I wrote this book so Christians can get the right perspective on the Word of God, the Bible, to get an understanding of the Word on healing. If you're a Christian and serve God, you have covenant rights in the Word of God. The Lord healed his people in the old covenant and the new. Jesus not only bore our sins on the cross to save us, he also bore our sicknesses so we could be healed-"by whose stripes we were healed" (Isaiah 53:3-5). In this book I go into detail in the word of God about how healing belongs to us; it's our God-given covenant right, and Jesus paid the price for it. There are many ways to be healed in the Word of God. In this book I go into specific detail regarding how to walk and live in divine health and how to receive your healing. As a minister, I have seen people healed time after time. God can't lie or fail-just believe.

God is the creator of all life. God is supernatural, a spirit. He created the heavens and earth. There's nothing hard for God. In this book I show God's mercy and goodness toward mankind, his love toward us. The Lord has always met his people's needs, a lot of times supernaturally. All we have to do is believe God and his Word. God can do anything: raise the dead, heal, bless, meet needs whatever they are. We have to understand that God loves us, and wants to bless us. In John 14:12, the Bible says that the works that Jesus did, believers will do also, only they will be greater works because the greater One-the Holy Spirit-lives within us and does them through us, as we yield to him and let him use us. God is looking for people to use in these last days, people who will believe him and his Word. In this book I tell how to get hold of God, and what to do to prepare yourself to be used by him. The Lord has always used people-it might as well be you. I tell you how, according to the Word of God. God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living.

This book is about how we need a savior. The penalty for sin is death, but Christ takes our sins and saves our souls when we accept him. This book deals with the issues of life without Christ-how we live in a sinful world, cursed by God, until you accept his son Jesus. Did you ever wonder why your life is so messed up, even though you might be a good person? In this book I explain why: it's because if you're not born again-saved by the cross of Christ and the blood of Christ-you're living in a world that God cursed. On the cross Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law so that we could be blessed by God again, reconciled back to God, and put in good right standing with him again. Jesus did all this on the cross for us. In the book I explain what happened to man because of sin in the Scriptures, and what happens to us when we accept Jesus. God loves us and made a way to get out of sin, be blessed again, and escape hell. Jesus did all of that for us. I explain it in the Word of God in this book and break it down so that you can understand salvation. If you die and never accept Jesus in your life, Revelation 20:15-20 says you will go to hell. That's the gospel truth. It doesn't cost us anything to be saved-just a prayer and inviting Jesus into your heart and life. It cost him everything, but he did it because he loved us.

I wrote this book to help Christians understand and know the importance of studying the Bible and finding God's truths for themselves. The Bible says to study to show yourself approved of God (2 Tim. 2:15). We need to know the Bible to stay on track in life. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." In this book, I show the importance of natural food, and spiritual food that is required to remain healthy. Your body and spirit both need to be fed. In this book, I show you the importance of feeding both, to grow and stay healthy and balanced in both.

This new book systematically examines the current process for distressed Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and proposes a different, more appropriate, 'modular' approach to the treatment of such entities when faced with insolvency proceedings. MSMEs play a vital role in virtually all global economies. They are a primary means by which entrepreneurs bring new business propositions to the market, and deliver a range of products and services to local economies. MSMEs tend to be more reliant on favourable legal and regulatory climates to survive and thrive than larger businesses, and insolvency regimes are often more tailored to these larger businesses, assuming an extensive insolvency estate of significant worth, and the presence of creditors and other concerned stakeholders to participate in and oversee the process. These assumptions and features are generally incongruous with the reality of MSMEs, for whom assets are of less value and whose stakeholders are generally more disinterested. The modular approach proposed in this book addresses the imbalances, inconsistencies, and lack of supervision which is often apparent in treatment of insolvent MSMEs. It provides an overview of existing approaches to MSME insolvency, the place of MSMEs in the global economy, and the particular needs of MSMEs in financial distress. It then sets out the procedural framework, policy objectives, and key components of the modular approach, detailing how a choice of modules enables national policy-makers a more flexible process for resolution. It then outlines the roles, positions, and obligations of key stakeholder groups, and explains the managerial, administrative, and judicial functions of this approach. Finally, it explains how elements of the broader legal system should be aligned with, and supportive of, the optimal functioning of the modular approach.
