Why do some Christians prosper while others do not? Why can God's power be seen in some lives and not in other? Are God's promises only to a few? No! The answer lies in the decisions we make. Some Christians are blessed by making the hard decisions to be obedient to God while others make decisions contrary to His will, thereby nullifying the great power that is available to them. This book teaches us how to live victorious lives merely by the choices we make. "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. No choose life" (Deut. 30:19) ...

The result of the mass genocide in Cambodia, (1975- 1979) was the loss of one-fourth of the Cambodian population. That’s more than two million people who died under the tyranny of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s, before a Vietnamese invasion forced the hideous regime to give up control of the central government in 1979.

"For whatever reason, two of the best faith-based films regarding nuance and complexity come from two female directors. Roman Dawson directed this year's Breakthrough , about a family struggling with the impending death of their hospitalized son. Sharon Wilharm wrote and directed Summer of 67 , a film about two sisters who struggle with their mother's suicide when they were kids, and worry over their men who've gone off to fight in Vietnam. Both of these films portray faith positively, but with sensitivity and without answering every question." ...
