"What happened in the 1990s at Hope, and is still happening, is nothing short of remarkable and spectacular-a dramatic and massive work of the Holy Spirit producing conversions and spiritual renewal and a call to missions and Christian ministry on a grand scale. "I call it a 'revival, ' not only because the word is accurate, but also because it has been the common term used throughout American history for this kind of event. A 'revival' at Hope was for years what many had prayed for. That's the proper noun I started to use as the title of this book, 'A Memoir of the Hope Revival.' "The story of the Hope College revival is a great story. I only hope I can do it justice."

As Christians do we truly believe God has a plan and a purpose for our lives and that He works all things together for good? When going through the unwanted and unexpected events of life, do we believe God is accomplishing His sovereign plan for our benefit and His glory? Making Choices for Godly Living will help you examine your choices and challenge you in making those that are pleasing to God. This is a great resource to help Christians facing challenging or difficult situations and for those wanting to grow in their faith. It has been designed so that it can also be useful in counseling or Bible studies. Our God cares about the truth as well as how we package that truth. The Truth is Jesus; the packaging is wisdom, humility and love. This book has what I think is the perfect wrapping for the truth. Terry is a wise man who has been tested in such difficult trials, and, in this book, he has chosen to partner with the Old Testament wise man, Joseph, who was also tested in the most difficult of trials. Between the two of them, I have benefited from the message as well as the messengers, and I expect to return to them both.Ed Welch, Author, Faculty and Counselor at the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation Making Choices for Godly Living shares the wisdom and insight that Terry Burlingame learned when life circumstances demanded that he and his wife go beyond simply reading and teaching Scripture to wrestling with God and with what the Bible says. Thoroughly biblical, and yet filled with thoughtful application, this book will help you trust the Lord even when life doesn't work out as you thought it should.Richard Bargas, Executive Director, IFCA International The Genesis account of the life of Joseph is a deep and rich mine from which expositors have been unearthing treasure for centuries. I know of no one who has mined those riches more effectively and in a more engaging way than Terry Burlingame. You will be both encouraged and challenged as you rehearse the life of this patriarch with Pastor Burlingame. Terry Burlingame is an experienced counselor who ministers God's solutions to hurting people. Here he shows you how you can move from victim to victor in your circumstances by making biblical choices.Donn R. Arms, Director, Institute for Nouthetic Studies, Publisher, INS Publishing I had a front row seat to Terry Burlingame's pastoring. As pastor to my then-fiancé, he officiated our wedding. He helped us make that glorious choice! In his book, Making Choices for Godly Living, Terry helps us with many more; choices that commend the majesty and mercy of our glorious God. As a good pastor, Terry laces his exhortations to "choose" with countless Scriptures that not only show us the way of godliness but reveal the God we obey.Trent Hunter, Pastor for Preaching and Teaching, Heritage Bible Church, Greer, SCWe all have choices to make when it comes to dealing with unexpected happenings in our lives, happenings that are good or bad. Terry Burlingame has thoughtfully shown how to use Joseph's perspective of seeing God's will in the many different events in his life and choosing acceptance and the choice to glorify God. Terry's own personal story woven through this book is inspiring and will hopefully help many choose to see how God's hand is in their lives, all the time.Casey Kuperus, President, David's House Ministries TERRY BURLINGAME earned a Doctor of Ministry degree in pastoral counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary and is a member of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.

The community was changing. Mayor Frank seized the opportunity and arose to great success. Mayor Frank's opportunity: a change in the attitude of Florence about growth and development symbolized by the new Civic Center, funding potential from the new Drs. Bruce and Lee Foundation, the significant occurrence of concurring presidents of the Florence Darlington Technical College and the Francis Marion University, and a potent group of six supporters and advisors recruited into his kitchen cabinet.

Northern Midwest winters are often as harshly bitter and confining as the iron bars of the old Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis. In the fall of 1887, three brothers were inmates there. It was an era of notorious outlaws, but unlike the gangs of Jesse James or Cole Younger, the story behind these brothers has been lost to history-until now. Theirs is a complex story of passion, betrayal, danger, heartbreak, and tremendous loss. Trials ensued. Convictions followed. Sentences passed. Justice would be served . . . but was it?
