The humbling of one's heart is the means by which they successfully knock on elevation's door. Therefore, it is as arduous for anyone to truly be exalted as they find it difficult to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God. By what technology did I write a book that would inspire millions of people around the world when all the odds were against me as far as ethos is concerned? When I was microscopic in my own eyes, the Lord saw me and loved me into becoming a blessing to nations. I heard questions that I simply did not have the answers to. Who are you? Where did you come from? Who are your parents? Who is going to sponsor you? Who's going to read your book? Why should people even listen to you? How are you going to make it anyway? Do you even have a college degree? What company is going to publish you? These were not questions posed by others; these were interrogations that I wrestled with in my head. For the longest time, I was against myself, but all along, the Holy Spirit was for me. Hence, here I am--a published author. There was more dispiritedness that came from myself than anyone else could encourage or discourage. But my help came from the hill of the One who made it His business to clean my hands more than I could get them dirty and purify my heart with a fire that no cold could conquer. Holy Spirit Academy: A Hair Strand of Humility's Head will certainly strengthen, renew, and restore your heart, mind, and soul. In fact, it is the purpose of this volume to endue you with a degree of knowledge and understanding of God that could only have sprung from the Spirit of Jesus.

Winner of the 2019 SECAC Award for Excellence in Scholarly Research and Publication In The Riddle of Jael, Peter Scott Brown offers the first history of the Biblical heroine Jael in medieval and Renaissance art. Jael, who betrayed and killed the tyrant Sisera in the Book of Judges by hammering a tent peg through his brain as he slept under her care, was a blessed murderess and an especially fertile moral paradox in the art of the early modern period. Jael’s representations offer insights into key religious, intellectual, and social developments in late medieval and early modern society. They reflect the influence on art of exegesis, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, humanism and moral philosophy, misogyny and the battle of the sexes, the emergence of syphilis, and the Renaissance ideal of the artist.

This saga is about a young man’s remarkable experiences from an early age. His father’s desire to learn to fly an airplane began as a ten-year-old in the Texas Panhandle but instead had to quit school and formal education to survive working in the Great Depression of the 1930s. Because of him, Rocky Don Stone piloted a crop-dusting helicopter at the age of sixteen, before he’d even sat in an airplane and found himself in the Caribbean Sea flying a seaplane for Hemingway Aviation in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the age of nineteen. His life changes dramatically over a two-year period, including befriending Bob Marley in Kinston, Jamaica, and becoming world-famous in Mazatlan, Mexico. The story includes interesting Meso-American facts told by anthropologists and historians. Learn about why the Cayman Islands are so special. A simple come-on line to meet an islander girl in Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas, of the US Virgin Islands catapults Rocky Don’s life far beyond his expectations. However adventurous and successful he became, Rocky Don remained humble and considered himself a regular guy. Get excited by the prospect of finding a sunken pirate ship last seen in 1686. There is a woman who is one of a set of quadruplets that all look alike but are each of a different race, who, in 1971, was forty-two years old. Learn about the location of the first golf course in the Western Hemisphere. The book will be an adventure to read.

“Every decent friendship comes with a drop of hatred. But that hatred is like honey in the tea. It makes it addictive.” Charismatic Marie Antoine is the daughter of the richest man in 19th century Montreal. She has everything she wants, except for a best friend—until clever, scheming Sadie Arnett moves to the neighborhood. Immediately united by their passion and intensity, Marie and Sadie attract and repel each other in ways that thrill them both. Their games soon become tinged with risk, even violence. Forced to separate by the adults around them, they spend years engaged in acts of alternating innocence and depravity. And when a singular event brings them back together, the dizzying effects will upend the city. Traveling from a repressive finishing school to a vibrant brothel, taking readers firsthand into the brutality of factory life and the opulent lives of Montreal’s wealthy, When We Lost Our Heads dazzlingly explores gender, sex, desire, class, and the terrifying power of the human heart when it can’t let someone go.

What happens when a young woman promises God everything and he takes it? With an unquenchable passion to glorify her Savior at nineteen years old, Bethany McClurg was on the cusp of following her dreams into a life of music and ministry. Suddenly diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia just two weeks after resolutely committing to follow God wherever he would lead, she was thrown into a journey that would draw her farther from her own dreams and closer to her God than she ever could have imagined. In this honest and inspiring account of her battle with a life-threatening disease and its ensuing complications, Bethany stands bravely behind the shield of faith to confront the far more wearisome battles of unbridled fear, despair, and discouragement. The cornerstone of her very existence is altered as the cross becomes her beacon and strength, taking the place of broken dreams and shattered trust. Then like a songbird on wings of grace, she emerges from the valley of the shadow of death, beckoning others to choose to sing of his love once again and forever.
