Conservative Christianity in the United States has long been a beacon of hope. Conservative churches have withstood tidal waves of liberal theology and cultural shifts towards secularism over recent decades. Through it all, we have stood firm and remained committed to orthodoxy. As good as our intentions have been, however, we are not without fault. In our commitment to conservativism, we have lost our way and failed in some areas. It is important for us to be honest and vulnerable about these failings so we can correct our course and be the people God has called us to be. The American Masquerade confronts many of these failures such as: - Moralism replacing the true gospel- Impotency of the local church- Politicizing of the faith- Worshiping the nation over ChristPastors, believers, and friends, I urge you to open your hearts and be honest with yourselves. We have done so much right, but we have also done our fair share of wrong. Let God's truth break our hearts, redirect our course, and recover our purpose.

I have known Jana Hoffman for almost a decade, and here is what I can tell you: Jana is a warrior in prayer. For years, I have been blessed by and learned from her ministry of prayer. I commend this book to you as a helpful guide, manual, and tool for exploring how to deepen the work and privilege of prayer. May God use it to bless His people! I know it will bless you. -Kyle Worley, Knowing Faith Podcast Host, Pastor, Mosaic Church, Richardson, TexasWhy pray? We pray to engage with God and hear his voice in all occasions. When you are getting to know someone, you enter into conversation. God loves to hear our voices. He is ever listening. When you share your heart with God, prayer comes alive. It produces an overwhelming peace within your spirit as you converse with your Creator. Experiencing God through prayer is the most satisfying fulfillment to your being. You are made in God's image, and within the depths of your own heart, you begin to know him. It's a gift to come to know God's character, attributes, and names. What would it look like to have God's character and attributes permanently reside within your heart? Once you saw amen, you have done business with God. So, let's pray.

The body of Christ is in a great state of emergency.Many people are unknowingly operating under the deceptive influence of the spirit of Jezebel, and as a result many are unprepared, misplaced, and dead to the spiritual assignment for which God built them. The good news is that God is aware, and He has sent special agents-Dreamsmen- to combat this spirit face to face. The bad news is that God's agents must first get past the religious walls that Jezebel has set up against them inside the church. Dreamsmen: The Final Combat brings the awakening that ministry leaders need to recognize the deceptive hand of Jezebel and to acknowledge the dream as one of God's powerful weapons against her. This firsthand account seeks to alleviate the Dreamsmen's fight in the body of Christ and to demonstrate the power of God-given dreams so that both leaders and sheep begin to walk in the fullness of who they are called to be. Using her incredibly powerful experience with dreams and interpretations and eye-opening accounts of real-life ministry, Senior delivers a powerful message that sets the stage for the final battle between the deadly spirit of Jezebel and the "Dreamsmen." Senior gives Dreamsmen all the ammunition they need to become who they are called to be.

I'm thankful that he has decided to share this with the world." -Kelley Bremer, Business Owner"Growing up as Jim Sherman's son, I am both the subject and recipient of many of his fatherhood stories.
