This study of the character of three aspects of God is presented to assist the lay church person to understand and to be awed at the manner in which God deals with His creation. The book is also written to aid an unbeliever in understanding God's purpose for his life. The three aspects are the sovereignty of God, the mystery and beauty of His character; the grace of God, His modus operandi in dealing with His world; and the glory of God, His magnificence and ultimate purpose for His creation. Although sounding very technical, this book is for the scholarly as well as the everyday believer who desires to study the Word of God in depth.If we can comprehend the depth of meaning behind the fact that God is in control- his sovereignty, that he deals with us in constant grace, and sets before us a great and eternal destiny-glory, we'll be able to persevere and thrive joyfully, no matter what happens to us. Bob Lenz understands and communicates this. You'll be blessed and helped by reading the book.Dr. Mike Pocock Dallas Theological Seminary

My name is Felicia Elizabeth Medlock. I am the author of this book {Use your mind or lose your mind}. She is clothed with strength and dignity: she canlaugh at the days to come. (Proverbs 31:25. My book is based on the trail and tribulations from the age of three years old into an adult. I briefly describesituations from what I can remember as an adolescent to high school as I graduated high school. And, as I survive the struggles and the good days of my life the good days came into my life, when I believed in Jesus Christ, I kept the faith that all things are able. May God that gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had. (Romans 15:5). All you need is the size of a mustard seed so that you will succeed and have all you wish for. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up just in fact you are doing. (Thessalonians 5:11). Overall, material things in life doesn't matter because without the love of Jesus Christ you will have nothing because the bible says Jesus is love and Jesus died for us on the cross and promised us that if we believe in him, we will not perish. At times when I had no way out, I prayed, and I ask God for guidance as you scroll through my book know he is the way the truth and the life. Remember we all have choices your choice can be to do right, and your choice can be to do wrong, and the wrong way is never the correct choice, so I hope this book does you well and will stay in your thoughts when you decide to do something you know will lead you down the wrong path. Know that God s way is the best way I am a living witness.

Spring in coastal Normandy along the French beaches was a magical time unless it was 1944. There were no gleeful noises of vacationers along the Normandy beaches that spring. Hitler had invaded France several years earlier and the French people were then under the tyrannical influence of German troops, who had taken up residence in the nearby towns and villages around Normandy, building gun turrets and fortifications to bolster the coastal region defenses facing the English Channel. Magic times appeared gone forever.French citizens spoke in hushed tones lest a German sympathizer hear or mistake a comment that could lead to arrest. One never knew who was listening or who was a spy for the feared Germans.

All people are plagued with pain, but most are only aware of their own. To be exposed to others' tragedy is but the first step toward understanding our part in their suffering, which many have chosen to express through art; and in this case, through poetry. There are ugly truths that sometimes can only be spoken through silence, but it is in this silence that most remain trapped forever. And thus, this book was written to voice--or at least attempt to voice--the torture and torment of those who can't speak up and those who will never be able to do so anymore. Everyone is traumatophobic, afraid and terrified of being injured in any way, but everyone is also traumatized. And it is through facing this fear that it can be overcome. It is through facing what causes others pain that healing can be found and given to those who so desperately need it. Though sensitive subjects, such as depression, abuse, addiction, self-harm, and disorder, might be more openly acknowledged today, the perspective from which they are suffered is often muted or diluted. Within this collection of poetry and prose, however, this point of view is brought to light along its naturally unbearable details, the sorrow and despair of those condemned to survive through it one night at a time.

Proceeds of the sales from this collection will go to, 'The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention'. 'Flowers Aren't Always Beautiful' is a collection of 30 poems depicting the author's personal life experiences, mostly throughout early childhood and being a young adult. These experiences are primarily associated with topics of suicide and depression, though the collection has an undertone of persevering and overcoming these circumstances. This is a fantastic collection if you have ever felt like you don't have a place in the world, your family, and even in your own body. I recommend 'Flowers Aren't Always Beautiful' to everyone I meet who is going through a tough time. It is a collection that creates a sense of harmony from traumas and pains.
