Gary Hawkins, Sr., is no ordinary pastor. His out-of-the-box, cutting-edge creative thinking caused him to grow a church from 75 people to over 10,000 in less than five years! Being a new pastor, he turned his frustrations of "how to" grow ministry from the ground up into a simple step-by-step book of wisdom and knowledge that will grow any business. Voices of Faith Ministries has been named by Church Growth Magazine as the 25th fastest growing church in America. Gary has authored over 10 books that teach growth and development for ministry, business, or your personal life.

Whether it's heaven or hell, you create your life. If you are always struggling with your finances, relationships, health, and career, life is hell. Once you learn how to let everything flow and materialize with ease, life can be heaven. By and large, most people find life to be a struggle. The reason for this is that they were never taught that life can be easy, and they were never taught how to bring about the ease, comfort, safety, and peace that makes life a rich, rewarding, and joyous experience.

This audiobook analyzes how the immeasurable can be measured. The basis of science is the ability to test a hypothesis.

Concepts of reality and how science evolved are discussed.

Shalom, friends! Let's start a journey. A journey into the incredible and fascinating world of Biblical Hebrew. What would it be like to speak the language of Adam and Eve, Moses and Joshua, King David, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Yeshua (Jesus)? Yes Yeshua! When Yeshua told the little girl to get up, he said "Talitha Kum" (Mark 5:41). When he shouts from the stake, he says "Eloi Eloi Sabachthani" (Mark 15:34). That's Hebrew, friends.

This book features many of Gulen's ideas that have guided this extraordinary venture since its inception. They have inspired millions of ordinary people to do what they normally might never consider doing: helping people they don't know for the sole purpose of earning the pleasure of God by helping a fellow human being.

When it came to religion, "faith" as I saw it was something short of absolute and something only "hoped" for. There is nothing wrong with having hope. Religion aside, we can all see that this is an imperfect world in which people have to endure difficult circumstances, loss, mistreatment, and the fear of death. So if the thought of a second life after death where everything is perfect gets people through their weeks, there is nothing wrong with that hope.

If you took a census within any Sunday Service or Church meeting, at least 80% of the congregants would profess the desire to become a matured believer for Christ. But if you press the group to take their desire into practical day to day applications, the number of willing participants will significantly decline. Of course God is there to help you by His Spirit but you must be committed to playing your part.

It's my hope that these 21 days of devotions will serve as an "energy gel" or fuel for your soul. They're meant to be quick yet powerful and thought-provoking no matter what time of day you prefer to listen to (eat) them. It's also my hope that you'll form another great habit for your life...a daily, uninterrupted time of drawing close to Jesus. May you come to wholeheartedly agree with David when he said in Psalm 34:8... "Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!"

Whatever you think of them; we can learn life lessons for the 21st century. Enjoy!

David Hume's book tackling the subject of belief in God is among the most influential in Western philosophy. Published in 1779, three years after Hume's death, without featuring the author's name, the book was deeply controversial in its day. It is now considered a masterpiece and Hume is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers writing in English.

Life is filled with avenues that can render you helpless and void of understanding. As we go through trials and tribulations, we oftentimes forget that nothing shall overtake us as long as our hope is anchored in Jesus. The way to cope with overwhelming circumstances is to trust God totally without reservation. Some people like to bargain with God and offer their trust if he does this or that.

Home schooling will not be easy, but nothing truly worth doing is ever easy. If teaching your children what they need to become exceptional adults both academically and morally was easy then they would still be able to do that in public schools. The public school system is failing because they look at your child as a body that fills a seat which is worth a certain amount of money to the school system and as a mind to conduct social experimentation on.

Although it is nearly 1,500 years old, The Rule of St. Benedict remains one of the most influential texts in the Western monastic movement. It offers a unique insight into the early development of Christian monasticism as monks secluded themselves from the world to fulfil religious vows. For believers, it continues to offer guidance about incorporating meditation and prayer into devotions, the quiet times of reflection when the focus is on God, through prayer or Bible study.

C. S. Lewis may be most famous for his fiction, including children's books like the Chronicles of Narnia series. But in his 1952 book Mere Christianity - originally printed as three separate pamphlets in 1942, 1943, and 1944 - this eclectic and learned man documents his complex journey from atheism to faith.
