Internal lies exist within each of us, obscured, denied, or resisted, however resident nevertheless. Some use various forms of behavior modification in an attempt to overcome their dysfunctions. Others insist upon acceptance of their mindsets and actions believing that this is who they are. And still others resolutely cling to familiar lies about themselves due to unhealthy attachment to them. BROKEN LIES is the story of one such person, Chase Macklin, a former drug dealer, who one day has a vivid vision of himself trapped in the web of a hideous spider making her final spin. Suddenly released by a prodigious hand breaking through the webbing, Chase begins a journey of discovering freedom from tortuous and destructive internal lies. Continually haunted by the mystery of the hand and an accompanying voice, Chase considers results more important than the source of his rescue.

Political and personal crises are woven together with scripture to bring answers to a world in chaos. Shocking at times, controversial for sure, contradictions, discrepancies, inconsistencies, disputes and antitheses do not confuse the bloodwashed! They are the ones who know just know that God is not a celestial Santa Claus. They know, believe and are completely convinced that God loved them so much that He gave His only Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NIV) In this day of anarchy and confusion, fraud and lies, nuances and applied relativity, the words of Jesus should ring loud and clear: Those of you who scorn this playing around with the devil that gets paraded as profundity, be assured Ill not make life any harder for you than it already is. Hold fast till I come! (Revelation 2:24-25 MSG) Write It on My Heart is a penetrating and insightful read.

This book explains how one perceives their own life. This perspective may be completely void of truth and full of misconceptions. You will discover how God intervenes in your life when you don't even realize it. Even Christians can be deceived. You will read how I was walking alone with insecurities not knowing God was using my insecurities to advance His will in my life. You will learn that the still small voice that spoke to me as a child I never hardened my heart to. This has helped me in every step of my life. I learned that God will use you if you have a handicap. The goal is to follow that still small voice. Sometimes when you are over confident about your own abilities it is very easy to trust in your understanding. This is using human wisdom instead of God's leading hand. I hope that this book will teach you to trust in the still small voice and let God direct your paths. Trust and obey for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.

Our life's journey takes us through many different valleys and atop many mountains! We must completely trust God to guide us in each part of these journeys. This book "e;Inspirational Messages on Life's Journey"e; has been in the works for ten years. Little did I know when God spoke to me and told me to start writing and sending out monthly newsletters through our ministry, Sweet Aroma Ministry, that one day the articles would be compiled into a book. The articles were inspired by the different life's journey, we have experienced when we were atop the mountains or deep in the valleys. One can only speak and write, what one knows and experiences. My prayer for each of you is that somewhere hidden in the recesses of this book, you discover yourself. I pray one of my experiences will enable you to find guidance and understanding in your next step in your lifes journey.

The Holy Spirit encouraged me to write a very simple book; aimed at people that have not heard much about the Bible, God, or Jesus. The goal is to reach people and to bring them to Jesus Christ. This book is a simple to understand summary of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible is always looking toward and revealing Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, Jesus is predicted. In the New Testament, Jesus is revealed. In the Old Testament expectations and anticipations abound. In the New Testament, these expectations of Jesus are fulfilled. What is concealed in the Old Testament is revealed in the New Testament. What is contained in the Old Testament is explained in the New Testament. The Bible is all about Jesus, the Savior of the world. Each Chapter of this book contains four (4) sections about the chapters subject: Old Testament Story New Testament Story A current day example Hymn Christ for the world, for the world needs Christ (Quote from Eric Liddell) God Bless the readers of this book! Check out Don's second book; "e;The Devil's Playbook; a Book About Jesus"e;

Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding are similar to finding a treasure chest full of diamonds and nuggets of gold. How can anyone not take advantage of such an abundance of wealth? In the midst of so much confusion, one needs to take the time to believe that there is wealth in the word of God and from his people to overcome such daily adversaries. We are challenged in our everyday lives, but may you take that first step of faith living for God and in helping others with love where there is failure. I know many books have been written with different opinions and advice by different writers about God and life. As the author of this book, Ive tried to give some simple wisdom and understanding in so many areas of our lives, making it simple to understandand, of course, with some sense of humor. As one who goes alone through the maze of life, sometimes it requires us to learn quickly in order to find the key to the cross. So where advice isnt available, we are tempted, get off course, and learn the hard way, which gets more complicated if we become stubborn. Just like the whole armor of God protects every part of our spiritual and physical bodies, taking some good advice and motivation will help us progress as a child of God. For those who love to make things possible by taking advice, may this book help you to change your route and save you time. There are over six thousand thoughts of my personal sayings, which can be used as a text starter for a sermon or a conservation piece for inspiration. Please enjoy them; youve struck it rich with some great wisdom.Joe Cervantes.

Titles and talents are NOT prerequisites for service. Each believer is uniquely and individually gifted by God and has the capacity and capability to minister to others. Jesus Christ in His mandate to the His followers said go ye; there are no special titles or designations tied to this mandate other that those who believe, Mark 16:14-20. The main objective of this book is to encourage each believer to recognize the platform God has given them to accomplish the Great Commission. This platform may be a career, vocation, business, home environment or department in a church. This platform is what I refer to as your pulpit. Each believer has one. Once you have recognized your pulpit, I discuss how both natural gifts, talents and spiritual gifts can be applied collectively to minister to others. The harvest is still plenteous. Having been already empowered by Jesus, let us join together in gathering the harvest. Go ahead and minister wherever you are!

This is Barbaras story, a story of growing up in a dysfunctional home, later, promiscuity, divorce, grief and ultimately, extreme mental illness.

For Barbara, mental illness is a thing of the past, because faith in Christ helped her change her focus and led her into the light.

If you have ever experienced a deep sadness over the loss of a close loved one, you will recognize the poems in The Wounds of Grief as snapshots of many of the intense emotions that you felt but perhaps were never quite able to describe in words. Instead of allowing himself to be bullied into following societys schedule to get over it and to move on, Jerry Vornholt has used his poems to warmly recall how many of the very ordinary events that he and his wife took for granted have now become some of his most precious memories. Jerry and his wife, Sharon, frequently referred to themselves as a team throughout the forty-eight years that they had the privilege to be together. Several of the poems in this book focus on his intense desire for that relationship to be continued in heaven.

This leads to deeper roots that result in healing, wisdom, and a natural production of the fruit of the Spirit. This book is designed to focus on one person at a time, one moment at a time.

Dr. Jim Henry Pastor Emeritus First Baptist Orlando President Southern Baptist Convention 1994-1996An ancient prophecy foretells of Jesus returning to earth and setting up his kingdom. When a man suddenly appears in Jerusalem and proceeds to conquer the nations of the world in one epic battle, people question if this was he. Some claimed the man was actually an alien and used advanced technology to win the fight. Others claimed he was, indeed, Jesus and that his appearance was the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy. Either way, he established his rule over the nations of the earth, and people began calling his kingdom The Seventh Empire. What would the world be like under his reign? The new ruler named Jerusalem as his capital, and built the city into one the likes of which the world had never seen before.

Some were not satisfied and began to think of rebellion. How would the rebellion end, and what would mankinds fate now be? Was there to be another war, another empire, or would The Seventh Empire and its leader survive?

I believe there is a God, a devil, a heaven, and a hell. Every night from the earliest age I can recall I was in hell, a war zone, battling for my survival, running from the fiery flames of crashing, burning airplanes from all directions, the horror of no protection from the evil trying to consume me alive.
