This is a daily devotional intended to guide the reader in a more personal relationship with God.

This book is about waiting upon the Lord and the richness that comes into your life when you allow Him to do all the talking. Yes there is a time to talk and pray and let your requests be made known, yet you will learn to quiet your mind and your mouth and listen to whatever the Lord Jesus wants to tell you. Wow! It's Amazing!

Spiritual Boot Camp is a book centered around living on fire for the Christian faith and letting those around you watch you burn. As you learn to walk in the light, as God is in the light and have fellowship with Him, you will begin to see the rewards of this closer relationship go from hit and miss communication to moment by moment fellowship as the Master continues to talk to you. As a soldier of the Cross of Christ, one of the dangers in our society is the worldly view that Christianity is just another religion rather than an intimate friendship with our precious Savior. In this book you will learn how and where to engage your passions for the Lord Jesus. It will quench all your spiritual thirsts, satisfy your driving hungers, meet your deepest desires and calm the fears that are thrust at you from the world. Spiritual Boot Camp will set readers on a lifelong path of intrigue and fascination as the ways of God become less mysterious because of a first-hand, in-depth growing relationship with the Creator who wants to get to know you. Enjoy this book, Blessings.

Parenting maybe a no-brainer to you because you have good parents. But raising Godly children is another level of parenting that goes beyond being good parents to being Godly parents. Teaching your children to love God, His Word, Jesus His Son and how to walk in the God kind of Love is a higher level of obedience then most parents dare to go. I call it "The obedience factor."

Haunted by a secret knowledge and a repressed enchantment, Western rationality is not what it seems. Rembrandt's famous painting of an anatomy lesson, the shrunken head of an Australian indigenous leader, an aerial view of Paris from a balloon: all are windows to enchantment, curiosities that illuminate something shadowy and forgotten lurking behind the neat facade of a rational world. In Curious Visions of Modernity, David Martin unpacks a collection of artifacts from the visual and historical archives of modernity, finding in each a slippage of scientific rationality-a repressed heterogeneity within the homogenized structures of post-Enlightenment knowledge. In doing so, he exposes modernity and its visual culture as haunted by precisely those things that rationality sought to expunge from the "enlightened" world: enchantment, magic, and wonderment. Martin traces the genealogies of what he considers three of the most distinct and historically immediate fields of modern visual culture: the collection, the body, and the mapping of spaces. In a narrative resembling the many-drawered curiosity cabinets of the Renaissance rather than the locked glass cases of the modern museum, he shows us a world renewed through the act of collecting the wondrous and aberrant objects of Creation; tortured and broken flesh rising from the dissecting tables of anatomy theaters to stalk the discourses of medical knowledge; and the spilling forth of a pictorializing geometry from the gilt frames of Renaissance panel paintings to venerate a panoptic god. Accounting for the visual disenchantment of modernity, Martin offers a curious vision of its reenchantment.
