Change, comes from deed within, it comes from a made up mind. Focus, alone with a plan and goals. If you plan to change don't just say it, do something about it. This book, isn't for everyone, it's to those that are lost, without direction or instruments for their lives. - Pain isn't torment, pain is experience. - Pain is wisdom and knowledge. - Pain is strength. No, you don't like pain but you experience pain, to bring you to your expectation, to bring you to your best self. If you never experience pain, you will never know your character. What it is to love, to live or to grow. It is pain that you are birth into, to bring you to the beauty of living. If you fight the pain you will never understand your place in life. If you embrace the pain you will find the strength to live and to move forward through faith.

We all want our destiny, but very few of us want to do the work to reach our Destiny. God has a unique plan for all our lives and we were placed here to carry out that mission. What's your purpose? What's your assignment for the Kingdom? God has given us all the power to discover our purpose if we first seek him, his word, his will and his way. To experience God's best, you have to give God your best daily. Your perspective only changes as you grow in faith and as your perspective changes so will your situation. Fear will limit your life and keep you from reaching your destiny if you don't change your perspective. When we allow God's word to guide our thoughts and beliefs, our world changes drastically. We through uncertainty do we reach our destiny.

I was excited to contribute to the world knowing this would be the type of book men and women, young or adult could relate to and gain the knowledge that they are not alone. To know that they were not the only ones who have been sexual assaulted or raped. It all started when her dad retired from the police force and moved to a small village outside of Accra, Ghana. As a kid who didn't know any better it was there where she was raped by a church priest, strangers, friends and even family members. She believed the whole world was against her. She became homeless when her sister and her husband kicked her out the house. She survived by having faith, hope, and believing in the only person who she could rely on was God. Even back then she knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

The years climbed up every ladder to accomplish toward the next job, since I accepted its limits, until I couldn't be persuaded against the career in law enforcement. I was perfectly suited in the State Prison System, but I knew more than its pay. Imprisonment was on both sides of the wall and I jumped in with both feet. I grew desperate for more! I was aging, facing the final years, but I couldn't have known what was already planned. DOC's tenure dangled its carrot to strive forward retirement, as if the sentence was over, and I found freedom.

Beth, a mid-Westerner, marries a charming, intelligent Englishman in 1960, a time when life in America was simpler. She gradually learns that her husband, Will, is a complicated, secretive person. After fifty-seven years of marriage, she realizes that she didn't really know him. After his death, she discovers more than she wants to know about the real Will. Quotes from Beth's story "Will liked to talk about himself, and within the next two weeks, I learned everything about him that he wanted me to know." "I sat watching, anticipating Will's dance with me. In my memory, I am still waiting there." "Will was never too ill to charm the nurses." "As the wife of an Englishman, it was my duty to keep a stiff upper lip." "God had twice given me life - when I was born and when I was allowed to return to raise Dora." Editor's General Overview "I Didn't Really Know Him" is a fascinating look at what can go on in a family behind closed doors; but ultimately, it is a testament to how a woman maintained her dignity and strength in very trying situations, and that the Lord provided love for her in different ways."

Leading youth to become effective servants of Christ through the local church is an essential--and daunting --task in today's culture. Although it is tempting to provide young people with attractional events and programs, there is a better way, a biblical way!

When simple and practical steps are taken with youth at this level, parents and youth workers are able to work together without being overloaded, the youth ministry will grow and the youth will seek to attain the next stages of growth as mature Christian leaders who effectively pass the Faith on to the generation that follows them. This book helps you apply biblical principles to practical programming that will lead your youth ministry to fulfill the Great Commission.

This "Story of Rich Man and Lazarus: Hell and Heaven Described in Their Own Words" book is about the lives of a rich man and a homeless man and what happened to them in eternity after their respective deaths. This first-person account is based on "a certain rich man" and "a certain beggar named Lazarus" story, which Jesus Christ shared with His disciples in the Holy Bible's Gospel of Luke (16:19-31). In Chapter 1, I describe how the rich man, "A Certain Rich Man," dressed, what he owned, who he socialized with, where he socialized, how he recreated, where he recreated, how his life was centered around himself, his sins, how he rejected the LORD and how he died. In Chapter 2, I describe how Lazarus, "A Certain Homeless Man," dressed, how he survived as a homeless man on the street, his poor choices, how a miraculous incident which caused Lazarus to finally rededicate his life to Jesus Christ and how he died. In Chapter 3, I describe what the "Tormented Sinner" saw, what he feels/experiences in hell and the unspeakable agonies he suffers there, such as being separated from God's presence. In Chapter 4, I describe what the "Comforted Saint" saw, what he feels/experiences in Heaven and the indescribable peace he experiences there, such as being warmed by God's presence. This book is a story sharing with readers where not to go (hell) after death, where to go (Heaven) after dying, and how to get there (salvation through Jesus Christ).

We live in a day when the boundary lines of right and wrong are not clear. We are pressured to be politically correct. Values about faith and morality are on trial. Marriage is being redefined and (God) is whatever you make him to be. Poems of Conviction will take you on a journey in your own heart, and ask you to re-evaluate, "What do you believe?" As you take this journey with the author, his hope is not so much to change your mind, but rather, that you will allow God to speak to your heart. He wants the reader to reflect on their relationship with God, others, and the intents of the human heart. Bruce often refers to the great change the Lord has made in his life. Each poem is juxtaposed with a short commentary and artwork which further expresses the inspiration behind them. Readers will walk away from Poems of Conviction feeling refreshed and contemplative with the opportunity to consider how the themes discussed are manifested in their own lives. Straight2theHeart.net

I am a survivor. In seven decades of life, I have survived childhood, war, divorce, bankruptcy, and the deaths of those closest to me. I have survived broken friendships and betrayals. I have survived things that I am now amazed I survived. Still, I rejoice. I rejoice and exult the precious gift of the life given to me. It is with humble gratitude that I share the story of my gift, a life given to me by Jesus Christ. We are all the products of our life experiences, our backgrounds, our parents, and our ideas. These elements shape who we are, and how we think and behave. They shape our particular lives. Surviving these experiences, and many of us do not, we learn life lessons. One of the hardest lessons I have learned is the importance of letting go. Whether it is letting go of guilt, anger, love, or betrayal, letting go is never easy. This is the story of my life's journey. I am now past my seventh year, my hair now is gray. Sometimes my hip aches after a long day on the hilltop, but each day now is better and more blessed than the last. Each day, I am more filled than ever with Christ's love. After the trials and struggles of my life for seven decades, the Lord has blessed me with a heart full of love. It is humbling to be so blessed. I understand that my blessings are the result of the suffering Christ endured for me.

Have you ever wanted something so bad that it hurt? It fills your dreams. It makes you wish on stars and it's all you can think about. How in the world can a poor little girl with only a rope and ten dollars even think she can buy the horse of her dreams? It can only happen with faith, determination, and a plan that only God knows about.

God is the ultimate creator. His hand can be seen everywhere. Many people, especially today in our non-stop world, search for God frantically and anywhere, yet do not realize that He is all around us. We lose Him in the busyness, in the crowds, in the media, in the distractions, and even in the faces of others created in His image. Everything we see in our natural world that delights and inspires comes from the same source: God. He in the nature that surrounds us. He is in the people who walk by us every day. He is everywhere--we need only look. Through his book, author Damian L. Boyd helps to open our eyes to see God in everything and how we worship Him by recognizing that beauty. He is beauty incarnate, and so all things that come from Him are beautiful. When we get small moments of recognition of His presence around us, we are drawn back to the pursuit that first caught our eye. The more we see the Lord, the more we want Him! This is a worship book without using the obvious tool, music, for worship. We have come to depend on music heavily in our twenty-first century world. Instead, we can worship the Lord by noticing and appreciating the beauty He has instilled in the world. Do not let society's conditioning diminish your knowledge of the Lord and His wonderous creations. Do not let society's standard of beauty ruin your ability to see the amazing originality that comes from the flaws of another. Remember, we are all created in the Lord's perfect image. Learn to see the beauty in brokenness. Discover how to recognize the good in evil. Dive in and gain the perspective to see God in everything. He is around us and with us always.

What thirty-year-old still rides a bicycle with training wheels or plays with dolls? It's unthinkable! And yet -- it's sad to say -- too many Christians hold onto childish spiritual habits, failing to experience the fullness of life as mature followers of Christ. As we grow up, we put away childish ways. We encounter greater risks, responsibilities, joys, challenges, and thrills. All of that is a natural part of life. Boys and girls mature through adolescence, becoming responsible adults. In Spiritual Growth Matters!, Pastor Paul Sheppard reveals God's amazing, joy-filled plan for spiritual growth. When Jesus said, "You must be born again," He didn't intend to fill His church with spiritual babies. Instead, God destined His children to grow in faith, discover purpose, and live out their high calling as mature men and women of faith. Walk into the fullness of your destiny. Experience more peace, joy, and love than you ever thought possible, by growing in intimacy with God. Paul Earl Sheppard is senior pastor of Destiny Christian Fellowship in Fremont, CA. He serves as speaker for the radio and online broadcast Destined For Victory. He's an author whose books include Rebuilding What the Enemy Almost Destroyed, Why God Created Dads, and Build a Bridge and Get Over It. He and his wife, Meredith, were married in 1982. They are the proud parents of two adult children who work alongside them in ministry, Alicia Greer and Aaron Sheppard.
