Book Description
Are you or someone you know being held captive by self-condemnation or guilt? Maybe you once served in a ministry but fell through mistake or sin, feeling there is no way back to God. When we fall, the world is quick to condemn us. Family members, friends, associates, and the self-righteous are quick to judge us guilty without recourse. While the world's condemnation is hurtful, it pales to the condemnation and guilt we put on ourselves. This condemnation comes from the devil, and he uses it to stifle any attempt to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off. Whenever the slimmest glimmer of hope appears, he quickly reminds us of what we have done. He will even use portions of Scripture to snuff out the faintest of hope's light. This keeps us broken and wondering what is the use of trying to reach out to God. Between these book covers resides a testimony to the good, the bad, and the ugly of the author's life. The accounts are raw and unvarnished. It is also a testimony of the immeasurable depth of God's love, God's grace, and God's mercy. The author shares how God took him into the wilderness to remake and repurpose him. God used an old ice tea glass to drive home the lesson The author prays sharing his story will set another captive free from the condemnation and guilt that keeps us from serving and honoring God. It doesn't matter who you are or what you have done, no one is outside the grasp of God's love, grace, and mercy. He uses our mistakes to build us up for his glory. He never stops caring.

God Fixed It

Pages : 205
Book Description
Molly was black-balled fifteen minutes after she arrived at church camp. Unable to shake off the unpopularity and low self-image that followed, she turned to God to fix it. God listened, maybe chuckled a bit and probably shook His head in sympathy at Molly's mishaps. Since girls were not allowed to wear pants to school, Molly tells this story: I would do as Mother suggested: whip my pants off in the cloakroom in the morning and straighten my skirt, then put my pants back on for the ride home after school. The storm, true to Mother's prediction, lasted all night. I jumped off my bike at the street crossing and pushed the front tire off the curb. In that split-second, my pants tumbled down circling my shoes. My skirt remained wadded up around my fanny. Kids behind me gasped, and someone started to laugh. The sound pierced the still morning air like laughter on Jack Benny's radio show. Within moments all the kids giggled and pointed at my struggle to get my pants up. The crossing guard's startled look made my face get hot with embarrassment before I could get my pants buttoned. I wanted to tell him he could see I had a skirt on ... Molly's inability to say no followed her into marriage. She used the saying, "You made your bed; now lie in it," to adjust to wrong decisions until what she wanted the most was denied. What would she do now?

Life-Study of Galatians
Author: Witness Lee
Publisher: Living Stream Ministry
ISBN: 0736350551
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
In the Lord’s recovery during the past five hundred years the church’s knowledge of the Lord and His truth has been continually progressing. This monumental and classical work by Brother Witness Lee builds upon and is a further development of all that the Lord has revealed to His church in the past centuries. It is filled with the revelation concerning the processed Triune God, the living Christ, the life-giving Spirit, the experience of life, and the definition and practice of the church. In this set Brother Lee has kept three basic principles that should rule and govern every believer in their interpretation, development, and expounding of the truths contained in the Scriptures. The first principle is that of the Triune God dispensing Himself into His chosen and redeemed people; the second principle is that we should interpret, develop, and expound the truths contained in the Bible with Christ for the church; and the third governing principle is Christ, the Spirit, life, and the church. No other study or exposition of the New Testament conveys the life nourishment or ushers the reader into the divine revelation of God’s holy Word according to His New Testament economy as this one does.

Thank God its Monday
Author: Robert Michael
Publisher: Infinite Word Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
With his family and career at risk, Jake Monday careens blindly toward unknown dangers that threaten to devastate America and tip the scales of power across the globe. On the run from a government that suspects him for treason, he and Hallie fight for their family and their country. The odds are stacked against them as an unseen player begins to exert its influence. Armed with faith in each other and a vague idea that their lives are not the only ones in the balance, Jake and Hallie resolve to end the threats. What they do not know is that an ancient power is rising again, spreading its influence across the world and leaving chaos in its wake. More is at stake than they can ever imagine, and the price to put a stop to it all may be more than they are willing to pay. FROM THE AUTHOR Thank God it's Monday is the third installment of a 7-part series of novellas. The Jake Monday Chronicles will also be included in two volumes of collected works: The Monday Collection, Volumes One and Volume Two. So, whether you enjoy your series one installment at a time, or you like to read a longer work, we have you covered. The Monday Collection, Volume One contains Manic Monday, A Month of Mondays, and Thank God it's Monday. All these installments are also available to purchase separately if you wish. The Monday Collection, Volume Two will be released in the fourth quarter of 2014 and will include the final four parts of the Jake Monday saga: Rainy Days and Mondays (March 2014), Can't Wait for Monday (May 2014), Mad Mad Monday (July 2014), and Monday Bloody Monday (September 2014). I get the question from time-to-time: what inspired you to write this story? With Jake Monday, my inspiration came from a multitude of sources. Authors like Ludlum, LeCarre, Fleming, and Follet come to mind. Also, I enjoy watching series on television: "Alias," "Heroes," "Lost," "Supernatural," "The X-Files," and "Hannibal." All of these have elements that influenced my writing. The Jake Monday Chronicles began in 2003 when I wrote a short story about an assassin named Jake Monday. I had no plans, really, but I had a sentence running through my head. The sentence that launched this series began: "Jake Monday hated Mondays more than any other day of the week." The idea that a high-profile assassin would be unhappy, unsatisfied, and struggling with his past and future, is not unique. I wanted to explore new areas of this theme. I thought of family, of a past hidden, of the moral challenge of an individual that finds himself caught in a massive global conspiracy while grappling with the choices he has made, willingly or not. So, Jake Monday is my Jason Bourne. Hallie is my Sidney Bristow (from Alias). My villains...well, they are all my own. I love to draw villains who are deep, believable, and scary. Not because they always represent the antithesis of the hero, but just the opposite: my villains are not much different than all of us. I do not believe in "grey areas," but I do believe the line between good and evil can be narrow. One wrong move and even someone like Jake Monday can be heading in the wrong direction.

Book Description
Akeela, King of Liiria, was a young and idealistic scholar who was determined to bring peace to his kingdom—a land that had been plagued by war with the neighboring kingdom of Reec for decades. Lukien, the Bronze Knight of Liiria, had been taken in by the royal family when, at fourteen, he saved Akeela's life, but he'd never forgotten the brutal lessons of the streets he'd grown up on. A bond of loyalty stronger than blood linked these two men—but no two souls could be more different. And as Akeela and Lukien entered their enemy's stronghold on a mission of peace, neither man could forsee the turmoil this historic mission would wreak on their lives. For, to seal the peace, King Karis of Reec would bestow upon Akeela the hand of his charming, beautiful, and accomplished daughter Cassandra. But Cassandra hid a terrible secret. She was experiencing the first symptoms of a disease which would threaten her life and cause unimaginable strife for all who loved her. For Akeela and Lukien, the quest for Cassandra's salvation would overwhelm every bond of loyalty, every point of honor, every dream of peace. For only the magical amulets known as the Eyes of God could halt the progress of Cassandra's illness. But the Eyes of God would also open the way to a magical stronghold which could tear their world apart and redefine the very nature of their reality.
