The book, The Work of the Ministry, highlights issues on ministry, the work of the ministry, and work in God's perspective and the spirit who is now at work in us. He, Himself, gave gifts and talents to men and women for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ (Eph. 4:11-12). In God, all things work, and work for the good of mankind. We do His work by the grace he has given us. God blesses us all in different ways. Let Him work through you and let Him work in you so that you will be a blessing to your nation and your generation. The love of God gives us a pure and creative heart full of mercy and wisdom. And understanding of His word, spiritual discernment and wisdom are His blessings granted to you through obedience and faith.

"People say our marriage is impossible." Laurie and Matt Krieg are in a mixed-orientation marriage: a marriage in which at least one partner's primary attraction isn't toward the gender of their spouse. In the Kriegs' case, Laurie is primarily attracted to women-and so is Matt. Some find the idea of mixed-orientation marriage bewildering or even offensive. But as the Kriegs have learned, nothing is impossible with God-and that's as true of their marriage as anyone else's. In An Impossible Marriage, the Kriegs tell their story: how they met and got married, the challenges and breakthroughs of their journey, and what they've learned about marriage along the way. Christianity teaches us that marriage is a picture of Jesus' love for the church-and that's just as true in a mixed-orientation marriage as in a straight one. With vulnerability and wisdom, this book lays out an engaging picture of marriage in all its pain and beauty. It's a picture that points us, over and over again, to the love and grace of Jesus-as marriage was always meant to do.

I know many people do not even read scriptural references in most books. I encourage you to read and ponder over all the references including those from the Quran. HOW MANY WAYS TO HEAVEN? Is it 1, 2, 3 or even more ways? This is a matter of life and death. Is God a source of confusion and deception? Will God contradict Himself by changing His words through different Messengers? Jesus clearly said that, 'I am the Way. The Truth and the Life.' Jesus never said He was one of the ways. Question is, are there enough scientific, investigative, prophetic or spiritual evidences to prove the deity or uniqueness of Jesus? What did Mohammed or Quran (Islam) say? How about Gandhi and Buddha? This book further throws light on certain issues in Christianity such as sin, premarital sex, and homosexuality? Is there a gay gene? What is true prosperity? I think that if only material blessings were the critical proof of true prosperity then I think a lot of unbelievers are more loved and more blessed by God. Does Christian dressing matter today? You will discover the hidden message of Laminin.

When Oceans Roar tells the remarkable stories of people who heard the still small voice of God, and saw God do amazing things when they took God at his word and surrendered themselves to him. The stories told in this book represent roads that few people would have chosen. Yet having said 'yes' to God, and taken the first step, each one was strengthened, empowered and equipped for the journey ahead. It includes the story of a couple who prayed over their child who had no heart beat for three days in the sure knowledge that God would meet them at their point of need, and of a Bangladeshi freedom fighter taken before a firing squad only to learn that God had a plan for his life. This is a book that will challenge you to find your true identity, and having done so to step out of complacency and take risks in the sure knowledge that God will never leave you or forsake you as you surrender yourself to him. Be inspired to listen out for the still small voice of God above the ocean's roar.

Tammy Henson has been in the fire of trials battling for freedom from her past and her generational line.

She has been learning about certain spirit types and how to defeat them. The pain inside connected to the flesh has left bruises but Tammy Henson is overcoming the powers of darkness that has had in in bondage since she was a very young child.

Shawny was born to very young parents. When they decided to go their separate ways. Her mom finds a man who she thought was the man of her dreams. What he was keeping on the inside was later revealed when her prince charming exposed himself with his true identity. What she didn't know is he had a sickness that medication couldn't get rid of, surgery couldn't remove, or a fortune teller couldn't predict. She was faced with one of the hardest decisions a mother could be faced with, not knowing Shawny would find herself in the same situation years later. To hear important information from a child that brings you to your knees is a story that needs to be told. Who would have thought Lightning would have struck twice?

Many people dedicate their whole lives to starting and building relationships. They believe these connections will bring some fulfilment to their lives, and that may be so. But there are also many who struggle to attain or neglect to nurture the most important relationship a person can have: a relationship with God. Claude Pitout has lived his life without a belief in and relationship with God the Father, and so can attest to just how important that relationship is. His book encourages readers to explore the question: Are you just religious, or do you have a personal relationship with God? More than that, though, it explains just what that kind of relationship looks and feels like, and how you can have it in your life. A true, close relationship with God the Father is within your reach. And you can learn how to attain it. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV
