FAMINE DAY APPROACHES demonstrates how the author has successfully dealt with the obstacles, and needs in her life during many years of experiences. Travel with her as she learned to define the need of patience from defeatism, a lack of communication from a lack of faith, accepting wise discernment when she was emotionally disturbed, and knowing the inspiration given by God from her own conflicting interpretations. The author depicts how she learned to differentiate between the approaches which endorse Christian values and common-sense ethics from the approaches that can bring about a reproach of disgrace and shame. In addition to revealing the authors personal problems and triumphs, FAMINE DAY APPROACHES consists of sixty-plus fictional short stories, described as paintings. It, also, discloses the remarkable experience that initiated her depictions of human nature in writing. The narratives are descriptive, dialogical problems which are solved with good definitive, principled solutions. Her years of experiences add dynamisms to the variety of mindsets referencing potentials of human nature. Learn how to become keenly aware of the many charted, and honorable privileges available when a personal famine occurs in ones own life. Discover how famine day abundances can offset the famine day scarcities with surprised amazement. Although a shortage of Godly discernment is prevalent in todays world, it need not be. Besides having access to the Holy Scriptures a well-stocked warehouse of famine day bread is identifiable within this work which closely relates to an eminent masterpiece which ardently addresses the same subjects.

The never before told true story of a group of multi-racial, multi-denominational pastors in a Katrina-ravaged New Orleans. Not unlike Old Testament times, odds were stacked against them in such an impossible way that the outcome would seem completely hopeless and utter defeat inevitable were it not for God. With division so deep within Gods church in the Crescent City, it could have easily sunk to its death in the flood waters, but when God appeared inevitable defeat became certain victory. Ordinary people began to accomplish extraordinary things. Miracles became common place and hope was restored. God had not forgotten The City That Care Forgot.

Baron and Rob arrived at Butner Federal Correctional Institution on the same day. They soon discovered that they were both Christians with a passionate zeal for the things of God. They began spending a lot of time together in the word of God. They experienced a higher quality and caliber of revelation than they ever had individually. Just as Jesus sent His disciples/apostles out by twos, Baron and Rob were sent on a specific commission. The message, word and ministry was simple: Love. The Body of Christ was being called higher, but this spiritual reformation could only take place upon a solid foundation of love. Each chapter depicting an experience on Baron and Robs journey is followed by a chapter of revelation they received, or a kingdom key.This book is not for comfortable or complacent Christians, but for true disciples who yearn for Gods kingdom to come. Also for His will to be done through them, on earth as it is in heaven. The Keys To The Kingdom- Book One: Love is autobiographical, spiritually full of impact, and the first of a trilogy chronicling a tow-year period of illumination, inspiration, training and kingdom service.

Malcolm Heddings commentary on Marks Gospel captures the fast moving pace of Jesuss ministry in the Galilee before He ascended to Jerusalem for His final and fateful celebration of the Passover. Jesus is truly about His Fathers business as He calls His Disciples, proclaims the good news of the Gospel to the poor, heals the sick and casts out demons and embarks on a preaching circuit designed to reach the region with the message of Gods love. Most important of all is the fact that Hedding demonstrates how Jesuss teaching and deliverance ministry is relevant to every Christian today. This is not just a commentary that gives background information and the meaning of words in the original language; no it is a devotional study of the life of Christ, as we know it, thus enriching the reader and encouraging him or her to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus.If ever a book is a must read it is this one by Malcolm Hedding. In it he gives an in-depth, concise and clear understanding of Marks Gospel for meditation on Jesuss ministry, which will inspire the reader. Eira GoldsworthyEira Goldsworthy is an author, artist and illustrator working freelance for many international publishing houses.Anyone who knows Malcolm Hedding knows that he loves the Bible and the Gospel message is the foundation of his work as a biblical expositor. Furthermore, Heddings many years spent in Israel have enriched his grasp of the Evangelist Marks historical record. For these reasons and many more, Understanding Marks Gospel is a treasure.Lela GilbertLela Gilbert is the author of Saturday People, Sunday People: Israel through the Eyes of a Christian Sojourner.

What if?What if there is truly work prepared by God in advance for you to do? What if, by living intentionally outside of yourself, you could be used to bring hope and transformation to another person? What would you do?Seen: Hope Prevails is a story that chronicles the transformative power and journey of hope. Its a story of love that reverberates among dramatically different lives across two continents. On a journey which began many years ago, one broken-hearted girl came to realize that she was seenby God. This awareness not only transformed her life, but ultimately led her on an unbelievable course to do the work that God had prepared in advance for her to do.My boys will likely never jump on a trampoline, go to an amusement park, run through sprinklers or have a lot of toys to occupy them. There are many things that most of us take for granted that they will never know. But as I think upon their faces and the lives they are living today, what they have is all that any of us really need: to be cared for, to be loved, and to be seen.Karen Michaelle

Andrea Hogan had always dreamed of being a High School English teacher, but with the teacher glut of the 1970s she chose a different path into government administration. The one thing the government job allowed her was to retire early to return to college to complete her credentials to teach. Suddenly she finds herself with a job in a small school district in southeastern Iowa and an apartment in a renovated school house. The last thing she expected was to find that her new department head and upstairs neighbor would be the man she had shared an apartment with during their senior year in college.

Although Brave was a surprise four-week premature baby, he weighed way more than many of the full-time babies. Thankfully, he was in great shape and was able to come home like a normal baby. He was a happy boy hitting time lines until he hit age one. At that point, the Pediatrician referred Brave to a program where Kalee finally realized how behind he was in many parts of the body. From that time until he went to kindergarten, she would soon learn so many different procedures and different types of doctors, specialists, therapists, tests, and diagnoses; many times the hard way. Insurance wouldnt help her, they would just put off paying for a procedure. Helping get Brave the most assistance and diagnosis was only the beginning. Kalee would have some of the same procedures to keep track of her own serious medical issues and her other son, Timbers, diagnosis. Having God lead her each day and provide her with hope, love, and grace truly kept her going. Without the Lord at her side, she may not have seen that God selected her to have two special needs kids. Its a blessing she doesnt deserve and just prays that God shows her each day what she needs to be doing for Him.

A Letter to My DaughterMy daughter, My one of a kind princess, I knew you before you were conceived. I knit you together in your mothers womb and brought you forth on the day you were born. I chose you when I planned creation. You are not a mistake; I took great care and thought when I made you. I love you unconditionally. Prepare to start loving you again. Prepare to be made over from the inside out.Know that I have a plan for you; plans to prosper you, not to harm you, I have plans to give you a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11 NET). Prepare to move from a place of brokenness to wholeness. Prepare to be empowered, restored, and set free.Love you alwaysYour Daddy( Jesus)

We are longing to find something that will truly satisfy our hearts. This longing leads us into many situations and circumstances. In the end, anything we give our hearts to within this world will find its end. There is an eternal light that reveals our need and helps us understand those longings within us. Within this light, we find what will never fade away, always satisfying the human soul. What we desire most is love, but there is only one lasting love for humanity.When the sun is setting and the dark creeps in, whats revealed is only a shadow of who we really are. We are not fully known by others within this fleeting light, and many people find themselves living in the sunsets. We hope the oncoming night and passing light will reveal a bit of our beauty but hide what is perceived unacceptable or, in many cases, too real. Our spots, our imperfections, have driven our entirety into hiding. Its a humanity problem. We hide. Weve always hidden. Weve found solace in the darkness, but our worth is not lost, and our value has not faded away. We are fully known, even in the darkest of nights. The life we live now is vulnerable to darkness, but there is no need to hide for acceptance. We all have our spots, we all have hurt, but what remains hidden from humanity will not find shelter from the light. When someone is close enough to see the struggle within and provides a way out, its our opportunity to take hold of what we need and begin to trust.

Let my inspirational story of Gods power and love impact your own spiritual life!

The Nativity Stories from Matthew and Lukes gospels have endured through the centuries, but the way Christmas is celebrated has been dramatically reshaped. In the modern era the story of Christs birth has been overshadowed by fanciful tales of Santa, Frosty, and Rudolph. Holiday customs designed to enhance the enjoyment of Christmas have often come to obscure the message of the Saviors birth. The Christmas season now exists primarily to foster the urge to shop rather than a desire to pause and reflect on the good news of Christs coming. Today the Nativity Stories are seldom considered as a whole, and the theological riches of these sacred texts have regrettably been reduced to The Christmas Story. The biblical narratives that have inspired poets and artists for centuries warrant more careful study. Shivering Babe, Glorious Lord surveys the Nativity Stories through twenty centuries of Christian tradition: their composition by Matthew and Luke; their relationship to the larger biblical narrative; their profound influence on theology and worship; their modern decline and the reemergence of Christmas in a secular guise in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Readers yearning for a more Christ-centered Christmas will find helpful resources here.

I cant change how people choose to see things. I can choose to forgive. I may even be the lucky one. As the scapegoat I was sent out and away, shunned by all sides and made to carry the guilt of the entire situation on my head. But I was sent away, out into the wilderness where I cried, I mourned, and I was able to heal instead of harbor resentment and hatred. From there I began to rebuild, and pray for forgiveness. I would pray so that I could forgive. Then I began to feel restored and my Father in heaven began to help me see myself the way He does. I dont have to carry the pain; I only need from time to time to explain the scars. Hopefully, in doing so, I can prevent some of historys mistakes from invading our tomorrows Its our turn now, put down the rocks, share the gift.
