Ida B. Wells was a powerful churchwoman and witness for justice and equity from 1878 to 1931. Born enslaved, her witness flowed through the struggles for justice in her lifetime, especially in the intersections of African Americans, women, and those who were poor.

There is a big difference between being set free and living free. How do I know what to do with my life? How do I hear God's voice? Maybe the answer is easier than we think.

He led them without revealing the whole picture because he wanted them to follow by faith.

Most pastors pray for a healthy and vibrant church, but many find themselves frustrated because they lack direction and feel as though they are spinning their wheels. They struggle to correct unhealthy patterns or do not have fresh vision for their ministry. John K. Jenkins can relate. The first church he attended is best described as a shack with a bell and a steeple. When he accepted his first senior pastoral role, he ministered to 35 people on a good Sunday. Today, Pastor Jenkins welcomes more than 11,000 worshipers to Sunday services, and thousands more participate virtually.

These messages were recorded by Anne, a lay apostle in May through September 2004. They contain messages from Jesus and also Anne's recordings of mystical experiences she was given. In this volume Jesus seeks to pull us close to his heart. But in this time, Jesus is suffering with so many souls living their lives far away from him, so those close to him will suffer as well with Jesus. He invites us to rest in his heart so that he may show us his pain and his joy. He does this through his messages in this volume.

Insist that Christ is Lord, and you divide the world. While most societies acknowledge God in some way or another, Christ as Lord is not so universally honored. For Christians, this matter should be settled. Christ is Lord and Savior - but many Christians have little or no idea of the meaning of this simple statement or its implications for our day-to-day lives. Sixty years after its first publication, the message of The Lordship of Jesus Christ is still needed.

It is countercultural. It is often costly. It is the way of Christ. In this biblical yet highly practical audiobook, Tim Tucker shows how Christ-centered servant leadership has helped the message become one of the fastest growing mission movements of the 21st century.

This book is a prophetic vision of the end-times church. By comparing biblical accounts of Zerubbabel, Haggai, Zechariah, and Melchizedek, with recent global events, this book unlocks biblical secrets regarding these last days, preparing you to walk in the fullness of your destiny. The call is clear: If the people of God are to bring about outpouring and revival, we must learn to function in our biblical roles as priests and kings, ministering before the Lord and boldly carrying His Kingdom into society.

You can change the world - one life at a time. Most of us enjoy a quality of life that much of the world could not even imagine. It's easy to live unaffected by the injustices and impossible realities on the other side of the world. The truth is, we know we should help those less fortunate than us, but when the faces of those who suffer are distant and the need feels so overwhelming, where do we start? Where can we make the most impact?

Y es que en su búsqueda de satisfacción, muchos hombres han perdido el significado de la hombría, rindiendo sus ideales por cosas inmorales, ilegales, irresponsables y sin ningún tipo de ética. De allí que hoy sea más necesario que nunca que se levanten hombres de valor, integridad y de verdadera hombría, que se paren firmes ante el avance del mal y superen las filosofías peligrosas que se expanden como un virus.
