Parable articulated in Matthew 25, profiles the need to dig up the buried talents and maximise these, as a faithful steward. The book encapsulates the authors inner drive to pen events and thoughts that occupied her space. Focusing on Nandis dimple, which is Gods given trademark that must be protected and treasured, the book illuminates the authors thought processes. Well known to be a slow actor and mistakenly referred to as indecisive, she spends moments extracting the best out of every situation. Over years, she learnt the ability to transcend situations and rise to the best occasion. These thoughts have been packaged to unveil her physical, social and spiritual life, portraying her origins and how her upbringing has affected her professional and spiritual being. The views herein present the author as an individual, driven by her analytical skills, capturing Nandi the child, spiritual being, parent, the mentor and the mentored. The author belongs to a great clan of thinkers and cultural beings. She acknowledges military members who identified the talent and continually instructed her to put pen to paper. Finally, the ground breaking publication has revived the sleeping giant within the author and all that is there to say is that the pen is going to claim its power, more than ever!

Eating only when truly hungry, rather than when the clock dictates, frees us to pursue authentic living. We can push back true hunger for hours by exercise that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular fitness. This book, without being autobiographical, describes the author's ongoing physical and spiritual transformation, which began at age sixty-three. The sincere pursuit of Christ must include physical and spiritual self-discipline and the willingness to embrace suffering, including fasting. Sweaty, Sore, Sometimes Hungry challenges readers to get off of the couch, purchase the gym membership and training shoes, and love God authentically--as whole, faithful stewards of the bodies he entrusted to their care. Obesity and other lifestyle diseases are not acceptable options for the children of God, for those sincerely desiring to live to "the praise of his glory" (Eph 1:12).

In Stewardship: Living a Biblical Call, Bernard Evans presents an accessible and easily understood biblical and theological foundation for giving that both parishioners and stewardship leaders will find practical and valuable. In focused chapters, the many aspects of stewardship are named and described, assisting readers in recognizing gifts and actions that make practicing stewardship far more than a financial proposition. Grounded in years of practical work in this area with parish leaders, Evans adeptly ties the Catholic invitation to stewardship to biblical foundations as well as the social teaching of the church. A clear, concise, readable work, Stewardship: Living a Biblical Call also engages key questions of the age, such as ecological stewardship and care for body, mind, and spirit. Evans explores the communal and personal actions that help every believer proclaim the reign of God.

In a society where so many people feel helpless and hopeless, they need to grasp onto someone who will release them from the bondage preventing them from attaining the beautiful things God has in store. So often, we don't know how to fight our spiritual battles, leading to a weakened and defeated spirit. This state of delusion and confusion is only the work of a dark force that's keeping people shackled in chains and suppressing their glorious life of liberty in Jesus Christ. We all long for a life full of peace, purpose, and a plan that will lead to a glorious journey with the presence of our Lord every step of the way. The reality of believing in Jesus, obeying his word, and knowing the truth brings spiritual freedom. And such a privilege includes freedom from the bondage of falsehood! "For his truth sets us free!" This forty-day devotional guide through Exodus will show us times of being in bondage--to a stage of deliverance--to wandering in the wilderness--and how to rely on the strength and guidance of an Almighty God. And that's where spiritual freedom comes to the surface in our "intentional" lives!
