This book brings to life the struggles that black people, especially in the Deep South, had to endure at the hands of a white society that relegated them to second-class citizenship. Against all odds, many southern blacks were able to rise above hatred and bigotry. This book traces the life of a black clinical psychologist as he makes his northern migration and encounters even a deeper form of racial hatred and bigotry. This book touches the core of one's soul and will change your heart in a way that you've never imagined.
God, Nimrod, and the World presents the perspectives of more than two-dozen authors on the controversial sport of hunting, surveying the relationship between the blood sport and the salvation religion of Christianity. The first half of the book provides sketches of the diverse interpretations of hunting in Hebrew and Christian cultures of the last two millennia, finally giving voice to those in the field who are both practitioners and persons of faith. The second half offers prescriptions for the place of hunting in the life of contemporary Christians, with perspectives arguing for prohibition to those contending that hunting has a practical, even perfecting, place in the life of faith. The contributors, who hail from North America and the United Kingdom, include biblical scholars, theologians, philosophers, ethicists, historians, and sociologists, as well as professional athletes, celebrity hunters, teachers, musicians, healthcare professionals, and a soldier.

It's the reason behind most mental health issues. It's the secret behind jealousy, fear, and anger. Depression, anxiety, and PTSD all entail a major problem that is not being discussed, and that is unhealthy self-esteem. Depression, anxiety, and PTSD are symptoms of a deeper issue: unhealthy self-worth. Depression does not cause insecurity; it's the other way around. Anxiety does not cause feelings of inferiority; it's the other way around. The Lord Jesus Christ had something to say about how we see ourselves and our mental health. Jesus wants us to be more than self-confident; Jesus Christ had something better in mind. Jesus Christ wants us Christ-confident.

Walk On finds the reader trapped in the Valley of Despair. The question of the centuries, “What hope is there for me during my pain and sorrow?” will resonate in the heart of every reader. Ron Bracy, the author of Walk On, uses the writings of the ancient Hebrew prophet Habakkuk as a roadmap to guide the reader out of the Valley of Despair. Bracy starts with Habakkuk’s failure to understand why there is so much pain and evil in the world—a question asked every day by everyone. He then leads the reader through the verses of the prophet’s book and explores various roads which people take to find a way out of their Valley of Despair. In the end, Walk On reveals there is only one road that will lead a person from the Valley of Despair to the Mountaintop of Praise. You, the reader, must find that road!
