In this expansive memoir looking back over his fifty-five years of living and working with the hill tribe people of northern Thailand, Richard Mann gives an in-depth account for one of the world's most successful attempts to curb narcotics. As a Christian missionary, and both a project manager and advisor with the United Nations, Mann helped find suitable crops and markets for those crops that could provide a livelihood in place of opium poppy. Feet on the Mountain details life for the hill tribes before modern roads, technology, and infrastructure brought change. Mann shares humorous experiences during his time in Thailand, including living in the "Pink House where the Ghost lives."Feet on the Mountain is an entertaining and enlightening read, reminding readers that the first stop for tackling problems is growing hope.

This book is filled with a number of actual traumatizing experiences in Alfred and Joyce's life. We, for the last thirty-five years, have had individual group and marriage counseling.The result of all of our trauma has leaked into our marriage. We find ourselves still processing the pain from the sins committed against us. Just because we have forgiven those who have hurt us does not mean we have forgotten what happened to us. Our minds are like computers--it takes our thoughts and experiences and stores them in our subconsciousness.Recently we were blessed to be able to go over the Rwanda to participate in a Rwanda Mission Conference on teaching husbands and wives how to "become one."The trip to Africa helped us realize how fortunate we are to be citizens of the United States of America, no matter how unperfect the United States of America is.Hallelujah!

The Christian ministry can be so complicated that no pastor is totally prepared for what is about to hit them. There are situations that arise one never anticipates. Pastor Keller believes he has faced them all, and he shares them in his book on Hidden Enemies in the Ministry. Keller has had to lock horns over legalism, face a charismatic invasion that split his church, be fired for doing what he said he would do when he was hired, deal with witchcraft and the occult within his own congregation, have an outside pastor try to steal his ministry, ignorantly allow liberalism to get a foot in the door, be accused of immoral behavior, and worst of all, try to minister when his wife was dying of cancer.Keller tells how he dealt with all these situations and does so with other pastors in mind as his desire is to share his lifetime experiences, so others do not fall into the same traps. Keller is also concerned about the "the silent pulpit" and the fear of pastors to preach the whole council of God, and that includes the moral-political issues that are destroying our nation--issues like abortion, critical race theory, the social justice movement. Too many pastors are too politically correct in their preaching that their compassion for their flock is more important than telling the truth.It has been said of those who have read this book that it ought to be required reading in the practicum department of every Bible college in America. Experience gives one far more wisdom for ministry than what is learned in seminary.It is my hope and prayer that Hidden Enemies in the Ministry will better equip you to be a more successful servant of Christ in fulfilling His calling on your life.

Glimpses of God are opportunities to recognize, with greater clarity, the presence of God in the various places, people, events, circumstances, objects, and languages of our daily life. I offer them to you as an opportunity to reflect on how much God is a part of your life, and how He has chosen to be in relationship with you, how you have chosen to be in relationship with Him, and how through this relationship, you become one of His greatest Glimpses. They are glimpses because we can miss them if we are not paying attention. If we open our heart to His love, our ears to hear his gentle whisper, our eyes to see His light, our hands to feel His hand in ours, and our feet to walk with Him, then we are growing in our relationship with our God and exuding His presence in a clear and vibrant way. I believe that it is in and through this relationship that we are able to recognize His invitation to be a Glimpse to others on our life. I believe it is then that we see more clearly His presence within ourselves. As we recognize His presence within ourselves, and strive to see it more readily in others, then we grow not only in love with our God, self, and others, we are filled with a deeper peace, a greater joy, and a sense of being beloved. If we are open to sharing these gifts with others, then we too are being a Glimpse of God to those in our family, our neighborhood, our community, our society, our church, our friends, those we encounter on a daily basis and even the stranger.

Just Deliver the MessagePaul was just an everyday, unassuming, ordinary man chosen to deliver life-changing messages to strangers. Could he have been mistaken for someone else and chosen incorrectly? Who was he to be given such a task? He was just barely a believer himself, with his own personal demons to battle.Thousands of believers discarded their personal belongings and assembled in an open field in Kentucky. By their faith alone, some followed a man unknown to them across America's heartland to find their destiny.Dark forces, determined to undermine the ultimate plan, battled the faithful at every turn. Spiritual warfare was something not to be played with, and it was hard to accept by even the most self-acclaimed believers. Minions of the darkness assured them of their reality.Would church leaders withstand the test of Paul's message or risk losing their salvation? Did Paul's messages save lives or result in eternal damnation?

Have you pulled up anchor and deliberately sailed away from God, or maybe you're just slowly drifting? Until one day, God's voice calls to you like the lighthouse will beckon to the nearby ships, alerting them to danger. God comes for us shining His light into the dark and dismal place that has us trapped. I made many mistakes in my life while being away from God, from the small barely noticeable ones, which seemed easy to fix, to the earth-shattering, knee-bending ones that I couldn't crawl out of without help. Today, I know that a strong relationship with God takes time and effort.Faith isn't stagnant. Faith involves active participation. Like a seed develops its roots beneath the soil, our faith grows deeper as we take our time getting to know God intimately through His Word. The more we understand and see His faithfulness throughout the Bible, the more we will love Him. Then our faith strengthens and becomes rooted in Him. In being faithful to my relationship with God, I found myself anchored in place by deep roots, and every gardener knows deep, strong roots are hard to uproot.These devotions were written to share my I-finally-get-it moments when God would teach me through my work, my relationships, and my daily activities. It didn't matter whether I was gardening, traveling, or cooking. God used these moments to open my eyes to certain truths He wanted me to know. On a roller coaster, where only death was expected, faith was finally understood. While chasing a storm with my mother, I understood a reason for trials. As I wrote, I prayed for the readers, and I longed that they, too, would draw and stay closer to Him, and I hope that you will be one of them.

Why can't we change our inappropriate, compulsive behaviors? Is it because we aren't trying? Surveys show that most people claim a lack of self-control was their reason for relapsing back to old bad habits. Although we believe in miraculous change as Christians, the church is often notorious for creating faith expectations that distort and skew the psychology of achieving lasting sobriety and weight loss goals. The problem is that cogent observations of our compulsive behaviors aren't always entirely rational. We underestimate and remain unaware of factors controlling our behavior. We have influences, biases, preferences, triggers, and traumas that cannot easily be undone. We overestimate our rational ability, failing to understand, actually ignoring our irrational selves. Although Jesus came to save us, his most important work was his efforts to reset our patterns of thought. Quite simply, he came to change our thinking! This book will examine psychological disciplines and techniques in our journey to break free from those habitual behavior cycles and achieve transformative release.

This is a true story of an elderly couple, Wade and Ruth Kincaid, sixty-five and sixty-four years old, respectively. They became fondly known as Mom and Pop when in Vietnam. They were led by God to go to Vietnam at the height of the Vietnam War to start a servicemen's center for the military personnel. They went with a ticket to get there and funds for a return ticket and little else. They did not know anyone in Saigon and did not have a place to stay. This was a foreign country, and they did not know the language, but they were willing to step out in faith believing that God would lead them on their journey of faith

In many Christian churches throughout the world today, there is absolute total bondage that millions of my brothers and sisters in Jesus are living through every day. This bondage is the inability of millions of God's children to forgive themselves for their past sins, the current sins in their lives, and sins they worry will continue tomorrow. Much of this bondage comes from so many holding on to their past and not fully understanding the total and absolute forgiveness of their heavenly Father.The kingdom of darkness has oppressed millions in the church today through lies using false teachings that have permeated most Christian denominations today through corrupt Bible versions and private interpretations of God's Word. Sadly, this same problem gets promoted by the legalism that many Christian denominations put on their members, teaching that one can lose their salvation by not following man-made rules and regulations or even committing one single sin. Not only that, but many churches fail to teach the unconditional love and forgiveness of God found in the truth of God's Word.The purpose or goal of this book is to show millions that God has totally forgiven us as His children. Also, the purpose is to help Christians to have a private talk with Jesus and allow Him through His Word to prove the love of the Father and the power of forgiveness that God has given through Jesus's sacrificial death on the cross.Here is your chance to talk to Jesus alone and find the peace of mind you deserve as a child of God as you listen to Jesus as He shows you in His Word how to forgive yourself. In reading this book, I desire for each of you to be able to say to Jesus with joy in your heart, "Lord, I forgive myself!"

Standing in the revered Saint Michael's Golden Domed Monastery and Cathedral in modern-day Kyiv, Michael the Archangel, general of the holy angelic army, divvies out orders to his fellow angelic commanders as the city and country prepare for the invasion of Russian forces. As they dispatch with their tasks, the great angel reminisces about how it all began.In the beginning, war was unknown--until Michael expelled from the heavenly realm his twin brother, Lucifer, and thwarted the great rebellion. In the wake of such defeat, the enemy of the Trinity turned his vitriol toward the ones made most in the Creator's image, the human race. From the casting of Adam and Eve from the Garden to the Great Flood to the trials and tribulations of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, the germination and evolution of spiritual warfare is witnessed.Archangel Michael follows the will and orders of the Most High as angel swords and demon spears clash in the battle for human destiny. He and his fellow archangels contend with Satan and his demonic princes as the chapters of Genesis unfold.Angel Chronicles: Patriarchs is an interpretation of the interactions and interventions of both good and evil forces from the day prior to the biblical account of the creation of man to the death of the last patriarch, Joseph. The voices and viewpoints, while leaning heavily on history as recorded by the scribes of the book of Genesis, are the creative account of spiritual entities, the masters they serve, and the humans caught in between, blending fantasy with religious texts.
