Very often, because people are good at making widgets, they are promoted to be in charge of the department making widgets. They know how to make great widgets, but nothing about managing people. So they fall back to their comfort zone and continue doing what they are good at—making widgets—and avoiding what they are uncomfortable at—managing people!

In Revelation 20:1-3, the scriptures say God is going to lock Satan, the devil, up for 1000 years. This is when the millennium will come to the planet, and the Earth and paradise will be restored. From this verse, we get the word millennium, Latin for "one thousand," the kingly rule of God by Jesus and the resurrected saints, the kingdom of heaven on planet Earth.

I know this sounds a bit cliche, but life truly is a journey. It evidences as a unique sojourn for every individual person. This is the story of a child born seventy years ago. It is a story of triumph and setbacks, of joy and sorrow, of weakness and strength. But most of all, it is a story of courage. Brian J. Woznicki was born with cerebral palsy. He was dealt a very difficult hand in life.

Maize is a dark tale about gruesome murders and the urgency to find the cause. In rural Ryne County, a tourist attraction is the site of a grizzly killing. Residents start to suspect each other, while the local county sheriff and his deputy look for answers.

The world is full of perceptions of inequalities and injustices. However ambiguous and preposterous to some, these perceptions are a reality to those who live them. So rather than dwell on the negatives and those things that separate and divide us, this book (as the first of a three-part series) analyzes the challenges faced and then offers positive, inclusive solutions. Time has shown that a properly led team with effective leadership is much stronger than an individual. Each one reaches at least one.

This is how Satan is disguising himself, by using the media for many ways, and everyone is refusing to pay any attention. Later it becomes an addiction, like a drug. This is how Satan gets believers and unbelievers to worship him. This is how believers are falling in the trap and church worship is leaving their life. Are you shutting the church out of your life? In the end, we find out by letting the media idols become an addiction to our life. Most never realized what was going on. Oh, how easily believers are getting blinded.

One pair of shoes, two children. Who goes to school, who does not? This book chronicles the journey of a very young girl sharing a single pair of shoes with her sister and having to alternate between days to go to school, hence the concept of "a half pair of shoes".

These stories tell the wrong path we are headed unless we change the outcome. The racial injustice, police reform, and changing this hate into love for all immigrants living in our land. America is made from immigrants coming to America to have a better life for themselves and their families. We must strive to do our part and eliminate systemic racism of all races coming or born in this country we love and call home. The sex and human trafficking and illegal drugs that have stained our land must cease to exist.

Growing up, I often visited older family members with my mother. I remember well the sharing of tales and stories of the old days about our family on Monteith Island. This book is a compilation of those stories as I recall them, though they may have even changed as they were passed down and intertwined with a little fiction and a little nonfiction, as well as many of my paranormal experiences.

This book was born from my burden (1) that people who call themselves Christian might desire to read and study the scriptures themselves (John 5:39); because of (2) the great fear I have that many who think they are Christian have been misled and do not know the truth (Ephesians 5:6). Chapter 1 deals with four questions concerning salvation: Why do I need to know about the Gospel? What if I don't know? How can I know? How can I be assured once I know?

Everybody messes up. In relationships. In business. In life. It's a fact of human nature that we're flawed. People aren't inherently bad, but humans tend to do a lot of bad things. Everyone has engaged in behavior they're not proud of. We all have secrets, and we're all prone to traits and impulses we wish we didn't have. History, literature, and music for centuries have given us examples of falls from grace, tragedies, and fatal flaws.

The Days of the Kingdom is as material intended to bring awareness to God's people that God's kingdom is here, and it is in us. This book also reminds us that we, the church, are God's legislators on earth...

There are reasons that children don't listen, and there are ways to convert bad attitudes. If you believe that training up a child in the way he should go and honoring your parents may be part of how you get your child to feed a cat—or get your child to come when you call, finish homework, or be home by suppertime—this book is for you.

Every book of the Bible is of major importance. However, there are two books that stand out from the rest. These books are Genesis and Revelation. Genesis is the Bible's introduction, and Revelation is the Bible's conclusion. Genesis tells us how all things began. Revelation tells us how all things will end. The person who does not have an overall grasp of these two books will fall short of understanding the Bible as a whole. Revelation: Putting the Cookies on the Bottom Shelf was written to make the book of Revelation understandable.

America is at a crossroad. Current public opinion surveys report that Americans believe that the country is on the wrong track, and they are broadly pessimistic about the future. Diminishing social trust, lack of civility, and promotion of individualism over community has resulted in a country that is discontented, fractious, alienated, and divided. What is happening to our American values and virtues?

If listening to this book does anything for you, but establish a sense of urgency for being prepared for the return of Jesus and eternal life in Heaven, then I have done my job. Right now, Jesus probably cares more about your eternal life with Him than you do! If you are not ready and excited for Christ's return tomorrow, then you are playing Russian roulette with procrastination and fear. When Christ returns once again, it will either be the best or the worst day of your life! Make sure you are inside before the door is shut!
