In 1993, he traveled to Russia and had an encounter with God, culminating in serving that nation for the next thirty years. He and wife, Mary, led many short term teams during that time, which deepened his convictions in relational discipleship. He traveled over much of Russia, teaching on discipleship, church planting and evangelism. He has mentored many young pastors who were called through the training schools he has conducted and he has long lasting relationships with them as a result. He also serves with Go Time Ministries in assisting a network of churches in Peru through discipleship training.

Can you imagine how it feels to have peace and unconditional love flowing all around you at a time when you are feeling so helpless and vulnerable?

Please join her on the pages inside as she recalls the experience that has brought her closer to understanding the depth of God's love and who He is.

Freddie's First Flight is the first of three children's books to be published about the life and times of Freddie the Great-tailed Grackle. Book one, Freddie's First Flight, chronicles the first few weeks of Freddie's life and that of his siblings Buddy and Maggie. It is a story about birth, love, joy, fear, excitement and achievement. The time comes when Freddie must leave the nest for the first time. He is overcome with fear and is only able to leave the nest with a little reassurance from his mother and help from his brother. He becomes so excited with the joy of flying that his lack of attention to other things going on around him almost results in him becoming the meal of the day for a bird of prey. Freddie learns a very valuable life lesson along the way. Bill Brown was born on August 27, 1947 to Bill and Wilma Brown. He was one of six children who were born and raised in Southeast Texas, County of Brazoria, and approximately 50 miles southwest of the city of Houston. Bill joined the Army in 1964 at the age of seventeen and served with the Eighty Second Airborne Division stationed at Fort Bragg North Carolina and First Cavalry Division in Vietnam. He was severely wounded during Operation Crazy Horse in May, 1966. His love and trust in God prevented him from being just another casualty of the war. He completed his stint with the Army in December, 1967. Bill's love for nature eventually leads him to receiving degrees in Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University and Fisheries Management at the University of Washington. After graduating from the University of Washington in 1975, Bill began a distinguished career with the USDA Forest Service as a Wildlife Biologist. He remained with the Forest Service until May, 2005 when he retired after thirty years of service. He now lives in southeast Texas with his wife Myra and cat, Sadie and dog Matty. He has four children, five grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Bill's inspiration to write a children's book about the life and times of a Great-tailed Grackle named Freddie comes from years of observing this magnificent creature in the wild.

About Tombstones to Cornerstones Many churches face hard times for many reasons, and while struggling to make the right decision for each unique congregation, many church leaders are finding the future is far less certain than ever before. The search for congregational identity, what to do with the church properties that when first developed were worth a fraction of what they are now, and how to serve a rapidly changing social and economic demographic have many congregations wondering if they should even exist at all. To help bring the hope of God back to the people, Rick Krug and Jessica Knapp bring insights and admonitions designed to help churches and their leaders navigate the unknown future.

Knowing what Mystery Babylon is, Will give hope, courage as you will know what to do to secure yourself and family. Did you know that the Bible teaches us how to make every evil word spoken against you backfire against those who speak them? Did you know that God guarantees that those who declares His Words will have His guaranteed protection from His mighty angels? Bible Code 7 is a revealed strategy of divine protection that flows from the weaponization of the Word of God, the weapon of warfare, SWORD of the spirit to defend, protect ourselves from all evil. In 1988, I had a great near death experience with the forces of darkness, I was led to use this strategy by the Holy Spirit and achieved total success a few days later. I was commanded by the Lord to write the BIBLE CODE 7 series of books. Bishop DaCosta was an avowed atheist for many years. He had his Damascus Road encounter with Jesus which changed his life completely. In 1988 he had a horrific demonic attack and near death encounter, it was then that God revealed BIBLE CODE 7 strategy to him which he applied and Jesus set him free. He strayed from the strategy and went through a wilderness journey with very low moments of discouragements and despair which blanketed his life. Jesus met him at his lowest moment and instructed him to write and apply BIBLE CODE 7 strategy. This is his testimony and experience.

Baker Faraday was a guitar player of prodigious ability. His future as a musician was without limitations. Until he was left broken and bleeding on the street, shot through the hand that held the notes of his dreams. All seemed lost.

This book is the testimony of a Hindu girl from India who spent three decades searching aimlessly for physical and emotional healing. This is my story. I share my desolate journey from Hinduism to Sikhism to Krishna, my wandering from various faith healers, my disillusionment from homeopathic and medical doctors. With my search exhausted, I hadn't received the healing I longed for; I began a dismal descent down a spiritless path. But with the help of an old friend and renewed spirit, I set out one last time to find the relief I sought. Destiny took me to a place that was heretofore unknown; I was led to a profound and unmistakable divine encounter with Jesus in 2011. Since then, I've been cured of depression, throbbing headaches, hypothyroidism, infertility, hyperpigmentation, recurring blisters, excruciating pain, hair loss, insomnia, and Celiac disease. The healing I received is not for me alone but is available to all who seek and ask for it!

Relationships are riddled with challenges. Our own selfishness sabotages our most noble efforts to love others. Our tendency towards rigid legalism inhibits our ability to receive and extend grace. When we've been deeply hurt by others, forgiveness feels like the hardest thing in the world. Compassion is an afterthought when human beings are reduced to political issues and talking points. Yet, Jesus modeled a radical way of self-giving love that was expressed through acts of scandalous grace, irrational forgiveness, and fierce compassion. And, He calls us to embrace this way of self-giving love. Acts of Defiance explores what it looks like for the heart to be transformed so that it goes against its natural, self-centered way of life.

This is a detailed account of my process of conversion from a naturalist, new age seeker to a love and faith ¬finder in Jesus Christ.

"The Daily Walk" by Beth Jackson is a series of short stories and related scriptures, to encourage you on your everyday walk with God. Many times, as Christians, we think we are the only one who has ever been through a tough situation. The Bible says, "None of us are perfect, no not one! We all have come short of the glory of God." Honestly, we are all just trying to do the absolute best we can in everyday life. Sometimes, it is just comforting to know that others have already been through this struggle, and maybe could offer some insight to help guide us through. But God is faithful! And when you don't know where to turn, God will show up and lead you. He will take your hand, and walk right beside of you. He promises that "He will never leave you." Like most people, Beth has really had to learn how to lean on Jesus. But her daily walk really began while encountering a major life event while living in the deep south of Savannah, Georgia. Every morning she would go to the beach to pray, study, and write her devotions. Each day as she made her way to the water, God would gift His presence as well in these intimate moments. Through His Word, He was faithful in teaching Beth about the next step that was always necessary for peace and prosperity in her own life. Remember, every day is another God given opportunity to live your life to the fullest. And when we take Jesus by the hand, and walk with Him, it is a journey that we will never soon forget. Despite all of our troubles, we must always remember to thank God for our individual "Daily Walk." Beth Jackson was taught about God in a little church in Flint, Michigan. But it wasn't until she moved to Savannah, Georgia, that she finally developed that personal relationship with God. When she went through a difficult time in her own personal life, Beth had to learn how to walk and talk with the one true master. She quickly realized that God was her only real peace. With God directing the path, many mornings she found herself sitting at the beach just writing letters to God. This became a true love story that was better than any Hallmark version. Every day for a year straight, she showed up at the beach, and everyday God was faithful to show up as well. Now, several years later, Beth and her family found their place within the hills of the Appalachian Mountains in the great state of West Virginia. Happy and content, she now lives on a horse farm with her true partner, her husband, Jeff, their four kids (and spouses), and their eight grandkids. Every day she still thanks God for her "Daily Walk."

It was a brilliant plan to control the world's population using a device in the television to manipulate the mind of the viewer, but something went wrong, horribly wrong. The device had destroyed their minds, and few could think for themselves. And so, civilization as it had once been known was ended. Not with a radioactive inferno with mutants left behind as had been predicted or by the complete dominance of one world government but by a self-imposed return to life as it had been in feudal times. But there was hope and Jason wanted to find it. Would he find the hope he was seeking? And what would come of his new friends in the process? There was Hope if he sought it. Raised in church and surrounded by books that sparked my imagination, this book was inevitable. All of my life's experiences are in this book: my love of the outdoors, riding horses as a young girl, and being quite good with a rifle. Writing of the village life comes from many trips to developing countries and seeing the non-technical life firsthand. I came to Christ early in life with a passion to lead others whether as a camp counselor or as a short-term missionary. It is my prayer that this book will have a positive impact on your life. I live in Orlando with my two fur babies, both rescued. When not writing I am gardening, reading, quilting, or ministering in my Church. I am a retired nurse having worked in many types of nursing but the most recent was 22 years at Walt Disney World as an Occupational Health Nurse.
