Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real names have been changed to protect the guilty, and should the likeness of any character in this book appear to resemble any individual, it is purely intentional. Also I have deliberately embellished on certain factual accounts in the book, purely for effect. This book is being written, to let church-folk everywhere know, that you are not alone, and that the goings on at your local church are not isolated incidences, there is mess in every church, and my prayer is that you will stand fast, stay put, and put the devil on the run. There were no collaborators, no extensive research done, no accolades to give to anyone. This is one mans journey from faith to faith, through his own eyes. If the book is a failure, I take full responsibility, the failure is not in God, it's in me. I am simply saying what the spirit is saying to me, and through me; "Thus saith the Lord"

Book excerpt: As Leeza celebrates her forty-fifth birthday, there is no birthday cake, candles, gifts, or party with family and friends. It’s just her, alone in a prison cell probably for the rest of her life. She contemplates how her life has gone so completely off track, and she recalls how it all began for her as a little girl growing up in Eden Square in the projects. Leeza wishes she could go back to being the little girl with the bad grammar and the big dreams, but it’s much too late for that now. She faces a death sentence. A work of spiritual fiction, Little Miss Sanctified, by author Dr. Louis Timm’s, lets God’s people know they are not alone and that there is that dark side that exists in all. Through Leeza’s fictional story, Timm’s shows Christians that the hand of a loving and living God offers a right sense of worth and direction; God alone knows the end from the beginning. With each and every temptation, God will provide a way of escape only to those who truly want to escape the vices this world so lavishly offers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author Michele Andrea Bowen, the uproarious sequel to her hit novel Church Folk. It is now 1986, and the preachers of the Gospel United Church are preparing for their much-anticipated Triennial General Conference. The last time readers encountered the good Rev. Theophilus Simmons, he was a newlywed and the pastor of a modest-sized congregation in Memphis. Now he's the father of three and running a congregation in St. Louis. His best friend, Rev. Eddie Tate, is now with a fast growing church in Chicago, but he is getting real frustrated with the way things are run in the Gospel United Church. Marcel Brown and his father, Ernest, along with Sonny Washington and Bishop Larsen Giles have had two decades to perfect their slimy methods of "tapping" church funds and other misdeeds. Now they've found a secret weapon that will allow them to make fast money and accomplish what they failed to do 20 years ago--buy off enough power to dominate the entire denomination, put their cronies in key spots, and ransack the church like it is the spoils of war. It won't be long before the two opposing sides face off..."church-folk" style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking For Love In All Th e Wrong Places is an inspirational book for females of all race and age groups. Many females struggle with acceptance and love and because of this they end up involved in different types of unhealthy relationships. This book will teach females that if they put their trust and love in God first then the right type of love and acceptance they desire will come. Included in this book is scripture reference for each chapter, so the reader will have a bible basis to reflect on. Also there are discussion questions at the end of each chapter for studying and reflection. Danyelle Newtons struggle for looking for love in all of the wrong places is reflected throughout the pages of this book. This book is not only her testimony of the wrong love she looked for because she didnt have her trust and faith in God, but it reflects her journey towards finding the right type of love as well. Once she found Christ, her views on love changed and the love she was searching for didnt have to be found because it was right inside of her all along.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a minister, have a minister, know a minister or know someone else that has or knows a minister, this book is an absolute must read. Money and sex are two of the biggest culprits of our time and being in the church is no guarantee to immunity. The real names have been changed to protect the guilty and should the likeness of any character in this book appear to resemble any individual, it is purely intentional. True to form, I have deliberately resorted to the act of embellishment on certain factual like accounts in this book, purely for effect of it all. Dr. Timm's has written this book to let the children of God everywhere know that you are not alone and that the goings on at your local church is not an isolated incidence. Every church needs to have a Pastor/Minister, but know this, God has an all Seeing Eye and He has not forgotten about your plight. I dare you to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, let Him fix it, wait on God, He will show up and He will definitely show out. Not only will we have to pay for our wrongdoings, but they that have pleasure in them will have a price to pay as well; "Thus saith the Lord" From the same author that brought us; "Little Miss Sanctified" and "Church-Folk Some Messed-Up-Folk"

Book excerpt: Set in 1960s Mississipi, this novel is a powerful tale of love, faith, and finding your voice. Theophilus Henry Simmons is young, single, sexy, and just about the finest black man any wishful mother and daughter have ever seen in Charleston, Mississippi. He's also a pastor. And when he starts courting the quiet, homespun Essie Lee Lane-and she accepts his marriage proposal-a few of the church folk decide to teach Essie what it really means to be a pastor's wife, and show her how little she knows about them. But as Theophilus gains prominence in his denomination, Essie evolves from a mousy parishioner into an independent and Godly woman. Now sporting an afro and driving her new purple Cadillac, Essie teaches the church folk what it really means to stand by your man-and your beliefs.

Book excerpt: The period known as the 60's sparked several revolutions in America. It was the era of religious expression, communes, protests, long hair and sexual free will. But when the external liberties that the 60's introduced began to diminish, the 70's would begin a time period of pseudo-celebration for the freedoms that were "obtained." While America celebrated, the youth of the next generation were left home alone to face their own struggles. Johnnie Dent takes us on an astonishing personal journey while sharing with us three decades of his own life. He allows us to reexamine the social dilemmas of domestic violence, single parenting, teenage pregnancy, youth violence, drug trafficking, police brutality, the penal system and even religious intolerance. He provides us with a refreshing retrospective and introspective of what real life in America is like to be poor, ignorant, black and male. However, while he illustrates for us these startling facts that we seemingly overlook in everyday life, he also demonstrates that any person can transform the negative patterns of their lifestyles by beginning a new walk layered with faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are basically three reasons for writing this book: 1) To leave a legacy. 2) To present some personal church experiences. 3) To introduce actions on differing crimes against society. I have many thoughts and reflections on how I have been treated by church folk. One Sunday a mentor approached me and handed me a journal saying, "Here, you will need this to keep record of your journey." One day you will look back and wonder how you accomplished so much! For a while, I was journaling on a regular basis. Then it dawned on me to take notes or journal in church, so I could study more later. After looking back and reflecting, I was inspired to write a book. It is a way to share some awareness of church activities that can really leave you feeling disappointed. The revolution presently going on revealed unlawful acts, including some that have been questioned and shut down such as job and sexual harassment, along with fraternity initiation crimes. In my opinion, these are shameful acts against society. Our advanced and global world must not ignore these actions. Speak out, be heard even if it is your church folk.

Book excerpt: When Bubba Lee was a boy, his family would spend all day on Sundays in church. He would sit there and watch those old ladies just a jumping, shouting, and dancing down the church aisle. He would peek out at them from under his momma's arm just to see if they were really filled with the Holy Ghost. It seemed to him they just wanted folk to see them in their new outfits! When Bubba Lee grew up, he became a preacher and had problems with his own flock. After being pastor of Shiloh Community Church for six years, Bubba Lee had about enough. People were mad at each other. Children were being disrespectful to adults. It all brought back memories of when he was a child back in Mississippi. "Dem church folk" were causing more and more problems. Marion W. McKenney was born in Dyersburg, TN. Graduated from Bradley University with a BS in Elementary Education, a minor in English. She currently lives in North Carolina.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the theme of this new volume in the popular annual Pray Now series, is the belief that everyone has a story to tell, no matter what age or stage of life they are at, and that in worship we weave our stories into the bigger story of God. Our stories are shaped by encounters with other people, with the physical world, with the variety of our own experiences and emotions, and with God. This volume offers a dynamic resource for prayer and reflection that will enable a deeper understanding of how all these kinds of encounters shape us. More than seventy short sections, each containing a scripture quotation, prayers for morning and evening, a short meditation, suggested scripture readings and a blessing, explore a rich variety of encounters: • Between Jesus and others in the Gospels - disciples, women, the young, the old, critics, enemies • The people we encounter – friends, neighbours, colleagues, family, strangers, the hostile • Encounters with the physical world – animals, weather, traffic jams, crowded cities, empty spaces • Encounters with ourselves – success, disaster, loneliness, identity, hope, fear, mystery and more • Encounters with God in prayer – how Christians across the centuries, including Julian of Norwich, St Benedict, Martin Luther, Wesley, C S Lewis and others understood and practiced prayer. Stories of Encounter is the Church of Scotland’s theme for 2018 that will inform its worship and its mission throughout the coming year. At its heart is a desire to help people to tell their stories, to share those stories with others and with their communities, to reflect on their journeys of faith and ultimately their stories of encounters with God. This dynamic collection of newly written prayers, meditations and blessings will be a welcome aid for worship, for small group devotions and for personal discipleship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaped by five hundred years of Lutheran impact and with a strong influence of big majority churches, Scandinavian secularity is a very interesting and fruitful material for the historical and contemporary theoretical debate on the secular. It can be discussed, for example, whether the strong position of Human Rights and of the Scandinavian welfare state might be interpreted in continuity with the historical influence of Protestant traditions. Is there something like a hidden sacrality implicit in the Scandinavian secular?
