Foster Parenting Essentials was written for new childcare providers. After many years as a foster parent, the author realized that most new childcare providers were not prepared. New foster parents are schooled in rules and regulations, but little is taught about the challenges ahead. This book was written from experience to prepare for common, unanticipated situations while providing explanations and solutions to normal events that occur in foster care. Humor and personal examples are mixed in for reinforcement. This is an easy read that should benefit anyone entering the childcare profession.

How many people still believe that the first human being was a man? If the Bible shows that the first earth creature God created was male and female and that the woman was formed from the side, not the rib, then biblical gender equality has to be accepted as a fact, and the subordination of women needs to be acknowledged as the result of sin. The original Hebrew word that was translated as rib is sela. An accurate translation of this word should be side. Because the first woman was formed from the side and all ingredients (bone and flesh) were taken from the first human being, the man and the woman have common origin. God called both the first man and the first woman Adam (Genesis 5:2). However, after the Fall, the man kept the name Adam, which is the Hebrew word for human being, for himself and renamed the woman. By doing so, he stole humanity from the woman (and consequently from all women) and reduced her to the role of being the mother of all living, which is the translation of the Hebrew word Eve. The ruling of the man over the woman was not Gods intention, but the result of sin (Genesis 3:16). What happened in Genesis 3:16 was corrected in John 3:16. John tells us, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. This promise was made to the whole Adam, not only the male part. God redeems both the man and the woman equally. Now we do not live under sin anymore, but under grace. Therefore, Paul can write in Galatians 3:2729, For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abrahams descendants, heirs according to promise. This promise belongs to both the man and the woman. Christ reunites the male and the female again as one and calls both of them Adam.

Have you ever thought about the leadership style of Jesus Christ? There has never been anyone who has had an influence on the world the same as Jesus. He began His ministry with a small group of men who He equipped to change the world. Jesuss strategy of leading did not focus on prestige, wealth, power, or force. The plan of Jesus, from the start of His ministry, was to be a servant-leader. The servant-leadership style of Jesus is a strategy that will benefit any organization, business, charity group, or congregation.

The pain of heartache and struggles of everyday life are revealed for one single purpose: to open the eyes of those who are struggling in their own relationships. There is hope and I encourage you to seek professional help when you feel there isn't any hope. Then seek the Lord who offers unconditional love, mercy, and grace. Run to His open arms and allow Him to hold you. You will be so glad you did! He supplies all your needs with the unconditional love that surpasses all understanding.

Reading about others' struggles should give you encouragement to get through your own adversity. I pray God's blessings on you!

The Bible teaches the all-important subject of righteousness in the Old and New Testaments. It also identifies righteousness as indispensable in the believer's walk with God. The same Bible condemns unrighteousness as well as self-righteousness in clear terms. Many people are ignorant of self-righteousness and how the enemy uses it to torment and derail lives. It keeps many souls from being saved and has been keeping many believers from making heaven. In this ground-breaking book, the author, Pastor Emmanuel Atoe, stresses that believers must know the true meaning of righteousness and accept God's righteousness rather than seek their own (Philippians 3:7-10). The book highlights comprehensively what self-righteousness entails. It also explains the character of a self-righteous person. A self-righteous person is defined as one who is confident in his or her own righteousness. He or she also shows superiority above all others, especially if they have a different opinion than theirs. It identifies the root causes of self-righteousness as excessive focus on self, ignorance, pride, unbelief, frustrating the grace of God, among others. Also, the book reveals the manifestations of righteousness and warns us to avoid its booby traps and pitfalls. We should learn from all that Jesus pointed out about the self-righteous attitude of the Pharisees in Matthew 23.
