For Zion's sake I will not keep silent; for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. (Isaiah 62:1)On the day that I cried out, you answered me and made me bold with strength in my soul. (Psalm 138:3)Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is the answer.This is How I Survived Death (From Death to Freedom). This book is my living testimony of what a gracious God we serve and how he kept me and saved me from the taskmaster I served my entire life. I have gone through life as I call it riding the fence, but it doesn't work that way. You either have to be 100 percent all-in for Jesus or the devil. You cannot serve both. You either want to live life more abundantly or fall away to death with Satan. You are meant to live not die.I never truly know how much God loved me and what true grace was until I was totally set free and delivered from death, drugs, abusing myself, anger, pride, the root of bitterness, and lust. God came and gave me total repentance, forgiveness, deliverance from darkness, freedom from every chain of bondage the taskmaster Satan, and brought me into his kingdom. I have been set free. I found my mercy at the altar of Jesus's feet as I cried out to him. He had no hesitation. He cleaned me up as white as snow, setting me back on solid ground and showing me and loving me to feel the agape love I have never felt before. That's the kind of love you need to fill every void in your life and in my life--the best and most amazing feeling ever.I'm here to tell someone Jesus is the answer to every issue of life. He is the comforter, the deliverer, the waymaker. He is the salvation, healer, and protector. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And whoever the Son sets free is free indeed. Because you are my salvation I don't have to be afraid. I can call upon you, and you will save me.You have brought me out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke my chains of bondage. (Psalm 107:13)You have delivered me from darkness and brought me into your kingdom and your love. (Colossians 1:13)Total repentance plus total deliverance equals total freedom from the taskmaster. Freedom to live for my sweet king, Jesus, and all the praise and glory goes to God the Father for setting me free.

This work is an autobiographical synopsis of an immigrant whose diasporic decision came crucially at a time of tribulation and despair amidst the civil war in El Salvador. In the special chapter, you will find the compelling story of a shoeless child who lived in one of the country's most depressed, conflicting areas.Chapters 1 to 4 give you an account of the discovery of America. The ensuing genocidal obliteration of the Mesoamerican civilizations and indigenous cultures at the hands of the Spanish colonizers.Chapters 5 to 13 show a brief narrative of the evolution of El Salvador from a peaceful autochthonous Maya enclave to a fully independent nation.Chapters 14 to 16 present with mesmerizing accuracy a series of events that probably helped shape my appreciation of life. Instill in me greater consciousness of my mortality and, therefore, my future in the USA. All these traumatic events, no doubt, have given me a new sense of purpose in life.Chapters 17 to 22, I exposed different perceptions and analyses of life before and after in El Salvador and the United States.Chapter 23 vividly describes the events leading to my becoming a US citizen.Chapter 24 focused on the contradictory reverse cultural shock when I traveled to my native land.Finally, in chapter 25, I formulate my honest feelings of love and patriotism toward America, its institutions, its Constitution, its Flag, and my faith in its promising democratic, republican future.

This book began as a writer's journal dictating her story in real time that would become a guide to encourage both the widow and widower suffering loss. The author takes us on her journey of suffering and pain at the unexpected death of her husband. It reflects on the betrayal of life and the ability to trust her God while being still through it all. He shows up for her restoring the hope she thought was gone. He gives her the ability to prevail in victory when she thought she would lose it all. Hearing His still voice of instruction to wait on His timing and process introduced her to a whole different type of love from her champion through His mercy, wisdom, and grace. Papa God teaches her the true art of forgiveness that brings deliverance and healing back to her life. She overcame and didn't die as her mind told her she would. The author's references to God and the various roles--He and the Creator of all and the universe--that has taken in her life since the beginning of time is transparent in her writing as she takes you on her journey of faith, healing, gratitude, grief, loss, and surrender. Don't give up, my brother, my sister. Let God have the battles the enemy tells you that you can't win.

Every house of worship in America faces a growing constant threat of violent attacks from terrorists, social fanatics, violent anti-religions, the mentally ill, drug-ravaged, and others who crave the social media and news fame of a mass killer. In the last twenty years, there was an average of two deadly force incidents (DFI) at houses of worship in America each week.No state, county, city, or house of worship of any religion is exempt from these threats. Violence, unrest, and criminal attacks are increasing nationwide with no penalty, accountability, or restrictions. Violent criminals are released into society with no controls. Churches of all denominations are seen as soft targets, and they must address these threats and take actions to protect those who come to worship.Retired FBI Superintendent Ed Mireles says, "This book is a highly recommended, must read, for all Church Security Personnel." This book gives the reader an extremely valuable program of strategies and tactics that can be immediately applied to provide protections against these violent threats, to limit the number of threats that occur and minimize the effects of those that happen. With years of direct experience and multiple sessions of very high-quality training, the author faces these threats head-on and then moves directly to provide counter methods.Hard-hitting, direct, and fast-paced, The Swords of Nehemiah is the essential How to playbook for church protection strategies that have proven successful and can be immediately implemented and consistently improved and enhanced. Retired Professor of Criminal Justice Dr. Jeffrey P. Rush says it best, "This is the book every church, every security team needs. Read it, learn it, live it."

Have you ever felt like you were being punished for doing good? Have you suffered setbacks even though you have stepped up and taken over in uncertain and shaky situations? Or maybe you have been passed up on promotions because of forces of darkness that you didn't even know were against you? Have you been "persecuted for righteousness' sake"? Trust the Process can help you navigate some of life's challenges. What I have learned and am still learning is sometimes what God has for you is bigger than the place that you are in.What you are going through isn't fair, and it seems like around every corner the enemy is trying to make you give up. The dream God has placed in you is too big; the vision just seems to be so far out of reach because of your current situation.

Trust the Process will shine some light in these uncertain and trying times.

The second volume is giving answer's that many were afraid to ask. Since every Believer is an heir of Salvation; we have a right to inquire, says Ray Anderson. The Lord spoke unto Jeremiah and said, "... I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding" (Jeremiah 3:15).A believer wants to know: Who is the Eternal Being - Where does God the Father live - Jesus admits, There is someone greater than He. Who was she that help make the world. Adam and Eve had no biological mother but she was there. How can you learn and know your destiny - You can know the plan of God - Why was the maker of the world rejected. A believer is told where the hidden treasures of God is hid.The good the bad and the ugly - There is something that can change people - Is it mandatory to believe in the Resurrection. Will you see your loved one's in Heaven. Who is the bride of Christ. Is Jesus' bride alive now.

In life, you will have good days and bad days. You will experience seasons that seem to worsen while you are still recovering from a bad situation. You will go through trials and tribulations that you were not equipped to fight. You will face seasons that only you and God are standing in. Seasons that you will feel that your prayers did not make it to God's ears because he stood silent in it. During those seasons, continue to pray without ceasing, continue to lean not on your own understanding and trust in God with all your heart. Be steadfast and unmovable, be strong and courageous knowing that your labor is not in vain. Most of all, remember that all things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. I encourage you do not focus on the size of your storm or what's going on in your storm, continue to trust in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who is with you during your storm. In the midnight hour, the tides will turn, your winds will calm, your storm will cease, and you will make it ashore. This motivational-devotional book was written to give encouragement during the storms of life in hopes that you realize that the blessings and calling on your life is abundantly greater than the rough season you are facing. To whom much is given, much is required. Remember Isaiah 43:2: "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppressions, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." Stay encouraged.

After a five-year marriage dissolves, Deborah Hoffman inherits her grandmother's Victorian mansion in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. While maintaining the property, a local handyman not only helps repair her home but also helps her to better recognize a drawing in her spirit.

Battling the enemy, alcoholism, and post-traumatic stress disorder--often at the same time--requires superhuman strength. Truth of it is: it's outside of human ability to do so for very long. Many times, the harder battle is the one found when the physical fight is over. PTSD and substance abuse are in a spiraling symbiotic relationship that gets worse over time and has claimed countless lives of service members, police, and other first responders. Those trained to run to the sound of the guns often don't have the capacity to recognize when they are outgunned and refuse or don't know how to seek help. Often they also believe that they are the only ones facing these personal battles. This book is meant to shed light on those battles from a firsthand perspective, both physical, mental, and spiritual.As a Special Forces (also known as Green Berets) soldier, I found myself at the lowest point of my life. When I ran out of my own answers and bravado, I was led to the solution to the problems I was facing. It wasn't one I would have explored in normal circumstances--it was literally the last place I looked. It took running out of options and being beat to a point I was ready to listen and actually hear.That answer carried me through over a decade of turmoil and chaos and continues to carry me today, provided I rely on Him. There is no way I would be here and able to tell you this story otherwise. Reaching out and asking for help is the first step and often the hardest part.Trust me when I say, I didn't believe it either.

I love to laugh! I also love to tell stories! For me, that's a risky combination. But more importantly, I want to help people to grow deeper in love with King Jesus.I firmly believe that the Creator fashioned us to laugh, smile, and sometimes even ROFL. I believe Jesus had a sense of humor. Just look at the funny things we see in His creation that make us giggle and smile. I like to imagine that He enjoyed more than His share of belly laughs with His disciples and audiences. I also know Jesus liked to tell stories--sometimes, long stories.I've taken some of my favorite true stories (with a few embellishments) that have made me laugh through the years and want to share them with you. I hope these might serve to help you spend some time with Jesus as you grin, chuckle, or maybe even snort your coffee through your nose. As you read, hopefully, you will be prompted to walk closer to the One who loves you most.Grab your coffee or tea and take a few minutes to hopefully laugh harder, love Jesus more intentionally, and live more devotedly for your Best Friend. Now enjoy some "Ha-Hallelujah!"

Inspired by the example of a spirit-centered life exhibited by the author's parents and elders in the family, this book serves as a testament to the lessons learned throughout the author's own life.She grew up in a multigenerational family within a small island village, where families resided for generations and coexisted harmoniously regardless of religion, caste, or social status. She received early education in a boarding school established by Christian missionaries, where education and the cultivation of values based on spirituality laid the foundation for embracing the world with an open mind.Wearing simple uniforms and refraining from the use of jewelry and makeup allowed each individual's personal beauty to shine without any extravagance. Simplicity and character were the jewels. The author's experiences across various settings will bear witness to this truth.

We often hear the phrase "once saved, always saved," which to some means that once a person is saved, he will always be saved, no matter what he does. Scripture does verify that when a person is born again and is truly saved, he has eternal security. But what is revealed in Scripture about this important issue must be properly understood. Misinterpretation of this important biblical concept can have dire consequences.This book will discuss many positive aspects of the "once saved, always saved" concept. However, it will also show that there is significant potential for misunderstanding and misusing this idea in ways that may be dangerous from a spiritual point of view. These dangers include erroneously thinking one is eternally saved when he is not even saved at all, making no effort to grow spiritually, and not working toward eternal rewards because one sees no reason to if he is already eternally secure. Topics such as what it means to truly be saved, at what time is one actually saved, the importance of being sure about one's salvation, the danger of turning the grace of God into licentiousness, and what happens with the carnal Christian will also be considered. This book will explore these issues from the point of view that if a person is saved, he will always be saved--but he must be truly saved to indeed have eternal security.
