God is to be worshipped. I knew that, but I did not know how. I asked the Lord one day how He wanted me to worship Him, and He gave me Worship Songs. Every day, we would meet, and He would give me a song—sometimes two, sometimes more. It was amazing how the Holy Spirit was speaking, and as He was speaking, I was writing His every word. The Lord gave me two hundred songs. Not only did God want me to hear and sing these songs but He wanted His words manifested in my life.

Do you feel like you're constantly racing around but never accomplishing anything of value? Would you like to feel content at the end of the day?

Do you feel more like a dark cloud than salt and light? That pain and crisis in your life can be the sandpaper God uses to shape you into the person He designed you to be. Don't give up. He never gives up on you!

From the author's perspective, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is alive in the Earth; however, it seems to have lost its way and is struggling to recover its purpose and its energy.

Hopefully, those who listen to it will be encouraged, strengthened, and motivated to renew their personal pursuit of Christ.

Loss is an extremely heavy burden to bear, especially if it is the loss of someone who has been by your side for a quarter century.

I have always been a firm believer in the healing power of the written word, for both the listener and the writer. This manuscript was written as a means of allowing me to heal and, with my healing, allowing me to assist the four beautiful children my wife gave to me through this ordeal.

Have you ever searched everywhere for your keys, only to find that they were literally right in front of you? Or have you read reviews about a restaurant and based your possible experience on the experiences of others?

Have we esteemed man over God?! This book explores what happens when you allow God to be your teacher. His teachings change your entire life.

Matthew 5: 16 says, "Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, who is in heaven" (NASB 1995). Thus, this book seeks to glorify God--the Creator and Owner of the earth and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it (Psalm 24: 1 NASB)--by encouraging people to live a more abundant life and to live it to the full (John 10: 10).

I have always believed in God and the miracles that He performs daily. I just never thought I would be the recipient of one of those miracles! I like to classify these miracles as two separate entities: “Divine healing,” after something is already there and then suddenly disappears, and “Divine intervention,” something is found when looking for something else and is fixed, therefore saving a life—the latter being my case. I feel like God saved me for a reason, and that reason is to bring others closer, or “back” to Him, hence the reason I felt led to write this book.

Why do we have the freedom to choose? What are the choices we make? Why do we make certain decisions? How do we reason and select or evaluate our choices to make life work for us? Or is it about us? Pro-Choice, Pro-God, Pro-Life: A Multiple-Choice Answer for a Humanity Question addresses these inquiries and others. Choice is a fundamental freedom in a free society as opposed to a dictatorship. Choice has always been a God-given ability for angelic beings and humans.

Prayer presents itself as God's gift and the only avenue to enjoy communion with the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Think of it: actual connection and companionship between you and the Almighty! Understanding this relationship, purchased by Christ, is the purpose of the book you hold in your hands.

This is the final put-down of racism and all of its tendencies against Black people. This is the clean-up of the diminished residue at the cross and the exposure of the disposal of racism and all the mess of it. This is the resurrection of Christ for the Black children of God. The love a Father has for his children is on display. Embrace it, ponder it, write it, observe it, have it. Ask me, and consider life without racism. Consider my sons and daughters free to operate, function, and live in my image and likeness without white thought or demonic interferences and hindrances.

This is a testimony of faith, a story of how Jesus found Dawn, steeped in trauma and drug abuse, at the age of sixteen. Her walk of faith was not linear. She gives an honest and unfiltered look into the messy walk of a believer in Christ. Her story is one of hope. Despite all the odds, she became the person that no one would have thought possible. Her life story shows that every promise and word of God does prove true. No matter how far we stray back out into the "wilderness," he will still come for us.

The helicopter lifted off from a small village in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Joan sat, tears pouring down her cheeks, staring blankly out the window, unable to take it in. Ten years of her life, her whole heart, and all her creativity had been invested there. Was it now to be abruptly torn away forever, with no completion or closure?

In today's world, the common has become the norm. Just take a glance at any social media platform--everyone seems to be following the same trends. But imagine if you could break away from the ordinary and lead an extraordinary life. Hebrews 11 holds a powerful but often overlooked message: it reveals the stories of individuals who defied the norm, enduring challenges and living remarkable lives to inspire and empower us to do likewise. God is shaping you through your current situation, not to be average but to be extraordinary--someone ready to be used for His glory.

Paul was rescued by a family at 1:00 am. on a dark and lonely road after being told by the spirit to "Go to the highway as fast as you can."
