Scores of pastors and leaders testify: “THIS CHANGED MY LIFE AND MINISTRY.” The author considers these critical questions: In the beginning, before God created Adam (mankind), what was His original purpose and plan for him? What could have happened in the Garden of Eden if Adam had not sinned and God’s redemptive plan had not become necessary? We know that when God created Adam he received natural life, but how did God plan for Adam to receive Divine (uncreated life)? What is the difference between God’s creating and begetting work? It is evident that God has given the Cross a central place in His redemptive working; what is the difference between the work of the Cross and the way of the Cross? Since God, in the fullness of time, will put on display His Divine masterpiece before all the universe, how can we fully cooperate with him if we do not understand His Ultimate Intention?

As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

How do you build the career and life you want--especially with chaos swirling around you, throwing out roadblocks at every turn. Only when you understand that the world isn't set up to optimize, can you begin the journey to uncover your best and lead your life with intention. Bottom line: life is the ultimate experience model. You don't come with an operating manual that tells you how to be your best. You just have to figure it out to find the things that work. And the discovery is never done. You have to stay engaged, curious and willing to admit you don't know everything, so you can learn more to be your best. Dedicating yourself to the lifelong discipline of practice outlined in GROUNDED allows you to see what works and most importantly stay in tune with what grounds you at every turn of your journey. The questions change as people move through their lives. In their twenties, people wonder where to begin. In their thirties, people wonder if they are headed in the right direction. In their forties, they may begin to wonder if this is all there is. And in their fifties and beyond, they wonder what should happen next chapter. This notion of being grounded isn't about age, it's about attitude. Your life will have impact. Choices will be made. GROUNDED is dedicated to building the skill so you decide, not someone else. Your life is simply too important to leave it to chance. And if you choose to lead others, GROUNDED is dedicated to inspiring others to be their best because you have done the work to understand how to lead first yourself and now others.

This book questions when, why, and how it is just for a people to go to war, or to refrain from warring, in a post-9/11 world. To do so, it explores Just War Theory (JWT) in relationship to recent American accounts of the experience of war. The book analyses the jus ad bellum criteria of just war—right intention, legitimate authority, just cause, probability of success, and last resort—before exploring jus in bello, or the law that governs the way in which warfare is conducted. By combining just-war ethics and sustained explorations of major works of twentieth and twenty-first century American war writing, this study offers the first book-length reflection on how JWT and literary studies can inform one another fruitfully.

This series contains the king of demons falling for one feisty heroine, lots of love, no cheating, and creatures from your wildest imagination. River Thirteen years have passed since the war started, bombs fell, and the central states became a thing of the past. When the war ended, the government erected a wall to divide the surviving states from the destroyed ones. I never expected to leave my town, but unlike those who volunteered to go, I wasn't given a choice. With a dim knowledge of my strange abilities, the soldiers came for me. They took me beyond the wall, where I learned the truth is far more terrifying than I imagined. Alone, with humans and demons eager to see what I can do, I find myself irresistibly drawn to the one man I should avoid most—a man who isn't even really a man. Kobal I've spent my entire life with one mission… reclaim my throne from Lucifer and fix what the angels tore apart when they cast him from Heaven. Not even when the humans tore open the gates, and unleashed Hell on Earth, did I waver from my goal. I've never been closer to my throne, yet I find myself risking everything because I can't stay away from her… the woman who might be the key to destroying Lucifer. *** Due to sexual content, violence, and language, this book is recommended for readers 18+ years of age.***

The Ultimate Purpose Of A New Immigrant's Life is the autobiography of a Haitian teenager's way of life before emigration, when her family's equilibrium was suddenly disturbed by her father's death. As the youngest of her family of eight, she was looking at all her siblings, trying to find in one of them the father she just lost. The memories Freda captured of all siblings, relatives, and neighbors speak of the culture and the resulting imbalance she lived--role changes that were taking place within the family. Each sibling rose to their best self but eventually immigrated to the states. She took along with her the childhood tunes of long bygone days referred to in "Childhood Memories." We enjoy singing them while vacationing or at our family reunions. From early on in life, Freda chose to grab hold of the pearls of wisdom found in spirituality. This vital connection prayer has graced her with five life miracles during her life. She does not take for granted all the divergences and convergences of the actors in her life sceneries. She is thankful knowing they are part of the ultimate plan of God and for her own good. Career development and challenges were many through her immigrant's lens. Divine intercession is clear in her struggle with marital life commitment within a generational shift in family relational values from Haitian old culture to a mix of many. It has been a long journey from her native land to Boston and to Florida as a transition of twenty-six years, rich in community activities, spirituality search, connection, and growth. Cultural longing fostered the creation of the citronelle tea, a reminiscence of homeland childhood enjoyment. To God be the glory. The return home is very tumultuous as years creep on and the neocolonial boycotting agenda for Haiti continues to chase patriots away from their dreamland since 1803. The first Black republic is being drowned by its former slave-keeping nations still in 2022. The collective journey continues.
