Books with title Secret Keeper Power Pak

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12)No other power on earth can quicken a dead soul except the same power that raised the body of Jesus Christ out of Joseph’s sepulcher. And if we want that power to quicken our friends who are dead in sin, we must look to God and not to man to do it. If we only look to ministers, if we only look to Christ’s disciples to do this work, we shall be disappointed. But if we look to the Spirit of God and expect that power to come from Him and Him alone, then we shall honor the Spirit, and the Spirit will do His work.May God show us this truth. Have we been toiling all night? Let us throw our net on the right side; let us ask God to forgive our sins and anoint us with power from on high. But remember, He is not going to give this power to an impatient man; He is not going to give it to a selfish man. He will never give it to an ambitious man whose aim is selfish, until he is first emptied of himself – emptied of pride and all worldly thoughts. Let it be God’s glory and not our own that we seek, and when we get to that point, the Lord will bless us for good. Then the measure of our blessing will be full. Do you know what heaven’s measure is? Good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over (Luke 6:38).About the AuthorDwight L. Moody, determined to make a fortune, arrived in Chicago and started selling shoes. But Christ found him and his energies were redirected into full-time ministry. And what a ministry it was. Today, Moody’s name still graces a church, a mission, a college, and more. Moody loved God and men, and the power of a love like that impacts generations.

What if the worst thing isn't that they don't believe you?Secret Keeper is the second part of the My Myth trilogy, and this astonishingly insightful and moving YA fantasy novel takes us even deeper into the painful reality of Emily's existence. If you thought that the first novel in this young adult trilogy was moving, fascinating, unique and powerful... just wait and see what lies between the pages of this remarkable sequel to the first psychological thriller. Abuse, fear, survival, and escapism are themes which few authors would dare to tackle, and fewer still would be able to handle with the deftness and skill shown by Jane Alvey Harris. Through her sensitive character development, incredible usage of plot, foreshadowing, and brutal, stark honesty - coupled with the multi-tonal fantasy of the imaginary realms she guides us through - Harris has been able to address some of the harshest realities of life head-on in this psychologically-charged novel.Secret Keeper is a further exploration of the scars wrought by abuse, the fear that never truly leaves, and the survival instincts that abuse brands onto the souls of sufferers. Everybody who has been affected by it attempts to deal with the horrors of childhood abuse in different ways, and this fantasy tragedy crossover novel approaches the most difficult of subjects from a sideways perspective, which - for all its fantasy elements - remains utterly real to the characters Jane Alvey Harris so vividly paints. Emily, now seventeen, wove an entire world of myth and magic, fantasy and fairy-like creatures to escape into when the pain became too overwhelming. When we last saw her, Emily was striving to come to terms with The First Realm - the world she created - and by accepting its significance in her life, she was able to use the power and strength she possesses in this alternate reality to deal with the oncoming fears she was having to face. Our teenage heroine managed to accept the truth of her past trauma, and she struck a balance between her battered egos, her inner life, and the role she must play as older sister... and survivor. The battle may have been won, but the war in the deepest part of her psyche had been waged for many, many years, and continues to rage on with a fiery intensity within. Once again, Emily's sense of security, and the tightrope she has been walking so carefully, is about to be shaken. Her mother has been released from rehab, and on the same day, her father expresses his intention to bring the family together again. The threat of past abuse once again raises its ugly head, and Emily steels herself through her panic with one thing on her mind: to protect her younger siblings from the horrors she once had to endure. In order to do this, she knows that she will have to gather her strength and do the unimaginable. She knows that she cannot hold onto her Secret for much longer, and it's time to speak out and allow it to fly. In her desperation, Emily steps back into her world of escapism. However, the Seven Kingdoms she left behind have been plunged into chaos, and the hours she has at her disposal are fast slipping away. The Champion must be found... as once again, her Dad is threatening to unravel all the work she's done, all of those battles she has fought. Emily must complete her task, and return to the Second Realm of her waking life - her family is depending upon her, and she's determined to save her siblings from the pain she's struggled so long to contain. Can she overcome her fears, tap into her powers and succeed? Or is she, in fact, her own worst enemy? Only time will tell in this stunning young adult romance fantasy... and time is fast running out. Readers of young adult fantasy fiction, psychological thrillers and inspirational memoirs alike will find themselves captivated. *Non-explicit trigger warning for childhood abuse and trauma including molestation
