I am mother to six children (five boys and one girl), thirteen grandchildren and a couple great-grandkids, also, a professional cake decorator, a Sunday school teacher and now a first time author. I believe God gave this story to me to do great things in his name. One night while lying in bed I was reading my bible and this story just came to me! I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote the entire story sitting in bed. This process and book is a blessing and I hope it is too you as well. We look forward to seeing you and some new garden friends soon. Thank you and I pray that God blesses you and your children. Rita Robertson

Dr. Pildo Joung's book is a gift to Christ's Church. Dr. Joung recounts more than six decades of ministry in his family, local church, and global outreach, from his conversion to his call to ministry to the lessons God has taught him over the years. The principles he raises (faith, humility, prayer, and more) are biblically- grounded, effective, cross-culturally relevant, and convicting. Pastors, missionaries, church-planters, and missionally- minded disciples of Jesus will benefit deeply from reading and reflecting on this book. The focus is squarely where it ought to be: our triune God himself and our reliance upon and trusting obedience of Him. Written in an accessibly readable narrative style, yet with profound insight and the wisdom of more than a half-century of experience in following Jesus and serving His people, Dr. Joung's book is a wonderful compendium of lessons drawn from the laboratory of life, tested by the Scriptures, and attested to by the Spirit's work in and through a life consecrated to the Lord. It will refresh, challenge, and encourage the reader to walk with God and witness God's power in building His Church. The Rev. Samuel H. Larsen, D.Min., Ph.D. Chancellor, Global Reformed Seminary Professor Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary Dr. Pildo Joung is the founder and Pastor Emeritus of Sooyoungro Church, one of the most influential gospel-based churches in Korea.

Dr. Joung has been serving faithfully for over fifty years as a pastor for Sooyoungro Church and ministering to many churches in the world. His writings have now been translated into more than 15 languages, serving as catalysts to awaken church leaders worldwide.

It was just an innocent climb up Mount Yohah in North Georgia; one Charles Huyck had never attempted before, having no climbing expertise. Before Charles realized it, he was stranded on a ledge and calling out to God for help. What he encountered, as a response from God, led him to quite the mountaintop experience and the main thrust of his new advice guide, Ledged Out. Charles sees his dangerous trip up the mountain as a metaphor for the "my way vs. God's way" approach people take toward life. However, as Charles advises, when people are trapped on a ledge and reached the end of themselves, God is there to rescue them. Charles goes step by step through his memorable climb, demonstrating that difficult circumstances don't make us stronger but more willing to totally rely on God. So let God lead you off the ledge and onto the perfect path.

Helping Churches Succeed Through Transformation"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." (John 14:12)With this verse that Jesus left with us as believers, we must ask ourselves are we truly doing greater works than Jesus today. This writing is about the need to transform the culture in our churches. In schools today, as Christian parents we want our children in the best school and some parents will even send their children to private school. Why, because the environment, the culture is more conducive for learning and when we learn, we grow.In this book we discuss the need to apply the same principle to our churches...that is we must have an environment conducive to teaching and learning. Through the years, the culture in our churches have deteriorated and we must transform that culture if we are to become who God say we should be in Isaiah... The head, not the tail; above, not beneath; and the lender, not the borrower. This book explains why the culture in our churches has deteriorated and what will be required to transform that culture. To Transform Church Culture, we must: Show how church leaders must establish the vision and develop a plan to communicate and achieve that visionShow areas that scripture must be taught in order to grow, develop, and restore a culture of excellence in our church. Show how leaders can shape behaviors, values, and beliefs of parishioners at their church in a significant way.How to get more parishioners involved in Ministry How to restore trust within the church through biblical relevance Provide the methodology to transforming your culture for a healthier church... The Three Levels to Church Transformation. Level III is the methodology to transform the existing church culture. It will be introduced by the CCS team only because of copywrites on the material. www.ccstransformation.org

There is a call to the 21st century Church for transformation. Transformation refers to a change from one state to another. It is a change in form or appearance in either nature or character of a person. In this case, we are talking about the transformation of you, the intercessor. Transformational prayer is designed to take you from one domain of your prayer life to another, affecting your thinking and convictions that help build your paradigmatic philosophies. Meaning, it is going to change the way you think about yourself and prayer. The Church has a standard whereby we live, and that standard is the Word of God. However, even the Church can get stuck in a mundane way of thinking when it comes to prayer. We are after a transformational change. Transformational change refers to a type of change that occurs in all human groups and social systems. There are four types of changes that can come with the intent to transform; natural changes, evolutionary changes, planned and managed changes, and unplanned revolutionary changes. The type of change we are bringing in this book will leave you finding yourself and your paradigm not able to go back to the old ideologies. Dr. Martin is skillful in her teaching styles. She has tapped into a sustainable arena that will help you make your transition into your call, purpose and ultimate destiny in prayer. She has a weekly broadcast on Ustream.com under her Possibility Thinking Consulting Group page on Sunday evenings.

Meet this Alaskan Chief of Eagle Village raised before ancient skills and traditions were forgotten. His friendship, mentoring and wisdom helped a begrizzled war veteran find purpose and healing.Chief Isaac Juneby (the "Senator") with keen native eye and open heart saw possibilities everywhere. He taught us to use the boundless treasures in these Swedish lakes, rivers, mountains and forests to compliment the flow of modern information technology.Isaac urged us to find the gifts, strengths and potential hidden in students fallen through the cracks of school and society. We are certain that Chief Isaac's example and wisdom can inspire even beyond Eagle Village, Alaska and our little segment of a far off Swedish school.The truths he recognized in us and drew out of us can inspire students, teachers, youth counselors, war veterans, war victims, refugees, conservationists, philosophers and all seekers of Truth. Native peoples the world over can preserve the best and most beautiful of their cultures without being overwhelmed by dark forces lurking in the shadows.We offer these selected conversations and observations of a great man that all peoples everywhere might understand the simple Red Blood Line to Salvation and Peace... And then have eyes opened to the wonders of nature and the beauty in each other.Thank you, Chief Isaac... M`ähsi¿ cho... Tack så mycket!Robert E. (Rocky) Schmit Tidaholm, SwedenRocky Schmit has followed Jesus around this world for over forty years. He and Elisabeth have five children and eleven grandchildren. This is his first book.

Following a bitter Civil War, America ended the abhorrent practice of slavery on Dec. 6, 1865, the day the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. Now, the African-American community, along with other minority groups, is being lead back to enslavement through government handouts to a life of dependency on the New Government Plantation, which is destroying their self-esteem, self-reliance, freedom, and the pursuit of the American Dream. As you read the story of Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory, it's easy to imagine the toils of walking in his shoes as a child, teenager, and even as an adult. How is it one can rise from a family who arrived to this country in chains, yet still was able to achieve his dreams, and thus, the American Dream? The truth is, and Senator Guillory will be the first to say, the American Dream can be a reality for all who come to the United States, regardless of their economic status, color of their skin, religion, or how much money is in their pocket. Even those like Senator Guillory, who came from a lower income home, suffered the indignity of the Jim Crow Laws, worked from eight years old to help his family, yet never lost track of his vision and goals of becoming a successful leader. From such a humble beginning, Senator Guillory made his way from the backwoods of Louisiana to an Ivy League school and now to a political leader.

Ukrainian Canadians represent an integral part of the Canadian mosaic and are noted for their hard work; their loyalty to Her Majesty: "The Crown"; and their steadfast faithfulness to a Christian God, while at the same time maintaining their roots and traditions. It was by the "sweat of their brows" that the earliest of the pioneer families who first arrived and settled in 1891 on the Western Canadian Prairies, then the NW Territories, and began to build their lives, families, churches and develop what are now the three Prairie Provinces of Canada, namely, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Some of these Pioneers made their way to our District via the steel mills of Pittsburgh.One such family was the Author's Polish Great Grandfather who "tooled up" a blacksmith shop at his farmstead. The grandfathers came directly from the Ternopil District, Galicia, Austria-Hungary and started at "zero". Some of the second generation were able to attend College came to educate the third generation. Money was sparse during the Great Depression, with few of the second generation progressing through secondary schooling; most through marriage with a few more of the third generation attending University. A Century of Ukrainian Life in Canada was celebrated in 1991. This book is the story of the third generation, which was and is the Author's generation and times. It is a story of a nephew, a grandson, and a son with no prairie land base who had as his one gift a self-financed University education and enabled by the second generation who were by then spread out across Canada and the United States of America and thus his stepping stones.In the end what he did earn and achieve was taken from him, his career, his home, his one precious daughter. He returned to his home Province, Saskatchewan, alone. Although this is a personal story, the key focus is the National Energy Board of the 1970s; the National Energy program of the 1980s; the Canadian Constitution, Repatriation, (1982), and the Meach Lake and Charlottetown Accords of the 1980s respecting Canadian national unity goals; relationships between certain of the Canadian Prime Ministers and United States Presidents; and the 21st Century turmoil in the Middle East; the ongoing world drama which in the Author's opinion is the last generation of the Church Age, two thousand years since the Lord was crucified, which will certainly culminate in the promised return of the Messiah, Lord Jesus Christ as "King of Kings" and the banishment of Lucifer/Satan as the "god of this world" who usurped authority 6000 years ago, in well known events that took place in the Garden of Eden, when he fooled Eve with his lies. This book is one man's journey towards redemption and salvation in the journey of life.

What a treasure we have each and every day. We do no remember every day, at time goes by, but we have a way of remembering moments. And we really never know the value of a moment, until IT becomes a memory. Memories can span miles of years past, and in an instant, we are back there. Many things are forgotten over time. Often we are caught up in our everyday work world so that events of the past are no longer in orbit around our minds. But still, no matter how much time passes, no what it takes place in the interim, there are some things we never assign to oblivion. There are certain memories we never delete. These special good memories remain with us like precious touchstones within our life story. To be sure, memory is like a diary we carry mentally within us. It is a way of holding onto the things we so cherish. For you see, memories are more precious than jewels; they do no lose their value and are always available upon retrieval. Someone has said, "God gave us memories so that we might have roses in December". Every person's memory is their literature and it is a way of reminding us of what is important in life. You know, what we treasure most, tells most about us. For you see, we really never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a treasured memory. This volume contains many moments of memory of the author along with today's reflection on those memories as applied to the currency of our times. For you see, we cherish those remembrances and hold them close in our heart as a valued treasure.

Although it is unlikely that any of the stories contained in this book will ever be as well-known as Banjo Patterson's Bush Christening, or that the author will ever reach the notoriety of the whisky flask tossing preacher, the stuff Banjo Patterson's poem is made of is very much the context and content of ministry in general but especially of that which one finds in the Outback. The small collection of stories offered in this book will hopefully be a resource for personal reflection and a pathway into thinking about how some of our stories can help us to think more about the church in remote and isolated communities. These stories take the reader on a journey into what ministry in the Australian Outback can look like, and through moments of comedy, seriousness, surprise, tragedy and personal spiritual growth, lead the reader in an exploration of the essence of ministry that is, a life that is focused on the other and flows out of one which is lived with God and a commitment to follow Christ.

I have thought for many years that there are so many people, especially children, teens and lost adults that don't know who Jesus is and why they should come to know Him. Since I am not a great speaker, I thought that maybe I could put into writing a short version of how we (people) came to be, how Jesus is involved with us, and the choice of where we can go after we leave this life. It came to me (an inner voice?) that since God gave me an artistic ability, I could use it with words to convey the message. I thought of presenting it from a different point of view! The animals in the book are special characters that my family are familiar with, so I thought I'd use them to tell the story and bring the message. The "guys" as they are known, bring a question and answer dialog along with verses that people can look up to find the more about each subject they discuss. By reading Llamas' Choice, I am hoping God will bless the reader with understanding and a yearning to find more about Jesus and His love for us and help make a right choice before it is too late!

We hear the voice of God every day if we are listening. It may be while praying, singing, dreaming or reading God's word that we come to understand that we are being called into obedience. I have found that children are messengers of God. After writing down my daily observations, and evaluating what I have seen and heard from children, a pattern emerged. Many of the insights are a call to action and some are simply a call to be polite. In this book the reader will notice how the Fruits of the Holy Spirit are present in every virtue. I included scripture from the King James Version of the bible to support each idea. Families may read this book together as a starting point for children's devotions or lessons in Christian living. The watercolor pictures have been done from my own family photos. May the reading and sharing of this book be a blessing to each dear reader.

ndividuals with special needs and/or disabilities are often victims of bullying. Heide Learns About Bullying teaches children what to do when a bully targets them. In this book, Heide learns how to respond when she is bullied and how to pray for those who mistreat her. Heide Loves to Cheer helps children understand how a person with intellectual disabilities feels and thinks. Billy, a ten year old, befriends Heide. Billy has a cousin with a cognitive disorder, so he isn't intimidated by Heide's behavior. What a refreshing break from the norm! Instead of a book being a fantasy break from the real world, this one is a reality break from our fantasy world! Ms. Stewart focuses our attention on a real character in a real situation, and helps us fall in love! -Joel Evers A Note from the Author My daughter was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck three times. This caused oxygen deprivation during her development in the womb and her traumatic birth. She was born with intellectual disabilities, Treacher Collins Syndrome, and mild Cerebral Palsy. She is also developmentally delayed. Having a "Heide" in my life is a precious gift from God. My daughter has an innocent, joyful, and loving spirit. For thirty-three years I have witnessed the general public's reaction to those who are different. I have volunteered with Special Olympics for twelve years, and worked in the public education system with special needs students. My daughter is the inspiration for the "Heide" series. If we can teach our children to see past the disabilities, to see the person, then we can enrich the lives of those who are often misunderstood and left out. If we will include them in our worlds, we will make a difference one opportunity at a time. Vicky Stewart LOOK FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

How well do you know God? Whether you are a dedicated follower of Christ, or someone who does not yet know the Lord, this book will inspire you to become more intimate with the God of creation. This book compares man's wisdom with that of God's wisdom. It then examines three of the most destructive lies that are tearing at the fabric of all nations. It concludes with an investigation of the human condition. Where does man stand before his creator, and what must he do to truly come to know him? Today, man is trying his best to draw close to God using his own methods. Some follow religion, while others do good works. Many believe that being a good person is enough to make heaven their home. This book pulls no punches, and the author uses extensive scriptural analysis to support significant biblical proclamations. The bible says, "Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many will choose to go in this direction; but straight is the gate, and narrow is the way which leads to life, and only a few will find it." The road leading to eternal life is a narrow one, and only those who deeply desire to know God will follow along its path.
