Drug abuse has been around the United States for decades. But the current generation is in the middle of taking it to a whole new level. The National Institute of Drug Abuse tracks overdoses. From 2002 to 2015, the number of overdoses in the U.S. went from around 20,000 to 50,000. Heroin seems to be the choice lately, with deaths from heroin overdoses climbing from 2,500 in 2010 to 13,000 in 2015. Meet Lily and Mark, individuals who had accepted Christ earlier in life, but were wandering through the Earth when we meet them. Lily is a heroin addict. Mark wants to save her but does not know how. When they meet, it was if they had known each other forever. Follow them on their journey, as each learns how to cope -with drugs and with the person on drugs. Will their friendship last? Will they ever find romance? Will they survive the perils of life around them?

Many of us have the same feelings regarding criticism. It crosses gender lines, religious lines, color lines, and race lines, and that is, no one readily likes to be criticized or critiqued. No one likes to be at fault, and no one likes to be the object of humiliation, but in order to become the person you were meant to be, being criticized or critiqued is par for the course. It is a process we all must endure. This guide is intended to provide the keys in becoming an even better woman. This guide is intended to help you discover the woman God intends for you to be, your sole purpose for being created. It may even help you in developing areas in your life that need improvement. Those areas that need improvement can be the exact reason why there is a lack of growth in your life. This guide will also make you examine yourself. You should ask yourself, "What kind of woman am I?" Then try to answer it. Am I the type of woman that gossips, makes others feel less than? Am I pessimistic or optimistic? Can I stand not being the center of attention? Am I petty? Am I prideful? Ask yourself those hard questions and answer honestly. Then ask someone who you know loves you those same questions, and be prepared to hear the truth. If becoming a better woman and identifying your purpose is truly one of your ultimate goals in life, do not be afraid to ask those hard questions of yourself.

God has made Himself so very plain to me in my life and in the last fifty-years with my husband. We have seen His hand working for us, with us, and to us. My desire is to first reach our family and to show that God is alive and well in a very mighty way in the life of all of His children. Most people are too superficial in their relationship with the Lord and do not see or understand His presence. My main goal is to make God real in everyday life and realize that we can live our life in the presence of the Almighty God by entering into the holiest of holies with Him each day. Our daily walk with the Lord should be lived in the conscious presence of God as we carry out our mundane, everyday duties of life. My prayer is that this book will enlighten, encourage, enable, and energize you to find a deeper relationship with our heavenly Father for His glory! I desire for the "candle of my life" to penetrate into the dark recesses of this world and light the way for the discouraged, despondent, and dejected people all over this earth.

Crossing the Borderline started out as a series of journal entries; some of which were e-mailed to T. R.'s therapist, pastor, and pastor's wife. They encouraged her to expand these stories of advocating for her own mental and emotional health. When this book was in its infancy, T. R. thought it was going to be quite different than what it became. She started out to write a-tell all about everything that had happened in her life. When she sat down and started writing, she realized that there were several things she wished she knew when she started out on this journey. It's about her journey through therapy, her need for medication, and finding out that God changes everything in life for the better. Taking one step of the journey after the next to find out that once you've finished crossing the borderline is when life just starts getting good, and that last step over the borderline is the first step of knowing that you are a person who is worthy of love and respect. So Crossing the Borderline is a book that T. R. hopes will encourage others who are dealing with mental and emotional health, encourage their friends and family members, and open the doors of communication and raise awareness for the needs of mental health and suicide awareness.For more information on Crossing the Borderline or T.

The centurion looked at the teacher who sat before him and was struck by the authority that emanated from him. "Rabbi, I have heard many great things about you and I know you are a teacher sent from God. My servant, whom I love, is very sick, almost unto death. I know that you can heal him if you will."Jesus said, "I will come and heal him.""Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed! I know, because I am under the authority of my superior officers and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, 'Go,' and they go, or 'Come,' and they come. And if I say to my servants, 'Do this or that,' they do it."When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd, he said to them, "I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all the land of Israel!"Jesus then turned to the centurion and said, "Go on home. What you have believed has happened."Faith. The writer of Hebrews defines it as "the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen." Jesus once told his disciples that the smallest amount of faith could bring about tremendous results, even to move mountains. But what does faith look like? Across the gospels are seven poignant stories of people who demonstrated a faith that dramatically changed not only their lives, but the lives of the people around them. A Grain of Mustard Seed presents these stories in a new expanded version as well as an eighth story that raises the question: What if all of these people met the Savior one last time?

With life growing inside of her, Talia Williams finally understood that love could no longer hold her abusive marriage together. To prevent losing another baby, she seeks refuge with her parents, but with Khalil hot on her trail, she is forced to move in with her sorority sister, Alanna Davis. Living under one roof gives the women an opportunity to reconcile past differences and together deal with love, pain, and life's transitions. Realizing that the search for his wife is in vain, Khalil retreats. He comes to accept the consequences of his actions and attempts to reconstruct his life, but an unexpected visitor from his past may destroy all that he has worked to rebuild. Eventually, futile efforts to handle life on her own push Talia into the arms of Christ and give her the hope that she needs to believe that her marriage can be healed. Just when all seems well, she is blindsided by tragedy, causing her faith and relationships to be stretched to the limit.Pain's Purpose is the first in a series that tells the story of reconciliation, forgiveness, and discovery of unconditional love.

The wolf will learn his lesson in the pages of this book.You can't really know somebody based on how they look.On Easter, we celebrate the sacrifice God made,He gave his one and only son so all our debts are paid."Greater love has no one than this:To lay down one's life for one's friends."(John 15:13 NIV)

"Warn the People Like in the Days of Noah" is a God-driven, inspired book. The servant of the Lord, Pastor Jones believes as God instructed Noah to build the Ark, he is using his children to compel men, women, boys, and girls of every nation, kindred and tongue to prepare for his return. It reveals how God does nothing without warning his servants the prophets. God's will is none perish. He is proving his great love by reminding us of Noah and the flood, so we can prepare to the saving of our house like Noah. This time it will be "fire" instead of water. The repeated love of God is seen in his grace, mercy, and longsuffering to us all. He cannot change 2 Peter 3, all his word has to come to pass; but like Noah, no one has to be destroyed if they will come into the ark of safety (Jesus Christ/redeeming blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and our God). His arms are outstretched still. Make haste like Jonah because time is escalating towards the coming of the Lord. Come to Jesus while you have time. Servant, Pastor Mary V. Jones is pastor of Holy Temple Church of Deliverance, 5702 Sellger Drive, Norfolk, VA 23502, continuing to warn the people like in the days of Noah.

The world today groans under the weight of many crushing problems, but it's not intellectuals, presidents, or political parties who have the solutions. The rescue agents are born-again believers who fall under the "great commission," and that's you. This command for you to go into the whole world is not given by One who would leave you an orphan. God will equip you, but you must do it His way. Once you're a believer, God appoints you to two roles immediately: One as the receiver of God's word; one as the deliverer of God's word. Many faithful men and women have little problem understanding the first role. They see themselves as student-learners who must grow in God's word and get enlightenment by the Holy Spirit. Many faithfully fulfill the biblical prerequisites of prayer and preparation, and they become quite good at understanding the scriptures. Over the years, the Holy Spirit guides them into deeper and deeper insights into God's word. It is as they move into the role of deliverer of God's word that they have problems. Many people will "shut" them out; the delivery has failed to adopt a biblically required role change. To be effective in this new role, God's messengers must "Speak with God's Voice" (title). This means they must speak authoritatively and prophetically. These biblical prerequisites have been very much misunderstood and abandoned, leaving the message from God's word a mere man-made endeavor. God may bless this type of message, but the only way to guarantee God's anointing is to deliver it His way with His voice. This book explains in detail how these scriptural requirements are put into effect. Remember! The power of the Holy Spirit (unction) is available to ALL believers, but it is not automatic. A dear evangelical preacher of more than thirty years, who pastors a church on the New York-Pennsylvania border, read this book and made the following comment: "I would highly recommend this book as required reading for every minister and ministerial student. It is one of the most practical cries for, and description of, 'anointed preaching' that I have read. For too long the church has tried to dazzle people with new music, new technologies and methods, and missed the high calling of preaching the Word under the power of the Holy Spirit! Thanks, Louie, for your inspiring words!" Pastor Dan Pickering &am

It was a dark time in my life where I was doing things wrong by stealing, cheating, and living a life full of sin. Not knowing that there were consequences to my actions. Living in a world that is fallen and evil to the core. I was suddenly lost and without hope and didn't know which way to turn. Prayers weren't being heard, and life was spinning out of control. One thing after another was coming at me.I was brought to my knees, and I found myself broken. The shame was unbearable and too much for me to bear. I prayed to the Lord, and nothing happened. I found myself crying for mercy to the Lord and begging for his forgiveness. I didn't know how I was going to get through this painful part in my life.As my cry entered the Lord's ears, he had answered me, and he told me that he has forgiven me and his peace he leaves with me. The peace he gave me was not of this world. He told me to serve him and not sin. He told me to walk uprightly before him and to always acknowledge his son, Jesus Christ, the savior of the world.The day the Lord touched me was the greatest day of my life. I suddenly had regrets, wishing I had known the Lord sooner in my life. The Lord is so good and merciful. If I had only given him my life sooner, I thought, and then he reminded me that I wouldn't have the testimony I have today if I would've known him sooner.God has perfect timing, and he is always on time. Those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Wait patiently upon the Lord, and he will place you upon the rock of salvation, and that is Jesus Christ.

"Experience teaches" has proven to be a true statement throughout my lifetime. The greatest and most profound experience happened when I was twelve years old. I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. That was the beginning of my faith journey, and it continues today. Every life experience taught a vital lesson and established faith as the bedrock of my existence.Faith for a Lifetime contains true stories of faith, miracles, and answered prayers. Hopefully, reading this book will inspire you to seek God's presence and experience the guiding power of the Holy Spirit.Nothing is so trivial or so difficult that we cannot share it with Him.It is God's good pleasure to be involved in our life every day and in every circumstance that touches our life.Life consists of joys and sorrows, good times, and challenging times, but every experience has a purpose and shapes us into a vessel of honor if we submit our lives to Him or a vessel of dishonor if we choose not to trust Him.The quest of life is to seek and find our destiny and purpose for being here. It can be found by faith in God, His Word, and hearing His voice.Faith grows as we use it. May yours last a lifetime.

Right from the very beginning in eternity past, God had planned history with His Son having a bride, a companion that would co-reign with Him and enjoy Him forever. That is the eternal purpose of God in creating a bride for His Son.If you read the Scripture from cover to cover, you would discover that God teaches us in a variety of different ways. Sometimes God uses powerful word pictures, sometimes He uses symbols, sometimes He uses examples of people both good and bad. Sometimes God uses a direct word, an authoritative word, sometimes He uses examples from nature, like a tree planted by the rivers of water that will not cease to bear fruit.This book highlights how God gave us an example of an ancient Jewish wedding ceremony that correlates with Christ, the Bridegroom, and His bride the church. From the father choosing a bride for his son, paying the bridal price, the bridegroom snatching his bride and bringing her to the bridal chamber, and then finally co-reigning with him in their household with him as the head. It is absolutely amazing the correlation between the two. What was a mystery to the Jews has been revealed. The mystery was that both Jew and Gentile called the church would be the bride of Christ.The bride of Christ is describing the kind of relationship we can have with Jesus. God is seeking willing lovers, who would voluntarily seek His heart, voluntarily surrender to Him, and voluntarily love Him with all their heart, soul and mind, and strength.

The title of this book came to me half way through writing my story. I, originally, was writing about my life and following my dreams. This book began as an autobiography. As I progressed through the book, God changed my path and reminded me of all that Ive been through. At this point, I realized that this book really wasnt about me. God took me back in time, and it became about what Ive been through and what I can do to help others. God guided me through this story and revealed my inner strength. He helped me put this story into words in order to help others in their lifes journey.May glory be to God.

Just a few moments before his death, my father looked straight ahead and with a calm voice said to me, Almost there! It has been 20 years since his homeward journey and I have been haunted by those words. What was he seeing that we couldnt see? In my career as a surgeon and a witness for Christ, I have observed many deaths when the last moments were calm and unafraid. Four years as a hospice volunteer brought me even more intimate with those last moments. I think that the valley David wrote of could also represent moments of extreme circumstances in our lives when we are in the Shadow of death: an automobile accident with severe injuries, the sudden loss of a child or spouse, the loss of a career, a consuming fire, a devastating flood, the birth of a stillborn.Do you have the Good Shepherd to guide you through these times? We only have this moment, this breath. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Do you have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding? Are you ready to walk through the valleys of your life? Come with me as I walk through the valley of the hospice and witness the grace and comfort that only God can provide for us. Journey with me and meet my Lord. There will be stops along the way as we see how the world deals with the valley. I pray that this book might be a life changing experience for you as we journey to Almost there.
