Weaving together information from official sources and personal interviews, Barbara Tomblin gives the first full-length account of the US Army Nurse Corps in the Second World War. She describes how over 60,000 army nurses, all volunteers, cared for sick and wounded American soldiers in every theater of the war, serving in the jungles of the Southwest Pacific, the frozen reaches of Alaska and Iceland, the mud of Italy and northern Europe, or the heat and dust of the Middle East.

Psalms 9:10 says those who know His name shall put their trust in Him. What is it about the name of God that brings trust? In this book, Ebenezer Afolabi will help you get acquainted with the names of God, teach you how to tap into the wonder-working power inherent in the names of God and why God would do everything to honour His name among His people. One good thing this book will also do for you is that, it will open up the channels of your spirit and launch you into the realm of the supernatural.

Despite protests and warnings from friends and family, author Madeleine L’Engle, at the age of seventy-four, embarked on a rafting trip to Antarctica. Her journey through the startling beauty of the continent led her to write Penguins and Golden Calves, a captivating discussion of how opening oneself up to icons, or everyday “windows to God,” leads to the development of a rich and deeply spiritual faith.

About the book: Are you struggling with depression, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts, or homosexual tendencies? The modern world has offered us a lot of great advancements.

It can seem as though today's culture encourages weakness, not strength. And this attitude has crept into the church: Don't take a strong position of faith. Don't take a strong view of evangelism. Don't maintain strong moral values. Yet God's people are called to be soldiers, and to fight for His cause and kingdom. Based on the book of Joshua, Be Strong is an inspiring guide to pursuing a victorious life. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe's best-selling "BE" commentary series, Be Strong has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh.

Pope Francis inspires us with his amazing gift of writing about doctrinal issues with a pastor’s love for the people of God. He combines the two with honesty and tenderness and asks the bishops and pastors of the Church to do the same. Without giving new rules or even changing the old ones he asks us to make decisions based on local situations and mitigating factors through a discernment process which includes the internal forum, a concept long held in the church but jealously guarded by those in authority, that is, the hierarchy.

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.

Galatians is the clearest letter for distinguishing the difference between “prophecy” and “mystery.” The Lord Jesus Christ has two ministries: one on earth to Israel as recorded in the four gospels and early Acts, and the other from heaven to the Body of Christ as recorded in Romans to Philemon. The Galatians had “fallen from grace” and gone back under the law. This legalistic error is prevalent among Christians today. This error prevents believers from functioning as God intends them to and from rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

"The Great Chapter One’s in the Old Testament and the Questions they Answer," is a thought-provoking journey and comprehensive study of God’s Word based on Chapter One of nine books in the Old Testament. Matthew Henry Commentary is used to study Scripture and answer questions. Faith and obedience are the essential requirements to please God. We have two choices of material consequence: FOLLOW the course of the world or FOLLOW the Word of God. God is Holy and cannot tolerate Sin. Hypocrisy in religion is of all things most abominable to God in heaven. There are 170 questions to answer ...

Delve into a verse by verse study of the book of Genesis from a prophetic perspective. The Morning Light Bible Study Commentary is an expositional inquiry of the book of Genesis. Topical messages have their place but when you read and study the word of God in the expositional method, chapter by chapter you gain access to a level of narrative and inspiration you won't get any other way. In studying the book of Genesis it is so important to get a good grounding because if doctrinal drift occurs here the bible student will fall far afield from the central truths and tenets of scripture. If you...

The fourth edition of this book has been written to clean up some of the poorly worded text in the first three editions and to show important Bible verses rather than just refer to them. An effort has also been made to convert previously used first person speech with more formal third person speech. In looking at the second chapter of the epistle of James, this standalone book considers authorship, the date that the whole epistle was written, and the basis for its acceptance into the biblical canon. With a strong focus on the Greek language, the goal has also been to perform good exegesis ...
