On Bended Knees is a collection of weekly devotionals that the author has put together as the Holy Spirit revealed…
same to her. Many of these writings are a result of personal experiences the author has been through and found solace and the required answers through the word of God. &“For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.&” Hebrews 4:12 AMPC. This scripture comes alive in the pages of this devotional and the chapters speak into the life of the reader as a now word!How do we approach the word of God? We approach the word of God with love, with humility and with expectation. With fresh insight from The Holy Spirit, the author has put this devotional together with real life experiences in the word of God detailing her meditations and the deep truths the Holy Spirit on this journey has revealed to her. These experiences are very relatable to many as is evident from the pages of the book. The very practical examples utilized in the pages of this devotional reveal there is a light at the end of the tunnel in this Christian walk, making the challenges we face look clearly surmountable and showing the reader what to do in various situations. Easily understood based on her style of writing, the truth of God&’s word is opened up to the reader with answers to several questions that have plagued the Christian mind. The Word is critical to daily living. The Word is logos which speaks to the written Word and the Word is rhema which speaks to divine revelation. The teachings of this book point us to the Master in His Majesty and shows us how to utilize the life building capsules in the Bible for our spiritual development. It puts us on our back so that we can look up. It is directional and instructive, from worry to prayer to intimacy with God to keeping our eyes on the Potter, to dwelling in his secret place, to warring. Each chapter is power, and as we open our hearts to God in scripture through the teachings of the book, we can be sure of a life changing experience. The perfect Helper is waiting at the door of your heart to lead you through.

A field guide to understanding and managing anger--what it is, where it comes from, and how to get it under…
control.Many people assume that anger is the emotion that leads to raised voices and violence, and this kind of explosive rage is certainly a reality. But there are many different types of anger, from the simmering to the shutting down. Most of us experience some form of anger or its effects. The good news is that anger can be controlled.Founded on thirteen faith-based steps designed to recognize and manage anger, The Anger Workbook is an interactive guide to transforming patterns and behaviors with the help of biblical principles and evidence-based treatment.Best-selling author and practicing counselor Les Carter, Ph.D. and author and Christian psychiatrist Frank Minirth, M.D. draw on their years of experience and expertise to demystify the problem of anger. Throughout this workbook, you will learn:How to identify situational anger in yourself or others as well as patterns of relating, thinking, and behaving that may lead to feelings of angerHow emotions like fear, loneliness, and inferiority create angerHow to uncover and eliminate myths that perpetuate anger such as, "Letting go of my anger means I am conceding defeat." Or "No one understand my unique problems."For parents: how to manage a child's angerAs we get to know and understand anger--whether it's our own or a loved one's--its management becomes far less daunting. Anger can be controlled.

His life changes after he is unexpectedly left in Los Angeles at the age of fourteen. His aging grandparents live…
in the middle of the rugged City Terrace barrio in East LA. He is homesick and has trouble dealing with a demanding grandmother showing early symptoms of Alzheimer's. He plans to ride his bicycle 440 miles back to Phoenix, when God changes his plan. He visits a seminary in Compton, CA and makes a hasty decision to become a priest. He spends his first two years of high school at Dominguez Seminary.After he decides to quit his quest for the priesthood, the book describes the struggles of re-entering into a "normal" adolescence in the barrio of Phoenix. Most of his experiences are centered on working in a dysfunctional job environment at a nearby grocery store.As the young man continues into his latter teenage years, he begins to change gradually for the worse. He discovers his fondness of alcohol that later becomes an addiction. His struggles continue as he tries to figure out his purpose in life. He is on the verge of getting into serious trouble with the law in various situations. These include underage drinking, almost getting caught in an attempt to steal a car battery and has an alcohol related motor vehicle accident. His life becomes more complicated as he adds a substance to enhance his drinking ability. His life is in a downward spiral. He is rescued from all of this when he escapes the barrio by joining the Navy.The purpose of the book is to show others with similar beginnings what brought him to believe in the manner he currently does. It is not meant to say, "The way I believe is right, and you are wrong" or to put down anyone&’s beliefs. The book is intended to encourage the reader to take a closer look at what they truly believe. Scripture is used to shine light on Jesus as the way to the Father. It is emphasized the way explicitly and not one of the ways to the Father.Barrio Walk is a story of Hope interspersed with humor and scripture. The book shows glimpses of the future with the sharing of the author's born-again experience much later in life. The final chapter is one of triumph as it describes his father&’s acceptance of Christ and his "jump" into Eternal life at his moment of death.
