Have you ever dreamed of doing great things for the Lord? Did you have great dreams when you were younger, but somehow the ordinary demands of life got in the way and you just find yourself barely getting through the day? You have always believed that God has a great purpose for you, but what is it? You have been taught everyone has spiritual gifts, but for the life of you, you don't think you have any. Spoiler alert. If you are God's child, he has given you at least one spiritual gift possibly more. Do you hear these voices in your head that you aren't good enough, smart enough, just not enough? These voices are coming from the devil. This book will help you get inside your head and help guide you to the mind of God. It will show you how to take every thought captive and live the abundant life Christ died for! You are an overcomer! The living God of the universe created you to do even greater things than these. Stop listening to negative thoughts and start living and fulfilling God's perfect purposes for you. You are a child of the living God of the universe! Why is the lion the king of the jungle? It's his mentality! God has given you the power to live out this mentality! The lion has no fear and neither should you as a child of God! There is no predator that God will not give you the power for success! Embrace this mentality: it is one of courage, strength, perseverance, determination and to know and believe that God can do anything through you! The Power is in our mentality...it's limitless! Do you believe in what God is saying to you? "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."

"In the Lions Mouth is essential reading for scholars and field workers advancing humanitarian aid and human rights in the developing world. The book also provides cogent insight and information for clinicians who implement community mental health." Dr. David Swanger, Professor Emeritus, University of. California, Santa Cruz "This book reminds us that precursors of counseling and therapy have been in practice for thousands of years around the world and that counseling was not a Euro-American invention of the last few decades. Lewis Aptekar brings us with him as he seeks to reframe counseling and therapy 'outside the envelope'" Dr Paul B. Pedersen, Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University "Lewis Aptekar is one of the few scholars who places respect for the reality experienced by the people he studies above the illusion of the categories used in humanitarian aid. This ethical principle guides him and confronts him with dilemmas that an intelligent inquirer cannot avoid when facing people in difficult situations." Dr. Daniel Stoecklin, Professor, Institut Universitaire Kurt Bosh, IUKB, Childrens Rights Unit, Sion, Switzerland Can you imagine yourself living in Kaliti, a displaced person's camp in Ethiopia because you want to know what it's like to be such a person in such a place? But it's not just curiosity that takes you there. You are a skilled, well-practiced observer of human behavior in situ, so you know what to look for, what to record. And you are a first-class writer, easy to read, whose accounts of what he saw and heard are transmitted with enough detail, enough conveying of emotion that the reader is simultaneously moved while being informed, that you feel as if you, too, are there, in this camp in Ethiopia. The author of this compelling account of the strengths and weaknesses of humanitarian aid programs as exemplified by this particular but not atypical instance is Lewis Aptekar. This book is, in my opinion, as good as his earlier two classics, Street Children of Cali (1988) and Emotional Disasters in Global perspective (1994).
