Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say he would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. Who was he—really? And how can you know for sure? Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger. Join him as he asks the tough, pointed questions you’d expect from an award-winning legal journalist. If Jesus really was God in the flesh, then there ought to be credible evidence, including Eyewitness Evidence—Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted? Scientific Evidence—What does archaeology reveal? Profile Evidence—Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God? Fingerprint Evidence—Did Jesus uniquely match the identity of the Messiah? The Case for Christmas invites you to consider why Christmas matters in the first place. Somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth. It may be more compelling than you’ve realized. Weigh the facts . . . and decide for yourself.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

While it is now some 26 years later, it becomes perfectly clear that this book was to be written on God's timeline - and that time is now.

Sadly, I have learned this book is more than an extreme and overwhelming truth. Unfortunately, the world that I thought I knew is as bogus as a three-dollar bill, for real! Development of certain science technology placed excessive wickedness into the stratosphere. Unfortunately, it will eventually lead the world down a perilous path and to their doomsday clock. You will discover some of the most maddening saga of deception such as hidden trust, and how they are using manipulation on a grand scale for everyone around the world. There are BIG lies that they use to twist your minds. This deliberate agenda is calculated towards major deceit with grimaced and hollered corruption. You will also discover how the intentional plan was deliberately done in secrecy; so that it would be unknown to you. Yet, from the day you were born, it had been sitting on your doorstep. You shall come to know these heinous misleading acts are done by a few men. These very few men are the real shakers who run the world. With that in mind, it would leave you on the side of the road scratching your head, but "hopefully" that should be a good thing, which will leave you spiraling over into the hands of our creator, God. This gut-wrenching truth and darkness of infidel are perpetrated from the political occult and the secrecy from the elite should awaken you from your sleep and open your eyes. Not only will you realize you have been miss-led and blinded, you would learn they used the force of mind control, basically, to control your way of living on a daily basis. Also without awareness they instigated slavery in their course of action by subliminal messages through TV, movies, music and religion to keep you from having self-preservation. Now the all seeing eye and Big Brother is minding your business at every streetlight and corner. Yes, I said it, you have no privacy and pretty soon the constitution will be torn to shreds as if it never existed. That is just the beginning to what is to come. These infamous few men are empowered by the occult world of pure evil and selfish greed. In addition, their actions are to corroborate a sinister plot that is to annihilate or sweep away billions of Gods children. Their goal is to rule over no more than 500,000,000 million people. This way they can have more control over the population. The ending results would lead the world into the NWO (New World Order). Now is the time to get your house in order and to save your soul. Because of the anatomy of knowledge and wisdom, you will understand the truth from God. In addition, the truth is relating imperative messages that only He delivers in His novel. Romans 15:13 13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 61 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captive and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lords favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zionto bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness Instead of mourning and a garment of praise Instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called the oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild an ancient ruin and restore the places long devastated they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Aliens will Shepard your flocks; foreigners will work your field and vineyards. And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God you will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.

This beautiful women's devotional will delight and encourage you in your daily faith walk, as though you are hearing messages straight from God Himself through His Word.
