Confessions of a Coward is a book intended to give men the freedom to acknowledge their fears and failures as men and more specifically as husbands and fathers. Once they find the strength to do so, they can then discover the path to courageous manhood. This is not a how-to book written from an "e;expert"e; perspective. This book does not give the answers but attempts to point men to the answers found in the grace, mercy, and truth of God. This is truly a confession of sorts and hopefully a road map out of the abyss of the cowardly lifestyle far too many Christian men are living today.

Ministers counsel with members of the opposite sex every day. It is often an important function of their jobs. What could possibly go wrong with this type of relationship? Unfortunately, our adversary (1 Peter 5:8) can take a seemingly innocent situation and create havoc. Good people with good intentions can find themselves entangled in a sinful situation as they cross fences that should never be traversed. That tragedy could even happen to a minister. In this book, we will explore areas such as geographical, locational, sensorial, and emotional fences that ministers, and those with whom they counsel, would do well to respect. Is there hope for ministers who have crossed the line and subsequently have repented of their sins? Should a minister simply resign from ministry and pursue another type of vocation since he might feel that his "e;moral authority"e; is severely compromised? Our adversary would say without reservation, "e;Yes, by all means quit!"e; God, on the other hand, tells us to never give up! This God we serve is willing and happy to forgive. God not only can help a minister to continue as an effective servant of His but also can help him to grow even more and be a powerful and effective force in His kingdom. This book is helpful not only to ministers but also to all people who from day to day are in various types of men/women relationships. Our working conditions throughout the United States have changed drastically over the past few generations. More women are the workforce outside of the home. The Apostle Paul challenges Christian's to "e;walk circumspectly"e; (Ephesians5:15). This means to step carefully, to be sure that we are on solid spiritual ground with each step we take. I believe Fence Sense can be helpful to us in that endeavor.

Abby is the sixteen-year-old daughter of a pastor who ministers at a church in St. Louis.

Could a child or young adult in your life have an underlying medical condition that is being explained away as a psychiatric problem? This type of misdiagnosis has become surprisingly common. This is a heartfelt, informational, true story of a thirteen-year-old girl who had an unexplained weight loss and other bizarre symptoms that were deemed to be psychological before all avenues of a physical illness were explored. The names have all been changed in order to protect the identity of the involved persons. The eleven-day confinement at a psychiatric hospital, involuntary commitment trial, and testing for the actual physical illness and simple cure are all documented to explain why this young girl should not have to live with a lifelong label of mental illness. This story suggests decisions made in fear are often poor. Doctors should not be afraid to tell their patients that they do not know, and parents should not be afraid of questioning health-care professionals' decisions. The nearly fatal mistake was thwarted with the support of family, friends, open-minded, true professionals, and most of all, with divine intervention.

The book "e;Understanding Divine Visitations"e; was given by a divine revelation from God. It is a gift for better understanding to the believer in his walk and relationship with God.

But we ought to be better informed about the virtues that easily attract his presence and turn our situation around for good. Divine healing is available, miracles are real, divine help is close by. God has not changed in his acts and his ways. That's why it is very important to understand the missing link. Ignorance will always deprive you. But only true understanding will connect to that supernatural life with the Living God.

Have you ever wished the Easter Bunny would point your children toward Christ? Martus is a very ordinary rabbit who finds himself in an extraordinary situation when he accidentally becomes trapped in the tomb with Jesus. Martus, whose name means witness, experiences fear, sorrow, and regret. Hungry and afraid, he finally prays that God's will be done. Nothing could have prepared this tiny rabbit for the mighty rush of wind, supernatural fireworks, and awesome demonstration of the power of God's love. Martus becomes a witness to the greatest moment of our collective history. His fortune is not in that the Lord helped him escape by rolling the stone away . . . but in that he was made new. Martus's confession can model for children a simple prayer and admission of need. Martus and the cave is a story about grace: yours and mine. Our circumstances or "e;caves"e; look different, but our God is the same today and forever. Based on the resurrection story and the biblical truths, "e;Do not be afraid for I am with you,"e; and "e;Let everything that has breath praise the Lord,"e; Martus will point your children toward the true joy of Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Best friends forever. That is how Marcy Peterman and Anna Miller describe themselves. The 12-year-olds are inseparable and have created an imaginary Indian village in the wooded pasture that is their playground. Rice's Hill is where they dream and play and the Bone Tree, a jagged-edged hollow stump, is where they hide secret messages, trinkets, special rocks, and animal bones they find. It is a perfect childhood in the small town of Danford, Montana. When tragedy strikes, grief and despair cast a long shadow over the Miller and Peterman families but eventually hope triumphs as God reveals his plan - a plan that has some surprising twists and turns.

Journey to the Bone Tree abounds with hope and joy as life triumphs over death. It is filled with rollicking good humor over the antics of a pastor and his congregation and a comical dog named Midas, and joyful when an unexpected gift helps a young girl heal. It is heartwarming when a surprising turn of events changes grief to peace and sadness to bountiful joy. And, years later, it is emotionally touching when Marcy brings the families to Rice's Hill to tell them about two young girls named Anna and Marcy.

My son Max Gold Dwares passed away on February 18, 2004, from complications related to a bone marrow transplant that he had on July 27, 2001, to cure him of chronic myelogenous leukemia. This book is Max's story as told by him (and continued by me) and captured by photographs by myself and other family friends in black and white and a few color photos as Max began his chemotherapy until his untimely demise at the tender age of twenty. The book was in the initial stages by Max but stopped as Max grew sicker, leading to his death. Max asked me to continue his book shortly before he passed away as a tribute to everyone left behind, but more importantly, as a reminder that while disease can be brutal and take lives, a positive attitude and faith can take you forward. Faith comes in many shapes and flavors. It doesn't matter what race or religion one is. Max was born in the Jewish faith but believed we are all created equal in the eyes of God. Max, from an early age, always seemed somewhat special. What I mean was he had a unique ability to seem to get along with adults and understand how they felt. He always knew what words to say to offer comfort and understanding. This continued throughout his life. This book, while at times quite emotional and honest, hopefully will serve as a guide for families going through a disease and how one reacts and lives through the process. It's a story of hope and dreams, of faith and questioning, and of one's belief in the eternal God when death appears around the corner. It's also a story of dreams and trying to attain them. It's a story of how families rely and rally around each other when the times get rough. It's a story of how someone battling cancer still needs to carry on and live life to the best, and it's a story and testament to a young man who lived a short time but accomplished so much and has left a lasting legacy. It's a story of how one's belief in God during good times and bad will serve as a beacon to guide one's spirit forward during the journey of life and life beyond.

Christopher Robyn lives on a ranch in a small farming community in western Washington State. "e;I watch animals interact on a daily basis. This close proximity to farm life has inspired me to portray animals in an intimate way. A way, which only living amongst them can portray."e; His book I Think I'm a Cow was inspired by real events. His story is an adaptation of those events. The story goes something like this: The neighbor had purchased a male goat, a ram, which Christopher named Billy, or Billy Goat. Since Billy Goat could not see that he was any different than the other animals in the pasture, he naturally bonded with the animal that he identified with the most. In this case, it was a cow. Hence the title of his children's book I Think I'm a Cow.

I have compiled twenty years of my drawings that people have often told me they would love to color. I drew these sketches in waiting rooms, national parks, riding in cars, on pontoon boats, and in my own back yard. My Daughter and grandson are often subjects of my work, too. Each one has a special memory for me, and I thank God for giving me this compulsion to draw. Each line and stroke was a prayer

Are modern young woman coming out of college achieving all their potential, or are they struggling with fears, insecurities, unemployment, and many roles and responsibilities imposed by family and society? This book is a tool to encourage women to seek their true value throughout these junctions in their lives and to find their gifts. I urge them to begin this amazing journey called life with the end in mind. This book also talks to mothers and grandmothers about different career paths for women and what it takes for women to be successful so that they could aid and guide their young daughters and granddaughters through the different paths. The difference between a woman worth more than a ruby and a regular woman is the ability to endure and to learn through all the kneeling down moments of their life, the key lessons that will lift them up to all the upcoming leaning in moments. This book represents the heartbeat of those kneeling down and leaning in moments we face when trying to handle career and family. Most women are not prepared to deal with careers, family, and the glass ceilings that await them. If you are like me, you will fear many things, you will be misunderstood plenty of times, you will be ignored or put down, and you will be set aside, and often, there will be the urge to run away from it all, but I encourage you to endure it all with a life plan that takes you all the way to the finish line. I urge women to focus more on the character ladder and being grounded on their gifts, passions, skills, personality than on the corporate ladder we are often pressured to climb. I urge women to continue to find the truth, and I shared how I found the things that we all long for, such as joy, peace, gratitude, love, forgiveness, goodness and self-restraint through the most difficult kneeling down moments of my life, and all these have transformed me from a worm to a ruby.

All of the information that you will find in The Christian Handbook of Survival comes out of the pages of your Bible. It's all there in plain sight, but you have to seek it out diligently, by asking God to reveal to you understanding of the letter or road map to success in the Kingdom of God. God wants to approve you, but you must study like you're studying for an exam or test in school. If you don't do your homework and test time comes, you will most likely fail. God is much more forgiving and kind than most professors would be in this case, but God wants you to know who you are, he already knows, he just simply wants you to know who you are. So this book was written to encourage you in your quest for eternal knowledge and to inspire you to pursue God with much passion, as you would if you wanted a husband or wife to live the rest of your lives with. It is with this same passion and desire for the Word of Truth that God delights in when he sees you studying to show yourself approved, a workman unto God, not being ashamed by rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

The threat of apocalypse is meat for the postmodern world. The possibility that it will happen is a hook for book buyers and moviegoers throughout the Western world. But what is it that happens in "e;the apocalypse?"e; The Rev. Albert Krueger challenges the standard view of apocalypse in From the Fords of the Jordan to the Plain of Shinar by seeing the Bible through a different frame of reference, the notion that apocalypse is the leaven, which gives rise to the canon of the Old Testament and the conclusive testimony of the New. He brings the fruit of a lifetime of preaching the Gospel, studying the scriptures, and the practicing the art of philosophical reflection to this radical new approach. Giving credence to both the valid discoveries of modern research and the consistency of the biblical message as a whole, Krueger demonstrates that apocalypse is an idea and an experience as well as an expectation. It is the governing principle of a way of life. Krueger's style of writing is part anecdote, part historical narrative, and part Bible study. During his journey from Ezekiel to Paul, he encourages the reader to ask new and biblically informed questions regarding contemporary Christian assumptions, expectations, and hopes in the world today. These questions emerge through a reformatting of the text, which reveals a fourfold overlay of biblical worlds rather than the standard linear progression from the moment of creation to the advent of doom. While From the Fords of the Jordan to the Plain of Shinar is a stand-alone work, a follow-up work is in the hopper. In this sequel, Krueger intends to consider the apocalyptic idea to be the hidden organizing principle of Western civilization. Just as the question of what "e;happens"e; in apocalypse needs to be addressed, so does the question of what "e;ends"e; when a world ends.

Answer this question honestly: Are you as vigilant about the condition of your soul as you are about the condition of your body, your house, your bank account or a myriad of other earthly concerns? This little book takes a look at that through a combination of verses and biblical references. Through poetry, it takes a look at where we hope our lives will lead us as well as looking at our sins and our foibles. There are specific biblical references to specific actions or conditions as stated through the poetry. This book is not meant to be read as quickly as possible, but each section should be reflected upon. It will lead the reader to delve more deeply into the Bible as the various verses apply to him or her. It is hoped that this is presented in an interesting and enjoyable way. Perhaps it should be read by the fire or in bed before sleep when we are generally in a more reflective mood. I invite you and your soul to take a journey through poetry and scripture. Learn if you will be vigilant when the Lord comes to call.

The Angel was written as a fairytale, but contains elements of truth, in the way God may possibly use angels in people's daily lives. This idea comes directly from scripture as written throughout the Bible, in which angels appeared to people, prophets, and animals. In this tale, the angel and animals are able to speak to one another and conversations flow freely. The book traces the activities of Dionysius, an angel, as he orchestrates the lives of those God entrusts to him. The story begins by explaining who Dionysius is and commences with the peculiar way in which he meets the main characters. His somewhat humorous encounter with Hercules, the large shire-horse, and Phinehas, the mastiff dog, takes place on a farm belonging to old Ma Bond. After questioning the animals, Dionysius finds the old lady and her granddaughter, little Rosie, are living in very dire circumstances. The angel, seeing the predicament, takes charge. After receiving instructions from God, he begins to arrange events to benefit Rosie, who is soon unfortunately orphaned by her grandmother's demise, her parents being deceased. The story details the incidents after her grandmother's death, introducing two more very important characters, a husband and wife, Sam and Beverly Harris, who have been praying for a child. As the tale progresses, more characters enter who help the little girl. Having no family alive and nowhere to call home, Rosie is forced to stay at the local orphanage, where she makes friends. During this time, a terrible fire disrupts life at the orphanage. Will Rosie find a new home, and will Sam and Beverly get the child they have been praying for, or will the difficulties be too great?Throughout the book, horses, dogs, and cats play an important role alongside the people, and the mastiff, Phinehas, remains Rosie's faithful companion and guardian. The angel, Dionysius, plays a vital role in everyone's lives, weaving in and out of the story at intervals, following God's instructions. The book concentrates on love, healing and forgiveness, repentance, and the salvation message, as explained in the Bible in the gospel of John, Chapter 3, where Jesus explains "e;....unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."e;
