Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. PRAYER TIME10-7-20124:38 PM - 5:25 PM HOME STUDY BIBLE SCHOOL. Where is it? I am very frustrated because I can't find my notes that we have already written in preparation for our BIBLE SCHOOL. Several years ago The Lord started us off with THE VILLAGE CARPENTER a home improvement business that started sometime in 1972. We worked this business through out the rest of our life along with many other businesses. Also being involved in Church and Sunday School as a Teacher of The Gospel. As we continued on. About 2003 we were on the World Wide Web and at the advise of a former business man. We added the words World Wide to our business. THE VILLAGE CARPENTER WORLD WIDE MINISTRIES. When Father God called us into full time ministry of publishing Christian Books. We added the words to our ministry. THE VILLAGE CARPENTER WORLD WIDE MINISTRIES AND PUBLISHING HOUSE. Along with this, Father God spoke and said, "They wouldn't read My Book. The Holy Bible. But they will read these little books." He went on to instruct us as to how to build our, or should I say. His Web Site: TheVillageCarpenter.info we also realized that there was a need to teach people about The Holy Bible. So we started putting together notes and other information to start organizing a Home Study Bible School. As we prayed about it. Father God impressed us with the fact, that the books we were publishing were Gospel Tools to be used for ministers to teach from along with The Holy Bible. God's Holy Word and our own Personal Testimony are the two most important tools to be using in this. Bible School. He told me today to call it: THE VILLAGE CARPENTER BIBLE SCHOOL. This is where the prayer time of today came into this picture. Do you like this picture that we are painting for you? You see. You are not reading this by accident. Somebody is concerned about your soul. During our prayer time today, 10-7-2012 at 4:38 PM I set my alarm to go off at 5:30 PM to get up for a radio broadcast today. I basically prayed, ".Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth." from 1 Samuel 3:9. Again, this was at 4:38 PM. I tried to be quiet and say nothing. There are those who know me that would laugh at this because they think I can't keep my mouth shout! True as it is, I am trying to be still before Father God and just listen. Today at 5:25 PM He spoke and said, "Charles, You build it. The Souls will come and study My Word!" Amazed, I lay there in silence thinking about what I had just heard. Then at 5:30 PM my alarm went off and I had to get up for our Pastors translation of our guest, Sister Kenia from Cuba. Her and her husband are our Bishops in Cuba for The International Ministers Forum. She was being interviewed on WWSU FM Radio 106.9 streaming live on the World Wide Web. She speaks very little English and our Pastor David Swartz interpreted as she spoke. The program went on with music for an hour and a half or better. She was asked to preach a little for the radio audience, which she did with great power and authority. Obviously being moved by her message. The announcer asked her to pray for all that were listening. This Sister Kenia did with great power. Amen. Hallelujah! It is no accident that you are reading this book right now. Someone is concerned about you and your eternal destiny. There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who have chosen to go to Heaven and those who have chosen to go to Hell. If you are of the latter. Praise God because you have been chosen of Almighty God to be reading this book right now and to have one last chance to change your mind and go to Heaven to be with Father God.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The intention of this book is not only for you the reader to enjoy but also that my life might be hope for those of you that find life difficult in one way or another. Life is like a big puzzle whether you live a short life or a long one. Each event is a piece of that puzzle. Sometimes we may think a piece of that puzzle is missing! Not so, eventually that piece will show up. The Lord has a plan for our lives. We can't go through this life and not face problems. Sometimes we get in the way and cause our own problems, but eventually the Lord intervenes and starts pushing the doors open in the right direction for our lives. There have been times when I have felt deserted, neglected and unloved, but there were and are also times I have felt not only the love of God but the love of others around me. Love is the engine that runs the train of our lives. It is the only thing we will take to heaven with us. We are the light of the world, a city built on a hill. The other things we value on Earth are just that. Things and they will be left behind when Jesus bids us to Come. While we are here we are the candle for those who watch us. As Christians, we are to be. All of these things. And more! This is a story of my life. Not all of it is written here as 85 years of living would be too much as I am sure you will agree. I am not saying I am perfect. No one is. We all make mistakes but forgiveness is always there from our Heavenly Father. Our Bible tells us we not only need to forgive others but also ourselves, no one is perfect. Jesus is the only one who is perfect.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We just finished mowing our Sister's yard, got into our car to drive the 2 miles to our home in the country. It's evening the sun is just setting in the west. On the car radio is Brother Chuck Swindoll. When I hear him say, "1/2 of the local church will be LEFT BEHIND in the rapture." I thought? Am I the only one who sees it? Am I the only one that Father God told that the number will be much greater than that? Am I the only one that Jesus. Has told that 3/4th will be LEFT BEHIND? Gods Holy Word? The Holy Bible uses the words LEFT BEHIND only 2 times in 2 verses. They are, The plague of darkness that says, Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither. Exodus 10:26. Next the story of the Amalekites who spoil Ziklag, So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed. 1 Samuel 30:9. Greetings Reader? Of this book. We are so glad you are here. You are about to experience a Divine Appointment with Almighty God! You may think this is a wild and outlandish statement? But it's true? Let us explain. It is no accident that you are reading this book right now. Someone is concerned about you and your eternal destiny. There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who have chosen to go to Heaven and those who have chosen to be LEFT BEHIND and go to Hell. If you are of the latter? Praise God because you have been chosen of Almighty God to be reading this book right now and to have one last chance to change your mind and go to Heaven to be with Father God.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When I asked him if he really wanted to kill me, he said yes, right at that moment I did. I said, "Why didn't you? You had a gun loaded." Listen to what he said. And this is to the Glory of God. He said, "When I came around the trailer and saw you. You were real tall and pure white and it scared me and all I could do was run." I said, "You didn't see me, you saw the Angel of The Lord. I told you He would not allow you to harm me." My dad and first wife Urisi had five children, Emmalee, Victor, Manfred, Bearl and Wilma. Urisi died. Then he married my mom, Eloise Harshbarger. Then I was born October 14, 1935. Later my brother James was born January 30, 1937. We lived at Milton, West Virginia in Cable County, in the Old Ronk Home place where we have a family cemetery. My grandparents and most of my Aunts and Uncles are buried there. And I will be someday. My daddy was a farmer and blacksmith. If the ground didn't grow it, we didn't have it. We had no car but daddy had a team of horses and a wagon. The very first thing I remember was a flood, probably the 1937 flood. It was so scary, we had gone to Huntington; do not know how we got there, to Aunt Lette's house. Don't know if we went to get her out or what. But the flood gates were closed and there was water everywhere, almost on her porch. I was on someone's shoulders. People say you couldn't remember, you were too young. But when something is so devastating, you can! I remember winning a beauty contest 0-18 years, don't know how old I was, maybe five. I had two older half-brothers Manfred, Bearl in 3 C-Camps, then to the Army. Manfred in Alaska, Bearl a Sgt. in the Philippines, lost in the jungle 21 days. Then he was called to help clean up at Pearl Harbor. Now, I'm in first grade at Diehl School. All 12 grades. One school teacher, a potbellied stove in the middle of the room and a water cooler back in the corner. My dad always taught us to tell the truth, even if it hurt. Because if we didn't and he found out. And he would, we'd get a whipping for doing the thing and another one for lying, with a switch or leather belt. People today would say that's child abuse! No, it has made me what I am today. Child abuse is letting the child watch TV all day and get out on streets and drink, smoke dope and you don't even know where they are. Oh, you say I don't want my child to go through what I did. It would do them good to go through what I did. You're just too lazy to be a parent and make them do right. If the school teacher or bus driver gave us a whipping, when we got home we would get another one. The school nurse would come to school and give everyone a shot. I would make little envelopes out of the manila paper we had at school for art. I would write to my brother Bearl and he always answered. Most of these five years at Diehl school we walked but we rode the bus home. My mommy was a tiny little woman and all of the kids on the bus would laugh to see her run down to the bus to give me a note of two or three things that she would need from Cremean's store, so I could ride the bus down and only have to walk back. Daddy worked on the WPA. Sometimes mom started not feeling good. In the sixth grade we were made to go to town to school (Central) then to high school in the seventh. Back then there was a mobile that came around and took chest x-rays. A lot of TB back then. Daddy, James mine came back okay, but mom's was bad. Sent her to Beckley, West Virginia to T.B. Sanitarium. This is really hard. No car. We always walked across these hills to get to church. Any church that was having a revival, we were there, even though we went to Aunt Ersa and Uncle Cephas' church. The old Tin church on Mason St. in Milton.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. My wife Joy and I first met back in May of 2010 when she was referred to us for publication of her first book. Over the first couple years we had published 4 books for Sister Joy. When she invited me to go to church with her, I had picked her up and we were driving west out of town. A couple blocks later I saw a sign that read, "Young At Heart" outside a rather large nice looking building. I asked Joy if that were a youth meeting place? She said, "No, that is a Senior Citizens Place." I told her that it looked like a good place to have Bible Study and Prayer Meetings. She said they do have Bible Study there. That was about 3 years ago. Last August Joy and I were married and February of this year 2014 we were asked by one of the local ministers if we would have Bible Study at the Young At Heart building? We said we would be honored to do it. The 1st week, only Joy and I came to the Bible Study and Prayer Meeting. The 2nd and 3rd weeks were the same. We continued hoping the people who were at the building playing cards would see our consistency and join us as we did indeed invite them each week before we would start. We would meet for about 11/2 hour each time. Then on the 4th week, Joys sister came to join us. About the 7th week Sister Nora was out of town in Florida and Joy and I were again the only ones there. This week The Lord prompted us to read the longest chapter in the Holy Bible. We did and Joy was surprised that it didn't take very long to read it. She would read and then I would read and we kept switching back and forth. After we discussed what we had just read, I explained how The Lord had me to publish The Book of Revelation to show that it is not that hard to read and to understand. We had no-more than read this longest chapter in the Holy Bible, discussed it and had our discussion about The Book of Revelation when again The Lord spoke to me and said, "Charles. Publish this chapter into a book and call it 119!" So. You are now reading the longest chapter in The Holy Bible and we hope you too see that it is not that hard to read the longest chapter and understand it. May we suggest that before you read this or any book in The Holy Bible or any other book about The Holy Bible, you would be well advised to pray first and ask the Author of The Book; The Holy Bible, to open your understanding and to allow you to become knowledgeable and give you wisdom as you read. We have done that for years and we learn each and every day. God does want us to read His Holy Word and He wants to teach us so very much! Now; almost 5 years later, we must continue to share these same thoughts with you the reader of this book. You see back then The Lord told us, "Charles. They wouldn't read My Big Book. But they will read your little books!" So we continue to publish books. To date we have published over 215 books and God brings us new author after new author. Your Book Could Be Next! You must understand. We are no one special. In the 1st grade of school, we were actually put in the corner of the room while the other kids were in reading circle. It seems I just could not read as a 1st grader. They even held me back for a 2nd year to try to help me to learn to read. I can still remember those troubling words, "Run Jack Run" and "See The Cat" and "See Billy Walk" but when I got to antidisestablishmentarianism. I was really lost! (Just kidding). I made it all the way to 6th grade and the teacher told my Mom, if I didn't go to summer school, I would fail the 7th grade. Well Praise God, He had other plans for me. I didn't fail the 7th grade and I didn't go to summer school either and made it through high school. Got a job at the local Air Force Base and 2 years later was drafted into the United States Army. In the 3rd grade, I saw a boy cheating on his spelling test. I watched several weeks and decided to try i Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

It's, The Village Carpenter: The Classic Memoir of the Life of a Victorian Craftsman by Walter Rose. There also listed is a review called, "One of my very favorite books, August 2, 2012 By Kari A. Hultman, Lemoyne, PA United States. This review is from: The Village Carpenter: The Classic Memoir of the Life of a Victorian Craftsman. The Village Carpenter is a book that I wished would never end. The author writes about carpentry and working in his grandfather's shop in Victorian England, at a time when the carpenter was vital to the life of the village and whose duties encompassed a much broader range of skills and projects than what we think of as carpentry today. The village carpenter in the late 19th c. was responsible for building everything from windows & doors to coffins to fences & gates to furniture to buckets & washboards and more. He was a thread that tied the community together, often having to work on sight, gaining an intimate understanding of the villagers in whose homes he would work for weeks on end. Walter Rose eloquently recounts stories about the men who worked in the shop, their tools, their projects, and their interaction with the villagers. Here is an excerpt from his book: {As publisher of this book. Here are 2 examples we want you to Read. Re-Read. And Read it again} '"It is in the workshop and at the bench that an insight into the soul of wood craftsmanship can be truly gained. There are tools, there is the wood--rude planks, ungarnished, their surface scored with the saw. Between them, and without which each is useless, must come the soul and spirit of the designer and craftsman; the deft hands prompted by an alert mind; the knowledge attained only through years of study and service; the creative instinct and ability that will, by the correct use of the tools, transform the mere plank into a thing of usefulness and beauty--possibly a joy for ever."' {See how the words were crafted together. Just like a carpenter building a window or a washboard. Walter Rose started out just like YOU. The review continues.} The entire book is filled with memorable passages and woodworking wisdom that has since been forgotten but is still relevant. He reflects on the personality of wood and the connection between the carpenter and his tools--a connection so absolute, that the same tool in another woodworker's hands would not respond the same. It's a must-read for anyone who is passionate about woodworking or who would like to gain insight into the soul of a woodworker." We are honored to have '"The Village Carpenter: The Classic Memoir of the Life of a Victorian Craftsman by Walter Rose" listed with our over 250 books on Amazon. There is another author we want point out. John Steinbeck writes, "Alicia, I wish I could tell you about these pilots. They make me sick with envy. They ride their vehicles the way a man controls a fine, well-trained quarter horse. They weave along streambeds, rise like swallows to clear trees, they turn and twist and dip like swifts in the evening." {See too. How John Steinbeck writes the words and crafts them together. Just like a musician; as he puts it, playing their controls like music. John Steinbeck started out just like YOU.} I also started out just like you.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. My dad and first wife Urisi had five children, Emmalee, Victor, Manfred, Bearl and Wilma. Urisi died. Then he married my mom, Eloise Harshbarger. Then I was born October 14, 1935. Later my brother James was born January 30, 1937. We lived at Milton, West Virginia in Cable County, in the Old Ronk Home place where we have a family cemetery. My grandparents and most of my Aunts and Uncles are buried there. And I will be someday. My daddy was a farmer and blacksmith. If the ground didn't grow it, we didn't have it. We had no car but daddy had a team of horses and a wagon. The very first thing I remember was a flood, probably the 1937 flood. It was so scary, we had gone to Huntington; do not know how we got there, to Aunt Lette's house. Don't know if we went to get her out or what. But the flood gates were closed and there was water everywhere, almost on her porch. I was on someone's shoulders. People say you couldn't remember, you were too young. But when something is so devastating, you can! I remember winning a beauty contest 0-18 years, don't know how old I was, maybe five. I had two older half-brothers Manfred, Bearl in 3 C-Camps, then to the Army. Manfred in Alaska, Bearl a Sgt. in the Philippines, lost in the jungle 21 days. Then he was called to help clean up at Pearl Harbor. Now, I'm in first grade at Diehl School. All 12 grades. One school teacher, a potbellied stove in the middle of the room and a water cooler back in the corner. My dad always taught us to tell the truth, even if it hurt. Because if we didn't and he found out. And he would, we'd get a whipping for doing the thing and another one for lying, with a switch or leather belt. People today would say that's child abuse! No, it has made me what I am today. Child abuse is letting the child watch TV all day and get out on streets and drink, smoke dope and you don't even know where they are. Oh, you say I don't want my child to go through what I did. It would do them good to go through what I did. You're just too lazy to be a parent and make them do right. If the school teacher or bus driver gave us a whipping, when we got home we would get another one. The school nurse would come to school and give everyone a shot. I would make little envelopes out of the manila paper we had at school for art. I would write to my brother Bearl and he always answered. Most of these five years at Diehl school we walked but we rode the bus home. My mommy was a tiny little woman and all of the kids on the bus would laugh to see her run down to the bus to give me a note of two or three things that she would need from Cremean's store, so I could ride the bus down and only have to walk back. Daddy worked on the WPA. Sometimes mom started not feeling good. In the sixth grade we were made to go to town to school (Central) then to high school in the seventh. Back then there was a mobile that came around and took chest x-rays. A lot of TB back then. Daddy, James mine came back okay, but mom's was bad. Sent her to Beckley, West Virginia to T.B. Sanitarium. This is really hard. No car. We always walked across these hills to get to church. Any church that was having a revival, we were there, even though we went to Aunt Ersa and Uncle Cephas' church. The old Tin church on Mason St. in Milton. Now, there's a big Baptist Church there. It was terrible.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There is so much talk today about the taking of Christmas out of our society. Out of stores. And renaming the celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus. We as publishers decided to give a Christmas gift to all who will read this book. When we were younger. We would read the Christmas Story as we called it or the story of Jesus birth out of The Book of Luke in The Holy Bible to our children. This practice seems to be lacking in today's society. We feel that it is a need that every child should know this story and have it read to them from the youngest age. All the way as they grow up. So many will not even read their Bibles today. Maybe this will help by having this story put into book form so that maybe. Just maybe this practice will return. To The Glory of God, The Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Ghost! Enjoy this reading. With your children. At Christmas Eve. And throughout the year!

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Contradiction is a riveting and dynamic account in which Charles Carpenter unveils the core of why at risk youth become attracted to gang subculture. Charles Carpenter shares his personal experience regarding his attraction to gang life. Profound insight is offered regarding loyalty and the ugly face of betrayal. Charles delves into how the catalyst that motivated his change was when a fellow member of his former gang violated the code of honor and respect by having a capricious affair with his wife; this transgression was the foundation that led to Charles Carpenter's conviction of second degree murder. After years of living a destructive life style which continued to yield negative fruitage, Charles Carpenter vowed to make positive changes in his life. He made a conscious effort to change the behavior patterns that ultimately shaped the gang member that he diligently aspired to become. Charles Carpenter outlines the anatomy of his change and describes what is required to learn positive behaviors.
