Μargaret Homer, a young woman in the early twentieth century, defies the cultural norm of women being prim and proper. She desires more and sets out to claim her own homestead in Montana. Accompanied by her older yet more fainthearted sister, she is forced to quickly grow up and come to terms with what is more important to her-her dream of owning her own land and being a homesteader or marrying the man she falls in love with along the way. Jean, with her husband, resides in California in the Silicon Valley. Together they have two sons, a daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. In addition to her love for writing, she is a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice. Her grandparents were homesteaders in the early twentieth century. Jean's fascination with the Wild West, homesteaders, their lives, their struggles and victories won emanates from the many stories she heard as a youngster and her life experiences growing up in Montana.

"First This: God..." (Genesis 1:1, The MSG). "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness..." (Matthew 6:33, NIV). Once I found myself thrust into the world of Bible Study, (it was either that or therapy) it became clear this was to be the first task I set my sights on daily no matter how inconvenient it seemed. This theme quickly took hold of my life-that in everything God should be first. The first words God wrote in His book are basically, 'First-Me' as if to say, 'Before you know anything, know Me. Know that I exist and that I am God-that I am before all things, after all things, control all things, and created all things.' Vital foundational truths in Genesis have imprinted themselves all over our increasingly end-time world. Abraham was looking for a city with foundations and God is still the foundation. He is still first. As a circle runs together so you cannot tell where it ends or begins, God is infinite and eternal. The Bible opens and closes like other books. It starts and finishes with a beginning and an end. But it is not like other books. It is alive and on the move like an endless ocean with no horizon, even enduring to the extent John calls it "God" in John 1:1. So perhaps God's first is our greatest mystery to understanding His last. Katie Marshall received a call to ministry on February 3, 2013. This Bible study was her first attempt to answer that call. She gives all honor and glory to God for anything good He accomplishes through her. She has also started the newsletter ministry, Bought with a Price-A Ministry for Women and written the book, My Betrothed-Unlocking the Great Mystery Concerning Christ and the Church.

I dedicate these "Helpful Hints for Virtuous Living" Manual to inspire couples who wishes to live the way God intended it to be from the beginning. The Lord inspired me to inspire you with these hints of virtuous living, so that you may stay on the right path, living the godliest way possible, by being equal to each other, loving and caring for the other. Being a first time author, I felt compelled to reach out and give a little insight on what a virtuous person should be like as the Holy Spirit dictated, I took notes. Nothing is better than when a couple have smoke in their eyes only for each other, their significant other, either of the two is not greater or lesser than the other. I hope that you can enjoy and heed the hints in this book of virtuous living. May God bless and keep you, also, may this helpful guide lead you onto the right path of virtuousness, the way God intended. A poor but humble servant from La. wishes you all the best.

Nothing is more foundational to global missions than one's view of the Word of God. Sadly, Western seminaries and missions agencies have done great damage to the global church by exporting widespread doubt in the veracity of God's Word. This collection of essays, written by faculty and graduates from each of The Master's Academy International's training centers around the world, illustrates the global implications of biblical inerrancy and highlights the devastating consequences of its abandonment. The Master's Academy International (TMAI) is a network of training centers around the globe that trains pastors and church leaders to faithfully exposit God's Word and shepherd Christ's flock. Here is what others have said about TMAI: TMAI trains godly men right where they are. That means more men to rightly divide the Word, more men to faithfully shepherd God's flock, and more men to plant and build churches all over the world. Dr. John MacArthur President The Master's Seminary and College The Great Commission is not just about sending missionaries, but about sending God's truth through missionaries. This is only possible if we hold unswervingly to biblical inerrancy and the sufficiency of Scripture. TMAI does just that. Paul Washer Founder HeartCry Missionary Society The single best strategy that I know to reach the world for Christ is the training of expositors to preach God's Word. I want to urge all churches and believers everywhere to partner with TMAI. This ministry is all about God's work being done God's way for God's glory.

There's a lot we can learn as we study this incredible Book, including training of our children God's way, if you do the things of God, teaching them to your children, they will be responsible and obedient to God, to us the parents and to the laws of the land and not disrespect the laws!"Who Is a Perfect Man? Who Is A Perfect woman?"

When our love for God is translated to our love for others, God lifts us up with ease and offers us peace; it also helps us to see and serve God more for Him to perfect us.Readers will also learn that the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land."When we carefully look at what is happening worldwide we will realize that we are completely adrift.

THIS IS A BOOK YOU SHOULD READ AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO ALSO READ!!!God wanted to harvest the whole world, He needed to give something.

Pastor Chris does some really neat Bible Studies; when he taught one on the gospel stories that are unique to Luke, I thought he should write a book about it. He said yes, if I include my thought in it as well.The Young Pastor-Pastor Chris Halverson is currently the Pastor of St. Stephen Lutheran, South Plainfield, NJ. He came here directly from Seminary at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. Before that he was a Missionary in England and did an M. Phil. in Intertestamental Studies at the University of Cambridge (St. Edmund''s College).The Not So Young Parishioner-Linda Nietman, a life long Lutheran is a retired Navy Nurse.

Who is called? The answer is a very simple one. You are called of God. Called to do what? That''s the first thing most people think of when they begin to ponder the call of God. Each of us is called to do something, but what we are called to do is secondary to Whom we are called. We are called to God before we are called to do anything for God.The purpose of this book is to better equip you in understanding the call of God and to help you along the way in fulfilling whatever it is that He has invited, summoned, or called you to. My prayer is that this book will help point you in the right direction concerning God''s call for your life. Each of our individual calls will be different, even though they are all spiritually intertwined and connected.Wayne Hancock has been serving the Body of Christ in various capacities since 1987.

Recent events have prompted many to study the book of Revelation in the Bible, in hopes of finding out answers on what to expect in the end-times. However, without a proper approach of exploration, a person may have more questions than answers. An offering of help comes forth in The Book of Revelation, the biblical commentary by author Ronald Braden. Consisting of a line-by-line study through the book of Revelation, Ronald interprets the biblical prophecies within Revelation in the Prophetic or Futuristic School of thought. Within this school, insight is given to explain the symbolism in Revelation, messages in the letters to the seven churches of Asia and John the apostle''s visions of God''s kingdom on heaven and earth. Connections to the prophecies within the book of Daniel are also revealed, as Ronald presents a thorough examination to offer guidance, perception and hope for readers towards a future with Jesus.

Louise Rushing has been delivered and set free from the bondage of sin. "Alcohol is no longer a crutch for me. I don''t have to turn tricks with men in order to feel loved. I don''t carry around bitterness and unforgiveness in my heart against those who used and abused me. I know how to love and forgive. It is all because of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He taught me how to overcome all of the demons that haunted me all my life. I am free, really free." This wonderful God saved me from a life of sin and death. I owe Him everything. He is my life. This book is all about what He did for me in my life. He has sent me out to let this dying world know that there is a God that forgives and can heal a broken heart. I am a living witness. If He did it for me, He can do it for you. Louise Rushing was ordained in October 29, 2011 by Pastor Larry Brooks, of Crossroads Kingdom Ministries, and strives to help her family and others to seek salvation, learn and grow in the Word of God through weekly Bible studies, and by sharing her testimony of God''s grace all over the greater Seattle area in various churches, prisons, women''s shelters, women''s conferences, and prayer breakfasts. 

This book is a commentary on Colossians, focusing on the role of spiritual wisdom and understanding as converts to the gospel transform into disciples.  How do people who have believed the gospel of Jesus Christ become people whose lives manifest the following character?...live a life worthy of the Lord, please Him in every way - bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that they have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father?  (Colossians 1:10-12)?Maybe the question is more personal: if you are someone who has believed the gospel, how can you become someone who lives that life?I have titled this book "The Spiritual Wisdom and Understanding of Colossians," because spiritual wisdom and understanding are keys to the transformation from being a convert to becoming a disciple.  Spiritual wisdom and understanding are not the only keys, but they are critical keys as revealed in Colossians 1:9-10.Study questions at the end of each chapter will facilitate review and application of the material discussed.

ABOUT THE BOOKKingdom Poetry is a product of my desire to use my God-given talent to serve the Lord. I have always thought of using gift of prose poetry to write a unique book of Christian teachings in such a way as to attract wide readership. The poems are highly simplified and touch various topical issues in modern Christianity, ranging from homosexuality to unity in the body of Christ. There are other poems in the book that are dedicated to holy engagements; wedding; new-born baby; birthday; graduation ceremony; conflicts in Christian homes and Christian home-calling. Bearing in mind all classes of English readers, I have employed the use of simple English and picture illustrations to ensure that the book does not look academic, and thereby discourage readers. I permit free use of the poems ONLY at Christian gatherings and/or for Christian purposes.Moses Oladapo Adio ABOUT THE AUTHOURThe author, Moses Oladapo Adio was born in the year 1962 in Ibadan, Nigeria.

The Law of Manifestation is a book about the supernatural journey of a Christian and theanointing of God. Author Sagoe-Nkansah explains how cooperating with the anointing can makethe hidden reality of God visible and tangible. Today, we want physical proof God is involved inour daily lives, but since biblical times, the reality is God is invisible and God is intangible. Wecannot see God. We cannot touch God. The solution to God''s invisibility is shown through Hisanointing. Christianity relies on the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The essence of The Law ofManifestation teaches how God''s anointing operates by a specific universal law and how theordinary believer can cooperate with it to visibly show man God''s intangible and invisible glory.What is the law of manifestation? The Holy Spirit is the "hand of God." What is the hand ofGod? How does God show His power?

The physical and psychological evidence of the sexual abuse perpetrated by my granddaughter''s father upon her, was all there! Yet, our system, which was designed to protect, instead, concealed, twisted and actually eliminated blatant facts and truth, which prevented his prosecution. Would God take over and judge where the system failed us? In spite of all the pain and misery involved, and the valiant battle we fought, we had to come to accept the fact that the battle was not ours, but God''s. "Moreover, the FATHER JUDGES NO ONE, BUT HAS ENTRUSTED ALL JUDGEMENTS TO THE Son,..."John 5:22 NIVOne just can read some license plate frames to know what joy so many grandparents experience. My abounding joy went slowly to heartache, and then to indescribable anguish. This true story shows how God''s love can carry us through heinous tragedies and heal broken hearts.  Hannah Woods wanted to be a police woman when she graduated high school at 17 because her father was a police offer in a large northeastern city. Since one has to be 21 to train for that profession, she went to college instead, and gradually earned three life teaching credentials, two of which were in areas of special education. Looking back now, she realizes that God led her to the right professional decision. What a privilege to have been a positive influence in the lives of so many children, rather than to have worked in a system that will not protect them! 

Hope is part of the design of humanity. We were innatelycreated to desire and to be fulfilled. The uncomfortable reality is that hopeoften hurts, especially when the journey requires waiting in faith and enduringuntold disappointments or detours. ┬áLiving in the tension of hope deferred requires greatcourage. Life presents us all with numerous opportunities to pacify desire withtemporary substitutes or to kill hope and embrace numbness or bitterness. Thewise person will not give up on hope but rather contend for true fulfillment,no matter how long or arduous the wait. ┬áUsing the backdrop of her own narrative as a single womantrusting God''s plan, Casey wrestles with the concept of hope deferred in lightof God''s goodness and his promises.

Eastern Orthodoxy?To many Evangelical Christians, Eastern Orthodoxy is limited to such ethnic immigrant communities as the Greek, Russian, Syrian, and Coptic churches. The Greek Orthodox Church is primarily known for its annual festivals. The Evangelical and Orthodox worlds are basically isolated from each other. To many Christians, Eastern Orthodoxy is simply Roman Catholicism without a Pope. But beginning in the 1980''s, thousands of evangelical pastors, missionaries and artists converted to Eastern Orthodoxy. The Orthodox Church in America has now experienced the largest mass conversions in its history.Dr. Morey has spent over five years investigating the truth claims of Eastern Orthodoxy. With meticulous research and massive documentation, Dr. Morey has traced the historical and philosophic origins of its doctrines and rituals, and has now written the definitive Evangelical response to Eastern Orthodoxy. This work has already received international recognition for its careful scholarship, logical analysis, objective and balanced research, and biblical insight into the history and teachings of Eastern Orthodoxy and will be considered the classical Evangelical response to the Eastern Church for many years to come.Recommendations for Book"This is a helpful and thought-provoking summary, showing how the beliefs and practices of Eastern Orthodoxy often depart from authentic biblical orthodoxy. Dr. Morey explodes the fiction that true apostolic Christianity was preserved in the icons and mysticism of the Eastern Church. His candor and passion are refreshing." - Phil Johnson, Grace to You"This book is the most accurate and useful examination and refutation of Eastern Orthodoxy ever written. May God use it to win many Orthodox people to Christ."- Sutherland MacLean, Missionary to Russia and the Ukraine"In a day when Eastern Orthodoxy is infiltrating evangelical universities and seminaries, the book Is Eastern Orthodoxy Christian?

This is a Call for All Christians to Step Aside and Allow the Holy Spirit Back in His Rightful Place Upfront and Leading the Way but unfortunately today, we have too many times silenced The Holy Spirit, changing His role from general partner to the silent partner. Seldom do we involve Him in the day-to-day business called our lives. We have limited the power of the Holy Spirit and have casted Him to the background and in the process, increased our power. We are now the shot caller and concede to no one. Reliance on the Holy Spirit worked for the first century Christians. We have to remember that the early disciples were ordinary unschooled men but they did something we strive to do today. They evangelized the whole world in their time.

God knows how to elbow His way into our lives especially where we have put up 'No trespassing' signs. Do you think you have great faith then suddenly God sends a reality check, and you fail big time.
