From the minute Paul's journey begins he is ravished by pain, suffering and heartache; a once faith driven man is stripped of everything and brought back to the core of his existence. Of course as most of us have done, Paul fails to see the grand idea behind God's masterpiece. However, as his journey continues, a series of experiences and unlikely friendships begin to foster a spirit of hope once again for Paul.Paul is a leading example of what it means to have loved and lost. His character offers a challenging mixture of grief and hope that sends us through a spiritual rollercoaster of emotion, all the while coercing us to pray for his heartache and cheer for his victories.We are reminded that friendships can change the course of our spiritual lives and that encouragement can make the difference between life and death. Through this riveting and spiritual voyage of a man, who gave God every excuse to give up on him, we find that no matter where we are, no matter what we have done, one thing will always remain; God's love.

The choice of career should not be based on how much you can make but on what God created you to do. When you choose rightly, you will do well and succeed in life.Faith will cause you to see the invisible blessing. Your eyes will deceive you about the invisible blessing; hence your eyes are meant to see the visible things and not the invisible. Understand that your eyes work with your mental faculty: when the eye picks an object, it transfers the object to the mind for analysis, and the mind can only analyze what it was trained to know in the physical realm. What the mind was not trained to know will be subjected to unimportance; therefore the thing of faith will be foolishness to the natural mind.Moses chose his choice by faith, not by sight: what Moses saw when he was in Egypt was what every normal human being would choose-he saw the treasure in Egypt, but with faith he could see that the treasure in Egypt was for a season. Therefore he chose the unseasonal treasure. Dr. Paul Adefisoye is an internationally known conference speaker and author. He is the founder of Christ Redemption Ministries International which as at now located in three continents: Europe, Africa and North America (USA). He is blessed with a direct prophetic gift and sound teaching that changes lives.

What was so significant about the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden? Lust, the underlayment of temptation to sin still lurk, sitting quietly disguised as something else, mean while stealing our ability to have an abundant life. Author Sonja Ni'chelle wondered why she kept falling, but has learned a secret which she now exposes and explains in her new, nonfiction book, The Lust Factors. This book concentrates on three primary areas of lust in carnal minds; lust of the eyes, pride of life and the lust of the flesh. Biblical figures are highlighted that struggled with temptation to sin like Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and even Samson. Phenomenal insights are given to empower us with knowledge of the enemy's tactics and guidance through the Word of God, so we can make better decisions, enabling us to have the life that we were meant to have.

God works in miraculous ways to deliver us from the grip of numerous strongholds. In Never Gonna Give You Up, we see how God works through a man named Cue, whose preserving soul search brought about a host of realizations. Melvyn Woolard writes a deeply personal and introspective; recounting his lessons learned growing up in a New York City housing project. His exposure to an array of people provides him with an enriching perspective, as well as a determined mental fortitude. He introduces the reader to his friend, Cue as a young person growing up in New York City Housing Project who became addicted to drugs and personal turmoil depicts his yearning for God, and ultimately, the reality that many other drug abusers live in. But there is always deliverance, as Cue later becomes introduce to The Lady Angelina who told Cue that God would set him free from drugs. So she told Cue she would like to pray for him, and Cue said please do with tears still in his eyes. So she began praying for Cue asking God to help him and strengthen his mind. After she prayed for Cue she told him everything was going to be all right. Although Cue eventually returned to drugs, his faith in God never left; Cue's final days on earth revealed a love from his family and friends. Melvyn Woolord shares how he has managed to come to terms with grief of the lost of a friend, and how he came to terms with the challenges of a young person growing up in New York City Housing Projects as he provide perspective and closure in this story.

THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the (physical and spiritual) captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound. (Isaiah 61:1 Amp)I pray while reading this book the anointing God has given me; will be received and it will bring future incarcerations to a halt in the physical and in the spiritual; because we know that it is the anointing that destroys the yolks. And I pray that every person that has been arrested and charged with a crime is aware of just how important it is to be set free, not just for themselves but for their family too! Please pay attention to how the charges are brought into a family and not just in the natural things we see, but there are also charges brought into the spiritual in things that we cannot see. Because we don't see the spiritual charges we have a tendency to think they don't exist but the word of God says "what we loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven;" so if a crime is committed in the natural there are charges brought to that person in both realms! The Good News is when a person that has been charged with a crime is removed from their shackles of captivity their family is delivered out of captivity as well; when God saves one He saves the family! The reason for this book is to let it be known that because of the law even though the family "Didn't do the Crime but they Have to do the Time" and this book reveals how Jesus is "Breaking the Bars"!

It is so easy to fall into the mundanities of everyday life-going through the motions of waking up, working, paying the bills, and then all of a sudden, a momentous event stops your life in its tracks. For Ejiro Theodora Ideme that day came in October 2012 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was in this instance she saw herself again for the first time and in the 14 months that followed she began the biggest fight of her life, Scars of Hope, tells the story of Ejiro's extraordinary experience, her resolute faith, and how she held onto the tiniest light in the dark. This battle taught her that every day is a blessing and must be lived with joy and purpose. Through her journey she desired to lift up and encourage not only the sick but also the challenged and crestfallen. "I'm glad to write even from my place of struggle and faith during treatment to encourage you that you can go through life strong if you put your mind to it. Dare to be optimistic even in your darkest moments. Make your challenges count by bringing hope to the hopeless." -From Scars of Hope EJIRO THEODORA IDEME is an ACCA qualified accountant and a praise and worship leader in her local church Jesus House London. Worship has been a fundamental part of her Christian walk, and for over a decade she has used this gift of music to minister to others. She has now stepped out to be a song writer and is currently working on her debut album titled Brand New.

Faith is the only means by which the invisible is made tangible. It therefore forms the basis of the believer's relationship and association with God because He is unseen. The believer's conflict arises because he must somehow learn to "look beyond what he can see". Wavering faith is tantamount to calling God a liar, and deeming Him untrustworthy. The believer must therefore be convinced that his God cannot lie, in order to remove doubt and strengthen his faith. God's inability to lie has more to do with the creative power of His words than His righteousness. Faith is perfected by action; it dies of loneliness if not accompanied by works. Faith is to the spiritual realm what money is to the natural realm; faith is therefore the currency of the Kingdom of God. This fact therefore results in a redefinition of the concept of wealth. Abraham and his seed were predestined by God as the only recipients of blessings from God on the earth. Direct descendants of Abraham are blessed because of their lineage, while Non-Jews are blessed because of their faith whereby they were adopted as the seed of Abraham and made heirs of the promises of God. This book will undoubtedly increase your faith and facilitate your transition into the abundant life that Jesus Christ came to make available to His believers.

Before contemplating marriage, a man must recognize and heed God's Guidance. Once you commit to what God has ordained, Satan will come with attempts to destroy what God has put together. Be encouraged to know that what does not destroy you will make you stronger. God can and does use every area in our life to grow us up. Our Pastor has taught us the process is much more significant than the product since going through testing enables us to grow. The exerts above are very true. Rick and I have been married for over 9 years. We decided to use our own experiences as a Christian couple to glorify God and show that even in the midst of adversity and testing and trials, with God leading us through the Holy Spirit, marriage can stand the tests of time. Our hope is to encourage a couple that might be ready to throw in the towel and give up on their marriage to lean and depend on God's Promises and be lead by Him to work through their difficulties. We also pray that we may uplift and encourage those who are single, dating and considering marriage to follow God's way. Commit to marriage and do not allow outside influences and the world to determine their rules of living.

This book is made up of all the Old and New Testament verses that refer to end times, put together as puzzle pieces for the whole image to be seen. Every single prophecy from the Old and New Testament about the wrath of God, or the wrath of Israel's enemies over Israel and its land, is always followed by verses of promises for Israel's restoration or by declarations of the final sovereignty of Jesus Christ. This is the reason a book about end times-provided each prophecy is entirely read through, is a book about the restoration of Israel, and for Christians it is a book of hope and victory for every trial of the age they live in.

This book broaches the theme of the profanation of the Eucharist in the very bosom of the Roman-Catholic Church in North America which has been going on for approximately a half century. The problem consists in pouring the remaining Eucharistic Blood of Christ into the sacrarium (a special sink usually located in the sacristy of the church) after the distribution of Holy Communion during Mass. The essence of the matter is that this practice is strictly prohibited in the Catholic Church, and those who pour the Consecrated Wine into the sacrarium incur an automatic penalty of excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See (Canon 1367 of the Code of Canon Law and Paragraph 107 of the instruction on the Eucharist Redemptionis Sacramentum issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments). For Catholics, who believe in the real presence of the LORD Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, the aforementioned practice is a great liturgical and moral abuse. As a priest, I want to stir up the conscience of those who act contrary to the faith of the Catholic Church, and I dedicate the present book to this issue.

Marilyn Aerni started writing this book in 1967 in response to the diminishing value placed upon a woman's role in marriage, family and family life. She was still writing this book on the day she suffered a massive stroke in 2004. Our mother had a special relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit cultivated during the course of her lifetime. This book contains her journey through life, her marriage and the raising of her children accompanied by the love and intervention of God, His Son and His Holy Spirit. She offers her views on marriage, daily intervention with God, building and keeping trust within relationships as well as the means to fully enjoy these relationships and experience a full, rewarding life as a wife and a mother. It is our hope that through her experiences during her lifetime she might help you find fulfillment with your life experiences.

The church is being called to a new era in which the power of the risen Christ is relied on to heal the sick, and part the "Red Sea" of Christian problems, reflective of His power to overcome. The church is being called to an honest assessment of individual lives, leaders, talents, assets and abilities as well as character defects in order to heal and truly live the victorious life Christ died to give us. Sanctification goes beyond salvation to address the root cause of sin, besetting sins, and problems which threaten to destroy our families, communities, churches and the nation. Many churches focus on the number of salvations to monitor effectiveness. We are focused on different numbers: How many fall away from the faith because they are not taught how to righty apply the word of God to their needs?...How many children are beaten in the name of Christ, without our intervention?...How much money was embezzled from church funds due to the addiction of a trusted member?...How many people attend regularly and yet have no personal relationship with Christ? "Stop the Violence...Seven Stages to Sanctify...Claim the Promises of Christ," the companion workbook to "Journey of the Soul...," goes beyond academic exercises and focuses on self-awareness, deep reflection, honesty and faith. Different from "talk therapy" the "Seven Stages to Sanctify" is designed to address life's problems and challenges at the heart of the issue, rather than treating symptoms only. Based on the teachings of the Master, it is a powerful discipleship tool that is appropriate for one-on-one use, small, and large groups. Rev. Carrol Davis graduated from Furman University and was ordained in 1975.

"This thoughtful book speaks to a major concern for the church and for any in the secular world who think of themselves as just and humane. Given its author, it naturally examines persecution from a clearly Christian perspective. However, it also allows a considerable range of others to speak on aspects of interest to them. (This field is huge, and there remain many other voice to be heard). Avoiding biblical-theological jargon, Dr. Mok writes in a way apprehensible to a wide swath of the concerned and thoughtful public." --GEOFF WILKINS, retired school principal, school district superintendent, and an elder of the church "Lawrence Mok provides a sound and clear biblical understanding of the purposes for suffering in the midst of persecution. His work will be a strong, comforting support to those currently suffering and to all who want to prepare for coming persecution, wherever and whenever it may come." --WILLIAM BADKE, Librarian, Trinity Western University, for Associated Canadian Theological Schools and Information Literacy "Christians around the world are facing more persecution and pain than ever before. Dr Mok's book let us hear what Jesus and Paul say about this. It is a timely reminder." --DON FARIS, PhD, pastor, writer, politician and missionary Lawrence K. Mok was born in Singapore before moving to British Columbia, Canada. A graduate in electrical engineering from Lakehead University and Thomas Edison State University, he earned his M.A.R. from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary (Liberty University). His D.R.S. is earned from Trinity Theological Seminary endorsed by Canterbury Christ Church University. He also holds a doctor's degree in business administration, and has lectured in Canadian and Chinese universities. He is a member of the National Omicron-PSI Honor Society. When Persecution Causes Pain: A Message from Jesus and Paul is his first book.
