He was raised from an early age in his hometown in Oberlin, Kansas. He currently lives in Manhattan, Kansas and "God gives us the strength to inspire one another" is his first novel.

The Foolish Brother Part II is the conclusion of Brother John's journey of teaching and counselling others the requisites for expanding their intellect into the spiritual realm; his new assignment challenged his ability to tactfully address all impieties and laxities in responsibilities that he discovered in his new monastic community. Throughout this sequel, Father john tackled all transgressions with a clear and purposeful goal of rectifying them through specific directives and teachings that inspired his counselees to expand their capacity to rise above their ego's aberrations. His consistent and unwavering expectations and teachings for all to be and do their best, proved fruitful in the restoration of their piety, monastic vows and their spiritual advancement into holiness, humility and love. Even though the setting is a religious community, the numerous teachings and assertions that Father John uses to develop his friars' consciousness and intellectual capacity are equally applicable for any enterprise seeking self-actualization and lasting success, and for the reader who is mindful to the incites of his inner consciousness urging his intellectual expansion into the infinite and unbiased Reality to grasp a taste of The Eternal Life during our transient journey on earth. Jaime Fernandez is a graduate of the University of Memphis residing in Cordova, TN. He is an Independent IT Consultant and a devoted advocate for the development of his consciousness through willfully seeking to expand his grasp of the Unbiased Reality.

Life happens to everyone, and the answers to life's questions and the solutions to its problems are often illusive. But no one is exempt from the challenges and adversity that life brings, be it sickness, death, financial struggles, or family discord. What we seem to forget is that adversity is not always an indicator that something is broken and needs to be fixed or that some wrong has been committed, so perhaps, it is our perspective that really needs to change. Garrick Cook's The Struggle IS Real! announces once more that God has not promised that this life will be free of obstacles; there are mountains and valleys on the path to fulfillment and peace, but God has provided us with the tools to traverse all terrains in His name. In his experience, Cook has found that it is better to trust God's providence and follow Him in His way, rather than to try and determine where the path leads before He's ready to show us. Unlike humanity, God always has a plan and a solution, so maybe our focus should be more on trusting His providence rather than trying to anticipate His omniscience. Try as we might, we cannot find joy through the denial of hardships and the quick fix of material possessions and destructive habits. However, God offers us the greatest joy through a covenant with Him that sustains us during this arduous journey. But one thing is for sure, the struggle IS real!

I gave my life to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in 2015. I was married to an atheist who wanted nothing to do with God. My entire life was turned upside down. I went on a journey from tragedy to triumph. I learned to trust God even when He didn't answer my prayers the way that I wanted. I saw God's faithfulness in the midst of the pain. I saw God's provision in the midst of lack. This is my testimony of how if you allow God, He can take your brokenness and bitterness and give you beauty for ashes.

Every individual will experience God according to the way they think; depending on their thoughts, He might not be whom they think. If you don't believe that He exists, then to you, he doesn't. If you believe that He sends sickness, death, and disease to punish and terrorize His children, then to you, He does. If you think He is a healer, deliverer, and provider, He will be so for you. Thoughts produce after their kind and bring forth their results. Is it possible to be so deep in a relationship with God that nothing can disturb your inner peace? Can your feelings be trusted? Does your "thought life" control your dreams, values, and destinies? In God is Not Who You Think, Author Michael Gullatte answers these questions and shares his memoir of pain, trauma, and transformation from his pre-conceived notions of God in this heartfelt and inspirational memoir.

They have shared the good news in multiple countries and experienced myriad supernatural healings and miracles while ministering. They have discovered that true wealth is to have an unending internal peace amid extraordinary circumstances. Michael and Tarsha have three children, Maurice, Miera, and Michael II. goldenwordnuggets.com

Dear Reader: I am the oldest of four girls and the co-author of this book, Ella Cosby, is the next oldest. Because we are only two years apart in age, we were very close growing up and spent a lot of time together. I noticed that Ella enjoyed drawing and exploring the great outdoors, always looking for an adventure or something to draw. When we were growing up, I always knew that my sister was artistically inclined. She loved to draw and eventually began painting. She was very good, even at a young age. She enjoyed painting pictures of people mostly, as they related to her heritage and her experience as a child growing up with three sisters Eventually, Ella began taking pictures with a disposable camera. She enjoyed that very much and soon purchased a better camera. She would take pictures of just about anything and anybody. It became her passion to capture people, places and things on camera. When the cell phone was discovered, she began taking pictures with her phone. Sometimes she would have both camera and phone taking pictures. Every day I see people doing great things, and it gives me great pleasure to write this forward for one of those persons. I have observed how much Ella loves taking pictures; it has become her passion. This book shows how much she enjoys it and how good she is at it. Ella and Vivian grew up in rural Pittsylvania County, Virginia, with two younger sisters and one brother. Their parents were hard workers who did what they needed to do in order to take care of their family. Vivian was the most studious child and Ella was more of a tomboy who enjoyed nature. At an early age, Ella began taking pictures, while Vivian enjoyed reading and writing. Bothe of the sisters still live in Pittsylvania County very close to one another and their two sisters. They enjoy making people happy and serving others in different capacities. At an early age, they were taught by their mother how to cook, clean, sew and how to become self-sufficient. They have walked in their late mother's shies and become true missionaries in their community. Ella has one sone who lives in Florida. Vivian is the proud mother of one son, a daughter-in-law, and three beautiful grandchildren who live in Florida.

God is a spirit, and we who are spirits must walk in the spirit of His love. My greatest desire, and hunger is for understanding and to be able to teach others.

In 2012 I had a dream, and in this dream were steps leading upwards. True repentance being the first step, as I arrived on the top or these steps, the top being the Holy Spirits Warning. I noticed steps going down; refusing to go down the steps I could still see the names of these steps. The cover of this book has the all the names of these steps. Eventually I found myself going down those steps, having to learn from each mistake over and over. My emotions were torn, at the same time remembering Jesus was there to help me, to forgive me, when I was ready to truly repent. I collapsed in prayer, and studied every step I saw that night, changing my relationship for the better. No walk is perfect, but learning from each other's walk with Jesus, sharpens us all to do better. My name is Damien Pomeroy, I was born in bountiful Utah but I was raised in southern California. I never did fit in anywhere as a kid or even as a young adult so when it came to hobbies or sports I couldn't connect with many people, in return this limited my circle of friends. But when Jesus found me He opened my eyes, I no longer needed to pretend to be anyone but me. Now Jesus calls me friend, and with Jesus giving me this revelation on seeking Him and living a holy life I was inspired to write this book.

The amazing experience Malina Marie had with Jesus. It takes place on a paradise island that was designed by Jesus. There was an entrance into the garden that Jesus called "The Fruit of the Spirits".
