Have you ever wondered why bad things happen to good people? From the time we began our ministry, we served with one purpose: to love people as God did. This is the story of our journey, from humble beginnings and pastoring small churches in our quest to pour the love of Jesus in sometimes unlovable people. Follow us on our journey through the struggles, triumphs, and the personal tragedy of losing our only child. In all these things, we found power far greater to hold on to through the storms of life and witnessed countless miracles and the faithfulness of God. We once heard a minister friend in one of his sermons share, "e;The church is the only place we kill our wounded."e; As you read our story, it is our sincere prayer that you too will discover that God is a good God and wants only good things for you. You have a divine destiny, a faith walk God has chosen just for you. Over and over again, God showed himself to be our source of strength, comfort, refuge, and provider. That's why we say "e;Jesus, He is our everything!"e;

Joe Lee Anderson just received his veterinarian license and is eager to open up his own equine clinic. He already has a five-year plan mapped out. That is, until his mother, Zoe Anderson, interrupts that plan when she tells him Jake Garrison, the father he never knew, is ill and possibly dying. He is further shaken when his mother tells him she not only wants to go to Oklahoma to see his father but also wants him to go with her. Much to their surprise, when they arrive in Oklahoma, they find Jake is very wealthy and has another son, JW, and when Joe Lee meets his brother for the first time, he realizes they have more in common than just the same father. After an emotional reunion, Jake and Zoe rekindle their romance, and the brothers face their own issues regarding their reunion. Sadly, when tragedy strikes, the brothers are forced to learn quickly how to work together for the sake of family, and through this tragedy, they learn to love and trust one another. A Cowboy's Heart knows real love is not in the carnal desires of the flesh but the eternal, unconditional love of Jesus Christ.

This book is to show the importance of trying. Don't give up too easily. There is always something or someone there to help in some way. If you fail the first time, try again. Sometimes it can be the show of strength to work hard for what you want.

The National Institute of Mental Health estimates sixteen million adults in the United States suffer from some form of depression. The World Health Organization estimates 350 million people in the world suffer from depression. Over thirty thousand suicides take place in America each year above sixty percent suffered from depression. The suicide epidemic has become the fourth leading cause of death among adults ages eighteen to sixty-five. This sermon topic seems to be overlooked by our pulpits today. There are millions of Christians within the 350 million suffering from depression. These brothers and sisters in Christ are suffering from something they cannot control. They awake each day to another day of dread, crying out to God for relief with none in sight. Lost in a dark, never ending tunnel, looking for a way out. No light, no hope, and no direction. There is a stigma attached to being a Christian suffering from depression because we believe this is not supposed to happen to real Christians. After all, aren't we to be content in all things? We are to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. How do we share our condition with other Christians who are void of understanding? We are not alone in our fight to drive this beast out of our lives. There are millions fighting this battle each day. Searching for the light at the end of the tunnel. The time has come to talk about depression in Christianity.

The title was inspired by a sermon at church many years ago. This book is about overcoming a hurtful childhood and the ability to forgive and live a normal productive life. It is meant to encourage those who have had similar experiences and show that through traumatic events and a low self-esteem, one can have a good, useful life filled with love and usefulness. God loves a broken, not-so-perfect woman with a contrite heart who is willing to be used by Him, in whatever place He wants her. That goes for men as well. This book is written to be a glory to God and His great love!

Victory in the Valley is an inspiring testament of the redemptive power of God and a reflection of the unwavering faith Pastor Domeka Kelley possessed in the power of God and His ability to sustain him through every affliction. This book is a window into the life and journey of Domeka as he experiences pitfalls and setbacks, leading him into the darkest period of his life, which he refers to as his "e;Valley Experience."e; A valley is defined as a low place or area situated between mountains or hills, and in scripture, valleys are symbolic for difficulties and hardships, while mountains are symbolic for elevation or high place. In this book, Domeka understands although he is in the valley at his lowest, he's simply in between mountains, which is his high place. Equipped with the Word of God and the support of his wife Jessica and children Bryan, Nakia, Malik, and Leyah; Domeka faces every challenge with a smile bigger than his problems, knowing God brought him to it only to bring him through it. This book is relevant to all teaching biblical principles and presenting practical truths while answering two of the most difficult but common questions while in the midst of storms, trials, valleys or simply the fight of your life: How did I get here, and when is it going to be over?"e;When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on"e;. Franklin D Roosevelt

When I was in elementary school, they would have us write stories, which I really enjoyed. However, my handwriting was not very good and I could not read, but that did not stop me from trying to get my stories on paper. My mother would sometimes turn off the television when we were young so we could have family time. I would run off to get my stories I had written. I was so excited and couldn't wait to share my stories with my family, but they had a hard time understanding what I was saying as I struggled to read what I had written, so they didn't understand me or my stories. I never thought I would be a writer, because in my mind, a writer needs to be able to spell, read, comprehend, and understand what they are reading, and all of those things are very hard for me. When God told me I was going to be a writer and share all of my stories I've written, as well as new ones, I told him all the reasons why I couldn't be a writer. He told me I just needed someone to hear my stories. God told me I need to be patient, honor him, continue to study his word, and pray for others. As I listened to all that God was telling me, I realized that I had learned all he had been telling me on the farm, and that is why God has chosen me to be a writer for this hurting world.

Get-Along Stories: A Book of Modern Fables is a collection of short stories using an assortment of nonhuman characters, which were endowed by the author with some very human characteristics including envy, prejudice, egotism, and pride, but also friendliness, compassion, empathy, and love. Every fable has a moral with the underlying theme being that we do not all have to be the same to get along in this world.

The inspiration for the poems in this book was taken from stories in the Holy Bible, mainly from the life of Jesus, beginning with the visit of the Angel Gabriel to his mother Mary "e;The Annunciation."e; Many aspects of Jesus character are reflected in these poems, such as forgiveness, truth, self-knowledge, and peace (he was known as the Prince of Peace). The new commandment he gave his disciples before his death inspired the poem "e;The Greatest Commandment."e; The betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' own disciples, was the subject of a poem and Simon Peter denying that he knew Jesus was another amazing story. Then came the Crucifixion portrayed in the poem "e;The Easter Tale,"e; which was followed by the story of the Resurrection "e;Christ is Risen."e; Next was the poem about Mary Magdalene weeping at the empty tomb where Jesus' body had been laid. When Jesus appeared before her, she did not recognize him until he spoke her name - "e;Mary."e; What a moment that must have been for her! "e;Pentecost"e; was the next poem, which tells of how the disciples obeyed Jesus' command to wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be bestowed upon them. The crowd were amazed by the things the Disciples said and did after receiving the Holy Spirit!Some poems even came to the author during the night. Truly they were Blessings from Heaven, which became the title of this book.

Norman Weber was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He is a CPA and has spent twenty years as a VP of finance for a twenty-million-dollar company and twenty-two years in public accounting and consulting. He became Spirit filled in 1973, and at a Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship (FGBMF) convention in Detroit, Michigan, he began to understand how to hear the voice of the Lord and perfected this in the next few years. He was a national director in Canada for FGBMF for nine years and served as the national treasurer during this time. He retired from public accounting in 1999 and moved to the rural area outside Owen Sound, Ontario, and runs an organic farm, including 2,800 organic apple trees and vegetables. He has spoken throughout Canada and in the United States and Australia. He moves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. God moved his heart to write this book containing one hundred spirit-filled testimonies on what God has worked supernaturally through him. In 2014, the Holy Spirit took Norman to the third heaven and showed him the body parts warehouse. In 2016, God instructed him to increase his Holy Spirit ministry by praying for new body parts, and the last chapter shares how twenty-three people received new body parts in 2016. This book demonstrates how Christians today can minster under the leading of the Holy Spirit in healings, miracles, deliverances, financial prosperity, and how to follow God in everyday activities.

In a day when the church's voice is increasingly silenced by the world's opposition, a call to stand for the good fight of faith must be made. But in God's call to His people, He asks them to stand up by first kneeling down. In an address to Solomon, God said: "e;If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves...then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land."e; The first motion toward the awesome, sovereign God is downward, in humility. The title of the book, Before Honor, is taken from a verse from Solomon's Proverbs: "e;Before honor is humility."e; Before a hearing from heaven and preceding any honor to God or from Him is humility. The author of the book confirms this principle of humility with a plethora of Biblical evidence. Using a Biblical overview, the writer demonstrates the continuity of the theme from Genesis to Revelation, thus supporting the claim that humility is a fundamental attribute of God and the only attitude a follower can have that exalts and glorifies Christ. Though pride, the inverse of humility, is a destructive force, humility is a beneficent one. Humility is the hope of revival for all God's people.

Do you desire a passion for God's Word? A passion like you feel you should have, like you always wanted to have, like you used to have? If the answer is yes, then this book is for you. I've written this book for the average Joe and Joanne, people just like you and me, who don't have a theology degree or a professional ministry position but do have a desire to be able to understand and appreciate God's Word and develop a habit of honoring it daily. The topics in this book are actually lessons from my small group that I have had the privilege of leading for many years. My hope and prayer is that this enriches you, speaks life to you, and that the Holy Spirit would "e;open the eyes of your heart"e; to fall in love with God's love letter to you. You will find twenty-four chapters on topics that I believe are central to the Christian faith and that are ideal for your own devotional time or even to use as a guide for you-yes, you-to teach to a small group or cell group. Simple in presentation, yet profound in impact.

The book Forever In Your Presence is a reminder that no matter where we are on our path through life's journey, God is forever watching over us, guiding us and helping us from our very creation in the womb, throughout life and to the grave and beyond into His Kingdom. Isaiah 41:10 and Psalm 139 say it all so beautifully. The path in the woods represents the path we choose to take on our journey through life. The sun rays lighting the path symbolize God's presence and leading us along the way. If we stray from His path, we will have struggles but He will patiently wait until we see the light and return to the path He has always planned for our lives. Then we can glorify Him and find His peace and blessings.

The greatest generation will always be one of the most interesting times in American history. Why was this true? I had the privilege to be born in this period in beautiful historical Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I write this book as I saw it as a young boy. I was blessed with a good memory and an interest in all the things happening around me growing up in a small community, but a very unusual community during the Second World War. I will share in this book the people, our lives, how we lived, worked, played, and fought a war that affected and consumed us in everything we did. If you like nostalgia, which includes the Second World War, you will see it from a young boy's view, which will include many things you probably never knew or thought about-from the customs and people in a Pennsylvania Dutch community to a German American Bund camp that I had personal contact with; my family's involvement in the war; our small community's impact with lives given; sacrifices made; the number of generals from a population of 2,500 people; and probably the largest gauge plant in America. I will relate the fears and joys as a young boy from the air-raid drills, the holiday customs, our education, medical practices, family life, respect for adults and country, and spiritual impact at that time. There is a different world to be seen through the eyes of a child that is lost when we become adults. I believe I have captured that different world.

The fairy tale book is about an ailing princess named Misty. She is confined in the palace because of the rain and mist that prevails over the land. Her father, the king, is deeply concerned and goes to his people to find a solution. In the meantime, a fairy godmother hears of the princess's blight. The fairy, with her magic wand, creates an invisible bubble, and a parasol is made by the wood cutter and his wife. All this is done to protect the princess from the inclement climate. The princess is able to enjoy the outer world, and the parasol takes her to many lands.

For years, when I would be alone on some of my deployments with the military, I used to ask why am I here, but there was no answer. When I would go through some trials, I used to ask myself, "e;who hears me when I cry"e;? I knew of God, but did not "e;know"e; him. He hears me when I cry.

Compiled with psalms, prophecies, and short stories, North and South Gate is a tale of two voices that reveals each of man's final destination. The voice of God, the Northerner, to the righteous man as he continues to journey from the wilderness toward heaven in contrast with the voice of the adversary, the Grey Wolf, in his pursuit to lead the lost man away from God into eternal alienation. North and South Gate is inspired by the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, "e;Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it"e; (Matt. 7:13 NIV).

A full 75 percent of the Bible is the Old Testament. If one of your kids, or your coworkers, or your friends were to ask you about the Old Testament, could you talk knowledgably about it? When you pastor says that your church believes in the Old Testament because the whole Bible is about Jesus, can you even imagine what he's talking about? In my experience, Christians often know stories from the Old Testament, or maybe have memorized verses from it, but very few would say that they understand it. That's where I stood not long ago, so I set out to do something about it. Frankly, without help, the Old Testament can be difficult to read, let alone understand. But with a little guidance, you can not only understand it, you can appreciate how it harmonizes with the New Testament and you can see how it is so foundational to your faith. I put together this book as I earnestly studied my way through the Old Testament. My hope is that I have taken hundreds of hours of reading and work, and summarized it into a book that can be used by Christians who just don't have hundreds of hours to invest. This book combines the best of what I've read and studied about the Old Testament. It is part book-read it through, or select areas of interest from the summaries. It is part Bible study guide-use the summaries to study or lead a Bible study group. It is part commentary-use it to complement your Old Testament reading. The Old Testament is the story that Jesus completes, and the promise that Jesus fulfills. Are you willing to invest about an hour per week for a year in order to see how this is true? Learn the name, nature, attributes, and character of God. Learn biblical principles, patterns, and promises. Learn about Hebrew culture, language, and history in the context of world history. Learn of the prophecies of hope through the Messiah. Learn how the Old Testament testifies to Jesus throughout!Share this adventure with me! Take the first step! Start down the path! You will find it one of the most fulfilling things you've ever done!

In The Forty Faces of God, I take you through scriptures that show you the characters of our God relating to the number 40 with the revelation of numbers. Numbers have strong meaning in the kingdom of God.We are destroyed by our lack of knowledge, and that knowledge is of God. For example, the number 6 means to destroy the works of the devil. David had a six hundred-man army, and the Star of David had six points, and what did David do? He destroyed the enemies of Israel. Chapter 6 of Ephesians tells us how to destroy the fiery attacks of the enemy. The number 40 means spiritual maturity and the more we know God, the more we mature. After you read this book, you will know God in a much better way, which will make you a much better disciple of Jesus-make you much stronger in your walk and display of the power God in your life in this evil and perverse world.Dwayne Anthony Velasquez Hill was born April 9, 1964, in the Abraham Lincoln Courts Housing Projects on the west side of San Antonio-a gang-and-drug-saturated neighborhood. From his childhood he witnessed violence, murder, and drug dealing. At seventeen, he joined the US Navy after graduation. After the Navy, he abused alcohol and drugs and became a murderous-minded person until he met his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In and out of jail and twice in prison, the Lord started to teach Dwayne his way in those lonely prison cells, and he became a teacher of the gospel there in the jails and prisons. Now being fully persuaded of his purpose, Dwayne now goes into the prisons teaching and preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gail Thomas, author of Healing Prayers in Jesus' Name for Children, along with her coauthor and her wonderful mother, Jean Castelow, wrote this book to glorify Jesus and to honor their Heavenly Father. This children's book, shows photographs of nature taken by Gail, taken where they lived together at Lake Seminole near Donalsonville, Georgia. Her mama helped her pair them with inspiring prayers, sent by the Holy Spirit in 2007. This mother-and-daughter team were together for four years, and Gail shares that her sweet mama became very sick and went to heaven. While there, Jesus asked her to help and encourage her daughter to publish this children's book first, since babies and children were so important to the kingdom of God. This book was Mrs. Jean's heart, and she sadly passed away on August 3, 2016. Gail is determined to have this dream come alive and was so happy to trust Faith Christian Publishing Company to make this happen to honor Jesus Christ. We pray it will touch anyone who reads them, especially children.

Navigating the church construction process can be a daunting task for a seasoned professional and even more so for a first time project manager. In his book, Terry Harpool discusses many of the aspects of this process beginning with prayer. Prayer is an absolutely essential requirement in seeking God's will from the very start of the project to its completion. Paramount to the success of the construction process is the selection of a qualified project manager to oversee the construction. This is vital, along with selecting a group of church experts, to help provide the needed inputs for requirements and budget. The book also provides tips on how to select the most qualified architect and general contractor based on the specific needs of the church. This ensures the building is specifically designed to meet church requirements and that it can be built on time and on budget. Also in the book, there is a discussion of the bid letter contents. These include special instructions to the general contractor, which help outline the parameters of the project and also prevents confusion during the construction phase. The book discusses many of the pitfalls that can occur during the construction phase with valuable insight on how to avoid these pitfalls. Additionally, there is a discussion of the dreaded "e;change order"e; and how it can impact the project. The critical relationship of "e;time, quality, and money"e; is addressed in the book, providing insight of how these three elements are interrelated in church construction. And finally, the book emphasizes the importance of giving thanks to God for the successful completion and celebration of the new church building. With project completion, the ultimate realization for the project manager is knowing that he has laid up treasure for his faithfulness in a job "e;well done."e;

Unlocking Your True Identity and DestinyIn a time when the world has been on a path of removing God from manyplaces and many things, this book reveals what happens when you inviteHim in. Partnering with the Lord changes everything. The One who created you knows your true identity and destiny. He knitwithin you many gifts, talents, and abilities that you will need in this lifetime. In order to accomplish the good plans He alone has predestined for each oneof us, we must tap into what has been deposited. This book is a testimony of the depth of God's love and healing power and howHe, once invited in, changed my life completely. The person I had become wasshaped by my life's experiences, whether good, bad, or ugly. Although this book is written from my experience when I asked the Lord tohelp me with my lifelong physical weight issue, He revealed how just this onething, interwoven and connected to everything else in my life, has kept mefrom who He created me to be. As I partnered with Him, he unraveled "e;the weight of it all,"e; and revealed whatneeded to be addressed in my life in order for me to come into my God-givenidentity and destiny. Yours may not be a physical weight issue, but the path to healing is still the same. God created you, and He is the One who deposited those things you wouldneed. He has good plans for your life. Allow Him to reveal your true identity anddestiny, when you come out from under "e;the weight of it all"e;.

Chriseline Beaubrun was fifty-seven years old when she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. A widowed mother of two, Chris has just completed her master's degree in nursing, and she felt that she had the skills to deal with life's challenges. But her biggest challenge hit her like a blow to the stomach when her cardiologist delivered the official diagnosis. Congestive heart failure? How could that be? As a nurse, Chris had worked hard all her adult life and had taken care of her body. But there was no denying the cold, hard medical facts. As Chris's symptoms worsened despite medications and a defibrillator implanted in her chest, as she reached the point at which she was unable to take a single shallow breath without intense pain, her options for long-term survival were pared down to one: a heart transplant. This was her last, best chance, and because she was determined to survive, she agreed to interview for the position of organ recipient. She got the job and was added to the transplant list, and now Chris tells her story of the many ups and downs facing heart transplant patients-the anxiety of waiting for a heart that might never come, months of hospitalization as her condition worsened, and finally the call that a heart was on the way and the surgery itself. Afterward came the satisfaction of taking her first deep breath in more than a year and leaving the hospital to live her brand new life. Throughout the long process of recovery, Chris experienced both successes and setbacks. But her new heart remained strong, as did the support of her family, friends, and colleagues. Chris hopes that her book will inform and inspire organ transplant recipients and their families.

God seems to be "e;out there somewhere,"e; a distant and a most powerful presence that we need to respect and most time fear. I want you to know that we don't need to be afraid or hide anymore. I want to challenge you to come out of the shadows, and get personal with an almighty God. In this book I want to make an introduction of who He is, what He has done for you, and what He wants to do for you. We have a life journey but God also had a journey through time to fulfill His desire for a family of His own. Jesus came to introduce God to us as father and make a way whereby we can become one of His children. God and Jesus had an intimate father/son relationship and it is available for anyone who wants to be part of this family. He will welcome you with open arms to join the family no matter how you have spent your life. You can enjoy this loving relationship and be forever His.

Everyone experiences pain at one time or another. For some of us, a few days of pain turn into weeks, months, years, and then decades. What do you do when you feel betrayed by your own body? How does faith fit into a life of pain? What can you do when, like Paul, God says, "e;No"e; to your request for healing? Can God receive glory from your life? Can you be used in spite of your limitations? These are a few of the questions I have asked as I've had to learn to live with chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia. In Called to a Life of Pain, I share the life lessons Abba has taught me. Sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, always honest, Called to a Life of Pain for HIS Glory is a call to arms for those who are hurting. Don't give up! Don't quit! You matter, you can make a difference in God's kingdom, your pain has a purpose.

God communicates with me, protects me, and shows me His love through an angel, which He gave to me when I was born in Martinez, Georgia, in 1936. My story takes place in the small towns of Martinez and Evans, Georgia until I became seventeen years of age. After high school graduation, I married a Methodist minister and the South Carolina Methodist bishop sent us to churches in different areas of South Carolina. In this book, the reader will find out exactly how life was spent in each of these churches. When my husband died in 2006, I moved to Rock Hill, South Carolina, and that is where I live now. My angel has provided guidance and assistance to me throughout my entire life and this fact is illustrated in this book through actual experiences. As you see, my angel on the front of this book is wearing a tilted halo to show the world that life is not always perfect, but we can receive guidance to help us through all of life's situations. Three times I have seen my angel in person. Other times, I have felt the angel's presence and heard the words spoken by my angel. My angel lets me know that God is near me. Read this book to discover the three times my angel thought it was most important to visit me in person. As you read, I pray that you will be aware of your angel in your life guiding you. Remember, God is your Heavenly Father and His desire is to love you. Your faith will acknowledge the hand of God caring for you.
