Book Description
In chapter 4 talks about focus on giving God Thanks for Everything. The Holy Spirit led me to further focus on my ancestry, who faithfully served and dedicated themselves to God. They prayed to pave the way for the next generation to be strong, unable to uproot from God’s Word and purpose—to stay focused, faithful, obedient, and serve God in Jesus’ name to the fullest. Focus on God’s Word, and see it come to pass. “And it shall come to pass that when your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your off-spring after you, who will be of your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.” —I Chronicles 17:11 My great-great-grandfather, Elder Aaron Bazemore (in middle); my sister, Angel (far left); and myself, Linda (far right) In Jesus’ name, thank you, Heavenly Father, for answering the prayers of my ancestry and allowing me to see the mantle of God being passed to the next generation and generations to come. Thank you, Lord, for choosing me and my offspring to come. Amen.

Book Description
For the Spirit, being somewhat forgotten is an occupational hazard. The Holy Spirit is so actively involved in our lives that we can take his presence for granted. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Just as we take breathing for granted, we can take the Holy Spirit for granted simply because we constantly depend on him. Like the cane that soon feels like an extension of the blind man’s own body, we too easily begin to think of the Holy Spirit as an extension of ourselves. Yet the Spirit is at the center of the action in the divine drama from Genesis 1:2 all the way to Revelation 22:17. The Spirit’s work is as essential as the Father’s and the Son’s, yet the Spirit’s work is always directed to the person and work of Christ. In fact, the efficacy of the Holy Spirit’s mission is measured by the extent to which we are focused on Christ. The Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who brings the work of the Father, in the Son, to completion. In everything that the Triune God performs, this perfecting work is characteristic of the Spirit. In Rediscovering the Holy Spirit, author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton introduces readers to the neglected person of the Holy Spirit, showing that the work of God’s Spirit is far more ordinary and common than we realize. Horton argues that we need to take a step back every now and again to focus on the Spirit himself—his person and work—in order to recognize him as someone other than Jesus or ourselves, much less something in creation. Through this contemplation we can gain a fresh dependence on the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives.

Book Description
It is written that Jesus Christ is our Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). His name JESUS means one who saves His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). Jesus is Emmanuel, which is translated, God with us (Matthew 1:23). Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1). Jesus is the Christ (Mathew 16:16). Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus is the Son of God (John 1:29). Jesus is the King of Israel (John 1:50). Jesus is the precious cornerstone (Isaiah 28:16). Jesus is the Man of Sorrows (Isaiah 53:3), Jesus is our High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens (Hebrews 8:1). Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End (Revelation 1:8). Jesus is the bread of life (John 6:35). Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12). Jesus is the gate (John 10:9). Jesus is the good shepherd (John 10:11). Jesus is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25). Jesus is the true vine (John 15:1). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Jesus is GOD (John 1:1).These reflections are about the names and titles of Jesus Christ. In searching the scriptures, I found out early on in my faith that our focus should be on the names of Jesus Christ. God the Father and God the Holy Spirit have given God the Son, Jesus Christ, ultimate authority, kingdom and dominion over all human beings and creation. For sometime now I've prayed to God to give me grace to write and reflect about the names of Jesus Christ. My passion began simply by reading the gospel and epistles of John. When I read Paul's letter to Ephesians, I noted intentional repetition of the name of Jesus Christ. I learnt a lot from Paul's writings and I'm trusting the Holy Spirit of God to give me knowledge, understanding and wisdom to write about the precious names of Jesus Christ. I also learnt a great deal from the writings and teachings of C.H. Spurgeon, John Piper, C.S. Lewis, John MacArthur, R. C. Sproul and several other writers that our focus should be the names and titles of Jesus Christ and the glory of God alone. As I write this book, I aim to use the bible as my main source and I simply bring into focus the names of Jesus Christ.

Book Description
"To my readers I would say that, although the main subject of the tripartite nature of man is such a controversial one, this book is not entered as a part of the controversy. Such a course would only be to contradict its main contention—that Divine things can only be entered into by revelation and never by reason. Indeed, I have no wish that anyone should read this book unless they are really exercised about reality and spiritual things. I would ask for openness of heart as the one concession to the Spirit of truth if, peradventure, He might be ready to use what is written here for enlightenment. "The book goes out with a prayer which comes from long ago, 'that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; having the eyes of your heart enlightened' (Eph. 1:17)."
