Norman Johnson is a man whose passion is to strive for structure in life that he may be a trendsetter and example to his family and all who looks up to him. Born on Setember 9, 1968, Norman grew up in Donnelly Homes in the northern part of Trenton, NJ. After dropping out of high school, he began working as a kitchen helper at Trenton State College to support his new family. Realizing the importance of an education, Norman enrolled at the local community college and obtained his G.E.D. while raising his family, which at the time consisted of his longtime girlfriend and three daughters. During his spare time, Johnson enjoys focusing on his hobbies and being with family. In 1998, Norman visited Miracle Tabernacle Church with his family who were already attendees. There, he gave his life to the Lord. Knowing God had a purpose for his life, he was soon afterwards baptized. Under the guidance of his pastor, Russell Bethea, he learned and practiced the disciplines of Christianity. During a three-year wilderness journey of incarceration, his marriage of one year with his longtime girlfriend ended. Brokenhearted, Johnson continued to diligently seek the Lord, an action that sparked the curiosity of the other inmates. Beginning a Bible study, Norman was able to win many to Christ and witnessed many change their perspective on life. When he returned home, Norman continued with Miracle Tabernacle Church and began to accompany the elders as they went into the community to bare witness to the Lord's goodness and to pass out literary tracts. Two years later he was licensed as a minister to preach and teach God's Word. In 2002, Norman married his long time friend Andrea, who grew up in the same neighborhood as he. Having Bible study in their home, Norman and Andrea witnessed mighty moves of God as many gave their lives to the Lord. Johnson later enrolled in the Maranatha Full Gospel Biblical Institute where he earned an accredited combined bachelor/graduate degree in theology. Seeking a new church home in 2010, Norman and Andrea joined Kingdom Church of New Jersey under the leadership and direction of Pastor Darius Daniels where he is now the assistant leader of the I-Care Community Outreach Ministry. Today as he continues to strive, Norman works as the second assistant manager of the Smolar Group LLC. His passion to teach and encourage men and women has made him a mentor to all who are under his direction. His efforts are continually seen in his life as he presses forth to be an example of excellence.

This book is a promise I made to the Lord. I promised Him if He would get me through the situation I was in; I would use my experience to tell others about His provision. He did His part and now I have no choice but to tell my story. Ever since I was young, the Lord has given me visions. As a matter of fact, as I began writing this book, God took me back ten years and revealed how He's been guiding me through every situation. I don't know what is going to happen next, but there is one thing I know for sure, the same God that has stepped in and protected me for the past ten years is going to get me out of whatever mess I find myself in! No one can stop me from praising and worshiping Him. The more they persecute me the stronger I stand in my faith. Now I can freely and confidently say He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and He is also my God! And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you. (Philippians 1:6 AMP)

Today's "Praise Teams" are based on personal preferences rather than on the word of God.

Family get-togethers are one of his favorite recreations. He loves studying the Bible, teaching class and writing in his spare time. Joe has seen the moral decay of today's churches steadily increasing. This decay always starts out as a seemingly innocent program eventually eroding the church that Jesus Christ built.

My Heart in Time depicts real life experiences. I am sharing them with you because you may be going through similar situations. With hope and faith in God we can conquer and overcome any obstacle. The book starts and ends with a poem regarding time. As time goes on there are many experiences to feel, capture and share. These poems were written from my heart with open and honest expression and are not meant to shock you. There are questions in life and we continue to search for answers. Things happen that are totally unplanned and unimaginable; just know that there is an answer, there is hope: my desire for you is that you will find the answer, "in time." I was introduced to poetry at a very early age, by my 2nd grade teacher. Her interpretation was impressive. She would read with such flare and eloquence, the words would literally come alive right off the pages. I was forever hooked. I would occasionally write poems but it was during my mom's final days that I really began to express myself. After mom passed, the poetry ceased...my heart ached way too much for any kind of expression...I was numb. About six months later I began to feel again, my heart began to stir, it began to heal. I found my voice. So with pen and paper in hand I expressed all that was dear to me. No lies, flowery words and empty nothings. I wanted to express how I really felt, deep down inside. I needed an outlet, to talk without anyone even listening...people get tired of hearing the same story over and over again. Writing gave me a voice and a platform. www.donnawilkinsonmaxwell.com

The Gettysburg Address - November 19, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.... The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Sheryl White's powerful book takes readers back to slavery.

Readers follow the journey of slaves and their freedom, meeting Sojourner Truth, but also witness how Laura delights in the glory of God. Xulon Press Review.

I've always believed that the bible is, and has always been its own dictionary, its own commentary and its own interpreter. And to that end I've conducted my studies. I wrote the book, "from darkness to light, my God is able". From the valuable lessons our Lord has taught me during my 56yrs of living. The lessons God teaches are meant to be life changing, in ways designed to bring glory to him.

In life, many will be confronted with challenges beyond their control, that have left them feeling as if they have been displaced while encountering brokenness from those in whom they loved and trusted. Many will find themselves questioning and wondering what will happen if they can't release the bitterness and anger that has consumed them as a result of intimidation and deprivation. Truthfully speaking, many will experience the misfortune that life will sometimes bring and the journey of recovery can seem to be so far out of reach. But, it's been stated that in spite of how difficult it may seem, that one must never allow someone to be their priority while allowing themselves to be their option. This book by Dr. Shirley M. Gaines concentrates on acknowledging the hurt people experience from others and how to overcome these personal offenses through forgiveness furthered by God. The Author seeks to motivate readers with the understanding that hurts are not to constrict their growth but define their paths, personalities and relationships with others.

Dr. Shirley as a result of her experiences has come to the conclusion that even though her storm seems to be the worst ever, that one can still come out alright.

"You have spoken truth on a most difficult subject. I was convicted and forced to see how I have been blinded to my own capacity to manipulate and abuse people. The spirit of your writing makes the sharp truth you deliver palatable. I love you for speaking a heavy truth with such love." Dr. Carl Morris; Senior Pastor - Abundant Life Church; Florence, South Carolina "I just finished your book! There is so much to say I would not know where to start. But let me just say this to begin with, it is information every one should read, know and be aware of." Al Campbell; Cincinnati, Ohio "It is a good book and covers the subject well. It is a book every Christian should read. Thanks for letting me read it." Bishop Houston Miles; Founder of Evangel Fellowship International Be sure to look for Dale's first book, "Hey God, Is It Too Much to Ask?" Coming soon... "Hey World, You Watch... You Wait... You'll See!" Author Dale Campfield writes, "Though this topic of manipulation might be a tough message, I am compelled to share it. I believe many of us, including myself, have misused our spiritual authority over people for too long and it must stop. It's time for spiritual leaders to stop manipulating the Church, and it's time for the Church to stop being manipulated. As long as the Church will allow itself to be manipulated by spiritual authority, she will never arise to the fullness of her call to accomplish her Kingdom Assignments. Hey, Church, stop being manipulated!"
