Our Promised Inheritance __________________________________ "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams, 2nd president of the United States "Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of the United States Today the United Stated leads the world in prison population, rate of divorce, teen pregnancies, voluntary abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, single parent households, teen suicides, cocaine, alcohol, and drug consumption, and pornography production and consumption.

Yet, parents around the world want to send their children here to escape the death, rape and slavery that is the future they face in so many third world countries.

I have gone out, and I have oil for my lantern. I have put the oil in the lantern, and I have lit it. I have walked through the darkness. As I continue on my interior spiritual pilgrimage, I hope that the time will come when I find Heaven's door. Then I will knock on the door. As the door opens, a radiant light appears. I hear the word "welcome", so I enter the door. Then, as I am embraced by Jesus Christ, I again hear His words, "Well done, my son". This book is about my own internal spiritual pilgrimage that reveals my own spiritual formation about where I was, where I am now and about how to progress in the future in my spirituality. I was born in 1951. I received my under graduate degree in Sociology from Northwestern University and my Masters degree in Social Work from Loyola University of Chicago.

God took David from the fields where he followed the sheep to become the ruler of Israel. He was overlooked by his father, yet chosen by God. He carried the dream to be king from the day Samuel anointed him, but he did not feel worthy to marry the king's daughter after defeating Goliath. David experienced many amazing moments in his life, yet he also endured many traumas. He was the hero of Israel and then became the hunted villain. He went from leading the armies of Israel to being pursued by the same. When David was anointed king in Judah, civil war erupted. Each step that God was establishing David's identity, the enemy was trying to steal it. Defeating Goliath required faith, but taking the throne required identity. It takes a Goliath to reveal a David, and his journey to produce a king. Faith believes what God can do. Identity believes what God can do through you. Let David's journey touch yours."Dale has done a masterful job presenting life-transforming truths. His revelation concerning identity as the key to progressively advancing is enlightening and enabling. This book added new insights and encouragement to my life." -Dr. Bill Hamon"This book is a treasure. It is a deeper study of David's life. The insights the Holy Spirit has shared with us through Dale are extraordinary. The truth it contains will change you-guaranteed!" -Dutch Sheets"This is a captivating and compelling book about King David's journey to the throne. This is a book that you cannot put down because it speaks to you so personally. I loved the book!" -Bishop Anne Gimenez"Dale is a favorite teacher by our students and staff at GSSM. This book is an excellent resource. I highly recommend Dale and this book." -Dr. Randy Clark

"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True...dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean...'He will rule them with an iron scepter.' He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" (Revelation 19:11-16, NIV). Forget the knight in shining armor. He's not good enough anymore. It is the most scandalous proposal of all existence. The "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" has come with His outstretched arms seeking a hand in marriage. It's yours. Will you accept His proposal? Will you dare to take hold of Him? Or better yet-let Him take hold of you. In His light, you have never looked more beautiful. Katie Marshall received a call to ministry on February 3, 2013. After a great sifting, the Lord revealed she was not too far gone, but rather, finally ready. The Bible study First God-A Journey Through Genesis was her first attempt to answer that call. She gives all honor and glory to God for anything good He is able to accomplish through her. Since, she has also started a newsletter ministry, Bought with a Price-A Ministry for Women and written this book, My Betrothed-Unlocking the Great Mystery Concerning Christ and the Church. She endeavors nothing more than to be used of God to accomplish any task He should desire of her, great or small, and to tell as many people as she can of His confounding and infamous love.

"Jack's book "UP FROM ASHES" is much more than a business person's recovery from unfortunate circumstances. It is an account of a Christ filled life leading to a true relationship with the Lord.

Corey Sateren Sr. Pastor Bethany Evangelical Free Church, La Crosse, WI For readers who have questioned their faith - this is a very inspirational and encouraging book describing the author's faith in Jesus Christ while rebuilding his life after a fire that destroyed his multimillion-dollar business.

After thirty-six hours of labor, the head of a beautiful baby girl crowned the womb of her mother and entered the world, weighing six pounds, four ounces. Sixteen months later, water broke, the call was made, and I was speeding on my way to the hospital. With no epidural and one final, grueling grunt, out came a miracle...at one something in the morning, making his debut into the world was My Handsome.

ECHOES OF SOLOMON is a story of a man who is well educated by Solomon's wisdom. The only man who has read the book of Solomon given to him by one of God's handpicked angels; an angel who was assigned to watch over him, and to protect him from the many dangerous situations that he would encounter during his lifetime. James Campbell believes that God chose him as a child when his angel saved him from a bullet that came from the barrel of his uncle's rifle while cleaning it. And throughout his entire life, his guardian angel has always been close by making sure that he lived and to showcased the kind of wisdom that God gave to Solomon. James also tells an incredible story about an ultra-bright light that swallowed him up and carried him into a corridor of the Holy Spirit. During his brief stay in the light, he was washed clean of all of his pain and worries to a point that his soul was set free. During his 37 years as a police officer, the light from the Holy Spirit and a guardian angel who rode the beat with him in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city of Atlanta that kept him safe from all harm and danger. As a young cop, the criminal element knew him by name, and they trembled with fear whenever he showed up on the scene. He retired as one of Atlanta's most famous cops for being one of the best of "Atlanta's Finest". Also, he walked away from three near fatal helicopter crashes in a span of six months without even a nose bleed. During the Vietnam War, his entire combat unit was shipped out to the war, leaving him behind as the lone soldier in Berlin. A year later, his squad of "Company A", was killed in a battle. He believes that he would have been one of the casualties if he had been there, primarily because he was the squad leader. But his guardian angel erased his name from the list of soldiers who shipped out. "Echoes of Solomon" is a true story of a life filled with wisdom, and one that is well lived as told by James Campbell, the man who is as wise as Solomon was.

GOD IS THE ANSWER AND UNLESS IT COMES FROM GOD, IT IS DOOMED TO FAILURE. This vision came directly from God, therefore its effectiveness in establishing a powerful New Testament Church is a certainty. Finally a book is written, if followed correctly, that will make every church a success in its management. I'm so thankful that God blessed me to pastor a church that was a joy to be involved with. I pray that every keeper of a vineyard will utilize this book as a guideline for a smooth functioning organism. The majority of churches are operated as an organization when in reality the church is an organism and must be governed by God, the Holy Spirit, and does not follow the rules of organizational management. It is necessary for the church to have strong, united and faithful workers. The workers must be taught what their duties in the Body of Christ are and how to perform them within their area of expertise. This booklet is a valuable instrument in concentrating on and establishing the auxiliaries in the church. The principles outlined in the book show clearly what is required of each church division. To be a church that is confident in its Spiritual function is a wonderful experience. God truly gave these instructions to me in a vision and I applied them to the church operation, and with hard work, success was realized. Pastor Milton Butler

Statistics indicate that a startling percentage of women who choose abortion to terminate an unplanned pregnancy claim some affiliation to the Christian faith, and some Christian counselors suspect that there are potentially countless post-abortive men and women within the Christian community. Confronting the Silence: Addressing the Issues of Pregnancy and Abortion among Singles in the Church explores reasons that Christians choose abortion when faced with an unplanned pregnancy, the psychological and spiritual fallout for individuals, and the spiritual implications for the Church. This book also suggests proactive steps the Christian community can take to reduce occurrences of unplanned pregnancies and ways to demonstrate greater compassion toward unwed mothers by celebrating their decision to choose life and by providing emotional and practical assistance throughout their pregnancy and beyond. It is hoped that a compassionate approach to this issue will foster an atmosphere in which other singles, faced with the same predicament, will be encouraged to take the time to make a more forward-looking, holistic appraisal of their situation and consider the life-affirming options available to them, rather than feeling pressured into making rash decisions that they are likely to regret in the long run. The book is supported by comments gathered during face-to-face interviews with the directors of three pregnancy counseling agencies and draws on the research of respected pro-life proponents in the United States and Canada. Author Bio: Patricia C. Jean is a first-time author and a "first-generation" Christian who experienced an unplanned pregnancy in her late thirties after coming to the faith.

I thank God for immortality. Adonai gave man immortality from the beginning; but man gave it away through disobedient. However; God sent his begotten son Yeshua to restore immortality which was once lost by Eve and Adam. Though the restoration was not convenient, but Christ Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for mankind to gain immortality again. Hence; it is written: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Everlasting life is the immortality Christ restored back to mankind. It's a mystery how God created the world, how Lucifer fell, and how man became a living Being, and most of all how Christ became man and God, and what lies hidden in the books of the Bible - revealed through the holy spirit to everyone willing to search for the knowledge of the understanding of God and his word, as aligned in the Holy book of life - Bible. What God hide from the wise and the prudent, he made know to babes and suckling - what a mystery. As you read through the pages of this book, you will see much of the mystery that God through his Holy Spirit revealed. If anyone genuinely ask of God, to know him and the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible, such person will see that truly Jesus Christ is life and light to the world. The very light that came to light up all men, and set the world free from Darkness. As many that believe in Christ, to them he gave power to become sons of God. Jesus Christ is the word of God that became flesh and dwelt among men; he came to restore immortality to mankind through the Holy Spirit by ADONAI.

Like a precious stone prepared by a master jeweler, grace is a beautiful, multi-faceted gift that God gives to all. It was available to Adam and Eve to cover their sin. It was a theme of the song of Jonah sung from the belly of the great fish. Grace was seen in the parable of the Good Samaritan, who not only saw to the needs of the traveler who fell victim to the robbers, but extended the gift to the robbers as well. It will be given to the Tribulation Saints at the end of the world as we know it. Come explore the grace of God in ways that you had not thought of before!

"The wise man learns from experiences while the wiser man learns from the experiences of others." -Ancient Chinese proverb This book is about coaching and the game's demands by a true soccer hero named Mike Balson. Mike was born to be a hero from the day he first wore England's colors as a schoolboy internationalist. He has played in over 500 professional games with and against the finest of soccer players. After more than eight years as a professional player in England with Exeter City and a stint in South Africa, Mike immigrated to Atlanta, Georgia. He was signed by the Atlanta Chiefs of the NASL and later as a player-coach with other professional clubs. Such was Mike's versatility in soccer that he turned to refereeing following his playing career, and finally his leadership qualities led to his prestigious appointment as assistant commissioner of the USISL. Mike does not consider himself a hero. He is too modest for that. However, if we put all his contributions together, surrounded by what he has done for soccer development in the USA it is easy to understand the reason he was inducted into the Georgia Soccer Hall of Fame. So like the wiser man said about learning from the experiences of others-who better than Mike Balson. -Angus McAlpine GA Soccer Hall of Fame Former United States U-20 and U-16 Men's Cup Head Coach 1984 U.S. Olympic and National Team Assistant Coach Photo [Manchester United v Exeter City] Mike Balson was inducted into the Georgia State Soccer Association Hall of Fame in 2002 and into the United Soccer League Hall Of Fame in Oneonta, New York in 2004 and the National Soccer Hall of Fame for the College Referees Association in Oneonta, New York, in 2006. Mike captained the Exeter City team in UK, played and coached professionally for South African team Highlands Park and for the Atlanta Chiefs and Georgia Generals in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and played for The Tampa Bay Rowdies in Florida. Coach Balson has coached players and coaches in Georgia and Florida. He and his family now reside in Central Florida.

Hi, I'm Michael Williams. I live in Philadelphia born and raised on the streets of North Philadelphia. I have been through so many trials and tribulations since the age of 8 years old. I was addicted to drugs and alcohol for 47 years but I never gave up praying to Jesus Christ to help me. He answered my prayers and He also opened my eyes, my mind and my heart to what my gifts truly are from Him. It's my testimony to help others not fall into the same traps set by Satan. This is my true experience of my life and there's nothing like experiencing life on your journey to find out your purpose for being born. So I hope these words of inspiration given to me by God Almighty to give to you hopefully that you won't fall in the same hole that I did. God forbid that you do but there's a way out and God has given it to me to share with you. Amen.
