Now Available! From the Church to the Kingdom

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 05:12:46 PST

Well... there sure was a lot I needed to fix. Both fixes in content, from the Lord.
And many editorial fixes through proofing and editing of the text for errors and for ease of reading.... but after going through the book with a fine tooth comb, twice, it is now ready. A great BIG thanks to my mother, who did most of the correcting of spelling and grammatical errors, and also offered many helpful suggestions.

I also got some great feedback from a number of my friends, and I want to thank you all!
I have been told this is a very powerful book. I know it was a powerful experience learning many of these things. And I have many testimonies to go along with it. Praise God!

I just ordered 60 copies of the book for people local in Independence who wish to buy the book directly from me.

Everyone else can purchase the book here:

Husbands and Wives as Ministers to Each Other

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 06:40:27 PST

Chapter 10 of my new book is entitled: "Husbands and Wives as Ministers to Each Other"

It's a little short. Steve, I have your testimony of your wife laying hands on you. Thanks!!!

Anyone and Everyone,
I could use a couple more testimonies where a husband, or a wife, has ministered to their spouse in some significant way, either through healing, or some other way.

If you have a testimony, and wouldn't mind me using is, please send to me asap!!!!

Joel Osteen

Ever heard of Joel Osteen? He did a book signing at my husband's store yesterday- it went really well, and my husband got me a signed copy of his latest book. I've only read a few pages so far, but it seems pretty good. Just wondering if any one else has read his stuff and what you think.

From the Church to the Kingdom

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:05:07 PST

As discussed in another thread, the book on the gift of Healing (which I had begun writing) had become stalled, leading to a bit of a spiritual crisis for me, which resulted in further revelation that this book's topic is broader than that single topic. A title came to me, which was then confirmed by a stranger who called me just minutes after I asked God if this is what He really wanted.

This book kept trying to come out when I wrote God's Strange Act. While it did touch upon this topic a number of times, the true subject of that book was on the gathering tribes.

I wanted to share chapter 1 with you guys. It hasn't really been proofed and edited yet.

Much of this chapter will not be new material for many of you, but I think it is important for potential new readers to be introduced to the topic in this way.

Here it is. Let me know your thoughts, questions, and critiques. God bless!!!

The book chronicles a young Christians search for what real Christianity is supposed to be, and his struggles with what the Church has become since the time of Jesus. In his search, he traveled to India and worked with Mother Teresa, rubbed shoulders with Rich Mullins, and worked extensively with homeless in America. It is a brutal and honest look at Christianity, and his own struggles to define it.

I am about half way through this book, and it has both confirmed many things I have struggled with and questioned myself - and it has also provoked new thought about what we are doing, and what we ought to be doing, and how to go about it.

Book of Mormon Studies

feeds@kickapps.com (disciplet) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 05:01:41 PST

Greetings to all in the name of Christ,

We are putting together a Book of Mormon study here in northern PA and southern NY which will be hosted at the local YWCA. It will start in October. I am putting together a study from various Book of Mormon Study materials. Does anyone have a favorite or preferred study they glean information from? I have the Survey of the Book of Mormon from the RLDS and the Home Seminary course from the LDS church and several smaller studies from the internet. I am open to suggestions that you all might think will add to the study.

In Christ,

Tom

Scattering of the Saints

feeds@kickapps.com (disciplet) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:19:49 PST

I am reading a new book called the Scattering of the Saints: Schism within Mormonism. This was recommended by a friend and it is very good. It is a book by a few authors on the various histories of many independent and splinter groups within the Latter Day Saint tradition. I am reading it to get a better grasp on truly establishing unity among the various groups. I love to read other peoples history so I can see where the common ground is and where past mistakes were made so we can avoid them now.

So if anyone gets a chance I would really recommend it if you want a crash course on the succession crisis and the groups that came out of it.

Peace,

Tom

great book!

Teachings of the Masters of the Far East- vol.1 by Baird T Spalding
there are actually 5 or 6 volumes, but I am currently reading vol. 1. Mr. Spalding was part of a group of 11 men who traveled to India in 1895 and learned from some of the Masters/teachers there. They believe in Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. It is amazing stuff and it explains or expounds on some of the teachings of Christ. Very interesting and thought provoking. Only 175 pages, but you have to keep putting it down to digest what you are reading.
You can find these at Amazon for just a few dollars and they are well worth it!

Do you use Amazon.com? Please help me!

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 07:25:00 PST

Do you use Amazon.com?

If you have an Amazon.com account, and have read any of my books, would you please consider posting a review for those books, and help others in determining whether to give them a try?

I don't know if God moved heaven and earth to do this or not ... but somehow, Lulu, my print-on-demand publisher, has arranged to have all my books now listed on Amazon, for free!
Normally it costs lots of money, and you have to purchase an ISBN, and they then mark it up an additional 45%.
But, instead Lulu will be selling it themselves, through Amazon, at the normal price. This will make the books available to a very large audience.

Check it out.

The book has been proofed, edited, and reviewed by four priesthood members.
It is now ready, and I have uploaded the newest file to the publisher.
It is now available online.

This book is a manual on spiritual warfare with a particular emphasis on deliverance ministry. Jesus came to set the captives free. He died upon the cross and rose again to break the power of the enemy. He ascended to the Father and sent the Holy Ghost to comfort, guide, and empower us to continue the work of liberating souls from the bondage of Satan. That bondage includes demonic addiction, deception, fear, hopelessness,...

They have a ton of books and have done a lot of research- it is pretty interesting stuff. My dad bought a bunch of the down load-able books and I have been listening to them. Has anyone else heard of them? What do you think?

Wow - I'm working on a new book

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 06:50:31 PST

It took me more than 2 years to finish God's Strange Act. It was like I carried this child to term and gave birth to it. I felt like it was the most important thing I had ever done for the Lord. During the last 6 months of working on it I felt like, and actually stated to others, that when this book was done, my work on earth may be done. Having finally seen it come to life, I felt like I would be at peace if the Lord saw fit to take me out of this world.

A brother from Michigan called me about a month ago. He was reading God's Strange Act, and he called me to say that while he was reading, the Lord spoke to him and told him that my work of writing was not done yet, and that I was to write a book on deliverance. When he told me this, it seemed to come out of left field. I had had no indication of that yet, myself. Then, the Lord laid on me two Sermons speaking about spiritual warfare and the tactics of the enemy, I end up getting delivered of a spirit that had...

New Forum to comment on book anonymously

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:07:30 PST

Thought this might have gotten buried in the other thread.

I created a new Forum for reviews, discussions, or comments on the new book.
I did this because it is totally anonymous. You don't have to register, you don't have to put your real name on it, just a name of some kind or a call-sign at the top of the post. You don't have to be a member of this message board to post something.
I'd love to hear from some of you on what you think.

God's Strange Act - Release Announcement

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:17:46 PST

Hello friends and family,

The book I've been working on for 2 years now "God's Strange Act: The Significance of the Tribe of Ephraim and the Restoration of the House of Israel" is nearly complete. I have had two very fine editors going through the book, and we have made a lot of corrections, revisions, and improvements along the way. The final proofing, and some last minute additions and changes are being made at this time, but the book will be available for Christmas this year.

I'm very excited. The Lord has really helped me greatly as we put the finishing touches on it.
Planned release date is no later than December 15th

As soon as it is available, I will supply a link to where it can be obtained.
God bless!!!

One of the Two Witnesses proclaims himself

feeds@kickapps.com (bcoulam) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:23:12 PST

Have any of you read or heard of this Ronald Weinland and his books before? I'm just starting the second one. I think I stumbled on it when looking for other Christian writers that agreed with LDS understanding in that there is no such thing as the Rapture.

The End

This is the website for the Church of God - PKG (Preparing for the Kingdom of God), which Mr. Weinland started. Apparently, this all came out of some Worldwide Church of God that broke up in the mid 90's, with a Herbert Armstrong, as an apostle in it, who they claim was the Elijah prophesied. Now Ronald is proclaiming himself and his wife as the two witnesses.

Interesting stuff, even if only for the extra exercise we get in the gift of discernment.

When God Walked the Earth

feeds@kickapps.com (HopeOfZion) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:47:11 PST

I need to share with you a very short, but remarkable book. After only about 5 hours sleep, I woke up very early (pre-dawn) Sunday morning - feeling like the Lord wanted to spend some time with me. After a period of time in prayer, I opened the book and did not put it down until I had finished it.

I bought it because after seeing reviews from readers saying it had changed their lives, I felt the Spirit leading me that it was exactly what I needed at this time in my spiritual development. I have been seeking a closer, more intimate relationship with the Lord. In particular, I felt the need to get to know and really be converted to Jesus Christ in a deeper more profound way.

The revelation contained in this book is truly a help for this quest.

The book is called: "When God Walked the Earth" by Rick Joyner. Of course,...
