Book Description
Are you ready to live a new life? Some say “time heals everything,” but I’ve found this is not true—it’s what you do with that time. Just passing time with the same old hurts and mindset does nothing to heal you. In fact, it may make it worse! Are you stuck in a place where your mind and heart are full of betrayal, grief, loss, or hopeless existence? Consider the areas of your life that could be transformed by an attitude of celebration, and make a determined choice to celebrate at every opportunity. Psalms 30:5 (KJV) says that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” By God’s grace, this book will show you how to move forward and begin to live again in a new chapter of life.

Book Description
Many refer to the Book of Revelation as the book of the Tribulation. However, in reality, it is the time for the coronation of King Jesus. Many people ask why God keeps Satan on the earth, but are afraid to read the Book of Revelation which is an account of when Jesus does finally remove him from the earth. The Book of Revelation is the only book where God ensures a blessing to those who read it. Gods plan was always to know Him and dwell with Him. God has been long suffering as He has given every opportunity to every generation to come to Him and make their dwelling place with Him (Col 1:23). No one knows the day or the time when Christ will come for His Church (Mt 24:36), but that will be the time of the Book of Revelation. The Greek word for Revelation is apokalypsis and means an unveiling. The word is singular; only one person is revealed: Christ. Throughout the New Testament we saw Jesus as our Savior, but now He comes to rule the world. It is only now that Jesus receives His inheritance as the King of the Kingdom of God. The Church, the bride of Christ, will rule and reign with King Jesus throughout the Millennium. The bride will share in the inheritance of King Jesus. This book has an overview in the introduction, and before each chapter, to understand how everything fits chronologically in time sequence. The intent is that it is easy to read and the focus is to see the big picture before the details are explained. All Scripture in Revelation is included, as well as Scriptures within the Bible that prophesy each event that will occur.

Book Description
We believe the Lord is saying that now is the time to celebrate the victories that the Body of Christ will fulfill. This mission is for the Bride of Christ to believe the prophets and prophetic words that have been put forth, and to celebrate the victory of heaven before seeing the results. We believe that those who truly learn to joyfully celebrate what the Lord is going to do will experience an acceleration of victory and breakthrough. We believe that this book will be a pivotal prophetic declaration over our lives. We encourage you to dig deep into the heart of the Father and receive a revelation of victory in Jesus. 2 Chronicles 20:15 says, "Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God's." As we learn to submit ourselves to this faith-filled celebration of the unseen victory, we will experience God going before us and fighting our battles. When you fight for joy in the Holy Spirit, God fights for your prosperity.

Book Description
Author Jerry Smith lays out a unique presentation for understanding God's plan of the ages; a "birds eye view," as he calls it. With his outline from Genesis to Revelation the reader can visualize the unfolding drama of the Apocalypse and the triumphant return of Jesus Christ. Author Jerry Smith began to discover early in his thirty plus year tenure as a pastor that most people are confused instead of comforted by end-time and apocalyptic teachings. He has outlined for every layman and Bible student a simple "skeleton" and framework for understanding God's plan of the ages so that we don't have to be confused. Going from the original creation to the new creation he displays the different ages and dispensations and shows how they form a pattern to help us understand the greatest revelation of all - the return of Jesus Christ. Included are original charts drawn by the author and a concise commentary on the book of Revelation. Whether you hold to a certain millennial or rapture view or not, this material is designed to give you a framework to build your own viewpoint. It is recommended reading for every true believer in Jesus.

Book Description
"While physical training has some value, training in holy living is useful for everything. It has promise for this life now and the life to come." ~ 1 Timothy 4:8 Christians crave a deeper, more intimate relationship with God. Spiritual disciplines are activities and practices that guide you in your daily walk through life bringing you closer to Christ. They also help you to make a difference in our world. Practicing these spiritual disciplines opens you to God's transforming love and help you experience Holy Living. The act of celebration has deep and ancient roots among God's people, who throughout their history have joyfully celebrated God's deliverance and faithfulness. In life's high and happy moments, celebration happens naturally. But what about when life's experiences are dull and flat, or worse, when they cause us to hit rock bottom? Does God expect us to celebrate then? God does, and we can. The Healing Practice of Celebration explores celebration not as an isolated event or an occasional occurrence but as a response to the reality that God is continually present, always faithful, and ever loving. Celebration as a spiritual practice involves a posture of living so well-anchored in the fuller story of God’s involvement with people throughout history that anticipatory faith and hope, regardless of present circumstances, inform our thoughts, words, and actions. This book shows us how to embrace and live into this posture.
