Long before Isaiah ever knew the events that would unfold in his life, God had been at work in him to mold and shape him into a man to whom He could entrust this extraordinary assignment.But don't lose sight that Isaiah was a flawed ordinary man placed in God-ordered circumstances to be a follower through whom God would accomplish extraordinary things.

Joseph was an unlikely choice to be the earthly father of Jesus. There was nothing about him on the surface that would have prompted any of us to consider him worthy. And yet, no other man in history has been charged with the tremendous responsibility he was given.He wasn't randomly chosen by God. He wasn't chosen simply because he and Mary were engaged to be married. He was, most definitely, not an after-thought or a footnote. He and Mary were betrothed because God had chosen them both and ordered their steps accordingly ... from before the beginning of time.God had been at work in Joseph's life long before he ever knew the events that would unfold in his life. God carefully molded and shaped Joseph into the man to whom He could entrust this special assignment. Through this novella, you'll discover the heart and character of the carpenter God called to raise His Son.

What does it mean to take up the cross? In this fifth book of the Lessons Learned In The Wilderness series, pastor and author Ken Winter leads us to look at the cross our Lord has set before each one of us, as we follow Him in our wilderness journey. The backdrop is the last forty-seven days of the earthly ministry of Jesus, picking up at His triumphal entry into Jerusalem and continuing to the day He ascended into heaven to sit at the right-hand of the Father. We will look through the lens of the Gospels at what taking up the cross looked like in His life, and what He has determined it will look like in ours. He doesn't promise that there won't be a cost - there will be! And He doesn't promise that it will be easy - it won't be! But it is the journey He has set before us - a journey that will further His purpose in and through our lives - and a journey that will lead to His glory.As you read a chapter each day, or read it straight through, allow the Master to use it to draw you closer to Him as you walk with Him each day in your journey.Pick up your copy by clicking the "buy-now" button.

I was 14 when this incident occured. We hadn't lived at this area for long. My father wanted to move every 2 or 3 years for some reason. I still do not know how so many people found out that we needed help so quickly. We didn't have a TV. I didn't get one until I was about 23. I spent a lot of years on the road in my truck hauling furniture for Allied Van Lines, across the US. I have met a couple of angels in my life, but I was truly amazed at what happened. I was very relieved also. I was really scarred that we wouldn't find my sister in time. I still can't understand how she was able to survive. I know a lot of people don't believe in angels, but I have now other explanation. Hope you enjoy this story.

Paul was an unlikely candidate to become the apostle to the Gentiles ... until the day he unexpectedly encountered Jesus. You are probably familiar with that part of his story, and perhaps much of what transpired in his life after that. But two-thirds of his life story is not recorded in detail, though Paul gives us some hints in his letters. Through this fictional novel, we'll explore how God may have used those unrecorded portions of his life to prepare him for the mission that was being set before him. We'll follow him from his early years in Tarsus through his final days in Rome. Throughout those years, Paul spent more time in a prison cell than we are ever told. It was a place where God continued to work in and through him. The mission never stopped because he was in prison; it simply took on a different form. Allow yourself to be challenged as you experience a story of God's mission - through the eyes of a prisoner who ran the race that was put before him - and the faithfulness of God through it all.
