In following his responsibility to reach Rome Apostle Paul's life and limb were adversely challenged many times. These sought to defeat his God given task. However, his missionary journeys were successful in effort and content. Evidence of this are the miracles he performed and the people he touched with the word of God. Also he reached his ultimate goal of arriving in Rome. These victories are well chronicled in the several letters he wrote and are positioned as Scripture in the Bible. Paul wrote these to individuals and churches. Paul never wavered from the commitment he sealed with God on the road to Damascus. His letters chronicle the power points of God that continually activated Paul's reaching his next place of ministry. His hope is that all who hear of his victories "might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains." (Acts 24:29 NKJV)The power points and activations identified in Paul's life and chronicled in this book will empower your Spiritual walk. These should assist in bringing you to your destiny with Holy Spirit. Because of his experiences in ministry Paul reminds us, "You have need of endurance!"(Hebrews 10:37 NKJV) I remind you, everyone has a Rome on their horizon! Selah.

Tempted is the story of an all-too familiar scenario: sexual temptation. Sweet little Katie, role model Christian of her youth group, has a beautiful trait about her in that she sees people for who they are inside of them. This gift knocks her off her feet when she looks into the eyes of a common, often overlooked guy in her school and sees the surprising young man hiding inside. Not only does he snag at her heart strings, but he also stirs up physical feelings stronger than she could have imagined. Katie has boldly preached sexual abstinence to everyone who knows her, determined to be one of the few to walk the narrow road and remain pure until her wedding night. As bad as she wants to keep this vow, her physical feelings for Tyler torment her day and night. What doesn't help the situation is that Katie's best friend Sydney is promiscuous and encourages her innocent friend to "just live a little." Will Katie's faith prove strong enough to resist temptation, even if it costs her relationships? Will Tyler, basking in the unexpected attention, respect Katie's beliefs or push her as far as he can? How long can Sydney straddle the fence of living two lives; the girl pretending to be a Christian and her defiant wild side?

KING JAMES VERSION NEW TESTAMENT "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus Christ, Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name" -John 20:31

Once upon a time in a small village called Navajo, located somewhere in Africa . . . A faraway land. A precious object stolen from a king by a mysterious thief. The quest of a young boy with a destiny greater than any he dares to dream. As brave young Eli follows a strange butterfly into the jungle, across plains and hills, along dry creek beds and deep, sluggish rivers, he is aided in his search by a number of other unconventional, and unforgettable, jungle characters. A charming fable about trust, faith, friends, and determination.

One of the age-old questions that silently seep through the tiny, dark crevices of most people's mind is: What is my purpose? Many individuals believe their occupation is synonymous with their purpose--their life's mission. Most are satisfied with this belief until they wake up one day questioning their very existence and find themselves on long rides to nowhere as they try to determine why they were created. You'd be surprised to know how many people wonder why they even entered this world in the first place. Wondering is to put it mildly, but more like obsessing over it. Sometimes it is a dead-end job, no real, meaningful connections or relationships, and no knowledge of purpose that lead folks to believe they have no other reason to be on Earth other than to take up space. They feel that if they disappeared tomorrow, they would easily be replaced by another. It is unfortunate, but it is because they have yet to realize just how meaningful their life is! Sam Richardson was born and raised in Prichard, Alabama. At the age of 18, Richardson was called into ministry through a spiritual experience. God commanded Richardson to teach and preach his Word, proclaiming the Gospel to the lost and vulnerable. It was through his spiritual calling, birthed the confirmation not only to discover purpose but to live on purpose. For Richardson, the journey of purpose was about pursuing his passion, discovering who he was and what God called him to do. After years of highs and lows, tragedies and victories, Richardson decided to write the book Live on Purpose.

Crystal Clear is about the life of a common woman, Christa Battles, who has had life challenges to attack her just as many of us have in our lifetime.

Loss of her innocence to drugs, sex, the death of her father, son, husband and mother. Christa became an addict, teen mother and widow, all by her early-thirties. Life was on a downward spiral.

Christa is a dedicated mother to her three surviving children, remarried to her God-sent husband and a faithful member to her church and community. She was once broken, by God's presence in her life, today she is repaired.

God changed my mind He changed my heart He changed my life through the blood of Jesus Christ The Trinity wrote my book

"A Look at Romans Chapter 7" attempts to bring out in plain common language what is the difference between the Law and the Gospel, both of which are found in the Bible. The language that the Apostle Paul uses in the text of Romans chp. 7 clearly shows that there is some conflict going on between those two elements of Law and Gospel in Paul's life. How does this relate to us who are believers in Christ? This book tries to give some answers to what seemingly might be considered to be a dilemma in a Christian's life. This work also is about "growing up" in the Lord. Simply put, every believer is called to maturity in Christ, as opposed to remaining in the infant stage of when they first came into the faith. Some practical tools are given for how we can accomplish that task. These are the basics of our Christian beliefs. In the end, it is the "essence of the gospel message". (I Peter 2:16) About The Author A native New Yorker, and retired police officer, Ed Steele is not a theologian nor an ordained minister of any particular denomination of the Christian Church. He is simply a guy who wants to share the gospel message of Jesus Christ. This book, "A Look at Romans - Chp.7", is Ed's second published work. It talks to the subject of looking at the law in its right perspective and how it relates to the gospel. Ed shows how the Apostle Paul points us to Jesus as the only way out of the dilemma of sin - something that the law could not do. Just as in his first published work - "The Sin System of Our World" - Ed brings us to a similar conclusion in this present work, and that is, without Christ, we are all lost; with Christ, we are saved to a new life. Ed hopes you, the reader, will see the essence of the gospel message portrayed in this book in a way that perhaps you may never have thought of before.

Bob Barrett, author of Steadfast! Faithful Living in an Uncertain World, is back with his new book Awestruck! How Great Is Your God? We all love God and know He is great, but, as we reflect on our relationship with Him, we must consider how deeply we believe in and trust Him. We must each ask ourselves, "How great is my God?" Author Bob Barrett takes the time to dig into this question and dive into the power of God in his verse-by-verse breakdown of Psalm 111, Awestruck! How Great Is Your God? As we read Psalm 111, we can see how the psalmist explores the mighty works of God and leads us to a place of praise and worship. Together, we will explore the awesomeness of God as He reveals Himself through His works on behalf of His people. Learn of His righteousness, His grace, His compassion, His provision, and His love. Psalm 111 reveals to us the Lord's faithfulness, His trustworthiness, and His redemption for His children. As we are learning more about God's greatness and what He does for us, we must each evaluate again what we think of Him, and how that influences how we live. What can we trust Him to do? How do we feel toward Him? How close is our relationship with God? And finally, we must again ask ourselves, "How great is my God?" "Bob's newest book is a breathtaking handling of a short chapter from the book of Psalms extolling the grandeur and glory of our great God. I've known Bob for almost three decades, and he lives what he writes, authentic and gracious. I hope it will inspire and encourage you as much as it did me." Stan Coleman, Lead Pastor--West Cobb Church, Marietta, GA

My name is Richard Espinoza. I was born in San Antonio, Tx in 1964. I grew up as a artist as a child, i've always had that gift. Growing up I always drew provocative and satanic pictures, until one day I was invited to church and I walked in and became physically blind. I heard the voice of Lord say "Serve me or die". When i chose to serve him my eyes were open and the first thing I saw was the alter and I was repenting to the lord. That same night the Lord delivered me from 10 different addictions. As I continued to stay in church faithfully the Lord began to show me visions of art, so I began to draw these pictures. Every time I praise and worship Him or go out places he shows me another picture to draw. Once I'm finished with the picture, he then gives me the Scripture that goes with it. But, it wasn't until the beginning of 2019 that the Lord told me to put his drawings together in a coloring book to present His art to the world. He then spoke to me and told me to seek to get the book published.

For generations, church leaders and believers have focused on the stories from the Bible but have overlooked the core story of the Bible. The Bible is about the transfer of power, authority, influence, dominion and control of the government or kingdoms of the world. Accordingly, practically every time Jesus opened His mouth, He spoke about one topic; The Kingdom of God/Heaven. In Luke 4:43, Jesus said He was sent to the Earth to preach the Kingdom of God. In Luke 16:16, He advised that the arrival of John the Baptist resulted in a shift in the message that should be preached to the Kingdom of God. This book provides a clear revelation of who Jesus was, why He came to planet Earth, and why His life and ministry were strictly kingdom focused. Jesus instructs us to seek first the Kingdom of God, and to pray first, "Thy Kingdom come" ... why?

The reason why I Charles Young, am writing this book is for all people to see that God is not grievous. As it states in 1 John Ch. 5 Ver. 3 and also that the Bible is a fascinating book to read and to understand things that they might not understand out of the bible, that I do and also that they can love the word of God and not hate it and to love the truth. For years I have been inspired by the Bible and that is one of the reasons why I put this book together. It is important to me that I show my inspiration in writing, most of which people will read in this book is from my own understand of the scriptures. I think the true believers will understand where my inspiration truly comes from and I think this book will help them understand the scriptures more.

If you had a machine that could send you into the past, what would be your destination? Three brothers with such a machine set off on a voyage into the fourth dimension.

In our lives we're faced with many struggles and hardships, some that we overcome very easily and others that may cause us to buckle. Throughout my life I have also faced my share of struggles. Some that made me wanted to take my life and end the race. But it wasn't until I had an encounter with Jesus Christ, that I found the key to go through life's struggles with peace of mind and overcome. I am able to go through because I now understand based upon the word of God that I will come through. You don't have to continue to go through the struggles of life on your own, Jesus has promised us he will never leave us neither forsake us, and may I tell you that this is true. Jesus Christ will reveal Himself to you in such a way that will cause You to desire him more, however you can never fully experience Jesus Christ by standing on the sidelines, because you will not understand how He operates or the principles He's governed by. As the Bible tells us, "A natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" 1 Cor 2:14. So get on board by totally surrendering your life to Jesus Christ today, and see Him deliver and set you free, giving you the victory to overcome those things that befall you.

John 14:12-14 NIV 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. With this passage I invite you to enter the world of the Migdal. There is a sign, at the entrance of the path to the Migdal; it simply reads "What If?" Join T-Ray in his journey to the Migdal! It all starts at the beginning. The words of Jesus challenge us "whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father", what if the things we see today do not scratch the surface of what we could do? Again, I ask, can we? What if you didn't believe and still were able to do the things Jesus did, and greater?

Why do bad things always seem to happen to me? How do I find direction in my life? Why do I seem to struggle with relationships? How do I discover my true gifts?
