Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.-Revelation 1:11 Who were these churches? Who were these people? Who was saying this was to be done? Why did the Lord Jesus Christ want to send these churches a letter? What was happening in their lives that they needed to hear from Him?Come with me and let's turn back the pages in time. This book will explore and survey the scriptures to find answers to these questions, as well as some other historical information. All scriptures are God-breathed and are useful for instruction, conviction, correction, and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be complete and fully equipped for every good work. I explore the connections the letters have to the culture and history of the people and the times they lived in. The letters were written to them, but the same letters are written for us.Let's open the Word of God together and see what He has in store for us as we learn to walk in His way, growing in faith and strength as disciples equipped for every good work and word according to His purpose. The book will take the reader on a journey - a survey of the things that were, things that are, and the things to come - that John, the beloved disciple, recorded for us. Come with us on the journey through the pages of scripture and time. Who were our brethren from long ago, whom Jesus wrote to? How and why do these letters matter to us? Come and let us see what the Lord has in store for us.

This book is to let the reader understand more about the words in the Holy Bible. It starts out with a word. Then a question is asked what the word means, then it is given an answer. Then it is followed up with a scripture verse from the Holy Bible. The purpose of this book is to give the reader more understanding of the words of the gospel. Jesus talked of these words that are in the Holy Bible. The verses in this book are from the English Standard Version Bible.

Through my trials and tribulations, God gave me my identity. I hindered my walk and relationship with God by leaning on my own understanding. Although, as a child, the pain I endured was out of my control, as an adult, the majority was based on the choices I made and the signs I willingly ignored for decades. I blamed others for my lack of love. I was miscomprehending, seeking love from individuals that only comes from God, the Creator. It was my iniquity; it caused the separation between God and me, which hindered my blessings from him. It was also God's grace that helped with the brokenness that crippled and tormented me throughout my life. He rescued me by transforming my circumstances into the center blocks I needed to climb out of the hole I was buried in. My foolishness caused me to make lifelong decisions based on temporary issues. He should have been my ultimate choice. When I was tested, my afflictions bent and twisted the vessels attached to my heart, but God didn't allow me to flatline.He was the guiding force I needed when I thought I was too broken to be repaired. He rebuilt and molded me to be used for his glory. God's love, through my tests and trials, matured and strengthened me. The things sent to destroy my peace were no competition to the mind-regulating God I serve! This book was written in inspiration to my God, Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ. He deserves all the praise and honor, and without Him, it wouldn't be me. The blueprint and directions of God's Word are the recipes to all salvation. Above all, I pray that you, too, will understand the importance of obedience and the relationship God desires us to have as we're reconciled with Him.

This book is a must-read for every Christian desiring to deepen and strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ.The author provides a renewed insight for the church and for individuals into being and making disciples by going back to the historic roots of the word, "disciple," i.e., what it meant in ancient times. He also demonstrates what Jesus really meant when He said, "Go, make disciples." Mr. Beisheim also shows how the word and concept have become distorted and watered down in all but a few churches in America. In today's world, it is just a concept or a course or a program, using terms like mentoring or coaching; you will find it is so much more.The author does this by redefining what the word "disciple" and "making disciples" really means. Then, the author explains Jesus's only two commands: love God and love one another. Finally, the author spends time on what to teach others--ways in which you and Christ can really dive deep and get to know each other.The result is a radically renewed way of thinking about being a disciple (not merely an occasional churchgoer) and making disciples and life itself and how this concept can shape a way of living that affects every relationship you have. This is not some concept that worked only in Jesus's day, but one which works today in our world as illustrated and attested to by the author.2

Amia's Path is an inspirational story that explores one's journey through life. Raised up in the church, Amia knew that when she started her own family, she wanted to raise them up in the church as well. It's about how she went through life trying not to abandon her foundation. She eventually realized that he came first in her life no matter the situation or circumstance, and this was what helped to get her through.Instilling those same principles and values in her children that she had learned growing up as she bounced from church to church and place to place became a challenge, but she stuck with what she knew. As she went through her journey, she wasn't trying to intentionally leave her past behind, but she was trying to find that balance. Little did she know there were people who were placed in her life who kept her from straying too far. They were a constant reminder of what she was used to, yet still, life took her away from what she had known.She became complacent.

Something was missing. She needed more than what she was used to but didn't know what it was or what to do.Life happens. It happened to Amia. Although her life experiences had taken her away from the church, it was those same experiences that helped her to realize that no matter where she was or what she was doing, God was always there. She was trying to do everything herself, based on her own understanding. She realized that she needed God more than anything. What she didn't realize was that all she had to do was listen. She made changes in her life. Those changes put her in a better place, closer to God where she continued to work on her relationship with him.

Hemos escuchado, a los estadistas mundiales, hablar de cómo se cuentan los grandes acontecimientos; el desarrollo de un país, una plaga, una enfermedad, etc. No se alarme, el sufrimiento del pueblo de Cuba se cuenta en números de muertos; por más de 65 años. Este pequeño país es una isla, situada en el caribe, su población ha sido sometida, a la más terrible de las torturas, solo comparable al exterminio de la población camboyana, por el régimen comunista de Pol pot.Este libro, fácil de leer, y muy ameno, por la dinámica, en la que resulta su estructura, en capítulos breves, en los cuales, se relatan acciones y acontecimientos, que involucran a este argentino; nombrado Che Guevara.Como cubano; hablare por las víctimas de los primeros años del comunismo radical, en la isla de Cuba, ya que a ellos, no les estuvo permitido expresarse, aun cuando ante la inminente privación de la vida, suplicaban a sus verdugos, que no los asesinaran, pues eran inocentes.No pretendo abarcar toda la historia, seria creo imposible, pues cada cubano que ha vivido en la isla durante estos más de 65 años tiene su propia historia, más trágica o menos trágica, pero cada uno tiene su historia, les confieso algo: Me ha sido muy difícil escribir a cerca de este asesino, Pero, como secuestrado por estos verdugos, creo que las victimas merecen respeto, por lo tanto. En memoria de las víctimas, contare mi versión de los hechos; no sin antes, hacer mías las palabras del Maestro de todos los cubanos, José Martí; cuando dijo:"Cuando hay muchos hombres sin decoro, hay siempre otros que tienen en sí el decoro de muchos hombres. Esos son los que se rebelan con fuerza terrible contra los que les roban a los pueblos su libertad, que es robarles a los hombres su decoro. En esos hombres van miles de hombres, va un pueblo entero, va la dignidad humana."-JOSÉ MARTÍ.

You are not by yourself. All of our forefathers went through a process because of the spoken word over their life. This book will not only empower you with understanding the process, but will also give you tools to implement what will help you experience the manifestation of every prophetic word.

Our story is about a six-year-old boy Joey, who, like all children, fears what they don't understand. Joey is a happy, healthy little boy who loves to play outside. However, discovering a very large spider in his playing area creates a healthy concern for Joey. He deeply questions in his heart, Why do we have spiders in the world? Why would God make such scary things that have no purpose? Joey feels this spider is a menace, and it needs to be eliminated from threatening himself and others in the world.Joey's quest for answers is an important one for every boy and girl to realize that each creature God has made is created for a purpose and has unusual talents and abilities that we don't really appreciate. This book entertains yet invites children to look at the wonders of God's creation in a different way. "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).

In His Gentle Care gives us daily meditations followed by scripture references to help us along the way.Through these readings, one can come to appreciate the sounds and beauty of creation from an early morning sunrise to its setting, a gentle breeze or a howling wind, the smell of an early spring shower or freshly cut grass, along with the wonders of each season, much like the seasons of our lives.As we step into each new day, may we take with us all of the lessons we learned from yesterday and face all of the challenges that may come our way, trusting that God will be there to lead us and guide us.

During my life, seldom did I accept things at face value, so I was always trying to understand why myself and others did the things we did. For the happy and enjoyable days of my life, that were few and far between. I didn't find the need to expand the search for what caused those events to transpire; on the days where I was challenged and found myself in over my head yet again, I dug deeper to help me find out why I acted poorly or why my choices were not the most popular ones in the history of the world. The early part of my life left quite a bit to be desired and along with a poor beginning came many poor choices that made me unpopular, but they did create excitement for the viewing audience.Struggling to fit in and being misunderstood are kind of my thing, and those decisions that made others view me as hostile and sometimes unwanted were captured in a series of private thoughts that were both put to paper and others that needed no documentation because they ran on a constant loop through my cavernous mind and gave me a constant reminder of how unpopular one man can become with hardly any effort. How complete my examination on my past is not for me to decide. I will leave that to the reader, but I can 100 percent guarantee that this information is factual and, at times, for me, more than a little heartbreaking. This is not an attempt for sympathy, that dream was crushed in my first few years of life, waiting for a kind word or a much-needed hug as a child were things I saw in movies but not in my home. I hope that I have made my vision of these times interesting enough so that you have enjoyed the experience of reading this book enough for it to be worthy of your time. Each of these ideas of mine are shared as quotes and explained in very plain terms, and on occasion, the pain of spending a lifetime of being judged harshly by those who have helped craft this person who has fallen from grace.
