Growing a Family - New Release

Lifting one's head up to view the family landscape can transpire questions such as, "Where am I?" "How did I get here?" "Why am I here?" and "Where am I headed?" observing the loved ones growing alongside. This may also form questions to which we reflect on the status of their formation.

Take a short journey with this parenting handbook, Growing a Family. This will give inspiration to parents and family supports to obtain essential tools to help cultivate the roots of your garden. In it, you will travel through parenting subjects that are attached to personal stories orchestrated with experience and wisdom intended to surface an emotional rainbow.

Uncover the gems hidden within your ancestry, gaining knowledge of the "why" when turning through the chapters on the foundation of yourself as well as the precious soul of your child. Dig into the importance of family values and stitching supports to add individual and family strength. You may find comfort in a greater power as you read spiritual happenings written with an open heart poured out in the "Power of Prayer."

Parents and caregivers of children all ages can find tools to use in the unexpected storms of life. Helpful strategies and observations are to be considered when reading about boundaries, babies to youth, and the importance of how we communicate when turning through the "Talk to Me" section of the book. Learn how to look for safety issues that may arise when leaving your children in the care of others with the "Working Parent" chapter. Grow knowledge of things that may cause harm to a family if the unexpected happens, causing a shift of unbalance uncovered in the "Blended Family" section.

Laugh, cry, and internalize the creativity told through the words to inspire all of us to nurture our future gardens.

New Release from Rev. E. Jackson Bead

In the spiritual gift of parental wisdom, Rev. E. Jackson Bead addresses issues and problems in parenting that perhaps many parents have not thought of.

Some of the major problems our world faces today are the results of the many things many parents didn't put in place when their child/children are little and that is true even with many Christian homes, including those who are pastors and church leaders.

In this book, we have given some very important points that I believe will give you an eye-opening wisdom to help you not to repeat the pattern of the mistakes many have already made. "Train up a child the way they should go, and when they are grown, they will not depart from it" (Proverbs 26:6). May the Lord help us all to take parenting seriously and diligently.

Walking Through the Fire - New Release

What happens as a Christian when your life doesn't turn out as planned? When tragedy strikes teenager Addison McNeely and her faith is tested, she faces the toughest challenges of her life. If only she had listened to her best friend and not attended that party, a party that changed her life forever. With her faith wavering and struggling to forgive those who have caused her to suffer a devastating personal loss, she wonders where God is in all of this. Where is He when her life is falling apart? Why didn't He stop the tragedy that has forever changed her life? Why her? These are the questions that have her struggling to forgive and to forgive God, most of all.

Her father, a Christian and her hero, died four years earlier. Her mother, who is not a Christian, is busy fighting demons of her own. So who can help her make sense of everything that is happening to her-her best friend, Alayna? Addison wonders if they even have anything in common anymore.

To complicate things further, she has fallen in love with the handsome Wyatt Kingsley, who once referred to her as "a friend." As if things couldn't get any worse, she must also contend with Karlie Adams, her archenemy. Will Addison continue in bitterness and anger or listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, a voice she has ignored so many times? Will she be able to find her way back to God? Will she come to the realization that Jesus really does love her and that He will always be with her and walk with her, even when she walks through the fire?

The Garden of Our Lives - New Release

Dad loves to garden, and at eighty-three years of age, he, along with mom, Bernice, maintain a property of thirteen acres; the house is surrounded with beautiful perennial gardens, overlooks a spring fed pond, and the woods beyond. Through last year, his vegetable gardens were enough to feed a small village. Gene's garden articles were inspired by his decades long participation in his parish's Stewardship Committee. Many of his articles, first written for the church's bulletin, are here for us in this collection.

Gene says, "From the onset of the relationship between God and humans, the setting is in a garden. In developing this involvement between us and Source through the Old Testament, the analogy of a garden is very beautiful and informative. Gardens imply growth. The growth of individuals physically, emotionally, and spiritually is never done in isolation. Rather, it necessarily entails relationships within community. A garden is expected to produce fruit. However, this end result is usually the product of much toil, interest, and concern. In other words, it's not automatic."

How Prayer Can Walk You Through the Storms in Your Life - New Release

Prayer is about having a personal relationship with God, meeting the King on a daily basis. God wants to be a part of your life. He knew about your pain before it occurred, and He knows when it will end. Take God at His word and hold on to His promises. Your life will never be the same.

God has provided everything we need to walk through our journey with success. This journey through life is not about having sunshine every day; if we do not experience the difficult things in life, we will not learn how to appreciate the good and bad. When we are in a storm, we must learn how to ask God, "Why am I in this storm, and what is it that You want me to learn from it?"

A spiritual storm is a trial, tragedy, or misfortune. The storms have a purpose in our lives, and when you stay on board, God will reveal the purpose at His timing. Storms can either make us or break us, depending on how we respond. Storms are considered a training process for God's children. He uses the storms to shape us into who He wants us to be. Stay tuned to an amazing journey with God.

New Release from Jerry D. Johnson

I hope this book will be an encouragement to all that God can use anyone who is willing to totally commit their life to Him.

When I first felt the call of God to the ministry, I was convinced that I was not worthy or capable of serving in the ministry. How could a farm boy with very little spiritual background be of any use to the Lord?

I have learned that God does not determine the choice of His servants by appearance, education, but by their heart. Samuel 16:7 says, "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

Fortunately for me, I had spiritual leaders in my life that helped me sort out God's will for my life. When I was convinced that ministry was God's will for my life, then I moved in that direction. Little by little, I sorted things out in my life in terms of God's will. If it was God's will and I was sure of it, then my life must move in that direction. I learned God only opens one door at a time, when we walk through that door and we are sure it is God's direction, then the next door will open. The how and why is up to God, and we must trust Him under all conditions and circumstances.

New Release from Louis W Accola

Feelings, feelings, feelings! We all have feelings. How are you handling your feelings? How do you understand your feelings? Do you embrace, suppress, or deny them? How do you feel about your feelings? Good? Bad? Confused?

Author Louis Accola invites the reader of Faith and Feelings into a personal reflection and discernment journey. The book is an insightful, positive, affirming, empowering exploration, and analysis of nine feelings: anxiety, doubt, anger, guilt, fatigue, fear, joy, peace, and wonder. The author does this exploration and analysis in the light of the meaning and the significance of each person being uniquely created in the image of God.

We are created in God's image. We each express in our own personhood the presence, the nature, and the feelings that we see attributed to the God in the Scriptures. We encounter those same feelings that are in our birthright package in the actions and teachings in Jesus's life story as the Living Word of God in human flesh. Designed by God, our feelings are a gift in the "makeup package" of our natural essence as human beings. Feelings are to be recognized, affirmed, expressed, and shared in all our relationships, potentially for good in our words and actions along life's journey.

Feelings and Faith: Reflections on God's Gift for Life's Journey is deeply inspiring and informative. It provides practical insights and guidance for self-affirmation, for a positive perspective on feelings, and for embracing and expressing our feelings in daily experiences and challenges along life's journey. This book's final chapter talks about "the faith that counts" for free and abundant living and in its challenges and special needs. The author clarifies faith as a gift in our birthright package to be recognized and affirmed as the spirit of life's presence, empowerment, guidance, and blessings along life's journey.

From his years of pastoral and counseling ministry experience, the author understands deeply the pressures and changes impacting feelings and faith. In this time of rapid and constant changes, especially intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting current economic crises, the author invites the reader to examine the impact of these changes on feelings and faith. Accola evokes new insights for the reader to embrace and affirm for "feelings and faith." This book invites the reader to purposeful, positive, and healthy living based on insights from the lifestyle and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

New Release from Lesha Greenlea

Alexis's day began with the sun shining bright, a gentle warm breeze blowing on her face as she glanced out the window. It was the making of a beautiful day. Little did she know it would be the start of a new way of life for her. It all began with an unscheduled trip to the local produce stand. She had not planned the trip to the produce stand. It was just the excitement and good feeling of this beautiful day that led her to this place on this day. Or was it?

God has a way of prompting and leading us to his plan. Oftentimes, we believe it's just a coincidence that events occur in our lives, but maybe it is designed that way so that God can get our attention, so that he can pour into us what we need at that time. Could it have been that God designed this beautiful day to prompt her to go to the place of her blessing?

In our lives, we must see God's hand at work in every part of our journey. In our home, our church, our job, and even at our local produce stand, we have to be aware that God is always watching. And you never know, this could be the day that Christ wants to have a little chat with you.
