In a dozen riveting vignettes, Richard Exley sketches a revealing and intimate portrait of Jesus as He was seen through the eyes of the people He touched during His final days.
Each chapter is based on phrases from the worship song "He Knows My Name" and communicates the wonder of how God knows each of us in an unspeakably intimate way. Emphasis is on the love of God toward us and the significance of God calling us His children. He knows us, loves us, sympathizes with us, listens to us, has a future for us, forgives us, and delights in us. The chapters end with a prayer acknowledging these truths, promoting worship and gratitude to the Father. Personal testimonies are included from people around the world who have been touched by the Father's love through the words to the song "He Knows My Name."
You may be wondering why this book? Well; there are many books on the market that are inspired by God's Holy Spirit to give hope to all Nations. According to Matthew 28:28-29 we are to go into all the world and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation around the world. I believe that the Lord has given me this charge. We are in the midnight hour and we can see all the end time characteristics as the Bible speaks about. We are living in a world of chaos and confusion. People are looking for solutions to their problems. We are putting our hope and trust in the wrong places. I can assure you that things are going to get worst before they get better. We need to return to our spiritual and moral standers of life. Revelation 2:5: "Remember therefore from whence thou art falling, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent". Beloved it behooves us to get our house in order because Jesus Christ is coming soon. Take advantage of the hour accept the Lord Jesus before it's too late. Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. He wants to come in and sup with you and you with Him (Revelation 3:20). The Lord is speaking to you right now as you read this book? No matter what you've done in the past, No matter what you're doing right now; take time out to give your life to Jesus. He loves you in spite of our short comings. There will be a one world order with justice, and Righteous judgment, but only through our Lord and Savior who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
Amid the grandeur of the remote Pacific Northwest stands Kingcome, a village so ancient that, according to Kwakiutl myth, it was founded by the two brothers left on earth after the great flood. The Native Americans who still live there call it Quee, a place of such incredible natural richness that hunting and fishing remain primary food sources. But the old culture of totems and potlatch is being replaces by a new culture of prefab housing and alcoholism. Kingcome's younger generation is disenchanted and alienated from its heritage. And now, coming upriver is a young vicar, Mark Brian, on a journey of discovery that can teach him—and us—about life, death, and the transforming power of love.

He Called Me By My Name is the combination of two books: Book One: Over the Next Hill and Book Two: Courage and Hope. These books were written over an extended period: between the late '80s and 1998 for Book One and in 2005-2006 for Book Two. Book One: Over the Next Hill is the story of my life from my birth in Adria, Italy, to 1997 when our family left far north Queensland to find a home in New South Wales. The book relates the story of my childhood dreams and troubles, my travels and my struggle to find the meaning of my life. Book Two: Courage and Hope tells the story of our life in Lismore, both as parents and as a couple whose children have left home. Having achieved some of the purposes related in Book One: Over the Next Hill, I relate what happens in our family and how I came to terms with many of the questions of my youth.
Growing up in a broken home during the turbulent 1970s wasn’t easy, particularly if you were a city kid marooned in Northern British Columbia. One castaway, Mike Turkki, survived his childhood shipwreck and made it out alive. Now he’s ready to share just how dysfunctional, confusing, and humorous his teenage years were. In a bid to stay one step ahead of debt collectors and antagonistic relatives, the Turkki family—Mike, Kelly, Laina, Pat, and Olavi—left Vancouver and moved to Ootsa Lake in 1972 with little more than each other and the clothes on their backs. Eleven-year-old Mike was initially unimpressed by his new surroundings—why was everyone so distrustful of outsiders?—but soon became part of a ragtag group of boys intent on making money, chasing girls, and challenging authority in an isolated community on the brink of change. Though the bond between the boys weakened over time, their penchant for causing trouble never did. A tale of fishing trips, first drinks, family outings, and other near-mishaps, Mike Turkki’s coming-of-age memoir will have you laughing, crying, and reflecting on your own journey to adulthood.
Call My Name the Wind is introduced by a Native American myth that knits its way through the story and focuses on Matt Steele, who driven by blood inflicted events, conceals his Native background. He descends into the quagmire of white supremacist violence and despair until the epiphany that brings him together with Gloria Palmer who helps him return to the destiny tattooed across his genetic pool.
