Paused momentarily in our garden to ponder a monarch butterfly, I began thinking about the word metamorphosis. Now at seventy years, it seemed my whole life had been a metamorphosis. It means change in form. The more I thought about it, the more I realized the wonderful design and the grandeur of which leaves one speechless. That butterfly was created by the Great Designer, our God. Can you see the metamorphosis in your own life? My occupation just didn’t happen by chance. My faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior was providential ordained, not chance. The greatest metamorphosis in our lives will come at its end, and if one is not a believer in Christ, the mystery will play itself out in eternity. It is my prayer and purpose to labor in the fields ripe for harvest and take you with me when I cross that Jordan River. No one else may be praying for you but having been where you are, we will together journey the metamorphosis of God’s world. “Ye must be born again” (John 3:3)! 

Hai, an eight year old child growing up in the war-torn country of Vietnam in the 1950s, witnesses a devastating blow to his family when Communist agents kidnap his older brother. His older brother''s long-time friend, a secret Communist agent is the villain behind this horrendous crime. Almost all of the Communist abduction victims vanish forever or their beheaded corpses are dumped at the edge of the thick woods in his poor little village. This incident creates a crease in Hai''s mind about the Communists'' grievous treatment of the innocent Vietnamese people. With the full support of the Communist bloc, the guerrilla war initiated by the Communist North Vietnam escalated to a full-scale conventional engagement and ultimately the South Vietnamese government collapses in 1975. The new totalitarian regime revokes all of the people''s basic freedoms and creates havoc for the country''s economy by establishing highly inefficient agriculture cooperatives and a moribund command economy policy. The oppression of freedom, collapse of the economy, the confiscation of people''s properties and forcing them to the new economic zone pushes people to flee the country by any means imaginable. Recalling painful memories from his own childhood and seeing nothing but a dark future for his children, Hai decides to flee the country. Inflicted with poverty and the strict control of the government''s brutal security apparatus, Hai and his friends work tirelessly in this precarious situation to escape Communist Vietnam. Their plan is dangerous, bold and risky but they successfully flee the country in 1981 by boat through the heavily guarded river mouth of Rach Gia province in the South of Vietnam.Immigrating to the USA, the family works very hard to assimilate themselves in this wonderful country and they are now living a comfortable life in North Carolina.

Everyone has been wounded. Some wounds recall childhood hurts; some are more recent. They may be personal through family or close friends, or they can be generated by workplace issues with a boss or coworker. No matter where they originate, woundedness is a human malady stemming from our brokenness and it makes us question the very purpose of the hurts we experience.Come along with the author as she takes us into one man's journey of being wounded and how his story affects ours. Joseph was a man, just like us, who experienced the depth of painful circumstances and went on to a height he never dreamed. As we study his life, we learn that God was after his heart, just as He is after ours and mine. Where there is adversity, there is fear. But God desires to transform our fear into faith. He pursues us in the depths of pain in order to bring us to His glory. Even though our hearts have been wounded by people, we have a God who heals our wounds and, through the process of fellowship with Him, shows us His heart.

Follow along on Megan and Jonathan's life-changing journey of personal challenges, entertaining mishaps, and growing friendships to the heartfelt ending and see how God's promise to his people was not to spare them from difficult times that come to pass, but to be there with them when they do. For God is always with us, sometimes in ways we would have never even imagined.

Lily Rose Barrett has lost her parents in an auto accident that has left her without family. She had spent her whole twenty-two years of life in a four-bedroom, three-bath apartment in San Diego, California. Now she was about to graduate from the University of San Diego's nursing program. In the mailbox, one Saturday afternoon, Lily finds a letter postmarked in Talkeetna, Alaska and addressed to her mother, Cynthia. As Lily reads the letter, she realizes there had been secrets in her family. The letter will start Lily on an adventure she never imagined.

At the moment of each human’s death, a profound change occurs. The pure-white energy of the soul, the energy of God, given by God, begins a journey away from the physical bonds of the blue planet. The journey is the most important process all humans will ever deal with, yet many, many events can, and do, go wrong.At the moment of death, each person will acquire the knowing of the universe instantly. Each person will know and understand God’s plan for them and know intimately if their choices made on the blue planet were congruent with God’s plan. The depth of knowing will be frightening as each person will understand instantly how their choices fulfilled God’s plan or fulfilled their deadly sins. Fear, true fear, beyond anything ever known, will make many souls recoil as they understand how their years upon the blue planet were not lived for God but for themselves. A host of other reasons will make many other souls recoil from the knowing, but fear will be the strongest. It is at the point of recoil that the process of death breaks down.Souls cannot reenter their earthly bodies under most circumstances and yet have recoiled from engaging the knowing, engaging God. There is a very finite time period when each soul must enter the knowing and join God. If the time period is missed, if the soul misses their chance, they become neither part of the blue planet nor part of the universe; and they are lost, forever to be part of neither world.Two brothers born to Irene and Bob—Dana the oldest, Raney the youngest—died as infants and became lost souls. Another brother, Kirby, born with raw empathic skills, the ability to feel the smallest vibrations of the blue planet, felt his lost brothers since very early childhood. A journey of over fifty years connected Kirby to the earth, to lost souls, to the universe, and ultimately, to God to help find a way for his two lost brothers to transform their lost energy and join God.Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus Christ, prompted Kirby to chronicle the journey through letters to his oldest sister, Melanie. Within this book, within these letters, is a very rare glimpse of a human being on the blue planet, being trained with sacred knowledge to fulfill God’s plan for his specific life. To say Kirby was successful would be the biggest of all understatements. 

Life has many questions. Sometimes these questions have no answer, and we just have to accept the idea blindly. The problem with this way of thinking is that you never get to the truth about why you really believe or don't believe in something.Life has taken me on quite the journey, and although I always believed in God and Jesus, I needed to know why I believed. I also questioned heaven and hell, the origin of evil, the afterlife, marriage, kids, animal intelligence, and the future of this world. Inspiration comes from everywhere, even places that you don't want to be. It is through this process of tragedies and triumphs and rising and falling that you learn what you really believe. I have written down my thoughts for all those who want or need a reason to believe.If today is the last day of your life and there is no guarantee that tomorrow will come, how would you answer the question "Am I proud of today?"

In 2008, Bridged Ruden suffered severe traumatic brain injury following a bicycle accident.  Her life resumed as if she were a three-year-old having to relearn many of the life skills that she lost as a result of her injury.  This story chronicles her journey - waxing and waning - towards healing.  “Bridgid’s presentation as a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor is profound, miraculous and engaging. Her voice of expression paints the terrain of every emotion that one goes through when life presents a major shift in who you are, what you do and how you navigate through life…one breath at a time. Bridgid threads the lively and interactive presentation with truth, tears, laughter…authenticity. One walks away from her presentation marveling with awe at how strong and amazing she is to have survived such an intense journey of healing. Perhaps we all are touched by an angel when you hear her story.”—Dr. Jane F. Bourgeois“Bridgid, you are a miracle.” I remember as your physician telling you these words in our clinic as I reviewed your brain CT scan from your initial head injury. Although you are not alone in suffering a significant traumatic head injury, I believe that you are unique in your positive approach to your recovery, your dedication to sharing your experience, and your commitment to helping and motivating others to overcome their own life obstacles and adversity. As a physician I deeply and sincerely admire your efforts and your positive attitude in dealing with a truly difficult and challenging personal experience. I am always pleased to hear of the many positive life changes that have occurred for you as you continue on your journey towards recovery. I also always get a kick out of your ability to share your experiences with the medical system and in our clinic when you speak publically. I wish you good luck and great success on your book, and I hope that your message of hope, recovery, and optimism reaches as many people as possible so that they can benefit from your experience, wisdom, and wit. Although we sometimes are witness to events that are miraculous, sometimes the real miracles are people like you.”—Dr. Andrew Lee

Have you ever played the game where you stand in front of someone who you really trust and they tell you, "OK, you can just fall backward and I promise I got you. I won't let you fall"? Well, I imagine that's how our loved ones feel when something happens to them that is out of their control. They need someone who will stand behind them as they are falling, someone whom they trust that will be there for them until the end. I created this book to help ease the impact of the fall. One thing for sure is that everyone experienced a fall at one time or another, but being prepared is half the battle. After going through a traumatic experience and almost losing my son following a motor vehicle accident on Mothers' Day 2016, I have learned firsthand what all of my patients and their families have experienced, so I decided to do what I do best, which is taking care of people. By writing this book, I am trying to tell my brothers and sisters, "I got you." To God be the glory. Amen.

This book originated from the many interactions we have had with the persons who have entered our doors. All the chapters in the menu actually occurred-some serious, some sad, some funny, and some thought-provoking. Combining these ingredients with a concern about the loss of middle-class values, this book bakes up a solution for the television executives and others to consider. Place this dish in an oven, set the heat up, and see what happens.

Set within the backdrop of life in small town America, Yellow Sky is the story of loyalty, humor, greed, betrayal and murder. Bull Tarkel is a factory worker and volunteer firefighter whose life becomes intertwined with all of those situations. He finds that for each blessing there always seems to be a curse. The Bible tells us that, "Where there are two or more of you gathered in God's name, there He is also." Yellow Sky illustrates that the same can be said about those gathering for evil intent.

All of us want to believe in an afterlife. If it's true, then we must have a soul or spirit. We question this, however, because we are taught science has all the answers. It is science vs. the bible. Physical vs. supernatural. To believe in the afterlife is to believe in God. One area of research that has not been thoroughly examined in relationship to Christianity is the supernatural. This book explores how archaeology, scientific studies, and personal stories reveal the accuracy of the bible. Discover how we know we have a spirit, why select people encounter angels, and why some prayers are answered. It will show you that there is an afterlife, there is hope, and that there is a God! The stories of today resemble the stories of the bible. The mystical events that happened then are similar in almost all aspects to what the bible tells us will happen. Prophesies are continuing to be fulfilled. The foreknowledge He gave his chosen people are still applicable today. Angels are still sent to serve and protect us. Our spirit will rejoin with God as told by near-death experiencers. God does exist and millions of people (maybe even yourself) have witnessed Him through the supernatural. This leads to the conclusion- God, the bible, and the supernatural are relevant today.
