The world is a scary place, so we are encouraged to fake confidence and show courage when we feel unsure or overwhelmed. Being courageous means stepping out even though we are afraid, but taking fearful action is not a sustainable long term strategy. Courage is important, but it cannot be our endgame. It is time to have a different conversation. It is time to move beyond courage and learn to live fearlessly. The Fearless Revolution is the revealing story of a confident, extroverted leader of leaders whose suffocating, hidden fears kept her on a tightrope, balancing the lies that she was too much and not enough at all times. Sandy Gledhill uncovered the secrets to becoming fearless on her personal 20-year quest to break free from the bondage of fear. No matter where you are on the fear spectrum, you are not disqualified from becoming fearless. The secrets and action steps laid out in this book will help you rediscover your true identity and embrace your God-given destiny so you can walk boldly into the freedom of fearlessness.

This book was written with a mandate to change your life. I say this not because I am a great wordsmith because I’m not. There is a power on this work that is greater than I could create. It’s an anointing from the Holy Spirit. It is intended to change your heart, and through that process, it will change your life. It’s time to refuse to be complicit with the destruction and negativity around us. It’s time that we reach into the supernatural with fervent and effectual prayer and offer up thanksgiving to God for what He says, He has done, and will do. He always shows up. He is waiting for us to get in position so He can move. In my short time as a disciple of Jesus, I have come to understand that the word of God, the Holy Bible, is full of truth that we just don’t fully believe today. You may be offended that I would say that. Truly, if we believed what is written in the Bible, we would see a very different world today. As we start to change our perspective to view life through the lens of a biblical worldview, through truth, we will come into alignment with God’s way of thinking and see everything as it is intended for us. We will begin to see through the lens of Love.

This book is a collection of stories from the life and times of Sam Gary. Sam was born into a time when the west was still wild, fun was invented - usually on the back of a horse - and kids were not entertained by a TV unless you snuck to the neighbors; it was a time when beneath the glow of the harvest moon, a radio could be tuned to the vintage sounds of Charlie Pride and Neil Diamond. Join Sam, his cousins, and folks he encounters on their many adventures, mishaps, and conquests that will undoubtedly have you bursting your buttons with laughter. Ride alongside Sam Gary as he flies his airplane across the United States. Ski alongside him down the black diamonds of the Alberta Rockies, or eagerly thrust your hands into buckets of shavings and unsavory surprises. A modern-day Huck Finn, his tales of battles fought, friends won, and strangers befriended, will surely keep you enthralled because NO ONE, my friends, can tell stories like a Son of a Seacook. Curl up, grab some Better Life Coffee, and prepare to be entertained!

Prayer is man’s communication with God, and God’s response to man. Fervent prayer brings unity and cooperation between God and man. It ushers us into the very presence of God and strengthens our faith to claim His promises. Fervent prayer and strong intercessions can stop wars, atrocities, abominations, evils, and killings in war torn areas. As a powerful weapon, prayer can bless leaders with divine guidance and direction to lead their societies and nations into prosperity. Prayer is powerful. Prayer plays great roles in nation building. Through the power of prayer, peace, stability, security, spiritual and other developments such as healing, reconciliation, and restoration can be achieved. It settles disputes and brings harmony to those who seek and thirst after it. Prayer brings renewal for the mind and gives true rest. Prayer was undoubtedly the weapon the early church used during the time Peter was in prison and constant prayer was offered to God by the church on his behalf (Acts 12:5). The early church knew the role prayer plays in conflicts, its role to rescue, and that the power to confront and conquer the enemy lay in prayer.

The anointing is not some mysterious magic spell only a few find access to; it is accessible to every believer at all times. The church is not the first priority when honoring God in your life; it starts with you and your home. The tithe isn’t a debt Christians owe; it’s a gift believers are given. We are called to faith and freedom, not fear and debt. We are called to help others find their freedom, not put them in debt. Salvation comes with the promised blessing, not the threat of a curse. We are not called to become perfect so that Christ might accept us; we are accepted and made perfect in Christ’s love. We are the Church, called to a relationship with our Creator, our Father, not religion in a church organization. We are called to love, not legalistic behavior modification. We are called to freedom, not a new and different form of bondage to man, debt, and institutions. We are called to be who God created us to be, not to obedience to religious laws. We are called to grow in the light we have within us, not appease the darkness around us. We are called the Forgiven, not the Condemned. If Jesus came into our churches today, would He take His place in a seat of honor, or would we find Him cracking whips, flipping tables, and driving out the money-changers? Who do we honor at church, Jesus or Mammon? It’s a good time in history to take inventory of ourselves and consider our ways. We are called to forgive because we’ve been forgiven. It matters more than we think–we are called to freedom!
Kissed by the King stems from a personal journey of learning to walk in victory and rest in the unconditional love of our Heavenly Father. It comes from the realization that we are empowered, through God’s Spirit, and can step out in faith and believe what He tells us in His Word. God’s Word is alive. As we open its pages and learn to listen to His voice, He will transform our lives. God has created each of us to be unique. Our lives will not and should not look exactly the same. God’s Spirit is the same, but He chooses to speak to each of us differently. It is the author’s prayer that the Spirit will minister to you through these devotions and create an increased awareness of the different ways God demonstrates His incredible love for you each and every day!

If you want to or have already experienced God in a way that goes beyond the “good feels” of a Sunday service, this book is for you. God wants your attention, and when you begin to sense His thoughts or perceive His presence, it can be scary. How many times in the Bible does an angel of the Lord have to say, “Fear not,” when interacting with a human. These encounters are scary because they are outside of the context of our worldly reality. This book is not just about ‘hearing’ God; it’s about doing what He’s calling us to do; to move out in our authority, as co-heirs with Christ, with signs and wonders, wisdom and honor, character and holiness. It is the measure of the fullness of Christ, by both the Word and by the Holy Spirit. The world and even some churches think these experiences are to be shut down because they are weird and bizarre. If this is you, I’d encourage you to re-read your Bible; weird and bizarre is all over the place. God’s creation, including the weird, is beautiful and peaceful. We know this because He said it was good. When you become familiar with the ‘strange’, you are porous and have the ability to be open and to stretch beyond the usual small and protective self. It is an act of courage and love to press in and not want to run away. This book is about ten concepts you will want to grasp for the era of the Holy Spirit.
“In a heartbeat, I now had a new full-time job... as Dale’s caregiver.”
What do you do when suddenly, in one devastating moment, you’re a patient advocate - nurse - decision maker 24/7? You begin to search out and gather in the midst of all the caregiving.
Personal stories. Medical research. Successes. Failures.
Truth. This journal recounts a caregiver's journey with a husband who suffered multiple strokes, lost his ability to talk, and fought his way back to living life fully in his highly individual—and ultimately wonderful, “new normal” way. Only those in the 24/7 caregiving role truly understand the depth and weightiness of this responsibility - facing the great physical, mental and emotional unknowns of brain trauma. For all those extraordinary individuals who find themselves thrust into this seemingly nonstop caregiving…and for their families, Donna tells her story. Highly personal, she offers insights to be gleaned from the pages of her public and private writings - the good, the bad, and even the ugly. Through the Fire will encourage caregivers not merely to survive but to thrive in walking their own ever-changing path as they meet the often overwhelming needs of the care-needing person that they love.
This book is presented as a short daily meditation devotional of short stories giving the reader permission to journey at the speed necessary for change and growth in the heart and mind. Tools for journaling, helpful ideas for memorization of Bible verses, provoking questions to ponder, prayers, and positive truths to proclaim are included in the vignettes.
How am I ever going to get through this?

The ongoing dialogue of each page will take you through real emotional struggles of life being flipped upside down and the rediscovery of oneself and finding true joy.
When God created woman, He made her as an Ezer, a help-mate. More than that, He made her as one meant to provide aid or support in a time of need. We were made to be warriors. Since the beginning, there has been hostility between women and the serpent, seeking to undermine this calling. In Skull Crushers, we look to some lesser known women in Scripture and discover how we too are called to wage war against the enemy, crushing his skull and advancing The Kingdom of God. Becca Ramirez is a writer and speaker called to encourage women in their identity as daughters of God and empower them to live a life that reflects that truth to the world. As a lover of learning, she immerses herself in each topic she writes and teaches. Her heart is to connect spiritual truths to our everyday lives.
