Book Description
A Look into the Life of Dr. Castile Colbert Jr. In the "rat race" of life, there are often many instances that can bring us promotion, both physical and spiritual. In Dr. Castile Colbert Jr.'s third published work, You Ran Well, but What Hindered You?, he sheds new light, through the Word of God, on many of the major areas where our baggage has kept us from reaching our full potential and how we can recognize them. In many cases, we aren't aware of the hindrances until we've already gone through the obstacles. This book was written on behalf of patriarchs, or biblical characters, and individuals I know who knew the Lord but, through opposition from Satan, fell or did not maintain the course. One Bible character we knew was Saul, the first king of Israel chosen by the people because Israel wanted a king like other nations. They chose Saul not because of his qualifications but his size. When the twelve tribes wanted a leader, they chose one from the tribe of Benjamin, who hid from the selection, and the Lord told Samuel Saul was hidden among the stuff. When Samuel heard of the people's desires for a king, the Lord told Samuel they did not reject him but the Lord, and the Lord told them how this man would be. He will not be faithful to them and use his own and their sons and daughters to be his servants. After picking him, they realized who Saul was. The people of Israel became aware of who Saul was and wanted to get rid of him. They brought this to Samuel who told the Lord, and the Lord said, "I have rejected him because he has rejected me, and do not go to him any longer. I have selected me a king. Go to the house of Jesse and anoint his son, and remember the Lord does not look on the outside of man, or his stature. He looks at the heart." So, Samuel went the house of Jesse and anointed David. The Lord had already prepared David as shepherd of his people from his experience as a shepherd of his father's sheep. I also knew people who came to church, accepted the Lord, and eventually, because of being upset about a prayer that seemingly wasn't answered, stopped serving the Lord and started serving the creature of the world. I had a good friend whom I knew received salvation and started faithfully coming to church. Even though I, along with others, prayed for healing, eventually, a parent passed away. They got so upset that their faith was lost, and they fell back into that of which they were originally delivered. We must remember our ways are not his ways, and the Lord's will may not be our will, but he knows all things and what he allows is always for our good.

Book Description
And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:12-14) To fear God, you must first believe there is a God. To keep God's commandments, you must first have a love to know God's heart and His will for all people. Only then with love for God and love for your neighbor will you have a heart to keep God's commandments. Place your faith and your trust in the spoken words of the Father/Son. Many Christians seem to focused on what they see as a faith requirement for salvation and go no further. They don't see a need to love God nor to walk in His ways, no need to imitate Christ. The Father and Son yearn for a relationship through this life and the next. Don't worry about salvation after death; pursue a walk with God in the present, and do your best to imitate Christ in this life. Peace, joy, and happiness is in the walk with the Creator today. In that walk with the Father/Son, trials will continue to come, but now, you will have a strong hand at your side. And that strong hand will carry you through this life and the next! May you have a love and a joy to please the Creator and the provider of salvation through His Son! May you have a faithfulness that comes from the heart.

Cameo Choices: Trials and Dilemmas of Old Testament Teen Girls—Timeless Examples By: Tamara L. Knowles Cameo Choices is a collection of short stories retelling the stories of minor, and a few major, female persons mentioned in the Old Testament that I, as the author, consider to have been the age the modern world labels as teenagers. Each story is told with the teen girls as the center of the story, its focus. Telling of what happened, I then show how the trials those girls faced are, in essence, the trials and dilemmas teen girls still face today. Taking those examples, I also added Biblical Scripture to encourage today’s teens how to handle those same issues in their own lives. In each story, I have strived to portray those girls whose lives and stories of what happened so long ago (as told in the Bible) as living, real persons who hurt and made good and bad decisions as we still do today. I want to show the relevancy of scripture in not only their personal lives, but our lives today. To be honest, this book has also resonated with anyone related to, who works with, or knows teen girls too, for it offers verses and counsel how to handle some of life’s crises in teen girl’s lives.

Book Description
My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). This book is a cry to the souls of humanity. It uncovers the unhealthy mind-sets that have penetrated the church, causing leaders to surrender their wills to a false deception of the Word of God, leaving his people in a fragile and vulnerable state. Churches have been destroyed, families divided, and marriages shattered. It demonstrates how Gods people have allowed the spirit of deception to manipulate, control, divide, and conquer. It brings to the forefront the seriousness and undeniable need for emotional healing amongst the people of Goda healing that affects the hearts and minds, restoring health and wholeness in our very existence.
