Churches the world over are claiming to embrace Christianity while they embrace the world with a consuming passion. Biblical wickedness is at astounding levels and being embraced by the professing church. A religion which denies that Jesus is the Christ is rising on the world scene like a raging inferno. The cries of our slain unborn are crying out to God like the blood of righteous Able. Armies are massing around the borders of Israel. The world is embracing a doctrine of "Every man has a right to do what is right in their own eyes". Mothers are killing their own children leaving the natural affection of motherhood. Persecution against the church is on the rise. Are we in the last days spoken of by our Lord Jesus Christ? The love of many has grown cold toward God but immorality in the church is fueling the flames of sin. We must be about our Fathers business and trim the wicks so that we can witness, live and preach in the power of the Holy Spirit in these trying times. This book is an appeal to the Christian. It is laying bare the truth that we are at the midnight hour. It is not an explanation of the Book of Revelation. It is an exhortation to turn to Christ with all of our hearts that we may be found in him with our whole heart. I hope you get the blessing and exhortation in Christ that is the driving force behind this book. It was my fingers that typed but it is Gods burden, The Holy Ghost guidance and the Lord Jesus Christ love that compelled me to write. May God bless you abundantly in the Spirit of Christ as you read. In Christ wonderful and everlasting service, Rev. RonnieHixon

The train that was the happy life of Ronnie and Merry was derailed by Merrys rapid, unexpected death from pancreatic cancer. This nonfiction book chronicles Ronnies grief and thoughts on life and God during the days leading up to her death and during the year that followed. It captures the raw emotion of a man as he seeks to understand and cope with the loss of his wife. It follows one rule in its telling: it must be honest from the start. That honesty and raw emotion comes through in every paragraph and makes this a very personal, well-told story. Anyone that has known the loss of a loved one can relate to this story and hopefully will be helped by knowing that it is a path well traveled. They are not alone and are not the first to travel to wherever, whenever. The life we plan is seldom the life we end up with. In the end, it comes down to faith and trust in God. That trust gives us the ability to walk through the wreckage of our broken plans and our broken lives and onto the path that God intends for us to follow. Join Ronnie on his journey toward that path.

What is your greeting? Do you have one specific to all occasions? What does it say about you and the way you view your life experiences? "Right on top" is the characteristic greeting of the author, defining his mind-set for the early start of each day. Our word of greeting flows from our lips as words and ends up flowing from the tip of our fingers as actions regarding everything we do. This book examines nine areas of importance in his life with helpful encouragement to others to replicate his daily experience: heritage, balance, rules, success, heroes, posterity, wife, work, God. "When an old man dies, a library burns." The challenge presented in his book is for the reader to examine the important things in life and share their experiences before the library burns. The author's hope, for the many who consider themselves only average, is that they would rise up to a new level of living; that they might regard every day as a gift and approach every situation as a giver; that the biblical concept of salt and light would become a daily reality; and at the end of the day, when all has been considered, they might conclude that the best description of their time here on earth could be summed up in three simple words--right on top.
Popular pastor Floyd's insights on the often overlooked, always faith-strengthening discipline of prayer and fasting have been revised for this updated edition.
Helps pastors adopt an approach to ministry that is effective, enjoyable, and sustainable. Being a pastor is not a regular 9-to-5 job. There is an unending list of important things to do as you seek to serve others sacrificially. The demands of ministry make it difficult to find a healthy rhythm of life and work, and can leave you running on empty. How can we develop a sustainable pattern of ministry that both honors the Lord and the people we care for and that will also protect us from burnout? Ronnie Martin and Brian Croft have each spent decades pastoring churches and supporting ministry leaders. Here they encourage fellow shepherds to embrace a more present-focused, unhurried approach to ministry. They show how this starts with accepting their humanity, pursuing humility, and remembering the hope they have in Christ. They also exhort pastors to fuel their ministry with self-awareness, prayer, and contemplation of Jesus. After giving a framework for this approach to ministry, the authors offer lots of practical advice regarding prioritization, managing schedules, and cultivating supportive friendships. Read this book to deepen your joy, help yourself to serve others more effectively and continue serving God in ministry for many years to come.

Ronnie is snooker's most written and talked about player, and its greatest showman. His supreme talent and style have made him the People's Champion and, as one commentator put it, 'the question is not how much does Ronnie O'Sullivan need snooker, but how much does snooker need Ronnie O'Sullivan?' A honest and candid account of his extraordinary life, Ronnie tells of the infant who was introduced to legendary snooker clubs at an impossibly early age; of the boy who frightened off the bookies aged just 12; of the teenager whose life was decimated when his father and mentor was sent to prison for life; and of the man dubbed the 'genius' of the modern game who regularly threatened to quit the sport to pursue other interests at the grand old age of 28. 'A fine autobiography ... compelling' - Independent 'O'Sullivan is as frank about his spell in the Priory clinic as he is about his father's murder conviction. His accounts of snooker tournaments and sketches of the sport's personalities will fascinate fans, but even snooker haters will be rooting for Ronnie in the game of life' - OK!

You Are Loved is like chatting with God on a summer day. Just lounging in the shade with an occasional gentle breeze. The more you read the book the more you will understand what real divine love is all about. God will give you something to hold on to in this book. That something is His inconceivable love and compassion for you. God does not just love the world. He loves you, intimately. “Ronnie is a caring and compassionate gentleman with a wealth of life experience. We would all greatly benefit from reading and implementing his ideas and counsel. In every book there are nuggets that should not be overlooked. I pray you find a few of those nuggets in this work that will be to your profit.” Steve Veteto, PhD Director, Rocky Mountain Campus Gateway Seminary It has been my privilege to know Ronnie Johnson for most of my life. I know firsthand of his background, education, and experiences, which have all qualified him to write this book. Most of all, I know of his Christ-motivated love for family, friends, and for those who have yet to know the love of God. I also know of his love for Christ, and that Christ’s love for him is his example and his purpose in life. Leon Shelton Life-long friend Ogden, UT
Every day we encounter scores of people headed to an eternity without God. What will it take to wake us up to their desperate need for a Savior? While the earth's time clock ticks away, well-meaning Christians go to church, pay their tithes, and pray for foreign missionaries—going through the motions of Christian life as millions face an eternity without God. If heaven is indeed for real, and only those who have put their faith in Christ will be given entrance, shouldn't we be making the most of every opportunity to share the Gospel, the last great hope for all the world? Join pastor Ronnie Floyd as he challenges readers to face reality and begin a global movement to reach the lost. He says, "God is calling us to an awakening regarding his most urgent command found in Matthew 28:19 to go and make disciples of all nations. This Great Commission is the compelling charge given to us with divine authority by our Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ." Our Last Great Hope will move us beyond casual and theoretical talk about the Great Commission and lead us into a Great Awakening. “This book could revolutionize the way we think. . . . Read it and be inspired, changed, and equipped.” —Bruce Wilkinson, best-selling author of The Prayer of Jabez “Floyd challenges us to engage the next generation . . . a must-read.” —Greg Surratt, lead pastor of Seacoast Church and author of IR-REV-REND “This book inspires me to do extraordinary things through my most ordinary life.

World Snooker Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan's frank and honest account of his astonishingly dramatic life. I used to rely on drugs and alcohol to keep me going, but now I've got the healthiest addiction going - running. This book explains how running has helped me to fight my demons - my addictive personality, depression, my dad's murder conviction, the painful break-up with the mother of my children - and allowed me to win five World Snooker Championships. It is also about all of the great things in my life - my kids, snooker, my dad's release from prison, great mates who have helped me, and the psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters, who has taught me how not to run away when things get tough. Finally, it's about what it's like to get the buzz - from running, from snooker, from life. Because when it comes down to it, everyone needs something to drive them on.
We can know that if we pray, some outcomes will be different than if we do not pray because God made many promises conditioned on whether we ask. These promises relate to a galaxy of concerns and needs that are important to us and God, such as faithfully serving God and experiencing his blessings in our life, health, marriage, children, family, and job. If we fail to pray about everything as the Scripture commands (Phil 4:6), we will enter heaven and learn there were many things God would have done in and through us if only we'd asked! Sadly, Calvinism's determinism has turned these wonderful promises into nothing more than a promise that God will do what he predetermined to do regardless of whether we pray or not. Do not allow Calvinism's deterministic beliefs and distortions of Scripture to rob you of this blessed intimate prayer relationship with God.

An elite pass rusher who was in the prime of his career, Charles Haley was traded from the San Francisco 49ers to an NFC rival, the Dallas Cowboys. Why would they make such a trade? The 49ers did so because Haley had become so difficult for teammates and coaches alike. It turns out that he acted this way because he had bipolar disorder. Haley, a Hall of Famer and the only NFL player who earned five Super Bowl rings, documents what it was like suffering from that condition and how he overcame it. He details what it was like to play for two championship organizations and the fights, transgression, and squabbles that marked his career.
“Do I have to tell you that Ronnie’s got one of the greatest female rock-and-roll voices of all time? She stands alone.” —Keith Richards Be My Baby is the behind-the-scenes story—newly updated, and with an especially timely message—of how the original bad girl of rock and roll, Ronnie Spector, survived marriage to a monster and carved out a space for herself amid the chaos of the 1960s music scene and beyond. Ronnie’s first collaboration with producer Phil Spector, “Be My Baby,” shot Ronnie and the Ronettes to stardom. No one sounded like Ronnie, with her alluring blend of innocence and knowing, but her voice would soon be silenced as Spector sequestered her behind electric gates, guard dogs, and barbed wire. It took everything Ronnie had to escape her prisonlike marriage and wrest back control of her life, her music, and her legacy. And as shown in this edition, which includes a 2021 postscript from Ronnie, her life became proof that our challenges do not define us and there is always the potential to forge a fuller life. In Be My Baby, the incomparable Ronnie Spector offered a whirlwind account of the ever-shifting path of an iconic artist. And, more than anything else, she gave us an inspiring tale of triumph.
