Romans 12:2 encourages believers to "be transformed by the renewing of our minds." Transformation and renewal are works of the Holy Spirit within us, but we each have a role to play in the process. The most effective way to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in this work is to daily fill our minds and hearts with the Word of God. Christy Coleman Schuette wrote Journey Through the Bible as a tool to aid in this daily walk with the Lord. Each of the 365 entries contains an Old Testament passage, a New Testament passage, a Psalm, and a Proverb, along with a brief devotional reflection. In just a few minutes a day, Journey Through the Bible helps readers focus their minds and hearts on the timeless truths that transform and renew us so that we might "discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God." Christy Coleman Schuette is a wife, mother, grandmother, and follower of Jesus Christ. Christy was born and raised in Arab, Alabama. She is a 1987 graduate of Auburn University with a bachelor's degree in social work and a 1988 graduate of the University of Alabama with a master's in social work.

Even during my darkest hours He never left my side! He loved me even when I was so miserable and imperfect! He sent Jesus His most precious Son to die for me and you! Restoration is His goal! He is most loving and kind; always forgiving when we truly repent of our sins! He seeks out the lost imperfect people and uses them to accomplish His purposes when they are willing and available!

This book emphasizes Scripture memory, because spoken Scripture is your only defense against Satan and his demons. In this book, I'll show you how easy it is to memorize Scripture verses, short passages, and whole chapters. I'll explain why you have no "appetite" for Scripture memory, and how to overcome your reluctance to do it. In one of the chapters, entitled, "The Night I Stood Up To The Devil", I'll share my own true story of how, in the dark of night, I spoke a short Bible verse as I felt evil about to overwhelm me. The moment I spoke, that feeling of being attacked vanished. I'll show you how to eliminate unwanted thoughts, and why God found it necessary to create the universe, including the earth we live in. When you equip yourself as I describe, you will enjoy peace, joy, and contentment. My name is Jan (James R) Smith. I live near St.Paul, in Minnesota. I wasn't always an evangelical Bible Christian. I was raised in a faith tradition that emphasizes rites and rituals, but teaches nothing about using the Bible to equip yourself for the struggles of life. In fact, well into my adult years, I didn't even know what the Bible was. Some kind of church book. That's how I was, well into my adult years. But then, the time came when I began listening to Bible teaching on the radio. I was astonished to learn that the Bible is filled with Wisdom from God! My spiritual gift is: recognizing problems, then creating solutions. Soon I realized, I should be sharing these "solutions" with other people. So, I created a web site: wordblessings.com Sixteen of my blog articles are included in this book. I hope you like them!

I decided to become a medical doctor at the age of twelve. I was focussed on just being a doctor and nothing else. But after medical school while working in ER in the Bahamas I received a life-changing prophetic word while attending a conference in Tulsa, OK, USA. God wanted to use me as a medical scientist (50%) and divine healer (50%). "Things IMPOSSIBLE with medical science are POSSIBLE with Dr JESUS" is the Title of my book that was birthed after discovering that medical science could not heal any diseases. The Word of God says, "For with God Nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37)". While here on earth, Jesus went about healing "All" diseases with no failure recorded. Medical Science cannot claim similar achievements. Today over half a million lives are dead from the pandemic COVID-19 because medical science cannot control it. A 7-year old girl's life was snatched away by melanoma, an aggressive cancer. An eleven-year-old boy, on Oprah Winfrey's show, heard voices to kill his mother with a kitchen knife when he developed these uncontrollable temper tantrums. Control of the problem was elusive for medical science. Jesus had a similar type of demonic confrontation with 'Legion', but He healed the possessed man completely in a matter of time. Medical science has certainly shown remarkable advancement technologically and believes spuriously that it does not need the assistance of the Divine Healer where illness is concerned. This is worsened by clinicians who believe that divine healing does not mix with the expert ability of medical science. Kathryn Kuhlman, a woman used mightily by God, in divine healing stated, "Any doctor who lacks faith in the Supreme Being has no right to practice medicine". If doctors say, "Nothing else can be done, that is it". But there is One "who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above ALL that we ask or think ...". Medical science is imperfect, but the Word of God is perfect and health to all the flesh. Satan came to steal, to kill and to destroy but Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

Imagine the concept of tuning a radio to different stations. As the reader flips through the dial (turns the page), one frequency is a light whimsical poem, and the turning of the nob brings a sad and thought-provoking analogy of growing old, and next, the warm special-enjoyment of holding someone's hand. The reader will enjoy turning the dial and observing the life of two doves, and later, observing two ducks. (Yep, you're "gonna hafta" buy the book to read these fine works of literature.) As you read; enjoy "turning a knob" and finding something heartwarming, or tear jerking, or humorous or enlightening, or brilliant (well maybe not too bright) observations of life. I Promise, you will look forward to "changing the frequency", as you adjust the dial in "Channels of Delight".

Daily Encounters with God is a devotional book that can be used by an individual or a group. This book is a study on the Attributes of God. Each chapter covers an attribute, scripture references, a personal God Encounter by the author, discussion questions for a life application, and a prayer. As you study the attributes of God, you will understand more clearly how God interacts with us in our daily lives. Sometimes we are aware of these encounters, but often we are not. It is in our "remembering" that we can put all the pieces of the puzzle together and see God at work. In running the race set before us, we often get discouraged, but it is in the times of suffering and trials that we grow the most in our faith, if we will only persevere. When we see God's hand involved, we become even more determined to run our best race. As you study each devotion, I pray you will be inspired, encouraged, and realize God has a perfect plan for your life. When you recognize your own God Encounters, share them to help someone else in the marathon race called life! Vickie Tingwald was born in Missouri and raised in Iowa.

What if you both got out of the way and trusted that God knew what was best for you and your marriage?

Whether you are currently in a marriage that feels like a hopeless situation, or you've experienced the hurt, pain, and grief of divorce, there is still good news and hope for you.

What does it mean to be truly changed, to have been so transformed from the inside out that you are never the same again? More importantly, how can we experience this in our lives, allowing Holy Spirit to innerchange us into the people He wants us to be? In Innerchange: Be Innerchanged and Have an Encounter with the Living God! author Virginia McDaniel seeks to answer these questions, providing an in-depth look at what happens in our lives when we surrender them fully to God. In this inspiring book, she shares the miracles and changes that happened in her life with her husband, who was delivered from fifteen years of demonic possession, to how the Lord worked things out for her to travel and take the gospel to the nations, connecting with pastors from South Africa and Europe. A follow-up to her first book Peace in the Midst of the Storm, Virginia describes how Precious Holy Spirit inspired her to write this book and even showed her the cover to use. She communicates that He wants this book to reach the world because so many in the body of Christ and the world judge men by their outward appearance, but our God judges men by the heart. Her moving testimony is a beautiful revelation of how Jesus takes a life and removes it from darkness, changing and filling it with His marvelous light, just like He did with her husband. If you are ready to encounter God and experience life-altering innerchange, this book is for you.
For generations, thousands upon thousands of young American men and women have paid the ultimate price, giving their lives for their country when at war. Many have gone to perform their service and duty, in all branches of the U.S. military, and have done so with the hope of making America a better, more secure place to live: to raise families, live freely, and follow the pursuit of happiness. So many young soldiers have bet their lives on this bargain, and thousands more have given up their physical and mental health, to uphold the American Dream. This "American stock" of the drafted and volunteered youth of war, bet their lives on this dream and lost. And, many surviving veterans and their families are plagued with problematic questions that persist in their demand for an answer: Why? Was war necessary for the safety and protection of our country or others? Was my child's life wasted for a government or politician's personal agenda for political gain? In this candid, heartfelt, and morally searching memoir, American Stock, author and retired U.S.A.F. Chief Master Sergeant Terry Savoie seeks to find answers and personal peace to these pressing questions by sharing his own life and story, and a military career that spanned from 1968 to 1993. Within these pages, at turns heartwarming and nostalgic, other times horrific and heartbreaking, the author shares his journey and personal post-war healing found in God's Word, in addition to his call to hold our elected officials accountable for stewarding the health and healing of our country's soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, now and forever.
A simple six-word sentence from a beloved relative "You have never given me hope" led to a two-year intensive search on the meaning of hope. It is a word that is used, often over-used, without any real context. "Give hope this year" or "Give the gifts of hope" or "Hope is springing forth" and especially in the 2020 year of the Covid-19 pandemic, "Hope is on the way!" All of these sound good, but how is hope defined? Can we "give" others hope, if so, how? HOPE What is it? Where is it Found? Looks at hope theologically, Biblically, psychologically, sociologically, and through the ethos of American hope and false hope. Framed throughout are stories from the author's life within and without the church, along with the realization that hope exists in multitudes of ways, many undiscovered by the conscious mind and heart. This work is an attempt, like an archaeological excavation, to unearth the treasures of hope that have been dormant, buried, and unused. Much has been discovered from the past and the present that gives promise for the future. D.B, (Dee) Shelnutt, Jr., author of Songs in the Night: Holding on in the Darkness of Life and At the Welcome Tree (a children's book) loves anything that has to do with family, friends, lake life, reading, writing, working in the yard, traveling, preaching, teaching, studying, laughing/ humor, eating his favorite dish: food, playing games with his grandkids, UGA Bulldawgs, and learning to paint. A retired pastor in the United Methodist Church, he served for forty years in various cities in North Georgia. His lifework has been in Biblical hospitality and multi-cultural relationships (how to welcome the stranger in our midst). Website: www.deeshelnutt.com Email: deeshelnuttjr@gmail.com

Four Times Christian Book Award Winner: Illumination Book Awards, Inscriptions Christian Books Award, Ames Book Award, and Carolina Christian Writers Awards.In recent decades, the application of biblical principles that generate marital joy and happiness has diminished. Younger generations at large have aligned their marriages more with the precepts of the world than of Christ, leaving couples unfulfilled and unhappy. Steadily, the holistic nature of the art of married love has been lost as to being the fabric of Christian marriages.In The Pursuit of Marriage Oneness: the Key to Marital Success, Dr. Wilson unveils the key to marriage fulfillment: understanding and walking in marital Oneness. Organized into three parts, he first examines the field of knowledge on Oneness in marriage from a unique, faith-based perspective. Second, The Pursuit of Marriage Oneness offers an in-depth discourse on the synergy of the three facets of marital love from the Song of Songs, making practical applications from Scripture, clinical experience, and empirical research.

The clock is ticking, judgment is waiting, the earth has been groaning, and the moment is coming! There's no time to waste! The end that the Bible talks about is closer than you think! Moral, social, political, and climate conditions are beyond repair! Governments are setting the stage for the Man of Lawlessness! People are crying out, "Peace and safety!" Yet, the Bible says, "None will come," but destruction will! In this book, Behold A Mystery, The Beginning of the End, I'm taking you through the final events of the Bible now so that you won't have to experience them later! The book of Revelation holds nothing back!

God will give this world the hell it's been longing for!
