The Mind The mind is that part of us that makes us aware of who we are, what we are, and where we are. Through it, we think, feel, make choices, have desires, collect memories, and discover both our purpose and the tools necessary to accomplish our purpose. It is the seat of our consciousness. It is the most fertile soil that God has ever created. It is so fruitful that whatever seed of desire you plant in itwhether good or badwill reproduce in great abundance. Be careful of the seed you plant. Author Velyn Cooper will help you discover how some people of God and some people used by God experience both negative and positive mind-sets from time to time. This is a clear indication of our imperfections, which may deter us for a while but not hold us hostage forever, if we humble ourselves before God, confess our shortcomings, accept his forgiveness, and move on to the next level of ministry that he has purposed for us to walk in. After reading Renewing Your Mind, Velyn Cooper is certain that you will truly appreciate the fact that transformation is a lifelong process.

Bramwell, the pride of West Virginias southern tip, sprang up almost overnight as a result of the 1800s coal-mining boom. It boasted more millionaires per capita than any other town in this country. These vintage photographs tell of devastation by the 1890 flood and the 1910 fire. In 1957, a warm January caused the Bluestone River to cover Main Street and limited transportation to rowboats. Herein, stories unfold of the early days when coal was king and cash flowed as freely as the river. A few old-timers remember watching the bank janitor as he pushed a cart full of money down Main Street to the train station every week. The bank financed Washingtons Burning Tree Country Club and the University Womens Club. By the start of World War II, Bramwells millionaires were the students attending Bramwell School. This volume includes photo memories showing how the school and community were joined at heart.
