This Chinese-English book gives an vivid and reasonable perspective on science and faith, from the personal viewpoint and life experiences of a highly respected and well-traveled physician-scientist with vast experience in Asian culture and its intersection with the West.

Millions of people have not actually met a follower of Jesus, nor understood this faith, the faith of one third of the world's population. But hundreds of thousands of such people are visiting America for studies, where they might meet people like "Uncle Reggie." He has been encouraging and helping such people for decades in the academic world. From his love for foreign students and scholars, and his extensive personal experience teaching them, he has written this book of personal stories and testimonies especially for them. Take this opportunity to acquire dozens of this bilingual (English and Chinese) book, "coffee with uncle Reggie," to give as valuable and instructive gifts to many teachable foreign students and scholars. Through meeting Jesus in personal stories, they can be challenged to seek for ultimate meaning in their own lives.

Those who are followers of Christ are supposed to sound the alarm to warn the people of pending danger. The purpose of this book is my awkward way of pointing out that the United States of America is on the road to destruction. The news is full of stories about "The Big Lie". But has any one stop to notice the signs of the time. This is not the first time a lie enslaved a nation. I have another book call "The Lie of Abram" that will explain the workings of a lie. This Book, "If The Truth Be Told" points out that the foundation of the Christian Religion is based on a lie. And that foundation is beginning to crumble. You can have the right stuff, but it still need to be put together right. The foundation of The Christian Religion is the Birth, Dealt and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the instruction book is the Bible. You have to read the instruction book if you want to do it right. This book is my response to all three. William Earl Parker is just a voice in the crowd somewhere on the sidelines. He is a Disciple of Christ who walks by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). William's colleagues refer to him as a free thinker because he rejects accepted opinions; especially those concerning religious beliefs. William is a heretic because he holds an opinion at odds with what is generally accepted by his religious order. The truth of the matter is William was formerly an ordained Preacher in the Missionary Baptist Church and an Elder in The Church of God in Christ.

This book was written to help readers to understand God, his son Jesus and the word of God better, and to show that there really is a creator who loves his creation and wants to establish a close relationship with those who want a relationship with him. He wants to help them, heal them, strengthen them, wants the best for them, and wants to transform them into his image. The other reason I wrote this book is to show readers that we are living in the last days, before Jesus returns for his Bride (children of God). I cannot stress how important it is to read and understand that we are living in the last days, and now is the time to establish or reestablish your relationship with Jesus now before The Day of the Lord comes.

Her book is filled with some of her favorite Bible scriptures that inspire and move her.

Before Jesus departed from the earth He left us with a promise that He would one day return and set up His kingdom on earth. For over two thousand years people have wondered and speculated about how and when this event will take place. Speculation and conjecture have muddied the water. Let us take a fresh look at Scripture. What did Jesus say concerning this event? What was His focus as He unfolded the revelation of coming events? What is Jesus message to the Church and how should we respond? Is the Church ready for Jesus return, are you ready? Jesus is knocking at the door of the Church today. Let us open the door and listen to what Jesus has to say to the Church today as we rapidly approach the time of His return. I was born in 1952 the second of five children, the son of Joel and Arlene Gunderson. I grew up in Northwestern Washington State and naturally acquired a love of the outdoors. My father was an Assembly of God minister and through his mentoring I developed a passionate love of the Scripture. Drafted into the army I spent the better part of two years in Germany. In 1980 I married Rachel Fifield and together we raised four children. I have worked as a carpenter, a logger, and a refinery operator, before retiring. My love of Scripture and my interests in nature, science, history, and technology have made me a lifetime learner. I have taught adult Sunday school for years gaining insights into the world around me through the lens of Scripture. In 2020 I authored the book, "Ceding the High Ground".

We are living in an unprecedented time. The global pandemic of 2020 has forced our nation into prolonged periods of isolation, social distancing, masking and extreme bouts of grief. Unfortunately, no one is exempt from grief and eventually it will affect each of us at some point or another. If we know this ahead of time, is there a way to prepare for it? I wholeheartedly believe the word of God, and our relationship with Jesus Christ can make all the difference in the world. Let me be clear, grieving the loss of a loved one should never be easy; however, it is necessary. Remember, grief allows each of us to empty ourselves of the deep sorrow and anguish we feel. When this doesn't happen, those prolonged feelings become overwhelming and toxic to our soul. We begin to look for relief in all the wrong places; through drugs, violence, sex, isolation, unhealthy relationships, and or any other destructive vices available. If this sounds familiar, help is available. Learn how to navigate through the grief process using the word of God as a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. (Psalms 119:105 KJV) In God's infinite wisdom, his word, has provided everything we need for life and Godliness. No longer do we have to allow the fear of losing someone we love, stagnate us or keep us from moving forward. There is a balm in Gilead. There is a word from the Lord for the wounded soul. Are you willing to apply it to your life? Let me warn you, frequent use of God's word can become addictive and cause side-effects. You can expect joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Periodically, before healing someone, Jesus would ask them, "Will thou be made whole (healed)"? (John 5:6) As much as I'd like to think we all would like to be healed, unfortunately, that's not the case. If you are tired of carrying the weight of grief and would like to be made whole, then open up this book and read it as many times as it takes to be free from it.

As a church and a business leader who has been personally affected by serious emotional and dissociative issues brought on by childhood traumas; I recognize the need for effective ministries inside the church that address its ever-increasing mental and emotional health concerns. This book was written to speak to the heart of the matter when it comes to mental and emotional health in the pulpit as well as in the pews. Apostle Michael Moses along with his wife of 28 years Pastor Elizabeth Moses currently serve as the Founders and Sr. Leaders of Empowerment City Church, ATL. in McDonough, Georgia. "The City" which it has been aptly named is an Apostolic ministry plant tasked with training and equipping God's people for the King and Priest ministry. The mission of Empowerment City Church is the same as Ephesians 4:11-16 "to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry" in whatever setting they are in. Our 20-year ministry focus has been to build bigger leaders, and bigger believers alike, not bigger buildings.AMMO Ministries InternationalP.O.

This book was written for Mormons whether new or lifelong members or Christians who want to know more about Mormonism or have friends that are Mormon. It will explain why the Book of Mormon could not have been engraved by Book of Mormon prophets and is in fact a fabrication of Joseph Smith. There is proof that Mormonism has many instances of false prophesy and there are biblical warnings about issues in the Mormon Church that are brought to light. The most important error in Mormonism is that Mormons believe they will become gods and goddesses if they live worthy lives. It is the phrase "you will be like God", that got Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden and how Lucifer was cast out of heaven. There is much more included in the book that will support my assertion that the Mormon Church is not the one and only true church as they claim it is, but rather a counterfeit Christian church. Today, Mormons claim that they are Christian. However, they preach a different gospel and worship a different Jesus. Satan, using Joseph Smith, created a near perfect counterfeit church of Truth mixed with subtle lies. It is insidious and has deceived many. When Truth is confronted by Error, Error questions the authority of Truth. I would encourage you to read the whole book and then draw your own conclusions. Finally and most importantly, the Mormon belief of becoming gods and goddess is not only false, but is also arrogant and very offensive to God. That's what Satan used in the garden to deceive Eve. In Genesia 2:5 he said, "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. In Isaiah 14: 13-14, Lucifer (Satan) said in the 5 "I wills", For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. God does not share his glory with anyone else and He has proclaimed that he is the one and only God, there are none besides Him. For these and additional reasons identified in the book, the Mormon Church is flawed.

A look at the book of Revelation that will bring understanding of a difficult book. Written by a Lady who was inspired by the Lord to write this so we would have understanding of what is to come. Jesus is coming back, and the Church needs to be ready. This book will help you understand what is coming so you can be ready. The rapture will come for the Bride and the Bride must be clothed in white. Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness does not appear. God led me to write an in-depth study of the Book of Revelation As a result, the Lord wrote, using my hand, my first book "The Message from the Two-Edged Sword". Now, the Lord has led me to write another book on the Book of Revelation. Every book I have encountered about Revelation, is full of dry information, and details that cause the average reader to lose interest before they get very far in the book. I believe that we are getting remarkably close to the end of times prophesy foretold in the Book of Revelation.

This book is more of a learning process. It tells you all about the God that I serve! After going through and experiencing things in life. It made me the person that I am today.

Sitting in church one day, hearing my pastor preach, about out of order. This touched me in a mighty way. So when I got home, I was looking for paper. I was determined to write. God is my inspiration.

Jesus Christ built a Church on earth. Matthew 16:17-19. The question is, Where is it? Is it a "New Religion"? Is it a beautiful edifice? It is worthwhile to seek the answer. Join us in our quest to find, THE CHURCH THAT JESUS FOUNDED. Many practically seek the TRUTH in the wrong places and arrive at an erroneous conclusion. The whole earth is too small for GOD to hide, how much less, in buildings, and organizations. This is what wise King Solomon said, "But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!" 2 Chronicles 6:18 Seekers are drawn by God to seek HIM. Anything else is mere playing games. This book, with lots of prayers and a diligent search of the Holy Scriptures, will endeavor to alleviate some of the issues confronting seekers. Dr. Samuel Ajayi was born in Nigeria on February 18, 1957. He moved to the United States of America in 1981. He was ordained as a Minister in 199998. He received a Doctorate in Theology from Sacramento Theological Seminary and Bible College in 2004. He has served in various ministerial capacities in Churches and outreach ministries. This book was originally written and published in Nigeria in 2016, where he was faced with many erroneous views about the "CHURCH" in general. TRUTH is the foundation of the Church. Without a Biblical knowledge of the TRUH, the church becomes vague, irrelevant, and meaningless. Passion for the TRUTH is the basis of the ministry of Dr. Samuel Ajayi. Without TRUTH, there is no other WAY to ETERNAL LIFE with GOD. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

This fast-paced novel is uniquely fascinating. Much of it is true. For instance, the breakthrough technology that allows hydrogen power to be used efficiently for electrical and motive power was developed over twenty-five years ago. The destruction of the hydrogen plant and the creation of a hydrogen power submarine is also true. So are the "Men In Black" episodes. And so are many of the tales and adventures of Cal, the main character. Some of the events in this novel are partially true. That includes the adventures related to the L-100-30 heavy lift aircraft and the cellular telephone company. Much of those tales actually took place as described, but the endings of their stories are fiction. All these episodes are woven into the fabric of a story that progresses from the real to an imagined future that reflects their implications. All the events that take place in the future are obviously fiction. But they are based upon actual information, events and trends that are real. That is why they are realistic. They point toward a foreboding and scary future that is all too possible. The author, Dr. Larry D. Pate, has traveled to and worked in 69 countries on six continents. During that time, he learned things about the powerful people whose names are woven into this novel as a result of his personal experiences. Descriptions about them are true. His experiences in dealing with them reveal things "he never wanted to know". But you should know them. The things he reveals in this book are impacting your life already. The author believes they will eventually impact the lives of virtually everyone on earth! The hopeful ending of this story is in no way guaranteed.
