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.

It's human nature to look at something when you have emphatically been told not to look.Those of mythological lore who looked directly at Medusa, the snake-headed creature, were instantly turned to stone.Lot's wife, in the book of Genesis, could not resist to look back even after God had strongly advised her not to. As we know, her one peek instantly and infamously made her the first box of Morton Salt.Similarly, Ethel, in Ray Stevens's 1974 hit song, "The Streak," ignored her protective husband's earnest pleas not to look at a serial streaker.Ethel did not turn to stone or salt, but she did lose her clothes as a result of her looking.My suspect friends, Bacon and Genius, would highly implore you NOT to read this book.However, if you would like quick doses of humor, inspiration, and wisdom, this book just may be what you are looking for.Can you resist? What will your fate be if you do look? The choice is in your hands. Proceed at your own risk!Certainly, it could do no harm to take just one little peek...

Although many prayers were attributed throughout life, it was the sincere ones that stood out the most and seared the conscience.

Personal prayer encounters with the heavenly Father created a spiritual bond nothing or no one could undo. Others share similar insight about faithful prayer practices, and some people are still waiting to tap in.

Loving Your Neighbor: A Practical Guide to Keeping the Second Great Commandment explores what God actually means by the word "love." Often, in our culture, we use the word "love" to mean "like very, very much," as in, "I love pizza!" But then there are Bible verses that command us to love our enemies; clearly, the Lord cannot be asking us to like them very much.This book looks first at the heart of love, as evidenced by God and others. From these scriptural records, we can see that spiritual love really means a selfless caring for the other. When we love, we must start with a motivation that focuses solely on the well-being of the other and not on any benefits to self.Next, as this is a practical guide, this book examines "pictures" of love, words that give the reader a picture of how this love might actually practically work in our lives. Often, these biblical words have both a physical and a figurative usage. The physical usage gives us the picture, and the figurative usage shows us how to practically apply this in loving our neighbor.Finally, the author shows that God has given us tools in the Bible to help us get better at loving our neighbor. God gave us the commandment, but then He was loving enough to help us love and to help us grow in loving our neighbors.
