Every day in America we wake up to a frivolous lawsuit, a ridiculous ruling by the courts, or an outrageous struggle in our cities and communities. We scratch our heads with disbelief, wondering how we arrived at such nonsense. What has happened to common sense? How did we get here? Is it possible for our nation to survive this onslaught of cultural change? This book examines some of the most recent topics that have rocked this nation. Most are the result of a lack of thinking. The only way to survive the chaos and confusion we face is to get back to reasoning-not lawyers, politicians, psychologists, scientists, nor other professionals who may lure us into a false trust. Only truth can deliver us from practical ignorance. If you are displeased with the direction of this nation and sincerely want to see change, it must start with individuals who make a concerted effort to think. This book challenges minds to confront the unTHINKable!

Due to a lack of use time has its way of covering past learning experiences especially in the field of Spiritual lore. A determined attitude to serve the Lord requires a disciplined mind to guard what has been learned in the past for use in the present. Living in a carnal world yet being motivated by a Spiritual mind requires constant renewals to refresh you in their cause. This book serves that purpose. Its content must be viewed with personal determination to rise above and go beyond past failures seeking to sidetrack a Spiritual traveler. These areas of renewal are listed on the front cover Scroll giving emphasis to the eternal truth that their antiquity is as fresh today as in their beginning. Selah!

The conflict-laced, exciting conclusion to the first book of the two-part series! Akelo's life swirls into out of control emotions which draw him further and further from who he wants to be. His determination to be master of his own fate leads him to an upstream swim in his life's eddies and currents. Violence erupts, sacrifices will be made but it's not so easy when the sacrifices must be made by people you care about. Love is simple but not easy. How much of his trouble is a part of God's plan and how much is simply a consequence of his own actions? The reality of the world's view falls into conflict with the very truths Akelo holds in highest esteem. Akelo's Christian walk hangs in the very balance of each decision to hold onto his past or to embrace an unknown future. Isaiah 64:8 proclaims that we are all the work of God's hands, in the present tense. If there is nothing else taken, we can be encouraged that God has a plan and part of that plan is to shape us into a better version of ourselves; if we are willing to commit to our own growth. Through faith we overcome anguish and all of our life's sorrow. We were made to be unique; yesterday, today and tomorrow. Though it be a process which seeks to obtain a high degree. And therefore I so look forward to meeting the truest, highest form of me. By JAPOC - Just Another Piece Of Clay

Scientists know history and scientific facts. Religious people know history and spiritual experiences. Both are right. Many scientists reject God and in their failure to be able to explain evolution from its beginning, have theorized many unproven scientific theories. Most religionists reject evolution and refute God's use of mutations and survival of the fittest to adapt to ever-changing environments. Both are wrong. This book is an effort to expose the truth and bring scientists and religionists together as loving brothers and sisters, as God intended when He created the material universe.

A person doesn't have to be behind bars to feel imprisoned; from Theresa Gilliam's perspective, it can occur within a relationship to an abusive, narcissistic man. She shares her story of survival in her new autobiography, Bring My Soul Out of Prison, where Theresa describes thirty years of regular abuse, both physical and verbal, from a self-proclaimed prophet who had unleashed the same treatment to his five children (two with Theresa). Born and raised among the swamps of Louisiana, Theresa had already experienced heartache due to living in a broken home, dealing with a mentally-ill mom, and having been sexually abused by others. Her "soul prison" expanded when she met and married John, who continued to make her feel worthless. Theresa believed she was created in the image of God, but it wasn't until God brought healing from her abuse that Theresa finally felt the soul prison was releasing her.

The earthly life of your loved one has ended, make the life that you have left a testament to the one who has passed. Take care and God bless you.
After 32 years of pastoring I have concluded that the body of Christ and the people of God are victims of the words they speak out of their mouth. The bible profoundly declares in Proverbs 18:21 that death and life is in the power of the tongue. There is a direct relationship between accessing God's promises, provisions and blessing and the words we speak out of our mouth.N. Jordan Mkwanazi has been the Senior Pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church in Austin, TX for over 13 years. He is a tenured pastor with over 32 years of pastoral experience. He is a graduate of Paul Quinn College (Previously located in Waco, TX) and Baylor University in Waco, TX. Pastor Mkwanazi was born and raised in Zimbabwe, Africa and has lived in the United States of America his entire adult life.

It is refreshing to read God's very words describing the amazing events that will transpire before His coming and the end of the world. Those same prophets who accurately told us our Creator would take human form and die and rise again, here also tell us clearly that He is coming again to reign with those who repent of evil and trust in His mercy. The author chooses the passages of Bible prophecy that go to the heart of the matter. Here is offered what God himself says. It is foolishness to think that the Almighty does not have a plan, an irreparable mistake to think that He will not fulfill it, and that it does not include you and me. Parker Gamwell has been reading the scriptures daily for almost 90 years with a deep motivation to know exactly what God is saying. He believes that a proper understanding is vital to one's eternal welfare, and realizes that the time God gives us to know Him is of eternal value. Here Mr. Gamwell deals with the aspects of what God teaches us that not only reveal events that tell of the time of His coming, but assure a sinner of how he can be pardoned and prepared to meet God. Here he shares with the reader some of God's very words dealing with God's coming to judge the world in righteousness.

People are searching for meaning and purpose in life. They experiment with many different ways to find it, most of them secular in nature. This book was born out my own experience as an educator, business person, and pastor. It is a reminder that God continues to invite His people, "seek first the Kingdom of God", relax in His Power, and allow God to transform them into the persons He wants them to be.
