Religion is a hard topic to discuss, especially with family members who do not have the same religious beliefs. This book began as a paper given to family members and friends in an attempt to show them what the scriptures teach about the Sabbath. Though a number of Sabbath-keeping church members and leaders refused to discuss the paper, other ministers and church friends thought it should be published. Years of studying and writing have culminated into "The Sabbath, the Law, and the New Covenant." This book takes the central theme of the Bible, God's redemptive plan for mankind, and walks the reader through the scriptures. It begins with the plan's inception and then explains how the plan was introduced to man, how it began to unfold, and finally how the plan was fulfilled. This book highlights many of the scriptures that teach about the Sabbath, the Old Testament Laws, including the Ten Commandments, and the New Testament covenant of Jesus Christ, while comparing some widely held beliefs with the word of God. For all who truly love the word of God and worship on the seventh-day Sabbath, this book is a must-read. Those who wish to learn about the subject matter will also find the information insightful, coming from one who formerly worshiped on the seventh-day Sabbath.

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.

Just as Jesus spoke to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, so too will He speak personally to the reader as he or she "walks" with Him.

In Walk With Me, Jesus says, "Let me take you to that moment when I will enter your heart." To walk with Jesus, to be with Him, to listen to Him, to hear Him, makes it possible to become more like Him so that little by little our hearts and minds reflect Jesus.

"I want to let you know who you are to Me and to My Father. And to tell you that We need you. To you, beloved one, God gives His life and calls you into His very life. Come and see how our life together grows from simply being together each day."

God has His perfect plan for each of us; each of us is completely in His mind, and His will for each is perfect. The "way" of Jesus is the holy way, the wonder-filled way, the way that bears much fruit in our life and in the world.

"I am the Friend who, through our friendship, will bring you further into eternal life." It is the life He alone brings and nourishes.

Give Him that moment to be with Him, to listen to Him, to hear Him, to let Him touch your life, and to let Him lead you. (233 words)

For centuries scientists and theologians have argued about the origin, structure, function, and purpose of the universe, with no end in sight. In the meantime, the average human being, when not overwhelmed by activities needed for mere survival, has wondered who we are, where we came from, and why we're here. Dr. Michael Bohley believes that the answers we seek are hiding in plain sight, available to anyone with a healthy brain, regardless of level of education or specialization in certain obscure fields of science, theology, or philosophy. The answers are to be found within the sphere of our beliefs and how they help to shape the world around us.

From the 1990s the British developed an interest in
natural burial, also known as woodland, green, or ecological burial. Natural
burial constitutes part of a long, historical legacy for British funeral
innovation; from Victorian cemetery monuments and garden cemeteries through the
birth and rise of cremation to the many things done with cremated remains. The
book sets natural burial in the context of such creative dealing with death,
grief, mourning, and the celebration of life. Themes from sociology and
anthropology combine with psychological issues and theological ideas to show
how human emotions take shape and help people consider their own death whilst
also dealing with the death of those they love.
The authors explore the variety of motivations for
people to engage with natural burial and its popular appeal, using interviews
with people having a relationship with one natural burial site created by the
Church of England but open to all. They illustrate people's understandings of
life and death in the sacred, secular and mixed worlds of modern Britain.
