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.
Symbols of the Christian Faith is an illustrated guide to the major visual symbols used by the Christian church throughout history. These stylized illustrations, designed by artist Alva William Steffler, are intended to provide usable, up-to-date resources for contemporary church worship and Christian education. Throughout church history symbols have been used to aid worship and to communicate difficult spiritual ideas.

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...
