In a post-9/11 world, Christian. Muslim. Friend. lays out a path
toward authentic friendship between Christians and Muslims. Most
similar books either teach Christians to evangelize Muslims or else
downplay their Christian commitments. The author, who has lived and
worked among and befriended Muslims for more than fifty years,
offers readers a third way: holding onto the Christ-centered
commitments of their faith while cultivating peaceful friendship
with Muslims.
"These encounters bring amazing changes to our life, resulting in more
faith, surrender, power, understanding, and fruit." – Randy Clark,
bestselling author of Power to Heal
“The subject of Heaven on earth is one of those strategic themes and
Candice Smithyman is one of those anointed chosen messengers.” – James

This is the key to supernaturally shifting atmospheres!
Many Christians assume that only a few gifted individuals can move in
the miraculous, but the Bible teaches that all believers have unlimited
access to the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
When you discover your identity in Jesus, cultivate a heavenly mindset,
and access the authority you have received in Jesus, you can
immediately release the power of Heaven into your everyday
circumstances. This is the key to changing atmospheres and
circumstances around you.
Candice Smithyman is a prophetic voice who has learned to move in the
supernatural by accessing an open Heaven. Now, she wants to mentor you
to do the same.
Releasing Heaven will…
• Encourage you to confidently enter the supernatural realm as a
citizen of Heaven.
• Empower you to release miracles by praying from a heavenly dimension.
• Impart principles for accessing your heavenly riches every day.
• Teach you how to release the vats of heaven for your need and the
needs of others.
Begin accessing the Heavenly realm to change your world today!
It started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became
an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When
Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at
age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and
hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months
she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the "Joy Factory"
(originally their garage) making JoyJars (R)-packages filled with
toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first
handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being
treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon
thousands of JoyJars (R) being distributed across the United States
and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have
received JoyJars (R), and they continue shipping each week to kids
in over 200 children's hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses.
Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message
lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon
of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer. Join the movement

This book is an illuminating guide on critical, sensitive and
salvation-based topics that will intrigue, educate, inspire and
above all promote the doctrine of salvation as the focal point of
the entire Bible. The book highlights the fact that humanity's
greatest need has never been the food that satiates his hunger, the
building that gives him shelter, the status that makes him relevant
or anything that caters to his physical needs, albeit it consists
of topics that discuss humanity's daily needs and how they can be
acquired in line with God's word. It adequately emphasises that the
salvation of souls constitutes the greatest need and should occupy
the top echelon of our priorities. The scripture says that faith
comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). But
what happens when the word is not correctly taught, or correctly
taught but not completely broken down and hence not properly
understood? This book breaks down biblical lessons in a manner that
will be easily understood by readers. Many have read the Bible and
taught from it wrongly because they missed the central theme of the
Bible which is the salvation of our souls but the words in this
book have been written to help the reader avoid reading the Bible
amiss and achieve this precious and priceless gift - salvation -
that will make existence in this world a meaningful one. The
lessons readers will learn are drawn from the context of the
scriptures, the express commands of God and from the lives and
experiences of several biblical characters. Readers are made to
examine some biblical characters' strengths and flaws, successes
and failures and extract valuable lessons that will guide them on
the journey through life. While people can scan through the Bible
and get a general understanding of the stories within these
chapters, this book will draw the readers' attention to vital
lessons they may not have noticed.
Soos die ganse Ou Testament afgestem was op die koms van die
beloofde Messias, so is die Nuwe Testament afgestem op sy reële
koms en die totstandkoming van die nuwe Israel. Die skrywer hou
daarvan om die kronologie, tydvak en kulturele atmosfeer rondom ’n
gebeurtenis of persoon te ondersoek en poog om die stof toeganklik
te maak, met herkenbare raakpunte van die lewe vandag. Die
daaglikse lewe en geografie in die wêreld van die Nuwe Testament
word nagevors. Die universeel menslike dilemma word weerspieël in
die tema van alle musiek en literatuur: Verloor, soek, vind. Die goue
draad van die verlossingsgeskiedenis bly behoue tot waar dit
aangegee word na die evangelieskrywers vir die krip in Betlehem en
daarna aan die apostels van Christus, tot by die boek Openbaring.

What is the purpose of Christian ministry? Is it about upholding
traditional standards? Is it about meeting organizational goals? Or
is it a mixture of meanings and roles? With numerous ways of
understanding ministry, getting a grasp on it can
be a difficult task.
Discovering Christian Ministry not only gives a concise yet
comprehensive definition of ministry but it also offers a
ministerial vision that encompasses the personal, interpersonal and
social spheres of your life.
For many of us, believing in Jesus feels like the first step on a
journey that can only get better and better with every step. Then
trials come and it can be hard to keep walking. When faced with
disappointment, disillusionment, doubt, and death, we may be
tempted to turn back. The road ahead seems too hard, too long, too
fraught with danger and difficulty. With great passion and deep
understanding of the struggles believers go through, Rashawn
Copeland encourages and inspires you to stay the course. In No
Turning Back he shares practical and productive ways you can
experience true and lasting growth based on the promises God makes
to those who follow him. He shows you how to apply the truths of
Scripture to be transformed by God's power, grow your identity in
Christ, renew your mind, free yourself from your past, and become
the person God has called you to be.
Finding your heart’s true home - This 365-day devotional carefully unpacks the meaning of each part of the Serenity Prayer and how to apply it to our lives.
We live helter-skelter lives; each day we are pulled here and there by circumstances, both good and bad. We feel as if we are living at the mercy of events beyond our control. We long for peace, for a safe, serene and secure place where we can be at rest. In response to this search for peace, beloved author and minister Trevor Hudson reminds readers of the Serenity Prayer—a simple prayer that most of us know by heart:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
This 365-day devotional carefully unpacks the meaning of each part of the prayer and how to apply it to our lives. As we let the Serenity Prayer show us how to live each day in friendship with our Lord and Creator, God’s gift of peace will grow and fill us to overflowing. “Seeking Serenity”—a practical suggestion at the end of each day’s devotion—will also help the reader put this prayer into practice, and begin to develop the clear life-focus that brings the peace our hearts long for.
Trevor Hudson is a Methodist minister, currently seconded to The Institute for Creative Conversations at the Northfield Methodist Church, South Africa. He exercises a ministry of teaching and lecturing around the country and internationally, and is the author of several books including The Serenity Prayer, Questions God Asks Us, Holy Spirit Here and Now, Friendship with God and Towards a Closer Walk with God.
