Our Journey tells the story of our experiences while navigating the heart transplant process.

"We're doing everything possible," the doctor would say at times to the parents as he continued the resuscitation efforts on their little girl. Expect the unexpected when you are a medical professional or a first responder. We clock into work and treat those who are sick. We see all types of death at every age. Added to that stress is the ever-changing demands of those who make and enforce regulations that govern the way that we practice. We are in it to win it for our patients. For the past twenty seven years, I work as a respiratory therapist. I clock in, work my best, then clock out and try to bury and forget the stress from my work day. But you don't forget, the memories of trauma are rude, and they will emerge again when you least expect it. Inside are actual stories of births, deaths, COVID 19, and more, bringing awareness of what we see and do. Can we truly ever clock out and heal?

If you want to make purposeful life decisions that will bring you health, satisfaction, joy, peace, growth, success, and certainly a lot less headaches, Coach Daniela's book is for you!We've all made decisions in life that led to regret and disappointment. My goal is to help you understand that living a healthy life is not only based on what we eat. Our well-being is based on the decisions we make daily. A legitimately healthy life depends on a circle of daily choices that revolve around a single common good, that of obtaining a satisfying and abundant life. Our physical health and well-being does not only depend on our food choices but goes far beyond that. Every one of our daily decisions affects it, whether through our professional, financial, relationships, or spiritual choices. The way we think, how we dominate our emotions and actions--all play an important role in our health. Many decisions may seem to help us get what we want more quickly and easily but, in the long run, will bring us regret, sadness, anxiety, and bitterness. That is why we must always try to decide not by impulse, but with wisdom and preferably with God's guidance.But Coach Daniela Carlos has some good news. It is possible to make better decisions in life. In Decisions with a Purpose, you will learn powerful Bible-based strategies and real-life experiences to help you make assertive choices and give you a real purpose for a lifetime.

Ever wonder what God can do? He can do more than we can imagine, both big and small, to anyone and everyone, short and tall.?Alguna vez te has preguntado que puede hacer Dios? El puede hacer mas de lo que podemos imaginar, tanto grande como pequeno, con cualquiera y con todos, bajo y alto.

Vestine shares her story, both to inspire others to overcome hardships and to warn people of the destruction that comes from hatred when it is allowed to spread.

What do you classify as a miracle? I hope you will know that my book is about the miracles I have experienced--unbelievable ones. Yes, it is hard for me to believe it, but I believe it's because it happened to me.My prayer is that you will know that Jesus still works miracles. I am a walking miracle. I hear I do not look like what I have been through. Praise God.(I want God to get the glory from my story.) I have had a lot of tests, trials, and tribulations in my seventy-one years of life. But in order to have a testimony, you need to have a test. God knows I have had test after test. I do have a testimony--I am still here in spite of the death sentences that were on me (not twice, but three times) (but God).Everybody goes through things, but some are not death sentences like mine were. I will never give up and I can't give in. Never will I turn back. No, no, no. God has been too good to me. I want to share my story because hopefully it will help someone along the way. They could say, "If she made it through, I, too, can." I know God wants me to share this story. Hopefully it will inspire you.When I was going through my test, I was never afraid, although it could have been the end of my life, I am so grateful it wasn't. I stuck to God's Word, kept repeating them to myself over and over. God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love, power, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). He also said in his Word, "Fear not for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). I also repeated Psalm 23:4 often, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." So many scriptures kept me looking unto the hills from which cometh my help because I knew my help came from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. This scripture would enter my thought process really often. And as Psalm 118:17 says, "I shall live and not die and proclaim God's glory and what the Lord has done" to give me this marvelous testimony.If you are going through something, be encouraged and know that God is faithful, and he takes care of his own.

The great urgency that gave birth to this work is in fact the lack of a single accurate translation of the Greek book of Mark in the English-speaking world, though by far, plenty of new translations had been made but the same mistakes of the older ones were repeated.Based upon the Authorized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate Version of the New Testament Greek Text (1904, 1912), which is an extremely important scholarly achievement being drawn from Byzantium and one of the most authoritative forms of the Greek New Testament text, for it is based entirely upon Byzantine lectionaries' manuscripts, that been used in the Greek-speaking churches through the centuries, this accurate translation of Mark's Gospel, as presenting the most accurate English translation of the Greek Mark's Gospel, intends to provide the reader with a comprehensible reading of the earliest scripture narrative account of Jesus's life and teachings truly meaningful, unveiling what is believed to be secrets in Mark's Gospel and, simultaneously, bridging the gap between scholar and layperson.

Walking Your Vision University teaching is systematic theology.There are 195 countries in which we will expand this training over the period of five to ten years. The above paragraph is the summation of our mission statement.

The Last Christmas Tree is a story of putting Jesus's "golden rule" as presented in Matthew 7:12, "Therefore all things what so ever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," into a real-life situation. Matthew, the owner of the Christmas tree lot, connects with a family in need and puts the rule into practice. He sees the needs of John and his family of four, having lost his wife recently, and he decides he can help them as he would like to be helped if the situation were reversed. In part told from the point of view of the last Christmas tree on the lot, the story progresses through the help given by Matthew with his generosity and the joy and assistance it brings to John and his family despite their recent loss. The story is intended to inspire us to treat others as we want to be treated and to help those in need when we can. Although the situation John and his family are in is sad and painful, Matthew's acts of Christian love hopefully alleviate some of the pain of mourning that the family is feeling and inspire them to go on in Christ's love.

What does Coco Chanel have in common with the wife of a noble character found in Proverbs 31? How does the lifestyle of the average French citizen line up with the guidelines for dress, manners, and dining found in Scripture? As Christians, should we eschew the pleasures of life, maintain a dour expression, and stamp out all color and fun? In Julie Marcotte's all-new book, Christian and Chic: The Art of Living with Flair from the Christian Perspective, a close examination compares the mysterious and well-put-together modern French woman with several women from the Bible as well as a few men, including Christ and his disciples. As a mother of three grown daughters, the author describes her search for a way to exemplify and raise her daughters with biblical principles while developing a sense of style and panache that is sometimes lacking inside the Christian community. Full of honest, firsthand, and often hilarious experiences in the country of her husband's French ancestry, the author illustrates how and why a follower of Christ can and should be both Christian and chic.

Decree #1: Emotion Is Weakness.Decree #2: Error Is Unacceptable.Decree #3: Opinion Is Deadly.Her name is H8626-E. On the outside, she lives the normal life of any functioning robot. But on the inside? Well, that's a completely different story. She is a master of hiding, a master of masks. She masks her inability to follow the Three Decrees. She masks her faulty programming from all the other robots. She hides her emotions, errors, and opinions from the Authority. And most of all, though she doesn't know it, she is hidden from herself.But more difficult than any of the plethora of masks she maintains is that she is completely and utterly alone. The ancient humans, long extinct, never had to be alone, but H8626-E did not have that luxury. She was burdened by the unbearable weight of isolation and conformity. She was trapped within herself forever, in a constant state of hiding. Until one day, she meets someone. Someone who will change the trajectory of her life forever. Someone who gives her something more real than anything she has ever known. Someone who causes her to question everything she thought she knew about the world she lives in. And someone who knows her true name.

For over thirty-five years, Gorman John Ruggiero trained child actors. The many productions are represented in this collection of his plays. These works include folktales, mythology, religious stories, and original works that can help children learn some of life's lessons by acting them out on stage.Ruggiero spent many years working with children on the autism spectrum, and many of these plays were performed jointly with typically developing children to great success. This process truly enhanced the communication skills of the child actors, as well as helped develop in them an understanding of autism. Many friendships were created during the rehearsal and performance process as children learned about one another's differences and commonalities.In a world where communication is sorely lacking, Ruggiero believes that physical, emotional, and intellectual expression, found in the performing arts, is crucial for the success in personal and professional relationships. Helping children perform these plays will advance that notion.

With men, it is all about the "Ds." We know some who are deceitful, demanding-- Maybe others are dangerous, disgusting, or drunks. In romance, there are two types of men who stand out-- First, and most plentiful, are the men who desire a woman and dedicate themselves to making her their toy. Second, are the men who devote themselves to one woman and delight in treating her like the Lord's precious princess. This novel is about the second type. The type from which more are needed! A tender, loving man who chooses to follow the teachings of Jesus. He is like a tree planted by streams of water. He devotes his entire self to loving one woman. He delights in her and treats her like the Lord's princess.

This is the story of Reverend Roosevelt Matthews and his beloved wife, Mary, whose work saved many in one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods on Chicago's West Side. But as Roosevelt emphasizes, it's not his story but God's story. In 1952, Roosevelt and Mary came to Chicago from Rolling Fork, Mississippi, as part of the Great Migration of six million Southern Blacks. Shortly after they married, Mary became a sixth-grade Chicago Public School teacher at Faraday Elementary where she taught for thirty years. With his teaching degree and certificate in hand, Roosevelt headed out to the Chicago Board of Education to be assigned the school he would teach in. But God had other ideas. As he walked down his front steps, he heard gunshots and saw troubled youth where gangs and drugs were prevalent. He suddenly came to an abrupt halt; struck with the Lord's call to help these young people. Forgoing a career as a schoolteacher, Roosevelt founded the Albany Youth Center and Albany Baptist Church, which he and Mary ran for the next forty-five years. As one youth center attendee stated, "The gangs in the area did not bother the kids who attended the youth center. They respected the efforts of Reverend Matthews and his wife to make the life of those kids better." With the violence and racism in our country today, the work of Roosevelt and Mary is a big part of the solution. This book documents the "But God" moments where the Lord provided their needs: But God, when Roosevelt went to buy a defunct factory as a place to put his youth center's outdoor basketball court, the owner looked him in the face and said, "I'd rather burn the factory down than sell it to an N-word ". A few months later, Dr. King was assassinated and in the resulting riots the factory was burned to the ground. The factory then became property of the City of Chicago and sold to Roosevelt for a much lower price. But God, teaching Interracial friendship by living in each other's homes, Roosevelt established the Friendship Outreach program between white churches and Albany Baptist Church in 1972. White children came to live with Black families on Chicago's West Side and vice versa. In 2018, one of the original exchange students from Minnesota returned to Albany Church with her own children, continuing this wonderful long-term friendship. But God, Mary got the smooth transition she prayed for after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She never suffered from the ravages of the disease. Looking as beautiful as ever, she played piano in church just three days before she passed from her beloved Roosevelt's loving arms to God's kingdom. But God, as Roosevelt said, "The Lord directed such fine people to help us along the way". One was "Mother" Vera Stephens, who taught Roosevelt and Mary child evangelism. Vera later felt the call to go to Liberia, where she established the Bethesda Christian Mission School that is still inspiring the lives of many children today. In 2011, "Mother" Stephens was posthumously honored for her work by both the president and vice president of Liberia. But God, while Mary and Roosevelt were not able to have biological children, many former pupils, attributing much of their success to "Mom" and "Dad," still call, send letters, and emails. Several have become Bible teachers and ministers themselves while others include a college president and a corporate executive.

Like 3 John 13 says, "I have so much more I could share with you using pen and ink" (concerning excuses for not committing to Christ), but keep in mind these five propositions, Biblical points, and scriptural truths:Everybody has tried, is trying, or will try to use an excuse to justify their wrongdoings.God does not accept excuses of any kind, for Roman 1:20 says, "We are without excuse."Jeremiah 7:3 says, "Amend your ways and your doings."John 5:39 tells us to "search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life."Mark 1:15 would have us "repent, believe the gospel," and quit making useless excuses.

Throughout the book, Princess Gabby completes tasks around the house to gain her mother's attention in the hopes of receiving a new bike. Princess Gabby searches for ways and loopholes to change her mother's response of "Not right now" to yes. Princess Gabby's mother wants to teach her that some things are in your wait and not in your works. Hence, she stresses to her daughter that her answer was never no but "Not right now." I Didn't say No demonstrates a waiting process that we all have to one day experience in life not just as a child or as an adult but also as children of God.
