Download or read book God Is Real and the Devil Is a Liar written by Anna Ellison-Griffin and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I was writing this book, I began to see some sad moments in my story. One being when I talked to the bishop that Tuesday about what I was going through. He told me to come to church on Sunday. We are talking five days later. My heart breaks knowing that he was having a service later that night and again on Friday. I told him with tears pouring down my face that something evil had entered into my body and that I needed an exorcism to get it out. For all bishops, pastors, and ministers reading this book, when someone calls you for "help," please don't put them off because you have a program to follow. God sent them to you for a reason. I was going through spiritual warfare, and I knew I needed to be at a church, not a mental hospital. My situation could have turned out very badly. The devil could have caused me to hurt myself or someone else. Remember, I thought I was obeying God. I would have done whatever he told me to do. I believe now that God was teaching me to trust and depend only on him, because he is the author and finisher of our faith. If there is one thing you get out of reading my testimony, let it be that no matter what you are going through, God will be there to see you through. Have you surrendered your life to him? If not, read Romans 10:9: If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Then repent of your sins and ask him to come into your life and make him your Lord and savior.

Book excerpt: A 2018 William C. Morris Award Finalist Killing isn’t supposed to be easy. But it is. It’s the after that’s hard to deal with. Nate was eight the first time he stabbed someone; he was eleven when he earned his red laces—a prize for spilling blood for “the cause.” And he was fourteen when he murdered his father (and the leader of The Fort, a notorious white supremacist compound) in self-defense, landing in a treatment center while the state searched for his next of kin. Now, in the custody of an uncle he never knew existed, who wants nothing to do with him, Nate just wants to disappear. Enrolled in a new school under a false name, so no one from The Fort can find him, he struggles to forge a new life, trying to learn how to navigate a world where people of different races interact without enmity. But he can’t stop awful thoughts from popping into his head, or help the way he shivers with a desire to commit violence. He wants to be different—he just doesn’t know where to start. Then he meets Brandon, a person The Fort conditioned Nate to despise on sight. But Brandon's also the first person to treat him like a human instead of a monster. Brandon could never understand Nate’s dark past, so Nate keeps quiet. And it works for a while. But all too soon, Nate's worlds crash together, and he must decide between his own survival and standing for what’s right, even if it isn’t easy. Even if society will never be able to forgive him for his sins. Like a teen American History X, S.F. Henson’s Devils Within is gut-wrenching, thought-provoking, no-holds-barred look at the plague of white supremacy in contemporary American culture that may have you examining your own soul.

If there was one word that could be used to describe him, it would be untouchable. Corrupt politicians combined with his charming disposition had contributed to Jorges success, but it was often the underlying threats behind his handsome smile that sealed the deal. He was unstoppable. In Paige Nol, he had met his match. She was a woman as dangerous and sadistic as she was soft and gentle. The last thing he expected was to propose after an explosive first meeting, but the intense fire between them was as addictive as the thrill of violence and power. When some of his personal enemies turn up dead, Jorge shuffles his daughter into a Canadian school, deciding that things are getting a little too hot in Mexico; but does life ever slow down in this dark underground world? The devil is smooth like honey, but is heaven ever far away?
