Apostle Joseph M. Curry reminds Christians that we are all in an invisible, spiritual battle that has eternal implications for our souls. Yet, most of us don't really know our enemy, Satan. Despite Satan's real presence and existence, many Christians either don't acknowledge that he exists or they give him way too much credit and blame him for everything that goes wrong in their life. We need an accurate and balanced perspective of our enemy and a better understanding of his goals and tactics so that we can have victory over the spiritual battle he wages against us. Apostle Curry discusses the methods and schemes Satan uses against us, and how we can stand against him in the face of specific challenges, such as pornography, addiction, and fear.

Neil Anderson, author of the bestselling The Bondage BreakerTM, and his coauthors expose the trauma of legalism to let you see how Christ frees you from your efforts to be “good enough for God.” Far too many Christians believe that the Christian life is “trying hard to do what God commands.” But making laws into lords estranges you from Christ. In this liberating book, the authors uncover the chains of legalism: shame, guilt, and pride the keys to liberty: knowing who you are in Christ and resting in the Father’s love the life of freedom: experiencing joyful friendship with God and obeying Him because you love Him If you’re weighed down by rules you can’t possibly keep, here’s encouragement and an appeal to the church to be free in Christ. Previously titled Breaking the Bondage of Legalism.

DELIVERANCE is a powerful weapon God has given His church to defeat Satan and set His people free! However, no one can live in sin and also walk in the power of God! When we accept Christ as our Savior, we become sons of God, washed clean by His blood, and when we die we go to heaven. This however, does not mean we are totally free and our problems will come to an end. We are still bound by our past; struggling with hurts, bitterness, lack of forgiveness, depression, illness, addictions, or just plain feeling defeated in life. We remain in bondage because although our spirit is born again, our soul (will, emotions and mind) and physical body need to be renewed and transformed. These are the areas that need deliverance. This manual is a comprehensive bible based study about the ministry of deliverance initiated by Jesus Christ. It includes a wide variety of related topics including: can a Christian have a demon, how demons enter, the origin of Satan and demons generational curses, soul ties, spiritual warfare, the believer's authority, ministry to children, the deliverance process and much more.

"Tells the story of the only slavery case ever adjudicated in Oregon courts - Holmes v. Ford. Drawing on the court record of this landmark case, Nokes offers an intimate account of the relationship between a slave and his master from the slave's point of view. He also explores the experiences of other slaves in early Oregon, examining attitudes toward race and revealing contradictions in the state's history. Oregon was the only free state admitted to the union with a voter-approved constitutional clause banning African Americans and, despite the prohibition against slavery, many in Oregon tolerated it, and supported politicians who were pro-slavery, including Oregon's first territorial governor"--Unedited summary from book cover.
