My older sister, Char, abruptly became single when her husband passed away from a massive stroke. It hurt to watch her grieve. I heard her ask God, "Is this the end? Until death do us part? Am I divorced now? Are forty-six years of love and commitment down the drain?" Soon thereafter, my precious mother died. On the night of her funeral, I awoke with a start at 1:30, the formation of a novel coursing through my mind. I grabbed pen and paper and wrote furiously. It felt like only minutes had passed, but as I noticed the sun rising above the mountains, the foundation of I''ll Point to Heaven had taken shape.I''ll Point to Heaven starts at the present day, but quickly takes the reader back to the Great Depression-a time when family unity and strength of family were necessary for survival. Qualities of hard work, courage, integrity, and faith in God were the very fabric of the daily grind. But it was also the time of two love stories. In the small towns nestled underneath the majestic spires of Bryce Canyon National Park, two couples held a profound love for each of the others. Proposals of marriage were in the air. But which of them shared the true, impassioned, and forever love for the other? Would the resolution of their love shock the communities below the painted cliffs?Then it returns the reader to the present day, answering all of Char''s questions with miraculous and conclusive splendor. It answers everyone''s queries and uncertainties concerning loss.I''ll Point to Heaven takes the reader deep inside the heart and soul of each of the four main characters, to feel their challenges, dreams, joys, and devotions, as well as their heartache and loss. It is both heart-breaking and heart-warming as it teaches that the love of God lasts for eternity. There''s suspense in every page.

Something Shifted is a nonfiction, inspiring Christian book that acts as a tapestry of different threads brilliantly woven together: first, the thread of author and doctor Peter Osterbauer's life, which went from frequenting strip clubs, to joining an occult order, to having a drinking problem, having an affair, to attempting suicide, all while masking his inner struggles with a successful career in neurology. The second thread is the thread of teaching, from the author's own experience, what it means to shift-that is, crossing that line consciously, going from "maybe" to "yes." This book will teach readers what it means to be forgiven, what it means to be redeemed, what it means to become a new creation in Christ, and learn to shift from shame to grace.

It is intriguing when I hear the before stories of women who are now Christians, such as these ten women who have gathered at an Ohio Lodge for a weekend retreat. THE RETREAT is a collection of women-focused stories based on true events. It transports readers right into the hearts, emotions, and minds of these women who have dealt with the difficulties of life, but through God's Word, found hope. Sharing their experiences with one another demonstrates that God always heals and knows what is best. As chapters of these women's lives unfold others realize things are not always as seen on the surface. Connie, their spiritual leader reveals a startling past. Sandy's hatred of God is a mystery to all except Gloria. Chris did what she thought was unforgivable. But God had a surprise in store for Chris. You will enjoy the antics of Alexandra and be encouraged by a spirited, eighty-two year young Mother McCann. As the reader you will be touched by the various stories just as these women affected the lives of one another.

The human tongue is one of the most amazing of all of God''s creations. It has been used to speak such great words that have gone on to inspire millions and produce unforgettable works such as Apostle Paul''s Address to the Athenians at the Areopagus (Mars Hill) (Acts 17:22-31 ), President Abraham Lincoln''s Gettysburg Address, Dr. Martin Luther King''s "I Have a Dream" speech, and so much more. Yet this same member of our body that weighs less than a quarter of a pound has also resulted in the death and destruction of millions through not just the rantings of Adolph Hitler and other despots, but every day by the unkind, hateful and discouraging words that we speak. The Tongue: Your Personal Neutron Bomb takes a fresh look at an old truth that has long been established in the word of God. Whether you are a mature Christian with decades of experience in the new birth or a young "babe in Christ," this book will be a blessing to you as you strive to be more like our Savior, Jesus Christ, who spoke forth the "words of life."

Trials will befall everyone: no matter the age, race, gender or wisdom in life. Author Anthony Clark knows well facing trials in life, having endured a poor childhood in a broken home and growing up in the projects. His autobiography, Chronicles of Hope, recounts Anthony's struggle against fear that lead to his difficulties with family and influence from drugs and alcohol. His relationship with God was also a source of difficulty, as Anthony saw the trials as indications of uncertainty for tomorrow. However, God guided Anthony's path with His promises of hope that helped to heal spiritual wounds and keep him on track with starting a ministry with his wife, even during times when the Church rejected them. The knowledge Anthony gained through his life experiences he offers to readers, coupled with scripture verses that inspire assurance in Christ. There is hope in trials, found with God's love and faith.

When Madilyn MacIntyre spends the Labor Day weekend with her grandfather on his Arkansas farm, annoying Chad Welbourne insists on driving her there. She quickly learns that she isn''t the source of Chad''s interest, but rather the rumor of a vast Civil War era treasure that is supposedly buried on her grandfather''s farm. And when she returns to Kansas City to her job, she finds that lies and manipulation by her enemies have caused her to be fired. Heartbroken, she retreats again to her grandfather''s farm, for emotional healing before applying for another position. However, it soon becomes apparent that "someone" is after the MacIntyre treasure, someone working ruthlessly behind the scenes. When Chad follows her back to Arkansas, Maddie suspects that his motives don''t include the love that he pretends to profess for her, but that greed is his great motivator. Maddie''s grandfather insists there isn''t really a treasure, that it is only a legend. But is that true? Or will he and Maddie both be caught in circumstances that not only threaten their livelihood but their very lives? J. W. Watkins, mother to 4, grandmother to 10, and great-grandmother to 5, feels that writing is her calling from God.

"In fact, I can get so absorbed, I forget to do anything else." She has been writing since the age of eight and has been a Christian for the last sixty-two years. She, at present, lives in Arkansas, in the house and on the farm where she grew up.

Flesh VS SpiritYou''re going to be a slave to the one you choose to obey, either to the flesh unto sin or to the spirit unto righteousness. One leads to death the other leads to life. (Rom. 6:16-23 NASB)Many Christians have no understanding of what it truly means to walk by the spirit. They don''t know how to be truly transformed in order to develop a spiritual mind.If we learn to recognize our fleshly nature as compared to our spirit, we can learn to choose more effectively which nature to listen to and which nature to reject! We need to make it a habit of examining what we''re looking at, what we''re listening to, what we''re doing, what we''re saying and what we''re thinking or imagining to find out what our mine set is. By examining the fruit, you will know if your mind is set on the flesh or the spirit. (Gal.5:19-25)This is a tool you can use for the rest of your life. It will help to sharpen your spiritual focus so you can see more clearly. The more you take God''s Word to heart and learn to do it His way the easier it will be to overcome sin and become a slave to righteousness, which is truly freedom. What was once vague can become black and white because our spiritual nature and fleshly nature become easier to identify. God gives power to our spirit so we can learn to reject sin and embrace His righteousness.We need to wake up and learn to conform to your new identity in Christ. We should all know what it truly means to be in Christ and what it means to be born again with a spirit that''s regenerated, freed from sin and without blemish.

The daily devotions in this volume focus on hope and joy, providing tangible encouragement for anyone feeling emotionally overwhelmed by life's hardships, struggles, and storms. Life is not easy when we are in the broken places, but if we can learn to trust God and allow Him to actively work in our lives, we can find peace and contentment to replace anxiety and discouragement.Refreshingly, Randy allows his personal struggles and flaws to be exposed, helping craft advice and insight for real issues we all face. Showing how his relationship with God has grown will inspire you to view your own relationship and see where God might be encouraging you to change.Randy begins his daily devotions with a section titled "Storms," covering common situations and quandaries people have where they wonder if God is listening and whether their struggles will ever end. Section Two, "Keys to Survival," reinforces Randy's belief that the key to Soul Repair lies in building and strengthening our relationships with God. It contains ideas and biblical steps to help further that process and facilitate "survival." Finally, "Recovery" concludes the sections by celebrating the rewards to come as we grow closer to God. Taken together, the daily devotions will help you restore your relationship with God, strengthen your spiritual foundation, and help you move from any storm to the safety and comfort of God's loving hands.Reading The Soul Repair Manual is like getting a Scripture-based prescription for hope and joy. The daily doses are easily absorbed and can be returned to time and again whenever the storms of life threaten to overtake you.

As author Elizabeth Stuckey begins her new book, Path of Destruction, she states that every person is shown two paths to take in life: the path of righteousness and the path of destruction. Since God gives us free will, we, humans, are able to determine which path we traverse. However, the challenges of this world can darken our views and lead us down unrighteous paths. Path of Destruction encourages readers to choose to be servants of God instead of seeking one''s own desires. She explains that there is a battle of flesh vs. spirit within us, but how we can combat this is surrendering all to God and embracing positive attitudes instead of negative attitudes. Changing our mindsets toward more godly mindsets in life will affect not only the path we follow toward God: it also promotes more godly mindsets toward finances and in bringing our youth to Christ successfully.

Merle Evans met her future husband, Jack, when he visited the orphanage where she lived. He had been raised in an orphanage, too, and they seemed to have much in common. When she turned 18 they got married. Everyone said he was such an agreeable man, but Merle soon found that for all his good works, there was a dark side to him that he kept hidden from the public. Merle prayed that God would show her a way out of her emotionally abusive marriage. The ungodly answer came to her in church. Did she dare take control of her own destiny? She started out by changing her name from Merlie to Merle. And her hairdo from plain to powerful. God sent someone to protect her who turned out to be more protection than she expected. And He sent her a dog who taught her the healing power of unconditional love while providing comic relief! When Merle found out what Jack had been up to with his four best friends, she realized that Jack's death was definitely part of God's plan for his destiny and for hers.

Can it be done? Can one shout silently? The title of this book reflects the contrast in worship styles so prevalent in the Christian community today. There are those who believe worship should be a silent, almost non-responsive experience. On the other hand many believe that public worship should be expressive, vibrant, joyful and even loud at times. What does the Bible say about the matter? This study will explore the calls for silence and the calls for external expression in the scriptures. The Bible says there is a time and a place for everything.

From start to finish he does not let up until the final word and then he leaves the reader with a new perspective, a challenge, and a new direction. This is a book that all Christians interested in the dynamics of worship should read."Terrence D. Griffith Former Senator in the Grenada ParliamentPastor, First African Baptist Church of Philadelphia Established in 1809

Another presents a father's lament of his missing son during a Kansas whiteout, not knowing the stranger he was talking to held important information for him. The author also shares her story of a skittish cat named Lovely Lady Lucy who only wanted someone to love her.
