The greatest need of professing Christians today is a better, deeper, and fuller knowledge of Christ. The Christian life can be described as getting to know God better every day. Every Christian should regularly?daily?read the Word of God. We should find time for quiet time or personal devotion. For over 20 years I have been using commentaries in my devotions. The blessings derived from the commentaries is overwhelming. I am writing this commentary to share some of those blessings and lessons I have learned over the years.

Containing thirty-five poems in chronological order of creation, it will encourage readers spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. With Bible verses and concordance from three different versions: the New Living Translation (NLT), New International Version (NIV), and King James Version (KJV), Words on High also does what few other poetry books do, providing the inspired moments leading up to the works that are read. It is a journey through the eyes of the author, whose goal is to allow readers to be inspired, informed, and entertained by the emotion brought out in each and every poem.

Mr. Thomas Andrew Dorsey's telephone number was given to the writer of this newly released book by the name, Thomas A. Dorsey, Father of Black Gospel Music An Interview, by a directory assistance operator in Chicago, Illinois. The writer, at the time, (1975) took a chance and called, not expecting the first publisher of Black Gospel Music, to answer the phone. A very hoarse voice said "Hello," and the writer recognized it immediately as being the voice he had heard on a recording about Gospel Music that Mr. Dorsey had done. After being asked if he would consent to being interviewed Mr. Dorsey unenthusiastically said yes. He was unenthusiastic the writer later discovered, because fortune hunters and status seekers had been plaguing him for interviews. Honored that Mr. Dorsey had said yes, the writer took a train from Kansas City, Missouri to Chicago, to interview this man who had written hundreds of songs.

In spite of its apparent simplicity, "being with" is a phrase with deeply profound significance. Having someone who cares enough to "be with" us, personally and authentically, is arguably the deepest of all human needs. In times of crisis and loss, the reality of this need is apparent and inescapable; and yet, "being with" relationships turn out to be equally as important in our day-by-day activities. Modern-day medicine and psychology have made it incontestably clear that authentic personal relationships are central and irreplaceable in the nurturing of human health and healing. Amazingly, it turns out that the pledge to "be with" us is the most consistent promise of the God revealed in both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. In other words, what we human beings need most is precisely what the God of the Bible promises to give to us--and what he calls us to share with each other With so much significance loaded inside this one little phase, it follows that much of our hope to be whole and fulfilled human beings, living in a healthy and productive world, rests on a conscious commitment to nurture "being with" relationships, personally and within the various levels of human society. This book explores the foundations, implications, benefits, and procedures for becoming "being with" people living in "being with" relationships.

God has blessed my life with so many miracles it is hard to recall them all.

It is my hope that as you read this book you can relate to similar situations in your past and begin to see God at work in your life.

Who knows maybe you will begin to see and understand the miracles that He has done both large and small every day of your life.

She is determined to do everything she can to help her children become productive citizens. In the process, she will face many dangers. She is constantly breaking up fights and is actually dragged during one episode. She is always running to their rescue-sometimes literally running. But she is strong and demands her respect.

Regardless of their age, your children are always your children. The way they live their lives will always affect you. That's called love.

This is an inspiring story about the life of Kristin Michelle Beaucher, how she touched thousands of lives, all of the pain and suffering she overcame, and how her faith in God only grew stronger. Losing her battle with cancer at the early age of nine never changed the person she was or made her lose sight of what she wanted to accomplish. Kristin was diagnosed with medduloblastoma (brain cancer) at the young age of two and a half. She dealt with more pain and suffering than many adults will endure in their entire life. Kristin overcame every obstacle in her path and every problem that came her way with a smile on her face and love pouring from her heart. Kristin was truly an angel, a gift from God himself, who changed the lives of everyone she met, sometimes without even saying a word. She gave when she had nothing left to give, and her legacy lives on through each and every one of us who had the honor of knowing her. "I have cancer so that I can be the one to prove to everybody that God can create miracles." This is my daughter, and she gave her life to save mine. I promised Kristin that I would live every day as she did, to do my very best, and to make her as proud of me as I was of her. I know I will never be able to even come close, but Kristin never gave up. How in the world could I? Sweetie, you will always be my baby, my angel, and my hero
