A scar is a mark left by a healed wound. We're all trying to heal, but sometimes the hurt is so deep it seems like it will never happen. No one is immune to the pain that can happen to our hearts. It doesn't care about the color of your skin, your beliefs, or the size of your bank account. This book is about 23 women's heart-wrenching stories.They share their different journeys, and yet have all felt hurt and alone. Their faith in God helped carry them through their dark times, and they want you to know there is healing, comfort, and hope on the other side of brokenness. (Also, in the book, the author offers an opportunity for the reader to contact any of these women for further advice or connection.)___________ In January 2016, Anna Kay Schmidt attended a Fresh Grounded Faith seminar. She became aware as she listened to Jennifer Rothschild speak, the Holy Spirit was directing her to write the book she had thought about so many times through the years. It is this seminar that gave her the boost to write Our Scars of Hope. Anna Kay Schmidt wears many hats...a wife, mother, friend, church praise team singer, children's bible class teacher, church administrative assistant, home stager, and now, an author. But, her greatest joy is sharing life at home with her husband, Larry and her fur-babies Rocket, Luna & Scrappy.

When we make it a point to put HIM in the Center of our lives, putting HIM first, and we follow HIS Commands, Living them in our lifestyle, Teaching them to our Children and Grandchildren, that we will see that our lives are made Successful by and through HIM. When we are Living for Jesus and Teaching others to do the same, helping to make Great HIS Harvest, we will find our Joy in this life to be in Abundance. If we all would live by the Standards as taught in the Bible, I believe that we would see less people in poverty, we would have less time on our hands for mischief, and after a good day of hard work, play, or learning, we would all be able to sleep better at night.

Praise God! It has taken me great courage to write this book. Like some of us, it is hard to admit that there is or was an "Addiction" in our lives. I cried out to God to "Save Me" and "Stop Me" from destroying myself with "Food"! We live in a world that puts demands on us to "Pleasure Yourself" in many ways. What do you mean, you may ask, "Pleasure Yourself"? Many of us struggle with "ADDICTIONS" secretly, whether we want to admit it or not. We look to whatever we can use to comfort us or ease the pain of life.My calling and purpose for writing this book is to help the body of Christ who deal with "Food Addiction", and to discover there is a way of escape from over eating, through "Tithing Your Food to God".

I was in prison and you came to visit me … I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

Jesus would be in the prisons, offering healing, grace, forgiveness, salvation -- and His friendship. But, what if no one from outside the prison would carry His message to those in the inside? Answer: God will raise up someone already in the inside. May we introduce exhibit number one: William Graham, inmate #123781, Colorado Corrections, witness for Christ.

As sparks flew upward, Christian prophets like Tozer, Lewis, Phillips and others, were flung as burning embers across the theological landscape of the last century. They smoldered, then ignited, with the flame of their torches feeding on the unseen, setting the very air on fire, lighting the way, seeking to astonish and awaken God's church through their pulpits and prophetic pens.Like the prophets of old, these refugees from yesterday wore a halo of sanctity, had long memories and a fierce loyalty to Truth; qualities that linger, indelibly stamped on our memories and imaginations. They stood in a howling theological wilderness like solitary prophets, weeping over a world becoming more and more empty of GodAnd, standing in the midst? The author of this Classic book - Arthur W.

A few years ago I sat down with the writer's pen and wrote a book called Soaring With Eagles.The book took just 12 hours to write and once it was complete I turned to my wife and said " Honey wouldn't it be great if God sent Eagles our way".

The Eagle is not only the national bird of America but they are also the national bird of Heaven.May the Spirit of Eagle Christianity fall upon you all.

Why water? Why His blood? Sign of birth? Or death? Victory? Or defeat? Beginning? Or the end? The Lamb of God revealed Himself with His baptism. At that moment He prophetically proclaimed His death on that cross, His burial and His resurrection. Your baptism also point to your own death one day and your own resurrection by the Holy Spirit of God some pre-ordained day in the future! The sign of Jonah proclaims it all: The cross, the Son, the resurrection, Life after death and the Grace of God that is big enough to save Jonah from the prison bars of hell. No other sign will be given to the unbeliever. Read about it and believe…

There he sat.  A shabbily dressed man.  In the back of a church sanctuary. He sat in the shadows, anxious, fidgety, nervous.  He wore a soiled, silvery-white cloak. A shiny silver insignia was embroidered into the rumpled fabric that stretched across his chest.  The insignia?  An eagle, a winged man, an ox and a lion, symbols of the four evangelists.  Sacred memories and half-forgotten prophecies – they flashed across his restless mind as he sat there, tightly holding an ancient scroll.At the conclusion of the service the man emerged from the shadows and discretely pulled the pastor aside, away from the congregation.  He hurriedly pulled a manila envelop that contained a small ancient scroll, a rough, faded parchment, and handed it to the pastor. His hands were trembling."For you and only you. John the Younger sent me. Do exactly as I say. Translate, transcribe, then save copies of this document into multiple computers for safety and security – then burn this scroll. Do exactly as I say. Burn it! The boy, John the Younger, who is now old and near death, told me to give this to you, and you alone. I am doing as he told me – you must do likewise!”I did as I was told.  I am that pastor. Even as I write this, I wonder: What would you have done, reader? Put yourself, if you will, in my shoes. See through my eyes. What would you do? There was no time to wonder and no time to worry – a decision had to be made; and I made it.My editor and publisher, as well as a few family members, friends and ministerial colleagues who have read advanced copies of this work have asked me, “Did these things really happen?”My answer is simple: I have lived long enough to know that…A Reflection on The Last Martyr...Since the beginning of time people have been thinking about the end of time. Many have made predictions about how and when the end would happen. Most of us are familiar with Nostradamus, Bishop Ussher, the Mayans or others who predicted the end. Even now the Muslims expect the Mahdi to appear. The Christians are looking for the Christ. Orthodox Jews are looking for their Messiah. Others look for the incarnation of Krishna and still others look for the reappearance of Mohammed. Each of these messianic types are associated with the end of the world. Hidden behind the veil of is another end time revelation -- Before the 1st Coming of Christ, God gave John - the Last Prophet - Whose Death Closed The Old Testament Age. Before the 2nd Coming of Christ, God gives another John. He is John - The Last Martyr - Whose Death will Close The New Testament Age. The Last Martyr focuses on (1) the conflict between science and religion, (2) between atheism and theism, (3) between philosophy and theology, and, (4) between that which is secular and that which is sacred - from a biblical/Christian perspective - cloaked in the context of contemporary fiction. A theological thriller -- The Last Martyr -- Utilizes intriguing biblical symbols and symbolism, allegories, similes, powerful metaphors and other literary devices to increase the readers understanding of biblical truth and to enhance the value of the readers journey with John, the Last Martyr. .

Adwoba Addo-Boateng has written "The Helpline is Engaged," an insightful contemporary approach to prayer based on the teachings of Christ.

"The Helpline is Engaged" delves into this intriguing part of our lives with practical stories that people from all walks of life can relate to. "The Helpline is Engaged" brings an exclusively new dimension to prayer by adopting modern themes into Christ-like trends.

Can a person go to Heaven after a lifetime of deceitfulness? What about drugs, sex, racism, anger, or hate? Daniel: A Life Transformed is the life and transformation of Daniel, a man who lived his life on the edge; a man who avoided responsibility, indulged in anything he would consider fun or full of adrenaline, and hated the world and everything in it. After all this, he still thought he was a Christian, and believed that God thought as he did. It wasn't until he received news that shocked us to our core that God showed him the truth.
