You can be a born-again Christian on your way to heaven, but if you don't learn who Jesus is, you are not getting the best out of your investment before you get to heaven.This book is not written from my education. This book is written from my revelation.Psalm 9:10 tells us, "And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee."When you transform your mind by the word of God (Romans 12:1-2), you will learn who He is. When you learn who God is, you will understand why He came. When you learn the price that Jesus paid for your salvation, you will have a desire to live a life that is pleasing to Him. There is a promise that comes with pleasing the Lord. Proverbs 16:7 tells us, "When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."You may not be fully surrendered to His control; however, if you want to live a life that God desires for you to live, He will change you. You can live a life that is pleasing to God and live in victory all the days of your life. Then you, too, will be able to say who Jesus really is!

At West Colesville Baptist Church, I taught the adult class of men and women for over forty years. I hope what I have written encourages Christians to live a godly life.

The positioning of this book JWJ centers around how, after surviving multiple years of uncertainty as a world, we are all reprioritizing what is important to us--thinking of our life's Journey overall as an ongoing adventure with a purpose.As humans, we must live the life we were created for, and we ALL have the power to make a difference in this world right where we are, with Jesus at the helm.You will read about the amazing things that God has done both in my life as well as many others to not only provide and sustain us but to BLESS us in both good and seemingly bad situations. This book's focus is primarily on hard times because we all go through them, and when we do, we typically get side-blinded by being in the moment, and we forget to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. And that's an amazingly hard place to be...BUT THERE IS ALWAYS LIGHT. Let's prepare for all things unknown by staying positive now and allowing God to intervene and support the then. Your relationship with God can make it a very different experience because truth is, we don't always know the beauty that can result from difficult and seemingly bad situations--but GOD DOES!Read on and be inspired, and more importantly, let this inspiration equip you to face life's challenges with the joy in knowing that God has a better plan for your life. Everyone is given different challenges, and some are directly based on the choices we've faced and decisions we have made with our gift of free will. Find true purpose and your legacy by building your relationship with the living God today, and let your Journey begin.Jesus came so you might enjoy your life most abundantly (John 10:10).

2 The book recounts the recollections of the author's experiences and positive perceptions of his thoughts as he worked his way through life. He had a stroke at age nine, which took away the use of his right side and his articulation. While most people would consider this a bad break, he looked at the occurrence as a part of life, accepted by him with peace and tranquility. The author has always looked forward to the next day and all the expectations it holds. The challenges presented by the stroke and other changes in his path have enhanced his life, not lessened it. He considers himself a fortunate person for all that has come his way. The stories are humorous. Most of them are told from a little boy's perspective and the amusing adventures one finds himself in when he has one functional side. He hopes that his writings will help people by giving them a different way of looking at life. Keep trying and good times are sure to come.

Are you ready for The Perfect x-change? We are back with our third installment of the journey we are taking together. In this body of work, the Holy Spirit has prompted me to create a self-paced guide to help us change our "inner light" from dark to light. Luke 11:34 states, "The eye is the lamp of your body." When your eye is clear (spiritually perceptive, focused on God), your whole body also is full of light (benefiting from God's precepts). But when it is bad (spiritually blind), your body also is full of darkness (devoid of God's word) (AMP). In short, in life, when we see things through darkness (perceiving through our eyes), our lives become dark, and our countenance/image becomes dark. Yet when we see things through the light (through the perspective of God's Word and through His light), we are filled with that light. Our lives are filled with that light! Family, how many of us are ready to turn on our lights? Take this fifty-day journey with me as we begin to cultivate the art of exchanging our darkness for His light.

Candy Apples is a story that helps sharpen the character of being honest, showing integrity, and being content with delayed gratification. The story reminds the reader to not get weary of doing well. If one can be trusted with smaller things, then one can be trusted with the larger things.The main character, Cameron, will be challenged by his friends to make a choice going against his principles taught. Cameron will get the opportunity to thoroughly process the situation being presented and the reward or consequences that each decision may present. Candy Apples will assist the parent, guardian, or leader in forming questions when speaking to a child to help him or her to better understand how to develop the character trait integrity. The story will give the child a visual example of being presented with a real-life situation that requires one to make a positive decision with the influence of peers and a trustworthy adult. This short story will encourage adult/child dialogue to help bring awareness to positive character. The literature will suggest questions to help foster healthy decision making. Candy Apples can be read, used, and understood by an older child for individual character building; however, it is also an opportunity for a guardian or leader to read with a child as a way to spend quality time.

Imagine for a moment, you are being whisked away from the only home you have ever known. The future is uncertain and you aren't even aware of your destination. The smell of train tracks carrying you farther and farther away as you clutch your favorite blanket, which is the only certain thing in your world at the moment. You may ask why this is happening, but the only person who can answer that is silent. That is the beginning of this story and one that is felt all over America as children are placed into foster care. The deafening noise of uncertainty as they enter the unknown. What about the other side? The foster parents who are just as nervous to open their door to a child that they just learned existed 3 hours ago. The unpredictability of knowing that they could love this child with every fiber of their being, and she could leave them in a moment's notice. There is also a broken first family somewhere who may not know where their child is sleeping. Is he crying for me? Is he thirsty and the family doesn't understand him? They don't know he sleeps with his blanket every night. The thoughts swirl as the lack of control as a parent weighs heavy.What is the responsibility of Christians in all of this? Church, let's show up. Let's be the voice they hear praying for them, loving them, and living out all that James 1:27 really encompasses. This is the heart of Foster Blessings.

On May 15, 1967, God fought for Israel and provided a Six-Day War victory over four Arab countries surrounding Israel. God fights for Israel in many ways in the Bible and for His people who serve Him. He still fights for people today. This book will share some of those miraculous ways that God prepares victory for those who love Him. I have shared many of these victories in the book and how that God helps us in many different ways.The book shares that good people can be delivered into bad situations. Men like Job, Daniel and his three friends, the disciples, and even Jesus suffered at the hands of wicked men. In Psalm 22:1, David asks, "Why have you forsaken me?'' This same feeling was shared by Jesus on the cross as all the sins of mankind were upon Him. How do we handle suffering and affliction? You will read how God has helped those who suffered in the past, the present and will help those in the future. He provides victory through our battles.You will see that we can find Jesus in the lives of many in the Bible. Moses was like Jesus in many ways. Jesus and Moses were shepherds, leaders, judges, mediators, prophets, priests, and deliverers. Moses's rod was God's right hand of power and victory, and Jesus is at God's right hand. Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Daniel and his three friends, David, Solomon, and others all had similar traits and trials that Jesus bore. The God-inspired Bible is designed for a Savior, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins and lead us to glory. Please enjoy this book and share it with others.

Cradle to Comfort is exactly what God Himself did for me. Throughout the years, he is an ever-present guide in my life. He took what others denied and kept every promise for a beautiful life, one of which I can only acclaim to be His. I certainly could not have accomplished everything I have without the Lord. In Cradle to Comfort, I found strength, courage, faith and so much more I never imagined possible. I owe my life and all I am to Jesus Christ.I pour my heart out there so that others may know just how empowering a faith walk can be. From recovery to restoration, struggles to find inner strength, and all the mysteries of life can result from the choice to follow him and trust in him. I am who I am because of others along the path, but mostly because God designed me to stand out, not fit in. To God be the glory for lost Janie finding her way in life, no longer be scared of what might be or what wasn't meant to be. She was that eagle that got her wings clipped, wounded, and hurt yet healed and mended beyond all I ever thought possible.

'Twas the day before Christmas when all through the home,Beau, the dachshund, was starting to roam.He smelled, and he scratched, and he searched here and there,He looked high and low and under the chair.The sights and the smells were so enticing,What happened next was most surprising!

Caterpillars change into butterflies all the time, but true miracles are dead butterflies coming back to life.Resurrecting the Butterfly Graveyard is a collection of forty poems about wrestling with God during a time of confusion, anger, and hurt. It's a story about being vulnerable and expressing frustration with God and His plan. It's a story about losing everything you love and feeling alone and abandoned. However, it's also a story about new life being breathed into dead lungs. The Lord wants to strip away everything that we cling to, the things that have caused our souls to feel cold, dead, and empty, and give us a fresh start and a clean slate. Disappointment and pain are a part of life, but we need to place them on the altar and let God be God. Let Him resurrect broken hearts, burned relationships, and dead dreams.

Prayerless PrayingThe Wisdom We Need to Rebuild a Life of PrayerYour prayer life needs just a little help.Prayerless praying is a problem of both faith and discipline. Learning to commune with God is what led the disciples of Jesus to come one day to ask him to teach them how to pray like John the Baptist taught his disciples. The interesting answer Jesus gave them was that "when you pray, not if you pray." Prayer then is vital in the life of a believer. Without prayer there is no growth. Think of prayer as learning to speak. So also, when you became born-again, learning how to speak with your father is key to meaningful relationship. This book will remind you how that is like and help you understand the place and importance of prayer, help you rebuild a life of prayer.Prayerless lives are powerless lives. Emmanuel has addressed issues at the very core of Christian living and has directed the reader to the truth of a peaceful, powerful life; that is prayer.--Kate Bougthon, dean of Emmanuel Bible Institute

Padre Pio is known as the priest with the stigmata, the five wounds of Christ, which he bore for fifty years. They are many books telling of his miracles, healings, spiritual gifts of bilocation, reading of consciences, prophecies, and many more. There are none written specifically on the theology of Padre Pio--the spiritual principles he lived by. These principles can be summed up in the understanding of Redemptive Suffering. It was "the way of Padre Pio." In his own words, St. Pio tells us how to love the Mass, his participation in the Mass, the Madonna, how to pray, to survive the Dark Night, as well as its purpose, the importance of purgatory, and how to use the pain in our life to sanctify ourself and others. Most importantly, he tells us why God allows suffering, its purpose in our lives, and how to heal others with it. Any spiritual child of Padre Pio who seeks to know and understand this saint will find, in simple words, how to live out the spiritual principles he lived by.Filled with over four hundred citations and sixty references from St. Pio and other Redemptive Suffering saints, such as St. Faustina Kowalska, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Teresa of Avila, The Way of Padre Pio is well documented. Each saint offers their understanding and experiences of suffering and how they used it to live joyous lives, and not only live joyously but heal others with it.The Way of Padre Pio weaves the basic tools of Redemptive Suffering--penance and reparation, which take the form of suffering and sacrifice--into common areas of life and how to use them to sanctify ourself and others. It is how to live the Redemptive Life in all circumstances and answer Mary's call at Fatima to offer ourselves as Victims for the salvation of the world.There are additional resources through the website, friendsofpadrepio.com, that include bookmarks, prayers, and reading materials, as well as how to begin a prayer group at your parish.

My husband and I have five adult children. In September 2021, our only son died of a drug overdose. Over the years, I've learned to obey the Scripture to hide God's Word in my heart so I will not sin against him, even in the worst circumstances that bring the deepest pain. When I received the news of his death, through the tears, I asked God, "Please help me see opportunities to bless you through this loss." I wanted to walk through this with hope, not bitterness; joy, not self-pity.This study is the compilation of my working through my grief, biblically. The Lord brought David's life to mind, with particular attention to Psalm 34. David says, "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praises shall continually be in my mouth." His life was a rollercoaster of devastation. God called him "a man after my own heart" because David was determined to live for God through any obstacle, even with repentance when he failed. David's life offers such amazing examples of blessing God through pain, loss, and fear.Running life's race with faith is a day-by-day choice to offer pain, self-pity, and bitterness to God in exchange for humility, joy, and hope. God's power will be made perfect in our weaknesses, he promises. I'm praying that by the end of this study you will learn how to exchange any obstacle for an opportunity to "bless the Lord." Not just to do that, but to bless the Lord at all times, letting his praises continually be in your mouth.

The author, P.J. Day and his two brothers and two sisters grew up in the magical valley of Tesuque (Tazookey), located about five miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. One of the family pets was a little gray burro they had named Pedro, who was less than a year old when he came to live with them. While reminiscing about that marvelous childhood on Christmas Day 2001, the first book, A Burro's Tale was conceived. Some years after that, the story continued in Call of the Burro and now the third book in the series; The Burro's Colt.The setting for The Burro's Colt continues to be the Tesuque Valley. Some of the original burros from A Burro's Tale and Call of the Burro remain on the ranch. Many of which have become too old to rent out for any serious work, but continue to be loved and cared for by Raphael and his family. In this third book in the series the burros are more in the background of the story rather than the story revolving around the burros many adventures.A twist of fate places Pedro in the position of serving Jesus once again in his time of need. Jesus and the Holy Family have returned to Jerusalem after being gone for some eighteen years. The Burro's Colt places the reader in numerous situations throughout the book that the reader must determine what they themselves may have decided to do under the same circumstances. Especially, if they were put in the kind of danger that taking the wrong side might have placed them in, within what has undoubtedly become the greatest story ever told.

A story for all ages about the purpose in life's difficulties. Discovering that identity is more than an outward image, but the product of how you receive the process that would forge it."You are being created. I am shaping you with a purpose. That you may have a destiny and become all I am shaping you to be," is what the master said.
