When God created men, He had a very specific purpose in mind: They were born to have dominion over life and meant to know God as their Father and His son as their savior. Similar to the way our physical body rises up and releases its seed to bring forth the life of a child, God desires that we spiritually rise up and release our seed of faith. Mark Christopher Folan, who has spent more than three decades serving the Lord, and as a minister of the Gospel, shares vital components of serving the Lord in this guide to rising up in faith as men of God. By living and promoting godly principles, the author urges everyone to declare God’s desires to a lost and dying world. Moreover, he encourages us to always be ready to speak our faith while standing ready to help others move closer to the Lord. It is of the utmost importance that we come to know God’s ways of shaping us, to learn how we might fulfill our destiny, and become the great men of God that we are destined to be. Discover the amazing possibilities before you and rise up!
The Stand-Up Guy
The Berkley Building Company's office closes on week-ends. So when Rose Shapiro arrives for work on Monday morning June 20, 1966, she has to unlock the door to gain entry. She finds her boss, Max Robbins-dead-the apparent victim of a heart attack. At the funeral home because bruises are found on Max's body, the Medical Examiner performs an autopsy. He opines that Max did die of a heart attack, but one caused by powerful blows to his solar plexus. So who killed Max? Crude, black-sheep son of real estate mogul, Sam Robbins, Max wasn't short of enemies. The police discover evidence that David Lev, Max's boyhood friend and lawyer was the last person to see Max alive. David, normally unflappable, borders on panic. He turns for help to his ex-mobster cousin, Jack Lerner, once head of Detroit's infamous Purple Gang, whose criminal activities teenaged David abhorred and which embarrassed him. With input from Chick Marcus, another childhood friend of David and Max, Jack makes the problem go away. Max's killer is never discovered. Thirty-eight years later, Chick, only survivor of the trio, eighty and frail, but with perfect recall tells us who killed Max and why.
