He was a devout Christian and lay leader in his church. Two of his daughters married doctors, two others became ending as a writer. Dr. Morris tells both painful and humorous stories about his life.

The Bible is considered the most profound collection of documents in all of history, and its messages and stories are still referenced today in the secular world. But it's long, complicated, hard to understand, and is not organized in chronological order.After author Dr. Peter Bylsma published The Short Bible, it became clear that a shorter version was needed that used simple language. This shorter Simplified version was written for those who are at least 10 years old and those with limited time. It summarizes all 66 books of the Old and New Testament in 24 short, easy-to-read chapters and captures the Bible's epic stories, characters, and main ideas. Structured like a modern book, it also includes a pronunciation guide as well as historical and geographical facts to help clarify the context of the events.The Simplified Short Bible is appropriate for those who are already familiar with the Bible but want a fresh look at its messages. Busy people who want to understand the stories and messages of the most read book of all time will also find it to be a thought-provoking read.

Angels of the Seven Churches- Revelation 2-3The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands.The Seven Stars: Are the angels of the seven churches, and The Seven Lampstands which you saw are the seven churches (Rev. 1:20).Revelation 2: To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, The Loveless Church: Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place -unless you repentRevelation 3: And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, The Dead Church: Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent, therefore, if you do not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who comes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

The tittle to this book may be surprising to many! For most active Church going folks, we normally associate the word deacon to a well-respected beloved individual. We usually would associate the word deacon as an honorary title. Over many years since the formation of deacons in the Book of Acts the word deacon stopped being a descriptor of the job of deacon and increasing became a title, much like aristocratic England. This is an intentional analogy. This was not the case in the early Church. Sadly, many deacons have become titled men rather than servant men. This tittle book is simplified call for God's deacons to rise and discard the title of Deacon and return to the Biblical mandate for deacons. And by their good works establish a framework for God's Revival Fire.

The information we have to share is so important that the publishers agreed with me to place two books in one. Volume 1 is all about love. Love may come easy but love should never be blind. There are many relationship factors to be considered. We have been gathering wisdom for over five decades. Wisdom, that has stood the test of time. In this volume, you will find a reliable roadmap to romance, and also pitfalls and relationship potholes to avoid that will lead to broken hearts and failed relationships.Volume 2 is all about marriage. God, The Marriage Maker, has a lot to say about the successful transitioning of single people becoming married people. Success is written all over the blueprints. We just have to know how to put these formulas into practice.Enjoy now, LOVE and MARRIAGE for A LIFETIME, two volumes under one cover.

With so much going on in today's world, there is no longer greater time than now for preteens and young adults to learn, perhaps for the first time or maybe just to be reminded of, the stories that graced the pages of the book of Genesis. The Men of Genesis brings the young reader into the lives of the men whose faith in the Lord sustained them through various, some unimaginable, hardships. these were men who believed in God, desired to obey His commands, sacrificed much but did so for His glory, not for the satisfaction of or acceptance by their fellow humans. Much can be learned from them.The Men of Genesis was written for young readers to get acquainted with God's handiwork in the first six days of earth's creation. They will read about God's blessings bestowed on a man named Noah who believed in and obeyed God. And it was that-his faith-that saved him and his family. Following Noah are the stories of Abraham and God's covenant with him, Abraham's son Isaac and his wife Rebecca and their struggles with favoritism, the difference that went on between brothers Jacob and Esau, and the beautiful story of Joseph who successfully overcame the betrayal of his brothers nearly two thousand years before the birth of Jesus Christ who would also victoriously overcome the betrayal of His own people.As the reader turns the pages, he or she will be reminded of God's immense love for His people-His desire to have a relationship with those who truly seek Him, yesterday and today.The Men of Genesis is a book that details the strength and perseverance of our ancestors and provides the first glimpse of a truly loving God.

Religious freedom is not something found the world over. It is particularly not evident in Iran where religious persecution takes place against the Bahá'í, the country's second largest religion. What's remarkable is so many in this minority group are successful in spite of the obstacles that come with this type of discrimination. Author Khalil Nikkhessal is one such example. By his own admission, it just wasn't very easy. A Flame of Fire is his story of perseverance.

Mark and his men boarded their rafts with the remaining load of high grade cocaine from a cartel in Colombia. Mark was happy. He was crossing the river for the last time."I'll be seeing you in about a month, Don Narciso," Mark lied.Mark found a place on the raft to sit amongst the bricks of cocaine. The dope was wrapped with surgeon masking tape.Mark never looked back.In the meantime, Don Narciso's men set the trap. They were not too eager to intercept the load of cocaine under the cover of the vega on the American side. They were familiar with the routes taken by illegal aliens. Narciso's men followed a familiar maze of trails made by the feral hogs that fed on tender roots at night and during daylight snoozed under the shade of the jaras and carrizales. The fear in their eyes glowed when fireflies shined only to disappear and appear elsewhere. Even the murmer of the river's swift current could not soothe the fear Don Narciso's men were experiencing. It was not so smart of Dan Narciso to double-cross Mark Balbuena. The young man was crazy and violent. But, they had to follow orders or else.-an excerpt from On Both Sides of the River

A guide about how to weave spiritually into real-world experiences by following 12 basic, manageable laws.The word "mystic" often brings to mind a person who lives outside society in order to maintain his rarified state. However, Olesky (Astrology and Consciousness, 1995, etc.) writes that a mystic way of being can enhance every aspect of normal human existence-from childbirth to creative expression to simple tasks such as tidying a workspace or watering plants in a garden. His manual lay outs universal laws he has identified (and followed) as guideposts for spiritually connected living. The laws correlate with the 12 zodiac signs, which Olesky has eloquently expanded to embody the full range of flesh-and-blood experience. For example, the possession-focused earth sign Taurus embodies the Law of Survival, while the expansive sign of Sagittarius correlates with the Law of Abundance. (Other laws touch on Creativity, Love, Harmony, Transcendence and other principles). However, this is no mere astrological guide: Olesky fleshes out the principle behind each law before touching on the astrological correlation and explains the consequences of "not aligning" with each law. The book never becomes dry or preachy; Olesky draws on his own experiences as well as those of his family, clients and teachers to breathe life into each law and highlight the laws' relevance and achievability. The result is an eminently readable, heartfelt and soulful manual, graced by Olesky's wisdom as well as quotations and ideas from spiritual teachers across the centuries.

This is a reminder book from the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testament conformation. This idea came to me from God, and this is the way, I was led to do the book to get people back to reading the Bible Gods Words little at a time. People need to see and know how serious sin is, for sin is dangerous. Jesus Christ came and gave His life for sin, so that we can repent and be saved and live without sin and know what sin will do for us and where sin will send us.Sin will take you where you don't really want to go. Sin will make you stay longer than you really wanted to stay. Sin will make you pay more than you really wanted to pay.The wage of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord. To let the people, know how serious sin is, it doesn't matter who you are or how much money you may have. If you are living in sin and die, you will spend eternal life in Hell to be cast into the lake of fi re. This life is temporary, but our life after death is eternal.Where will you spend your eternal life?

After speaking from my heart and providing my husband with my real feelings. I could see from the expressions on his face that his ego had just been shattered into pieces. He never had to suffer from knowing my love could vanish away at an instance due to his cheating behaviors. I never expressed feelings of entrapment in our marriage either. And I sure didn't express my thoughts of us going nowhere. I would just sit back and let him do him. But to be honest, my marriage for years has reminded me daily of a demolition ball swinging into a building. And once the ball made contact, all the bricks of the structure came tumbling down not knowing where they would land. The only difference is, these bricks in my marriage landed right where they were supposed to. Leaving Derrick and I trapped in a pile of broken people and situations trying to squirm our way out. But unfortunately, because our structure was destructed by a ball, we can't get rid of. We can't do anything but accept a reality of staying trapped, right in the pile of rubbish we put ourselves in. Better yet, we may even have to push and maneuver ourselves around for the very people we said we loved but showed them different. It may even get so hectic, that our marriage may look to be going in the wrong direction. But could it actually allow us to live happily ever after? Who's to say. Maybe or maybe not! So, we think!
