New Releases by Timothy Smith

This fictional tale is written to inspire, to unite, and to layout a foundation. Hopefully, the previous two novels in this four-part series have opened your eyes to fundamental problems in our world. If they have, you must''ve come to the realization that it''s up to us to fix what''s gone wrong, as the ones in whom we''ve entrusted that job to have utterly failed. The deceit of riches and power have corrupted the souls of the shepherds of the world; therefore, we''re left with no choice. Our strength lies in our numbers, but in order to unite you must also believe that there can be something better than what now exists, and you must have faith in the unseen. My goal through writing is to help you along the path that leads to all the aforementioned. As always, I hope you enjoy. I hope you are enlightened, and I hope you believe.

Covid19 brought the world to its knees. As one writer said, "Covid19 was not an interruption. It was a disruption." We were challenged to change in every way. The way we work, shop, travel, communicate, and worship. These new realities compelled Dr. Smith to read, study, and compile a series of inspirational and challenging messages from the Book of Hebrews. Specifically, chapter 11. The people are facing their own "disruptions" of their day. How will they handle them? What will be the outcome? How can we learn from their example? As the writer encourages them to maintain their wits about them and overcome the challenges, in The Pandemic: How My Faith Was Challenged, But Not Changed, Dr. Smith has eloquently developed several inspirational and challenging messages to encourage you. The book asks and addresses several daunting and penetrating questions: "How has the pandemic tested your faith?" During the pandemic, what have you learned about yourself and God?" and How has the pandemic prepared you for the future?" as well as others. Dr. Marvin Timothy Smith has served as Senior Pastor of the Mt. Olive Institutional Baptist Church of Saginaw, Michigan for nearly 25 years. Dr. Smith has degrees from: Southern University A & M College, Vanderbilt Divinity School, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Dr. Smith has lectured on the following topics: Parables, Homiletics, Hermeneutics, Creative Ways of Communicating the Bible, Leadership, and Christian Ethics, to name a few. Dr. Smith is married to the lovely Omie Anderson-Smith and they are the proud parents of three children: Marcelle, Marche'' and MaKenzie, one daughter in law, Jennifer and two grandsons-Josiah Timothy and Jabari Trevelle. Dr. Smith''s purpose is to relentlessly communicate the love of God, unselfishly share his gifts, and passionately inspire people to help others.

Since doilies are circular, they are ideal projects for crocheting while thinking. Doilies, like crocheted mandalas, can be used as table decor or framed and presented as gorgeous wall art. Daily chores can be really enjoyable. Contrary to common opinion, making crochet doilies is easy. They look complicated and sophisticated even though they are made of simple, manageable stitches and are simply crocheted in the round with a lighter, lacier yarn weight. By using traditional crochet shell stitches, worked up using fundamental double crochet stitches and chain stitches, you may make your own sweet and straightforward crochet doily. There are so many beautiful patterns in this collection of crochet doily patterns.

Resin is a particularly amazing material to utilize when creating jewelry since sometimes the most beautiful pieces are ones you create yourself. Additionally, it gives you the freedom to create in a variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. Making resin jewelry is quite simple and diverse because you may combine many different materials, such as glitter, gems, and so on. Even if you have a number of allergies, these resin jewelry items will work well for you because they are not hazardous to the skin. Get some epoxy resin, some jewelry findings, and whatever else you need to make the items you''re looking forward to crafting. We''ve put up a selection of DIY jewelry you can wear.

It''s very clear: Nonprofit organizations need major donors. In his nearly four decades of helping nonprofit organizations raise funds to accomplish their missions, author, Timothy Smith witnessed a clear pattern. The vast majority of donors giving to organizations participate through "mass media," meaning the mail, the telephone, or the Internet. No charity in the world has enough staff members to sit down with every donor personally and form a personal relationship. But over time, we see certain donors emerge as major players. They give more than the average individual, signaling their higher level of interest in the cause, and signaling their interest in a closer relationship with the nonprofit organization. How should the organization respond to these major donors? Timothy Smith has the answers to this question and many others. He has shown us that a healthy nonprofit organization will invest itself in all of its donors to the full extent of the organization''s capacity. With unlimited resources, the organization could treat every donor like a major donor. But with limited resources, the organization must invest in each donor according to the donor''s expressed level of interest in the mission of the organization. This is simply good, practical management. In the pages of Donors Are People Too, Timothy offers wise and proven insights into the care and keeping of major donors. He did not spring from the earth fully formed; he has learned a lot "the hard way." One of his best qualities is his willingness to confront his own failures and learn from them, to reveal his experiences and share wisdom through them. His candor is refreshing, and his insights are valuable.

This book is a Memoir, a detailed account of my life, growing up in one of Detroit''s most notorious areas - The Brewster Projects - in the ''60''s and ''70''s. The Brewster-Douglas Housing Projects were the largest residential housing project owned by the City of Detroit, located in the Brush Park section on the Eastside of Detroit, Michigan. The 1960''s and 1970''s were deemed the era of the beginning of Motown Records, original music flowing from the halls of Barry Gordy''s profound vision of creating musical geniuses and superstars. It was also the era when new types of drugs hit the hallowed streets of Detroit, and illegal sexual activities littered every corner in this area on the Eastside of Detroit. Life was fast! Life was hard! I literally raised myself, because it was like "Every man for himself" in my house. With a mentally unstable mother, the love I learned was not quite right. Relationships were based on my lack of understanding what real love was. Also, a less than loving grandmother made my life downright difficult. I was desparate. In and out of juvenile detention centers, in and out of prison, and ultimately having to reside at one rehabilitation center after another because of my drug addictions. It was evident that I''d end up like many of my constituents...in jail or rehab for life or dead. Thankfully, neither happened. I was released from my jail sentence and my stint in rehab. I''m here now to tell my story - Escape From The Dark Side...One Addicts Struggle.

"The longest book of the Bible, Jeremiah tells the story of a prophet facing the invasion of the Babylonians, the exile, and his own troubles when he and his scribe are captured and forced to flee to another country against the strict command of God."--back cover, volume 1.

"It''s a tough question, but it''s the one we are left with as the crux of the whole book: Would I rather suffer, or deny my God and my faith in him? Job is not a fairy tale, not a fable, nor a morality play set against an ancient Levantine backdrop. Although told with poetry, we take the book of Job to be the true story of what happened to Job, his family, and his friends. This account was given to us by God through the pen of an inspired writer. The men (and the one woman) who speak in this book may not have spoken in poetry, but the words we have, though stylized somewhat by the author, are nevertheless the true message of what took place."- back cover

People who love or work with someone with ADD often feel conflicted: they want to help, but they don’t want to enable. They value the person’s creativity, but they are exhausted.

This fresh look at ADD—not as a malady but as a unique way of thinking—shows readers that ADD doesn’t have to ruin their relationships. In fact, it can make them stronger.
