What is a gift worth? Does it depend on the gift itself or on what the gift means to the person receiving it? An uplifting short story about an unwanted gifts' impact in the lives of the ones that encounter the gift. These lives experienced life-altering circumstances that thrust them into the depths of despair, where they remained. The gift reveals a new hope and so, the choice is theirs; to stay where they are, or to receive the gifts' inspiration to finally live.
Many, including those who profess the Christian faith, don't have a thorough understanding of what Jesus taught on certain issues. Many seem to think that Christianity supports racism, condones slavery and the oppression of women. I wrote this book to shed light on the truth about what Jesus taught and delve into the issues that affect our society today as much as it did 2,000 years ago. This book focuses on the influence and legacy of Jesus' life and teachings, particularly on topics such as; Women, Slavery, Racism, Politics, Ethics & Morality, Love and Religion. I delve into the not-so-obvious truths that might otherwise be overlooked. I also explain the meaning and context of some of the questionable passages that seem to contradict Jesus' teachings. While Jesus is both divine and human, I focus on Jesus–the man–his human side, appealing to people of all faiths and none.
Who is God? What is He like? Is He distant? Does He care? In this brief, yet informational book, I shed light on the character of God; how He relates to us; and touch on some of the most searching questions about God. Yes, God is mysterious but when you look into the scriptures, the Bible, you see just how much God has revealed Himself to humanity, especially through Jesus. There is more than enough scriptural evidence to show who God is, His character, and His concern and love for all of humanity. God is not a distant deity that has zero interest in His creation. Quite the opposite, He very much wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives to the smallest detail. This book is heavily backed by scripture, incorporating logical reason and existential evidence. There are an endless number of words and phrases to describe God, the one He wants us to refer to Him the most, as shown by Jesus, is father.
