Once upon a time, in a starlit room, you were somewhere else. A place where unbelievable bread couldn't stand to be. Not being near the fluffy bread filled pan, you longed for a warm slice slathered in buttery cream, rich in smoothness of texture. So far away from your taste buds' reverie, you settled for some burnt toast and jam.......Don't. You'll not regret one bite of the words written on any of the pages found within. In this book you will see that all stand in need of a new vision in order to believe that every person is more deep and different than even they, themselves, think. Emotions will be dissected with words to their point of origin. Feelings will be defined past original scope. You will understand further meaning behind what is so easily overlooked due to the careless speed at which society pushes you to live life. Many of the pieces contrived here are actual experiences that have personally been endured, to some you may feel a close relation. A plethora of the feelings written are free thoughts that you may find have made their way to your brain in the short moments before a restful sleep, or possibly during your travel across long distances. There is a sense of relation found when reading these words that unifies individuals regardless of race, situation, experience, and overall difference. Keeping an open mind will come more naturally as a result of reading this book. Inspiration is something lacking when it comes to self respect. The words in this book help rekindle what amount of self respect you may feel eludes you.

A glimpse of what it means to be another, fully and completely, is found in these poetic streams. You'll learn what it is to laugh until you've lost your breath, you'll also know what kind of feeling it takes to cause one to weep and not care to wipe away the tears. This book focuses on rebuilding the pers

In 2554, the World is Coming to its End, unless an impossible mission through 600 years of time travel succeeds. Maternal instinct knows no boundaries, including the nano-neural-net intravenously installed in Dannia Weston''s mind to repress her identity, allowing her to perform a mission 300 years before her time. Transported to the year 1954, Dannia becomes a woman with a mid-twentieth century persona, college educated with an aptitude for mechanical invention. Due to her work during the war, she is employed by the U.S. government on a secret project. But what no one knows-including Dannia or those who sent her back to tinker with the mechanical past to reduce future pollution-is what might happen should she become emotionally involved in 1954. The 2254 science team programmed the nano-net to prevent the possibility of pregnancy, but each person reacts to strong emotional stimuli differently, and using birth control not available in 1954 is out of the question. When Dannia falls in love with Peter Hersh and becomes pregnant, her hormones erode a small section of the nano-chained network that stabilizes her new identity, triggering a mild memory rebirth...and threatening her mission and the fate of the world.

Hope. It's a driving force in our lives that is difficult to describe with mere words. All that we are, from those daily decisions to our most coveted dreams-are all derived from what we ultimately hope to achieve in life, and who, we so desperately want to become. When was the last time you hoped for something that seemed impossible? Or perhaps, you've ditched hope all together. The fear of one more disappointment is too much, or maybe deep down, you feel completely unworthy. This story is about a life devoid of hope. But it's also a story about what can happen when you give your life and dreams to the One who can give you more than you ever deemed possible. Woven into this journey of hope fulfilled is forgiveness, restoration, and receiving the love of the Heavenly Father. It's this remarkable love that ultimately surpasses anything one could ever imagine-or hope for. This is Pastor Tim Wimberly's story, about the backside of hope. Not many pastor's have the guts to share their lives with such honesty and detail. But Tim's purpose becomes very clear as you read his story. The first half chronicles his life from the start, and shows how many times life looks great on the outside, but inside, people are really hurting. But by the time Tim was five years old, there was no hiding that life was careening out of control--and fast. It's not that other people don't live through some of what Tim did, but most people don't live through as much--and come out alive. Tim came very close to ending his life. But the morning after that awful evening, Tim walked out of a church a changed person. In the second half of the book he shares in detail his journey through life from age twenty to fifty, and some things he's learned about life, through both success and failure. He shares how he met his wife, and became a father to five sons. Most of all, he shares how he started to give love and life away to others, as opposed to making everyone's life around him a living H

From what he observed across the years, Harley shares several examples of successful endeavors that have had a significant impact on Methodism in Western North Carolina. These pieces of history provide important and helpful information, and are well worth reading. More important than that, his years of experience with the Reynolds leadership ministries allow him to reflect on leadership qualities that enabled these projects to achieve success-to move from vision to reality. He focuses on three simple but profound principles of leadership apparent in each of his examples: Vision, Plan, and Implementation. He describes this as the "VPI Factor." Whatever the project, when all three are present, success is virtually assured. When any one is missing nothing happens. His insights on leadership are priceless.

Although her new husband is a highly respected member of the community, Katerina soon discovers that, in private, he is an abusive alcoholic. A tragic farm accident and an encounter at a mental hospital raise Katerina's suspicions about her husband's past and the fate of his late wife. Frightened for her life, she is desperate to escape. Leaving Viktor might be a viable choice if she wasn't penniless and if she hadn't grown to love the boy. Riddled by guilt, Katerina must choose between saving herself and protecting her stepson.

This is a study guide designed to accompany the book of the same name published a year prior. As the reader delves into this study, they will discover that God has called them something much better than the labels the world gives.

This book looks at the unique design that all humans have. A body designed by God, that at times will break down and malfunction. The author, because of multiple illnesses {some of which, he almost died three times}, turned his faith totally towards God and His promise to heal him and has experienced many miracles of complete healing.

This book gives us a look at of the ways that God views the human race (especially the redeemed). We are called the planting of the Lord. We will be able to see the care that the Lord gives us, is much the same as that of a gardener.
