The Millennium Church is a book of revelatory insight into how we can reach and establish a diverse body of people who are infused with the DNA of God Himself. The new Generations that make up Christendom will settle for nothing less than the best for the Kingdom of God. From fishers of men to shadow casters; from titles on our office doors to towels around our waists; from Shepherd boys to kings; we have to change our spiritual mindsets. It is past time for the Church to think outside of the box; and even color outside of the lines. The Millennium Church will stretch our spiritual thought patterns and give to us the boldness and elasticity to reach a difficult generation for the sake of Gods Kingdom. You will never view The Church the same after reading: The Millennium Church! Author: Rev. Mrs. Kathy Sandlin

A captivating look at two centuries of surfing—"the Sport of Queens"—from Native Hawaiian royalty to the breakout style and jaw-dropping feats on the waves today. Few subjects in the world of sports and or the outdoors is more timely or compelling than women’s surfing. From smart, strong, fearless women shattering records on 80-foot waves to professional athletes fighting for equal pay and a more fair and just playing field, these amazing, wave-riding warriors provide an inspirational and aspirational cast of powerful role models for women (and men) across all backgrounds and generations. Over the past two-hundred years, and especially the past five decades, the surfing lifestyle have become the envy of people around the world. The perception of sun, sand, surf, strong young women and their inimitable style, has created a booming lifestyle and sports industry—and the sport that is set to make it’s Olympic exhibition debut in Tokyo 2021. A massive shift from when colonizers tried to extinguish all traces of Native Hawaiian surfing and its sacred culture. What is it about the surfing that intrigues people of all ages, from all corners of the world? The beaches and idyllic locations? The unique style and mystique that surfers project? These women, on the beach and riding giant waves, or in the media, have made their mark on not just their sport, but our wider culture. Women on Waves is filled with phenomenal athletic performance, breakthrough female achievements, and plenty of inspiration and fun to see us through until the time when we can all hit the surf once more! Spanning a millennia, From Hawaii to Malibu, New York to Australia, South Africa to the South Pacific and beyond, Jim Kempton presents a fascinating new narrative that will captivate anyone who loves sports and the outdoors.
