Book Cover Having Joy and the Holy Spirit, Raquel Cedillos's second book, is dedicated to God, Holy Spirit. This book talks about depression, loneliness, and confusion. She answers many questions Christians have, such as "I'm baptized now, do I still have the Holy Spirit in me?" "If I do, now what?" and "What do I do to keep the Holy Spirit in me?" Many Christians are confused about those three questions and think they are doomed. On the contrary, Raquel proves that the answer to the questions is "Yes, yes, and yes, it doesn't matter if you baptized yourself one or forty years ago." You have the Holy Spirit in you; now you must live a joyful, godly lifestyle.This book can be used in a Bible study or to just keep for reference because it's a great book full of biblical verses and knowledge. This book makes rational statements and suggestions on how to obtain both joy and the Holy Spirit and to live as a full, true, and complete Christian. By following seven useful signs of the Holy Spirit's presence, you'll reaffirm your faith because you have courage to change and start thinking the way God wants you to. This book also gives you the opportunity to surround yourself with Christian people and comment and suggest your own experiences and share them. It will work as a therapy if you're over the depression, loneliness, or confusion, because this time you won't be the patient (spiritually), but the physician (advocate).

Living, working, and growing up on a farm in North Dakota in the 1940s and 1950s was hard, especially for the family I was born into. My mother's death when I was a teenager changed my view of the world, God, and eternity. I questioned my church's teaching and found few answers to my questions.To further complicate my life, as a baby, I developed a physical deformity that made me terribly self-conscious. Psychic experiences began to happen when I was young that, as I got older, eventually saved my life more than once and gave me ideas of how our universe, our physical being, and our spirits exist and interact with it all. I try to explain it all in this book.

When life blows up in your face like a bomb or when you are blindsided by unforeseen circumstances, you need to know God has not forgotten or abandoned you. When you are weary and want to quit fighting against the enemy of your soul, you need to know God is still with you, directing the fight! Whatever difficult circumstances you are facing, God loves you so much He has graciously provided you weapons on your belt of truth, the armor of God. Margaret Pogin explains what some these weapons are and how to use them through Scripture. She encourages you to continue fighting for the kingdom of God to manifest more thoroughly in your life here on earth. She gives real-life examples of the principles she outlines in each chapter from her own walk with God. This book was birthed out of Margaret's experiences while she and her husband were preaching to the persecuted church in a nation hostile to Christianity. God's deep desire to encourage His people to keep going and growing gave her a burden to share the lessons learned in her trials of life. God reminded her through Scriptures we have many weapons to fight the enemy of our souls and call on the army of God for protection. These weapons prove how much God loves us. These weapons guarantee a proper defense to continue to have faith, hope, and joy no matter our circumstances. Whether fighting for yourself, your family, church, city, country, business, or the kingdom of God, Margaret's message is meant to encourage those who are discouraged in the fight. If we do not quit, we ultimately win over Satan. That is written in the Word.

The Bible is a book unlike any other book ever written. God used different men, over a period of time, to record His thoughts and words to mankind. In essence, the men were the pen (or quill) in the hand of God. Each of our lives is also a book to be read by others. Some books have more chapters. Some have longer chapters. Some have more colorful chapters. With some, the ending is too abrupt.Ordinary Man/Extraordinary God is my attempt to be a pen in the hand of God. It is my attempt to brag about God by recalling His involvement in my life. I hope it inspires you to reflect and look for moments where you can brag about Him too.

The good news is it doesn't matter what ails you or the name of the disease, God has not changed His mind about you walking in divine health.

Your sickness or disease hasn't taken God by surprise. You can be healed. It doesn't matter what the disease or sickness is, whether it has a name or not, healing is yours. It's time to be healed and start walking in divine health.

The Mystery of God's Holiness: God's Good News for the Gentiles contains two threads that run throughout the entire Bible. It illuminates for the reader the origins and spread of God's holiness, from the day God told Moses that his feet were standing on holy ground to the time the creatures in John's book of Revelation cry, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty." It also sheds light on God's extension of the good news from Palestine to all nations of the earth. For when Jesus Christ confronted Paul, and he was converted on the Road to Damascus, Jesus appointed Paul as his apostle to the Gentiles. So Paul devoted the rest of his life to spreading the Good News and founding Christian churches throughout the Roman Empire. The result is that this Good News has gone from the Roman Empire to Europe, to America, and around the entire world. This book also provides what one might call a minicourse on church history, from the time of Jesus to the present day.

Read how still to this day, she struggles with negative emotions and guilt and needs to be reminded often that God is in control, and He will never forsake her, even when she feels she is alone.Her story is the meaning of the title of her book, as she had to completely and totally learn to rely on God and allow Him to lead her and her family's journey of living with disabilities, which she calls the Austin dance.

The EPA came to numerous towns in the mining west armed with a computer program that they were certain was more accurate than any testing method for determining blood lead that was currently known to man. The EPA accepted the computer output as near sacred, while they mocked real-life, raw data. This resulted in declaring a phony health hazard, followed by the labeling of properties with the death kiss of Superfund. Complaints ensued, with the most legitimate protests coming from innocent victims. Congress had created this legal mutant but could not or would not fix it.Meanwhile, the courts were of little remedy since judges jumped from their lonely, intellectual orientation onto the chummy, buffoonery, chessboard of Democrats and Republicans. That platform that has lost its own moral up and down, all the while the courts get to dissect laws so far beyond sunlight that the consideration of common sense is beyond the pale.This is the story of several communities' battle with an immoral, misguided law.
