Things Seen and Heard by Many is a collection of poetry based upon the authors observations of people as they go about their daily lives, not knowing they are being observed. Within each observed life is a central problem caused by some outside influence or an internal conflict. Author W. Thomas Love seeks to bring this to light to stimulate all who read the book to examine themselves and their respective lives. This examination hopes to minimize the problems before they become uncontrollable. An uncontrolled problem will disrupt life. From the outward expressions of a cotton pickers life and the authors interpretation of his life to the revelation that the world is a hard place that creates hard hearts, the poetry considers the essence of the human soul in its journey through life. These are many souls we encountered through our walk through this life. Things Seen and Heard by Many chronicles their joy, pain, struggle, disappointments, and their sadness.

The Times Are Urgent God Is on the Move Now Is the Moment to ... ask God to ignite his fire in your soul! Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew his people-to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy, and lukewarm religion. Cymbala knows the difference firsthand. Thirty-five years ago his own church, the Brooklyn Tabernacle, was a struggling congregation of twenty. Then they began to pray ... God began to move ... street-hardened lives by the hundreds were changed by the love of Christ ... and today they are more than ten thousand strong. The story of what happened to this broken-down church in one of America's toughest neighborhoods points the way to new spiritual vitality in the church and in your own life. Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire shows what the Holy Spirit can do when believers get serious about prayer and the gospel. As this compelling book reveals, God moves in life-changing ways when we set aside our own agendas, take him at his word, and listen for his voice.
