The book is a fictional story using animals to portray the truth with excitement, of the night the Christ child was born. This book was written over a period of time, adding stories to the book as I progressed and developed the story. It brings the true meaning of Christmas and how all of nature sensed the glorious night of Christ's birth. It is about the first Christmas tree out in the woods, with animals decorating it, for one of the biggest events in history. They all gathered together in the center of the woods, bringing their gifts to share with one another in the spirit and celebration of Christmas. The book ends with the star of Bethlehem appearing over their tree, as they bow down and worship the King of Kings. I am a Christian, that raised my two daughters, Kelly and Nancy and my son Marc in Christ and they in turn are raising their children in Christianity. It is a very real and living God we follow. Setting the right examples for children gives them guidelines they take with them for a lifetime. I mentioned scripture in the story without really saying the scripture, but implying the meaning of the bible phrase. I hope as the children read this book, it will inspire them to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone they come in contact with. I am very blessed to have been able to share my thoughts in this book and hope everyone will enjoy reading it, as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Do not miss the opportunity that God has given us. Time is limited, time is not eternal. Rape is one of the devils invisible weapon. This book is meant to tell you about the purpose or purposes of a violation. A rape is a trap arranged by the devil, the purpose of this violation is to destroy us mentally, morally, physically. The story deals with a 12 year old girl who was raped by three men in different places. This girl is now 40 years old and she is remarried and has 6 children. I wrote this book to help anyone who has been raped, I wrote this book to tell them that being raped, or violated traumatizes us. When we are raped, we are immersed in trauma, and only Jesus can deliver us from this trauma which is planned by the devil, and He delivered me from my trauma and this he can also do it to help all of you who have asked for help. We can stay injured without knowing the purpose. Christ has shown me that I was traumatized. I wrote this book to tell you to forgive these people, because these people are doing what the devil said. The devil wanted to bring shame on us and traumatize us, to tell us that destroying is the message of God John: 10-10, the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come so that humans have life and have it abundantly. I was lucky I'm not dead. His purpose in this world is that someone is killed and violated every day. Jesus tells us his purpose, ask the father, to forgive them for They Know Not What They Do, Luke 23-34. That's why I wrote this book for you, so that you say amen and forgive.

Hope, Healing & Restoration in GOD'S PRESENCE. 40 Days of Intimate Encounters with God This most encouraging and inspirational book is designed specifically to lead people everywhere down the path towards being a person after God's own heart. It is by securing and strengthening a more intimate relationship with Jesus that we discover the answers to our deepest yearnings and desires. This book will help others to achieve that intimacy. As a bible teacher, Christian minister and skilled writer, the author draws from his own experiences throughout his 40 year walk with God. He leads toward the abundance of life Jesus talked about. After Bible College, he continued in several additional bible training programs and also completed an intensive mentoring program for ministers. But none of his schooling has taught him nearly as much as God has. "I had to learn how to grow in my relationship with the Lord. It was a bit like on-the-job training. And many mistakes were made, yet that too is a part of the sanctification process. God is a master at educating us. Only He knows all the particulars of our individual idiosyncrasies, and He knows precisely how to help us understand what we need to learn. That is why it is so crucial to draw close to Him. He will help us overcome every obstacle and all difficulties that are in our lives right now. When we draw close to God, God draws close to us." The writer opens his heart to escort us through devotional thoughts, transparently sharing his own human weaknesses, while engaging the reader to trust Jesus and honestly open their hearts Him. In hope that each will receive their own character make-over, designed by the Master.

The science of eternal life is related to the electromagnetic energy that our brain produces while we are living on earth. This energy concept is tied to the miracles that that Jesus Christ used to both influence and heal people. The energy that we create while living on earth is propagated at the speed of light in an ever increasing band without limit. As it is propagated, it defines the characteristics of all the components of the Universe according to the laws of science that relate the interaction of electromagnetic energy with those components.In addition, we share space with the energy of all the others who have lived on Earth and are aware of their entire life history! To predict what our energy will provide for us, the latest science on how our Universe was created is presented.This science serves as a base for what we will see as our energy propagates through the Universe and beyond, which is called the Infinitum. Because eternal life is for such am incomprehensible period of time, cosmic time is introduced, which suggests that trillions of years might seem like a day. God is defined to be the master of all scence, and in Gods capacity to control the Infinitum, an appreciation for how great God is extends far beyond what our past experience has suggested. This book follows the propagation of our energy through the Universe and beyond in light years.There are about 70 colorful photos to aid the description of what this will be like. The background science of our Universe is used to illustrate what universes beyond ours might be like. The Bible is used to confirm the science of the Infinitum and the vision of our electromagnetic energy as it relates to life after death,

There are several things that will be taught to our children that will be with them into adulthood. I believe the most important thing they should take with them on their journey is "What Thus Says The Lord"! Demetric Davis Demetric was raised in a single parent home, is a single parent, and has a lot of interactions with single parent families. She has noticed that the choices and actions made by the children in these homes are proof that children need a father, but what's more evident is that they need a heavenly father. It is her goal to reach children at an early age and plant in them, and water, water, water, until God gives the increase.

THE WORD IS IN ... Israel's future is past. The Christian New Testament Church is Israel. The Church is the fulfillment of Old Testament Judaism. There is no urgency or even necessity for the U.S. to become energy independent. Roman Emperor Nero was Revelation's "Antichrist." Islam's ultimate goal is universal peace and justice. Since Christ's resurrection and ascension the Church has been experiencing the "Millennium." Rapture of the Saints is a figment of the imagination. God is too good to eternally condemn anyone. The entirety of humanity will ultimately be saved because the proclamation of the Gospel will finally overcome all the evil and corruption in creation. All will be well. Think good thoughts. Be happy. The statements made in the paragraph above are either distortions of Biblical truth or whimsical nonsense, which this book on prophecy was written to expose to the 21st Century.
