I was Born and raised in San Diego California, joined the U.S. Army from 1972 to 1976, got married and bought our first home in 1977. I had numerous sales jobs. I loved talking to people and enjoyed helping everyone figure out what they really wanted out of life. I became a Certified Nurses Aid for over a year, then a Licensed Psychiatric Technician for over three years before becoming a Correctional Officer promoted up the ranks from Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant and finally retiring as a Correctional Counselor II for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2008. I taught many subjects within the Department, focusing on communication, fair treatment, and lifestyle improvement. I began seriously studying the bible and its value, not only to us all in a religious sense, but also in its value as an everyday inspirational guideline for positive growth in every aspect of our lives. Jesus has brought me many rewards and has answered many of my prayers. Once I give my prayers to Jesus, He gives me, sometimes within hours, or days or weeks, answers that are easy to recognize. And sometimes I have waited months before I get an answer. Patience is the key, along with the peace of mind. I enjoy jogging, bicycling, playing soccer, hiking and camping. I started digging deeply into Revelation so I could understand the book better myself. After three years of intense study and research, I felt I had to share my understanding with as many people as possible. This book and my daily sharing the word will help me do this for you. If you have questions or comments, biblecentisis@yahoo.com is where you can contact me. God bless you. Amen

Sometimes we date the potential of a person, and overlook the reality of who they are. That's why I call this book "Dating Potential". We enter into and often remain in relationships hoping the other person will grow or change. That's where the mistake lies. We place the weight of our decision to be with them on hope. Hope that they will one day become the person we imagine they can be. I realized that imaginary person is typically who we actually enter into a relationship with. Meet "Potential". This book offers some realistic guidelines, though not exhaustive, of what to consider when you enter relationships prior to marriage. Reading this also affords each one of us to take an introspective look at ourselves to evaluate whether or not we are doing the very things we are expecting or desire in our future spouse. Are we energy in motion or are we Potential? Selah has a strong passion for sharing the gospel.

In 1958, I found myself pregnant and unmarried. I was living in England. The father of the child was not Catholic, but wanted to marry me. He was studying to be a CPA, young and immature, terrified of his parents finding out, and moneyless. I did not see marriage as a solution to a problem. As a teacher I would have been dismissed for unprofessional behavior. John's friends suggested that he just walk away as there was no way of proving paternity. One afternoon he took me to see a doctor who would give advice. It did not take long for me to realize that I was in an abortion office. I fled from the evil scene, past John and never saw him again. I emigrated to Montreal, Canada where my brother was living and moved in to live with his fiancé. I planned with the Catholic Crusade of Rescue to have my baby adopted. I swore that I would never attempt to reclaim him. Born and raised in a Catholic family, attending Catholic boarding school for seven years, then Catholic Women's college the idea of abortion was firmly entrenched as murder. When I found myself pregnant, I felt that I had no choice but to leave my country and emigrate to Canada. I eventually married a Catholic man, had five children, and became a very successful college professor. When the adoption laws were changed in Canada, I attempted to find my son but received no help from the Catholic adoption society. Several years later, my brother located him over the internet. We were re-united very happily when he was forty-seven. The secret was out, and all my friends rejoiced with me.

Patti Roberts- married homeschooling mother of seven with growing number of grandbabies. "Mara-lee has given us a tremendous gift. Christians throughout history have systematically taught the faith to their children. This practice of systematic training in a catechism has become largely neglected by the Church in the last generation. Mara-lee's hope is to bridge the gap between the old ways of training our kids up in solid doctrine, allowing them to wrestle with the deep things of God, and modern children's story telling. I hope many find her work to be a blessing to the spiritual life of their children and a warm treasure in their home during the intimate times as the family gathers."

This delightful book will be a great tool for opening up discussions both at home and in the classroom." Donna Lapp- married mother of 3, grandmother of 13 and great grandmother of 10. She is also a retired elementary grade school teacher.

What is the true theme of the Bible? Though there are many possible answers, the overarching message we read is one of authority, for the authority of God stands above everything else. God is sovereign; He alone has the ultimate authority, and none are above him. So, how do we make sense of this theme? How do we construct the larger picture to recognize this authority? KINGDOM AUTHORITY: Understanding the Bible through Authority As Children of Light in the Kingdom of Darkness by Pastor Tracy Benningfield is all about understanding the Bible through the lens of Kingdom Authority. Pastor Tracy shows readers how authority is the true center point of scripture and that by understanding how authority works, we can better perceive who we are in Christ, the victory we have in Christ, and the authority found in being a believer. The consequences of separating from Him and the fall of man to sin are also crucial in comprehending God's sovereign authority. Understanding the Bible scripture by scripture is like putting together a puzzle; once you construct the framework, it becomes easy to connect the pieces and understand how it all fits together. Once you've put it together for the first time and seen the larger picture, you can make sense of the whole puzzle discovering the place for each piece. Join Pastor Tracy in putting the pieces together and discovering how to emerge from the darkness to become a child of light.

God never stops directing us to Him. We choose which direction we'll take. My struggles as a divorcee didn't stop at being hurt emotionally. My children needed care and healing. I had to start at zero where my finances were concerned. Spiritually, I remained faithful for a season, but the weight and fatigue of responsibilities clouded my vision of God. Even when I thought God couldn't or wouldn't love me anymore, He remained faithful. His love drew me to Him. His Word revealed all the lies of Satan that I believed and the self-condemnation that came from those lies. I am a dear child of God. His Divine Providence guides and sustains me. As I continue to trust Him, His Spirit helps me to be more Christ-like each day. That means victory in my struggles and a place in the body of Christ designated by God Himself. Originally from Denver, CO, I currently reside in Wheat Ridge, CO. I am retired with five children and fifteen grandchildren. I love music, drawing, crafting, writing in my spare time and spending time with family and friends. "Divorced and in the Church" came from my realization of the many divorced women in the Church with the same or similar struggles and conflicts as my own and my desire to help them remain strong in their faith.

America's rapidly shifting demographics are shredding the underlying assumptions that shaped many of today's evangelical organizations. God is giving white evangelicals a once-in-a generation opportunity to release their iron grip on the tables of leadership in favor of a new, far more complex generation of leaders drawn from the myriad of cultures increasingly populating the United States. But as Saul gave David his armor to fight Goliath and it didn't fit, so white evangelicals are giving new leaders old tools and they're telling us it doesn't fit! Are we open to pursue a pristine vision together with our brothers and sisters who once stood outside our organizations? Our choice will go far in determining the role of white evangelicals in a non-white America. Rev.

This book uses some experiences with dogs to meditate on some challenges that relate to our pursuit of God. None of the analogies in this devotional are meant to be perfect Scriptural parallels.

The author is a lay person who hopes that stories about his dogs will challenge us all to pursue Christ with more passion.
