I, Joy, a writer of Jesus Christ by the will of God, do write unto you through the pages of Call to War because of my faith in our Lord, along with my hope and vision for you to replenish the soil of your heart with seeds of prayer. Our King (Jesus) is looking for a harvest. Remember the fig tree in Matthew 21 and Mark 11? No more fruit ever grew from it again. It was cursed, and it died the following day! We must stay diligent to remain in the vine! Jesus says that "He's the true vine" in John 15, and if we remain in Him and He in us, we will bear much fruit. However, apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. The heart of the Call to War is prayer and the art of using prayer to conform to the Son of God (Romans 8:29-30). How you receive this seed will make all the difference in your life, as our brother Hosea (Hosea 10:12) told us to "break up of fallow ground" to make our soil ready to receive the seed of the Word! I pray that you break up the soil of your heart before digesting this material. May the Lord and Father of all heaven and earth bless you mightily.Love your sister,Joy
Throughout the centuries, the life of Jesus has been extensively documented and recorded through various sources such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, movies, stories, and the Bible. While there have been descriptions of Jesus by scholars and his apostles, no painting or drawing of his likeness has ever been discovered. Instead, depictions of Jesus have been portrayed through historical pictures, paintings, and statues. In recent years, significant findings, such as scrolls containing stories of Jesus in the Dead Sea area, have been unearthed in caves, leading to ongoing excavations in search of further artifacts from the past.
John, the author of this gospel account, introduces us to Jesus Christ, the Word that "became flesh and dwelt among us." John's concern is the nature and person of Jesus and the meaning of faith in Him. The purpose for writing this gospel account is found in 20:21, which says, "These things have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name."As a member of the Twelve, John was an eyewitness to the miracles of Jesus, an eyewitness to the teachings and preaching of Jesus, and an intimate friend of Jesus, identified within the gospel as "the disciple that Jesus loved." John's unique perspective comes from being a member of the "inner circle" of Peter, James, and John. These three men were present at all the key moments of Jesus's ministry, including the Last Supper, the garden of Gethsemane, and the Mount of Transfiguration.For three intense years, John watched Jesus live and love; he listened to Him preach and teach; John saw Jesus crucified, and at the foot of the cross, Jesus transferred the care of His mother to the disciple whom He loved. John saw the risen Christ, forever changing his life from a hot-tempered youth to a devoted, fruitful follower, and pillar of the early church.Are you a devoted follower of Jesus Christ? How deep is your commitment? It is this author's belief that as you journey through John over the next thirty days, you will be compelled to make one of three choices: (1) Jesus was a lunatic; (2) Jesus was a liar; or (3) Jesus is Lord.

It's learning to be courageous, making hard choices and, of course, looking for adventure.

Over the years, I have written several stories. Most of them are about experiences with my own immediate family, but some have been told to me by my extended family and friends. All of them are true. In some cases, I have changed the names of those involved for obvious reasons.Good stories must be preserved so that future generations can enjoy them. As a family historian, I so wish that I had talked with my parents about their lives. It would have been fun to have recorded more of their stories. Fortunately, I recorded a few of them before they passed away and included them here.Besides entertaining the reader with this book, I hope it inspires the preservation of your favorite stories.Some of these stories will hopefully make you laugh. Some may make you cry. With others, you will shake your head and wonder what these characters were even thinking. But then, I always think wisdom is obtained by making mistakes and learning from them. Some are stories of faith while others are left to fate. There will be twists and turns. However, in the end, lessons learned.Most involved the first time I encountered another person. I have included stories where we experienced something for the first time. Just for fun, I threw in a few funny family stories for good measure. Sometimes, I felt a little like Forrest Gump with a few close encounters with historical figures.All are short vignettes, or as my sister calls them, "little slices of life." So please sit back and enjoy the ride with me.
Crossing Little River transports you to the captivating realm of country life, weaving together the tapestry of a journey from childhood to adulthood with a poetic sensibility that uplifts the reader' s heart. In the presence of these words of solace and hope, the mind is set free to wander and find tranquility. As you traverse the river and behold its breathtaking waters, a serene joy embraces you, surrounded by trees, rocks, and glimpses of fish gracefully swimming beneath the surface. The idyllic banks, adorned with lush trees, beckon memories of a simpler existence intertwined with the delightful presence of birds, rabbits, chickens, pigs, dogs, and cats. In those days of yore, the world seemed vibrant and alive, illuminated by twinkling stars in the night sky, accompanied by the moon casting its gentle glow, and serenaded by the harmonious melodies of wind and water cascading freely down the meandering river. It is impossible not to envision the love, kindness, and boundless happiness bestowed upon us by this exquisite marvel of God's creation.
Today, there are many attacks against the Word of God, but I believe in the authority given to us. The Bible is not referring to the mythological unicorn, the horse-with-a-horn creature of fairy tales and fantasy literature. In my study of the unicorn, I am led to believe that it was a wild ox. I believe it was a real creature of great strength.In Numbers 23:22 and 24:8, God compares His own strength to that of a wild ox. Deuteronomy 33:17 is a part of Moses, blessing on Joseph. He compares Joseph's majesty and strength to a firstborn bull. Moses prays for Joseph's military force, picturing it like a unicorn (wild ox) goring the nations.In Psalm 22:21, David asks God to save him from the powers of his wicked enemies, described as "the horns of the unicorns." In Psalm 29:6, the power of God's voice shakes the earth, causes the great cedars of Lebanon to break and "skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn." In Psalm 92:10, the writer confidently describes his military victory as "the horn of an unicorn."In Isaiah 34:7, as God is about to unleash his wrath upon Edom, the prophet Isaiah draws a picture of a great sacrificial slaughter, classifying the wild ox (unicorn) with the ceremonially clean animals that will fall to the sword.In Job 39:9-12, Job compares the unicorn or wild ox--a standard symbol of strength in the Old Testament--with domesticated oxen. I believe the unicorn is now extinct throughout the world.
This book tells is a story about a group of people with the favor of God to leave from the plantation to cross over into a new world that every slave prayed about called the new Eden! God had given them powers not for war but for healing his world.As you read this story, open your mind and heart, and you will see life in a different perspective. And I want everyone to read and think deeper and to keep the faith.

Salt and Light: America's Greatest Need is written to share with God's children the urgency of being all that He needs us to be in the day in which we live. Our nation is divided and awash in sin and immorality. It would be easy to blame the politicians and the evildoers for the state of our world today. However, God's Word makes it clear that it is His children who are responsible for the chaos holding us in its grip. Our lives can and should make a difference. God has promised to hear our prayers and heal our land if we humble ourselves before Him, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. We have the power to make a difference and bring healing to our sin-sick world. I pray that this book will encourage you to do just that.
I'm sure you may be familiar with the saying "WWJD"--"What would Jesus do?" Well, here is a new one for you: "WWJS"--"What would Jesus say?" That's right, "What would Jesus say?" WWJS. I'm sure if you are anything like me, you would like to quote Jesus. Now you may be able to quote a line or two, but wouldn't it be nice to have more quotes at the ready? Well, now you can. Jesus Said will help prepare you to quote our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And in our current world environment, all Christians should be sharing the words and wisdom of Jesus. I truly believe Jesus Said will coach you in your discussions with, say, your Bible study class or spread the words of Jesus to nonbelievers. So let's spread the word "WWJS."
Follow the raw and real journey of a young girl as she grows into a woman with unshakable faith while her mom was in the grip of alcoholism. From beloved daughter to scapegoat and verbally abused to separation to caretaker to beloved daughter again. Without Jesus, she would not have lived to share her story. It's not the worst story; unfortunately, many have it far worse, but it's her story. A story about how Jesus was there for her and how he's there for you, too, whether you acknowledge him or not. May it help you find the love, peace, strength, and hope that can only be found in him.The grip of alcoholism is very powerful, but the love of Jesus Christ is so much more powerful. His love never fails. We are imperfect but perfectly loved, unconditionally, no matter what happens in our lives or how much we sin. It's also a story about the power of love between a parent and a child and how it can endure even the most difficult relationship.The story was written and posted one way at a time, 121 ways Jesus was there for the author, along with personally selected supporting Bible verses. It can be read one way a day, all 121 ways in one day, or any way in between. Those who read along as it was written said it helped them grow their faith even if there were no struggles with alcohol. For those who are an alcoholic or at risk of becoming one and for those who love an alcoholic, it may be similar to your own story but you can't find the words to write. And if you don't yet know that Jesus is there for you, may it help you find him.
In summary, I would like to bring to mind Jesus's words in Luke 24:44-45:That all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me. Then opened. He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.Jesus opened the disciples' understanding that they would see fulfilled prophecy.Our understanding can likewise be opened up when we allow the Bible to speak. The Bible is its own best commentary.In this book, you will be able to see how Jesus fulfilled prophecy concerning himself and his kingdom/church. Many of the radio and television preachers are mistaken when they preach on the Second Coming of Christ. They misunderstand how the many prophecies they use have already been fulfilled in Christ's first coming and in the establishment of the church/kingdom. They misunderstand the many figurative and symbolic statements used by the prophets in the Old Testament. The New Testament writers were revealed the fulfilment of these prophecies.It is important to remember that figurative passages must always be understood in light of easy-to-understand passages and any interpretation of a difficult passage that contradicts a plain passage cannot be correct.God bless those of you who read this book--that you will be like the early Bereans in that they received the Word of God with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things are so or not (Acts 17:10-11).
