I titled my book The Words That Thou Gavest Me because they are exactly that. All my poems have come from my quiet time with Jesus. They have come from what the Holy Spirit has spoken and revealed to me during prayer time, trials of life, and victories that I have walked through. He will speak if we will listen. All glory, honor, and praise be to the Father through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.And, yes, perhaps my word bone is connected to my rhyme bone.
In her final year of teaching, Jocelyn Turner spent over one-fifth of each week administering mandatory tests and quizzes. She spent the remaining time preparing students to take those specific exams, regardless of the background knowledge and preparedness of individual students. While she was testing, she could not teach. Teachers were expected to present the same Common Core-based, grade-specific material to all their students at the same time-- whether Jake was reading at a first-grade level or Taylor at a ninth-grade level. It was a rare and lucky child who fit the profile of the year's onslaught of tests.Since No Child Left Behind, US schools have been burying students in tests and then drawing often misguided conclusions--when sometimes the only conclusion anyone ought to draw is that student X obviously spent hours staring at a set of questions he or she did not understand and maybe could not even read.We have been told that US education is in crisis. Ms. Turner agrees. In Fighting the White Knight, she argues that government mandates created and are now perpetuating this crisis, depriving children of remedial learning, instruction time, and personal attention.Fighting the White Knight also looks at the $1.6 trillion student debt crisis, a consequence of today's single-minded, college-bound pipeline; vocabulary deficits left to fester due to narrowly targeted curricula; and the sneaky gutting of elective, vocational/technical, and gifted education.Ms. Turner concludes by advocating for changes she believes can rescue American education--guiding children back to the safe, inspirational learning experiences of a more student-focused time.

Life came to a dramatic halt for the Ciolkosz (cho-kis) family when they discovered a rare and dangerous brain cancer ailing their infant son. Through hospitalization, surgeries, and all the things to follow, their faith in God, prayer, and support from the community carried them through this difficult trial. Along the way values were exposed and strengthened: the strength and commitment of family, the value of community, the power of prayer, and belief that God is always with us even in our most dire of times. In the center of it all, a child, whose bravery, resilience, and smile inspired thousands, showed that with God, we can overcome against all odds.
The exhilarating first hand details of a family who takes the next spiritual step into the realm of enlightenment. Their experiences will compel you to take a deeper look into the scriptures of the Bible. You will be stirred to look deeper into your own beliefs and to analyze all doctrines of the Christian church. Is it enough to just attend a church? How much are we to know or to experience to live in the spirit? Are we being told the truth of the Christian way of salvation, or is there more? This book is intended to share the life of a few that found the truth in scripture and a life in Christ that most church-attending Christians never experience.
Darrell Craft survived six strokes during a fifteen-month period. This is the miraculous story of how God carried him through the six strokes to a year stroke-free and beyond. With assistance, he made a presentation at a support group meeting and later rewrote the presentation eight times, remembering more each time. As difficult as it was, with two distinct cases of double vision, God enabled him to also review over one thousand pages of medical records in order to fill in the blanks where he did not remember. The following book resulted.
The Last Days, Time Seals, and Trumpets is separated into three unique sections. The first section speaks of God's timeline of events from the creation of time until the destruction of the world. The creation of time is discussed from both mankind's view of measuring time and God's view concerning time. It also explores how modern theories such as Darwin's theory of evolution, Einstein's theory of relativity, and the big bang theory compare with what the Word of God states. The second section is an in-depth study of the book of Revelation, with emphasis on the opening of the seals and the blowing of the trumpets. And the third section is a topical study of end-time subjects with scripture references for each topic. This book is unique in that it ties Old Testament scriptures to the events surrounding the seals and trumpets mentioned in Revelation.
"The Outcast"The Outcast is about living our everyday lives in pursuit of happiness--but always in the wrong places. Jennica, the main character, is a self-loathing and absorbed teenager, who sees the wrong doings of others. She is in pursuit of the acceptance of others even when she failed to accept herself. She narrates every aspect of her life in a matter-of-fact way to show her innocence. At the end of the novel, she comes to the realization that she was not an outcast as she believed. She finally settled into a life of bliss because of her acceptance of who she truly was -- "one chosen by God."Jennica uses wide-ranging quotations to represent the author's use of them as personal mantra. It also represents the life of Christ as an outcast on earth, yet a representative of God--a clear indication of our need to be accepted by people, but lacking heaven's backing.

After years of careful study of the Bible, the author of The Voice of the Sword gives Christians an opportunity to consider these findings and compare them with their conclusions, unlocking the mysteries of the Bible. These conclusions can limit God, attribute misunderstandings, and come up with false conclusions because of a lack of knowledge. This understanding of the Bible, God, and the findings must line up with all the other scriptures and be consistent throughout (Luke 24:13-53). Jesus is coming again in a way that is a mystery. Unless you broaden your understanding, you'll miss Him like so many others. The Word is the foundation. Build on this.

This little story is actually my story. I wanted to let children know that this disease is out there, and they may be confronted with it. By making it seen through the eyes of a child, I hope to remove the fear and replace it with understanding. Kids are quite smart.

The events are both fascinating and thrilling.
