Its a canvas-painted portrait of art and beauty, bringing inner solace, whats pure, and real peace within, beyond all understanding of peace, humbleness, and rest. Contemplate reality only of his mercy and grace. Were blessed with the opportunity to dream and hope only of his grace, which we see in early dawn and sunset.

My fourth book is a reflection of my first and second books: A Indian girl who learned how to overcome abuse by her parents. By having her own friends. And spending her summers in the wilderness. Lots of fiction short-stories, some are of real people inspiring-stories. And real life of the author family, and her friends: There is lots of scripture, its how Gena overcame her hard-life of her childhood: After she married in 1954, her life became exciting as they went on hikes, hunting and fishing, trips, even after the five children were born: Gena cared full-time homemaker; She enjoyed her children every day playing with them: In 1977, Gena took a writers-class at night, at the local college. Also a nurses aide training-class: I learned to love the country, when we leased the folks beautiful place, surrounded by a grove of trees: I learned how to dress out chickens and help with all the work: The love of God! How rich and pure, its greater far that pen or tongue can ever tell, to write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry:

Genesis 11:30 says, Now Sarai was barren; she had no children. It seems as if the family of Genesis has come to an end. Yet, God speaks directly into this situation. There is good news. Abram and Sarai will have a child. This journey from barrenness to childbirth begins with the faith of Abram. Barrenness is the condition of much of humanity today. There are many today who are empty and desolate. However, God is calling the barren by name. If the barren respond faithfully to Gods call, their barrenness will turn into fruitfulness. The Lord will provide! The Lord Will Provide traces the steps of Abraham from the time the Lord called him to leave home for a land that the Lord would show him (Genesis 12:1) to the time he proved his willingness to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:1-14). It details Abrahams constant struggle with faith and doubt and then compares Abrahams faith and doubt with that of humanity. The Lord Will Provide was preached as a seven sermon series in 2010 to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of Mount Moriah Baptist Church.

Maurice C. received the gift of sobriety more than twenty-five years ago through membership in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through AA, Maurice found the ability to let go of the past and let God take the future. In God Is at the Meeting, Maurice gives insight into a world where hurt and shame lead people to feel that they are less than and that they must build walls to protect themselves. Those walls get higher and higher until alcohol or drugs seem to be the only relief. Once enslaved, the alcoholic tries desperately to maintain and strengthen the walls of self-protection, to do it all on his or her own until, finally, the effort becomes too exhausting. If this is youlisten. You dont have to live that way any longer. There is a way out, and this way out has worked for thousands of people just like you for more than seventy-five years. If you will let Him, God will walk with you through the twelve steps to sobriety and a life without walls. This book is not meant in any way to replace the time-tested books of Alcoholics Anonymous. It is one mans insight into finding, leaning on and growing into a stronger relationship with God as you work through the steps.

A man was sitting with his friends in a local inn. After a couple of drinks, he asked his friends, “Do you love me?” “Of course, we do,” they replied. “So do you know what I need?” No one answered. “If you don’t know what I need then how can you say you love me?” To love and to be loved is the most basic human need. No wonder we are attracted to people who give us attention, care about us, and love us. Yet, love also remains the greatest challenge in most relationships. Why? A Fistful of Love is a collection of insightful, thought-provoking nuggets of wisdom appreciated by millions around the world. This book is full of humour and narratives most beautifully woven into learnings of life that will make you stop and think. A must read. Om Swami is a mystic living in the Himalayan foothills.

Mahabharata says, “Ordinary men see through their eyes, cows see by smell, kings by spies, and the learned men see through the scriptural knowledge. We think of the world as we do. In fact, the world is different than the ways we see it. Most of our paradigms are inaccurate because we do not have all of the information. We think we do, but we don’t. When we receive additional or new information, it often causes us to rethink and change our paradigm. Challenge your assumptions about yourself, others, situations, and things. The world transforms as you transform yourself. The key to personal effectiveness is to change our paradigms, our assumptions, and the way we see the world.

Everyday Holiness presents the spiritual journey to and with Christ as possible, noble, challenging, and rewarding. It describes the many aspects of holiness and how it is essential to our growth in Christ. Holiness is the most important developmental area in life and the greatest goal to which we can aspire. The Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales wrote: “All of us can attain Christian virtue and holiness no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life’s work may be.” This book should be read slowly, prayerfully, and seriously. It invites us to ponder the meaning of life and how holiness benefits every aspect of our church, our society, and ourselves. Because all good things lead to God, the book infuses a deeper meaning into the ordinary circumstances of daily life, thus showing how holiness is not a static reality but a dynamic force that transforms every aspect of our day. The book is replete with concrete examples and practical illustrations that show how living holiness is possible today. Indeed, holiness is our greatest need, deepest joy, and hardest challenge. Everyday Holiness is for everyone who wants to love God more and serve him better.
