  In Acts 2:17, the Lord says He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, in the last days, and the result would be young men seeing visions and old men dreaming dreams. THE LAST DAYS-TIME TO PIERCE THE VEIL There is a veil covering the physical eyes and our spiritual understanding. from seeing invisible things, even though, these invisible things are in existence. Some people do not believe, at all, in this existence, but this doesn’t stop them from being in existence. Only when this veil is torn or pierced, can we get to see these things. The Bible is full of men who pierced this veil. Elisha could see in this realm. When the Syrian army surrounded him, and his servant, he had to pray for his servant’s eyes to be opened, so he could see the chariots of fire encamped around them. On, earth, our inner vision, which causes the brain to see pictures, at night, can perceive some of these happenings in the invisible world.

In this book, Steve Farrar addresses Christian men who want to run the Christian race and finish well. Part One: The Priority of Finishing Strong Chapter One: One Out of Ten Steve starts with the stories of three rookie evangelists who started out in ministry in the year 1945. They were Billy Graham, Chuck Templeton, and Bron Clifford. They were all vibrant young ministers on fire for God. However, from the natural look of things, most would have expected Templeton and Clifford to turn out better than Billy Graham because they were finer preachers. However, by 1950, Templeton had left the ministry and no longer even believed the validity of Christ's claims. And by 1954, Clifford was done in by alcohol and financial irresponsibility. Only Billy Graham stayed strong until the end. For a Christian, how you finish is much more important than how you started out. A Christian man is in ministry full-time. He says if a man finishes strong, it will only be because he has tapped into streng

This book is about women who spoke out, those who chose not to, and the nuances of those who did and why.

Who Moved My Cheese? is a fictional story filled with a lot of lessons about making decisions in response to change. Change is inevitable, as some say, but our response to change will go a long way in determining whether we blame people for our failures or move with the change and win. The story unfolds as a group of friends meet for their college reunion and reminisce over their lives after college. One of them tells this story to illustrate the lessons he had learned and imbibed. There were two mice; Sniff and Scurry, and two very little humans; Hem and Haw. The humans had complex brains and had the ability to analyze difficult stuff, while the mice just used their instincts to navigate through life. Every day, they leave their homes searching through a maze to find cheese, which they hoped would bring them joy and success. Hem and Haw were not searching for just any cheese, but a very different kind of cheese. But Scurry and Sniff would use the trial-and-error method to find their
