Epistemic Standpoints
Theological and Sociological
M. D. Litonjua
About the Book
Pilate asked “What is truth?” We too struggle with the question and we search for an answer. Correspondence theory told us that we grasp with our external senses objective reality, and the truth lies in the correspondence of the mind to external objective reality. The problem is that, except for basic mathematical equations, this explanation does not account for the diversity of opinions, the conflict of ideas, and the clash of ideologies. This does not include, of course, outright lies, denial of facts, manipulation of data, the malice of fake news.
We do not see things with the naked eye as they are. We see them from a certain perspective, from a specific point of view. A tree is not simply a tree. A tree provides restful shade to a weary traveler. It is useful lumber for the logger. It yields oxygen for a polluted atmosphere in the eyes of an environmentalist. It is an inspiration for a poem by Joyce Kilmer. In other words, it is foundationally a matter of, using a philosophical word, one’s epistemology. It involves one’s interests and concerns, it depends on what one considers important in life, the meaning he searches for in society and the world, how one conceives what life should be. We see, appreciate, judge from an epistemic standpoint.
The acknowledgement of different epistemic standpoints is the basis for dialogue, for the respectful discussion of differences of opinion, for the legitimate clash of ideologies. The acceptance of multiple standpoints is also the foundation for cooperation in spite of differences, for the search of common solutions to common problems, and for solidarity for the common good.About the Author

Haiti, Return to God
Apostle Odule Bitol
About the Book
People around the world are asking, “What is going on in Haiti?” Today, I want to help you understand the reality that exists in the country. Haiti, like the country of Wales in 1904, has been going through very difficult times and a spiritual war is raging throughout the country. God almighty sent provisions for the Welsh to come out of the darkness with a mighty revival, just as He did on the day of the Pentecost, to start a new history for that nation. God will do the same for Haiti.My goal, with your support of prayer, is to create a new history for the island nation of Haiti. I seek to bring the knowledge of God to the country so that they may come out from under the hand of the Devil. When King Nebuchadnezzar was seeking to find the right answers for the future, they were found above. The problem of our nation and nations around the world is not social or material, but spiritual. God was the answer and He still is today, tomorrow and forever. We must return to God because He is the answer. I pray that God continues to bless you and give you joy from this book.
About the Author
I want to seize this opportunity to give thanks to my family, especial my wife Myrlene and all my children, as well as each one of my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ and my friends for being there for me and every aspect of my life when I really needed you the most. Also, my deep thanks to my publisher, Gotopublish Press. I pray that God almighty will bless each and every one of you in every aspect of life.
Thank you so much! -

The Anointing Exposes the Deeds of the Flesh
Merits Henry
About the Book
The Time Has Come To Receive As a people birthed with purpose, God has reserved the best for the last to display his tangible anointing power to a dying world. The anointing is that divine inducement from above, and not a desire of emotional feelings. It comes not with years of experience, status and articulates. But rather it is given by laying aside every weight and sin that easily besets us. He has placed a “”now power”” (Ephesians 3:20) on the inside of you to defeat your adversary. This power is actually on the inside of you right now. This is the beginning of miracles concerning you – just believe! Discovering the anointing on your life; you will realize that it an inheritance given to serve and not to be served.
I believe we are at a prophetic crossroad in history to witness a people with a new birth – destined to walk in a double portion of his spirit, just as Elisha received a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. God has saved us, the best, for the last. Therefore, we must desire nothing less than the anointing that destroys yokes of bondage, opens blind eyes, straightens crippled limbs, mends broken homes and deliver every captive. God’s Word promises that there will be an overflow, or a double portion, of wine and oil (or anointing), coming your way in one month. That’s a double blessing! This double portion is waiting for you, it is part of your inheritance through Christ Jesus. It will show you how to walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit and do greater works than that of the risen Messiah. This is your hour of power! This is your day to receive your double portion. After reading this book your life should never be the same again. It is my desire that readers obtain spiritual experiences and insights that will enlarge their spiritual vision for tomorrow.About the Author
Merits is the author of three books. “The Anointing Exposes the Deeds of the Flesh” and “The Spiritual Benefits of Praise” and Worship, and “Love Reveals the Heart of God,” which is one of the most inspirational books ever written about the sovereign and eternal love of God.
He is the founder of Worship Conference Ministries, Canada, Cayman Islands and Jamaica. He is a licensed counselor as well as a Certified Chaplain. He has a passion for teaching people about Christ and help them to walk in the freedom that God has ordained.
With a voice of hope and encouragement, he travels extensively preaching and teaching the Word of God.
Known for his charming personality and winsome countenance, Rev. Dr. Merits is a firm believer that, “it is not what you are in Christ, but who you are in Christ”. -
The Modern-Day Cyrus
2nd Edition
Rev. Robert Antwi
About the Author
During the Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land, God told the Israelites that the city in which He would place His name should be their center of worship or the economic capital. “But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek and thither thou shall come.”(Deuteronomy 12:5) Around 1000 BC the God of Abraham selected Jerusalem to place His name there and David to rule His people. David became king of ancient Israel when God selected Jerusalem to place His name and made Jerusalem the center of worship {spiritual and economic capital}. “But I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.”(2 Chronicles 6:6) Therefore, God chose Jerusalem to put His name there and David to rule over His people (Israel).The Jew know their history and Jerusalem was proclaimed the capital. On May 14, 1948, Ben-Gurion proclaimed the formation of Israel. Jerusalem is the capital and the largest city in Israel. Tel Aviv is Israel’s economic and technology center. Jerusalem is the capital, but it has limited recognition. International bodies and many countries around the world do not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I believe it is time for the world to recognize Jerusalem as the capital. I believe Donald Trump won the election to declare and recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In 538 BC, Crazy he save the Babylonians. I have declared President Donald Trump the modern-day Cyrus. Just as King Cyrus set the Babylonian captivity, Donald Trump is setting Jerusalem free from the slave of unrecognition.

Will I Find Faith?
Christianity at a Crossroads
Fred Snowden
About the Book
Will Jesus find faith on the earth when He returns? Will He find faith in America? No doubt, the America of 2020 is much different from that of 1960. Church attendance has declined from 80% to 15%, morality is redefined, secularism is attempting to neutralize Christianity and the new generation interprets the 1st Amendment as freedom from religion rather than freedom of religion. Socialism is on the rise and the church is in retreat. In II Chronicles 7:14, the scriptures declare, “If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways; I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.” Will believers awake or is the judgement of God the only thing that can bring us to our senses and to our knees? Our nation is being weighed in the balances and time is running out!About the Author

From Goo to God
Bruce R. Matson
About the Book
In the Colosseum of Ancient Rome, it was not uncommon for Christians to be thrown to the lions. This was a one-sided, public spectacle that was meant to intimidate Christians into complying with the social order of the day. This ancient fact stands as a modern day analogy between evolution and creationism. Let me explain. In almost every mode of media, including in our children’s textbooks, evolution is referred to as an unquestioned fact. If anyone dares to speak against it or even mentions “creation” as an option, they will be thrown to the lions of public disdain. But much like the empire of Ancient Rome, evolution will likewise crumble and Christianity will prevail!About the Author
Bruce Matson is an educator of 30 years who has taught kindergarten through eighth grade. He has also been an administrator, bus driver, and a coach of football, basketball, and track. More importantly, Bruce is a survivor of stage four lymphoma which inspired him to write his book in defense of creationism versus evolution. Seeing his own mortality, he made it his mission to let people know they are so much more than happenstance, by-products of evolution. Bruce uses science-based facts to expose the faulty foundations evolution and reveals how intelligent design throughout the universe leads us to a Creator.
