In her memoir, Jeannie recalls her childhood years in Hong Kong and how it shaped her view as a mom, wife, and professional in America in her later years. As she grew up and became a professional, she realized that she was often seen as a "minority" because of her ethnicity and gender by Americans. Despite having laws to prohibit prejudice and discrimination, they still exist. Jeannie believes the only way to eradicate them is at the heart level. She shares vulnerably about her journey balancing family, children, work, and being a wife. She applies her knowledge of Chinese tradition and Christian values to her non-profit organization, working toward a prejudice-free and discrimination-free next generation. Jeannie strives to be an agent of change in race relations. She is helping many young Asian Americans find their ethnic identity in this polarized climate through their initiative, "Asian American Connections".

Hi, my name is Leslie, and I am a sixty-eight-year-old woman. I remember when I was a young child that I had a lot of problems with the way I learned, so I wasn't one of the best little people during that time of my young life. You all are God's special people. I was also, but at the time I didn't know it. Now I do. So, boys and girls and young at heart, you are the people whom I am focused on. I write these books because I love people. I don't have any other reason than that. I pray you will get close to God while you are young; God is really worth knowing while you are young. My subject is really about the way people treat people, and inside this book is to try to show that people can be wrong when they think they are right. I have seen that children can be cruel. I was once a mean girl, but I thought that would have changed a little by now. I guess I have been wrong. With some good advice and help, I am positive that children can be kind and caring. In the story, you may say what the little girl does to the horse really doesn't matter, but we know what is wrong and what is truly right, no matter if he is an animal or a human being. God has given us that built-in knowledge that one day we will need, to help guide us in the right direction. Don't throw away the present that God gives us freely.Bible verses to read: Matthew 5 and 7, 1 Samuel 18:1-4, 1 Corinthians 13:11-13My other books are The Wingless Eagle: A Story of Hope, Shining Spirit Lets His Love Shine, and A Weak Little Tree Beside Me.

Standing firm in the face of adversity is an opportunity that we all get to endure. I think the willingness to stand is not something that we learn to do but rather that we are inspired to do. When we stand, we give the Lord something to work with. We give him someone to anoint for a purpose, someone to use for his cause. The willingness to stand arises from having seen others do so or having been inspired through his word. Standing firm in the face of adversity is also a matter of character. Pastors, people, and churches often find themselves with the choice of standing firm or fleeing. Those who stand are guaranteed a fight. Those who flee are guaranteed a failure. Since this is the case, standing, looking for God's victory, seems to be the proper course.

I chose the title A Childhood in God's Arms because, throughout my life, my father hurt me. And God gave me a vision of Him picking me up and setting me on His lap as a child who was being abused.

My sister Altagracia Marta Casado had ovarian cancer. Members of the church were called to come and pray for her. They said she had cancer because she was possessed by a demon. Their idea of prayer was to point a finger at her while yelling at her, telling the demon to come out. When she passed away, they said she died because she had no faith. The horrible spiritual crimes committed against the children of God by pastors and preachers is what you will find in this book. You will also find the sad story of a group of homosexuals who went to church hoping to have an encounter with Jesus. Many have stopped attending church after experiencing spiritual abuse by those who have distorted the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This book is also for pastors and preachers.

God Is Willing is an inspired book that reveals the loving kindness of our Creator. This book helps you become aware of what the spiritual realm is doing for you, and what it is doing to cause calamities in your life. Showing you how to discern the difference between the thoughts that God's kingdom gives and the thoughts that Satan's kingdom gives. Becoming aware of this will help you in your life. Being that we cannot see angels, we need to know the difference between the two types. God has made sure that honorable angels' actions/ways be different from the demons, so that we the people can know them by the thoughts that we are given. It is our thoughts that propel us to do good or bad. There are many treasures that our Creator has left in the land for us, the people, to find, and having this discernment is one of them. This discernment allows you to not automatically accept the thoughts that you have. Once you start learning to reject thoughts that are harmful to you, the honorable angel's thoughts will have a greater hold on you so that you can be released from the harmful thoughts. Honorable angels give us thoughts with feelings attached to them so that we can maintain our goodness. As you read this book, you will see how your thoughts can manipulate you to do things that are non-beneficial; however, utilizing your discernment will counteract these non-beneficial thoughts. Whether a person does God's will or not, they can still have salvation through thy Lord, Jesus.

Four decades ago, a friend of the author remarked that a book should be written in honor of someone they both knew. The indiscreet nickname for this person is Squat. Up to speed on most all facets of life, Squat knew just enough to be dangerous, mainly to himself. When a problem arose, he found a solution, oftentimes causing more harm than good. The two pals quickly brainstormed and came up with a book title. All they needed was substance of some educational and entertainment value to place between covers. Flash ahead forty years. Sadly, the friend is no longer here. Having over six hundred articles, stories, and editorials published by various newspapers and periodicals at his disposal, author Michael Dexter Hankins had more than enough material to finally create such a testament. Going through a short yet lengthy editing process, You Don't Know Squat! came to life as an eclectic mix of 102 humorous and quirky tales. It's also an entertaining plethora of undeniable facts, hyperbole extraordinaire, outlandish thoughts, unsubstantiated information, life adventures, misadventures, irony, oxymoron, gossip, sarcasm, inflammatory opinions, uncalled-for advice, and secret innuendos. Literary scholars and bibliophobes alike will find the contents humorously enlightening.

This concludes part 1 of A Decade in a Year. It chronicles the first nine weeks of the pandemic, from March 23, 2020, to May 23, 2020. This event will be looked back upon for the rest of history. It is from a unique perspective--mine, a resident of a Victory Homes International Christian addiction recovery Men's Home.For me, life is like a long car ride. Along the way while at the Home, many people have got in and got out of my car. A few stayed in. A very few.This ride could be a phycologist's dream come true.Personally, as a man right now on this drive, the temperature outside is cooling, and it's nearing mid-fall. The days have gotten shorter, and the leaves on the trees have changed their color. My winter isn't here, but I can feel it now. More and more, I can feel it. In other words and from a young man's perspective, I am close to being old.Lord! How funny and tragic it is that I romanticize my past, forgetting all the negative and ugly things I have done. Am I the only one that does that? How I look back on my spring and summer with such fondness. How fast those seasons came and went. This car I'm in has taken a beating, but the motor runs smooth. Plenty of miles left in it. It's not a used car; it's a car with experience.But something happened a little while ago on this ride. I found a map. It gave me a direction. It showed me the way.I smile now at my previous ignorance as I realize that I had always been driving nowhere. It's both funny and sad. It's been said that if you're going nowhere, any road will get you there. Now to have a map? Well now, that changes everything regardless of the season!Which leads me to a question, Where is the road you're on taking you?Come. Let me tell you about a part of my recent drive. This event in world history called the pandemic. This "decade in a year"--we all lived through it apart and yet together.Come. Remember our common yesterday with me.

Teach Me to Pray introduces children to a friend for life, a Father in heaven, someone they can turn to for strength, courage, comfort, and hope.When I was raising my children, talking about God and praying to God came naturally. It was not a "thing" that I had to consider, at what age or when or how to broach the subject of God. It began from day one. I wanted my children to know that they would never be alone; they will always be loved unconditionally. I wanted to give them the greatest possible gift: faith.Teach Me to Pray informs children that they are made in God's image. He lives in them. It teaches them they can make mistakes and lean on God to try again. Teach Me to Pray motivates children to inspire goodness in themselves and others and to brighten the world with His light.

Oftentimes, even Christians find themselves wondering, Is there more to life than this? Many Christians today seem to be just as overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed as the rest of the world. While this has become a common thing in today's society, in the life of a believer, it should never become normal. Christians are struggling to find lasting peace and joy that isn't dependent on circumstances. They see others with passion and excitement for God and wonder why they lack that same enthusiasm.There Is More was written to take the readers deep beyond our Christian labels to really discover the heart of God. We are going to biblically expose mindsets and routines that may be keeping you from fully living in the promises God has for your life. We are going to address common cycles that may be standing in the way of your complete freedom and victory in Christ. It's time to break out of what is common and start living the life you were actually created for!

From our life lessons of lemons, we made lemonade.The houses really could talk.
