Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.

"Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me declares the LORD." (Jeremiah 9:23,24). A great deal of interest has been aroused in recent years concerning the Holy Spirit, His identity and His work. This is no mere coincidence. Never has there been a time when the Church has needed the Holy Spirit more and yet been so bankrupt of its "Power" than today. Could it be that we have misunderstood something crucial about the Holy Spirit? Bruce Bivens has devoted the major portion of the last three years to the intense study of the person of the Holy Spirit. He has been pleasantly surprised by the depth, beauty and simplicity of what the Lord has to say concerning the mysteries of the Godhead and the person of the Holy Spirit. And so will you. "Are We Missing Something Here?" is the product of his study and is refreshingly straightforward, logical, challenging, Bible-based and empowering. If your tired of all the propaganda floating around the Church concerning the Trinity and the Holy Spirit If your tired of belonging to a "Powerless" Church If your tired of the absence of "Victory" in your own life If you would like to know for sure just what the truth is concerning the Godhead and the Holy Spirit Then this book is for you! God would like nothing more than to pour out the Holy Spirit upon us and to give us POWER but the Holy Spirit cannot be given in its full "Power" until we have a much truer understanding and appreciation of "Who" He is, "How" He has come to be offered to us and "Why". The answers to these questions will not only astound you, they will also empower you (and your church) as never before. This book will give you those answers in a straightforward, understandable and powerful way. "Are We Missing Something Here" is written primarily for Seventh-day Adventists but is worthy of the study of Christians from ALL denominations. If your ready for "meat" instead of "milk", substance instead of ideas, the Word of God instead of human understanding if you would dare to know the Truth -- then this book is what you have been looking for. I make almost NOTHING off of this book -- that is Not my intent. I am only interested in getting this message out there and every effort has been made to do so at an affordable cost! However, I am confident that you will find this one of the BEST INVESTMENTS you have ever made (in that it provides the most BIBLICAL and SOP information you will find on the subject) -- so I strongly encourage you to invest in this book!

Awakening a Woman's Soul explores the modern-day woman's battle with soul hunger. Soul hunger is a deep inner longing for things to change. Our souls are calling for a shift from living a life based on how we should be and what we should do, to how we are meant to be and who we are meant to become.

"Jackson’s characters and their heart-wrenching story linger long after the final page, urging readers to advocate for those who are disenfranchised and forgotten by society and the system." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List") From the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Tiffany D. Jackson, comes a gripping novel about the mystery of one teenage girl’s disappearance and the traumatic effects of the truth. Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparable—more sisters than friends. So when Monday doesn’t turn up for the first day of school, Claudia’s worried. When she doesn’t show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn’t just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year’s rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her best—and only—friend more than ever. But Monday’s mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday’s sister April is even less help. As Claudia digs deeper into her friend’s disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday. How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she’s gone?
