The fact that something is popular does not mean it''s correct. Real salvation brings a miraculous, sweeping change of heart-a change in the desires of the heart....the Lord is strongly opposed to greedy, selfish focus on the things of this world...These three statements represent the beginning, the middle and the end of a truth that eludes far too many Christians. Victor Hamakim draws his definition of sanctified success from 1 John 2:15-17, and declares it plainly: "...And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."Scripturally, God''s idea of prosperity is far removed from what many people think it is. They incautiously put aside the true teaching of Scripture on this very important topic. In God''s divine wisdom, most Christians are not called to be "great" in earthly position and possession. And Christians are certainly not saved to live ostentatiously and in selfish ambition.Sanctified Success does not rail against wealth, but it does seek to put material success into the proper perspective from a believer''s point of view. The foundational precept needed to appropriately understand prosperity, Hamakin asserts, is the willingness-more, the eagerness-to deny oneself in order to follow Christ. And though non-judgmental, the author is unflinching in delivering his message:These days, there is too much concentration by too many preachers and teachers on the things of this world, including overemphasis on pleasure and happiness, which God, in His amazing design, has already made provision for in the life of the earnest believer in Christ.Sanctified Success is an intelligent, insightful and comprehensive work that explains in plain language, referencing well-read Scripture, what Christ says about true prosperity.

"I was unclean. It was a divine punishment! I was a wasted human being living on borrowed time. I was a dead man walking."When we read the gospels and all the accounts of Jesus''s miracles, we don''t stop often enough to think about the fact that we''ve only been given the end of the story. What about the days, months, and years leading up to that one moment when everything changed for good? Sam Thomas brings you Heaven''s Short List, a collection of short stories that explore the miracles of Jesus in the New Testament from the perspective of the ones who received His healing. It''s hard for us, who have lived with the message of Christ in a Christian country since we were born, to really grasp the fact that the Jews in Israel had never even remotely seen or heard anything like Jesus. Before His birth and before His three years'' ministry, someone born blind or afflicted with leprosy had nowhere to place his hope. Heaven''s Short List shows how we can truly believe in and expect the goodness of God''s love when all evidence in our lives points to the contrary. Read it today!

Brian Warth: born into a world divided by race and gang affiliations, filled with violence. He grew up with one goal: to belong to the gang. To earn their acceptance and respect. To be cool. He knew no other life, no other future, no other dream. His earliest memories were filled with violence, loss, fear, and death. One older brother was gunned down in the streets and died in his teens. Another survived being riddled with bullets. Despite this, he followed in their footsteps. Despite knowing the pain of his brother's death, he was involved in the shooting death of a rival gang member, inflicting on others what he had suffered. At age sixteen, he was tried as an adult and sent to prison for life. Brian Warth: born again in the Los Angeles prison system, in a world divided by race and gang affiliations, weighed down with guilt, grief, rage and despair. His mind and heart claimed and cleansed by Christ, he had one goal and dream: To take the fresh hope of the Gospel to everyone in his new world. On the outside were people who loved him, who had prayed for him since his gang years. Their hope: to be granted parole. However, in power was a governor who declared that the only way a "lifer" was going to leave prison while he was governor was in a pine box. Let Brian tell you in his own words of his journey downward into the world of gangs, how he finally came face-to-face with the consequences of his actions and attitude, and the spiritual journey that followed, bringing him upward from the lowest point a man could ever face in his life. You, too, will arise.

Luke 19:10"For the Son of man is come to seek and save the lost."Most people feel like their sins are so horrible and that they are way too ashamed to even entertain the idea of a relationship with Jesus Christ. But I want you to know, this way of thinking is completely incorrect. Condemnation comes straight from satan himself. The Lord already knows every sin each of us has been struggling with. Jesus wants a relationship with each of us. He urges the sinner to confess with a repentant heart then let it go and grow every day as a Christian. He already knows....everything. And in spite of all we''ve done, he still loves us and is willing and ready to heal our lives. Do not believe satans lies. He was crucified for our sins. He paid a debt that we are unable to pay. He did something we couldn''t do. It was an act of Love. His love for us. Mary Nourian

I am a mighty little woman. I am not a bit more special to God, than you are. The true stories in this book are about a few of the small miracles that God has graciously performed in my daughter's and my life. I say few because many other miracles have happened in our lives.

"Life on earth is like walking a long and narrow fallen tree trunk across a rapid, but confident in knowing that God is holding your hand" This autobiography is based on my life's journey, looking back in assessing the mistakes I have made, and watching myself grow towards maturity, through the many changes and obstacles in life. In my adulthood, I did get to understand the purpose for me being here, my potentials, knowing why God created me for His glory, presenting me with an insignia ring on my left middle finger and giving me a new name. Making the right choices in life, willing to make difficult and unpopular decisions caused me to attain positive results without negative side effects. One of many lessons to learn from our ongoing tribulations is by trusting in the one and only God, He at times guided me through many dreams and visions. Remember, that man is only temporarily planted on planet earth and awaiting a new world to come. One of many lessons to learn from our ongoing tribulations in this world is that we are only temporary on planet earth awaiting the new world to come.

Simon of Cyrene did not have a pleasant and easy experience as he picked up the cross of Jesus, struggled, and carried the cross up Golgotha''s Hill. The road he had to travel was hard and rough. It was a mandate from God that this Simon should carry the cross for His Son. It was God''s will that Simon lead the scapegoat to a place for the deliverance of the entire world.Any story concerning the crucifixion is inherently interesting. This one, told from the point of view of an ordinary man from Cyrene named Simon, is especially intimate, as close to the cross as one can get without viewing events through the eyes of Christ Himself. The close details of the brutality against Jesus are made more vivid because Simon was right there, and we experience the horror through his eyes.What would''ve happened had Simon not carried the cross of Jesus up the Hill of Golgotha? What kind of example would be shown if he started the journey and not completed the task that God intended for him? These are two extremely thought-provoking questions, promoting a fresh perspective on this historical and world-changing eventMable Mitchell, the second of ten siblings, was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas.

"What is this?" "Where did it come from?" "How long has it been there?" These were the thoughts that kept Barb Dunn from sleep one night in January 2011 after finding a lump in her left breast. Visits with doctors and a battery of tests soon revealed that Barb had atypical lobular hyperplasia, a high-risk indication that she could potentially be diagnosed with breast cancer and which led to her choice for a bilateral mastectomy. Instead of doubting her future or giving up hope, Barb put her faith and trust in the only comfort she knew, God Almighty. Her new book, Whispers of Wisdom, comprises a collection of journal entries, emails and personal reflections that create a chronological "flashback" to her life-changing health ordeal. "Although the thought of having potentially cancerous cells in my breasts frightens me, I have information. I don't know what final decisions I will eventually make using this information but at least I have the knowledge. Now, I need the wisdom. There are so many details, so many pieces to put together. Even with my scientific and medical background, it all seems overly complicated to me - but not to God. Nothing is too complicated for Him. I need to remember that, and to remind myself to take one step at a time." Barb soon saw God's presence and involvement in her life as He positioned caring and Christian-minded medical professionals and prayer warriors in her path, bringing about scripture verses that pertained to her situation and speaking to her softly in prayer. Her journey wasn't just a battle to teach her more about God; it was an experience to share Jesus shining inside her to others. Besides strengthening her relationship and reliance on God, Barb hopes her story positively inspires other people who are undergoing difficult circumstances in their lives, health-related or not.

This is a book about Bible Prophecy. I go into detail concerning the "beast" of Revelation, the prospects for the church of God, and several of the major nations on earth. At this writing the prospects for the USA are dire. We are building the debt from which there can be no return. We are cutting our military strength at a time when the other major powers are arming to their teeth. Conditions in Europe are bringing the EU into a position to challenge US supremacy. Germany is the driving power in Europe. At home we are descending into a morass of social problems. Our children are uneducated, but the masters of video games. A great nation can not be sustained in this manner, much less the super power. Open, rampant sin is now considered alternate "lifestyles." This nation was founded on a relationship with Almighty God, He will not look the other way. We will be repaid for our conduct. Pastor Shults oversees two churches and administers Hungry Hearts Ministries in Jackson TN. He has written eight books on how to have a closer walk with Jesus Christ.

Be Ready When The Bridegroom ComesThen shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.And at midnight there was a cry made, behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.But the wise answered, saying, not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage; and the door was shut.Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, lord, lord, open to us.But he answered and said, verily i say unto you, I know you not.Watch therefore; for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the son of man cometh. (Matthew 25: 1-13)Rev. S. Elbert Gaffney

We have been taking bad ideas from Satan since the fall. These ideas continue to place us in bondage. Ideas have the power to build or destroy lives, redeem or corrupt cultures, save or damn souls. John Maynard Keynes believed that the "power of vested interest" is a small matter compared to "the gradual encroachment of ideas." I refer to Satan and demons as spiritual shadow forces, and those people who follow him knowingly (most unknowingly) as human shadow forces. Those who manage our world are not stupid; some are evil, some have the best of intentions, but all are flawed. It is with this situation that we see technology advance, allowing a virtual grid, a net of surveillance to strip every strata of our privacy from us, a system not only capable, but in many cases designed, to manage the population of the globe. We see our leaders from diversified countries trying to mold international governing bodies that can utilize these technologies to their greatest capacity; something that has the potential of being very good, or the most powerful evil force ever perpetrated upon the earth. We now see shadow forces coming out of the shadows and taking a fuller and more open advantage of the gradual encroachment of ideas. What is the Christian community called to do about it? The dangers are real, but so is our God. This book is a call to arms; a call to watch, occupy and overcome to the glory of God.
