My name is Steve, father and husband to an average middle-class family. Im writing this book because today my wife, son, daughter, and I are saved by the grace of God through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our walk to Him was not short and certainly not easy. We experienced blessings and trials that tested our very being and sanity. This book will bring you through visions, visitations, and demonic experiences that changed us forever. I pray that this book might reach someone who is looking for answers that can be found within our journey to the Lord. I pray also that this story will be an encouragement, as it reminds you that God is listening to your prayers. The Bible states, Ephesians 6:12, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. It is this one verse that sets up our entire story, it states the challenge my family was about to be put into, however it also is the very footing I needed to keep me based in the word of the Bible, to remember who the enemy truly was in our struggle, and to remember Jesus, who was really in control of everything. Have faithstrong faiththat our Lord Jesus is a man of His word, that He is able to do all, and that He does walk with you always. Yours in Christ, Steve

A delightful book of beginning prayers, for children from ages 4-7, with beautiful full-color illustrations.

Everyday worship practices--from praying the rosary to moments of recognizing the beauty of God's creation, from being moved by the power of music to praying Vespers on an iPad--not only take place at different locations and during different days of the week but also dynamically interact with one another. The Liturgy of Life examines the interrelationship between the practice of Sunday Eucharist and the many nonofficial worship practices that mark the everyday lives of Christians who continually negotiate the boundaries of official teaching on liturgy. Drawing on the writings of theologians and sociologists of lived religion and data from an ethnographic research project, this timely work stretches the contextual horizon of liturgical scholarship and presents a provocative and dynamic paradigm of Christian worship for the twenty-first century.

Some unique contributions of Family By the Bible are: 1. Instead of the traditional, hit-and-miss success of self-help Christian and secular books on managing families, this book offers a more-sure, proven approaches to creating and sustaining successful and strong families, because it draws on the infinite wisdom of God through His Scripture –the Bible. 2. Practical and proven tools and methods of the Bible are presented here to help make American families grow strong again. This is true for families all around the world as well. Strong families create strong communities, and strong communities create strong countries. And strong countries make happy and joyful societies in the world. 3. Joyful societies (as those pre-1950s) create more wholesome families, with better civility, and decency among the citizens, more peaceful pursuits for the common good, more harmony, less social costs, better emotional and relational health, and ultimately, to lesser existential threats to the 8 billion of us and our wonderful earth. 4. Elon Musk, the genius founder of Tesla Electric Car Company, and Space X company, is hoping that by relocating us to other planets like Mars, we will create more ideal societies. I humbly disagree with his notion. If anything, we, the corrupt humans, will carry forth our self-destructive thinking from the earth to the other planets, and replicate our same bad behaviors there as well! A more practical solution is to teach and train our families to learn the pre-1950s values and enjoy our lives here first! This book presents such tools. 5. If every family practices at least some of this book’s principles, we’ll have regained more pre-1950s values, and we can slash budgets for welfare, social costs, disease control, mental health, and illogical thinking which have been destroying all our fundamental institutions: religious, educational, legal, economical, and humanitarian.
