Guided by an Unseen Hand is the story of the people, places, and events that influenced and shaped the ministry of Haywood T. Gray. After forty years in ministry, Gray shares both the mistakes and the miracles of his ministry as a means of encouraging others. The book is not his life story but an intimate look at what has shaped him, challenged him, and grown him in ministry. It is funny and sad, silly and brilliant, heartwarming and thought-provoking. The writer's aim is to provide a tool for readers to reflect, think, and grow. While specifically aimed at young ministers, the book can help any Christian who wishes a deeper commitment and a stronger faith and who seeks hope within life's struggles.
In this inspiring autobiography, Oscar Daniels shares major events and experiences from his life to teach important life principles about following God and recognizing the blessings He pours out in the lives of those who obey Him.

As you read this book, you will learn to look for and detect evidence of God's direct involvement in your everyday life. You will have a keener awareness of His presence, and you will be surprised at the extent to which God is actively involved in our lives on a daily basis.Things to which you once gave only scant attention will be recognized as blessings from God designed specifically for you. You will live your life with a new-found sense of gratitude for God's blessings.
Looking back on one’s life can bring forth memories of regret as well as exultation. The home and family is most generally a place of comfort and security; however, many can testify that it is often a place of trouble, heartache, and shame. Missionary life, as well, can be both exhilarating and frightening with its many unforeseen experiences. Learning a new language and culture may serve to deepen and enrich the life in so many ways but at the same time cause one to recognize the need for someone beyond oneself to provide some necessary help. It is in reflecting on what life has handed us that we are grateful for the unseen hand which has upheld us and led us regardless of the situations we’ve known. For my family and me, there was never a dull moment.
One of the most gifted poets of our time, Adam Zagajewski is a contemporary classic. Few writers in poetry or prose have attained the lucid intelligence and limpid economy of style that are the trademarks of his work. His wry humor, gentle skepticism, and perpetual sense of history's dark possibilities have earned him a devoted international following. This collection, gracefully translated by Clare Cavanagh, finds the poet returning to the themes that have defined his career—moving meditations on place, language, and history. Unseen Hand is a luminous meeting of art and everyday life.

"It is the contention of the author that the major events of the past, the wars, the depressions and the revolutions, have been planned years in advance by an international conspiracy."--Page 4 of cover
In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's Word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the "glorious ones" that even angels dare not rebuke? After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. Endorsements "There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches." --Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement "'How was it possible that I had never seen that before?' Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped. No one is going to agree with everything in his book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this book." --John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "This is a 'big' book in the best sense of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis. Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as their eyes are opened to the Bible's 'unseen world.'" --Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
