Join us on a riveting supernatural sojourn of visions revealing snippets of evidence connected to five murdered co-eds from Gainesville, Florida, in 1990. A subsequent airplane ride to Florida with a television producer, film crew and a parapsychologist followed in an attempt to locate the murder weapon.From the wrong side of the supernatural realm to the incalculable spiritual and prophetic learning acquired at the feet of prophetic giants at MorningStar Ministries and beyond. Numbered among the humorous, serious, heartbreaking, and some downright scary anecdotes include the first prophetic word received detailing the writing of this book, allowing our readers a glimpse into who we are and what we are about. To be clear, my wife and I have never before written a book, nor are we teachers or scholars, or pastors, nor have we been accorded the accolades of men. The credentials we possess are our experiences with God and being fully known by Him. These experiences, more valuable than anything the world has to offer, are the reason we share them with you throughout this narrative. Our pilgrimage navigates the treacherous waters prophets struggle to swim and survive within the church today. Shining a light on the ignorance, unnecessary fear, envy and, in some cases, abuse will be recognized by all those with prophetic gifting endeavoring to find their place within the political church.  Tom recounts a ministry time modern-day Ananias and Sapphira episode that will have all God’s servants paying close attention; and when God placed our little Fellowship in the shadow of one of Catholicism’s greatest treasures it was definitely not for the purpose we assumed.Finally, it is no coincidence the earth is experiencing an uptick in both the number and magnitude of earthquakes. In the Bible when there were major events such as Jesus' crucifixion, when His tomb was opened and when Moses received the Ten Commandments, just to name a few, the earth quaked. Tom shares a timely prodigious prophetic message, from the Lord, for the church today exemplifying His absolute Love for His bride, and all of humanity.The psychic/supernatural visions, leaving the church and our struggles within the church are all experiences had by us and shared within our narrative to illustrate the trials and tribulations we walked through as God molded us for His purpose. They are steps in a journey. The Gainesville murder visions were an introduction into the spirit realm of which we were unfamiliar. It comprises a very small portion of the book.Striving for worldly possessions and a "top of the heap" mentality was tempered as we lost a once successful business, our home and additional properties. Our ministry and Fellowship did not rise to the level of what today's religious circles would consider successful, which was all part of God's plan for us. Today's church is focused upon money, power and control of the people, and they are not readily apt to give a message that would jeopardize their position, prestige and control.The major themes of our book are represented by fire, the anvil, hammer and sword. Just as metal is thrust into a fiery furnace, laid bare upon an anvil,  pounded out, plunged into cold water and repeated, again and again, until it is a finely honed and sharp two-edged sword, is exactly the purging, purifying and perfecting process God puts His prophets through. The church of today, as we know it, will be changed. Judgement comes first to the house of God and Jesus will return to a bride without spot or wrinkle or division. If we would properly judge ourselves now, we will not be judged. Even so, many are called out of the world and will gravitate to the institutional church, but few are chosen to Sonship. Jesus said, "Come out of her, so that you be not partakers of her sins."

The treatment of Type II diabetes is a massive, lucrative industry but terrible medicine. Finally, the myths, disinformation and malpractice responsible for the global pandemic of Type II Diabetes are exposed and refuted.This book is your detailed, practical go-to reference and hands-on guide for successfully curing Type II diabetes. The author is a scientist who has beaten his own diabetes. He covers the background, history and facts to teach you how you can treat and manage your Type II diabetes. You'll understand the nutrition and science of overall health, where your blood sugar normalizes naturally. Inform yourself, take back control of your health, and rid yourself of type II diabetes in under 90 days! Also:• Type I and Type II diabetes are very different diseases with only high blood glucose in common. Yet Type II diabetes is treated with the flawed assumption that both can be treated in like fashion. This mistake, never revisited until now, has actually made the situation much worse for Type II diabetics.• Insulin resistance is not a 'malfunction' needing to be fixed. Instead, it's the way that cells defend themselves against toxicity from too much glucose uptake. But conventional medicine overrides these natural defenses with drugs--forcing cells to take up far too much glucose, in order to clear it from the blood. Absent from this ill-founded 'logic' is how cells are supposed to metabolize all this excess glucose, and the harm it causes.• Type II diabetes is an out-of-control 'feedback loop' of escalating insulin resistance. Early in human history, this allowed the body to pack on necessary fat when carbohydrates were seasonally plentiful. Today's artificial state of 'permanent abundance' has interfered with the body's corrective phase. Learn how you can break the insulin resistance feedback loop and restore balance, in 90 days, by tapping into your body's own genetic programming. • You'll see through the myth that Type II Diabetes should be treated by reducing blood glucose with drugs. Learn why this approach actually worsens the risk of heart disease.• You'll understand why nearly everything we have been taught about a 'connection' between dietary fat and heart disease risk is dead wrong. You'll also learn the three ways that diabetes causes high blood pressure, and how this can be reversed, including the unique challenges faced by diabetics.• You'll get an honest and practical handbook that works and all the author's tips, experiences, mistakes and lessons learned in curing himself in less than 90 days. • You'll discover how to enjoy the benefits of fasting, without going hungry. And, you'll find out ways to convert your favorite recipes into ones that won't harm your health!• You will have the necessary tools and information to proceed with confidence, as you beat your own Type II diabetes!

New York City in the nineteenth century could be a brutal place for a child. A magnet to immigrants and the poor in search of jobs, the city was also a haven for gamblers, thieves and murderers. When adults fell victim to alcoholism, prostitution or drug addiction, their children were the ones who suffered the most. Temperance organizations such as the American Female Guardian Society stepped in, establishing orphanages and homes for unwed mothers and battered women: "homes for the friendless." Some of the children in the homes were orphans, but some were "surrendered" by parents who were unable to take care of them. Nearly 250,000 of these children were fostered out to families across the United States via the "orphan trains." Recently several Orphan Train Rider organizations have been formed, providing opportunities for the riders to reunite with family and loved ones, and to seek sources that provide clues to their roots. This book contains valuable entrance records from several of the surrender books of the AFGS Home for the Friendless in New York. Volunteers from the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America painstakingly indexed the surrender books, which had been left to the Rockland County Historical Society. Perhaps these records hold the key to your past! The Orleans County Genealogical Society held an Orphan Train Reenactment in Medina, New York, in 2004. Photos of that event illustrate the emotional journey of the Orphan Train Riders.

Tracing the history of Covington, Kentucky from its beginning in 1815 to the 21st century, the text and photographs depict a medium size city developing a solid manufacturing base and ample retail only to slide into economic decline with a falling population following World War II. Attention has been given to the city's annexations (and lack of), all of which bore significantly on Covington's fortunes.A second theme discusses an activist city government adopting policies leading to major new construction projects, both commercial and residential, as well as to the restoration of many historic homes and buildings, all of which have given the city a new vitality. The stages of growth, decline, and turnaround are discussed within the city's historic areas of the riverfront, public square, and Madison and Pike Streets.

Professor Tom Shippey is best known for his books 'The Road to Middle-earth' and 'J.R.R. Tolkien. Author of the Century'. Yet they are not the only contributions of his to Tolkien studies. Over the years, he has written and lectured widely on Tolkien-related topics. Unfortunately, many of his essays, though still topical, are no longer available. The current volume unites for the first time a selection of his older essays together with some new, as yet unpublished articles.

For many, Michael Jordan represented basketball, and in earlier generations baseball was associated with the legendary exploits of Babe Ruth. In the past, it was Jimmy Connors or John McEnroe that was the face of men's tennis with Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi following. Superstars and personality drives sports. For tennis, the face will be Andy Roddick.
