In His Image takes the reader on a beautiful journey from conception to birth. Each stage of the development of a baby in their mother's womb is described in a fun and rhyming way. The rhymes promote the learning of an inquisitive child by including them in the process of development, by having them imagine what it was like while they grew in their mother's womb. Accompanying each stage of development is a Bible verse fitted perfectly to that stage to showcase the love that our Father has for each and every one of His children. The miracle of a growing and developing baby is inherently proclaimed in His Word and will forever be written on our hearts with love as we are all created uniquely and perfectly in His image.For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.-Psalms 139:13-14 (NIV)

My Journey Through Grieving presents a variety of heartfelt and deeply personal stories by people who have traveled the road of grieving--a journey that we all must take at some point in our lifetime. Whether one grieves a little or a lot is greatly determined by the nature and closeness of the relationship that one shares with another person, and having someone to share the grief struggle with is often very helpful. Tragically, when one loses their closest companion in life, they also lose the one person most equipped to help them through life's hardships, and this only serves to multiply their pain.Reaching out to others can be difficult; but having someone to talk to and share memories with, following a loss, may prove to be the most beneficial thing of all. Sometimes the overwhelming nature of grief is such a heavy burden that professional counseling should be considered. Other times, a person might work through the process with the assistance of family and friends. Either way, the process will require time and personal commitment before the fog of grief will begin to dissipate, and true healing can be realized.How one lives, what they believe, along with the amount of faith they have in themselves, God, and humanity can play a large role in moving forward along grief's journey. Thankfully, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit will always be there to provide the guidance needed.May this book point you in a direction that will help heal your broken heart.

This book was written in the hopes of helping, inspiring, and encouraging someone.

The concept of Manifest Destiny has been highly misinterpreted. Such items as the Cherokee Trail of Tears, the US as the hemisphere policeman, exploitation of Pacific Island Nations, and the list goes on, have been, and continue to be blamed on alleged Christian-based Imperialism.Hence this book focuses on setting the record straight, showing via a historical and political analysis how this misinterpretation has occurred. It begins with a focus on the initial premises dating to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. From there comes a central focus on the Cherokee environment setting the stage for the Trail of Tears, followed by US continentalization, all within the context of the political-religious environment of the times and setting.In the post-Civil War period the focus shifts to the framework of the emerging Darwinian era, and its impact on the sociopolitical environment through World War I and Woodrow Wilson's vow to "Make the World Safe for Democracy." This with a focus on Wilson's explicit reference to the Darwinian base of his policy.From there traced is the link leading to the official announcement of the New World Order in 1989 by US president H. W. Bush and Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. By this juncture, it is shown, the national philosophical foundation has succumbed to an existentialist-linked framework which impacted even much of the Christian Church, a situation which has expanded its reach through the time of this publication, underpinned via the expanding power of the United Nations.Finally, we reach the key purpose of the book, to demonstrate the positive impact which a reinterpretation of Manifest Destiny, in its true and original context, could have on our time, in light of the current national and international strategic scene.

Christian Mystical Theology: A Way of Life. Mystical theology as a way of life is Bible based. It includes single and married laypeople and the religious who were mystics known throughout centuries up to contemporary times. Mystics are messengers into the Christian and human communities from their divine encounter with Jesus.In chapter 1, "Committed Eros," Patricia writes about her dual marriages--her human marriage to Richard F. Frisch, fifty-three years, and her mystical marriage with Jesus, thirty-five years. "Committed Eros" shows her longing for faithful community development. Part 1 chapters also explain mystical theology, the language of the mystics, references for the enrichment, and in-depth exploration of mystics from the Bible up to contemporary mystics and the development of the Trinity.Part 2 flows from part 1 with examples from the Gospels and the Christian history of committed mystical friendships through the presence of Jesus. A unique understanding of Jesus and his mother's relationship to the incarnation becomes the basis for the following chapters regarding committed mystical, agape friendships. Church leadership, intellectual pursuits, and everyday life are finding balance and harmony. Harmony is rising through the mystics, contemplatives, and ordinary people who enjoy peace through prayerful participation in contemporary mystical theology. The book ends with the hope that everyone finds ways to share their prayer journey with the communities.

Do You Know the Process of a Victorious Christian Lifestyle?To be more than a conqueror calls for a spirit that infuses a royal nature into the soul and body. Your challenge is to live your purpose in accordance with God's will and move in harmony. This makes you rule as king and priest in the spiritual realm for your life to be meaningful and productive.When the spirit reigns in your life, a spiritual nature flows through you as your body becomes sensitive to producing the fruit of the spirit in a physical sense and practical way.

This is the essence of your victory. Therefore, align your life to God's salvation plan. Pull the trigger now.This book will build your faith, encourage the downcast, restore the broken spirit, energize your salvation.

My motive for writing this book is to encourage the 30 percent of genuine Bible-reading believers to stand fast and on the word of God (Galatians 5:1). And to also encourage vigorously the 70 percent of nonreading Bible Christians to take the further step of faith to realize the fuller revelation and benefits of salvation like in Isaiah 61:1-7 and Isaiah 58, for example. For without this next step of faith, mountains would not come down, obstacles will not be removed, and onlookers will continue to look at Christianity as weak and lean.My working continuously from fifteen as a schoolteacher to now at seventy as a substance abuse counselor, pastor, child support specialist, workshop instructor proved it to me. Delivered from twenty-five years of alcoholism and its detriments proved it to me. Living unscathed with dangerous criminals in seven correctional facilities, including Rikers Island, proved it to me. Watching individuals in prison threaten to kill me and beat Jesus out of my ---- and then became my friend proved it to be so. Delivered from low self-esteem and clinophobia proved it to be so. Going for 1 percent in math to graduating magna cum laude at forty-four proved it to be so. Working on Wall Street for twenty years in and out of the mix unscathed proved it be so. Delivered from two cancers without surgeries and be handsomely paid proved it to be so. Having enormous peace and security and hope in Christ proves it to be so. Watching all of my bills disappear by standing and applying the word of God as Joshua 1:8 states proves it to be so.As one inmate counselor once told me, "Christianity works for those who work it, not for those who don't take the time to prove it so." Jesus Christ said this to be true, and I believe it because it works for me and followers like me with no regrets in every situation of life.

In the sight of God, precious they all are, no matter from where they come, whether near or far. Innocent and unknowing, vulnerable too--in many ways, God made them the same. He knew just what to do. We need to cover them in prayer and keep a watchful eye. Some are very bold and brave; many things they will try. Often they don't know the dangers ahead to face.

So here's a short story to guide children along the way. Teaching them to be safe in this world, we should teach something new each day.Remember your young and carefree days?

We challenged each other to see just what each could do.Now we watch our children do what we had done. How do we keep them safe while letting them have fun?This is a colorful book of safety for the adventurous child, encouraging their imagination and teaching reality all the while.

Thoughts on Daniel begins a voyage that takes us from the great exile of the Jews in 597 BCE to a small island in the Aegean Sea called Patmos. What began as an in-depth study of Daniel and his prophecies soon morphed into a journey of discovery that led to Revelation and those things that were shown to John. In my studies, I have become convinced that Daniel and Revelation are bound by a thin red thread. The object of my studies finds a single objective--to bring a message to the church that will give light to future events not only for the church but also for the world. There are many things in Scripture that are hard to understand. For the untutored, it is a constant struggle to bring to light the unknown secrets--secrets that are hidden in plain view for those who do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)

"Get up! Grab a pen and write this down!"I glanced at the blue numbers on the clock next to me. They read 3:00 a.m. I tend to have difficulty sleeping, either I can't fall asleep, or I wake up numerous times throughout the night for no particular reason. So when I heard God wake me up that morning only to tell me to grab a pen, I did what any crazy person would do, I told Him I'd do it in the morning while rolling over, tucking myself back under the covers. Now I consider myself to be somewhat of a stubborn person. But as I've discovered, God is much more persistent than I could dream of being! My resistance lasted all of two minutes before I had a pen on the notebook paper, asking Him what to do next. He then told me to write about snotty tissues. I crinkled my nose, said that was disgusting, but obeyed anyway. Words poured from my pen all over that blue-striped paper. This pattern of Him waking me up at the wee morning hour of three o'clock continued for months. Now I am not a writer. I didn't fare well in language arts in high school, and I never took English in college. The words in this book may not be proper, but I am beyond proud of them! God gave me these stories. I have no idea why, but I pray that they touch at least one life. I hope someone will get to know Jesus through these words. If only one person realizes how much Jesus loves them because of learning of Him from this book, then every single 3:00 a.m. wake-up call would have been worth it. I pray Jesus blesses you today. He loves you!

Fresh Ideas for Revelation: From Genesis to the End presents the reader with a new and fascinating perspective for the much-analyzed biblical text--Revelation. In these pages, you will be taken on a tour of the tabernacle that was constructed according to instructions passed down from God to Moses, as well as journeying through the prophecies recorded in Daniel, both of which will serve as a blueprint for unraveling the prophecies of Revelation.

The reader will travel deep into the Old and the New Testament to gain a more meaningful understanding of prophecy and the role of the Holy Spirit, as well as confronting a new definition of what it means to be part of the body of Christ.
