"The Love of The Father" has a way of transforming the wickedest of sinners into saints, the unlovable to be loved, the bitter to become sweet, the lonely to be comforted, the outcasts to be accepted while shaping all of us to become images of Him. The message of the Love of God is missing in many institutions due to a quest for power and authority. Love was removed from education, government and even some houses of worship. It is imperative that we get back to that which brought us this far, that being Christ''s genuine, sincere, forgiving and unconditional love. Man must repent and return to God. We must recognize that the greatest gift we have is the love of God being given freely and without cost. As you read this brief account of the many facets of love demonstrated in scripture and through my personal experiences, I hope it will encourage you to draw near to God and focus on His unending love.

Over the millennia, much of the Judeo-Christian population has fallen into a comfortable, familiar relationship with the Creator of the Universe. We have come a very long way from the time when He gave Moses very specific instructions that His name was YHVH, meaning I AM WHO I AM. His name was revered, respected and feared. But somewhere along the way His name took on the common name, "God". As you will discover in this book, "god" is a generic term for any deity. By reducing the name of the Lord-Yehovah or Yahweh-to god, we have lost the intimacy which the Lord intended for us to have with Him. When He instructed us to "call upon the name of the Lord," what name do you suppose He meant? In "My Name is Not God", Rabbi Henry takes us on a journey through the Scriptures to re-acquaint us with our Creator, the Lover of our soul, by teaching us about His wonderful name and titles. I guarantee that you will blessed as you begin to insert them into your prayer life. M. J. Alexander Friend and student

Incredibly, within just 90 minutes after his unwavering announcement to the world (on September 30th, 2013) that the United States may indeed bomb Syria, President Obama inexplicably changed course and was already contemplating calling the whole thing off. But who and/or what exactly could have happened to so abruptly cause President Barack Obama to make the consensus, greatest foreign policy blunder of his eight-year Presidency - by backing down, ultimately for good, from enforcing his “Red Line” Ultimatum against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for launching a banned chemical weapons attack that killed over 1,300 of his own people in August 2013?In A President’s Dithering False Bravado, Patterson meticulously and compellingly presents the case that, based on sound deductive reasoning, there exists the requisite preponderance of evidence to persuasively and conclusively support the contention as to who or what nation caused and convinced President Barack Obama – that very same day - to back down from enforcing his “Red Line” Ultimatum against Syria in 2013.Even more intriguing, why did President Obama believe it to be so imperative to capitulate – even at the indelible risk to his Presidential foreign policy legacy; given the torrent of criticism that he has been forced to endure ever since for having backed down from enforcing his “Red Line” Ultimatum against Syria and, in particular Bashar al-Assad. Moreover above all else, why couldn’t Barack Obama ever let it be known to the American People exactly who or what nation it was that ultimately forced President Obama’s hand into backing down from enforcing his “Red Line” Ultimatum against Syria in 2013?What’s more, dithering even further - less than 24 hours later - President Obama stunningly reverses himself a second time the very next day; by contradictorily declaring “Now after careful deliberation [presumably overnight], I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian Regime targets…So to all members of Congress of both parties, I ask you to take this vote [approving Congressional authorization] for our National Security… I’m ready to act in the face of this outrage.” And yet in 2016, Barack Obama contradicts himself again; insisting that, in truth, no such threat to U.S. National Security, in fact, ever existed after all.Third, although only six days after that (September 6th, 2013) and despite repeated threats of false bravado to hold Syria militarily responsible, President Obama makes another 180-degree foreign policy decision reversal; conceding to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the United States would call off its military strike against Syria if Assad would just agree – as his only penalty – to surrender his country’s entire banned chemical weapons arsenal to the International Community. A condition to which Assad agreed to do, but ultimately did not comply with and for which Assad and Syria were never militarily punished throughout the remainder of the Obama Presidency.Finally in his fourth major foreign policy decision reversal over just fifteen days (on September 14th, 2013), at the insistence of Vladimir Putin, President Obama - “turning on a dime” once again - backed down from his previously unswerving demand that the Syrian Chemical Weapons Agreement call for a compulsory military response should Syria fail to turn over its entire chemical weapon stockpile - effectively dooming the enforcement of the agreement to ultimate failure from its inception.______________________________________A President’s Dithering False Bravado is Gary R. Patterson’s sixth book over the last ten years - all of which chronicle and critique the two-term Presidency of Barack Obama (2009-2017).

I was assaulted by a cruel and uncaring assassin. Numbness was my first reaction followed by fear, confusion, sorrow, anger, and pain in an ever changing, repetitious pattern. This intrusion had already threatened to not only shatter my life, but end it. Retaliation was recognized slowly but being true to who I am, I have fought with all my mind and strength.

Each day a new page is written in our life story. It consists of everything we have thought, every choice we have made and every action taken. It's our story and the compilation of each page is who we are today. Looking back across the pages of our story gives us an opportunity to reflect on where we have come from and provides opportunity to improve our future.Most, if not all, of us have many twists and turns in our life story. Successes and failures, bad choices and good choices, close to God and far from God are some of the twists we can identify.This 6- week compelling Bible study will encourage women to look deeper into God's Word to find meaning and guidance for our wanderings and determine next steps to bring us closer to God's plan for our life. Included in each lesson are instructions to create a Twisted Journey Quilt top. What better way to document our life than to sew it into a quilt that can be used to share our story with others that may be following the same or similar journey. The study can be completed without sewing the quilt top. 

Carole Gariepy never planned to write a book on isolation until it happened to her. After she and her husband Gerry, both elderly, were staying at home to stay healthy, it made them reflect on two places in the United States they visited where people had been isolated -- at Kalaupapa in Hawaii where the lepers were sent and to Minidoka in Idaho where the Japanese Americans were interned during World War II.You have to walk in someone's shoes to truly feel and understand what a person is experiencing. When Carole and Gerry visited the leper colony and internment camp, the tragedy of the situations touched them, also they saw how acts of kindness and caring from others uplifted them and gave them strength to face the challenges they had to endure.Now with COVID-19 and isolation to stop the spread, along with fear of catching the virus, Carole was motivated to write a story that integrated all three isolations -- drawing from the history she learned at her recent visit to the leper colony, the story told to her by Paul Chihara who was a resident for four years at the internment camp, and her own present experiences with the virus.In all cases, the outreach of caring words and actions brought hope and sustenance, even fun during difficult times. Simple kindnesses can make all the difference, and it's something everyone can do.

Obsydian Butterfly takes you through experiences, events and challenging moments that are jaw dropping and just astonishing.

Walk with her page by page as a little girl, woman, wife, and Marine, and you will understand why she asks Why is God F*#$ing with me? ~ Luke Wright, Motivational speaker, leadership coach and author

A gripping collection of poems scratched out along the road, delineating surreal scenes, epiphanies, reconciliation and moments of vivid clarity. The author''s experiential insights extract meaning from a personal altercation with death, periods of doom and demoralization, the euphoria found in lust-colored love and the feel of calm soaking into the bones. This collection tackles emotionally complex topics with poignancy, humor and philosophical edginess. Part One, Reflections offer a brutal, authentic focus on things demanding honest inquiry. The physical and emotional logic swing from subdued and melancholy to simple sunny and the implacable enemy of conformity, knocking on doors sheltering controversy and discomfort. Part Two, Observations provide an examination of ingrained assumptions and world view, thus tempting a deconstruction of fixed thought. This section glimpses the mysteries of the external and transcendent, and how they may affect the individual psyche. Part three, Odes pays homage to those who''ve assisted in shaping the pursuit of purpose, self-awareness and a capacity to see best in others. This collection closes with Nolan''s Poem... a piece inspired by real events, offering a peek into the forthcoming novel: On Troubled Roads to Everywhere... a fascinatingly depraved and brutal yet savagely funny and inspirational telling of a boy''s cry from hell.

Germs are invisible to the human eye.  They are tiny and minute and can only be seen under a powerful electronic microscope.  Undenounced to people, they hide in plain sight.  They are everywhere and on everything and are found all over the World.  They can affect people anytime and anywhere without warning.  Despite being so tiny, germs are powerful, and strong while people can be weak and vulnerable.   They are also dangerous and there is no way to avoid them.  Germs make people sick – extremely sick.Luckily throughout the World there are many health agencies and health professionals trying to prevent spread of disease-causing germs and help people stay healthy.  However, their help is not enough if people fail to take care of their own personal health and hygiene and neglect to wash their hands more frequently.   According to the public health agencies, the most effective way for people to prevent getting sick is by thoroughly washing their hands before and after many tasks.  They recommend using soap and water and appropriate handwashing procedures.  By proper handwashing, people can prevent spread of disease germs to others and keep themselves and their loved ones from getting sick.In addition, parents, teachers, and educators can work with children at their early age on how to properly wash their hands by guiding them and showing them the correct procedures. To help children learn, adults can demonstrate good hand washing through fun filled handwashing activities.  Some of which are demonstrated in this guide “Washing Germs Down the Drain”.  Working with young children is the best way to promote effective behavioral changes for the future generations with the anticipation that change in behavior in children will continue through their growing years, their adult lives and into old age with the hopes of decreases the spread of illness to self and others from lack of handwashing.Germs have no idea how destructive they could be, but it is up to people to make changes to their lifestyles so they can be safe, keep others safe and help everyone stay healthy.

Leadership is a lifestyle, not a vocation. The Process creates emotionally intelligent leadership starting in your relationships, and extending into your business and your entire lifeOver the years, I have counseled hundreds of people. The “help” I shared with couples in crisis has now evolved into a repeatable Process that, when entered into with full commitment, can bring life transformation from the inside out that not only saves marriages, but changes lives for the better in all directions. What I learned in developing and implementing the Process was that sustainable change and growth depends on the changes you apply to your every-day life, relationships, and thought patterns. These changes stem from a deep inward change. They are not sustainable unless they are transformations that occur inwardly and are expressed outwardly.This book summarizes the Process. It contains probing and powerful questions at the end of each chapter, questions designed to help you discover your own way forward. Whether you are struggling as an individual, in a relationship, or married, the Process will point you in the direction of seeking and receiving help as a lifestyle, not as a solution to a problem. It will illuminate the difference between destination orientation, and journey orientation, not only in your relationships but in all aspects of your life. It will show you how true leadership starts in your own life and your own home, and is then translated out into your vocation and your community.

As we also glorify God in magnifying him, he will frequently give us occasion of praising or telling others of his magnificent power and favor to us. He will enable us to look up to him with comfort and cheerfulness and upon our enemies with confidence where he will lift us out of the oppressive situations in which we go through and he will restore us to our former power and dignity from which we have fallen.Many of us are living in our pride day in and day out except for giving God all due glory and when we do this he will abase us bringing us down to our knees and we will then recognize that he is the one that is to be magnified. Men may try to rule, but God is the overseer. He is a mighty God full of compassion. We should give him thanks daily.and magnify his holy name. He is Lord of Lords, King of Kings, the all Majestic. Power and ruler of all.Like when Elijah called out to God and said; “Let it be known this day that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that I have done all these things at your word. Listen to me, O Lord. Hear me, so that these people may know that you are the Lord God and that you have turned their hearts back again.” Then the fire of the Lord came down, burning up the offering with the wood and the stones and the dust, and lapped up all the water that was in the drain.

This work is an outburst of the conscience that starts with a tone of tempered apprehension. Not to be mistaken as that of raising a false alarm, as we often do to downplay the seriousness of calamitous events confronting us. It blares out a siren with a loud trumpet, delineating the precipice upon which mankind is ‘perching’ at this material time all over the globe — blindly!That is to say, that it captures the overall dangerous state of human affairs as they have been from time immemorial and as they are now staring at us ominously in the face today, offering diagnostic wholesome principles for the re-establishment of viable governance and relationships in all human societies.It is an anthology with a difference due to its down to earth simple nature.At every page turned, one will not be reading a series of poems, but seeing the realities of our lives laid bare before our very eyes! In this work I have poured out my heart, emptying everything in my mind, with well-founded spiritual undertone, in view of redirecting the path of humanity to where Divine Love, that with which we and everything in Creation are made and governed in its true essence, and therefore not Money nor sheer Power rules! - For a better tomorrow for all!
