Have you ever asked, "God, why is this happening to me?" What if God answered your question with the reasons and purpose behind your adversity? Storms eventually come to every person; no one is immune to tragedy, heartbreak, grief, or seemingly insurmountable adversity. Terminal illness, tragic accidents, unexpected job loss, personal betrayal, divorce, financial ruin, premature death-all are part of this wonderful thing called life. Deck Time with Jesus encourages readers to sail with the necessary faith to approach every crisis as Jesus did-from a place of peace and rest on the boat's deck while riding out the storm. Stevens identifies five primary categories of life storms and the purposes behind them. By reviewing how several Biblical characters faced adversity, as well as relatable current-day testimonies, readers are better equipped to navigate their own stormy seas. As you experience the swaying deck of your terrifying storm, grab your deck pillow, snuggle up so close to Jesus you hear and feel His heartbeat, and rest.

Bill Gates is an American business magnate, investor, author, philanthropist, humanitarian, and principal founder of Microsoft Corporation. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect, while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014. In 1975, Gates and Paul Allen launched Microsoft, which became the world's largest PC software company. Gates led the company as chief executive officer until stepping down in January 2000, but he remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect for himself. In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which was established in 2000. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie and Craig Mundie. He stepped down as chairman of Microsoft in February 2014 and assumed a new post as technology adviser to support the newly appointed CEO Satya Nadella. Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. He has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive. This opinion has been upheld by numerous court rulings. Since 1987, Gates has been included in the Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people, an index of the wealthiest documented individuals, excluding and ranking against those with wealth that is not able to be completely ascertained. From 1995 to 2017, he held the Forbes title of the richest person in the world all but four of those years, and held it consistently from March 2014 - July 2017, with an estimated net worth of US$89.9 billion as of October 2017. However, on July 27, 2017, and since October 27, 2017, he has been surpassed by Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, who had an estimated net worth of US$90.6 billion at the time. Later in his career and since leaving Microsoft, Gates pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors. He donated large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2009, Gates and Warren Buffett founded The Giving Pledge, whereby they and other billionaires pledge to give at least half of their wealth to philanthropy. The foundation works to save lives and improve global health, and is working with Rotary International to eliminate polio. As of February 17, 2018, Gates had a net worth of $91.7 billion, making him the second-richest person in the world, behind Bezos.

2022 Selah Awards and Director's Choice FinalistDo you struggle with intimacy with God? How do we get to know God? Once we get to know Him personally, how do we develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? The struggle of finding and enjoying increasing intimacy with God is real. From birth, each person inherits a God-shaped vacuum only He can fill. Once a personal relationship with Him is established, every child of God faces two deep desires: a longing for deeper intimacy with Him or the desire for freedom from whatever prevents it. But no one is immune from the struggle of finding and maintaining intimacy with God.Does God truly want intimacy with me or does He only get close to certain people?As the Almighty, Sovereign God, why would He want to have anything to do with insignificant me?Is intimacy with God even attainable? I've tried several times, yet nothing seems to work-nothing changes.How can we resist God's compelling love and desire for intimacy with us? What else are we waiting for before yielding and running into His embrace? What prevents us from starting and nurturing intimate time in His presence? God's Secret Place answers such questions with insights from Scripture and through dissecting human relationships. It also inspires the pursuit of nearness with God, identifies four levels of closeness with Him, and reveals the characteristics of those who find and cherish such intimacy. Stevens encourages readers to run to God's secret place-to commit themselves to the pursuit of intimacy with Him. Then, to remain there. We find rest in His presence by presenting ourselves before Him, quieting ourselves from distractions, hearing His whisper, and sensing His heart. He awaits us there.
