We are created to live in an altar'd state--surrendered, yielded, free.
The noun altar is usually understood to be a place of worshipful offering. Something of value is offered up and released on the altar. When we turn the noun altar into a verb--altar our fear, our failure, our possessiveness, our need to control--all those things that hold us captive and keep us from running the race at full throttle are released.
Through careful exposition and biblical teaching, celebrated author and prayer expert Jennifer Kennedy Dean guides readers on a 40-day exploration of the Scriptures and what it means to truly live a life dead to flesh and alive to the Spirit.

Author Michelle Hargus has been called to encourage others through her real life stories and experiences. As Michelle began to freely share her life, she was encouraged by friends to compile these lessons into a book. Michelle recalls, I am so blessed. Just this week a friend asked me to go for a walk, and we talked for a very long time. She just needed an ear to listen. I was able to offer her some encouragement and pray with my sweet friend. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, but ever since I was a little girl, I have believed God has given me a gift that may help others feel just a little more comfortable. I want Him to use me as a tool to reach others whenever possible. Sometimes I feel someone's energy. I know they may not necessarily need a hug but just a word of encouragement. I believe I am drawn to people who need a smile or a compliment that might change their entire outlook, even for just that moment. That's what I believe these stories are for... to give others a bit of happiness or a different outlook... a daily dose of hope.

While the rest of the world has been roaring through the 1920s, times are hardscrabble in rural South Georgia. Widow Maggie Parker is barely surviving while raising her young son alone. Then as banks begin to fail, her father-in-law threatens to take her son and sell off her livelihood--the grocery store her husband left her. Can five Southern women band together, using their wisdom and wiles to stop him and survive the Great Depression?
The day Cora Fitzgerald turned sixteen, she fled Sugar Hill for the bright lights of New York City, leaving behind her senator father's abuse. But just as her career takes off, she's summoned home.
The stock market has crashed. The senator is dead. Her mother is delusional, and her mute Aunt Clara pens novels that expose the town's secrets. Then there's Boone Robertson, who never knew she was alive back in high school but now manages to be around whenever she needs help.
And the Fitzgerald women need a lot of help, indeed. They are forced to find a way to make ends meet, whether it's mining for gold or doing what Southern women have done for generations in times of need--turning their home into a boardinghouse.
But will the people of Cora's past keep her from returning to a brilliant future?

This study will help the mentor-to-be to evaluate her own gifts and how they can be used in mentoring, to examine the different possible roles of a mentor, to develop a plan for starting off the mentoring relationship in a positive way and to avoid the dangers that befall mentoring relationships.

In the year 1717, Ricky embarks on an unexpected journey aboard a ship captained by Stede Bonnet, a wealthy sugar plantation owner who decides to abandon his comfortable life to set sail as a pirate. As they chart a course toward the North American coast, Bonnet's crew runs afoul of the British Royal Navy and is put to the test when they encounter a heavily armed warship. Soon the crew is stealing, killing, and plundering their way toward the coast of the Carolinas. Only when Bonnet's crew falls under the command of Blackbeard do the men learn what it truly means to become a pirate.
Blackbeard's leadership brings about a profound transformation in the men, revealing the depths of their own wicked capabilities. Under his orders, Bonnet's crew navigates the treacherous waters of the Caribbean and North Atlantic coast, facing adversaries, mutinies, and prizes for the taking. Soon Bonnet's crew hones their skills and becomes a formidable crew of marauding, murdering pirates.

Using the fruit of the Spirit passage, Soul Hunger shows you how to allow the Holy Spirit to live victoriously within you and win the battle against your flesh.

Jesus, our Lord, as never seen before! A Superhero Graphic Novel for those who seek provision, protection, and purpose - and those who desire shelter, security, healing, health, and wholeness.
See how Jesus lifts us from pits of despair to places of blessings. Experience his joy and be free to live his will to its fullest. Deepen your faith in the goodness of God. Expect your Lord to do the impossible. Read the words of Jesus and believe that He, the Father, and the Holy Spirit want the best for you.
Is the good news of Jesus too good to be true? No! Though rich, He became poor, so that we might share in his treasures. If we humble ourselves before God and trust in his ways, words, and will, we will see our Lord and King works in and through us to bless others.
God grants second, third, and forever chances, so don't lose heart. Jesus wants more for you than you can imagine. Believe his words and be encouraged.
If you believe and do not doubt, you can say . . . and it will be done. (Matthew 21:22)
If you believe . . . you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. (Matthew 21:22)
If you have faith as small as a seed, nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:20-21)
To those who ask, my Father in heaven desires to give you good gifts. (Matthew 6:11)
As you have believed, so it will be done for you. (Matthew 8:13)
This is not the wealth and health prosperity gospel preached by some but the pure Good News Jesus gave to all. Abundance in Jesus is all that we need for each day. Provision in Jesus is contentment, joy, peace, work with purpose, and HIS presence in our lives.
Come. Taste and see that God is good.
