I have written this book for you! As you journey through life's distractions, you will need to be equipped with understandings which will guide you in making decisions. This will help you know who God is and what He wants you to be: His disciples. Your life, as it spreads over years, matures as should your understanding of Christ. While the Bible speaks of us becoming mature (i.e., Luke 8:14; Hebrews 5:14, 6:1; Colossians 1:28; Ephesians 4:13; James 1:4), this book lays a solid foundation to that end."Not that I have already attained all this or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." This gives me grace, direction, and hope. Philippians 3:16 encourages us to "live up to what we have already attained."So I challenge you to grow in your understanding, and I offer this book as an aid, a flashlight in dark times.

As we enter a Community of Faith for the first time, we are naturally drawn to a shared spirituality. It may be a congregation, synagogue, mosque, or temple. It is shared spiritually of the people at prayer which attracts us and draws us to unite with others in prayer. There are three shared stands of any Community of Faith: their shared faith tradition, the culture of the community, and the personalities of the members.This book examines the elements of tradition, culture, and personal temperament to determine how the three become spiritually integrated at the moment of prayer. The conclusion is that through an explicit assessment of these three elements, members of the faith community can enrich their personal spiritual life, resulting in spiritual growth and can ultimately revitalize the spiritual prayer life of the community of faith.The books is a spiritual intervention of a Presbyterian congregation in Central New York in the 1980s. I'm grateful for the prayer group that committed there Wednesday nights during 1986. This is their story of how they were able to revitalize the spiritual life of a 150-year-old three-hundred-member Presbyterian congregation.

The author of I'm Just a Teacher shares his love of teaching, his passion for learning, and his art of building relationships with students and their families. As a highly imaginative, innovative, and award-winning educator with over fifty years of experience his remarkable lifelong goal has been "To Reach Out, Touch Others, and Make a Difference." Over the years, he has developed a unique and highly motivational system of project-based learning and assessment with multiple pathways, fostering greater student engagement and success.Today, teachers face angry and hostile citizen groups; a merciless, raging pandemic; encounter a lack of respect and waning trust while the nobility of the profession has been run aground. For public school teachers, some career politicians bent on their unwavering agendas to abandon and bury public education is a continual threat. The shortage of teachers is seriously rampant and shortchanging students while overworking current educators. The vital academic freedom needed to teach and make a difference in the lives of students is replaced with forced data collection for political reasons.The author insists that in spite of these challenges to the profession, educators wear many hats and are masters of multitasking. Indeed, learning can become fun, and in his teaching bag, the use of humor is a key methodology. Learning can be exciting, entertaining, and challenging in creating a positive and proactive learning environment. Knowledge of aikido instills in him a sense of calm, confidence, and control in the face of adversity. It is turning anguish into positive action. It enables him to be in charge of the situation and not the situation in charge of him. To this day, the author firmly believes in teachers, trusts in teachers, and applauds teachers that shower students with praise, compassion, solid example, and instill hope for a brighter future while unleashing student imagination.

US Navy Lieutenant John Rush, firstborn son of American founder Dr. Benjamin Rush, shot and killed his best friend in a duel October 1, 1807. The lieutenant was later admitted to the lunatic ward of Pennsylvania Hospital on February 10, 1810, with a diagnosis of insanity. Dr. Rush later became known as the father of American psychiatry. Later serving as his son's attending physician, the doctor eventually would label the diagnosis as a melancholy derangement, a diagnosis which would probably be recognized in today's psychological taxonomy as schizoaffective disorder bipolar type.Whatever John Rush's diagnosis, his story is one that provides invaluable insight to the evolution of mental health care in America. A closer look into the case study of John Rush affords the reader a better appreciation of the evolution of parenting and a more intimate understanding of the everyday life of one of America's most consequential founding fathers.Honor Makes Gray Hairs is essentially a biographical novel chronologically designed to depict the life and times of John Rush who represents the succeeding generation of the founders of the United States. The reader in mind for this work would be anyone interested in American history, psychology, family dynamics, parenting, and the etiology of mental health disorders.The work should be especially interesting for those who live with family members or other loved ones who struggle with what is still referred to as severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI). Most of the stories included in the novel actually happened in the life of John Rush, and those that did not could easily have happened to one degree or another, based on an understanding of the times and personalities involved.

A normal life. Something I never thought I would have again after the events of January 17, 1987. The moment my head hit the boards playing hockey, my life was anything but normal."Why me? Why did this have to happen to me?"It has not been easy, but now decades later, I look at my life through different eyes than that eighteen-year-old. Living with a spinal cord injury, so much has been taken from me, but it is what I've been given that has defined my life. The opportunity to experience the world from two completely different perspectives is something very few people have. Ironically, this opportunity was the result of the most horrible moment in my life.There are two things that I have learned over the past thirty-five years in a wheelchair. The first is what it means to have control of your life, especially when you have zero control of your own body. The second is that every human being has the choice to either let time pass them by or find their way through challenging circumstances. My story is about how I went from, "Why me?" to the way I feel today, "Walking is overrated."

I am the one is a collection of poems for those who know they are meant to be different. You never felt like you fit in and you couldn't figure out why. Why! Because, you were the chosen one.

These poems cover ranges from the valley to the mountain top. The purpose of your life is continuous on this earth until the father says welcome home my good and faithful servant, you are the one.

A Journey of Faith is a compilation of the life of Josef. Born in 1943 during WWII, while millions of soldiers died on the battlefields and millions of civilians died because of the bombing of cities and starvation, Josef survived against all odds. He was nursed and raised by a naturopathic-treatment-practicing mother, utilizing alternative medicine and prayer. She relieved her families' sicknesses at a time when few hospitals were operating and only a small number of doctors available. At the age of twenty, Josef, with his pregnant wife, immigrated to America with not much money, but by the grace of God and hard work came to be part owner a food-processing company. In gratitude for the grace and many blessings of God, it created in me a yearning to comfort those who have been less fortunate and have fallen on hard times. His hope is that this book will remind people what God can and will do, no matter how humble our beginnings, and circumstance. Trust in Him.

Buenavista--an agricultural place transformed into a congested semi suburbanite setting because of progress. The book recalls the struggles of the poor but resilient early Kamarinians, mostly landless but hardworking peasants who toiled the land of the well-to-do landowners just to exist meagerly.This is the story of the rural people, derogatorily referred to as "mga taga bundok" (the mountain people). They worked hard not to prove their worth but to survive. They survived because they were resilient; they endured because they were God-fearing people. They are the people of the barrio, and they have nothing to be ashamed of. They are proud of who they are and what they are.

This book is lovingly compiled using the blog written by Grandma Lois. Lois believed that by writing her thoughts and sharing them with other grandparents and their grandchildren as well, she could lead others to know her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
