Have you ever craved for a deep personal relationship with God? Do
you question your faith in the Divine Spirit to work in your daily
life? This book takes you on a remarkable modern day journey of
faith with a couple in their quest for a deeper relationship with
God. Brenda and Franklin CampbellJones share how their spirit was
strengthened by following God's guidance on a journey across the
country. Through dreams, signs, messages, and "coincidences," they
come to terms with the forces of doubt, anxiety, and confusion.
They learn to lean on the Divine Presence of the Holy Spirit.
Through prayer we victoriously make our way through challenges,
conflicts, changes, temptations, tribulations, testing, trials,
pressures, pains, persecutions, and the problems we encounter
daily. We are also able to enjoy the benefit of prayer during
seasons of encouragement, renewal and revival in our own lives.
Prayer should always be the first and last order of business on the
agenda for the Christian, because it keeps us connected with God.
Prayer is the key to an effective walk with God, a thriving
ministry, an ordered life, strong family ties, and a positive
Christian influence within the communities where we are being
called to shape, serve, and share. Prayer does not change God's
mind, but it does invite God into the situation. When God shows up,
things change, situations change, and people change. That's the
benefit of Praying on Purpose Eric Leake is a native of Mount

than 16 years. He is married to Jean McMurray Leake. They have one

Life is all about being successful and happy. Many of us have
everything and yet find the real happiness missing. We are
constantly in pursuit of that joy which has eluded us forever, thus
far. When we realize our true nature and origin, it enables our
progression towards attaining a happy and fearless state in life.
Each one of us is a divine Soul; unborn, unchanging, immutable and
eternal; an inseparable potency of that Supreme God, who dwells in
us eternally. Though each one of us has the potential to experience
a divine existence, being immortals, we have chosen to take birth
in this mortal world; taking birth to die and dying to take birth
again, in some 8.4 million bodies. There is a mismatch in what is
happening to us. We are immortals, but the bodies we acquire in
this world are not. We can attain the divine, eternal world of God,
if we realize our imperishable relationship with God, who alone can
grant us the state we all seek. With that realization, we can
transcend causes and effects of this karmic world, overcoming grief
and pain. We not only achieve material success, but also live a
useful life, for the self, for our families and for the society.
Grieving Hearts in Worship offers an in-depth opportunity to answer
challenging questions concerning a growing disconnect between how
we grieve and how we worship God. Through the use of stories,
poetry, creative worship services and thought-provoking
discussions, Landon shares his unique understanding of the nature
of our need for rituals in worship as a beneficial part of our
journey towards healing. By exploring major thoughts and writings
on grief, he identifies common threads, weaving together a living
tapestry that expresses the depth of personal and communal
experiences of grief. Reading this contemplative approach to
discussing grief and its place in worship will open your eyes to a
new way of seeing God's love for the grieving. The book's practical
suggestions offer church leaders and members a blend of topics,
worship services, and reflection questions that include: Attitudes
About Death and Grief Annual Remembrance Services Finding Hope in
Brokenness Anger and Vulnerability in Worship Rediscovering Joy
Walking the Labyrinth When A Church Dies

scriptural foundation, the author uses vibrant imagery, humor, and

the future promise of Heaven, but to take steps to experience
heaven on Earth--life as it was mean to be. What No Eye Has Seen is
an invitation to experience the assurance of a blessed eternity,
the gift of our Gracious God.
Joao de Deus Brasil's book comprises two independent but related
works: Why I Believe in God and Atheism: a Self-Delusion. In Why I
Believe in God, the author reveals the origins of his faith whereas
in Atheism: a Self-Delusion he refutes atheists' arguments
expressed by their current world leader, Richard Dawkins, in his
best-seller God, a Delusion. Regarding the renowned biologist's
ideas, Joao de Deus states: In his book, Richard Dawkins does not
provide any theory capable of scientifically justifying his
negation of God's existence. And besides, he does not put forward
any evidence whatsoever, either scientific or empirical, in support
of that nonexistence. Between the lines of his own words, one can
clearly see his subconscious knowledge about the life of the
spirit, anterior and posterior to material life. By analyzing his
quotations of other wise, monistic men, without even excluding the
magnificent Albert Einstein, one can clearly perceive that they
themselves have this subconscious knowledge, and they reveal it as
they express their thoughts. Materialism is, therefore, a delusion.
The true monist does not exist, for all of us have subconscious
knowledge of our spiritual existence before, during, and after our
material lives. We express ourselves according to this knowledge,
whoever we are: believers or skeptics, intellectuals, scientists,
or illiterate peasants. In the same way, we are also aware of the
existence of God, and that's why faith is revealed in children. For
the same reason, among many others as we have seen, faith is
revealed in all peoples and cultures, with no exception. These
realities, perfectly clear for those who want to see, provide
irrefutable, absolute proof that atheism, like materialism and
monism, is a self-delusion.
The words of Jesus have fascinated men and women of all ages in
virtually every country in the world. For millions of people
his teachings are the basis of relationships within and between
families and with neighbors. They are the daily ground rules
for every day conduct in countless households and societies.

This work consists of displaying some of the Essays I wrote during
my studies in Theology. It is really intended to help some students
to debate my points of view and appreciate my sense of criticism
The King has come. The God of love planned reconciliation and
transformation for the people he created. He planned liberation
from bondage for all creation through the life, death, and
resurrected life of his Son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus the King has come. He has inaugurated the kingdom. The
Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5-7) is the constitution of that
kingdom. The constitution is intended to make Christlike disciples.
The central dynamic of the constitution is godlike love and is
based on his grace.
The Sermon begins with the essence of character, which is the
foundation of all relationships and conduct. Who we are determines
the influence we have and controls our conduct. Our conduct is
based on right relationships with God, others, self, and the
material world.
The Sermon is practical, dealing with every aspect of life. Our
relationship with God is to be one of reverence and
self-discipline. Our relationship to possessions calls for
rejection of slavery to those possessions and to worry. In
relationship to self, we must avoid destructive criticism and
exercise discernment. Many areas are discussed in our relationship
to others, such as murder, sex, retaliation, and more.
Join me in the study of the kingdom constitution as it reveals
how to live life in the image of God. All who will may become a
part of the kingdom by offering full allegiance to the King and by
living life by the rule of godlike love.
