This book is the creative response (social action) of the need for an Africentric program that empowers African/Black Americans families and communities. It is based upon Africentric approaches that focus on the adaptive and defensive functioning of African/Black Families through its cultural infrastructure. In no way is this study designed to place blame or foster hatred. It is designed to be a cultural knowledge base that fosters a greater understanding of African/Black people through the philosophical and psychological tenets of C-FACT (Churches-Families-And Communities-Together).

What if fear is the new brave? That's the question that you need answered if you are living afraid. Finding courage begins with fear itself--fear of the Lord. I Choose Brave reveals a countercultural plan to help you where you are--knee-deep in fears of parenting, the future, your marriage, and a world that feels unstable. When you're feeling fearful, the last thing you need is a social-media meme telling you to simply "power through" your fears. In I Choose Brave, Katie Westenberg digs deep into Scripture and shows that finding the courage to overcome our fears must start with fear of the Lord. Hundreds of passages speak to this foundational truth, yet we have somehow relegated them to antiquity. In sharing her own compelling story of facing her worst fear, Katie serves up theological truth with relatable application. In this book, you will · discover a fresh take on an old truth that displaces fear once and for all · understand why the culture's idea of "fearlessness" is a farce · access the holy courage you were made for With this new knowledge comes tremendous freedom. Hidden in the cleft of the Rock, the One truly worthy of our fear, you will begin to understand the only path to real courage.

John Keble was rightly esteemed in his day as the original source and real spirit of the Oxford Movement, but in the decades that have followed his reputation has become somewhat obscured as a result of the growth of interest in the other figures - Newman and Manning in particular - with whom he worked. In this collection of essays by scholars from the United Kingdom and North America, a sustained and successful attempt has been made both to reassess the centrality of Keble - his life and ministry - in his own time, and also to highlight the ways in which his influence has continued to be important in the development of Anglicanism in the succeeding 130 years.

This book is filled with positive words to encourage and lift you up. To Motivate you.

Ours is an age of anxiety. We worry about our children, jobs, homes, health, and finances. News and social media feed our fears. Even the fear of missing out leads to anxiety. The solution isn't to rid ourselves of the sources of anxiety but to recognize that anxiety originates from a spiritual influence--and then use the weapons of power, love, and a sound mind to fight back and live in God's peace. Sharing her own story of emerging from the battle with anxiety as well as the stories of others, Dr. Michelle Bengtson reminds you of your identity as a follower of Christ and of the peace he promises you in spite of everything. She provides tools to cope with the crushing emotional burden of anxiety now, and, more importantly, shows you how to reclaim God's peace as a way of life so that you can break anxiety's grip.

The bottom linewe love our children! We want them to excel in every part of life. We want them protected, healthy, prosperous, and whole. We want Gods best and most blessed for them, so that they can be a blessing to others; touching hearts for the Kingdom of God. But, how do we do that? We do that by diligently confessing the Word of God, in faith, over our children. We speak His life over their lives, and believe the promises of God. It doesnt matter what the world says about our children. What matters is what the WORD says about them. And Gods Word is a lifetime guarantee!
