Download or read book I Am JOSIAH written by Gw Tolley and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There he was in a suit and tie; his smile and blue eyes lit up the entire room, so bright, I could barely see the man. With a twinkle in his eye and a contagious smile, he said, "hi, I'm GW Tolley, and God told me to come to this meeting today." Instantly we became friends. While I knew bits and pieces of his story, it wasn't until reading this book that I would fully comprehend GW Tolley's depth. While attending a meeting, GW asked for prayer for his hearing. At the time, I read the part in the book where GW's mom sent him to a specialist for his hearing. When I spoke to GW about this, I said, I do not think it coincidental that as I read about your hearing issues as a child, you are experiencing issues out of the blue as an adult. I believe God wants to use this. Days later, GW launched a Hearing Impaired and Deaf Awareness Campaign."I am JOSIAH" is a special book, several moments in the text brought back fond memories of my childhood. It gives you a glimpse into the life and trials of a man that God has used in so many unique ways. While reading, I noticed a pattern, obstacle and obedience, obstacle and obedience, obstacle and obedience. As the pattern started to emerge, so did a verse that the Lord placed on my heart to describe GW Tolley and what the reader can expect from this book. The BeatitudesJesus said: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 3-12)I would be remiss if I did not continue with the verse in my conclusion. Just as I mentioned at the beginning of this Foreword, the light coming from GW was so bright I could barely see the man. As you read the words following the Beatitudes, in Matthew, you will fully understand why."You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 13-16).Regardless of whether you have lived an event-free life or have had trials, this book is for you. Allow GW's example to encourage you to face obstacles with obedience and let your light shine so that others can experience the glory of our Father in heaven through you.Krystal ParkerChild of the Most High GodMomAuthorSpeakerMaster of Business AdministrationBusiness Owner Intent and ImpactPresident, U.S. & Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce

The one who went to the big city, found fame in the art world, then returned home to settle down. He's the kind of guy who becomes fast friends with almost anyone. His sister, Betsy, is talented as well. And eccentric. Unlike Lark, she keeps to herself. When Lark meets with a fabulously rich client, it seems like a regular transaction. Even being met at the gate of the sprawling, secluded estate by an intimidating security guard seems normal. Until the guard plays him a live feed: Betsy being abducted in real time.

Book excerpt: The first book in a wildly inventive and mesmerizing new fantasy series from acclaimed author Josiah Bancroft where magical mysteries abound and only one team can solve them: The Hexologists. “Bancroft is a magician.” — Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe “Fantastic! The Hexologists fizzes eloquently with wit and elegance, but also has marvelous worldbuilding and an excellent plot - and a central pair of characters who I quite simply love. A cocktail of a book made with the very best champagne.” — Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library The Hexologists, Iz and Warren Wilby, are quite accustomed to helping desperate clients with the bugbears of city life. Aided by hexes and a bag of charmed relics, the Wilbies have recovered children abducted by chimney-wraiths, removed infestations of barb-nosed incubi, and ventured into the Gray Plains of the Unmade to soothe a troubled ghost. Well-acquainted with the weird, they never shy away from a challenging case. But when they are approached by the royal secretary and told the king pleads to be baked into a cake—going so far as to wedge himself inside a lit oven—the Wilbies soon find themselves embroiled in a mystery that could very well see the nation turned on its head. Their effort to expose a royal secret buried under forty years of lies brings them nose to nose with a violent anti-royalist gang, avaricious ghouls, alchemists who draw their power from a hell-like dimension, and a bookish dragon who only occasionally eats people. Armed with a love toughened by adversity and a stick of chalk that can conjure light from the darkness, hope from the hopeless, Iz and Warren Wilby are ready for a case that will test every spell, skill, and odd magical artifact in their considerable bag of tricks. "Bancroft is a wonder as ever! The Hexologists was a joyous delight on every page— buoyantly inventive, witty, poignant, gripping, and deeply satisfying." — Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe “Josiah Bancroft’s imagination will astound you.
