Luke 1:26-56 tells the story of the announcement to the Virgin Mary of the birth ofJesus. Ford identifies and examines a pattern of six truths in Mary''s response, amodel for how believers should implement a God-given task that seems utterlyimpossible.ΓÇó Accept God''s Blessing of FavorΓÇó Ask the Right QuestionΓÇó Take Encouragement From What God is Doing for Others NowΓÇó Seize the OpportunityΓÇó Go on VacationΓÇó Make God BiggerEach chapter begins with a biographical slice of Mary''s life-not fictionalized per se,but intelligently extrapolated from Scriptural roots. Ford''s eloquently casual prosepresents Mary as a very young and vulnerable girl who received the most wonderfulnews in history. Being Mary, an unmarried, pregnant teenaged girl, could havebeen a death sentence during that time of Levitical law. In her faith and humility,with a spirit of praise, Mary chose to let go and let God.

Karen Craig's Matin Latin is a perfect introduction to the study of languages in the elementary grades. Her unique Latin-English combination is such a practical approach. Karen takes the student beyond the memorization of vocabulary and chants. She equips the student with all she needs to be able to read and write simple Latin stories early in the study of Latin. Karen Craig's strong linguistic background is very evident in her "picture-approach" to learning language and her systematic way of guiding the teacher and student. Having had my third grade son complete this material, I highly recommend Matin Latin as a first text in the pursuit of Latin. D. Witthuhn

At the age of 57, I was given a gift from above to write and create all that is in this book and many other poems as I continue to write. My Ideas have come to me as I''ve sat in front of my computer through out the day and into some late nights. It gives me great pleasure to have my poems I have written and created to be published. I hope that what I have written may touch many hearts. I am so blessed to have seven great and beautiful Grandchildren that I love very much. One day my Granddaughter Alyssa said to me, "Grandpa you should put your poems in a book for everyone to read and enjoy because they are so unique!"Thank You for reading my thoughts.David Rodriguez Jr.www.creativepoems4u.com

Bringing people to Christ is the underlying purpose of this book. This is why we constantly search for techniques and ideas to win souls for the Lord. Let us look to the Bible; Romans 10:14 gives the following guidance. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can theybelieve in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear withoutsomeone preaching to them? (NIV) This book was written for the primary purpose of assisting those small-to-moderate size churches "get the word out" telling the story about the good works they are doing within their congregations and their communities to bring people closer to God. I choose the tools of marketing and public relations - my chosen profession - and applied the principles of evangelism. I believe this to be my personal ministry. If your church budget will not accommodate a staff member dedicated to the tasks of marketing and public relations, this book will show the Public Relations Committee Chairperson how to handle just about every marketing task needed. If your church has assigned the task of marketing and/or public relations to an associate minister who has no hands-on experience in this field, this book is the answer. If you are a seasoned public relations or media specialist working within your church, this book will provide you with a strategy for directing your skills to work with a church and its ministries. Of course, it does not hurt the pastor to learn more about how marketing and public relations tools and tactics can assist in the growth of the church and simultaneously help people to create a relationship with God. Ambassador Michael Battle, U. S. Representative to the African Union, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; former President of The Interdenominational Theological Center (Atlanta, GA)Ms. Jackson-Ransom is to be commended for developing this exceptional public relations and marketing resource for the Church. Her years of success, representing clients and managing the reputations and activities of individuals and organizations in the public and private sector, have produced a savvy handbook that appropriates that same professional media and marketing know-how to pastors and lay leaders. Clear and concise, the instruction should empower readers to better understand the requisite approach, timing and professional response that today''s competitiveness requires to effectively represent ministry through media. It is truly "First Class!" Reverend Dr. William A. Flippin, Senior Pastor, Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church (DeKalb Co, GA) - This book is a must read for every pastor and church leader. The whole idea of "marketing our church and ministry" is relatively new in our culture. Bunnie Jackson-Ransom has this matter of fact style when she speaks and writes. Her advice and experience are sound. The world is changing at a rapid pace. Yet, the church continues to lag behind with outdated methods that will not reach future generations. Her passion is evident when she spoke to our church staff and leaders. Her work and guidance with our public relations team, church trustees, and ministry staff has already yielded positive results. Not only read this book, but allow Bunnie to speak personally and coach your team on these principles. We are proud she came our way.

A missionary-preacher, teacher, medic, and friend-to the province of Papua,Indonesia, Stringer lived her love for Christ and His children to the exclusion ofpersonal gain and modern convenience. Through detailed memory, anecdotes andexcerpts from her journals, she shares the array of unforgettable characters shelived, worked and praised with for forty years.Living out love is an evocative, soul-stirring phrase, containing nothing of theworldly, starry-eyed, stomach-a-flutter ethereal. Rather, the concept seems verylike the hammering out of salvation on God''s own glowing forge; teaching a man tofish instead of sending him a manual.To witness such zeal and faith must surely be a moving experience for any minister,and certainly much more so to one who works in distant and primitive lands. JesusLed Me All the Way is simply one of the most engaging and immersive recollectionsof a missionary life ever written.

A BASE jumping, Bible thumping, action sport lumping, spiritual warfare clumping mix of symbolic reality! This Present Darkness meets Fight Club meets X-Games from a Christian worldview that's free from the Matrix of sin and death. On any given day, on any given street, at any given moment: an invisible war is raging-through forces within and forces without. The victors of the battle are not always what they seem, and sometimes the greatest enemy is the one closest to you. I was born and raised in Cordova, Alaska, and was a commercial fisherman and semi-pro' snowboarder before being called to become a fisher of men at age 31. My zeal for action sports has been combined with an infinitely greater zeal for God, both in this book and in my Christian snowboard videos at faithandaction.net.

Out From Under My Rock speaks to persons who may have had serious challenges along their life’s journey. It addresses procrastination, difficulty reaching out to others, lack of purpose, locked up potential, and self-destruction. The author shares how she overcame with God’s help. Mrs. Florence PhillipsH. Lavity Stoutt Community CollegeOut From Under My Rock made me laugh, it made me reflect and in doing so it made me sad in some instances because … it can apply to any of us - for the truth is, some of us are still "under the rock" and need to be liberated. … It is well grounded in the Bible and philosophical in presentation.Mrs. Bernadine LouisH. Lavity Stoutt Community CollegeThis book has changed my way of thinking, especially as it relates to the many things that I allow my mind to focus on.

Μy motto for the manual is: "Before one''s problem can be uprooted, one must first identify the core of the problem." The Holy Spirit inspired me to design this manual to help others fight through the painful residuals of life experiences. The Holy Spirit revealed that Satan held me captive in mental and emotional prisons through deception and lies. I suffered needlessly because I did not fight with my most powerful weapon, the word of God. I was guilty of having an unforgiving heart and felt justified to hold grudges, which kept me a prisoner to my hurts. My passion is to help save others from being stuck in their prisons of past hurts and fears and experience spiritual freedom to live the abundant life promised by God. True freedom is to love others as Christ has loved us. Melvina is wife of Rockne Dilosa, Pastor of Bibleway Church of God''s Word located in Gary, Indiana. Her heart desire is to teach the people of God how to fight skillfully with the word of God to become warriors and experience the abundant life through Christ. In her community young people were dying needlessly through violence, she was moved with compassion and sought God for a plan. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit she designed an empowerment program to help individuals work through their pain, hurts and fears to move forward in life. For the past 18 years God has opened doors and allowed her to bless youth summer camps, residential care facilities, homeless shelters, Northwest Indiana Correctional Facilities and aftercare transitional homes for ex-offenders. God has blessed their marriage of 39 years with thirteen children, thirty plus grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

In her twenties, Elizabeth was licensed and "Commissioned for Service Abroad" in Africa. She traded in that commission "for the love of a man" and his two children. He died after ten and one half months, leaving Elizabeth alone to carry the burden within her of a child unborn who grew up with a unique mind of his own. Later, Elizabeth found herself stricken with bi-polar behavior. She looked to this same God, to whom she had cried many times, pleading with Him for help. He came to her in the form of a Shepherd, comforting her wounded spirit.Those times were most precious for there was no other who could see the depths of her hurt. Elizabeth now enjoys life on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Becca came home from school, not knowing that her life was about to change drastically. When her parents did not return from work, or answer her calls, she started to panic! She turned on the news to find that all over the world, people had disappeared. She was soon to discover that her little brother, mom, and dad were among the missing. Jake lived across town. His family had also vanished without a trace. Unlike Becca, he instantly knew what had happened. A series of events drew the two together in the midst of a world in chaos. They wished that they had taken their parents more seriously, but they could only move forward from there. Were they courageous enough to embrace their destiny and save lives along the way?

"...the woman was chosen by Satan as his perfect target not for being the weak sex between the two, but because she carried within her the maximum expression of the creative power of God in His creatures." In her book "My name is Woman", Laura Fernandez approaches a theme as old as the history of the world and updates it with a solid argument; God created the woman with a purpose, where in equality with man and in unity with him, could offer a dignified service to the family, society and the Creator. In her book, the author maintains the difficult balance - so scarce in this subject - between firmness to defend the woman's value and the respect to man as husband and partner in the same venture. At this phase in history, when the female's proportion in the church has grown and it becomes necessary a broader service in God's cause, the role of today's Christian woman confronts the challenge, and at the same time the opportunity, to develop her gifts simultaneously with men, overlooking the useless and miserable prejudice that have delayed the advances of the divine plan. "My name is Woman" is a book that every woman - and every man - should read with an open mind to new horizons on behalf of the global and final evangelization. Rolando de los Rios, Pastor Evangelist of the Florida Association of the Seventh Day Adventists and Director/Speaker of the radio program "Revelation". Laura R. Fernandez is a vibrant and passionate professional with more than 27 years in healthcare service.

Rehana was a devout Moslem born and raised in Guyana, South America. Vowing to never become a Christian, she gave her life to Jesus and invited Him to be Lord in December 1994. It's quite a story in itself, but not the focus of this book. However, as she excitedly pursued a relationship with Jesus after a miraculous born again experience, an issue with pornography (from her pre-Christian days) began to resurface. As she struggled to overcome this sin and hindrance in her life in order to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ, He asked her to write this book. Not quite sure what to make of this instruction except that God wanted her to "air her dirty laundry in public" Rehana allowed the spirit of procrastination to rule. At the beginning of 2013, she felt the Lord impress upon her to get this work completed. Read to find out the result of her obedience to God's command and in the process learn that God loves you despite the sin that has ensnared your life. You will see how satan, that enemy of yours, uses pornography to torpedo your destiny, and steal your life. In this book you will learn a simple yet much neglected truth - IF JESUS SAYS IT JUST DO IT! And your PERSISTENCE paves the way for God's SUPERNATURAL ASSISTANCE. The very simplicity of this book reflects the simplicity of the Gospel. This book is filled with encounters Rehana had with Jesus as He stood by her side walking her through this struggle. You will catch a first hand glimpse of the love of Jesus for those that are bound and oppressed, but long to live for Him, and Him only.

Do miracles still exist today, even for me, you may ask? Yes, they show impossible things that cannot happen-actually do happen-supernaturally, against all reasoning and knowledge; they show that God cares deeply about you and wants to be involved in every aspect of your life. Miracles are amazing beyond description. I can attest to the fact that miracles are real; they still exist today and shout God's love, provision and deliverance in sudden and unexpected ways. This book is filled with real life miracles, and I intend to show you how you can experience miracles from God, too, in the midst of life's greatest challenges and threats.

Research scientist that takes part in overseas ministries? Not him, thought James Rapp, when he pictured the cautious person he was, content just being a glass technician in a reputable manufacturing company. However, gentle nudges from God quickly led James out of his comfort zone and into a thriving relationship with Jesus. In his new book, A Scientist in the Shadow of God, James recalls countless incidents where promptings from the Holy Spirit helped him to overcome personal challenges and embrace opportunities of blessing. It began with God's assistance to erase James's fear of public speaking that led him into ministry, thanks to impromptu ministry opportunities with his wife Sharon. Through miraculous events at work, James traveled overseas and soon was encouraging ministry in the Far East, primarily in Japan, China and Taiwan. What started as a "Why me?" mindset towards ministry later transformed into a lifelong calling in evangelism.

My story will contain many interesting short stories, with humor throughout, such story may go like this: While working on the Alaskan Pipeline Project as a Physician Assistant, a man was digging a ditch with a backhoe, suddenly, a brown bear showed up "irritated" that this ''creature'' was trespassing upon his territory! While the backhoe''s bucket was quickly put into the up position, . . . the bear responded aggressively by standing on his two rear legs and cocked his head back and forth; . . . when the bucket was jiggled by the laughing operator, then the bear was infuriated and livid . . . that this monster usurped territorial claims, . . . after all, he was King of the Tundra!! He forcefully swatted at the bucket with one paw then the other while the operator of the backhoe chuckled and recoiled from the tremors brought about via the bear''s strength, . . . within the cabin of the machine. After some time, . . . the furry beast did not find any humor in this warfare! After a couple of swift flurries of left and right swats at this behemoth, . . . and with the resulting jarring of the operator''s cabin, this bear, with disgust written on his face, left in humiliating defeat! (See PROVERBS 17:12, "Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.").

I am excited to recommend this book by my good friend Pastor George H. Haines III. This book merits not only personal reading, but is an excellent resource for every pastor. Garry W. Blackmon Sr., Senior Pastor Crossway Christian Fellowship Houston, TexasPastor Haines writes in a very practical fashion, very similar to his impactful preaching style. He reminds me of the style of James, who penned the most pragmatic Book in the New Testament. We are challenged to experience new encounters with God and the work is abounding with testimony of modern day miracles, calling us to believe again! Pastor A. Davidson., First John Church, Houston, TexasThe Opportunity is a tremendous source of encouragement and hope for the church pastor who is weathered, worn, burned out, disillusioned, and discouraged in their ministry and personal life. Artis Lovelady, III - M.L.S., M.A.C.E.Pastor - Word of Grace Missionary Baptist Church - Houston, TexasPastor Haines is a spiritual product of Houston inner city missional ministries and the founding Pastor of Fellowship Community Church in Kemah, Texas.
