We've all have something that we did whether it was big or small. I'm introducing some things to you in this book that can help change your life forever. Its not as simple as it seems but then again, it actually is. That's what this book is about.

This is a book of inspiration & motivation, about incarcerated men that lost their way & identity to gangs, and all the other snares of the devil. By the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These same men have been called and saved by God while in prison and now are being trained as soldiers in the army of God to fight against the wiles of the devil, that they may seek and save that which are lost through the blood of Christ and the word of their testimony...... There is a better way and through the testimonies of these incarcerated men that are now living free, full of life, peace, joy and love. You also can be released by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, change the devil's lie that we're believed our whole life into the truth of GOD's word and experience this life changing phenomenon.....

Have you ever felt your life was hopeless because of the mistakes you've made? That you're damaged goods, beyond repair, beyond the reach of God's love? Diamonds for Christ will show you how God can turn each disappointment, struggle, fear, obstacle, and pain you've experienced to help you overcome life's challenges to fill you with hope and expectancy. Just like diamonds, which are formed through the process of pressure and heat to produce something beautiful, God will heal and restore every broken area of your life. God healed me from the pain of divorce, abortion, single parenting, loneliness, hopelessness, and living a life to please people; he will do the same for you. He allowed me to see that his love and grace are much greater than my sin and failures. Through Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, I've been restored and have a new outlook on life. A life with a sense of purpose, meaning, and hope, knowing that through Christ, all things are possible. There is also a fulfilling and happy life awaiting you. It's time to stop living confined by your past and look to the beauty of your future because God has an awesome plan and purpose for you!

Every girl dreams of their life being exciting, except Caroline Angelica Shabazz, who’s just getting used to living a normal life, due to her father’s illegal activities. Now all grown up, Caroline comes home one day to a familiar feeling that she thought was over; a quiet house, a large manila envelope on the coffee table with her new identity, and a note telling her that she had to get out of the house before the FBI kicked in the door looking for her father. Carolina flees to California, but what she doesn’t know, and will soon learn, is that her fate was sealed before her birth, and it was decided for her to wed Juan Carlos, a Colombian drug lord, as payment for a debt or else her family will die. But then Caroline becomes caught up in a dangerous love affair, with a man by the name of Hector, after Juan Carlos forbid her from seeing him. When things turn deadly, Caroline does what she knows best, run. Will Juan Carlos track Caroline down in St. Louis and drag her back to California to be his bride? Or, will she remain hidden in the hood under an assumed identity and continue to live as Kayla?

Change your life and become an inspiring, passionate praying warrior who proclaims God's Word with this refreshingly honest guide to strengthening your faith. If you want positive results from prayer, you first need to pray! But so many people who say they believe in the power of prayer actually pray very little . . . or not at all. It's time to get serious about prayer. Autumn Miles says that we must stop being prayer wimps and instead be transformed into "prayer gangsters"--people who are passionate about their faith and loyalty to God. Autumn believes that God wants to give us so much more than what we've been settling for. It's time our prayer life, which has been mediocre at best, becomes something that is: Fervent, intentional, and highly expectant. Gangster Prayer won't teach you how to pray. Instead, it will help reveal the heart behind a believing prayer and put the focus back on who we are praying to instead of on what we are praying for. With a changed perspective and objective, we can finally see the results from prayer we've been longing for--not just answers but a changed life.

Hey, readers. I was taught my entire life to attend college from my parents, school, church members, strangers, and whomever, you get my point. Basically the world we live in places high value on a college education but then leave you still hunting for a good paying job and the stress of paying off student loans, then to learn that's not where I belong. "What a surprise to my spirit. She has degrees, but instead, she's a housewife and a mother of four." This is what the whispers of me were, as if I were a waste to society because I have degrees and accepted that the Lord choose me for other works outside of my degrees. Um, no wonder I'm here at Jesus University. At Jesus University, you will gain a deeper relationship with the Lord where healing, planting, building, cooking, and serving souls is what we do at Jesus University. At Jesus University, Christ is our true teacher, having the Lord as our professor and not the aggressor, being taught and not living lost, learning to remove the desires of what you want, and accepting what Jesus requires of you by inquiring about Jesus and gaining a greater desire for His Word, the importance of learning His Word, and having a relationship with the Lord so you can live in this world, remembering not to conform but being transformed by the renewal of your mind. To conform is not to join. To join is to transform. Come, learn with Jesus and be touched by the blessings He has waiting for you inside. You're just in time for open enrollment. All are welcome, and all are accepted. Welcome to Jesus University. What you waiting for? Dig in. Its plenty! Blessings and prosperity toward you. Alicia Crandell

Things have changed. The Truth has not. The 1950's are gone forever. The days of the Sunday school attendance award and the much-loved Sunday school picnic have faded into oblivion. Yet some youth ministries still operate as if today's kids are living in a vacuum, unaffected by the changing morals of today's society. How can we reach these kids with the truth of the gospel? More than fifty of America's youth experts give advice and encouragement to those who long to see this generation know the love of Christ. They help readers think through their philosophies of youth ministry, break down barriers that impede progress, and maximize their own gifts and the gifts of those who work with them. They answer tough questions such as: How can leaders build a relational youth ministry? How can we find and support volunteers? What are the issues women face in youth ministry? How do we minister in ethnic communities? How should we respond to popular culture? How can we help hurting adolescents? You can have a vibrant youth ministry even in these uncertain times. You can reach this generation for Christ.
