After the introduction, the first section explains the Messiah’s purpose and focuses on the foundations for salvation through the Messiah. The second section focuses on emotional topics and how they affect your relationship with the Messiah. The root of many emotional issues is caused by bitterness, so the causes of bitterness and forgiveness are explained in simple terms easily understood by the reader and how they affect salvation. Next the reader explores love, compassion mercy, pride and humility and how they affect their relationship with God. Digging deeper into the emotional issues the reader learns God’s definition for lust and purity of heart.The next section deals with the intangible issues in the reader’s life. This includes faith, sanctification, repentance and the importance of total surrender to God. The holy Spirit is explained in detail with an emphasis on His purpose for you. Section four covers some of the symbolism in the Bible and tries to help the reader see things from the cultural view of Jesus time. The desire is to help the reader understand how symbolism points to salvation and the importance of events symbolically. Section five covers almost all the parables of Jesus found in the Gospels. The parables are grouped into broad categories including: “The Kingdom of God,” “Service and Obedience,” “Prayer,” “Humility,” “God’s Love,” “Jesus Return,” and “God’s Values.” The parables are explained in detail using the cultural setting of Jesus time.Section six is a brief overview of biblical history and Israel’s history. The next section begins with a discussion about the rapture at Christ’s second coming. The various points of view are discussed. Then the anti–Christ and False Prophet are explained. Revelation is covered extensively, but not by analyzing the symbolism. The first article is “Don’t fear the book of Revelation,” followed by “Revelation: The real Message,” These articles explain the purpose and message for Revelation and try to remove the fear factor that most people feel. The final section is designed to challenge your thinking and bring you closer to God.

The Legend of the Secret Flowers is a true story that took place in Memphis, Tennessee, once upon a time.It was just an ordinary day when Mama decided that the time was right to plant her bulbs in the garden. As with every other day, Mama enlisted the help of her four-year-old son to become her “special helper,” as she called him. This was no average assignment, but it was one that was to be esteemed and, of course, always followed by the reward of a delicious snack coupled with quality time.By virtue of the hidden nature of freshly planted bulbs, Mama’s special helper could not grasp why he could not see the flowers after all of his striving to bury the bulbs. It was then that Mama created the mystique of the secret flowers and told the boy how they were becoming something new in God’s rich soil.The Legend of the Secret Flowers became a teaching tool that reinforced several simple scriptural precepts, specifically the notion that God is always working on us, even when we cannot see the outcome. The boy grew taller but departed neither from the legend nor the lessons of the secret flowers that his mama told to him that one ordinary day. And Mama hid deep in her heart all the words God gave her as well. She remembered those secret flowers and the day with the four-year-old boy for many years to come but most especially in springtime when the flowers were in bloom.

"IT IS FINISHED." Our Lord Jesus spoke these words on the Cross not long before His death. Indeed, the promise of redemption that was given so long ago was finally fulfilled. Now all who would call upon the name of Jesus would be saved forevermore. Entering the rest of God was once again a reality. No more striving. No more toiling. In body, soul, and spirit, we could experience the presence and power of God. Yet how many Christians truly realize the fullness of their salvation? How many continue to live in fear, depression, condemnation, and lack? How many understand what was finished and who they truly are in Christ Jesus? Through the words in this devotional, you will find a beautiful unfolding of truth. You will come to understand what was God's heart and plan for you from the beginning, what really happened in the Garden of Eden, and who you truly are because of what Christ Jesus accomplished on the Cross. And as you read and grow each day in experiencing His love for you, you will come to know a joy and peace and victory beyond what you have even imagined. Truly, IT IS FINISHED."

Praise for God's creation rings like timeless bells, blows like a train from yesterday's valley announcing the joy of His rescue, relief, and plan-hope and a future beyond our imagination. Simple visions of His majesty and compassion flash through the pages of Wild Horses Run-Beyond the Sugared Hills as in the following selection from the poem, "Appaloosa Sky": You have blown lavender light on the hills. The afternoon is sinking into dusk, soaking into the ground of our breath . . .The appaloosa sky dapples with a thousand small clouds. They begin to merge as they drift over the hills. Hopebegins to rise within-it dapples our countenance.This collection of poems praises the Lord of all creation for speaking to and through us. He does this in spite of our sin and frailty. Consider the following excerpt from the poem, "The Invitation": Everything's in flux, and I'm fading with age as our culture draws the breath of its final images, its concluding sentences. This ending may drag on for years or decades; we cry for rescue with eyes of faith. You infuse us with a scent of home. We've welcomed everyone to join us-so many choose to decline.The pilgrimage revealed on these pages reflects the pain and suffering we all experience in this fallen world, especially in these postmodern days. God's people cry, "Come, Lord Jesus!" The following lines from the poem, "Seabird Passing" praise Him: It's You, Lord; You absorb A spout of tears as I press into the chest of Your Spirit. You touch me with a breath of Your boundless beauty.Ponder these verses from the poem, "Piano Solos":You interpret the music and dance to color us through winds by the ocean. You draw us through forests and over hills. But again, You take us back to Your lost cities, where we stumble through the brown haze; we learn to breathe through the back side of everything, including ourselves.

Duke Rodgers is an incredible young man with a miraculous story of perseverance, determination, and faith. Duke reveals the struggles endured by a person with a Traumatic Brain Injury and how the laws designed to protect and assist TBI survivors can be ignored by the very institutions that should have a willingness to educate and train. As Duke chronicles his life from the time of the injury through his struggles to graduate from the University of Missouri, the reader is introduced to a young man of great promise and potential whose life was changed on a Missouri highway when he was severely injured and, by all medical probabilities, should have died. Duke's miraculous story is one of inspiration and hope to all people who sometimes struggle and question if God is there. His story is proof of the miraculous healing power of God and how God's grace, mercy, and love can overcome even the most doubting expectations of man.

"Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son''s name, if thou canst tell?" (Proverbs 30:4). The answer to this riddle can be found in the revelation contained within this book. The Son''s identity, once concealed in the divine letters of the Hebrew alphabet... is now revealed! Yeshua said, "Before Abraham was, I am." Messiah is also known as the Poretz, (the one who will break through). He was present from the beginning of time for the salvation of the world! Each Hebrew letter points to Jesus/Yeshua as the Messiah to all the nations of the world. The mystery of Messiah Yeshua was once hidden in the divine Hebrew letters and the Torah. This breakthrough information has been revealed for such a time as this. Yeshua said, "Repent for the Kingdom of God is near! "This book is a glimpse of Yeshua in the Hebrew Alpha-Bet. Yeshua said, "In the volume of the book it is written of me". You are about to get a glimpse of Yeshua revealed in the Hebrew. For those not fluent in Hebrew, it is my hope that this book will pique your interest in learning our holy language. As a Jewish Rabbi and a believer in Yeshua the Messiah, I highly recommend Mystery of the Hebrew Letters to connect you to the Jewishness of Yeshua/Jesus. The Bible is a Jewish book from cover to cover and only in studying the Bible in Hebrew, its original language, will you begin to understand the richness of the Word of Elohim. As Christians, it''s time to reconnect to the Jewish Roots of our faith."  - Rabbi Deborah Brandt - Deborah''s Messianic Ministries-Beit Midrash Tefillah Hallel Congregation and Vice President and Instructor at The Judaic Studies Institute and University.  "Dr. Maria Goldstein, THANK YOU for writing this incredible book. As a Hebrew Christian for 46 years, I have never read anything like this! It solves the mystery of the Hebrew alphabet and reveals Yeshua/Jesus as the Son of God. Many of my questions have finally been answered by this book, which I highly and enthusiastically recommend!" -Pastor Meyer Stahl- Southern New Mexico Church of God, author, founder, producer, TV and radio host of What is Truth?

God's holy presence may have eluded you . . . but He truly wants for you to experience his glory. Christ in You . . . God's Manifest Presence in the World Today offers a comprehensive study of God's interaction with mankind through the ages. Dr. Sullivan's ability to express biblical-theology in creative and insightful ways is refreshing. Doug skillfully traces God's glorious presence through the Bible and shows how our loving Father reveals Himself to ordinary people, impacting their lives, and affecting others around them and even the places where these encounters occur. He desires that all believers powerfully embrace the holy presence of the Father in a personal and life-changing encounter just as the patriarchs of old experienced. Believers in our post-modern culture must resist contentment with stories and memories of past relationships with God and intentionally press forward into His manifest presence which empowers Christians to make a difference right where God places them . . . in the workplace, marketplace, and communities where we live our lives.He examines the biblical foundation for developing the necessary understanding of the true incarnational ministry impact of spirit-filled Christians in marketplace outreaches, and he provides hope for believers in the world today by showing that as they develop a true relationship with the LORD, God's revealed glory in them also transforms individuals in their communities. People find the evidence of God's manifest presence in relationships. God connects individually with humans and then impacts His people through these personal interactions. Understand God's presence as you have never understood it before. Christ in You . . . God's Manifest Presence in the World Today facilitates incarnational transformation in your life as you allow the holy presence of the Father to impact you as the power of the Holy Spirit changes you just like Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, and countless others.

Life is not a trip. Life is a journey. A trip is a short sprint, but a journey is a marathon race. This book will help you discover the very distinct difference between the two. Three roads. Three narrow roads. Each road helping to keep one man on the right road-the road that leads to eternal life. Some say that roads are meant to be traveled, but the truth of the matter is that some roads are meant to be avoided. In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus declared, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."Ups. Downs. Rights. Wrongs. Choices. Decisions. Everywhere we go, everywhere we look, everywhere we travel, there is always a decision that needs to be made. When we make the right choice, there is a reward. When we make the wrong choice, there is a consequence or a price to pay. While traveling this narrow road, there will be failures and deterrents, but we must continue to travel in the right direction. Changing our direction of travel ultimately leads to death and defeat. You will discover that the greatest part of traveling this narrow road is the fact that it will give you testimonials to share with others to help them along their way. You may even get a sermon to preach! Let's walk with Dr. King, as he explores this narrow road experience, to see where it leads. At the end of the day, the Lord expects all of us to choose him.

Congratulations! It's A Boy! Gods Gift: A Story of Love is inspired by a child of promise, our godson. This book is an ideal gift for special occasions such as baby showers, baptisms, and christenings.

As a single parent of three, I have had an extraordinary life. But even so I’ve had my share of heartbreaks. And I’ve come to know people who have experienced extreme highs and lows in their lives as well. With their blessings, I have told their stories so as to give them comfort and help them to heal and move on. I personally have always believed that no matter how tough things get, to succeed, it’s important to find the positive among the negative in life. It may not always be easy . . . but it is possible. These poems are my positives. Some relate overwhelming pain and sadness . . . while others express the most joyous moments in my life. I relate how anger can cripple as well as empower. It’s all in the way you perceive it. Writing has served as an outlet for my deepest felt emotions . . . some good, some bad . . . and at times the best therapy. But I also know that without Jehovah God in my life to strengthen and guide my very steps, I may have remained lost. I am forever grateful for his unending love and direction.

Everyone has a journey to go through in this life. On my journey I had specific questions about certain topics discussed in (My Psalms) are concerning: Spirituality, Haiti, Enemies, Family, Haters, Doubters, Thankfulness and Blessings. Most of my deep thoughts are about God. Most of the language is written in English and Haitian Creole. If you're interested in learning either language, then start reading.This author started writing poetry at a church auditorium. It was for an event organized by the Youth Group in that specific church. After the poem was recited for the audience and the event was over; the author received a lot of positive feedback. So, the author continued poetry as the years went by. This time it was for different varieties of events. These poems speak about different topics on the journey of life. They are mostly about God. The poems are written in English and Haitian Creole. For example, some of the author's famous poems are: "Why Am I Angry At The Lord?" "Problems" "Teenage Tribulation" "God, Can You Hear Me?" "Sin Gives A Bad Smell" "Quit Wasting Your Life" "Home Will Always Be Home" Who Is Your Coach?" and "Blessings Over Here"

My approach to the troubles I faced in life was to try and drink them away. I was only four years old the first time I got drunk on homemade wine. That first abuse of alcohol was the beginning of a life plagued with emotional and physical pain, broken relationships, and feelings of insecurity. By the time I was in my mid-twenties, this high school dropout had tried just about every kind of booze and drugs as a full-blown alcoholic and drug addict. At the lowest point in my life, I had almost given up on the possibility of ever achieving happiness in life, but God sent a heavenly angel to guide me back to the road that leads to eternal joy. That angel was in the form of a stranger who saw me as someone who needed help, and he began to minister to me and helped me to see that there was more to life than alcohol and drugs. At the age of forty-eight, I found a better way to deal with life's challenges. I found Jesus and committed my life to him.This book is the account of how a fearful, shy, and timid little boy turned to God to break away from the chains of fear, addiction, and unlawful living that held him captive for over four decades. The Scriptures tell us in Proverbs 3:5-6 to: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In everything acknowledge him and he will direct your path." This Scripture became my guide for living. This book is a reminder for anyone who may have forgotten, or has never known about the wonderful promises that God makes to all who believe in him. God's way is always the better way.
