What a pleasure to commend the Miracles of Jesus to you. Two millennia ago God revealed Himself to man through the incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ, using miracles to convey the truth of Christ’s identity as God in the flesh to all mankind. I am grateful to my friend and Sunday school classmate, Cheryl, for bringing these miracles to the fore of our hearts, minds, and souls, for God’s revelation to man continues to this day. Hebrews 2:1-4. Through both devotional and scripture study, Cheryl takes us on a journey to examine Christ, the living God, as He impacted the world during His brief years of earthly ministry, and as He impacts the world today, offering the exclusive gift of salvation to all who would believe. I am grateful that God placed Cheryl and me on a journey together that crossed paths for a number of years at Bethany Baptist Church in Peoria, Illinois. Cheryl and her husband, Tom, were always faithful members of the church, bible studies, choir, Sunday school, and committed themselves to the body of Christ in fellowship with their brothers and sisters. It is a joy to witness Cheryl spreading her love for the Lord through this expression of her saving faith in Jesus Christ. I know that Cheryl’s love for the Lord has driven and empowered her to produce this devotional/study, and it is her singular desire that all may grow in their faith through the study of Christ’s miracles. Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing your gifts with us, and for your love for Jesus which touches each of these pages.

I have known Cheryl Sharpe for several years and found her to be a wonderful Christian lady. She is giving of her time and talents to those in need and never asks for anything in return. I worked with her on the movie the Champion, where she again served with the utmost integrity. She is a loving wife to her husband, Tom. She certainly has a servant’s heart and is a fine model for young ladies to follow.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Cheryl over the past several years. We have enjoyed friendship, Sunday school fellowship, as well as serving in several ministries together. I am so excited to see her beautiful work in print. She has been given such a gift from the Lord and now she is using it for His glory. I know it will be a blessing to all who read it.

I was excited to hear that Cheryl was writing a devotional on the miracles of Jesus. For the believer, Jesus’ miracles are a constant reminder of his supreme power while foreshadowing the greatest of his miracles: Christ’s death and resurrection. Cheryl does a terrific job in guiding the reader on this journey into Jesus’ life and lordship, illustrating the importance of Jesus’ miracles and their significance to the gospel.
Last summer, I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl on the movie Champion. Champion is a story of faith and fatherhood as the lives of two men intersect - each struggling to find forgiveness. Cheryl served faithfully as our production office coordinator. Her loyal and willing spirit was a breath of fresh air as she helped our team organize the overwhelming task of producing a feature film. We desire to see many lives changed, as Champion will release to theaters in the spring of 2017. This would have never have been possible without the dedication and hardworking spirit of crew members like Cheryl.
I believe the acts of miracles serve as a road map to Jesus’s ministry. In Mark 1:15 it tells us “Jesus performs many miracles, demonstrating his power over nature and spirits, and thus confirming that the Kingdom of God is at hand.” Let Cheryl’s insight and passion for Jesus guide you to discovering Christ’s compassion for humanity. It is my prayer that Miracles of Jesus will provide rich insight and bring comfort to your soul!

Before you open your eyes or say a word each morning, a few precious moments have the potential to place you on the pathway of peace and hope. Make these seconds count. They are more important than you can even imagine!
In Wake Up Smiling, Audrey shares her very personal journey of taking three simple Bible verses and believing them in a way that some may say is outrageous. Living heaven on earth has become very real for her, and every morning she wakes up with hope. If you’re ready to live, dream, and experience freedom from worry and fear, Jesus really is as close as the mention of His name. He’s waiting to share His secrets with those who will abandon all and say, “I am ready.”
God has a recipe for hope for you. It is practical, it will turn your life around, and it starts as you wake up.
Review(s):
—Dr. Brian Simmons, The Passion Translation Project
It’s been over twelve years since we personally witnessed Audrey experience a dramatic breakthrough when she completely received the beautiful forgiveness of Jesus. It was tangible and real. Since that moment when she “threw off” the cloak of shame, she hasn’t looked back. We prayed for her that night in her parents’ living room, and since then we have seen her walk in an authority of joy and freedom that is contagious and miraculous. You can’t help but smile and receive practical strategy as you follow the journey to happiness that Audrey has walked and laid out here in this book. Read every page of Wake Up Smiling. It will help you see how much you were created for new levels of breakthrough!
—Dr. Don and Mary Colbert, New York Times best-selling authors
—James B. Richards, PhD, ThD
Audrey Meisner is by nature a happy, joyful person. But that’s not what qualifies her to write this book. Audrey has walked through deep valleys of grief, heartbreak, and impossible circumstances, only to emerge with profound passion and a firmer grasp of God’s great love for her and for others (like you). This is not a surfacey book about the benefits of smiling (although, Audrey definitely points out the benefits of smiling). This is an honest look at what hinders our joy and why it matters. Do you believe it’s possible to embrace life with a heart of expectancy and faith? Do you want to wake up smiling because you’re someone Jesus loves and sings over? Read this book. It’s like a cup of cool water: good for the heart and good for the soul.
—Susie Larson, national speaker, talk-radio host, and author of Your Powerful Prayers
—Matthew and Caroline Barnett, founders of the Dream Center, Los Angeles, CA
Practical and powerful, Wake up Smiling reflects Audrey’s authenticity and zest for life. Each chapter is packed with doable strategies for joyful living. Audrey inspires us to allow the peace of God to rule in our hearts—no matter the circumstances. What a timely message for a weary world! This is the type of book that you will turn to again and again for encouragement and renewed hope.

—Steve and Wendy Backlund, Bethel Church, Redding, CA, and founders of Igniting Hope Ministries
Anyone who meets Audrey is instantly caught up in her zest for life, her love for Jesus, and the contagious joy she emanates. So I read her new book, Wake Up Smiling, with great anticipation, knowing I would be encouraged. But I found so much more. In this book she shares hard-earned wisdom that is made easily accessible and can be practically applied. Her passion will inspire you, and her story of grace will disarm you from any dread of the future so that every day you can confidently Wake up Smiling.

REVIEWS:
This book made me pray for the first time in a long time. I needed that reconnection with my spiritual self. The book offers a prayer journal built in the back. If you are looking for a way to get closer to that perfect practice. — Jessee
It is my view that many will be helped by a book of this nature. What I liked most about it was that the collection of Bible verses was well chosen and touched upon areas not usually mentioned in other books of this type. It showed a great amount of forethought and knowledge of the issues facing Christians today.
— Olea Nel
I plan on making "Affirm the Word" a part of my morning prayer ritual, and I recommend it for anyone who needs guidance in right thinking, living, and being. (And that's everyone, isn't it?) — Joanna Smith

Whether you are a newlywed or have been married fifty years, Dan and Linda Wilson’s book Lovemaking will awaken your love life to greater heights of desire, passion, and playfulness. They masterfully illuminate the beauty of sexual intimacy within the context of a covenantal marriage relationship. God created sex, and he wants us to enjoy it!

—KRIS VALLOTTON, Senior Associate Leader, Bethel Church, Redding, CA, Cofounder of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, Author of ten books, including The Supernatural Ways of Royalty and Spirit Wars
God created everything—including sex. Lovemaking is one of the most biblically sound and healthiest books on the market about sex and marriage. Dr. Dan and Linda Wilson do an outstanding job at conveying God’s original design and intent for the most extravagant, creative, spicy, intimate sexual expressions between husband and wife. I highly recommend this book to every couple wanting to strengthen their sexual intimacy and marriage!
—CHÉ AHN, Harvest Apostolic Center, Founding pastor, HRock Church, Pasadena, CA, President, Harvest International Ministry
Dr. Dan and Linda Wilson have written another outstanding book for couples...but this one is very different! Lovemaking deals with a subject that is too often considered taboo within the church. We’re so glad the Wilson’s were willing to pull back the sheets in order to share their straight-forward, honest, and practical advice that will help many couples succeed in the bedroom and beyond! Sex was, is, and always will be God’s idea for lasting marriages. We only wish this book had been available years ago when we first got married. It is an excellent reference for newlyweds and any married couple that would like to ignite their passion and feel like newlyweds all over again!

A beautiful English garden overflowing with cascades of flowers, alive with the fluttering and floating of birds and butterflies and awash with fragrance—this is the life hoped for. A garden of perfection with perfect weather, abundance, and season after season filled with only delights. A garden of comfort, a garden of joy, a painting one could have walked into and lived dreams of a perfect life.
But the garden of life is not a perfect English garden. Yet within it, God has painted pictures of faith, hope, love and, yes, even correction in the places it’s needed. A Garden of Hope illustrates lessons that cannot be painted with a paintbrush; they are painted instead with words. Those who read these words see God and realize He is everything they need. Life that seems so imperfect is full of beauty, for it has been perfectly designed as an invitation for us to know God.

Christians have long loved devotionals, but today’s Christians are also developing a strong love for fiction. They want to read stories about characters they can relate to, who experience situations similar to their own, and learn from those examples how to live out their faith. For them, life lessons are more easily absorbed this way.
21 Days of Grace fits all of these needs. It is a collection of engaging, inspirational short fiction stories written by new, intermediate, and well-known authors including Angela Hunt, Deborah Raney, Cindy Woodsmall, Cecil Murphey, Robin Bayne, and more.
Like Jesus’ parables, these stories deal with important life issues in a subtle, unpressured manner. And, as Jesus did, the authors follow up with life applications based on the stories, suggesting how the inherent lessons can be applied to the reader’s daily life.

A little God time is the most important part of your busy day!
This one year daily devotional will encourage mothers of all ages to carve out some God time with the assurance that God is strong when we are weak. Take time out to savor the tender moments with your children. Overflow with gratitude as you reflect on the gift of motherhood. May His joy and peace be yours, embracing the grace and strength He has given you as you endeavor to love your children just as he loves you.
Excerpt: The Perfect Hire
Whether “Mom” is your only title or one of several, the day you became a mother you took on a full-time job with crazy hours, non-existent pay, and inconsistent benefits. Some days, it’s the greatest gift in the world to love and serve our families. On others, we find ourselves wondering, Does this job get any easier? Any better?
On those days with more responsibilities than time, more grumbling than gratitude, rest in this: your employer is not that tantrum-throwing toddler or eye-rolling teenager. God chose you specifically for this family; you were the only candidate for the job, and you are perfectly qualified. You work for Him, and He will give you all the support, recognition, and joy you need.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24, NIV).
What part of your “work” as a mother is the most difficult for you? Share your struggles with God. Does it help you to remember you are working for Him at a job He chose just for you?

Never fear the unexpected and the unpredictable; never stagger at the thought of change. I provide everything you need and much more.

Experience the life and love of Jesus as told in the book of John by The Passion Translation.
The Story of Jesus is the biographical account of Jesus’ supernatural birth, controversial life, unjust death, confirmed resurrection, and promised return to earth as told by John, the beloved disciple. This book is a resource to introduce Jesus’ life and the work of his Spirit to invite seekers, encourage saints, and challenge skeptics.
Possibly the best-known verse in the Bible is John 3:16, which demonstrates how much God loves each and every one of us:
“He gave his uniquely conceived Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.”
What a gift! What a promise!
The Passion Translation is a new, heart-level translation that expresses God’s fiery heart of love to this generation using Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic manuscripts, merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God’s Word.
