Power to Live is an expression of Dr. Adkinss life application ministry. So many Christians live beneath the privileges afforded to us through Jesus Christ. We either settle for them or we give in to the stress and pressures of the world, denying ourselves the victorious life and kingdom authority given to us by our Lord. This book was essentially written for Christian Church members who, for whatever reason, are not standing upon the foundation of the promises of Jesus. John 10:10 serves as our mission statement from Jesus to live more abundantly. This is not a call for opulent or vulgar wealth but a call to victorious living through Jesus Christ. While we will certainly have our struggles, Dr. Adkins believes that we are called to be overcomers of the world, as Jesus has overcome the world. Power to Live offers examples and lessons for every believer to live successfully.

We all have those moments where we encounter pain, grief, and struggles and wonder why God would allow this. We have heard those semitheological platitudes about our struggles and questions. Author Julie Ann Allen experienced those when her husband of fourteen years was buried alive on a work site. Julie Ann learned what it was to stand at a crossroad generated by tragedy and make a choice. That moment was a defining moment in her life. She could either ignore God and blame him for the tragedy or rely on God to sustain her, transform her, and reconstruct her life as she passed through this profound tragedy. Julie Ann writes about Gods voice, provisions, and how she eventually chose divine happiness by the hand of God. If you have ever asked any of these questions, Where was God? Why did God allow this? Why cant I hear God? then reading You Only Think God Is Silent is a wonderful place to discover ways you can turn to God and hear the answers to those questions.

It is the highest order of love a person can experience and it is the only love that will impart the highest sense of value and worth to your life.

Whether youre a believer or nonbeliever, let this book uncover the true nature and heart of the one who knows you better than you know yourself and lift you to a place of honor, significance and purpose that far exceeds anything you can imagine.

"e;Author Hoefling (Journey to God, 2010) seamlessly combines her extraordinary mastery of early biblical tales with a spirit of inventive creativity, weaving a story that both embellishes but also preserves the original story... a gripping account that only deepens an inherited tale about the birth of mankind and about good and evil."e; -Kirkus ReviewsAkliah, a daughter of Adam and Eve, has grown up at the foot of the holy mountain where the Garden of Eden lies.

There is a bell that hangs on the wall in the chemo room. Patients get to ring this bell when all their rounds of chemo are completed. They ring the bell with such glee and joy. Chemo is finished, and life can carry on. I hate that bell. I know that sounds foolish, but I really, really, really hate that bell. The doctors told me the second time my breast cancer returned that it had metastasized to my bones and lymph system and so it was incurable. I will never get to ring it unless God chooses to do a miracle. Instead I sit in the chemo room and stare at the bell and smile when others ring it. Some days I want to take the bell and throw it out the closest window, and other times it takes all I have to not go up and ring it and ring it some more. I am not sure if I would be ringing it in hope or defiance. Such foolishness, but I hate hearing that bell ring. I smile, cheer, and clap when someone else rings the bell, but inside I hurt. The bell makes me angry, and I sit and ask God why. Why not me? Why? I am sure that everyone can relate to something in their life they have wanted to do so badly but cant. It may be a foolish desire, but it is part of who we are.

If we regard life as a school where we have the opportunity to grow in love toward ourselves and toward others as well as to learn from our mistakes, The Holy Bible serves as a textbook to guide us on this journey. For each chapter of the Old and New Testaments, I have written a sentence or two to indicate how the chapter has enlightened or inspired me. In sharing these insights, I hope to encourage you, dear reader, to use the Bible as a teaching tool and guide in lifes journey. The Bible illustrates not only human shortcomings but also inspires hope that allows us to move from fear to love, from a sense of scarcity to a sense of abundance, from a sense of shame to a sense of peace, from a sense of anger to a sense of forgiveness, and from a sense of separation to a sense of oneness. Some readers may want to embark on a program of daily Bible reading, turning afterward to A Bible Blanket for assurance and inspiration. Other readers may simply want to read A Bible Blanket as a summary of the good news offered in The Holy Bible. Either way, may this book provide blessed assurance of Gods unconditional love.

This historical novel purports to take place shortly after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Judea, somewhere around 33 AD after Jesus had sent His disciples into the world. He instructed them to preach the Good News of Salvation to everyone they met. Dedicated and sincere men and women rose to the occasion and, often at great risk to themselves, took the Gospel all over the Roman world.Drawing liberally from British folklore, actual historical legend, and using some of the familiar names from The Bible, this story suggests one way that God might have ensured that the Gospel was brought to Wales and its people.As in any good novel, there are heroes and adversaries which weave the threads of the story together. The Welsh warrior, Caradog ap Bran, is our hero. It is imagined that he might have been joined by a couple of familiar people from the Biblical record to bring the Good News to Wales. Interposing an element of the supernatural into the story adds a layer of intrigue to the novel and proposes that we have been in an invisible spiritual battle ever since Time began.It is my prayer that The Spirit of God will then take the seed that has been planted though this story of fiction, sprinkled with doses of reality and use it for His glory, creating in the reader an interest to find out more from the Source and The Message of the Holy Bible.
