America is in a downward spiral spiritually, morally, and economically. A weakened Church seems to make no impact on society. Is there still hope for America? Yes! Most Christians believe that much prayer is needed for America. But most do not know how to pray in an effective way that will release the power of God on behalf of our nation. Weaving together Scriptures and stories from America’s past With One Cry confronts our current situation, and provides hope for our future. But we, as believers, must pray! Above all, With One Cry will inspire you and equip you to pray God’s purposes for our nation. Will you accept the challenge? Together, as God uses our prayers, the course of our nation and history can be changed.

Are you bewildered by begats? Well, here is a fresh paraphrase of the world's greatest book, now easily readable for children of all ages.

Jeremy Dykman had been serving faithfully as a pastor for many years until 2017 when he could no longer find his joy. When he began to contemplate ending his life, Jeremy knew that he was in trouble. He and his wife checked him into a hospital, where Room 13B became a place of healing for the weary pastor. As he worked through what had led him to that point, Jeremy realized that pastors and others who care for others needed hope, too. In Room 13B: A Pastor’s Journey With Depression, Jeremy opens up about his own struggles with depression and trying to meet others’ expectations while battling his own demons. If you’re a pastor or spiritual leader, this book will bring hope and encouragement to know that you aren’t alone in your struggle. And if you’re someone who is a part of a ministry, this book will give you insight on how to better minister and support those who lead.
