How is the God of heaven showing Himself to the world? How has He shown Himself to you? Sweet Revelation is one womans revelation story, a narrative memoir written to people in all walks of life. Author Davida Blanton describes times throughout her life when God showed Himself real to her. In her darkest moments of fear, disappointment, and grief, Gods arm brought comfort to Davida and healed her brokenness, wrapping her in truth, embracing her in love, protecting her in light. The word revelation means an unveiling. When something is unveiled before our eyes, it is made visible. When eternal things are unveiled before us, allowing us to see in the spiritual realm, our lives are affected in profound ways. We are changed. This happens differently for each person, because every man and woman has unique needs and experiences. This book tells how its happened for one woman and invites you to consider how its happened in your own life. Jesus said, The person who has my commands and keeps them really loves me; and whoever really loves me...I will love him and will show Myself to him. I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him. (John 14:21 AMP) Revelation of the sweetest kind. I anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. -Words of Christ recorded in Revelation 3:18 (NKJV)

There are so many religions and so many methods of worship: Can we all be right? Can we all be wrong? Can only one be right? This book does not attack Christianity. I always clarify that. It aims to promote the PRACTICE of Christianity at the expense of the RELIGION of Christianity. Its a fine line, but easy to understand if you see that Christianity is a way of life and not an exclusive club of individuals. For many years I went to church regularly and yet, sometimes I woke up feeling like nothing in the world made any sense. Everything seemed so complicated when it came to discussions on who was on the right path to worshipping God and whether or not my worship was acceptable to Him. I often wondered why God desired a relationship with me and yet, seemed to cloak Himself in impenetrable mystery. I couldnt make sense of why it was so much easier to go astray than to find Him until one morning when I felt the scales fall from my eyes. Every fibre of legacy knowledge Ive held from childhood was shaken and thrown down and replaced with an absolutely empty mind that God has been filling slowly. Emptiness had never felt so fulfilling, but now, it did.I had not actually come to the realisation of my much sought after answers. On the contrary, I suddenly had the right questions. Those questions set me on a path that led me straight to the intentions of the Almighty. Everything suddenly made sense and this book attempts to share some of my realisations. I also attempt to take you on the same questioning journey Ive embarked on. There are 3 cardinal things I believe you must appreciate in order to understand Gods intentions for mankind. In studying His word and seeking His face, all His intentions, actions and commands fulfill these 3 things.Since the creation of man: God has had one sole mission: RECONCILIATION He has had only one obstacle to achieving that intention: SIN He commands only one thing once the obstacle is surmounted: LOVE If you truly seek Him with an open heart, then you will certainly find Him and thats a promise from Him, not me.

In this simple yet moving book, written from a heart child's perspective, the author explores an explanation for the greatest question arising during times of sufferingWhy?

Stanley Martins life begins with his strong Christian upbringing in St. Johns, Newfoundland. As a young man, he was asked to be the wireless operator on Dr. Wilfred Grenfells hospital ship, the Strathcona, which served the deep-sea fishermen and their families on the beautiful but rugged Labrador coast.At twenty-six years old, armed only with his medical degrees, a handful of surgical instruments, and his faith, Martin set off with his wife Margaret, a nurse, into the wilds of Manchuria. It was a land of tigers, bandits, epidemics, and superstition. In the midst of chaos arose a hospital, a symbol of hope for the injured and sick for the entire region. Built with Martins leadership and ingenuity, the hospital became a fortunate presence when medical help was needed during Koreas Independence Movement. His strong faith in God, his medical skills, and the faithful support of his wife are revealed in Martin of Manchuria by his daughter, author Margaret Martin Moore.Praise for Martin of ManchuriaWhat a wonderful testament to Gods faithfulness and revelation of his love and healing through the lives of your father and mother. Thank you for sharing a well-written, highly engaging, and God glorifying account of the lives of his servants!Heidi Linton, CFK Executive DirectorYour father was a most interesting man and an effective missionary for Christ. His achievements were marvelous. Your prose carries the reader along and maintains interest throughout.Dr. Kenneth Kinghorn, Professor, Church History and Historical Theology, Asbury Theological Seminary

Has Johns Gospel ever seemed an enigmaa wondrous and enticing enigma, but nonetheless puzzling? SENT provides a resourceful entre into Johns Gospel, that will be of encouragement to pastors, teachers, and small group leaders alike.As a resource to Johns Gospel and the Letters of John, SENT seeks to combine the concluding statement of John 20 with Jesus affirmation of John 17: But these [signs] have been written in order that you might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, the One who said, As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. Given this combination, SENT addresses two questions: to whom was Jesus sent and with what message? Moreover, through the entre of John 17, Jesus I AM statements resonate profoundly, even as the voice of Johns Gospel echoes throughout the Letters of John. SENT provides Scriptural texts in Greek and English, study questions, and meditations. The format is simple: divided into workable parts, it follows the course of the academic year in conjunction with the Christian calendar. It may be used devotionally or as an aid to teaching and preaching.

As a child, Houston Nutt looked like a typical tow-headed boy, with blue eyes, a wide forehead, and a cowlick. Even so, there was something unusual about him; he was born into a deep deaf culture, and sign language was his first language. This would be the focus of his life.In Youre the Best! author Emogene Nutt, Houstons wife, pays tribute to this man, who was born during the depths of the Great Depression and eventually became one of the leading figures in expanding opportunities for young deaf students at the Arkansas School for the Deaf. In this memoir, she weaves together treasured family memories, insights, and observations from external sources that place the life of Houston and his family in historical perspective. Emogene reflects on Houstons accomplishments including leading the ASD basketball team to national prominence and bringing to national attention the athletic skills of legendary player Bennie Fuller.Inspiring, heartbreaking, informative, and humorous, this collection of stories honors the life of Houston Nutt who will always be remembered by his signature phrase, Youre the best, which he used to encourage countless students. He died in 2005.

The Providence and Grace of God is author Karen Jo Smith's love letter to the Lord. It presents a story of faith that began in a shelter for battered women, where she discovered the miraculous grace of God. When she found herself in the shelter, she asked God to reveal himself to her through his love and he did! Words are insufficient to describe the reality of the miracles that she has been so privileged to experience at the very hands of God. In this collection of true stories, she recounts the many acts of kindness that she has experienced through God's grace. Her touching tales of God's miraculous love in the face of so many challenges have truly uplifted her spirit and have provided her with a life purpose. She has made a humble attempt to glorify God by writing about her challenges and struggles. She has also come to know that through prayer and a strong faith in Jesus, all things are possible. It is the desire of her heart that you know that no matter how far you think you have fallen, and no matter how unworthy you may feel, God truly loves you. Her stories encourage you to take a leap of faith and simply trust in The Providence and Grace of God.

Ashlyn Lark was a young woman driven by her quest for romance and true love. Her expectations led her down a lonely path of pain and disappointment. When tragedy struck amid the existing turmoil, her fragile heart was shattered. Through Gods power and grace, she found the strength to pick up the pieces and move on. She continued on a journey of faith as Gods love and light illuminated the way. Each step was a lesson learned and a challenge to put her trust in the Masters plan. Understand that challenges are stepping stones that can draw us closer to the heart of God. Persevere and have faith in trials and suffering. Learn to wait for Gods timing. Beware of the consequences of your own choices. There is life after the death of a child. Know that Gods presence and peace can sustain you through any circumstance.In a time when there is so much pain and woundedness in our culture, Ashlyn Lark, in her book, Paradise Seems So Far Away, has presented her life story with creativity and a perspective that points to the only answer, a loving God. Into a description of her circumstances, she weaves her own poetry and songs that express so well her heart's journey. I feel that other women who are experiencing difficult situations in their own lives, will be encouraged by Ashlyn's honest words, her creativity, but most especially her presentation of her loving Father, Who promises to "e;never leave you or for sake you"e; (Hebrews 13:5) and Who "e;... is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble"e; (Psalm 46:1). What could be more uplifting and comforting to know that our God is in control of our lives, even in the darkest times!Rosemary Barnes, author and speaker

Intrigued by the piles of stones, rocks, and boulders that cover the landscape of the Holy Land, author Virginia Bates Kidd begins a deeper quest for a pattern within these emblems. As she journeys through the Scriptures, Kidd discovers how God transformed these simple facets of nature into timeless messages of love and grace, building onto a wide gamut of human emotions to reach the deepest recesses of our hearts. Kidd sprinkles pebbles of her own imagination onto familiar stories: the clink of stone upon stone resounds with startling life while Abraham builds his altar with Stones of Sorrow. The stones beneath the feet of the adulterous woman roll with a life of their own as she walks away from the temple. The trajectory of The First Stone is infused with the jealousy that drove Cains hand to murder. Pride and ambition pile up the bricks of the Tower of Babel, and Stones of Courage shows the earth shaking under a giants armor-clad weight, while David prevails with large faith and small stones. Throughout her exploration, Kidd winds down each story with a heartfelt devotion. She hopes these biblical stories will stir your imagination and warm your heart. Says Kidd: Seek your own concordance and go to work. Gods Word is a precious jewel, and He wants to enrich your life withit.

This is the story of a young widow who journeys with her aging mother-in-law to find the home the old woman left behind many years earlier. The road they travel is harsh and often not navigable, yet with faith, love, and loyalty, Ruth presses on and finds her true home and the unexpected love of a lifetime along the way. This is her story. This is their story. She is the perfect blend of courage and humility. Her faithful heart and poetic sensibilities draw the admiration of the townspeople, most especially Bo Kinsman, the man who owns everything from here to sunset. He is too young for the old and too old for the young and painfully aware that he is the last of his line. He is strong and dependable, pragmatic and alone. Their story is a divine one, with spiritual qualities played out in suits of human flesh. The ache to belong, the longing to be loved, and the overarching need to be in the center of the Lords perfect will gives rise to delight, personal meaning, and satisfaction. Walk the streets of town with Ruth, and meet the men and women she encounters.

One day on Christian radio, I heard a minister talking about the ignorance in the Church today. He said they may know the stories of the Bible, but they do not see the big picture. That is what gave me the idea to write Gods Plan beats the devils plan. I saw the story as a format upon which all the Bible stories, as well as our lives, are built. Concepts are taught such as: we have a choice to do right or wrong, we can worship or rebel, there are consequences to wrong actions, the devil is competing with God for His creation, Jesus came from heaven to earth and back, and God sometimes says no. I saw the book as something children and adults could read and enjoy together, and also as a witnessing tool. After making copies and sending them to my grandchildren, as well as other relatives and friends who have children, I received enthusiastic responses and suggestions to publish. Children are given stories and pictures about monsters, but we dare not tell them about the devil. Children should know what really happened to cause this world to be the way it is, but God has a plan, and He wins in the end.

This book is written to help children understand Alzheimers and create memories with the ones they love.
