Meet a man forced to live in a fast changing and godless society. He faced fears about the future, concern for his safety, and the discouragement of world that seemed to be falling apart at warp speed. Sound familiar? His name was Daniel, and with the power of hope, humility, and wisdom, he not only thrived, he changed an empire while he was at it. Though he lived thousands of years ago, he has a much to teach us today. Even in Babylon, God Is in Control In Thriving in Babylon, Larry Osborne explores the “adult” story of Daniel to help us not only survive – but actually thrive in an increasingly godless culture. Here Pastor Osborne looks at: - Why panic and despair are never from God- What true optimism looks like- How humility disarms even our greatest of enemies- Why respect causes even those who will have nothing to do with God to listen- How wisdom can snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat For those who know Jesus and understand the full implications of the cross, the resurrection, and the promises of Jesus, everything changes – not only in us, but also in our world.

Though Christendom has come to an end, it appears that old habits die hard. Jesus promised his followers neither safety nor affluence, but rather that those who come after him should expect persecution. Christian discipleship and tribal nationalism, however, despite the legal separation of church and state, continue to be co-opted into the nation-state project of prosperity and security. This co-option has made it difficult for the church to recognize her task to be a prophetic witness both for and against the state. That only a small pocket of Christians bear witness against such an accommodation of Christian practice is disconcerting; and yet, it breeds hope. In Living on Hope While Living in Babylon, Tripp York examines a few twentieth century Christians who lived such a witness, including the Berrigan brothers, Dorothy Day, and Eberhard Arnold. These witnesses can be viewed as anarchical in the sense that their loyalty to Christ undermines the pseudo-soteriological myth employed by the state. While these Christians have been labeled pilgrims, revolutionaries, nomads, subversives, agitators, and now, anarchists, they are more importantly seekers of the peace of the city whose chief desire is for those belonging to the temporal cities to be able to participate in the eternal city--the city of God. By examining their ideas and their actions, this book will attempt to understand how the politics of the church--an apocalyptic politic--is necessary for the church to understand her mission as bearer of the gospel.

My name is Neil Sorrells and I am a Christian storyteller. I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, with my Sunday school class, in 1950. Atlanta’s Chief of police (Chief Jenkins) taught our fifth grade class, and after the last class, he took us down to the Atlanta jail to show us their weapons, and then the cells themselves. Then he tells us how Jesus can keep us safe, anywhere, and we believe him. He leads us in a prayer of confession, and he and his aid declare us men as they serve Holy Communion, and give us bibles. At 11 years of age, I was the youngest in the class. On my 12th birthday, I choose to be baptized at my mother and fathers old home Church at Hiram Ga. My grandmothers and grandfathers were some of the founders, and we still have relatives who attended there. There are once a year all day singing and eating on the ground reunions, which feature lines and lines of southern farm cooking. Memories like these, of those simple people and their love for each other still warms my soul. As a Christian businessman I am called to do Justice, with a heavy on the do part, love mercy, give the other feller every break I can-especially if it doesn’t cost me anything, and walk humbly-and there is not one of my customers I wouldn’t go out of my way for, and I have already helped many that way. As a 23 year Gideon, our mission is to take the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to as many men women and children as possible. With these guidelines, Gideon lives become seamless. As a writer, my aim is to restore our souls, and the soul of America. We have a society that tells us we come from worthless tissue. What kind of self-image is that? Christians are about answered prayer. As Americans, Christians want the 10 commandments as the basis of our laws, and the Bible taught as history in our Church’s, homes, and schools. As our society changes Christian stories will come into demand, and that could happen this year. I am a paid published author, with two stage plays that were semi-finalist in the 12th annual writers digest contest for new material (top 20%), first try. This year I am working on a screenplay. I have written three completed novels, and I work on short stories and dramatic presentations. One presentation has been performed seven times now, with amazing results and very positive feedback. Happily married for 33 years, (33 out of 46 is not bad) my wife Maggie and I have five children and five grandchildren. It is in our family lives that we can most easily see the goodness of the Holy Spirit working. Praise God. I am available for most any group setting that wants to experience more of God’s love in their lives. I can do up to one hour. Neil Sorrells Po box 22 Williston ND 58802 701-570-7707 SECOND PAGE All gifts, donations, and pay should be payable to “T C freight,” and will be earmarked for tent revival meetings to heal our bodies, save, restore, and strengthen our souls, and free our spirits.” With four-hour sessions a night, maybe our souls will be filled with power and purpose.

Learn from the book of Daniel how to live confidently for Christ today. What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say or do? It’s tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat or just give up altogether. But this isn’t the first time that God’s people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God’s rule. In this realistic yet positive book, renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently and obediently in an increasingly secular society. Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we may trust him entirely. We can be as brave as Daniel if we have faith in Daniel’s God! "The message of Daniel is incredibly relevant for us in our generation. Not because it maps out a strategy for how to deal with our new lack of status ... or because Daniel was a great man and we need to follow his example. The reason is that it will help us to believe in Daniel’s God." Alistair Begg, author.

OVER 50,000 COPIES SOLD! How do we live faithfully in a country becoming more and more hostile to our faith in Christ?

He will walk you through the many parallels between the church in America and God's people in Babylon, and embolden you to be a gospel witness. You'll be encouraged not to compromise your faith even when under constant pressure from all corners of society. And more than all this you will have a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ, as you consider the biblical role of those in exile.

Theresa Santmann found herself in a world far from the farm of her youth in Ellenburg, New York. Despite the fact that she had a husband with ALS, two very young children, and no way to care for her family and pay the mounting bills, she rose to an unusual challenge. She found a four-apartment rental property in Babylon, New York and turned it into an adult home, the Little Flower Residence, where her husband became her first patient. She returned to school for nursing and began a new life that changed the lives of everyone around her. Theresas resourcefulness led her to becoming a registered nurse. She was the first woman in New York State to obtain an FHA-backed loan to build a 160-bed nursing home, with only a womans name on the application. She operated one of the most successful nursing homes on Long Island, invented and patented a unique walker, became an airplane pilot, and so much more. One of her more daring escapades was overcoming a navigational challenge with her disabled husband and two young children on board their thirty-seven-foot boat, Wicky One, from her home in Babylon to Canada. She plotted the course through the waterways; Fire Island inlet, west in the Atlantic Ocean, up the Hudson River, past West Point, and beyond. Soon there was another challenge, the locks that she had never navigated nor witnessed. She managed till finally there it was, Lake Champlain.

Meet Daniel. A Transformed Man Who Transformed His World. What does an ancient Jewish prophet have to do with modern America? What, if anything, can we learn from a man who lived 2,400 years ago as a captive in the land we now call Iraq? As it turns out, quite a bit. David and Jason Benham are convinced the biblical example of Daniel holds the keys to contemporary Christians living victoriously in a world increasingly hostile to people of faith. Like Daniel, many believers today find themselves in an unfriendly environment, one opposed to the God they serve. Yet, like Daniel, they must learn how to take a stand while serving the people around them. Living Among Lions is for Christian brothers and sisters who have the potential to transform their world but find themselves standing in the shadows wondering how to respond in an unfriendly environment. Divided into three sections, Living Among Lions covers three distinct characteristics that made Daniel strong: Conviction, Commitment, and Courage. Daniel possessed all of these qualities and lived them out. As a result, God gave him unprecedented favor and supernatural power. A mere slave living in exile, Daniel emerged as one of the most powerful men in the known world. Daniel’s conviction, commitment, and courage empowered him not merely to survive in Babylon but to thrive. He did not conform to his world; he transformed his world.
