In the children's book by Robert and Marian Robertson, The Birds of Covey Island, Jacop finds himself hatched in a damp, dreary shoreline on Covey Island. Through his God-given talents, spirit of adventure, and bravery, he changes the entire way of life on Covey Island for the better. What we are is God's gift to us. What we do with it is our gift to God!-Anonymous Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as work- ing for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you receive and inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Col. 3:23-24 NIV) Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. (1 Pet. 4:10 NIV)
One of Many is based on a true story. This book will not only help readers look at illegal immigration from a different perspective, but it will also help readers understand what really happens on our Southern United States border. You will learn this not from someone who thinks they know, but from someone who was there and experienced it firsthand.Most media only tell you partial stories. They will either change or add to the story for their own benefit to get higher ratings. With my story, you will learn both sides of it, not only one side or the one that I prefer, or even the one that I think you should know. Knowledge is a powerful tool, and the meaning of it is the key to everything in life.An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.Proverbs 18:15 (ESV)
Our forgiveness must come from within. One technique for reaching that place of forgiveness is journaling. By writing down our thoughts and feelings with intention, we journey to a place where forgiveness is possible.

Get that warm, fuzzy feeling along with your young ones while enjoying quality time and instilling time-honored values at the same time! This book and series will be endearing to them. "Tina Hammon''s book, Granny and Papa, is a wonderfully kind and gentle parable about the relationship between young children and their grandparents. It demonstrates the power grandparents have to shape young lives. I believe it can also encourage small children to trust their elders and to expect good things in life." -JOAN HUNTER, AUTHOR/INTERNATIONAL EVANGELIST, TOMBALL, TEXAS "Tina Robertson''s children''s book is a very good book for children today. The devil has worked overtime to destroy family importance and values. The devil knows if he can destroy families, he can destroy churches, so he has worked hard to destroy families as never before. So many of the family importance and value have been lost today, and this little book shows the importance and the love for family. I pray that many children will read it and be blessed by it and long to re-establish God-ordained family love and values." -MEL BOND, INTERNATIONAL EVANGELIST/PASTOR AGAPE CHURCH/"LAST DAYS SIGNS AND WONDERS" TELEVISION PROGRAM, WENTZVILLE, MISSOURI "I have been privileged to read Granny and Papa, a Teenie Tale, by Tina Hammon Robertson. What she has written is thought-provoking, and the illustrations are awesome. I believe this series of books will be very inspirational and uplifting to children. I highly endorse this book." -DR. EDDIE MITCHELL, SENIOR PASTOR/FOUNDER RIVERSEDGE CHURCH AND RIVERSEDGE INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP, MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. Granny and Papa is the first of the Teenie Tale series. It is a true story, through a child''s eyes, of a farming couple during most of the 20th century and their amazing impact on their huge family, which still continues today. It transmits the value of the individual as well as the marriage unit. It transfers the balance of work and fun, and subtly compares the way people lived for thousands of years with the changes of the Modern Age. It exemplifies the peace and steadfastness of people who have had many afflictions and have endured past them. The importance of the role of a belief in God is demonstrated. Family dynamics of three generations are exhibited. And most of all, a sense of generational experience, security, purpose, and the continuity of life to life is explored and enjoyed. Adults will sense the nostalgia regarding the old ways and children will develop it, also, just from the reading experience!
Many people have asked me, "How can you live this life? How can you smile? How do you persevere?" My answer is this: my husband and I have been willing to fight the fight of faith. This was the very foundation that we built our family on. The trials I wrote about when I started my writing do not compare to the ones that would come. I never imagined the things I would have to face. Faith is the only thing that has given me the strength to carry on, and it is the only thing that will keep me going until I reach my happily ever after in the life that is to come.

"...if you haven''t figured it out, happiness is always fleeting, because it''s only temporary, and ultimately just a false dream, that is always chased and never caught." Why do many marriages, families, and careers appear to be perfect? The truth is...there is no such thing as a perfect life within all our relationships. We can be good illusionists, but every relationship has some kind of difficult obstacles that create friction, frustration, or pain. This leaves us feeling alone, angry, hopeless, or unsatisfied as purpose fades away.If you believe you have healthy relationships, or know you need help, you will have fun and be amazingly inspired as answers are literally at your fingertips, giving you many ah-ha moments, leading you to say, "Yes, that''s me, or us!"
I'M NOT WHO I USED TO BE!Have you ever felt lonely? Have you ever felt unloved? Have you ever felt hopeless and lacked the will to move forward? I know how you feel. I was there growing up. I was there as a wife, as a mother, as a grown-up daughter, as a friend, even just as a churchgoer, but God set me free from decades of cultural and familial chains and bondages and transformed me from a hopeless pessimist to a joyful optimist! Without the non-stop love of God, which persisted even when I didn't feel it, I could never have become the person I am today. In this book, you will see the source of overflowing joy that I found: Jesus Christ! A Korean-American immigrant's personal story of freedom, from cultural shame to everlasting joy in Christ. "Michelle shares a captivating account of her journey to overcome years of abuse in a close family relationship in a culture of shame. She will undoubtedly encourage many women with her story to find a way to not just survive but thrive in abusive relationships. She honestly recounts her struggles in learning the heart of Jesus to find a forgiveness that would ultimately lead to her being set free." -Lloyd Pulley, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ "Michelle has made herself completely and apologetically vulnerable here in shining a light into her many personal struggles in order to reveal God's persistent, glorious love and power in shattering chains and bondage en route to transforming her into who she is today." -Rev. Steve Schuessler, Lead Pastor of Lighthouse Christian Fellowship, NJ
If God wrote the Bible, what kind of evidence would He leave? If the Bible is the original creation account, we would expect most origin stories of other cultures to reflect and borrow elements from the original. Historical-We would expect geology, archaeology, and history to support the Bible. See God writing history in advance. See God protecting His words. Philosophical and logical coherence-The Bible should hang together as if written by one author with central themes running throughout. We should find prescience in the Bible. Evidence of scientific knowledge in the Bible is thousands of years ahead of man's discoveries. This book will take you along the journey to discover whether these pieces of evidence of the Bible being God's Word exist. It thus will demonstrate that ours is not a blind faith but a faith based upon evidence and sound reason.

This last book in the series of study notes and insights on women in the Bible is about the most important woman in your life: you. While writing these books, it came to me that all of the biblical women that I wrote about had life lessons to share with me and for me. It dawned on me that the Bible is about me. Inspired by the thought, I re-read the first chapter of the Bible, Genesis 1. Of course the Bible is about you and about me, for God created us in His image. It is there that I found what I had not really captured before. It is the core of the Bible and of this series, so the persona of the last book was now chosen. As the Bible is about God, it is also all about us. He provided the best life guide and self-help source one could ever find, anywhere and during any age. The powerful summit of this series of study notes and insights on women in the Bible is about all of the previous women, yet it is about the only one who really creates your world: you. Read, and receive the greatest gift God has given to us. A female reader: "These books are really good, you know-really. I have read them all, and I am going to give them as presents to my friends." A male reader: "I found insights I had not found myself that now I understand. And I have read the Bible many times! It is practical that the biblical text is included, as it makes it a 'specific biblical portion' that makes it easy for the reader." A female reader: "I am reading it again. It is so filled with wisdom that I have to re-read it. I love it. I'll never think about these women in the same way. I never knew all of this about them. And the life lessons based on their lives are working for me now. Imagine that!"

Have you ever felt like you were the only one going through something? Have you ever just wanted to know that you are not alone? Well, guess what? You are not alone. There are other people who have been through the same thing or something similar, and sometimes it helps to hear that, to read that, to know that. God places people in our path who are willing to share their testimony because testimonies help us get through. They give us encouragement, hope, and sometimes that extra push we need to make it to the finish line. God said in His Word that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. I truly hope and pray that you, too, will not only be encouraged in reading this book but will also become empowered to go out yourself and testify to help someone else overcome. "And they overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony" (Revelation 12:11).

While lying in the hospital bed with COVID-19, the Holy Spirit never left my side and my faith stayed strong. He comforts us in all our sufferings. Who can really comprehend His love to the fullest?

For his wounds have healed ours!"e; (1 Peter 2:24, TLB).
Our lives will encounter opposition, but just like the fire that gold must endure, when we endure through our trials we can be assured that we will emerge as pure gold. Rhonda grew up as a pastor's kid who had expectations of how life should be. In 2002 her daughter Tiana passed away from a rare condition, and that is when she discovered that she had to find her own faith. It was during that traumatic season and other seasons in her life that she found that enduring through pain and struggles refines us. We can choose to be defeated by our current life situations, or we can choose to grow and trust that God is working in the midst. This devotional will encourage and inspire you to keep going in the midst of your circumstances.
