This book is a selection of poetry based on Bible stories as well as some new poems recently inspired by the Holy Spirit, all designed to stimulate the interest of the young at heart.I imagine parents reading to their children at bedtimes; I picture this being recited at campfires and Sunday school classes. To ensure that gentle hearts remain sincere, here is another example of God's care to preserve welfare in a world where reliability is needed.To keep our young ones safe in the faith, this book paints a picture of a secure future with a friendship with a God who is everywhere and cares anywhere for everyone. These expressions display that fact that Jesus is there, with friendly unconditional love, even when other loved ones are absent to care. This unction also encourages scripture investigations as expressed in this play of rhymes.Jesus has always been friendly. He said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not send them away." God inspired this book to say that he is indeed help in time of need--a friend of the holy, lonely, unruly, or bully. It can even be said that he can be even closer than a brother, a best friend forever.

This is exactly the opposite of our current dates where the dates move forward as events move forward. In this book there is a BC to AD timeline of the Bible, some history and some prophesied events. As you read, you will go on a journey through history, and put together past and present through what was written down about events and prophesied events.157

Who is "Wonder Mamama"?Wonder Mamama is based on a real-life grandmother. She is a youthful, energetic grandmother, part superhero, part angel, who possesses a great love for her family.It is our intent to highlight the increasing importance of grandmothers in the lives of their children's children and the significant role they play in shaping the lives of their grandchildren.Wonder Mamama has time, patience, and wisdom to teach life's simple lessons to her grandchildren. She takes her grandchildren splashing in water parks, coasting on snow-covered hills, screaming down slides at the playground, and traveling around the world, all while correcting homework, instructing little ones about household chores, and, most importantly, having meaningful discussions in a distinctly nonthreatening style that grandparents have perfected.I hope this story will appeal to all grandmothers and their grandchildren, whether they are the primary caregivers or they assist on a needed basis.
The positive energy touches my heart.--Robert HowardI've read it over and over again. It continues to inspire me over and over again.--David Cheatham, motivational speakerEncouraging and motivational describes Stories for Children. Although written for children, adults receive the message of resilience, love, and determination. "A Boy Named Morris" was written by the author at the age of ten. The story was inspired by a boy in the author's fourth grade class. Every afternoon on the way home from school, Morris sees a homeless man in the park with torn clothes and a sad dirty face. He feels bad for the homeless man and asks his parents what he can do to help the man. His parents inform him there was nothing he can do because the homeless man is an adult and has to help himself. This saddens him. He wishes for a way to help the man. Then one day, he has the chance to help the man. Later that day, Morris is rushed to the hospital. He had been sick for a long time. While at the hospital, he has a visit from the homeless man, who he takes him to his heavenly reward. This story relates to all religions and cultures, A true story of pure love and human kindness."Maggie's Carnival of Dreams" is inspired by the author's experiences as a child. The story tells of children with various disabilities sitting in a dirty old park, imagining and dreaming of going to a carnival to ride upon the amusement rides. The children are told by their caregiver that they are "not normal children" and will never be able to ride upon amusement rides. This hurts and saddens the children, so they create a carnival of their minds where they can ride upon the rides and where their disabilities can't stop them. As years go by and the children grow into their adult years, Maggie remembers the hurt of being called "not normal" and makes their dreams come true. Maggie makes the dream carnival reality. The carnival is designed for children with disabilities--because all children are normal.
Jason Keeting has finally settled back into relative normalcy as the chief of Spruce Bay Fire in North Idaho after a series of harrowing and tragic incidents. With the help of an out-of-district firefighter acting undercover, he was able to assist law enforcement in the arrest of almost the entire board of fire commissioners in his small rural fire department. But just as the proverbial dust has settled and he has begun helping his fiancee, Jennifer, with the planning of their wedding, he receives a call from his good friend, Marty Jackson, the fire chief at a district just across the border in Whitman, Washington. Marty has been seriously injured in a cannery fire, the cause of which is suspicious and he asks Jason to fill in for him, running the district until Marty can get back on his feet. Jason readily agrees; however, within a day of arriving as the substitute fire chief, he finds himself in a quandary when the fire crews find themselves in danger while responding to what should have been the extinction of a simple wheat stubble fire. After several more similar incidents, Jason arrives at the conclusion that someone is targeting Whitman Fire firefighters. Incensed, Jason enlists Shaun Gaines, a trusted volunteer from his own fire district, to assist him in an undercover investigative operation. He soon regrets, however, pulling Shaun into the line of fire.

God Created You is filled with simple biblical truths to remind readers that God created him or her and the world around them for a purpose. God knew the exact time we would be born and the family line we would be a part of. He created each of us to have unique gifts and talents to boldly shine His light. No one person is the same and each life is precious. Although it will not always be smooth sailing when we put our faith in our Creator, He will take that burden from us and guide us through the storm.
Having faith is fun, and it really is just that--fun! When you realize that faith has all the answers to your situation, why would you live in fear? When you live in fear, your fear is your faith, and you believe what fear says. We have all been given a measure of faith not to hold on to but to use. Faith is an action word, which requires action to reap the rewards of answered prayers of those things hoped for. Believing when we pray powers our faith. In the book of James, he reminds us that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:20 KJV). As time goes by, our measure of faith, which we should be using whether it's the mustard seed or something greater, would grow over time into a mustard tree (Matthew 21:34-37). No one should have the same measure of faith they were given at birth. Babies don't know anything about faith, but there is a mechanism in place that when a baby cries, attention comes. It's the same with our faith: when it is used, it brings God's attention to our situation. So as you see, having faith is fun. Faith already has the answer to whatever you're going through. Try having fun with faith, and you'll see and notice the difference in your trials. Let go of fear and grab your faith because having faith is fun when you use it and believe it!What I noticed is the power that faith produces from one trial to another. Faith grows. It should not be the same faith you used when you were younger. Faith doesn't stay the same. It changes, it grows. It is sad when I hear someone say, "I have mustard seed faith after going through many trials." Faith is a seed that is meant to grow bigger and better with every trial. Faith makes you a winner. Real faith never fails. Make faith your friend and fear your enemy. You will see the difference in the results.
Do you know that without faith, your existence has no place in God? Doubt's desire is to void your destiny with God. Until your faith is the same under all circumstances, there will still be room for doubt and anxiety in your life. How are you with His Word?Are you still wrestling with doubt, fear, anxiety, or unbelief?You need to urgently break the backbone of doubt and unbelief in your walk of faith. Doubt is a thief of your blessings and an enemy of your destiny. Doubt and worry are offensive to God and spiritually oppressive to His children. The only way to change a person is to change the way he thinks and eats. Think on the Word and learn to eat His Word.About the AuthorDr. Jacobs Obamedo is a graduate from the University of Nigeria-Nsukka with a bachelor of science degree in economics/sociology.

This book was thirty-two years in the making and is meant to be a praise to God for all He has done for me down through the years. By relating experiences of Him dealing with me, I have established a deep relationship with Him. Without these experiences, I believe that relationship would never have happened. My desire for sharing this story with others will perhaps help deter someone from making the same mistakes I did and fall into the same pitfalls that brought so much unhappiness.For victims of sexual abuse, don't allow yourselves to remain a victim by keeping quiet. Tell someone. Although this book shows a lot of ups and downs, it also reveals a life of happiness and joys, a sense of accomplishment while holding on to God with a grip that won't let go while He says, "I got you."
For generations, young people have struggled with their identity, who they are, what they will become, and where life will take them. Not much has changed. In fact, the struggle has intensified. Our youth are in search of answers and solutions, and while they may be bombarded with social media, music, video games, and keeping up with the constant changes in society, their desire for truth has not waned. It has, in fact, escalated to the point of desperation for most of them.No one desires to be lost. Everyone wants to succeed and be wholesome individuals; it's innate. This book of writings by youth like yourselves is designed to shed some light on your path to finding hope and peace as well as discovering that you can be a whole person despite the challenges you face. There is no judgment--only real-life experiences shared by others who are walking the same path as you.There are quotes, prayers, and guidelines based on biblical principles to help you navigate through this maze we call life.
God is so, so good! He never stops showering his love, his mercy, and his compassion on us in so many, many ways. The Lord gives, and I take. It doesn't sound too good for us, does it? I could spend the rest of my life writing about what God gives to each one of us even to those who do not walk with the Lord. His hand is continually pouring out. Most of us do not think about it, or we ignore it. And if we do, we look at it with very dim-sighted eyes. Much of our time is spent on the expectations of what we want from him. But he gives, and he gives, and he gives. And the reality is, we take, and we take, and we take. We take all that God supplies with very little thankfulness to him. We are greedy, and we expect so much, and the truth is, we are so undeserving.Can we ever pay God back? Never...never...never. But we can recognize, appreciate, embrace, and be thankful for what he has done, is doing, and will do by honoring him and living our lives in his love and in service to him, worshipping and giving him all the glory and bringing to light his word to those who don't know him.I stand in awe and amazement at the Lord's grace for humankind. He holds all together for us. Be brought back to the beauty, the awe, and the wonder of God! May we change the casualness in our hearts and minds that we take toward him and begin to develop a view of his awesome mercy and grace. Join me in plunging into the depths of his goodness.
Gettysburg is a picturesque town in south central Pennsylvania. Named after Samuel Gettys, who was an Irish settler and tavern owner in the late 1770s, Gettysburg became famous during the American Civil War. On July 1 to July 3, 1863, it was the scene of the bloodiest single battle of the war, with more than fifty thousand casualties. The dead were not just on the battlefield but also throughout the entire town. Hotels, stores, and houses became makeshift hospitals and morgues. Robert Lucas was a thirty-year-old handsome and extremely successful businessman from modern-day New York city engaged to be married to Florence, whom he had known for two years now.

She was twenty-four years old, long brown hair, very beautiful and petite, slightly old-fashioned in her ways. When he first looked into her beautiful blue eyes, it was as if he knew her from before. Maybe they were soul mates? Maybe it was a previous lifetime? Just as Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War, this will be the turning point in Robert's life. Will he go back to Florence in the big city, or will he choose young Caroline? Or does the universe and fate have other plans for him?The ending of this story will change Robert's life forever and those who love him.
All my life all I knew was brokenness, shame, and guilt. I didn't know what true love was. I didn't know I was worthy or loved because I sure didn't feel it or see it in my life. At age thirteen I wanted to cover up the pain I had inside. My addictions to many things became the Band-Aid that kept falling off to the deep wounds of my heart that only Jesus could heal. I didn't know. Not only did I not know, but I wanted the pain to instantly go away, so my addiction took control of my life. God never left me. He pursued me, and I was too blind to see. It wasn't until I had enough of the life I was living and wanted to take my own life that I cried out to God. The Lord reached out His hand in the pit of my despair and lifted me up. I have been walking with Him since that day. I fell in love with Jesus because He loved me first, He says we were worth dying for. He did not allow the devil to take me out before I knew what true love is. I went from hopeless to putting my hope in Jesus. Who am I now? I am loved. I am chosen. I am redeemed. I am free!
This book was written on behalf of the love I have for little kittens of all kinds. They remind me of how little children play as they grow up and the mischief they get into.
It's about men in the Bible who kept going in the word in the face of adversity. I also talk about my own walk with the Lord, in the face of adversity and temptation.
