This book was inspired by God and written to give hope to the lost (unsaved) and to the saved (born again believers).God is the only One who knows where you are--what's in the heart of each person--but wherever you are, there is hope.

Some of author Betty Burnett's life experiences are written in the book to help you to identify and locate yourself. Additionally, her experiences will allow you to see the kind of drama she had in her life and what a basket case she was. You will also see that some of her experiences seemed hopeless, but God gave her hope through people He put in her life to exemplify His great love, which brought life to her situation.

The book will give you a better understanding of salvation, which will give you more hope. As you grow into knowledge and understanding through the word of God, something that takes time, you will begin to have a different out look on life. You will understand that everybody has their own problems and that somebody else's experience and how they overcame will encourage you to keep moving forward.

With the upmost intimacy, the Spirit of the Lord unveiled many hidden secrets of God's image throughout our bones. It was because of this Teacher's insight and guidance through the study of the musculoskeletal system, I was privileged to enjoy this eye-opening journey.

While on our path of study, this amazing Teacher highlighted descriptive words along with biblical number values that were as golden nuggets or stepping stones through the temple of my own body. Those same golden nuggets proved to reveal hidden secrets of God's handiwork as from a carpenter's blueprint.

The Spirit of the Lord revealed God's image in one group of our bones, to represent Jesus' birth; His life and ministry; thorns that relate to the Kingdom of God, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Revelation 4:2-4 has a powerful image of God that surrounds the Sword of the Spirit; and a breathtaking image of God's love through the Cross. Each and every one of God's images relate to Genesis 1:26. God said, "Let Us make man in our image, according to Our likeness..." I was constantly reminded that these images of God, and more, were first framed within Adam's bones, and they exceed far above all the animals that God Created.

This book holds a gift of love and encouragement for the entire body of Christ as well as those who are searching for unshakeable identity. God's image, cleverly designed within our bones will build greater confidence to allow God's power to flow more freely.

Our time is short on this earth. Jesus will soon be returning to take His children home ... but are we ready? There are preparations we can make. The book you are holding is a story about fighting the good fight of faith and conquering it with Christ's help. God's Word says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6) The Bible also says, "The truth shall make you free ... ye shall be free indeed." (John 8:32,36)

Author Rick Streight speaks heart-to-heart with the reader about the realities of the Christian journey and the reward that is waiting for us. He also speaks about the dangers that surround us, the temptations we often struggle with, and how to overcome sin through Christ.

He asks a major question: "Why hasn't Jesus come yet ?" This book answers that important question.

Are you spiritually homesick? God has made a plan that we may have ..". boldness in the day of Judgment." (1 John 4:17) Jesus depended totally on His Father for wisdom and power.

About "Uninformed Conscience" John F. Kavanaugh, S.J. says "If a nation or church forms its people to accept assertions blindly, without supporting evidence, it will form a community not of moral agents but of menaces. They may be sincere, but they will be sincere menaces." AMERICA, June 21-28, 2010, pg 9] Conscience speaks to the meaning of Eucharist. If we buy in to the Eucharistic Theology of the Cosmic Christ, we must be open to the vital coinage of death. The multiplication of many from one is the miracle of divine/ human hypostasis, the miracle of the largesse of symbiotic life. The amplification of life speaks to the truth that less is more, that unless the seed dies there is no flourishing and amplification of life. Individuality resources multiplicity even as multiplicity resources individuality; spirituality is resurrection-consciousness, the energy of prevision and provision that does not die but transforms and transfers into multiplicity. Resurrection is the consciousness of self-reflective vitality. About Eucharist, right as grain says it best. It is in dying that we live; it is in giving that we receive; that we become one with Other-the personal oneness of Eucharist in the Cosmic Christ. Wisdom is Eucharistic consciousness, the intentional embrace of transformation. In mindfulness we become the "good seed" that greens the greater abundance of life. The greening of life from the dying seed informs the adage "better to give than receive." And so must be our individual relationship with each other and nature. What Self Donation Is is about living the fulfilled, abundant life of informed conscience, not by blind submission to cultural death as imposed by worldview blindness of staticism and centrism. Faith in absolutism is blind; openness to evolution is visionary. Absolutism misinforms conscience and cultures premature death; transformation informs and matures open life.

The Common and Special Gifts of the Holy Spirit seeks to propel us into the presence of the Most High God, allowing entry into the spiritual realm?one that we were created to be part of. God was thinking about us before He created us; thus, we were spirits before we were ever adorned with this flesh. Our spirit knows no age, but does increase in power and ability. This power increases until we reach eternity, our beginning with no end. God created precious gifts for us to enjoy along the way?the gifts of the Holy Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12 in the Holy Bible. He gave us the gifts of the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, and tongues and their interpretation. We are given common words of wisdom to keep us reverent to God, allowing Him to guide our daily lives. The Common and Special Gifts of the Holy Spirit explains that these common and special gifts are all given by God, the Holy Spirit, and they unlock the potential for us to have a spiritual encounter of the grandest magnitude.

"It has been my privilege to know Franklin Trainer for several years. He is a man of Christian character and has proven himself faithful. He takes his responsibilities very seriously while attempting his very best to live holy and being led by the Spirit. I would say that he is old fashion in his beliefs, but he simply just believes the Bible. You will only find him using the King James Bible in his studies and devotionals. My wife has spent time with his wife and their home is solid, stable and full of Christian joy. If you want to read devotionals written by a man that lives them out daily, please read Provoked." Sincerely, Evangelist Matt Pringle Ottumwa Baptist Temple Ottumwa, Iowa "Cut from the old cloth of the patriarchs, Franklin Trainer wastes no time trying to be good. He knows that he is a sinner and must have God's own goodness for his own. Franklin is not concerned with simply being right. Rather, he insists on Christ's righteousness being imputed to him. This is a man who has been to Bethel, and who has walked with God and every aspect of his life is fragrant with the aroma of celestial delights. Now he has erected an altar, and welcomes us all to worship with him at the feet of the One he adores. Having wrestled with God for every benediction within, Franklin generously invites us to enjoy them with him." Pastor Caleb Thompson Austin, Texas Born and raised in rural Missouri, Franklin grew up appreciating the value of candor and honesty. Choosing early on to surround himself with older mentors, his own age and maturity has now served to solidify the benefit of having learned plain speak during his formative years. Reared in a crosspatch of Protestantism, but not saved until the age of 29, has forged a post salvation passion, and a compelling heart, to reach out to others who perhaps live in like delusion that all is well with their soul apart from being "born again" (cf. John 3:3, 5). Working for some 24 years in youth ministry, Franklin takes seriously the admonition "to teach others also" those eternal truths instilled in him by "faithful men" gone on before (cf. 2 Timothy 2:2). Franklin teaches and preaches regularly in chapel and Sunday morning classes as a staffer at his local church and Christian school; as well as on the radio in the nearby community. Married, with two grown daughters, two terrific sons-in-law, and one granddaughter; life in CHRIST is rich and rewarding indeed. The Trainer's make their home in the Ozark region of the 'Show Me' state; enjoying country living at its finest, amidst some of the best climate and scenery found anywhere under GOD'S Heaven.

In "A Great Silence in the Land," K.W. Swain adamantly defends the Holy Bible--the actual dictation of the Holy Spirit who inspired holy men of old first to speak it, then to record it, and later translate it on its way around the globe to spread the Gospel of Christ.   It is the Word of the Holy Spirit, and His watch care over it is described in a small but interesting history of the KJV.Why has it been disavowed? Could it be the desire of today's world to be free of its "outdated" commands and the torment of conscience that has extinguished it as a light to the nations?Could this time of great wickedness be a result of its silence?The Holy Bible tells us how the world began and how it will end, but the world in its pleasures is blind to prophecy that is being fulfilled even now. Is the Book of The Revelation coming to life before our eyes? Here is an awakening look at the signs of the times. Believers will have much to think about. Unbelievers will scoff, but as events make headlines, even they may be surprised.
