The saints have forever intrigued me since I was a small child with their strength, faithfulness and their Christian beliefs and multiple sacrifices. How truly compelling, interesting and fascinating were the lives of the saints. What an inspiration they are in our daily lives to be able to read about their battle for Christianity against Paganism. The saints would desire that we be inspired by their perseverance to live a holy and devotional life, while sacrificing earthly pleasures; thus having a life devoted to following in the footsteps of God. Saints were the followers of Jesus they adored him and committed themselves totally to his message. They were the key players historically, socially and politically of the religion of Western Civilization. It was due to their resilience that most of their stories have existed for thousands of years. We have heard their names many times over again.........Saint Paul, Saint Peter and Saint Nicholas.......yes one in the same, Santa Clause, but what do we know about him or the other saints? Saint Nicholas is more than a "robust" man going from roof top to roof top in his iconic red suit. Devotion to the saints is worldwide but who would believe we have saints in our midst here on the Central Coast of California. Their story, told in "THE SAINTS of SAN SIMEON" (on the Central Coast of California) is about these sweet little gems. They are often overlooked by visitors at Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument, in San Simeon, California. They absolutely cast their enchanting incredible spell on me, so I decided to research their existence and share it with you, to tell you who they are, how they lived and what led to their martyrdom. Many first century Christians fled Jerusalem to Cappadocia, Turkey for safety after the crucifixion of Christ. This extraordinary region has a very large number of ancient churches carved into the region's soft rock hillsides. Cappadocia is an extraordinary region of "fairy chimney's, a
Is the cross Jewish or pagan? Learn the true meaning behind the ancient Hebrew letter Taw and how it is in the shape of the cross. Learn how the ancient cross is part of the fulfillment of the Jewish covenant through the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus)
This is a rewrite of the original book that was first published in 2010. The newer version contains issues and truths that some scholars won't agree with and which was not in the original book. This version fully explains how important the Holy Spirit is in our life. After the original book was published, Jesus through the Holy Spirit, said he was pleased with the book, but would like for the book to be rewritten by the author. The Holy Spirit told the author the that Jesus and God wanted the author to re-read and re-study the New Testament and re-write the book, with the authors interpretation and opinion. Jesus and God wanted all controversies, myths and contradictions confronted in the newer version, so the people know all truths. The book now contains what Jesus and God wanted and is based on facts in the New Testament and additional facts the Holy Spirit told the author to put in the book, along with the author's opinions after he re-studied the New Testament for over 2 years. This version contains the author's interpretation and opinions about-1-how important the Holy Spirt is in every person's life, every day-2- why God wrote the Commandments-3- Why Jesus was sent to earth - 4- Jesus' teachings, and happenening during Jesus' time on earth. The book contains truths and opinions on the following subjects-1-SEX-2-PRAYING-3- Who are True Believers in Jesus Christ-4- That Jesus wrote the 4 Gospels-5-Did Mary Magdalene and Jesus have a Personal Relationship-6-Can some sins can be forgiven-7-When will the World Ends-8-What happens to our spirit when we die-9-What will happen to Humans after the world ends-10-ETERNAL LIFE-11-Why does God limit who will live in his Kingdom-12-MIRACLES-13-CHILDREN and JESUS-14-ADULTERY-15- ABORTIONS-16-MONEY and POSSESSIONS-17-Same sex Marriage-18-Is humans life time on earth pre-determine-19-How Humans judging other humans, is wrong and againnst God's law -20-Giving to the poor. The book hones in on the subject of, Why Peter, one of Jesus' trusted Apostles never wrote a Gospel, The book explains, "The relationship Peter had with Jesus and how their relationship deteriorated in the end. The book contains the facts and opinions that God wanted in the book, so every person on earth will be able to decide between God and the Devil, regardin where they will spend eternity. God and Jesus wanted all controveries, myths and contradictions issues confronted and the book does that. Most religious scholars will say the author is wrong and he is a nut and he has no ideal what he is talking about, however each reader must decide that for themselves. After reading this book once, the reader will understand and know more about Jesus and God, than they will by going to church every Sunday for 10 years.
"So Ya' Wanna' Be a Teacher " tells the whole amazing true story of what really goes on in the typical American public school. The author was an English teacher for thirty-four years in a middle, junior-high and high school and knows all about the problem student, problem classes, crazy problem parents, student fighting, cheating, the Educational Aristocracy, nutty field trips, administrivia and bizarre assembly programs. The teacher in his career had taught over four thousand students, broken up over two-hundred and fifty fist fights, participated in over seven hundred fire drills and listened to loud school bells ring over a hundred and fifty thousand times. "So Ya' Wanna' Be A Teacher " is a very funny work that also identifies the true causes of educational inefficiency that the politicians and the press either can't pinpoint or are too afraid to reveal. The revolutionary book will inform the reader why Jimmy Brown doesn't write well, why public schools are no longer about students learning academics and why American public school democratic education is failing the nation. The book is living proof that truth is often stranger than fiction. "So Ya' Wanna' Be A Teacher " is author Jay Dubya's sixteenth book.

The book share with its readers sermon outlines that are for easy preaching. The material is researched, all you need to do is add your flavor.
Will main line churches disappear within twenty five to forty years as religious authorities now predict? What is behind this crisis so suddenly facing religious communities? Why does the chance of survival of religion decline as a nation becomes more highly developed? An historian, not a theologian, examines the political/religious environment in which the Gospels were written. Within that environment, why were they written? What was the motive of each writer? How did they write? How did the political/religious environment determine their different approaches to their Gospels? What were readers in that environment supposed to discover when reading those versions? Were there any clues? In a clear jargon-free exposition Can Religion Survive Worship clarifies the difference between worshiping the messenger and studying the message. If rituals, processes, and procedures are put aside, what is to become of churches and clergy that have existed primarily to preside over those rituals, processes, and procedures? What, if any, will then be the vehicle carrying the message? Warren Hickman has thrown down the gauntlet. It needs to be picked up?
Everyone knows that Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Is it possible that they have misunderstood the entire concept of the Messiah and his function in God's spiritual economy? Passages such as Isaiah 53 and Zechariah 13 are viewed as messianic by the Church but has the Church misused them to point to a confused portrait of a man that shouldn't have applied for the position? Is the New Testament an accurate picture of the events surrounding the times of Jesus or, is it fiction? As a former Christian of 25 years and son of a Southern Baptist minister, James entered a Messianic Jewish congregation to experience the teachings of the Messianic movement. Convinced something was terribly wrong, he left the movement and started studying to find the truth. After five years of intensive study and much prayer, James reveals in simple language how Christians have been lead down a path paved with deceit. Starting with the basics of Christianity, James then examines the "Messianic" prophecies that the gospel writers abused to point to Jesus, then the author dispels Christianity and uncovers the truth, beauty and simplicity of the Hebrew Bible. This book is written with two types of people in mind. First, for the Christian, in order to help them understand what they are dealing with when they try to make sense of Jesus and the New Testament. The second type of person, is the one who would like to learn how to defend their beliefs against the Christian missionary that uses the Hebrew Scriptures to promote their version of the messiah and their misplaced emphasis on him.

Ordained by God to impact families, marriages, singles, youth, the community and the nation through ministry, Apostle Charles A. Daniels is the Founder of New Beginnings International Ministries. He provides spiritual covering for several churches in the United States, Japan and Europe. His God given mission: "Equipping the Five-Fold, to equip the saints for the work of the ministry through training, prayer, praise, worship and the study of God's Word." A native of Hammond, Louisiana, Apostle Daniels completed his Doctorate in Theology from Grace Bible College and Seminary and earned a Master of Arts in Human Resource Management from Troy State University. He also has a Master of Arts in Theology from Grace Bible College and Seminary, a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Troy State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies from Gary Whetstone School of Biblical Studies. While serving in the United States Marine Corps on Okinawa, Japan, Apostle Daniels pastored United Missionary Baptist Church, in 1997 through 2001. In addition to serving as senior pastor, Apostle Daniels was the director of Christian Education and established the School of Theology. After a successful tour of duty and growing ministry, Apostle Daniels planted the first church of New Beginnings International Ministries in Jacksonville, NC and served as the senior pastor, New Beginnings Christian Center (NBCC) from 2001 to 2002. During 2002, the Lord's Churches and Fellowship International Ministries ordained Apostle Daniels a Bishop under the auspices of Bishop Grant Williams. Apostle Daniels planted another church, New Beginnings Anointed Christian Center (NBACC) in Pensacola, FL in 2002. Through the unity of God's people NBACC purchased their first building in 2005. In 2007, under the direction of God, Apostle Daniels moved to Killeen, Texas and founded New Beginnings for All People (NBFAP) where he is currently the senior pastor. Apostle Daniels' apostolic calling and visionary leadership continued to bear fruit evidenced by the first ordination of bishops for New Beginnings International Ministries (NBIM) in June 2009. Despite having a busy schedule as presiding prelate for NBIM, Apostle Daniels continues to teach, both locally and at NBIM affiliate churches throughout the world. He is well known for his passionate instruction and spirit-led leadership. God is using Apostle Daniels to ignite a new generation of Christian ministry leaders and believers within the Body of Christ. Comments about the impact of his ministry - "You motivate me to draw closer to God," "The way that you teach helps me to focus on the Word," "If God wasn't in your life I wouldn't be here today," and "You are a true father" confirm the great work God is doing through Apostle Daniels. Apostle Daniels and his wife, Pastor Elaine L. Daniels, have been married 27 years and have two beautiful children, Andrea and LaJoy. "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: " Ephesians 4:11-12.
This book provides ideas for parents who want to teach their child about God but who want to do so consistently with the modern world and the discoveries of science. A central theme of Teaching Your Child about God is that "there are other ways to conceive of God besides the anthropomorphic being we learned about as children. Chapters in Teaching Your Child about God discuss survey data showing what children around the world believe about God. Other chapters address what Correia calls "thinking lessons," by which he means the rational side of religion, "loving lessons," by which he means the relationship between loving God and loving others, and "feeling lessons," the relationship between God and self-acceptance. Other chapters discuss the role of God in moral development, the role of prayer in a scientific world, and the special problems of children who have become addicted to drugs or alcohol. The book concludes with an Appendix that describes the major religions of the world in a clear, objective and readable way. Correia argues that such a reference guide can be helpful because: "Knowing the basics of what others believe helps us bridge the gap of misunderstanding that can create barriers between groups."
See the recently released Christian Prepper's Handbook - "Second Edition" with over 100 pages of new information and a new cover design. My other books include The Prepper's Handbook - Second Edition, The Prepper's Survival Guide - An Introduction to Prepping and a Guide to Fire, and A Guide to Sheltering-In-Place. "For a short time frame The Christian Prepper's Handbook - Second Edition, released on 11.25.2013, will be available for $8.99." Significant Life Altering Event (SLAE), The End of the World As We Know It (TEOTWAWKI). A World without Rule or Law (WROL). This is what Christian Preppers prepare for.Bug-out Vehicle (BOV), Bug-out Bag (BOB), Bug-out Location (BOL), Bug-out Directions (BOD). This is the language of the Christian Prepper. This handbook will provide individuals, families, churches, or groups access to the unique mindset of those survivalists called Christian Preppers. Christian Preppers prepare for unknown circumstances, such as economic collapse, natural events, manmade catastrophes, and even the end of the world. Christian Preppers come from all walks of life, ranging from blue-collar workers to white-collar executives running multimillion-dollar companies. Christian Preppers find peace of mind knowing that they have the Bible, food, water, rifles, pistols, ammunition, shelter, heat, energy, and the experience to survive. They have knowledge and relationships that provide skills to construct, engineer, grow, preserve, forge, hunt, provide electricity, teach, and balance the requirements of the survival triangle. Christian Preppers act alone as well as become part of a larger Prepper community. To help better understand how Christians should prepare, I present The Survival Triangle(c), which most Preppers use as a guide. The Survival Triangle(c) demonstrates the basic foundation of Prepping, and as such I've labeled it the first tenet of Prepping. "As a Christian Prepper, I allow you to look through my eyes and share what I've learned and applied to my life. I provide numerous examples and methods of how you can become and understand Christian Preppers."
The Sermon on the Mount is the greatest speech ever and the best example of Jesus' teaching ability. His message contains gem-like multi-levels of understanding and timeless truths, which heal believers. This second volume on the Sermon on the Mount takes the healing from the individual level to the collective level. It was clearly Jesus' intent to improve the culture of his time. But the things he emphasized are just as needful and effective today for our troubled and sinful society. A special surprise uncovered in the objective analysis of the Sermon is the Apostolic Declaration of God as a Father. 150 pages are devoted to Jesus' presentation of the profound aspects of God as a Father and the responses of His children. Who better to know the greatest Father than the greatest Son The author takes this insight further into the practical application of how we should parent our children like God parents us. Who knew that the Sermon the Mount contained a Manual on Parenting? But how better to change our ailing culture Another 150 pages features the astounding depth of the Lord's Prayer: The Universe of Prayer which is the highway to God's heart and building a relationship with Him. The Lord's Prayer is much deeper than most Christians realize. The author showcases Jesus' profound style of multi-faceted presentation, analyzing the prayer from seven gem-like perspectives. This sermon changed the world and this detailed revival of it can change it again When you understand Jesus' words, you will never be the same

The last part of this seminar shows you how all physical, mental, spiritual things can be understood and determined by three simple principles, and ends on how to apply the Bible to your daily life. Anyone can study and learn from the Bible even if they have had very little education.
Many Christians have told me to quit being so nit-picking and let by-gone be be-gones, that what happened in the past was then, and now is now and things have changed. But, that is not true. Christians still read from their so-called NEW testament that is full of Jew-bashing, so subliminal that most Christians overlook it. It is not my desire to claim Christianity is wrong and that you should not believe in your god - but I want people to think. Perhaps what you have been led to believe is wrong? Think... Why is it wrong for a Christian to deny the divinity of Jesus yet why do Christians turn their blind eye to Christians Missionaries trying to convert Jews against the basic tenants of Judaism? Why is it that most all pictures of the different characters in Christianity have a sun-disk above their heads? The Church made its own "spin" on this calling them halos, but didn't the Church change Sabbath to Sunday, the day of the sun? Who actually wrote the Christian bible that Christians all over the world swear it? The Church admits they really don't know for sure and only guessed. Did Jesus write anything in the NEW testament, or was his thoughts written by men who thought they knew? Why did it take 2,000 years before the Pope acknowledged the Christian hatred towards Jews and the need for Christians to repent? Why all of a sudden were the Church wrong and the Jews right?

Grace Theological Institute series delves deeply into the Grace of God in all of its manifestations. There are five forms of grace. None of them can be ignored. To be fully equiped, all the five forms should be understood by believers and non-believers. Material Grace is the gift of matter and time to mankind. Matter and time are means of provision and resources for man to be managed. In this Tome, the origin and purpose of matter, time, and life are covered. Other theories on matter and life, such as Intelligent Design, the big bang, and evolution, are discussed. It is emphasized in this Tome 2 and in Tome 3 that consciousness is not a product of any biochemical process, but can be explained through quantum physics of life bosons. It is also shown that life existed before matter.
