“A THIEF’S FORGIVENESS” This is the story of a man who spent a good part of his life running from his erroneous perception of God, which resulted in living nearly eleven years within the confinement of prisons, one of which was the famous Leavenworth... In this story you’ll experience first hand what it’s like to be in prison and solitary confinement, to escape and be captured, to have attack dogs hunt you down ready to sink their teeth into your flesh, to be shot at and hide in the dark like a trapped animal while corrupt guards search for you. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat! You’ll try to predict all the twists and turns it’ll take, but you’ll be wrong. That’s because it’s real life not make believe... Just when you think this young man has wised up, he does something else outlandish! Though the road he chose was rough and perilous, he finally found his salvation and freedom both spiritually and physically... Don’t be surprised if tears come to your eyes when you read about the phenomenal, moving spiritual experience that literally saved his life; but the story doesn’t end there! Even after he finds his salvation he makes unbelievable decisions that will shock you! Some of them will make you want to shake him to his senses, others will make you laugh and rejoice! When you’ve finished reading this remarkable story, there will be a chapter explaining further how to find happiness on earth and live the life God intended you to have. It’s a manual, if you will, on how to live successfully and joyously... This is the manual everyone has always said we didn’t come with when we were born. The truth is, we did come with it! It’s actually part of our innate programming. However, if it’s not nurtured and cultivated while we’re growing up, we lose a great deal of it, if not all, by the time we’ve reached adulthood. In order to relearn what God originally programmed in our “spiritual hard drive,” we must change our erroneous perception and get rid of the insatiable, controlling ego! That can only be accomplished with the help of a Higher Spiritual Power, which the book clearly guides you on. Author Marolyn A. Derby, volunteered to write this true-life story about Irving Eugene King, in order to help him get his message out to others like himself... To give the book more meaning and depth she chose to use her spiritual and counseling background to offer tools and positive solutions on nearly every page. These spiritual tools and solutions will assist all who read it to find the answers they need concerning life, through the knowledge and understanding of “The Universal (God) Laws” that govern each of us; as surely as the law of gravity... What’s more, this book will help everyone to know and understand themselves and others, as well as the teachings of Christ, in a whole new way! Once you’ve read “A Thief’s Forgiveness” you will have a more positive outlook about life and know how to live it honorably! What’s more, you will no longer wonder about who you are or why you’re here; you will know! Marolyn A. Derby is a trained spiritual councilor, minister, speaker and health practioner of thirty-six years, who has dedicated her life to documenting and practicing the Universal God Laws and helping others to benefit by doing the same. The tools in this book have been tried and proven over and over again to work! They are precise, easy to understand and simple to follow, because they are already an innate part of you... This book is for everyone who is tired of living in fear and uncertainty. It will show you how to turn your life around for the better and teach you how to forgive and be forgiven, to love and be loved. It will even help you conquer mental and physical illness and give you inner peace... You will learn through the examples given, that when we misuse the Laws of the Universe, they end up biting us where the sun don

There may be no more powerful desire in the human heart than to be loved. And not just loved, but loved anyway. In spite of what we've done or left undone, in spite of the ways we have failed or floundered. We long for an unconditional, lavish love that we know intrinsically we don't deserve. If you are tired, sad, yet always longing, bestselling author Jared C. Wilson has incredible news for you: that kind of love actually exists, and it is actually something you can experience--whether or not you're in a romantic relationship. In his signature reflective, conversational, and often humorous style, Wilson unpacks 1 Corinthians 13 to show us what real love looks like. Through engaging stories and touching anecdotes, he paints a picture of an extravagant God who not only puts the desire for love into our very souls but fulfills those desires in striking, life-changing ways.

Arguably the most influential figure in human history was Jesus Christ. Wars were fought in his name. In his name many nations rose, and many nations fell. Many prominent leaders gained power from him, and many others were persecuted and killed for their belief in him. It has been said that over 6 billion Bibles have been printed in almost every language, and countless other millions of stories, books, and films have told the story of his life. Yet, he died with two men by his side, and history knows almost nothing about them. Until now. Young Dismas and his brother Jotham are blissfully unaware of the lifelong journey that awaits them soon after their encounter with the young girl, Mary, her husband, Joseph, and their baby, Jesus. Their lives will soon take a very cruel turn that leads through hurt, hardship, betrayal, and murder. Along the way, they make unlikely alliances with Tiran and Gestas, two known criminals with a penchant for theft and murder. It is a path that will ultimately lead them all to intersect with their brutal destinies. Throughout their journey, their lives will intersect with some of the most famous figures of the Bible, and they will learn about love, faith, and the most powerful weapon against sin... forgiveness.

Helps readers move beyond the wounds and baggage of bitterness, disagreements, and broken relationships. "True or false: most Christian pastors and counselors agree on what forgiveness is and how it should take place." This question is part of Chris Brauns's Forgiveness Quiz that draws readers into his book and gets them thinking about the subject of forgiveness. The truth is, pastors and counselors disagree profoundly on this subject. Unpacking Forgiveness combines sound theological thinking and honesty about the complicated questions many face to provide readers with a solid understanding of biblical forgiveness. Only God's Word can unpack forgiveness. The wounds are too deep for us to find healing on our own, and the questions are too complex to be unraveled by anything but the wisdom of God. This book goes beyond a feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness, balancing the beauty of God's grace and the necessity of forgiveness with the teaching that forgiveness must take place in a way that is consistent with justice.
