Have you ever felt dry, depleted, or desperate for something more in your Christian life?  Too often our relationship with Jesus consists of little more than attending a church service on Sundays, memorizing Bible stories, and spending fifteen minutes each morning in prayer and reading. We say we know Jesus, but we also realize that we lack intimacy and closeness with Him.  The key to Christianity is not to know all about Jesus, but to actually know Him. Knowing Jesus is more about relationship than rhetoric and more about intimacy than information. It’s about surrender, abiding, and dependency upon the King of kings and Lord of lords.  In this devotional study of a passage from Philippians 3, NRJohnson encourages you to move beyond academics and into intimacy—to embrace Jesus Christ in relationship, not mere head knowledge.

Laden with pines and interspersed with lakes and rivers, Pine City has long served as the gateway to Minnesota's Northwoods. Over the years, people have traveled through the area via the river, military road, railroads, and scenic highway. In the 1880s, as people of European decent were settling in, the crux of the community moved from Chengwatana, Ojibwe for "City of Pines," to a location west of there, nearer the rail line, called Pine City. The story begins with the fur trade and takes one through a fascinating journey of the logging industry, showing the rural community's transition from predominantly agricultural underpinnings to a more diversified economy. This collection of vintage photographs highlights Pine City's laboring people and other influences that have had roles in shaping what it is today-a city of great history, unique people, nostalgic small-town traditions, and mystifying legends.

Kata, the preset movements forming the backbone of all karate styles, have been a source of endless confusion for the vast majority of karate students. All students learn how to perform the kata, but there has never been an effective explanation of how they are applied. Until now! Nathan Johnson, a third-degree black belt in karate and a fourth-degree black belt in kung fu, has spent two decades on his quest to find the true meaning of kata. In Zen Shaolin Karate, Johnson explains and illustrates in precise detail every subtle movement of two of karate's most common kata, and provides historical testimony for his explanations by integrating his findings with Zen philosophy. The author's unique interpretations of the Nai Fuan Chin and Saam Chin kata will destroy the barriers separating karate, kung fu, and aikido, and will revolutionize how kata are applied in all karate styles.

Highway 61 Through Minnesota (Images of America)

Driving on Highway 61 through Minnesota provides a rare opportunity for one to see virtually every type of landscape in the North Star State. Along the highway's path are pastoral farms and towering bluffs, as well as the largest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior. There are picturesque small towns and populous cities, yet stretches of the highway have been abandoned. Despite Highway 61's east-west counterpart Route 66 getting more attention, the north-south byway is arguably the most fascinating stretch of road in the country. Throughout the highway's history, music lovers, foodies, and thrill seekers alike have discovered its fun and uniqueness. The 1,400-mile highway signals where the West begins and has a fabulous history that can be traced from the civil rights movement to the development of various genres of music, including jazz, blues, and alternative rock. Famous Americans such as Mark Twain, Bob Dylan, Jessica Lange, and even Kermit the Frog keep the highway in the national psyche.

So many times in our own homes and communities -at-Large, the young female child is nurtured, raised up properly with all the best of character qualities invested into them. Now, on the other hand too often the young male is left to go at it all alone, on his own. This young male (sons), are charged to become the leaders in home, and the market place in the not-too-distant future. This book, RISING SONS was birthed and born from a similar experience in my own life. Had it not been for God using my grandma Jay to hold me accountable and at the same time provide for me in all areas of life, I don’t think I would have survived. Yes, there were many times I just wanted to run away from home, school, plantation and yes God. But thank God for a strong grandma who wouldn't let me do what I felt. I guess we all have had our prodigal experiences at one time or the other. After much prayer and soul searching, this book was birthed in my spirit and then manifested in my mind and body. Out of the plantation, cotton field and fighting mosquitoes, flies and knats came a little boy out of wedlock not knowing what to do or which way to go; Nay, Crock Martin, Nate, names given to me by family and close friends. Some other names, I had to learn to deal with on plantation were: boy, nigger, blacky, or that boy or just him-names my grandma and mama taught me how to handle. Even though the Delta Plantation had its dark sides and many pains, and suffering we, sharecroppers endured, yet there were some Whites / Caucasins who were loving, caring and fair with Black sharecroppers. These are the people who came along side of us and help to keep us mentally and spiritually sane. I have learned and try hard to implement into my life: Three-fold purpose of man: (1) Be fruitful- (giving birth) (2) Multiply- (raising productivity), (3) Replenish- (leaving a deposit). Ultimate lesson I have taken from writing this book is: (a) Don't stop working for change, when things start getting better. (b.) It is not about me, but the next generation, the unborn, but about building an infrastructure in my home that will serve as a kingdom model. This is a historical and biographical account of challenges and triumphs I experienced as a child in rural Mississippi-the delta region of Leflore County. Little did I know that God was allowing me to experience the many challenges of growing up in a society where racism, alcoholism, social alienation, educational segregation, and economical were the “norms”. This is just the way things were and as a young black boy born out-of-wedlock you did not ask questions. This is just the way it was.
