One can easily mourn the current condition of the institution the world calls "the church." We live in a season of great division, and as Abraham Lincoln quoted from the teaching of Jesus, "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Sin abounds in the church! Jesus came to save and transform addicts, fornicators, and murderers. He came to set captives free, not to make them comfortable continuing within the bonds of their captivity. The New Testament abounds with thoughts of Jesus coming back for a bride (His Church) who is radiant, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish but holy and blameless. If Jesus were to return today, He might find a remnant like that, but I wonder how many church-going people might be left behind because they have not been prepared by apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to be built up in unity of faith until we all reach the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. I am excited as I write this book. The Lord has shown me three major truths of the Coming Great Awakening which He calls His Church to. First is the unfulfilled mandate given to humans when Adam and Eve were told to exercise dominion over the earth. Second is restoration of that mandate through the Great Commission. Third is God's equipping through the ascension gifts outlined in Ephesians Chapter Four. If and when Believers put these three truths together in action, the Great Awakening will be upon us and God's mandate to mankind will finally be fulfilled as the children of God manifest.

God wants to use Holidays to Shape Your Life and Transform Your Future! Unfortunately for many, holidays lead to frustration because they totally miss God''s original intent. Holidays in the church, if observed, are often more worldly than spiritual. Form has replaced function; what God intended to be a means of grace has become routine and even burdensome to many.Holidays is a book that will enlighten our understanding about "Christian" holidays like Christmas and Easter, some Hebrew holidays like Passover and even "secular" holidays like Father''s and Mother''s Day. As Pastor Dr. Carr has preached for over forty years, he struggled to find something "pleasing" and new to feed the flock, as they observed the same holidays year after year. The old sermons didn''t cut it and new ones were hard to develop-until he looked to the Lord and discovered God''s original intent for each holiday.God wants to open a great treasury of overlooked events in our calendars. These events are life changing and empowering if and when they are understood from God''s Word and plan for mankind. This book will blow the trumpet over the church, calling it back to essential doctrines, in order to release Believers into full Kingdom mandate.

Light in the Darkness was conceived during a shocking and challenging time of uncertainty-when it seemed that all of life was altered overnight. Everything we took for granted was stripped, lockdowns enforced and fear of an unseen enemy relentlessly propagated. Church doors were shut and worship gatherings suspended threatening the very strength, hope, and vitality of Christ followers everywhere. Dr. Pastor Carr was concerned for his people as he launched a "Thought for the Day" email campaign. When life and media draw attention to everything that has or may go wrong, it is easy to lose hope. As soon as he began to encourage his people, their mailing list doubled, proving light shines brightest in the darkest times. The main lesson in a time when change is inevitable: God never changes-He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! When we focus on the Good News of the Gospel, we realize nothing is impossible for God, we ARE able to resolutely remain in hope and discover how God wants to use us to bring restoration to our families and communities.
