With The Wilton Translation of the New Testament, Clyde Wilton has
sought to provide an accurate translation of the New Testament from
Greek into English. It is the result of many years of study, and
although this work has as its text the Greek New Testament (United
Bibles Societies, third ed.), Clyde has drawn from a wide variety
of sources to make his translation as accurate as possible to
original text.
Becoming a Christian at a young age is common in many sects of
Christianity. Andrea Hovet lived a destructive life under the
assumption she was a Christian. Through abuse, hardships, and
self-hatred, she blamed her misfortunes on God. She strayed form
His path and became lost in the abyss of her sorrow.
This story is based on the journal kept during the year she
learned how deeply God loves her. This is her story. It portrays
the grief as well as the joy and love she discovered when she
finally laid her doubt and self-hatred before the Lord. She went
from being a nonbeliever living in sin to committing herself to
God's holy name. The changes she went through and the changes in
her perspective on life are just a few of the different ways God
healed her brokenness.
"Facing the Waterfall" is the metaphor God gave her in order to
help her visualize the love He is pouring over her each and every
day. All she need do is lift her face and allow Him to fill every
crevice of her heart and soul with His unwavering love.
Like so many bright and beautiful baby boys, Tom Anderson was a
child of great promise. Being sexually violated at a young age by
an older man who presented himself as a father figure, Tom's life
was dramatically changed. With divine grace, God reached into Tom's
drugged and lonely life during his late teen years, and led him
down a path that touched thousands of lives with the compassion and
humility of Jesus Christ. As an outstanding medical doctor, Tom
ministered to the sick, the elderly, and the mentally ill. In spite
of his successful practice, he was haunted every day of his life by
the physical, emotional, and psychological damage perpetrated
against him as a child. Yet, it is not for these struggles that we
remember him; but, for "His love for his family, his humble service
and hospitality to his fellow man, and his commitment to God." In
the end, Jesus won.
Japonica F. Edmonds Smith is a seasoned writer of poetry, prose,
and inspirational short stories. In God's now latter blessings rain
I shall continue to seek the Father in order to give His people
divine revelation in their thoughts as well as in their walk within
their lives. It is the Father Jehovah that inspires us spiritually
to draw the reader inward, in order to have an intimate walk within
our heart to walk with Him. It is without question that it is God
who awakens one's heart to seek His son, Jesus. It is He that wants
His plan and purpose to be fulfilled in our lives and to show us
that in the midst of life trials, there is still a word from the
Father. God has always been concerned about you, the saints of God
in Christ Jesus. He loves you with an everlasting love. He showed
humanity His agape love, when He thought it not robbery to give His
Son, Jesus, to take our place, by being on the cross. That was
designed for the sins of humanity ... each and every one of us
individually Thank God for His Son We have been redeemed by His
blood IT IS FINISHED His immeasurable love raised Jesus from the
dead. Hallelujah For He sent forth His Son that we might have life
and life that more abundantly, so that we will have true intimacy,
fellowship, communion, and relationship with Jesus. After all is
said and done, after we have repented, we shall have true
forgiveness from our sins, thereby receiving healing, growth, and
restoration for ourselves as we restore love to one another with
forgiveness With the sword of the spirit in my mouth, I decree as
well as command, that I am a victorious woman of God, without any
constraints to do the will of the Father Jehovah in Jesus' name.
Amen It is God's will for all the saints of God to seek and to save
those who are lost-to teach the found to go after the lost, so that
all shall be saved and none perish.
Unleash Your Potential: Put Any Foot Forward presents a clarion
call for us to awaken the gifts within us. Everyone has a gift, and
the truth is that if we don't use them, they will be taken away,
and we lose the joy of fulfilling God's purpose in our lives. We
must learn how to unleash our potential, to put any foot forward
through motivation and encouragement. We have been crippled for so
long by our circumstances, our fears, our past failures, and
mistakes, but now, author Dr. Darlington I. I. Ndubuike encourages
us to heed the command of the Lord to move ahead When God provides
us with opportunities, we have to take that first STEP: Seize the
opportunity. Take action by faith. Encourage ourselves in the Lord.
Prayerfully follow God's lead. We cannot be intimidated by our
circumstances. We must hold our heads up and keep our shoulders
high. We must position ourselves to unleash our potential without
losing focus, with the understanding that nothing good comes easy.
It takes time and effort, but your dream is attainable."
Difficult situations occur every day, all over the world. They can
occur in our homes, on our jobs, and even in our churches. As
Christians, we must face these challenges and understand their
roots in the spiritual world. We must also answer the call to
witness Christ in everyone, especially those who cause us
difficulty and distress. In "More than Conquerors II: They That Are
with Us: A Believer's Guide to Overcoming Opposition and Ethical
Dilemmas, " minister and author Thomas Randolph Wood Jr. shows
through real-world examples how true victory over situations,
circumstances, and difficult persons is available through Jesus
Christ.The helpful, encouraging lessons of "They That Are with Us"
offer answers to the hard and sometimes overwhelming challenges we
encounter in our lives today. Perhaps we struggle with money, with
relationships, with the future, or with faith; by sharing our
stories and sharing the word of God, we can learn to honestly
support each other in our walks both inside and outside the
physical structures of our church buildings. Through this testimony
and witness, we experience the true will of God for our
congregations, for ourselves, and for our world.
God has been revealing to me that writing is an effective way for
me to share my heart with Him; I feel encouraged to use it as a way
to share his love and my faith in him with you. I have spent the
majority of my life searching desperately for the missing piece to
complete my life puzzle. The discovery of my life has been
made....Jesus. From the bottom of my heart to the top of the
highest mountain, I would like to proclaim to everyone who is
alive, ?God loves you God wants to be close to you You are created
for HIM He his waiting with open arms and unending love for you God
forgives you We can approach God with confidence in our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. The idea of this book grew from a seed planted
in my heart on November 9, 2012. While reading II Kings, God
revealed to me an important role in my Christian life. God tells of
King Hezekiah, who was aware of God's presence in past events, had
a personal relationship with God via a powerful prayer life, and
trusted in God's help for current events in his life. One thing he
lacked was his concern for future generations. God convicted my
heart that I was lacking this as well. Not sure what to do, I
prayed that God would show me. A book. Since I will not be around
forever to share my faith with future generations, I can share my
faith through a book. This is the first and possibly the only book
I will write; I will leave that up to God. This is a collection of
prayers and writings regarding some truths God has revealed to me.
An invitation to you...to draw near, speak to God about what is on
your heart, then be still, and know that He is God. This is the
sacrifice God wants from us. He wants us to share our heart with
him and trust him and his word to guide our lives. Talk to God
about anything you would a family member, best friend, co-worker,
etc. God wants us to come to Him first.

This title offers an insight into key contemporary global issues
relating to the lives and experiences of young Muslims. Many Muslim
societies, regardless of location, are displaying a 'youth bulge',
where more than half their populations are under the age of 25. An
increasingly globalized western culture is rapidly eroding
'traditional' ideas about society, from the family to the state. At
the same time, there is a view that rampant materialism is creating
a culture of spiritual emptiness in which demoralization and
pessimism easily find root. For young Muslims these challenges may
be compounded by a growing sense of alienation as they face
competing ideologies and divergent lifestyles. Muslim youth are
often idealized as the 'future of Islam' or stigmatized as
rebelling against their parental values and suffering 'identity
crises'. These experiences can produce both positive and negative
reactions, from intellectual engagement and increasing spiritual
maturity to emotional rejectionism, narrow identity politics and
violent extremism. This book addresses many of the central issues
currently facing young Muslims in both localized and globalized
contexts through engaging with the work of academics, youth work
practitioners and those working in non-governmental organizations
and civic institutions.
Poems, prn (Latin: pro re nata) is a compilation of recent poems by
Larry Troxel. He separated them into two groupings; the first
consisting of poems that are more about the lighter and serious
sides of life, and the sweet feelings and inspiration that evolve
there from. From those selections his associate James Atkinson, an
accomplished musician and composer, has created and recorded
beautiful songs on a CD Music and Poetry From the Heart, with poems
such as My Soul, The Flowers Say, Touchings, and Waves. The second
group is poems that paint, in the brightest colors, his
religiosity, principals of faith, devotion and church. It is his
hope that some may find what he has written to be interesting,
agreeable, and maybe even inspiring, prn.
