From terrorist attacks to anti-patriotism in our classrooms and beyond, the United States of America is under attack from all fronts. We are quickly losing our identity as Americans, and the American dream has become an American nightmare for many. Just look around. Child pornography is everywhere, filth permeates television airwaves, the homosexual and feminist movements have forced legislation for the legalization of marriage between gays and lesbians, and abortion and divorce are commonplace. Meanwhile, rebellious and obnoxious youth are everywhere, violence is constant, and our national and local governments are dysfunctional. Our health care system is also a mess: We are a fat, irresponsible, and a sick nation. We’ve neglected our health and abused our bodies. We are continuously and carelessly exhausting those systems designed to care for us, and the ramifications are taking a serious toll. It’s time to seek real solutions to the problems that plague us with the insights in The Audacity of Truth.
The Mystery of God's Holiness: God's Good News for the Gentiles contains two threads that run throughout the entire Bible. It illuminates for the reader the origins and spread of God's holiness, from the day God told Moses that his feet were standing on holy ground to the time the creatures in John's book of Revelation cry, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty." It also sheds light on God's extension of the good news from Palestine to all nations of the earth. For when Jesus Christ confronted Paul, and he was converted on the Road to Damascus, Jesus appointed Paul as his apostle to the Gentiles. So Paul devoted the rest of his life to spreading the Good News and founding Christian churches throughout the Roman Empire. The result is that this Good News has gone from the Roman Empire to Europe, to America, and around the entire world. This book also provides what one might call a minicourse on church history, from the time of Jesus to the present day.
This book might have been titled, “Understanding the Afterlife for Dummies”, but we are not dummies. We simply have never been taught what happens after this physical life ends. We are promised “eternal life”, but what and when and where is that? This is a clear presentation, using real-life experiences and photos accompanying those, that show our loved ones are still with us, not just in our hearts and memories, but in our homes and cars and daily lives.
Journeying into the depths of Brazil's Amazon rainforest, distilling meaning from dreams, and drawing deeply from transpersonal studies, ritual entheogen use, non-ordinary states of consciousness, and scientific research are the foundations for Ayahuasca Awakening: A Guide to Self-Discovery, Self-Mastery and Self-Care. In this two-part guidebook for personal and spiritual development, Reverend Jessica Rochester, D.Div draws from her life experiences as well as the expertise of a wide variety of transpersonal and scientific professionals. Volume One: Self-Discovery and Self-Mastery explores the mystery of incarnation, the "maps" of the self, emerging paradigms of consciousness, the role of the Light and shadow in spiritual development, cycles of change, mediumship, the power of the will and restoring authenticity.
In this country alone, there are over 22 million children receiving free or reduced meals during the school year. During the summer months those same children can scarcely find a free nutritious meal. Using Lamentations 2:19 as a guide, Christians are to respond to the hunger that they see on the streets of America and eventually throughout the world. The assignment begins at home, by making sure that no child goes hungry in America. I present this book to stir, to move, and, to compel Christians to action in regards to ending hunger in the name of Jesus Christ. I lay out compelling reasons biblically, historically, and, theologically, why Christians should respond to the call to feed hungry children. I pray that this book liberates Christians, to take action for the children in our neighborhoods, in our state, in our country and in the world who need food.
Paul David Tripp helps hurting people to see their circumstances from an eternal perspective, gently uncovering the wrong motives, faulty reasoning, and misguided conclusions that can blind us to the truth of God's love and goodness.

There was a young lad who lived in Jerusalem whose family followed the laws and traditions of the Jewish culture.

One of his favorite miracle stories was the healing of the blind man at the Pool of Siloam. This young lad, John Mark, and his family knew Jesus well. They provided their Upper Room for Jesus and His disciples to celebrate the Passover meal. Preparations took place for this special event with both a joyful and a sad time before the conclusion of Jesus’ earthly life.
This book is a powerful story about my dad, Nelson B. Staples Jr., who was confronted with death on several occasions, only to see God undeniably defy death on his behalf, which made Dad a walking miracle. Dad’s life was guided by God as he worked in the coal mines for twenty years, served in the United States Military during the Jim Crow era, as he worked for the Veterans Administration Hospital as supervisor of building management and EEO counselor for thirty-two years, and as he was pastor of several churches in rural West Virginia. Even though my dad faced much opposition, God gave him the vision to become the founder and builder of the Mount Zion Baptist Church in Beckley, West Virginia, which had over eight hundred members on the church roster during his tenure.

Sodium Balls: A Reverend’s Journey by Rev. Robert P. Mitchell, M.Div. Sodium Balls chronicles Rev. Robert P. Mitchell’s Jonah-like odyssey to the pulpit. From the cradle on, music drove Rev. Mitchell’s life – both to Christ and away from Him. Someone once told him that he is “existentially tied into his singing.” Torn between opera and faith, Christianity and Judaism, Sodium Balls takes the reader on a wild journey from dangerous Halloween (sodium balls) pranks to the opera stage to corporate board rooms to his first pulpit.
