"Waiting is inevitable." I am sure you have already heard the words "change is inevitable." I would like to propose that there is another word that can be included in the inevitable list, and this word is waiting.We are in an era where most people use a microwave, enjoy eating fast food, and like everything to happen right now. Most of us do not like waiting. In this book, While You Wait, we are going to learn the following:* Waiting on God is inevitable.* God hasn't changed amidst the changes in this fast-paced world.* The process of growing in intimacy with God* The benefits of waiting* Why God allows seasons of waiting* What we should do while waitingWherever you are in your season of waiting, whether it's for healing, an increase in finances, a promotion, a spouse, or maybe for the next level in your relationship with God, let me encourage you to wait with the right attitude because God has your seasons and times in His hands.Susan Musgrave Nee Isidore has been fully committed to the Lord for over twenty-four years.

This book offers a unique perspective on the history of the African American people without being offensive to others and offers this history from the perspective of being an African American living here in the United States of America. The book was written from the perspective of its author who was born in the late '50s, experienced adolescence from the late '60s to the early '70s entered adulthood in the middle '70s, which has given the author of this book, the entire spectrum of life here in America pre-integration (segregation), as well as living in the post-integration era. The struggles of African Americans were truly real, and this book offers a concise and rather limited overview of African American history.Nevertheless, the book offers pertinent and timely information still very much needed today. Being biblically inspired as well, this book contains both scripture and scriptural commentaries. Having the influence of the author's faith intertwined, this is a no-holds-barred reading. In addition, the book contains records of the likes of historical violence-filled voter suppression and the groups who initiated such violence against the African American voter, along with the movers and shakers of political empowerment for African Americans throughout this still-young history of African American in this country.The book contains historical essays on lynching, along with the achievements of African Americans as well, and despite all the roadblocks that have been put in from of them, African American continues to thrive. Finally, the book hopes and serves to motivate African Americans and others in an attempt for those to believe in those "better days" for themselves and others as well, here living in the United States of America.

Proper communication is too important to ignore and easier than you think to achieve. The problem is our education system has failed to give students the skills to adequately convey a given message. In the early 1900s, authors William Strunk and E.B. White used simple but powerful instruction on improving grammar and usage in their classic book, The Elements of Style. America the Grammar is the modern-day version. This book will help improve the grammar and communication skills of students in middle school, high school, and college whether in a traditional institution or homeschool, with clear examples based on history and strong, Judeo-Christian and American values. It will also help anyone who could use a refresher. Remember this: We do not learn grammar and communication to correct people when they make a mistake. We learn it because it is a necessary and powerful skill to succeed in life. Join me.

This book is about Bible stories, so whoever read them will read these stories of the Bible the right way, and learn them all the right way, and will be absolutely sure that it is the right way, and that way you won't never ever have to take no one else's words for it again, and have no doubt because it is completely undeniable unto you, and you can finally say that you know that Bible, that you have learned the Bible, that the Bible is not confusing to you anymore, it is not no parable and no mystery no more, and the whole entire Bible is true after all.These books are my notebooks from over the last sixteen years, and therefore, all of my books are only my notebooks, and so far as of now, I have written about ninety-five subject notebook tablets of many, many, many books of the Bible stories, like this one. And therefore, I have over thirty thousand pages of books upon books, and more than the world can contain, and way more than enough, more than any average person will read.

"You shouldn't feel like that" is a statement that demonstrates ignorance and unkindness, whether intentional or not. It invalidates the expression of the person revealing his or her inherent feelings and exploits that person's vulnerability. Research shows that this can result in mental health disorders, divorce, suicide, and even mass murders.Everyone has emotional experiences, and all the significant events of life include them; however, the causes and the consequences of emotions are among the least understood and underappreciated aspects of the human experience. Emotional integrity boldly intends to change that.This book presents conclusively that the disciplines of theology, social science, and medical science support the concept of emotional integrity and that the health and well-being of our society depends upon the understanding and acceptance of and adherence to this concept.This will not be an overnight transformation. Centuries of misunderstandings and decades of assertions based on them will need to be challenged until a broad enough base of theologians, educators, and mental health practitioners understand the concept of emotional integrity, accept it, and persuasively promote it. If they are successful, it is very likely that husbands and wives, parents and children, bosses and workers, friends and neighbors will experience healthy and fulfilled personal relationships.

Wow! The title of this book is not what I expected. This book will make you think of how little we actually appreciate what we already have. If you do not walk away with a diamond nugget that will affect your life, I advise a reread.

I read a quote from Oral Roberts that said, "If you want to gain a better understanding of Jesus Christ, read the gospels and Acts three times in thirty days." So I did, and it changed me. Then I went through the gospels and read all the red letters twice. And it changed me even more. I realized that what I was being told in church was only a fraction of what the Lord truly says. It was then that I learned that heaven and salvation are not one and the same. It made me wonder why the church never preaches on Matthew 7:21:Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Why is that they don't preach on this passage? I think that is a very important statement from the Lord Jesus. Jesus also tells us, not once but twice, Many are called but few are chosen. (Matt. 20:16; Matt. 22:14) This got me thinking, only Christians call Jesus Lord, and many are called to go to church and serve the Lord, but few are chosen. That made me wonder if I would be chosen. Let me ask you this: Are you chosen? Are you promised to go to heaven? This book is a must read for every Christian.

We have all heard ourselves saying these American proverbs. They are as American as apple pie, peanut butter and jelly, and hamburgers. This book shines a bright light into the truth and meaning behind these common sayings of ours. Now using the lens of the Bible to help us see these statements through dialogue, we can understand more accurately if American proverbs contain the truth. The stories are often comical and whimsical but always get to the heart of the matter. As you read each American proverb and the story, you will want to share them with family and friends, and in so doing, you will be imparting the life-changing truths of the Scriptures.

Reading what Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence--"All Men Are Created Equal"--and the Constitution of the United States, framed and adopted in 1787 and put into effect in March 1789, I want to know if those fundamental laws and principles that are supposed to govern the operation of our states are annulled for people of color.I wrote this book because I needed to say this again and out loud. I want to know if anyone is listening. Are we going to continue to ignore these laws and principles written to govern the United States by our forefathers? If so, please reconsider.We are the people of these United States. We are citizens made equally by our God.

Rick Logan was a long time rock and roll star or more of a twinkle at this stage in his career. His venues may have diminished, but his dedication and enthusiasm were still as strong as ever. He had just finished a gig in a casino in Tennessee and was on his way to North Carolina in a borrowed 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, when he had a run in with the local law. He was sentenced to thirty days of community service and became a ward of the Mountain Pines Nursing Home.Evelyn Burton was the director of the Mountain Pines Nursing Home Alzheimer's Facility. She was very excited about having an in-house rock star to perform and help with the production of her annual Christmas Pageant. It was her recommendation that Rick Logan be placed under her supervision.Rita Beckwith was Evelyn's head nurse. She did not share Evelyn's optimism nor her enthusiasm. Actually, she thought Evelyn was delusional. She failed to see how an egomaniac with no concept of Alzheimer's or Dementia could be anything but a disaster. She was quite sure Evelyn could not rehabilitate Rick Logan and found the whole thing very menacing.Everything in this story actually happened.

The Father's Words: The Light to Our Path reminds how life is a journey filled with joy, sorrow, and unforeseen circumstances. Learning how to navigate through each one is a journey in itself. Each personal story tells how easy it is to misinterpret the events in life and how that leads to inaccurate perceptions. Though many events in our pasts are good, many find us over our heads in uncharted waters scrambling to come out on the other side. However, we come to learn if we allow those experiences to guide our thoughts, we remain victims who are perpetually trapped by the walls we construct for safety, confused by what we think defines us, or constantly searching for purpose. There is a place, God's Word, where we learn that He is our Father, our Creator, who continually oversees His creation, counsels us with His eye on us, and faithfully guides to redeem us to Himself through His Son, Jesus. Every verse presented in these pages tells how God as the Father uses His words to align His children's perspectives, thoughts, and hearts to His. Discover for yourself how He proves by His words that He can be known and trusted. Allow them to be the light to your path to direct and conform you more into the likeness of His Son as you journey through life.

Why do we have the freedom to choose? What are the choices we make? Why do we make certain decisions? How do we reason and select or evaluate our choices to make life work for us? Or is it about us? Pro-Choice, Pro-God, Pro-Life: A Multiple-Choice Answer for a Humanity Question addresses these inquiries and others.Choice is a fundamental freedom in a free society as opposed to a dictatorship. Choice has always been a God-given ability for angelic beings and humans. Lucifer and the heavenly host exercised their ability to choose long before God created humankind. Two-thirds of the angelic beings decided to stay on God's side, and one-third decided to rebel with Lucifer. What we choose and why we make the selections are critical to the success of life. Taking away one's fundamental right to choose creates rebellion, discord, strife, and a form of slavery. Although God may allow it, however, it is not his desire for us.Teaching and influencing people how to make better choices is key to having a better society. In Pro-Choice, Pro-God, Pro-Life: a Multiple-Choice Answer for a Humanity Question, you will explore why we as a nation must be committed to establishing and promoting better choice-making abilities, based upon proven biblical truths, and the need for embracing God's grace for overcoming past mistakes.We are a violent, sexually addicted society with a bent toward self-destruction. We cannot afford to leave our future to chance or politicians who have figured out how to manipulate the emotions of the country for their gain. By exercising our God-given ability to choose correctly, we become competently equipped as a nation to be pro-choice, pro-God, and pro-life for our humanity.

My view: This manuscript (soon-to-be-published book), I'm sure is truly a love story. It is spiritual, romantic, serious, instructional, and informative; and throughout the book reads like a love letter to God and to the author's husband-to-be, and now husband, Kelma. There were a couple or more statements in the manuscript (journal entries) that really made me chuckle. I read those about three times because I enjoyed the lightheartedness of the author, as well as my own hearty laughter, which felt very good. I'm pretty certain that this will have the same effect on other readers, as well. My sincerest thanks to the author for asking me to be among the first persons to read her manuscript. I am indeed honored. There's a subtle hint that this manuscript, once published, may be the first in a series of inspirational books, packed with love and appreciation for God, her husband, her family, and others.--Perlene P. MontgomeryThis is my personal account of the author's relationship with God, her spouse, and her ministry.

In this literary record, she declares her determination to trust Jesus as she joyfully seeks to please Him daily and to inspire others to grow deeper in the love and higher in the spirit of Jesus---Audrey L. ByrdI am so honored to have been asked to read this wonderful book. What a delightful, caring, funny story. Follow Elder Gloria Mason on her journey through love loss and love again, a greater love than she would have ever known--love for God, love for family, love for the one that God has for her, as well as love for the plan he is revealing to her. It is a beautiful reminder that if we wait on the Lord, he will make all things new and exciting.--Prophetess Joyce WashingtonI thought the book was magnificent. It's a blessing to me to have lived long enough to find out how talented my daughter is and to read a book that she wrote.A. Louise Williams, Author's Mother (Member of Missionary Guild, and Church Mother)Her compassion for the love of God and the man God sent her to lean on for her to be able to freely work in his kingdom here on earth. She expresses her intimate relationship with recognizing order in her life and why first things should be first to get it right.--Dr. Barbara Privo P. Wiggins, PhD

Why is it so hard to find God, Or should I say, Why is it so hard for God to find you? There are. Those who say, "I Read the Bible often, But Can't Understand it, So I Quickly Lose Interest in it, Then I find myself Seeking a Church, and a Man of God to help me get closer to God, This after a while did not do it for me, So I left the Church, feelings even more depressed than before; Is it really that hard to make a Connection with our God? I been told by others that he said, "that he love all, and wishing that none should perish; Well why is it so hard to find him if he love us? Is our God speaking out of both sides of his mouth? I mean he did say it is impossible for him to lie, He also said what comes out of my mouth can't return void; it that is the case then, you need took at your self, and at your attempts to see what you are doing wrong; less Review, You first Started Reading the Bible, How much time did you spend reading the Bible, once a week, every other month, are just doing hollow days, did I give up my friends who were still involved in daily activities that goes against the Laws, and Commandments of God, Did you give up going to places that God would disapproval, like bars, nightclubs, where you find half nacked woman's, sliding down a pole, How about going out gambling, looking at trying to get rich, and then becoming hooked, spending money you don't have, money that could have been spent on other things, your kids, bills; Now can you see why it was so hard to understand the Bible? Could it be that you are not given your all? Less now put you on the right track, God says seek him first, and all things will be added,, all you need to do is to knock, Asked, and Seek, in the door will be opened; Next you say that you went as far as attending a church, and a minister to bring you closer to God, Let me say this all ministers are not call by God, In other words it is just as bad to hear the words of God from one who is not call to lead you even further from the truth, It's like the blind leading the blind and they both fall into a ditch; One sure way to know that you have made a Connections with God, Is when you seek him daily, Reading his words for yourself, and keeping all of his Laws, and Commandments, by you doing this you show Him that you are truly sincere about knowing him, This is when God releases His Spirit of understanding to your mind, but in small portions, and the more you read his words, the more knowledge is revealed,

Following God's footsteps and the mystery of God's will in Christian life and walk can be a daunting task. Multitudes of voices, life choices, and sociocultural options and challenges make it hard for one to perceive and understand clearly when God is truly speaking and what does His message entails. Thus, like Abraham, it may require an absolute departure from the habitual way of life to a far-out city, country, or region where God can start with us anew. Also, we must be willing to surrender our will to God's will and follow in His footstep wherever He may lead in daily life. Now that requires self-sacrifice and applied humility--a practical death to self.At times it's about listening to God's voice through a moral, spiritual, or ministerial decision. Other times it's just about family life crises, or it can be regarding political or social issues. God's will happens when we commit to listen to His word and apply it to practical life effortlessly for His sake. This author lived through it all and acknowledges that God's will is about following in His footsteps in every area of life--however mysterious or difficult it may appear. God's purpose for our lives' journey is already set in heaven--surrendering to His purpose will lead to a very content, satisfying, and joyful life regardless the challenges we experience throughout our lifetime. This autobiography will challenge you to begin exploring God's footsteps in different facets of your own life and intentionally pursue His mysterious plan.
