Not since the Revolution has our nation faced greater challenges or more potential for total collapse. America is hanging by a thread. Politics have failed; government policies are disastrous; corruption abounds; the dollar is fading; courts are abandoning the Constitution; morality has been lost ... and the majority of citizens are dreadfully silent. The light from “the city on a hill” has grown dim. The question is, “Will it go out?”

One thing is certain: now is the time for action! America originated from an ideal unlike anything previous, consisting of “We the people” and the foundation of “under God.” Tragically, the Founders’ vision has become unrecognizable today. Hence, under God, we the people have a sacred responsibility to be good citizens involved in preserving the moral and political purity of our republic. In fact, our system of government does not work without involvement from the people, so to be disengaged at this critical hour must be considered un-American and unacceptable.

Another “revolution” is desperately needed if America is to be salvaged, and the sacrificial commitment of our forefathers will be required. Today the enemy is not the British; we are the problem ... but we are also the solution!

It’s Now or Never provides a path for reclaiming America. By clearly identifying the key issues that are destroying our nation’s core, this book sets forth essential steps each citizen can take to help regain our country and become a part of the solution. The light of America can shine again. Your role is vital, but you must act quickly—it’s now or never!

What if everything you heard was wrong?

There are countless theories and discussions about Jesus of Nazareth. Critics of Christianity usually discount the Gospel records and discount the claims of Jesus being the unique Son of God. They insist that Jesus was a failed revolutionary, a misguided carpenter, or a myth created by his followers.

What if it was true?

The Gospel record tells a radically different story. In it Jesus boldly proclaims himself to be deity—the Son of God—and announces that his life was not just for inspiration, but for a distinct purpose.

Is it true?

A Jamaican’s Journey to Time and Patience is Derrick Garland Coy’s portrait of his multiethnic family whose African, Chinese, and European roots merge in Jamaica during the 1800s, then scatter across the globe in the mid 1900s, sending him on an odyssey to discover and fulfill God’s call in his life, heal family wounds, and share Christ’s message of redeeming grace and love.

Against the historical background of 470 years of Spanish and British colonial rule over Jamaica and the island’s journey to independence, Derrick weaves stories of the various lives of his forebears and tells his own life story: born to a briefly married thirteen-year-old mother and nineteen-year-old father, her struggles as a teenage single mother, her love affairs with British soldiers stationed in Jamaica, and her turbulent marriage to an alcoholic Irish university professor who moves the family to Hong Kong, Trinidad, and finally to Australia.

Derrick also shares his own journey—his early years in Jamaica, struggles in school, teenage rebellion and hatred for his parents, his dramatic conversion to Jesus Christ and call to ministry as a pastor and filmmaker, two failed marriages, straying from his Christian calling, and returning to faith in and service to Jesus Christ.

It’s an encouraging story of learning to trust and obey God in the midst of hardships, setbacks, and failures.

As one of the most fascinating and sensational personalities, J. Frank Norris, has become a forgotten figure of the twentieth century, as many people today have never heard of him. This fascinating true story takes you from his poverty as a child to the pastor of the largest church in America where he later became friend of presidents and giants of industry.

“I would love to have known him personally. He (J. Frank Norris) was a great, positive influence and wonderful example for pastors.”
— Dr. Charles Stanley, pastor of First Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, and founder of In Touch Ministries

“J. Frank Norris, without a doubt, in my own thinking, was the greatest preacher of the twentieth century and I knew a good many of the great ones…he stood head and shoulders above all of them.”

— Dr. John Rawlings, The Rawlings Foundation Administrator

“The life of J. Frank Norris was filled with stories of adventure, courage, faith and danger—the stuff from which legends are made. He met opposition head on and did not fear any man.”
—Dr. Homer Ritchie, author and evangelist

“During the first half of the Twentieth Century J. Frank Norris was the most dynamic, controversial, and successful pastor of that era. There will never be another like him.”
—Dr. James O. Combs, Provost, Louisiana Baptist University

American civilians who were on the home front during World War II would each have different stories to tell. With most, almost certainly their stories would not be as dramatic as the stories of many of those who lived in the battle zones of Europe and the Far East. Despite the difference, there would be many moving stories to tell of Americans who lost loved ones or received them home wounded or tarnished in some way by the war. Our parents welcomed us home untarnished, but changed by our experiences.

Our stories range from the intense action of combat flying that Don experienced to the more ordinary action of flight training that both of us went through. We hope that the older reader will find in this book some things familiar to their experiences, and to those who were not living during this period in our history, may they find some of the limited history in this book to be of interest to them.

Does your situation seem hopeless? Do you feel like your back is against the wall? Have you ever faced financial difficulties like bankruptcy, selling your house, taxes, or struggled with no money left for groceries after paying the bills? Are you in need of God’s favor? God has the answer for every situation you’re facing in life. There is no problem that is too difficult for Him. He can make a way, where there seems to be no way. No matter how big or small your problem is, when the world says it can’t be done, God says it can! If you’ll just believe that all things are possible with Him.

Learning to Walk by Faith Not by Sight is a collection of true stories about difficult and challenging situations in my life where God took the impossible and made it possible. May you draw encouragement and hope from these stories to overcome whatever trials you may be going through.

“

God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
—Ephesians 3:20

Did Mary keep a journal? We know she kept one in her heart, but what if she had only written her account of the activities of her son’s ministry? What insights might we gain through her conversations with the weary travelers who stopped at the carpentry shop to discuss Jesus’ actions?

Through Mary’s conversations with the people who received some of these miracles, we are given a new point of view of the environment at that time, and the background of the people involved.

Were the scribes and Pharisees, and even Jesus’ brothers, justified in their condemnation of Jesus’ teaching? Did Mary ever doubt her son’s actions even though she knew He was conceived by the Holy Spirit? Her journal entries provide possible answers to questions often asked of Jesus’ ministry.

Mary even introduces a few new miracles that were not included in the scriptures. As John tells us in 21:25, “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.”

This heartwarming rendition of Jesus’ ministry through the eyes of His mother provides a fresh perspective to some very old stories.

Forever and Always tells of the ups and downs of the freshly discovered love of a young couple, Patricia Heifelmeyer and John McDougal, at the end of the Civil War. The location of the book is New Orleans Parish, the year of our Lord 1864. The war was almost over.

By now, the entire eating area of the cabin was engulfed in flames, which were quickly making their way to the door. If they didn’t get out soon, there would be no chance of escape. Sparks flew everywhere; the heat was intense, the smoke blinding.

"We can do it, Johnny," Trish said reassuringly, hoping that he didn’t hear the terror in her voice. Holding the twins tightly, covering their faces with a blanket from the bed, the four of them began their walk of terror through the fiery cabin to the safety awaiting them outside. John didn’t have to be told to hold on to his mother’s skirt; he wasn’t about to let go. Slowly, carefully, they walked the thin path to safety.

Love, laughter, learning, mystery, secrecy, and murder are all woven throughout the pages of this book. The American Civil War raged from 1861 until 1865 and claimed more than 600,000 lives. Is John McDougal among their number?

Even though many people have heard or read stories from the Bible, they have never really understood how it all fits together.
