Inspired by the example of a spirit-centered life exhibited by the author's parents and elders in the family, this book serves as a testament to the lessons learned throughout the author's own life.She grew up in a multigenerational family within a small island village, where families resided for generations and coexisted harmoniously regardless of religion, caste, or social status. She received early education in a boarding school established by Christian missionaries, where education and the cultivation of values based on spirituality laid the foundation for embracing the world with an open mind.Wearing simple uniforms and refraining from the use of jewelry and makeup allowed each individual's personal beauty to shine without any extravagance. Simplicity and character were the jewels. The author's experiences across various settings will bear witness to this truth.

We often hear the phrase "once saved, always saved," which to some means that once a person is saved, he will always be saved, no matter what he does. Scripture does verify that when a person is born again and is truly saved, he has eternal security. But what is revealed in Scripture about this important issue must be properly understood. Misinterpretation of this important biblical concept can have dire consequences.This book will discuss many positive aspects of the "once saved, always saved" concept. However, it will also show that there is significant potential for misunderstanding and misusing this idea in ways that may be dangerous from a spiritual point of view. These dangers include erroneously thinking one is eternally saved when he is not even saved at all, making no effort to grow spiritually, and not working toward eternal rewards because one sees no reason to if he is already eternally secure. Topics such as what it means to truly be saved, at what time is one actually saved, the importance of being sure about one's salvation, the danger of turning the grace of God into licentiousness, and what happens with the carnal Christian will also be considered. This book will explore these issues from the point of view that if a person is saved, he will always be saved--but he must be truly saved to indeed have eternal security.

Have you ever heard from God? Have you ever seen miracles? Have you ever gotten to be part of something magical/supernatural? This is the true story of some who did. Do you hear from God? Do you recognize God's voice? If you have ever wondered if the miraculous seems to be relegated to biblical times, this may help you to see that it's not. If you are willing and courageous, the door can open for your own story. Well, this is our story.

No one can predict what a child will be like the moment he or she is born. You rejoice at their birth and raise them the best you can with the resources you have and teach them "in the way they should go" (Proverbs 22:6). But when they reach adulthood, and sometimes even before, they make their own decisions. Some of those decisions may not be in step with what you taught them, and sometimes they are the total opposite.This book tells the true story of a mother who hears from her son, "Mom, I'm gay" and the spiritual battle that she finds herself fighting. A mother who shares a very difficult and painful stage in her life. Here she shares her heart in hopes that others in the same situation can draw from her experience and benefit from it. If it only helps one person, it was worth it. It is a story of love and mistakes made. It is a story of pain. But most of all, it is a story of God's redemption and restoration, because God is always near to the brokenhearted and always faithful to His promises.

One of the most overlooked subjects in the Bible are the chapters that deal with genealogies.There are two accounts of genealogies that give approximate ages of births and deaths in the book of Genesis. Is there some underlining information or remez that God wants to reveal to His believers through this data?One of the most intriguing parable Jesus gave his disciples is found in Matthew 13:44. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."Could there be some hidden treasure about the life of Noah or Abraham in those genealogies? Was Noah still alive during the Tower of Babel or the birth of Abram?Please get your spiritual shovel and join me in the reading of The Ages of Abraham's Genealogy and His Descendants. There is nothing so exhilarating as unearthing spiritual treasures in God's Word.

I thank God for giving me His divine word to share with this dark world and share it in a way that will penetrate the hearts of mankind.We are living in a world that seems unthankful. This world needs a spiritual checkup.This world needs to believe that God is our refuge if we let Him.God caused me to come out of darkness into the light, but it took some suffering. No cross, no crown.God has been a storm calmer in my life, but I came this far by faith, leaning on the Lord.God's word penetrated my heart. He gave me victory over my adversities.I thank God for being a light to my family and church family. I have been letting God orchestrate my life since I turned my life over to Him.

Life in a Bubble is about living a fairly secluded life that required dependence on God to get her through the challenges of day-to-day life that seemed to come one right after another. Some challenges came in her very young years when she realized the differences economically between herself and her family compared to others. Another even greater challenge came when she watched her mother, the one who was the glue that held the family together, die suddenly. Avie had just turned seventeen the month before, and because of her secluded lifestyle, she was really more like thirteen. Soon after, her elderly father checked himself into the VA hospital, thrusting her into an adult life head-on, trying to figure out how to survive on her own.After marriage and having a child within the same year and shortly after taking on the responsibility of her baby sister who was now a teenager was another hurdle for her. Then came dealing with the second child having migraines that started during his very early years. After having three normal vaginal deliveries, the fourth child required a cesarean section. Around age eleven, this child began having seizures, and life with epilepsy began. Challenges with that came having to care for that child and then as an adult and making decisions for and with her.The next big challenge came with caring for her husband of fifty-six years with end-stage congestive heart failure who became almost total care before his death. Then approximately three months following his death, after getting a booster injection, she herself developed symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica and rheumatoid arthritis. Life itself is a challenge for anyone, but caring for others and hoping to make the right decisions could only be done by studying God's word for answers and lots and lots of prayer by herself and other prayer warriors.

The reason for writing this book is because of God's irrefutable love for the people of India through His only Begotten son, Jesus Christ.This book explores the records of archeology, history of migration, language, and religion of Hinduism, and the findings are astonishing in that it is not what we normally expect.The author described the character and attributes of the six major Hindu deities: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Krishna, and Rama as written in the ancient sacred Vedic Hindu texts: Rig Veda, Samaveda, Yajur (Black and White) Vedas, Atharva Veda, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Puranas, and they are definitely not as common beliefs or rumors passed down from generation to generation. A comparison is made with the character and attributes of God as described in the Christian Bible.Similarly, the author explores the origin of Hinduism's major doctrines: Krishna's claims, the Samsara cycle, Trimurti, avatars, dharma, self-realizations, renunciation of and freedom from attachments, yogic meditation, demonic possession, and minor doctrines like worship, idol worship, sin, death incarnation, castes, hell, curses, women, astrology, etc. as found in the ancient sacred Vedic texts as mentioned above and compared them with the theology, doctrines, and practices as found in the Christian Bible.

The Gift of a Father gives specific things that my father, Leonard James, Jr. did throughout my life thatwere truly gifts and blessings to me. He did these things by way of example, teaching and mentoring that have been real blessings over the entire seventy-five plus years of my existence.Key points in his teachings are:1. The sovereignty of God emphasizes that everything that man uses in technology and commerce was created by God. We can do nothing apart from our Creator whether we acknowledge Him or not.2. My father set forth God's model for manhood by his example and teaching. He emphasized that God set forth the model or pattern in the first two chapters of Genesis.3. He established that my identity must be set by Godly principles and not by the thinking and behavior of the people and culture around me.4. He stressed the importance of having a vision for life and to avoid wandering aimlessly.5. As I entered puberty he impressed upon me the importance of commitment in marriage and a relationship with a female. This means there is more that just sex involved. He set the example in that he was married to my mother for 59 years before his death.6. Life is filled with traps and snares. He taught me to be careful when dealing with temptations and "bait".7. Racism was a major issue while I was growing up in Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s. He and my mother emphasized that my success was possible and I had to assume responsibility for it.8. He raised me and my sisters to look to God's unconditional love and His Grace even though we made mistakes.

This is a true story of how "difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations." After eating her heart out over things she had not caused, could not control, and would never be able to change, a high school teacher introduced her class to a poem called "The Heart." It painted an ugly picture in her mind...it was a picture of her! She decided then and there to get up off that desert floor and head for the "Diamond Fields."Diamonds she knew had to be discovered, mined, processed, and cut before they could shine in their innate glory. She was willing to make that investment and shares how she accomplished this through God's love, her faith in Him, and her God-given need to forgive.
