Maine uske trikese kiya Hindi -...

Elizabeth Dias

If spiritual progress is your goal, then there is no substitute for the word of God. We have intertwined our divine prosperity with physical, financial, and sentimental achievements. We must follow that which is fundamental.
You do not need to know how to think or how to act. Success requires listening to the still small voice of God and following His instructions. What makes things happen is obedience to His Word.
When He asked me to write this, I became His author because He asked me to write what He did when I obeyed.
People asked me to write this book, but I said no, I did not want people to know me, but I wanted them to know the Lord.
One afternoon a friend came over and brought some of her friends I had never met.
I did not know that one of them was a prophetess, and as she began to pray for me, she prophesied that I would finish the book that I had started and that it would give glory to God.
Now, during that time, I was very sick. However, negative thoughts kept me from moving forward and the book forgot me.
So when the prophetess said that the book would give glory to God and not to me, it completely changed my mind.
Many things have also prevented you from moving forward because of the liar, Satan, I learned that fear, twisting the word of God, and telling us the opposite of what God wants for us is the mastermind technique of the devil.
What will result from your listening to God instead of the liar? All things are possible. If I can do it, so can you.
May this book lead you to God's higher plan for you to receive all the blessings that can only come from Him.
God is the Author and I am just the humble vessel, He even gave me the title, I did it His way. All glory to God!
I Did It His Way

No More Secrets - From Hurt...

Centered on a poem written in the depth of his darkness, this honest portrayal illuminates a hurt that many harbor inside. After years of attempting to cover, reconcile, and cope with years of abuse, frail lies tied to alcohol and drugs pointed to his death.

Awake! - William Blake and the...

Mark Vernon

In the 200 years since Blake's death, the visionary artist, poet, and writer has become a household name, often beloved. Yet many struggle to comprehend his kaleidoscopic ideas; how they speak to human longings and the challenges of living in anxious times.Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon provides a fresh route into Blake, taking him at his word. Exploring this brilliant thinker's passionate writings, arresting artworks, and fascinating life, Vernon illuminates Blake's vivid worldview. Like us, he lived in a tumultuous era of war, discontent, rapid technological change, and human estrangement from nature. He exposed the dark sides of political fervor and social moralizing, while unashamedly celebrating love and liberty. But he also conversed with prophets and angels, and was powerfully, if unconventionally, religious. If we take this seriously—not easy, in secular times—then Blake can help us to unlock the transformative power of imagination.Written for both longstanding fans and those unfamiliar with his work, Awake! reveals Blake as an invigorating and hopeful guide for our modern age.
