How does one handle a sudden, dramatic accident-an accident that takes the life of one's five-year-old son? In this true story, meet the Smucker Amish parents who live in Lancaster Co., Pa., and share their story of pain, shock, stress, doubting, and love of sympathetic family and friends, but most importantly the hope that one can experience in facing a heartbreaking loss.

This short read and Bible Study & Reflection is intended to unpack and instigate a re-thinking of seven common misunderstandings ("Things") that many new and renewed believers struggle with as they begin to dedicate, or re-dedicate, themselves to opening their hearts to God's amazing and deep love. As we take this journey, we open the way to following the plan God has for each of our lives. If I had understood these "7 Things" sooner, I would have found myself moved by the Holy Spirit to more intentionally share the most incredible story ever told. Like many, the likelihood is that I did know and just needed our loving Father to bear with me as I took the long way around to the beautiful journey that this book reveals from cover to cover. In this book I share the Biblical truths about "7 Things" that the world has tricked people into believing the exact opposite about. Understanding these truths from a Biblical perspective will offer opportunity in finding your way to a fully intimate and fully trustworthy relationship with the One True God. My prayer is that as you read these words and the confirming Word of God you will find the courage to believe in the ultimate love God has for you, that you discover how He truly sees you, and that you continue or begin to move towards the plan He has for your life to further the Kingdom, too. His plan is good and will give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). If you haven't asked Jesus into your heart to be the Lord and Savior of your life, conquering the sin that has ruled over you, do it now...don't wait! When you do, the words written here will make so much more sense. In His love...Enjoy!

As the title suggests, this book is simply about faith, which is always a NOW kind of belief or knowing, or it is not genuine faith at all. Faith must not be confused with hope. Hope is relegated to the future; it is a desire for favorable future outcome. Faith is not about the future, but the present. Faith is either NOW or it is never! Faith cannot be worked or effected in the future, but only right NOW. Faith must be appropriated and applied at the present moment when it is being exercised. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes through reading or listening to the Word of Christ.The Rhema-Word of Christ produces real, active, and effectual faith in the hearts of the hearers. That is one of the mysterious properties of the Word of God--it produces faith. How it does this is, to some degree, a mystery. It just does! NOW FAITH IS tells you how to obtain and release effective faith--faith that works--in your life!Each of the 18 chapters discusses the various types and levels of faith delineated in the Bible, how to increase faith in your life, as well as matters directly affecting faith: Saving Faith, Weak/Feeble Faith, Effective Faith, Strong Faith, Mountain-Moving Faith, Wonder-Working Faith, Great Faith, Faith for Healing and Deliverance, The Faithless, Obtaining and Activating Faith, The Testing of Our Faith, Hindrances To Genuine Faith, Walking by Faith, Faith Without Works, Contending for the Faith, and Falling Away from the Faith.The author shares in this book what he has personally learned about faith and putting it to work to produce miracles, signs and wonders over nearly five decades of Dunamis-power-filled ministry wherein he's personally witnessed hundreds of supernatural miracles and deliverances God has performed through him, and to overcome many tests and trials in his own personal life, including a "death sentence" of cancer in which his oncologist told him the first day they met, "Mr. Lambert, I give you four months to live!" Two and a half years have passed since that grim prognosis and his current oncologists tell him the cancer is stabilized and the very large tumor (more than 13 inches wide) has shrunk more than ninety-percent and continuing to shrink daily. He attributes this miraculous process of recovery to three things: God's unfailing love, faith that works, and the prayers of many family and friends who have diligently prayed for him with faith believing!The book's author, Dr. Steven Lambert, has been ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ as an ordained minister since 1976, serving as a pastor, prophet, teacher, Board Certified Doctoral Diplomate Christian counselor, deliverance minister, podcaster and radio broadcaster, narrator, and holds several theological degrees. He is the author of an ever-increasing number of books, published articles, other teaching materials, and is the publisher of Spirit Life Magazine (SpiritLifeMag.com). More information about him and links to his various outreach media is available on his main ministry website at: SLM.org.

Most feel blessed to grow up Amish-but not Rosa. Although she appreciates many aspects of the culture she was raised in, the abuse she suffered at the hands of her own brother and the lack of support she received from the rest of her family ultimately led her down a different path-one that would be characterized by light instead of the darkness that had shrouded her all her life. My Path to Light: How I Escaped the Darkness of an Abusive Amish Childhood paints a comprehensive picture of what it means to be Amish and how her experience was unique-but not for the better. With gut-wrenching honesty and earnest introspection, Rosa Miller opens up about the highs and lows of her upbringing, her internal struggle over conflicting beliefs, and how she drew the courage to leave her family behind in pursuit of a brighter future. Set off on the path to spiritual and emotional liberation with Rosa as she vividly describes various facets of Amish lifestyle. Hold her heart in your hands as she bravely discusses the molestation she endured and how she stood up against it to protect her younger female family members. And walk alongside Rosa as she steadfastly commits to following Jesus and using Him as a guide for her life journey. With My Path to Light, you will be inspired to march out of the darkness and into the light, just as Rosa did.

Howard Mowll was the enterprising and indefatigable Archbishop of Sydney from 1934 to 1958. At once robustly Anglican and evangelical in outlook and policy, he set the diocese of Sydney on the course it has followed to the present day. Originating in the Moore College Library Day of 2021, the essays in this book cover previously overlooked and neglected aspects of Mowll's leadership and administration as well as providing new insights into and fresh perspectives on his life and work in Sydney. They also give due attention to the equally remarkable contribution of Mowll's wife, Dorothy. Based on extensive archival research, and paying attention to the context of mid-twentieth century Australia, these essays begin the task of historical assessment by both extending and qualifying the biography provided by Marcus Loane in the immediate aftermath of Mowll's death. Was Mowll one of the two truly great Bishops/Archbishops of Sydney, as Peter Jensen suggests in the Introduction? This book both invites and enables readers to decide for themselves.
