Are you ever at a loss of words when speaking with God, or not know how or what to talk about? Within these pages you will be inspired to make use of 16 categories of prayer. You will understand that nothing in life makes more common sense than talking to God! "There are some people who write books on prayer but seldom pray. Conversely, there are others who exude a life of prayer but seldom write about it. And there is a third category. This is where William Whitelaw falls under. He writes on prayer because he has lived a life of prayer. For that reason, I highly recommend "Keys to Common Sense Conversations with God." -David D. Ireland, Ph.D., Lead Pastor & Author Raising a Child Who Prays www.DavidIreland.org I have experienced firsthand the incredible passion and natural ability of William to connect with God in prayer. If you want to develop an intimate relationship with God and achieve breakthroughs in prayer, this book is a must read! -Anthony Franklin, Campus Pastor, Christ Church, NJ If an educational institution were doling out honorary degrees for prayer, William would get one, and this book is the fruitful manifestation of his personal, powerful prayer life. I highly recommend you go on the journey with him. -Dr. Robert Perrotti, Pastor, Center Road Baptist Church, West Seneca, NY "It is with joy that I can recommend this book on prayer from Bill Whitelaw. Bill's heart is for the Lord, and he desires to strengthen the Body of Christ. -Larry Wood, Retired Pastor, Valley Baptist Church, Bakersfield, CA William has been a cross denominational Church influencer.

Why was it kept a secret from me? Why didn't someone just tell me? The man that was raising me, he wasn't my biological father. I was around and spoke to my biological father, but I knew him as my cousin's uncle. The family honored my mother's temporary husband's request to keep it a secret. I struggled as a child educationally, later as an adult with fornication, adultery, womanizing, drunkenness, partying, prison, financial instability, as well as raising my son. I was finally convicted of changing my life around. I'm thinking when I become more responsible for my actions, committed to one-woman things will get better, but that wasn't the case. The trials and tribulations that later came from my marriages, exposed the old man in me, that I thought was long gone. God is continuing to help me stay clean as possible, just like a good father does. I am ShaDaroil Weldon Lea, I was born in Washington D.C. on June 19 1963. I was raised in a D.C. suburb called Seat Pleasant, from the age of 7. I graduated from Largo High School in 1981, joined the Army Reserves, worked at the Post Office for 22 1/2 years, started coaching youth sports. I re-dedicated my life to God in 1996, became an ordained Deacon in 1997, licensed minister in 2008, ordained Elder in 2013, which led me to starting my own ministry in 2015, as a Pastor. I've enjoyed working in the Prince Georges County Public School system for the past 16 years, helping guide our youth to a positive life of prosperity. I look forward to continuing my love, faith, service, and commitment to God for the rest of my life. The Broken Legacy stops here, right now.

Judas Iscariot, arguably the most hated man in history. Do we look at him honestly? Do we obey all of God's commands regarding loving our enemies? Was he chosen to betray the Son of God? Aramis Thorn gives us a different view of Judas, still respecting who Jesus and Judas are in a world needing redemption. Why did the Zealot hand the Messiah over to the Priests? Perhaps there is more to it than greed and dissatisfaction. Perhaps there is a story worth hearing from the perspective of this man chosen by God to follow him.

I dedicate this book to dysfunctional families, and to addictions, and to abuse. I wrote this book to be able to help someone to give them courage, in their time of need, that have found there self-walking in despair. And to let you know there is a God, that will never forsake you or leave you. There is a passage in the bible Matthew 11:28-29-30. {''Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.'' {Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.''} Therefore, I dedicate this book to all dysfunction events that has arrived in your life, and you can find help in your time of need. When I look back on my life, I give the glory to God, as I dedicate my life to God, for he has brought me, back from the gates of hell. As you read this book you will see the healing hands of God, that show me his love, and show me how to forgive myself, and to love who I became in Christ Jesus. As you read this book you will see the hurt, the sadness, and the joy, that has arrived from different events in my life. To whom I am today. I am proud, that I am a woman of God. I thank God that he has healed this broking vessel, God give me my life back. May this book bless your life, as we, bring our life to Christ you will find rest, and the blessing that he has for you and me.

We expect positive change from leadership of various organizational contexts. Yet, division, whether intentionally influenced or unconsciously participated, persists among leaders of the church house, state house, school house, and even family house. Further complicating this is the individual struggle for leaders to be self-aware of controllable versus uncontrollable factors of their leadership. Reconciling the Faith and Reason of Ethical Leadership is a synergy of spiritual testimony and academic research utilizing a qualitative self-study by Dr. Charles Thomas III. This framework is used to propose a praxis for developing leaders who have genuinely ethical impact through proficiently influencing positive change. Through the reflective analysis of his practical experiences as a secondary school teacher and coach who is preparing for educational leadership roles, Dr. Thomas introduced his theoretical framework for aggregate ethical impact and self-reflective learning for his doctoral degree in 2012. Over the next eight years of his continuous leadership development as implicated according to his theory, Dr. Thomas has holistically refined his contribution of a framework to reconcile the faith and reason of ethical leadership dynamics in a Christian worldview that is applicable to various organizational contexts. His original doctoral project also proposed an implication for the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy to integrate holistic and self-reflective learning concepts in the educational effort to develop self-awareness in ethical leadership impact. Although the specific context for desired positive change in this book are the experiences of an educator in turnaround and reform situations for K-12 schools in urban settings, Dr. Thomas asserts that the general application of this framework to the organizational leadership contexts of ministry, business, government, and even family leaders can indeed enhance society to achieve a vision of optimal positive change and Dr. Charles R Thomas III has professional experiences including independent consulting, non-profit management and secondary teaching and athletics coaching. His research experience in ethics and education began as a Holmes Master of Teaching graduate from LSU where he was also a 3-time SEC Academic Honor Roll football team member and Co-Captain of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. His research interest continued with a dual M.B.A. and Doctor of Educational Leadership degree from TCU resulting in this project. As a husband and father of six, he has also served as a community advocate and parent representative on local and state initiatives on education policy and reform.

From Ashes to Victory To God be the Glory This is the autobiography of my life as it has been transformed by Jesus Christ. I fought fires with water for 37 years on the Phoenix Fire Department. Today, I fight the enemy spiritually with the Word of God. I pray this book will encourage and enlighten you to the truth that Jesus died for you because He loves you so very much. Today, as an ordained Pastor who has labored in works of mercy and love, appointed and empowered by Jesus Christ to fight the flames of hell with God's word. This flame is very real. It is against Satan's plan to destroy your marriage, your children, your health, your work and finances. But Jesus will give the power for this never-ending battle. That's the reason it is so important to ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and invite Him into your heart. "The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God and salvation for every person who believes," (Romans 1:16). Get to know Him, serve Him and love Him. There is no better life than this. Choose Jesus-Choose Life.

This book focusses on a doctrine widely accepted by Christians, as well as other, that does not agree with the Word of God. It reveals who started this teaching, how it spread, and how it brings dishonor to Jesus Christ and all He accomplished through His death and resurrection. It ignores the fact that if the old covenant with Israel had not been judged and ended, we would not now be living in Christ under the new covenant. We would not be saved from our sins, and Israel would still be God's chosen means of bringing light to the world rather than the Church that consists of all nations, tribes, and tongues.

Have you ever had Scripture explained to you, but the explanation still seemed to have holes in it? Have you ever been judged by someone who used Scripture to defend their position? You may have even wondered how God could support such behavior when it seems to go against His own character. Scripture is often taught outside of context, creating traditional teachings that conflict with what God wants us to learn. Deeper at the Surface takes Scripture and returns it to its context. From tithing, to divorce and remarriage, Josh Coverett tears down years of traditional misinterpretations and shows us that Scripture is always deeper at the surface of context. Scripture is too important. We cannot afford to get it wrong. When it is misunderstood, we can inadvertently place burdens and shame on others, that should not be. So, dive in! It's time to bring Scripture home. It must be released from the depths of traditional misinterpretation, and returned to the greater depths of context. No longer should we carry the burdens of misguided traditions. Let's let Scripture speak for itself. It's time to resurface! Josh Coverett serves as the pastor of Renew Church in Saint Joseph, Missouri. He is deeply committed to helping people learn and understand Scripture the way God intended for us to see it. His books are designed to help others experience the Bible without a traditional lens. He grew up under the umbrella of conservative religion, but has since learned the value of a relationship with Christ, outside the pressures of religious obligation. Josh believes that religion can often times place a heavy burden on people to live a certain way, however, a relationship with Christ offers freedom. Josh has a passion to connect people to the heart of God. He and his wife Amy serve together, with their children, helping others grow in the love of God.

After overhearing a disturbing conversation between her husband and his acquaintances, Sophia must acknowledge a truth she's been dodging for some time: she and her children are no longer safe. Not in this home. Not with this man. The stakes are too high. The threats, too far-reaching. Will she ignore her fear and stay put until a clear plan of escape emerges? Or will she exercise what little faith she's uncovered and make a run for it, praying she'll find help along the way? Neither option soothes her troubled heart. Neither guarantees they'll come out unscathed on the other side. And neither quiets her biggest fear of all - How will she ever escape with her life - and the lives of her children - intact? Sheila Daniel is a wife, a mom, and a Mim. She and her husband, Brad, will soon celebrate thirty-four years of marriage. She has had the privilege of homeschooling all five of their children, three of whom have graduated into the next phase of life. She joined the "grandma" club six years ago and is loving it!

Do You Believe In God is about believing in the promises of God. It is a contrast between Believing in God and Believing God. The question we will focus on throughout this study is Not, "Do you believe IN God," but "DO YOU BELIEVE GOD?" There's a big difference between those two. The problem is, that most people who believe in God, don't believe God. Even those who say, "Yes, I believe in God." "I have a relationship with God." "I'm a Christian." don't really believe God. Why do I say that? Because if they truly believed God, their behavior would reflect that belief. What I'm going to be challenging readers with throughout this series of lessons is going from simply believing IN God to BELIEVING God.

Jimmy Joe Robinson, my uncle, is a retired senior who spent forty plus years dedicated to teaching, counseling and coaching hundreds of students and athletes. He did so, with an insatiable love for the Lord. In fact, he thrives in the Lord every day. One would know he's coming by the same warm greeting he shares with most anyone he greets. As well, he doesn't fail to add the same as he bids them farewell; "Lord bless you". When he and I began our collaboration, having lost my own mother to Alzheimer's, I was completely taken back by his incredible memory. Frankly, his mind was like a theater, especially relating to these particular stories. Our journey would begin as Jimmy Joe expressed "there were times when the Lord whispered their names", reeling him back to decades long past. So many of the players, games, other teams and coaches seem to live inside his heart. Primarily, this story is a collection of those short stories, featuring various players, teammates, games/strategies, injuries, victories and losses alike. Finally, having entered into his sunset years and a widower, a long-lost love from his past would be rekindled. So striking the blessing of the two reconnecting after 60 plus years. recall writing poems as early as eleven years old. All along through my teens and early twenties, I spent time writing song lyrics, music and poetry. Then, in 1979 I would self-publish a philosophy/poetry book; 'Just Think...' For the next couple of decades my path was filled with careers, children and grandchildren. After a long writing sabbatical, I was honored to lead with one of my poems in the 'Timeless Voices', published by The International Library of Poetry, edited by Howard Ely, that was published in 2006. A few years later I would be asked to join a Christian website and to share a monthly column. I gladly agreed and 'Alana's Corner' was first published in September of 2009 and would run monthly through November of 2011, when the owner and publisher, friend and brother in Christ passed after an extended illness. Finally, In 2015 I had my own faith based mini-bio published, 'When Faith Met Grace'. That project was completed while I was recovering from late stage three cancer. Today, I'm overjoyed to have assisted my uncle Jimmy Joe in reviving his experiences. With Holy Spirit as our guide, praying his memoirs will spring back to life with the turn of each page.

Although the statement, "God moves in mysterious ways", is not a biblical statement, He really does move in mysterious ways! My stories will demonstrate how God truly does use the weak and foolish to confound the strong and the wise. He can't get more mysterious than that. You'll see God willing to and capable of using anyone. In Scripture, "when God says "Go," He is putting out an invitation to "Come with Me". Although I have come short of always doing the right thing, and have been far from perfect, both physically and spiritually, I determined to still chose to follow God regardless. Although I purposed to exercise great faith and attempted a close walk with God, I did not always trust God. I didn't always treat my wife in a way pleasing to God. My methods and priorities were not always correct. Despite all my "tonterias", God still chooses to use me. These stories are rich examples of God's love, mercy, forgiveness and power. My goal is that they provide hope and inspiration. These stories will give you a clear view of the "hand of God" moving behind the scenes. You'll learn to trust God even though outward circumstances dictate otherwise. You'll see how God uses what appears to be a hopeless life to actually advance His Kingdom. Be encouraged...He desires to use yours to do the same. Shalom I was born in Bisbee, AZ, and enlisted in US Navy 1972 as an Airman for six years.

I have been active in fifteen "Short Missions Trips" to South and Central America; Africa; Romania; and Mexico. I have been a Christian for forty-three years with many failures under my belt. Currently I am attending Shiloh Christian Ministries with Senior pastors Erick and Raquel Villalvazo as our pastors and covering from 2016 to present. At the present, I am in the school of learning obedience, God's mercy, forgiveness and power. I have a strong desire to share my Journey with anyone that can relate with my story, so that they can be inspired, encouraged and be determined to get up when knocked down, to serve our LORD with vision and purpose.

Lluvias de estrellas: Poemas de fe, esperanza y amistad es una recopilación de poemas que a través de los años he ido escribiendo. En ellos considero como la fe y la esperanza me han ayudado a vivir. En ellos expreso mi fe en Dios y la esperanza de que la humanidad encuentren el camino para construir el Reino de Dios. Una experiencia que desde nuestra generosidad donde la justicia, la equidad y el amor nos ayuden en la edificación y montaje de la experiencia humana que Jesús predicó. Además, reflexiono en estos poemas sobre experiencia con el dolor y la enfermedad que desde el año 2000 me ha tocado vivir como parte de varias enfermedades crónicas. En estos pensamientos expreso mi gratitud ante la incertidumbre y fragilidad de mi vida. Reafirmado la gracia y el amor que he recibido de parte del Señor y de las personas que con su amistad y apoyo han contribuido a mi vivir en esperanza.
