My husband and I retired in 1990. In the year that followed we moved tp Grove, Oklahoma. We were so excited. Confidently, we looked forward to the future that held our plans for a new way of life. Then, with no warning, on August 5, 1996, while we were sleeping mu husband went to be with Jesus. With his passing, our dreams once filled with warmth and expectations, became transparent ashes for me. The life we had known and shared was over. In my grief and sorrow the Holy Spirit came. In the early morning hours of September 14, 1996, I awakened knowing there was a presence within the room. I was not affraid. Although I did not hear an audible voice, He comforted me. From those moments with Him a hunger was born within my heart to know Him better. From that day forward, He became the focus of my life and an inner peace began to grow within me. I invite you to join me and follow the steps of my journey with the Holy Spirit. I believe this book will be a source of healing for those who are experiencing heartache and those who are in spiritual need. I promise you when you give your heart to Jesus, He in return, will then do a greater work in you, and you will reap the rewards of peace, joy and happiness. All monies received form the sale of this book will be donated to the ministries of God.

These devotions will challenge you to examine your heart and your walk with the Lord, and help you become a brighter Reflection of Gods Grace.

“As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. ‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, ‘Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.’ But Jesus said, ‘Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.’ Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace’” (Luke 8:40–48 NIV). How wonderful it is to touch the very hem of His garment each time we open His words of truth in the Bible—hidden treasures revealed through the presence of His Holy Spirit.

From Moab to Bethlehem...Journey to the King is an in-depth study of the biblical book of Ruth. Full of deep insights by author Cynthia Shomaker, it traces the footsteps of Naomi and Ruth and takes the reader on an inspiring journey from doubt, despair and defeat to triumphant faith and satisfying fulfillment. First taught to a small Bible study group, the 44 lessons in From Moab to Bethlehem address issues every person deals with, among them: the temptation to trust in earthly things, failed expectations, responding to loss, disillusionment and despair, past sins and other debilitating conditions, self-doubts and insecurities and false saviors. Along the way, it constantly points the reader to Jesus, the King, the true Savior and Redeemer, who much like Boaz, Ruth's kinsman-redeemer, is not only able to redeem fully, but to provide "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." This inspirational book challenges us to dare to leave our "Moabs" behind, venture by faith onto the pathway to Bethlehem, the "House of Bread," and find there in Christ everything we'll ever need.Terry Beh- editorCynthia Shomaker is a former educator who now homeschools her two children in Highlands, North Carolina, where she and her husband Eric have made their home since 1993. She has been studying, writing, teaching Bible study and leading retreats for the past several years.

When instruments are harmoniously joined together, beautiful music ensues. Just as in a classic symphony, life often occurs in phases, or movements. In his creative comparison Symphony #1 in a Minor Key, literary exegete Alan Block shares his philosophies on four movements reflected in his own life, each loosely modeled on a different musical form linked to the emotions of a life both fully lived and joyously celebrated. In the first movement, Sonata Allegro, Block juxtaposes biblical stories with personal experiences as he explores the contradictory nature of what it means to leave home in search of another home. In the second movement, representing a slow march to and from the grave, he focuses his examination on the funerals of three very different people from a Jewish perspective. In strong contrast, Block presents a glimpse into his absurd daily world in the third movement, punctuated by jokes and commentary. Finally, he shares a celebration of life and hope inspired by the final movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, encouraging others to be open to the sublime and realize that none of our worlds is perfect. Symphony #1 in a Minor Key shares one man's reflections as he offers a fascinating meditation on life, death, and everything in between.

God is realigning hearts and nations in crisis. This book will allow you to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches in this season of a modern-day Passover. A timely prophetic message on how to discern the times and know what to do as the body of Christ. As people and nations emerge in the aftermath of this pandemic, God will realign hearts and nations in preparation for an end-time harvest. BRIEF SUMMARY: One of America’s most-respected prophetic voices brings a critical message to a nation—and world—at a crossroads. In September 2019, God revealed to Chuck Pierce that between February and April 2020, plague-like conditions would hit the earth. The Lord said, “I will be waiting to see which nations ‘pass over.’” Just like the very first Passover, God is looking for a remnant that will hold strong and bring His love to a hurting planet. Pierce divides the rumors from the Word, and answers such questions as: Why would the current situation be happening around the time of Passover 2020? Is this a modern-day plague for a modern-day Passover? Are nations still trying to bring other nations under their control and economic rule? What is Israel’s role in this critical time? How do we move forward today? In the midst of pandemic, God is also assuring His Church that after this period, for those who hold fast to Jesus, there will be a time of celebration. In The Passover Prophecies, Pierce delves into the ancient biblical signs that point toward a glorious future for the people of God. Move forward, feed your faith, and know that even in the midst of uncertainty, His kingdom shall overcome, and His will shall be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

What do you do when faced with persistent physical hurdles? You may do your best to follow medical instructions and take your prescribed medications, expecting to get better.

In No Longer Alone through the Valley, she describes more than forty years of health problems.

Men and women of the Bible grapple with failures and future goals. Ng found encouragement in their stories and their strength, and she shows how you can, too. Although Ng continues to wrestle with challenges and adjustments to life’s unpredictable changes remain in her life, she is no longer alone in dealing with those problems. No Longer Alone through the Valley seeks to help you find Jesus’ gifts to guide you through your challenges, whatever they might be. All you have to do is ask.

For hundreds of years John Calvin's Commentaries have been admired and relied upon for their deep insights into Scripture. Charles Spurgeon told his students, "It would not be possible for me too earnestly to press upon you the importance of reading the expositions of that prince among men, John Calvin! Of all commentators I believe John Calvin to be the most candid. He was no trimmer and pruner of texts. He gave their meaning as far as he knew it. His honest intention was to translate the Hebrew and the Greek originals as accurately as he possibly could, and then to give the meaning which would naturally be conveyed by such Greek and Hebrew words: he laboured, in fact, to declare, not his own mind upon the Spirit's words, but the mind of the Spirit as couched in those words." And even Arminius himself admitted, "Next to the perusal of the Scriptures, which I earnestly inculcate, I exhort my pupils to peruse Calvin's commentaries, for I affirm that he excels beyond comparison in the interpretation of Scripture, and that his commentaries ought to be more highly valued than all that is handed down to us by the Library of the Fathers; so that I acknowledge him to have possessed above most others, or rather above all other men, what may be called an eminent gift of prophecy."
