English-born Francis Asbury was one of the most important religious
leaders in American history. Asbury single-handedly guided the
creation of the American Methodist church, which became the largest
Protestant denomination in nineteenth-century America, and laid the
foundation of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements that flourish
today. John Wigger has written the definitive biography of Asbury
and, by extension, a revealing interpretation of the early years of
the Methodist movement in America. Asbury emerges here as not
merely an influential religious leader, but a fascinating
character, who lived an extraordinary life. His cultural
sensitivity was matched only by his ability to organize. His life
of prayer and voluntary poverty were legendary, as was his
generosity to the poor. He had a remarkable ability to connect with
ordinary people, and he met with thousands of them as he
crisscrossed the nation, riding more than one hundred and thirty
thousand miles between his arrival in America in 1771 and his death
in 1816. Indeed Wigger notes that Asbury was more recognized
face-to-face than any other American of his day, including Thomas
Jefferson and George Washington.

Millions of people all over the world survived the Great Depression. Millions more lived through World War II. Nowhere near as many faced the end of the war as a twenty-year old high school dropout, emotionally hurting, not knowing what to do, or where to turn for help. This is what it was like to be on the scrap heap of life, and rescued.
The popular Diary of Saint Maria Faustina is now available in a
mass market paperback size in Spanish.
In 2008, Lora-Neish realized that her life had suddenly gone
from bad to worse-she just kept failing, no matter how hard she
tried. Finally one afternoon, desperate for an answer, she
attempted to remember a time when she was genuinely happy. The
answer came almost immediately-from the moment she welcomed Jesus
back into her heart, her life began to change dramatically.
In her memoir, "God Said It's Time for Closure," Lora-Neish
shares compelling personal anecdotes that detail her experiences
during difficult periods in her life and illustrate her often
challenging journey through emotional devastation, abuse, and
rejection that eventually led to a new beginning inspired by
guidance from the Bible. As a survivor of not only a tragic
childhood, but also rape, Lora- Neish learned to internalize her
pain, comforting herself only with unhealthy relationships, drugs,
and alcohol. Through her poignant anecdotes, Lora-Neish
demonstrates how she was given a second chance at life through the
love of Jesus Christ.
"God Said It's Time for Closure" is an unforgettable story of
survival and a testimony to others that no matter what is endured
in life, it is still possible to reach for the stars with the help
of Jesus Christ.
'One of the world's most prominent radical scientists.' The
Guardian 'Vandana Shiva is an expert [on the dangers of
gobalization] whose analysis has helped us understand this
situation much more deeply.' Russell Brand A powerful new memoir
published to coincide with Vandana Shiva's 70th birthday. Vandana
Shiva has been described in many ways: the 'Gandhi of Grain,' 'a
rock star' in the battle against GMOs, and 'the most powerful
voice' for people of the developing world. For over four decades
she has vociferously advocated for diversity, indigenous knowledge,
localisation, and real democracy; she has been at the forefront of
seed saving, food sovereignty, and connecting the dots between the
destruction of nature, the polarization of societies, and
indiscriminate corporate greed. In Terra Viva, Dr Shiva shares her
most memorable campaigns, alongside some of the world's most
celebrated activists and environmentalists, all working towards a
livable planet and healthier democracies. For the very first time,
she also recounts the stories of her childhood in post-partition
India - the influence of the Himalayan forests she roamed; her
parents, who saw no difference in the education of boys and girls
at a time when this was not the norm; and the Chipko movement,
whose women were 'the real custodians of biodiversity-related
knowledge.' Throughout, Shiva's pursuit of a unique intellectual
path marrying quantum physics with science, technology, and
environmental policy will captivate the reader. Terra Viva is a
celebration of a remarkable life and a clear-eyed assessment of the
challenges we face moving forward - including those revealed by the
Covid crisis, the privatisation of biotechnology, and the
commodification of our biological and natural resources. 'All of us
who care about the future of Planet Earth must be grateful to
Vandana Shiva.' Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace

I AM NOT THE HEALER I CAN'T HEAL A FLEA'S HEADACHE JESUS IS THE
HEALER JESUS GETS THE GLORY JESUS GETS THE PRAISE AND THE HONOR
I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE
REV. LEE HOFFMAN
In My Personal Walk and Talk with Jesus, Lee Hoffman tells of
his trip with Jesus how he got there, all about their time spent
together, and how he got back.
Jesus said, I never took anyone up to paradise this way and will
never again. Read it carefully, and you will know the great
difference and very personal way of going to paradise with Jesus
and Hoffman.
This was not an accident; the journey happened with a personal
tour guide and was planned by the Lord Jesus himself. What a thrill
and a wonderful experience Hoffman tells of feeling very fortunate
and privileged to be a servant of the Most High. As you read it,
believe it is really happening to you.
Read what your wonderful Jesus has already done for others and
is more than willing to do for you, since he himself said, I am no
respecter of any person. What I have done for others I will do for
you.

comprendida, admirada, valorada y sobre todo tener un lugar
especial, en los hogares y en la sociedad. Si no es asi? nosotras

para ser perdonados. El contenido de este libro los guiara a como
mantener vivo un matrimonio por anos o por toda la vida.....
