Most people are taught that calamities of nature are caused by God. There are businesses that exist to replace property deemed destroyed "by an act of God." We feel that loved ones are taken by God through some disease or tragedy before we are ready for them to go. We learn growing up that God controls everything about our lives and we are to fear Him. We are told that if we don't straighten up and act correctly, God will punish us. But without God and His moral righteousness, how can we know what is the correct manner of conducting our lives? None of these statements made, that God is to blame, are true and there is proof that He really does love us more than we can imagine and He wants to give us every good thing that we desire. Since the fall of Adam from grace, God the Father has been executing His plan to redeem us back to a right relationship with Him. His desire is for us to experience His pure, unending and unconditional love. The decision to take part in that love is found in our free will to make up our own minds. He honors that because He wants us to respond freely to His love. Like presenting evidence in court to defend the accused, this book determines to show His innocence of guilt.

Ed Butler is privileged to possess a wealth of stories about his ancestors, some of which have been passed down through generations, while others stem from his own experiences. These narratives often provoke more questions than they answer. For instance, how would one have survived in 1821, homesteading on land, if their husband disappeared while clearing land? How could a person endure a fifty-mile journey in an ox-drawn cart, traversing swampy forests with three young children, one of whom was too young for solid food? Do you know of anyone who left home at fourteen and returned only after nearly six years? Ed recalls that his father was the only person he knew who lived and traveled in a covered wagon and who trained and worked with three teams of oxen. His father milked cows for sixty-two years and had a remarkable connection with animals, long before the term "horse whisperer" became widely known. Ed's mother, with a two-year teaching certificate, taught in a one-room schoolhouse before her marriage and was adept at maintaining discipline in her classroom. Have you ever tasted dried Tennessee strawberries? How many people do you know who have owned a horse and carriage and driven it in a local parade? These stories, along with many others, are shared in this narrative. Ed provides context and explanations of terms to ensure modern readers can understand the way he was raised and how eight generations overcame the challenges they faced. He is gratified that many readers of the first edition have noted that similar stories of hardship and perseverance have been shared by the older generations in their own families. These stories, both his and those of others, form an integral part of American history. Ed hopes that readers will also take steps to preserve their family histories.

Spiritual life can be a difficult challenge, with seemingly impossible demands and expectations that can feel burdensome for the Christian believer. Moving from who we are to who God desires us to be, and from where we are to where He needs us to be, is no easy feat. This journey becomes easier when believers realize that God places His Spirit within them for salvation and that the Spirit transforms them into individuals who can be used to further His kingdom. Empowered to Make a Difference by Les Tripp explores the work of the Holy Spirit from salvation to commitment, and then to a deeper life. Tripp developed a passion for helping believers break free from the misconception that serving the Lord relies on their wisdom and strength. Many fail to recognize the power available to transform their lives and empower them to become fruitful members of God's family. This power comes by shifting their perspective from "being in Christ" to having "Christ in me." Tripp discusses the Spirit's role in disciple-making and how the Spirit enables us to build God's kingdom and positively impact the lives of others. The Christian life is best understood as a spiritual journey-transitioning from a self-centered life without God to a productive, empowered life that makes a difference in the lives of others. It is a journey from selfishness to discipleship, directed by the Holy Spirit to advance God's kingdom. It involves understanding God's plan for your life and discovering the strength to fulfill it.
