Once you say, "I believe!", now what? Now, it is time to begin the process of becoming a disciple of Christ, to grow and mature in your faith. Now What? addresses the biblical mandate of "making disciples" (Matthew 28:19) through the consistent application of the means of grace—those activities or "disciplines" designed by God to conform us more and more into the image and likeness of Christ. Tommy lays out a simple framework designed to help the new believer build his Christian life on the Rock of Jesus Christ. But that's not all.

I never understood just how important a human soul could be to God. The soul is the only thing we actually own and the only place I belonged. I was raised by a single mother, and she loved God with all her heart. So many times, we would fall asleep to the sound of gunfire. Out of this chaos, God chose me. I fought against Him and His will for so long. Every time I knocked down by life and Satan, God and all His love would stand me up again, stronger than before.

Let this book transport you into a love relationship that is pure and holy. That is God’s love for us. Through the true-life experiences and Biblical truths shared here, you can enter more deeply—or maybe for the first time ever—into a vibrant connection with the God of Heaven and Earth, who gave himself for you and now shares himself by His Holy Spirit and His Word. I had to learn—through failure, through difficulty forgiving myself, and through trials—about love. Love for myself. Love for God. And love from God toward me and through me to others.

Lost in the bush for 84 hours at the age of three, recovery was slow. During the doctor's visit when she was seven, she overhears the physician tell her mother, "Your daughter is cognitively deficient." Years of mental calisthenics and low self-esteem ensue, God's interventions teach her not to believe the lies people tell her and the bigger lies she tells herself. The sudden loss of an older brother carves a hole in her life so deep; it disconnects her from God. This story is about faith, family, love, tragedy, and trusting God even when you're mad at him.

So often we think God doesn't hear us during our struggles when we cry out to Him. Like many, after praying and not getting a response, I thought it was up to me to find the solutions and answers to struggles I encountered. As a result of my ignorance, I replaced God and His power with what I thought were answers that weren't the answers after all. Growing Through the Storm is a story of triumphs and lessons learned while trying to find solutions to unwanted circumstances during not one but two troubled marriages.

Life is not always perfect, even when you walk the journey of being called into the ministry. In fact, sometimes you might lose your way. In trying to please the world and all who walk in my world daily, I lost who Ruby was. It was difficult for quite some time to even want to allow God in. That's sort of crazy, because I knew that He not only called me His daughter, but He knows my everyday journey. I've known God all my life, but in October 2018, God came and spoke His love in such a way that healing began for me. This day in my ministry began new life for me.

This book is written for the lost. It originated as a result of an epiphany based on an article about the Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars. Once a year, Curiosity would stop and celebrate the anniversary of its arrival on Mars by stopping briefly to sing "Happy Birthday" to itself.

To the men and women of God listening to The Eucharist: Jesus This is Your Heart: I have given you what the Father God has in His heart for His children. Focus on God's divine will for your lives. His greatest joy is to fill our troubled hearts with peace. First, we must empty our hearts from all concerns, and then we receive and are ready to cherish God's will and treasures.

A living lost soul in this book can be a life from the old life to a born-again new life in Jesus.

It's a great gift from a Holy King who loves like nobody can touch his love. Love is his character; look what he did for me; he will do it for you too.

This audiobook contains 20 stories of hope from those (including the author) who have chosen to rise out of hardship and challenge into joy and service to others. The use of baking powder as a symbol for the action-agent or catalyst for the "rising" process originates from the author's great-grandmother's incredible biscuits, all symbolic of a transformation made possible by that "magic ingredient" and the life-giving bread that resulted. These stories carry the unique Appalachian context of the author, which flavors her own experiences and her interpretations.
