Ever wondered what life is really about or why you were even born? Well . . .

How do you measure your faith? Is it by your standards, the world's standards, or by God's standards? God has written His words to us in Scripture that we can know His thoughts and know His ways and thus live by His standards alone.

All too often, mankind makes God after their own image and concludes that He thinks and acts just as they do. But it is not a sign of wisdom to try to second-guess God

What is the true meaning of faith? Learn how to improve your relationship with God. Wake up to a vibrant Christian life that reveals how close and real God truly is. Invite God to come into your life and to be a true blessing that carries you through the best and worst of times.

God's love for us is as close as our consent to love Him in return. Allow Him to be an intrinsic part of who you are. Allow this miracle to come true in your life.

What's your dream? Do you believe that God will answer your prayers so that you can fulfill that dream? Do you really believe that He is faithful? Unrealized dreams can cause deep pain that lasts for years. What takes away that pain? The journey through life is a learning process that each human must endure. I say endure because the learning is not always comfortable. You are not alone in anything you do. The lessons learned and talked about in this book can help anyone who is dealing with trouble, pain, human interaction, or faith. By reading this book, the author hopes you will learn a little about music, a little more about life, and a lot about the love of God.

***SILVER AWARD WINNER, 2019 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS!*** The Children's Fire forges a trail into Britain's wild and ancient Celtic past. It locates the fragments of a story that still has resonance today; the pulse and surge of an older wisdom that cracks the mendacity of the shopping mall's vacuous promise. It is a passionate evocation of a generous, inclusive, diverse and spiritually significant world - the world of our longing. In the winter of 2009 Mac Macartney walked from his birthplace in England across Wales to the island of Anglesey, once the spiritual epicentre of Late Iron Age Britain, navigating by the sun and the stars, with no map, compass, stove or tent, and in the coldest winter for many years. The Children's Fire records that journey, and seeks to lay bare the aching loss of knowing and understanding sacredness as it applies to everything ordinary that brings joy to the human heart. It asserts the emergence of a new story; the story of a people coming home to a truth made all the more poignant having so painfully broken faith with nature, our deeper humanity, and the paradise we fouled with such casual disrespect. It is a love story and part of a larger narrative that is surfacing all around the world. It seeks to reclaim our future and name it, beautiful.

As a young girl growing up in southeast Georgia, she couldn't wait to graduate high school, if not for anything but, to no longer have to go to church. Monica was eager to experience a world that she had only heard of but, was forbidden to take part in because of her mother's Christian values. She became tired of hearing all the fun that the other girls had over the weekend while all she did was attend school and church. Her desire to go to a football game, a club or maybe on a date, grew tremendously and all she dreamed about was getting out of her parents house.
She finds herself in the hands of a repeated rapist and murderer and now it's no longer her mother's faith but, her faith that will be put to the test.

Sex As . . . addresses a topic as old as life itself and awaits completion by an expert. That would be you. You are the only person-living, dead, or yet to be born-who has experienced sex in the ways that you have thought about, have experienced, or are considering doing. Sex As . . . invites you to create a written and/or pictorial journal of your sexual life, to be shared with others or not. You are prompted to respond to phrases such as: Sex as . . . love, Sex as . . . fear, Sex as . . . healing. Jeff DeVore does not attempt to provide answers or advice. The book is not research, not a how-to book, not a psychological/philosophical/theological volume on sex. Those excellent works can be found in libraries and bookstores. The themed pages invite you to tell your truth about this complex reality. As you do so, you may uncover new knowledge and freedom, release and forgiveness, joy and peace.
