Witness the power of prayer right before your eyes. As a young black male walking in the world, being deceived and deprived from his true identity, this young male was born poor in the city of Chicago, providing for his needs being a mid-time drug dealer which brought him bad friendships, many enemies, and broken relationships. Because of the philosophy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which is not spoken as its written in the Bible, he turns to the creator for clarity in his spirit. And he found the treasure of life for all humanity. But the lustfulness for the world through his free will was a battle within. But through all the obstacles and difficulties, we will see that it really takes a village to raise a child. And that child has to overcome the world, becoming a man with the deepest purpose of life. He has fallen to the Earth to bring the truth in hidden messages in the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ from the kingdom of heaven onto the earth, for all of the Heavenly Father and stars of the world.

Living in Love and Faith sets out to inspire people to think more deeply both about what it means to be human, and to live in love and faith with one another. It tackles the tough questions and the divisions among Chri...

Is God still doing miracles today? "This book tells the story of how God is still working miracles. It's a miniature modern version of the Israelites escape from Egypt which declares that rescue is still happening!" --Warren Otter, retired pastor of United Methodist Church "We are blessed to know firsthand the heart, love, faith, and compassion of Joseph and Ana Chimbanda. God blessed them in their time of need, and they have never stopped giving back. This book is about miracles and never giving up, a must read." --Tom and Linda Davies, Members of Noblesville First United Methodist Church "Knowing Ana and Joseph Chimbanda and working with them in the United Methodist Church in the Denver metro, I was inspired by their exuberant work of expanding the mission work in our area." --Karen Bueno, retired teacher "The Chimbanda's narrative describes struggles, despair, and other life challenges. Yet though it all their solace was through their faith in Jesus Christ who brought love for all and hope into their hearts so they could conquer every hurtle and make a difference in the lives of all they touched." --W. Michael Ainley, Ph.D.
This book offers a comprehensive and lively look at the Christian faith by internationally-respected theologian, Colin Gunton. Distilling a lifetime's experience of teaching and thought, this is a book for those who wish to understand the meaning and relevance of the fundamental beliefs of Christianity.

No other book offers such a comprehensive, systematic and accessible overview of the Christian faith. It will prove invaluable to students of introductory theology, as well as anyone interested in the fundamental claims of Christianity.
