"....This read is real, raw, relevant, funny, and purely refreshing. The way he tackles the myths to some of the most divisive subjects in modern day Christianity is bold; yet simple, and powerfully engaging. Pastor Burnard Scott Jr. Bayside Community Church Bradenton, Florida "....if you are tired of trying to live the Christian life and all the how-to's so commonly and smoothly delivered through the socially acceptable voices, then here in these pages is real hope. Jed paints vivid pictures with fresh metaphors like an artist breaking out into a new style painting with fire and gasoline. It is raw and fresh and powerful - just like the gospel! If you are hungry for the REAL meat of the Word, you will see as with new eyes the light of the glorious gospel that you may have missed right under your nose. I highly recommend this book to the hungry BELIEVER!" Pastor Lee Prock Agape Christian Church Stephen's City, Virginia "Jed is a faithful steward of the mysteries of God. He loves both the heights and the depths of the Word of God, but you will never find him in shallow waters. With sharp prophetic insight and powerful revelation, reading his experience is like drinking deep spring water and breathing the pure air of the mountain top." Pastor Razvan Mihailescu River of Life Church Bucharest, Romania Jedidiah Jones is the average "Joe" that is easily relatable to almost every culture of people throughout America and abroad. He was born into a poor southern family without social privilege or a fatherly influence. As a fledgling teenager he was thrown into the inner-city culture of Cleveland Ohio where he experienced the real-life Presence of God that moves in the real-life street culture of broken hearts. He continued school in the mid-west and was then reunited with his father in Hawaii where he entered the spiritual "school of hard knocks" through a gauntlet of confusing Church practices; only to discover that personal interaction with the Person of Christ was POWERFUL, but the religious practices of cosmopolitan Christianity was a deadly delusion. After completing a Moody Bible College course, a School of the Prophetic Ministry, and a Construction Business Management Internship he then dared to follow his passions of inspired public speaking, supernatural street ministry, and innovative market/industry creation. Jedidiah is known for his down-to-earth style of preaching and writing; which humbly yet systematically proves that the All-Powerful Love of God is unlimited within anyone who will simply believe. Jedidiah lives in southern Florida with his wife Adriana and their three sons.

Set Apart by Love, for Love, and to Love by author George Amponsem is a work of nonfiction biblical scholarship that explores the narrative of God's love for us as found in the entire scope of Scripture. Amponsem helps Christians and non-Christians understand who God is, the love God has for us, and how God's love affects how we live as a set-apart people. Amponsem surveys the entire Bible to reveal God's story of love for us, exploring God's love through creation, man's relationship with God, and the fall of humanity; God's love shown to the nation of Israel despite their rebellion; and God's love shown through Jesus Christ. Set Apart by Love, for Love, and to Love thus helps readers live out their identity as God's loved children and extend this love to others in our lives, helping them come to know God as well.

This is a book about an ordinary man with an extraordinary destiny. About a journey that no one would willingly go on, unless they truly knew that the end result was worthwhile.

As parents, we will never be prepared to lose our children, but with God's mercy and His help we have now both learned how to find comfort and happiness once again through our grief.

The world around us continues to change at an unprecedented pace, moving ever closer to becoming a global and pluralistic society. How are Christians to faithfully and vigilantly interpret these trends along with other recent events in history? Within this massive tome, Ed Greer takes on these topics and more, addressing how current events taking place in our world today are unmistakably aligned with the Bible and its prophecies. With urgency, he reveals what the Scriptures and its prophecies teach about the world and its final days before the Lord's return to Earth. Even more than this, Ed Greer's magnum opus helps show how Christians must respond to the events around us, seeing the importance and necessity of breaking away from the conformity that the world's system demands. Join him on a journey that will spark a new curiosity and inquisitiveness for you to search the Scriptures and in doing so, be prepared to develop an unshakable conviction that will have you eagerly looking with hope for the Lord's imminent return. "The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge and the ear of the wise seeks understanding." Proverbs 18:15 Ed Greer was born in Washington State and moved to Northern California as a young boy. He likes to say he owes his faith to his grandmother, a Sunday School teacher who taught him about Jesus as a youngster. After studying at various colleges within California, he began his own distribution company that covered the Western United States, retiring in 2007. Ed's real passion throughout these many years has been in serving the people of the Church through Christian trainings, teaching, mission trips, writing and mentoring. With a passion for Biblical, End Times Studies (Eschatology) and its relevance to the contemporary world, he believes there is an urgency for each person, and especially the Christian today to know what the Bible teaches about the future, as well as the present. 'Deceitful Fruit and its Antidote' will bring keen insights and hope for those seeking to understand what the Scriptures foretell about the end times and the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for this generation.

People are measuring themselves against society's beauty standard that is airbrushed. For some people, the opinion of others matter more. A person can be so desperate for acceptance that they don't fully understand the affect it can have on them. They don't see the long-term consequences. They don't see there's a price to be paid for their actions. It can cause them to keep secrets. A person can spend their whole life trying to fix it. Trying to make things right. And that's what happened to me. Life is not about the destination. It's about how you make the journey. And how you make the journey is up to you. I had to learn that what makes me mighty is based on knowing God loves me. I had to be rooted and grounded in the knowledge that God loves me. Knowing that God loves me is my power. Don't allow people to take away your power. Your perception of yourself is how your enemy will see you. God has already written every page of your life. Don't be afraid to turn the page to see the next chapter. A new beginning for you is here! Embrace It! Walk in It! Love It!

Get ready for a life changing experience as God reveals the process that is vital to your Christian walk in the earth. The fall represents the event that created a shift in your life that positioned you on the course to live the life God planned for you to live. This fall is not by coincidence and is not intended for you to lose hope in God, but rather for you to grow in the things of God, starting with trusting his plan for life. "Nothing can stop God's plan for your life" ISAIAH 14:27 "The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." PROVERBS 16:9 Hope, Trust, and Faith are the three components to learning how to not only endure, but to have victory in the ever changing seasons as believers of Jesus Christ. Victory is ours through the resurrected power of Jesus Christ spiritually, but can also be yours in the natural as we live out and complete the course that is set before us. I believe that these mind blowing revelations that God has given me that I am now sharing with you, will motivate you to not give up and equip you for seasons to come! "Identifying your season can help you create boundaries that can guarantee that you will leave that season equipped for the next one! Author, E. Hitchens

There is no denying that life is becoming more difficult with each passing year: for violence, environmental issues and national crises arise, as we try to raise families and be the Christians we hope represents Jesus well to others. Yet to be the Christian that Jesus would be pleased to call His co-heir is achievable if one were to actively seek the truths of the Bible. In the second book by Barry Morgan, (A Thought For Your Walk) the book of Proverbs is used as the foundation for the creation of new, more pertinent proverbs that apply to the situation s we face as people in the last days before Christ return. Described by Barry as "a book to meet up with today's world of thinking for tomorrow's steps in life", (A Thought For Your Walk) offers several words of wisdom that are situated in God's Word while being appropriate to experiences people have today. Barry states that the need for proverbs is due to the ongoing battle between good and bad that started in the time of Adam and Eve, and has only progressed in intensity in recent times. The topics discussed in the book focus on several timely, some controversial, situations: marriage roles designated by God, keeping God above all else, necessity of prayer, remaining fresh in the Bible, and many others. The proverbs are to be the modern-day version of the Bible's Proverbs, seen also as God's guidance of a man's steps as he walks with the Lord. Yes, the times are harsher than ever before now, but (A Thought For Your Walk) is to encourage Christians to remain steadfast in their walks in faith. They are not alone in their paths, as God is always there and always leads the way.

"It was at that moment my time of discipline was beginning, and my heart began to break. The Holy Spirit began to show me that I had for years been so focused on the crowd, on how full the sanctuary was, on competing with other churches, on creating the right atmosphere to grow the church, on succeeding, that I had all but forgotten Him. I had been horizontally focused and I had all but ignored the unseen One in the room. It was in that moment the Lord began a long and sustained period of discipline that was directed toward my heart and my motives." (Chapter 1) "I had gotten trapped in the pressure to produce, the pressure to succeed, and the pressure to build the numbers." (Chapter 2) "Idolatry is that area of your heart that struggles with allowing God to fully determine the consequences of your ministry. Until the Lord began to show me the idols in my heart, I had never considered that a believer could have idols, certainly not a worship leader!" (Chapter 11) The Worship T.R.A.P. discusses very important, but seldom addressed areas of the ministry of worship leading. Each section includes discussion questions designed to create fresh dialogue for the church staff and worship team. This powerful book will be a blessing and encouragement to the pastor and worship leader alike. Tony Pangle has served on staff in music and worship ministries for over twenty-five years in evangelical churches ranging in size from sixty in attendance to 3,000. He holds a degree in Music Education and understands the challenges unique to churches of various sizes. Tony is owner and founder of Worship Service Resources, a national company that for twelve years has provided music for thousands of churches that do not have musicians for congregational singing. Tony feels the heart of the worship leader who is under pressure to "get things going." Perhaps through The Worship T.R.A.P., we can begin to reframe the prevailing conversation about the true purpose of worship.

To all my descendants and fellow travelers on the road of life who hear the call and feel the divine drawing to come to the deep, I am writing this book to show you one of the paths you can take to the place of intimacy with the Lord Jesus Christ. As I retrace my steps and relive my memories, I want to share some of the secrets from the "secret place," that the Lord used to change me forever-but most of all, I want to tell you about my divine love affair with Jesus. I realize that intimate moments between two lovers are best kept private and left behind closed doors, but my Lover, the Lover of my soul, has given me permission to share some of our love story with you. I want to tell you how He wooed me into the divine romance, caressing my soul with fresh revelations of His amazing love. I want to tell you how He manifested Himself to me through dreams and visions and brought me to the place where I finally realized, after years of feeling unworthy, I was His heart's desire. As you soak in some of the secrets hidden in this book, I pray they will swell in you as they did in me until they ultimately usher you into a place of intimacy with the King that you have never been before. I pray that you will have an encounter with Jesus and enjoy the revelation of His presence on every page-but before you begin I have just two requests. First, fasten your spiritual seat belts. Buckle up and hang on because the journey you are about to take with me will bring us to the place I now call a close encounter of the third kind-the Holy Ghost kind-which is full of surprises. Expect the unexpected. Secondly, I pray as you turn each page you will remember to: Eat Friends and Drink Deeply Oh Lovers.

The first section of this book was written by an incredible man. He was my old pastor and his name is Brandon Park. The reality of Hell As Our Motivation for Soul Winning The message of hell is missing in today's church. We are now reaping the results of failing to bring that message. We need to "sound the alarm" In the church that Hell is a real place and those that do not know Christ will go there. Paul said "Knowing the terror of the lord we persuade men" (2 Corinthians 5:11) God's message on Hell is meant to be disturbing. R.T. Kendall said, "The teachings of Jesus on Hell were not meant to make us comfortable." William Booth said "if I could have it my way, I would not send my young ministers to seminary or Bible College. I would have all of them spend five minutes in hell. After they had been in hell five minutes, they would be motivated to become the greatest evangelists this world has ever known" If we are going to prepare people for a place called heaven; we must preach about a place called hell. There are 5 certainties about this place called Hell.

God's intent is that through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to His eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord (Ephesians 3:10-11.) This book takes a fresh look at one prominent New Testament church, the church at Ephesus, to see how well they were fulfilling God's vision for His church. The Scriptures examined include a section of the book of Acts (when the church was founded), the book of Ephesians, further instructions in I and 2 Timothy, and God's letter to the Ephesian church in Revelation 2. God's intent for His church has not changed during the centuries. How well are our churches today showing forth God's wisdom?

We become new creations when we become born-again believers of Jesus Christ! It is an ongoing belief that once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, your life will change for the better and have the ability to overcome harrowing challenges ahead in life. However, could you be living your life in faith at half its spiritual power level? Author Divine Lange seeks to reveal to readers this discrepancy in God-blessed leadership through his new book, Commanding Angelic Hosts. What is missing from your spiritual lives in Christ is the command of angel armies that the Lord gifted us through Jesus, as stated from Matthew 26:53-54. God appointed several angel armies to be our guards in life: reducing and as well ending frustrations from Satan and his armies used to sabotage our witnesses, protecting us from unforeseen dangers and drawing us closer to our Lord God. Divine believes that the reason people don't uphold these heavenly angel armies are because they don't know the power they have with this command. He first begins the discussion by detailing what exactly angels embody of power from God, moving swiftly into ways we can harness this heavenly power when we make a point to live for the Lord. Even simple changes to your spiritual walk, such as reading the Word of God more and stating in prayer what needs you have according to what it is written in the Word of God, can connect you with angels who can make miracles happen instantly. Just read Chapter 5 of Commanding Angelic Hosts to see real-life testimonies of the author and others who have sought their armies of angels for unbelievable miracles in life. The angels have been waiting to help you since you committed your life to Christ, so now is the time to release them and let them fight the battle against Satan with you, knowing victory is God's in the end.

When we think about the birth of Christ, many things come, to mind but one of those many things is the wise men. These men were Persians. What motivated them to cross hundreds of miles of desert and follow a star that was leading them west to Israel, a Jewish nation under Roman rule? The star was unlike any to the stars in the heavens that they studied. They knew it was a special star, but why? Their king wanted to know if the star could be a warning of impending danger to the kingdom. Dyrus is a fifteen year shepherd boy who lives with his parents and grandparents in mountains of Persia during the time of Christ's birth. He wants to know about the things of the world more than the does about being a shepherd boy. Dyrus also saw the star one night while on a wolf hunt and was totally amazed what he saw. The king's wise men come to the mountains to better observe the and study the star. Dyrus and the wise men meet and Dyrur's life is forever changed. Dyrus becomes an apprentice to the wise men. Searching for answers to the many questions about the Star started a life time of adventures for Dyrus. It started first with just learning what all it took to be an apprentice to the wise men. This learning process allowed him to go with the wise men as they followed the star. The conclusion of the trip answered many questions, but in Dyrus' mind but there were still answers to be found. The questions stayed in the back of Dyrus' mind even as he grew up and became a wise man. Questions why was the baby they saw so special to have a star announce his birth? Who was he to be when he grew up? What did or would the Romans think or do? What would the King of Israel think or do? The answer to the questions lead Dyrus to travel back to Israel in search of a man doing miracles. His trip to Israel answered all of his questions he thought. After returning home he received some disturbing news from Israel that raised more difficult questions. Dyrus saw no way to find the answers to the new questions. His questions were brought up in a discussion that came at a later time and in an unexpected way. He accompanied his friend, the captain of the king's guard and his men in the search for Roman spies the western desert of the kingdom. They found no spies, but they found an intriguing man with a strange name. In discussions with this man, Dyrus' questions were brought up. The man answered Dyrus in a strange way and not as he expected. Did these answers provide Dyrus with his "FINAL ANSWER"?

I am married and blessed with children. To God be the glory!
