Romans 12:10-13 admonishes us to "be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality."
People are hurting, discouraged, brokenhearted, anxious, poor, fearful, without hope. As believers, we should be a reflection of Jesus in attending to their critical needs. Selflessness results in helping others, encouraging others, abundantly loving others, and fervently praying for others.

While nearly everyone recognizes the roles of police, firefighters, and paramedical teams as first responders, most people fail to recognize the role of private security. These men and women who don a private badge and go to work every day never know what they will face before the sun goes down, or comes up, as the case may be. Some don't live to see another sunrise. This book was written to highlight the importance of their role in society. The brutally honest stories told here were almost exclusively experienced by the author. Exceptions to this statement are so noted. It is time for the stereotypes of Barney Fife and Paul Blart to be laid to rest as the fictional parodies they are. Though the stereotypes are at times accurate, far more prominent are the bravery and dedication of men and women who stand on the front lines of society, willing to take on what may come. Few people may realize the dangers they face, the heartbreak they live in, and the "zero to a hundred" jump start they suddenly experience when things go sour. Little known are the stories of the men and women who hold things together until the "real heroes" arrive to appear on the news. Now is their time; today is the day that security professionals are recognized as being what they really are...TRUE FIRST RESPONDERS!

-Romans 12:2
What does this verse mean to born-again Christians? What should it mean in the actions of our daily lives? Renew Your Mind; A Fifty-Two-Week Journey Applying the Bible to Everyday Life looks at biblical answers in the five most challenging areas of an individual's life: finances, friends/relationships, time allotment, priorities/denying self, and knowing God. Each week, the author relates a thought-provoking, memorable story or example invoking biblical principles and verses, giving an assignment for the reader to apply the weekly lesson to the applicable categories to begin the transformation of how we think and act toward others. Renew Your Mind is a thoroughly entertaining must-read year-long devotional that will change the way you look at Christianity and our responsibility to others in our faith, our actions, and our belief systems.
During this past January, I admitted my wife of fifty-five years, Nancy Austin, to a memory care facility as she increasingly needed special care with the diagnosis of dementia. Within six weeks, a lockdown occurred during which our family saw her only through a windowpane. Talking with her depended on the availability of staff cell phones, always unpredictable. The grandchildren, children, and friends tried to touch her, a scene repeated often, leading to painful and frustrating moments.
I decided to write a series of essays about Nancy for our children and grandchildren, which they never knew, memories that reached out wrapped in love and respect for others during the ensuing weeks and months of the pandemic. Soon other relatives and friends wanting to read them finally led to their publication.
The reader may find similar experience, if not the same kind of storylines, as the pandemic is teaching us how to touch our loved ones.
Fear, in all its various manifestations, is a constant in people's lives. The Bible addresses them all but in the original languages the authors had many different words to differentiate them. We can have a year without fear that leads to a life of fearlessness once we understand them and see what God's Word says. Of course, the most common response from the Bible is "Fear not." This book will show you why that is possible.

"As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of thy youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate" (Ps. 127:4-5).
Have you ever considered adopting but been fearful because of the many questions flooding your mind? Could I love an adopted child as I would one born to me? What if there are emotional issues? Would my family accept my adopted children? These are all real questions and not easy to ask.
In Filling the Quiver: Is Adoption God's Will for My Family?, author and adoptive father Rodney Peavy holds nothing back as he answers the questions you are afraid to ask in a way that is genuine, practical, and heartwarming. He shares his family's personal testimony of the many challenges they faced in adopting their children, as well as the many blessings they have received. From there, Peavy takes on the questions he and his wife have been asked since adoption first became part of their family history. To the Peavys, adoption is more than just a family decision; it is a faith decision. Filling the Quiver approaches the decision to adopt from the perspective that God is-and should be-involved in the process.
This testimony seeks to offer those who have considered adoption a deeper understanding of the impact and spiritual implications of adoption. If you are still wondering about adoption as an option, this book can help you discover this answer for yourself, with God's guidance.
Lady Eloise and Friends is a series of books for children from third to sixth grade (and advanced readers in second grade). From this series comes another series for younger children in preschool through second grade called Adventures With Little Eloise.
This first book in the series teaches about friendship and forgiveness, social skills, bullying, and conflict resolution. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are developed as the students make predictions, build vocabulary, develop reading comprehension, and practice new vocabulary as they write in their journals along with the story.
Through the voices and antics of the characters, we hope our young readers will learn to see the world with awareness, sensitivity, compassion, and empathy. We hope to help children see each other with love and with respect for their differences and not with fear.
The second book in the series teaches about multiculturalism, diversity and inclusion, tolerance and acceptance, and also teaches more about conflict resolution when dealing with bullies.
The third book in the series introduces humans into the story and is based on real-life experiences of Vicki with her childhood, lifelong best friend, Shirlee, and their horses. They were the little girls who could be seen riding their horses while standing up, riding backward, sideways, and any other way they could think of. This series of stories begins with their real-life horses, Lady Eloise and El Zo Beyni and includes other horses their families had over time.
Thank you for supporting our book series, and the orphans at Rivers of Mercy Children's Home in Juarez, Mexico.
