Lucifer has everything he could ever want - incredible magnetic powers, intellectual strength, and magnificent beauty - but still he wants more. When the Earth is created, Lucifer is overlooked and, in a jealous rage, an evil plan flourishes in his heart, a plan that will strike at the very heart of God through His newly created family. Satan wants the Throne of the Almighty as his own, and demands for himself the loyalty and adoring praise due only to the Creator. This takes the universe to the brink of annihilation. The Earth becomes Lucifer's trophy, won by deception. Mankind is doomed to reflect the traits of the new Commander-in-Chief, Satan, and to die an eternal death. God has a counter plan of His own, but his children have to first accept it. The world is on a mad spiral toward extinction with Satan at the helm until the Divine Plan is put in action. Who will win this devastating war and bring home the trophy? Once Were Angels is the most exciting adventure story of all time, as well as the biggest disaster and greatest rescue, encapsulated in an easy to read, hard-to-put-down book.

Does it seem you just cannot win the battle over the devil? Are you battling the temptation to sin or hiding secret sins from your church and family? Do you find it difficult to participate in church groups or struggle to pray and read the Bible? When we think of deliverance, we think of salvation, but this is only the first step. Deliverance is receiving freedom, and many Christians need freedom from their loaded baggage of sin. We say the sinner’s prayer and we think that’s it—we’ve got our deliverance. But this is just the beginning. Some Christians struggle their whole lives with temptation; they need deliverance, and there are so few deliverance ministries out there. The Holy Spirit Will Deliver You offers hope and guidance toward relief and redemption. With the aid of the Holy Spirit, author Patricia L. Loranger undertook two lengthily spiritual deliverances, in which she cast a large number of evil spirits out of herself. She knows that through the aid of God’s Spirit that dwells within, all believers can set themselves free from the chains that bind them. Based on one woman’s personal experiences and grounded in scripture, this guide provides Christians seeking deliverance with answers and steps to take toward their ultimate freedom.

A six thousand year war rages and now the demonic Fallen are coming for him—the one man shrouded in mystery. Only Validus stands in their way. Validus is the last and least of God’s angels, but he’s seen much across the millennia since his creation. Empires have risen and fallen as angelic and demonic forces battle in a raging war that will determine humanity's fate – and the fate of his defeated brothers. Eventually called to be an earth-bound warrior, Validus rises to a position of power and respect, commanding legions of angels through impossible battles and overwhelming odds. But when orders arrive from the Creator's most elite Messenger, he finds himself suddenly demoted to a task of apparent insignificance considering the fierce war they are waging against the demonic Fallen – the covert protection of one unbelieving man. Validus soon finds himself on a mission that will push him beyond his abilities as he battles to protect Drew Carter, for the Fallen are coming for him. Legions of them. As Validus races against time to discover why Drew is so important to humanity's survival, can he stand between Drew and all who would destroy him?

Beyond Thingification will help you get clear on your church's mission and help your church do ministry that really matters. Leading churches is so much harder than it used to be. You used to be able to grow a church simply by starting one. Or by improving the preaching or the music or the children's ministry. That's just not the case anymore. We try to attract people to our churches with new programs. Occasionally it works. Most of the time it doesn't. That's frustrating! And it makes us feel like failures. Eventually, most of us realize that getting our churches to be bigger and better is not God's top priority. We begin to understand that what God really wants is to heal the world. And we want that, too. We want to help our churches bless our communities and restore shalom in the world. The problem is...it's so hard to know how to do that today. In Beyond Thingification: Helping Your Church Engage in God's Mission, Markus Watson: -Describes the historical background that got us to where we are... -Explores the mission to which all of us have been called, and... -Presents a practical way to discern how God is calling your particular church to participate in the healing of the world. As you and your church read Beyond Thingification and implement what Markus Watson terms "Vocational Connection Groups," you will: -Help your church meaningfully engage in God's mission. -Escape the hamster wheel of doing the same old-but now ineffective-ministry programs. Beyond Thingification will help you move: -From confused about the church's purpose...to clear about the church's mission. -From frustrated about your church's ineffectiveness...to excited about what God is doing through your people. -From distracted by meaningless measures of success...to focused on faithfulness as the true measure of success. If you're ready to get clear on how God is calling your church to engage in the mission of God in your unique context, Beyond Thingification will help you do just that.
