DOWNLOAD EBOOKGoing to prison was the most horrible and traumatizing experience of my life, however, it was also one of the most significant things that ever happened to me. Prison scared me straight, so to speak. While in prison I came to recognize what I am not, and I was able to create an internal space where I found the freedom to explore and reconnect with who I am. While in prison I learned to identify my thinking and behavior errors, and how not to repeat those same errors as I moved forward. As a (wo)man thinks, so is (s)he. My personal experience has taught me that those things I think about most often are the things I will do most often. Years before I went to prison my thinking was very limited and full of false information and ideas about the world around me. False information and ideas mixed with hard drugs and liquor most often end with poor results. How I used to think about things and solve problems before going to prison is what led me to prison. I think I experienced a growth process from the inside out while in prison, and I hope to share a part of my journey with you through this journal. I was released from prison on December 26, 1997.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat impossibly big dream or impossibly big failure is God calling you to take a journey circling around the promise and to fail better? Sharing inspiring human experiences from her own journey to fail better in prison, Anmy Tran will help you uncover your heart’s deepest desires and God-given promises and unbridle them through the kind of audacious communication that God delights to give you the desire of your heart. Hidden in ancient biblical stories and scriptures from the Old and New Testaments, the mysteries of promises revealed in To Fail Better are as raw as a reality show because they are the omens of the present; the scriptures revealed the secret is here in the present. If attention is paid to the present, it can be improved upon. And if the present is improved, what comes later will also be better. The revelations are so specific that you can forget about the future and walk each day in the scriptures, confident that God’s love always prevails and his promises to his children are always fulfilled—it’s real. Written in an absorbing narrative style, To Fail Better opens with the appearance of a woman burdened with unexpected storm. Through it are a series of messages she has received in the form of travel photography through a pen. Each travel unveils a failure and a prophetic mystery concerning failing better that will change the way one sees living forever. “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure” (Paulo Coelho).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGod doesn't bless us to raise our standard of living. God blesses us to raise our standard of giving, and that's where true joy is found. The New York Times bestselling author of Chase the Lion challenges us not to settle for half of what God offers when it comes to blessings—we are BLESSED to BLESS. His discovery started with a simple experiment. Whenever Batterson received a blessing, he would give a similar blessing away. If someone paid him a compliment or gave him a gift or went out of their way to help him, he would return the favor by doing something similar for someone else. We flip the blessing by blessing others in the way God has blessed us. That’s how the blessing becomes a double blessing. It turns giving into a game—one we can’t win because God will always outgive us! It’s an ancient truth found within the Abrahamic covenant: “I will bless you . . . and you will be a blessing.” In other words, we are blessed to bless. The first blessing is receiving, but it doesn’t end there. The second blessing is giving it away! That’s the double blessing. And that’s where double joy is found. In a day and age where the idea of blessing has been reduced to a hashtag (#blessed), Batterson challenges readers to pursue true, God-glorifying blessing and experience an exponential impact by participating in the double blessing. Don’t settle for half of what God offers. Discover how you can both get it and give it . . . in Double Blessing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe promise of God is like a seed given to a farmer. It must be planted in good soil and well taken care of. Courageously and patiently, with much devotion, that farmer will vigilantly wait, observing his crop day by day without distraction until the harvest comes. We do not believe in God because things look good, but because we must put our total trust in the Lord, whatever the circumstances may be. But what some forgot is that if the presence of the Lord isn’t with His people, the Ark of the Covenant among them is nothing more than a piece of equipment. Walking in obedience to the Lord is an opportunity for those who are devoted to Him to position themselves for victory. Waiting on the Lord is about knowing the God who gives us the understanding to position ourselves to receive the fulfilment of His promises.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMy book is about incarceration, call, and the covenant of God through His Word. During incarceration, I wondered how I let myself get back into prison. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that my problem is "relationships," and that God wants me (us) to build a relationship first with Him. The Word of God says, "But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). Then, I read in the bible, "7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for you reap what you sow. 8 If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit" (Galatians 6:7-8). My book is about how God provided me with everything that I needed, including a mate after release from prison which is not the topic of this book. But, it is an allegory of how God brings all things together for the good and for His glory. My book is about the covenant of God with His people and that He is faithful to us even if we are not faithful to Him. The Word of God says, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 Indeed by faith, our ancestors received approval. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible" (Hebrew 11:1-3).
