I'm Sorry, God, written by Shera Hastings, is a must-read book about her riveting testimony on how Jesus Christ came into her life and saved her, which resulted in her being radically changed from a worldly, carnal thinking so-called Christian to a devout servant of the Most High King, Jesus Christ! Read how she was able to obtain the free gifts of grace, salvation, and redemption by truly repenting from willfully sinning and idolatry. Nevertheless, she acknowledges her faults to God by not only apologizing for all her sins, but she goes even further by apologizing for what our ancestors did to our beloved Savior, all while undergoing heavy spiritual warfare. She includes an open letter to God in atonement and in great reverence of his grace and mercy in addition to disclosing how the Holy Spirit revealed the one true all-encompassing doctrine. All of this information is for educational purposes only in order to help others build a relationship with our precious and magnificent Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, "Fear not; I am the First and the Last. I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:17-18)That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)
You know that feeling that we have that we are going to be all right no matter what, even until death because we persisted as a constant and didn't just disintegrate at the culmination of dissolutional factors that make up our universe and perilous plane of existence? Well, it has a polarity and, with the right acumen, can be traced to its origin where our neurological transmission signal emits from our Creator's ultimate energy source uninhibited. Gain greater equity in your brain's physiological makeup and grace salvation as we obtain incur appeasement at our Creator's behest.
It sounds silly enough, but Monster likes to make mustard (and eat it too!). In fact, everyone on the entire hill loves his mustard--well, everyone except Ram. Monster hopes that the mustard will help him become friends with Ram. Ram, on the other hand, has little interest; but with a bit of persistence and a lot of kindness from Monster, Ram learns that trying new things can create special bonds. Of course, Ram has to be reminded of just how valuable those bonds are but, in the end, sees clearly.Join Monster and Ram on their first journey together, their most important journey of all; and maybe the most sacred journey any of us take--befriending others with a genuine heart (whether you're a fan of mustard or not).
America was built on a Christian foundation. While always allowing for a diversity of thoughts and a variance of religious expression, the values of the nation were consistent. Listening to the voice of God, as spoken through Scripture, was critical to the early leaders.We have fallen far from those early foundations. We have abandoned the values that shaped us. How would the Savior, who formed the church and ordained the nation, speak to us today, in our post-Christian age?We are familiar with the phrase, "What would Jesus do?" This book explores another significant question: "What would Jesus say?" If He came to us today, what would His message be?You will be surprised at the wide variety of messages we might expect to hear from Jesus today. We will hear His words to the churches in Revelation and in other passages of Scripture.Be prepared to be challenged, encouraged, and reassured by Jesus's words.
Kitty won't play. What will make her happy?Kitty Green, a beloved cat, oddly enough really likes and appreciates eating apples. Have you ever seen a cat eat an apple? Have you ever? Well, if you like humor, in this book Kitty Likes Apples, you're in for a really fun treat!2
Who said life is just a dream? The human experience is a real living event. This book will take you on a journey of a little girl--misused and abused--but through Christ overcame her many obstacles. Life taunts, and it urges the will of man to yield to its system. You and I are the strongest as we stand in faith. You are never too old to realize who you are. I was in my forties when I received the Holy Spirit and accepted the Lord in my life as ruler and Lord. As the singer Tremaine Hawkins sang, "He changed my life, and now I am free."In the best of times and the worst of times, whether we like the changing times that take place in our lives or not, we must keep pushing onward toward the goal, the purpose God has set before us. We need God's favor working in our lives to keep up with the fast pace of these changing times. When we find we have missed the mark, repent and ask for forgiveness. God is in the soul-saving business. He will hear your honest cries to him. He loves the humbled soul, the repenting heart; he hates the proud and boastful.As the scenes of life play out, every passing moment counts in our lives. We must avail knowing we live in the valley of decisions. Someone once said, "Walk softly and carry a big stick. You will go far." We have come to earth from an incredibly special place in God's heart; we will return to that special place, where we will meet our creator. What will we have to show him from our visit to earth?As the wheels of life turn, we learn to cope with the dust storms that arise from living. How you choose to receive God's droplets of life is up to you. Give thanks to Almighty God for the strength to go through, and live on the other side of the storms that must come.
Craved from our first breath until the last, love's splendor guides us toward our salvation. Challenging anyone who dares to take on the gauntlet called life. From a womb's darkness to the light of day, along the end of each, we're rocked by love's lullabies beneath stars and dreams. Why our circled beginnings starts out as the purest form of having nothing. As our tiny hands holds small change, growing in the wealth of each embrace. Of being overwhelmed by love's warmth and stunned by its chills; these seasons come and go. From the lessons in how we learn to crawl before you can walk. As each step taken allows everyone to find their balance, our self-worth. For love is a priceless piece of art, as its hues will take on different emotions. We're drawn by each stroke throughout living. Of our belief in God, family, friends, goals, loss, success, failure, and truth, these torches we pass down to our children. So permit me this chance of being my model, and I will paint you such stories of love. Get comfortable in your favorite chair, or just lie in your bed snuggled beneath the sheets. I shall attempt to turn you up, down, and around throughout loves' magical. It's amazing without any strings attached. And at its end, you may think I was right there the whole time.

The teachings and directions found in the Bible given by God (between 1500 BC and AD 100) are meant to remain alive and practiced by believers till the second coming of Jesus Christ.From my conversations with Christians in different countries and continents, it has been noticed that a large majority of Christians are culturally and traditionally tuned to biblical teaching modified from centuries. Needless to add that Satan has an active part in these changes. As a result, now we are a fractured Christianity. When religion becomes confused, the truth becomes distorted.Life is too busy for many to read the Bible and contextually understand it. The Holy Spirit is the real author of the Bible; we cannot negotiate with him.This book is divided into twelve topics. Each topic is presented and explained exactly as it is given in the Authorized King James Version (presentation not impacted by any denomination). Millions of Christians have differences of opinion on these topics, and they interpret and follow them differently against the unchanging God's command--"I am the Lord I change not"--as seen in Ecclesiastes 3:14; Malachi 3:6; Revelation 22:18-19, besides others.Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Yes, the emergence and formation of the church on this earth is because of the Bible and its everlasting truth. Deuteronomy 7:9 says , "Those who love Him and keep His commandments, God's mercy is with them for a thousand generations."Get connected with God through prayer and through reading his Holy Word regularly and contextually. It is the author's hope and prayer that the readers of this book will be inspired by the leading of the Holy Spirit and led to a spiritual restoration.
Has anyone truly understood the many nuances of relationships and navigated them successfully? I would venture to say no one. Mother, daughter, father, son--I would still say none.Keep in mind that a man and a woman or a romantic relationship seems to be the most problematic. Everyone wants to be loved, but receiving and giving love are two completely different things. The heart is a delicate thing; in the wrong hands, a heart can be torn to pieces.This book can both help and save you from heartache and pain. Just trust in God's Word and guidance. You'll find peace, love, and joy when you lean on and depend on God's guidance.Unfortunately, there are too many who don't believe in or know much about God. They amble alone, doing harm and leaving brokenness in their path. Don't be a victim anymore. Just be wise enough to learn from past mistakes. Read, apply, be loved, receive love, and be happy!

Stories, vignettes, short books, essays, poems, and a few illustrated lessons for young people Nathan Strong has had extremely diverse experiences in his seventy years - farmer, carpenter, painter, pilot, college administrator, minister, white-water canoeist, traveler (48 states, Canada and a foreign country), teacher, dulcimer maker and recording artist, political campaign manager, entrepreneur, missionary, baseball coach, writer, husband and father of three - fertile ground for his vivid imagination.The question often arises about how a minister can have such a wide range of interests and such an uninhibited imagination. There are many precedents, from Milton and C.S. Lewis to Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland, who was a mathematician, photographer, inventor and Anglican deacon. In fact, the case may be made that a minister without imagination makes for a boring preacher, which this minister definitely is not. With humor and poignancy, something for everyone and for every interest, the reader will delight to wander through the meanderings of this unusual writer.
Who is Jesus? This question about the identity of Jesus is the defining question of Christianity. It is asked time and again throughout the Gospel accounts. It is asked by the Jewish crowds, by their religious leaders, by Herod Antipas, by Pontius Pilate, by John the Baptist and by Jesus' own disciples. Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" and the question remains relevant through all of history. In fact, it is the most important question each of us will ever ask and answer.In order that we may answer this question, the Gospel accounts provide a large volume of information on Jesus' identity--much of which comes directly from words that Jesus spoke. What better way to learn about Jesus than to study about His life and instruction, as told by people who knew Him, lived with Him, walked with Him, and were taught by Him. The Gospel accounts and this study are centered around the question about the identity of Jesus.My previous study of the Old Testament, Understand the Old Testament: The Story Jesus Completes. The Promise Jesus Fulfills, emphasizes how Jesus is revealed in the Old Testament. This study continues to focus on Jesus as revealed in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This study follows a chronological path through the Gospel accounts. I love how the stories fit together and provide flow and context to enhance our understanding of the message. I believe this kind of study allows us to see a more complete picture. In this study, we get the opportunity to compare and contrast how the different Gospel accounts tell a story. It is also easier to remember what Jesus said and did when it is in the context of the story of His life. You may be surprised how well the Gospel accounts can be synchronized and placed in order. The Gospel accounts use connecting words (then, next, at that time, while, after that) that indicate chronological order. There are also time markers in the Gospel accounts. When we pay attention to these markers, we can see the story as it unfolds.Another goal of this study is to provide information on the Jewish and Roman cultures in which the accounts take place. When we add context to our study of scripture, we gain a better understanding of its message.Through our study of the Gospel accounts, we will see how Jesus answered many of our questions.Who is Jesus?How are we to live in relation with God?How are we to live in relation with each other?What is the Kingdom of God?What is God's goal for us?What did Jesus accomplish?What is the New Covenant?Who is the Holy Spirit?Let's get to know Jesus more deeply. As new believers, we understand that we have invited Jesus into our lives. As we mature, we realize that we are invited to participate in the life of Christ. Let's accept His invitation.
After being labeled for the majority of my life, I was frightened by the things that would occur. It was fear that kept me in my cage. Being sexually abused, abandoned by my father, my childhood was taken away. I even hated to see myself in the mirror, and in my mind, I became a reflection of all the things that I didn't want to see. I never imagined that I would have to endure so much pain, that God would allow my life to become so unpleasant, until I realized that it wasn't about Rose McDonald. It was to be used for his glory.As you go through the pages of this book, as you go through everyday life challenges, you will hit some barricade that can only control you temporarily There will always be some ups and downs, good and the bad, for his glory. Only God can restore you. If you are tired of being stuck, this is the right book for you. If not, just remember that God didn't and will not break his promise. Even through the pandemic, I still rely on him to carry me. After you have done all you can, just stand and remember that "no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper" (Isaiah 54:17). That is why I am still standing.
There are reasons that children don't listen, and there are ways to convert bad attitudes. If you believe that training up a child in the way he should go and honoring your parents may be part of how you get your child to feed a cat - or get your child to come when you call, finish homework, or be home by suppertime - this book is for you.Besides, it has cartoons.
Follow the little lamb on an adventure. Here our lamb will learn a valuable lesson about who comes after us when we are lost. Like the lamb, we, too, can learn wonderful insights for when we wander.
How difficult is it for you to make changes in your life? For many of us, changes can be extremely difficult. This is especially the case when these changes require us to alter long-standing habits of living. Does it make a difference when we realize that proposed changes could have a significantly positive impact on our lives?We all know that changes do occur for us throughout the course of our lives, many of which we have no control over. For example, we go from infancy into childhood, from preteen years into being a teenager, from young adults to adulthood to elderly individuals. Other changes are brought about through our own choices, such as who we have as friends, who we marry, the job we pursue, the location where we live, when we will retire, etc.These changes, and many others we did not mention, should be quite familiar to us. That's the case because such changes all exist within the physical setting; they are things we can see and touch, things that are very real to us. However, as important as these physical things are--and I would agree that they are important to us--there is a realm which is far more important, one that should demand our strictest attention, and that is the spiritual realm.In this study, we will endeavor to consult God's word in order to discuss examples of people who made dramatic changes in their lives, changes for the better. My hope is that many of the people we consider will be familiar to us, even people we can identify with personally. Ultimately, we should understand that making changes, even on those occasions when it will be quite painful, can result in a happier life, both now and forever! After all, God does know what's best for each of us, both now and forever!My prayer is that we all come away with the conviction that change is possible and that we can change for the better.

Who is a caregiver?A caregiver is anyone who is called upon to care for the needs of another. It might be as little as knowing that you need to call Dad a couple of times a week to make sure he is okay, or perhaps you are bringing meals to someone and taking them to doctor's appointments. Then there are the full-time caregivers who have dedicated their lives to the complete care of another. This book is dedicated to all of you who care about someone enough to do tangible things to help someone who needs you.It is estimated that nearly one in five Americans is involved in caregiving at some level, and the number is rising rapidly. Sadly, studies also show that the general health and well-being of caregivers have declined. And as our population ages, the need for more caregivers will increase.Providing care for a family member or friend can be rewarding and provide a real sense of purpose, it also poses challenges for the caregiver. There are many resources available that seek to educate and empower caregivers about how to perform caregiving tasks, but I have noted that there is a huge need for caregivers to be encouraged, blessed, and given hope!In this book, the author shares true stories of life as a caregiver, spanning decades. It is so important to know that you are not alone! The feelings and challenges you are experiencing are hard for even your closest family and friends to truly understand, but you'll see in these stories that you can truly have joy in the midst of your difficulty.We hope that this book will provide encouragement, joy, and hope!--Phil LeichliterPhil takes you by the hand and shares with you his love and gratitude.

Those who know God as their Father may recognize that the way He dealt with the nation of Israel in the Old Testament is the same way He deals with us as His adopted spiritual children.In a bond of love, He directs us in the right way to go. He then walks along with us for the rest of our lives, disciplining us toward becoming everything we were meant to be as we enjoy His companionship. If we resist His direction, we find ourselves isolated, experiencing the stress of loneliness. When we come to our senses, we return and confess. He always forgives us and resumes His discipline.The Old Testament story of God and Israel is like a parable of how a perfect parent raises a child. It is a story for you and me, the children of God.
