Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valentine Daye is a product of the streets. Raised in the projects, she lost her father and her mother young. By fifteen, she was living the life with drug lord Colombo. But when Colombo and his crew are murdered, Richard Washington, one of Colombo's many street runners, swoops in and wastes no time making Valentine his queen. Nine years later, Valentine and Rich are a happy couple who have weathered some "minor" problems. Valentine is well aware that Rich steps out on her. But doesn't every man? He always finds his way home. Or at least he did before Vanessa Knight. Vanessa Knight is a woman who has everything . . . except Richard Washington. An heiress to a multimillion-dollar company, Vanessa is willing to forgive Rich's flawed background. However, she wants him for herself, and tells him that he must decide what's important to him—a flourishing career at clothier Jorge Jacobs, where she can make him a VP, or a life with his street past, Valentine? When Daye meets Knight, each woman plots and schemes to steal Rich's heart. Rich must make a decision. Does he gamble and start a new life with the beautiful and cunning Vanessa, or does he stay with his around-the-way girl Valentine, who has been with him through thick and thin?

She is one of a kind. --Mary Monroe, New York Times bestselling author "Full of crazy church politics and a huge cast, Griggs keeps this on-going story alive by addressing the challenges of living by Biblical rules with homespun humor." --Publishers Weekly As the son of a well-known minister, Clarence Walker knows his decision to leave his father's flock and join Pastor George Landris's mega-church ministry is controversial. But little does he suspect it will ignite a firestorm of revelations that will shake the heart of the congregation--and his very own family. . . From a long-buried secret that will bring the paternity of not one, but two women, to light, to a parishioner whose long awaited love match may be thwarted by an unexpected source, hidden truths are coming to the surface. But most shocking is that Clarence's own father, Reverend Marshall Walker, may not be the pious figure he claims to be. And since evidence of his transgressions lies in the hands of his arch nemesis, it's only a matter of time before Reverend Walker's life--and his church--falls like a house of cards.

Download or read book The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on the Gospel Message written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on the Gospel Message” contains the following books: God’s Love and Forgiveness. The Way of Life. The Seed, the Sower and the Hearts of Men. Celebrity: A Mask. Come Back Home, My Son: I Still Love You. Come and See, Jesus Has not Changed. Encounter the Saviour. Meet the Liberator. Jesus Loves You and Wants to Heal You. Jesus Saves and Heals Today. There is no good news like the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And every believer in Christ has been commanded to go all over the world and tell everyone that Jesus died for them. On the contrary, do the right and shun the wrong is what every world religion teaches. It is easier said than done. Everyone who has tried to follow this advice finds himself powerless before the law of sin. Sin is stronger than man. That is why God gave us a Saviour who came and died ignominiously on the cross of Calvary to save us from sin and its consequences. Because of the shedding of His precious blood, the forgiveness of sins and holiness have become available to all mankind. Why should anyone die and roast in hell when Christ has died to bar the way to hell for the one who repents of his sins, receives Jesus as Saviour and believes in His name? Why should anyone languish in their diseases and sickness- es when such a sacrifice has already been offered? For by His wounds, we have been healed (1 Peter 2:24). Why should anyone continue in demonic oppression when He came to set the captives free through His death on the cross? Why should anyone remain in their curses when He became a curse that we might become a blessing? He became poor so that we might become rich with His riches. Why should anyone be without blessings when all the blessings in the heavenly realms have been given to the believer in Him? Many testimonies punctuate this volume of how the Lord has wrought a complete salvation in the lives of so many people around the world. Jesus Christ, the Saviour, the Redeemer, the Healer, the Deliverer, and the Liberator is still at work today, doing His work as He did it in Bible times.

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside.

Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

In this story, Emanuela recalls her personal testimony, including her struggles and how she changed her perspective to go on. As a believer, the author’s walk of life hasn’t been easy, but she relied on the study of the bible and in her belief that Jesus is real. After moving to another country, she found her call in scripture. When entering into Canada, she was met with a sponsor – a widowed man with 8 adult children – who later became her life partner. In this story, the author is confronted with a culture that is destroyed by English and French speaking people. Her love of the First Nation was woken up many years prior in her former home country of Switzerland, but here in Canada she felt the hate of this nation that has seemed to have lost their culture. Entering into the country as a stranger, she was forced to learn and speak English, which posed to be a struggle with her hard Swiss accent.

With all these difficult experience at hand, the author learned to look at life with a different outlook: “If God is for me, who can be against me?”
