Allen shares, “God gave me a mission to write my testimonies to spiritually help others. I am an overcomer of the long journey in the valley of unhappiness. Through it all, I made it. The point of me telling my testimonies is to help other to gain faith, insight of my personal experiences, and encouragement when you feel like you are alone. My mission is for all of God’s people to become an overcomer. My passion of telling my stories is to inspire people who are travelling down the path of wondering which way to turn. I can relate to that because I have also travelled down that road. God’s will is to deliver his people from depression and oppression. We cannot avoid life situations, but God have angels working behind the scene to protect us.”

Kristine Lindskoog’s newly released “Commonsensical Mom” displays real struggles, values, and life lessons to guide one in an easy-to-understand way


News Image

“Commonsensical Mom”: an illuminating read that will lead one into good parenting through a mother’s own experience of having been guided by the Spirit throughout her life. “Commonsensical Mom” is the creation of published author Kristine Lindskoog, a wife of twenty-two years and a mother to two adult sons. She began writing a blog called Commonsensical Mom in 2014, which documents her life as wife and mother, as well as a woman with Multiple Sclerosis.

Lindskoog shares, “I don’t know about you, but I didn’t have an instruction manual when I had my kids. I think knowing how to raise kids is more important than, say, cooking a box of macaroni and cheese or assembling some flat-pack furniture, even though those things always come with instructions so that you are given a standard to get an acceptable and predictable result.

“May my experiences on motherhood help you see what my husband and I did to raise our sons to be kind, respectful, and intelligent young men. After all, it worked not once, but twice! I pray you can glean any morsel of wisdom because we all need more wisdom. I hope you can see the Holy Spirit at work in my parenting as I think walking in the fruit of the Spirit is just common sense.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kristine Lindskoog’s new book holds out uplifting devotionals that hope to inspire and educate. May every reader find value in themselves and pursue a well-lived life.

News Image

“The Answer is Yes”: an enriching read on the essence of serving and acknowledging God’s will in life to allow grace to reinforce one’s meaningful purpose in God. “The Answer is Yes” is the creation of published authors Randy and Terri Johnson with James E. Cossey.

Randy and Terri Johnson with James E. Cossey share, “How does one pick up the pieces of a broken life, put it all back together again, and become what his or her God-given gifts and talents would suggest? During the past twenty years of benevolence ministry, Randy and his wife, Terri, have met innumerable individuals and couples who sincerely want to do something positive with their lives but who have wrongly concluded that because of past mistakes and accumulated bad choices, they are either extremely limited or excluded altogether. Many of these find themselves sitting out the game, sidelined linebackers, quarterbacks, star pitchers, and even potentially great coaches reduced to mere spectators. Their question is, ‘To be or not to be?’ More directly, ‘To serve or not to serve?’”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Randy and Terri Johnson with James E. Cossey’s new book teaches readers the importance of adhering to God’s call, for it brings fulfillment and wisdom to the soul as well as the assurance of blessing and salvation from mundaneness.

This book truly captures the meaning of stewardship in God that ushers in triumph in life.

Inc. Magazine Unveils Its Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000


News Image

“We are honored to not only be named to the Inc. 5000 list, but to be named as one of the top 100 companies for 2020,” said Christian Planner Founder and CEO Victor “Vinny” Delacruz.

Inc. magazine today revealed that Christian Planner is No. 92 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“We are honored to not only be named to the Inc. 5000 list, but to be named as one of the top 100 companies for 2020,” said Christian Planner Founder and CEO Victor “Vinny” Delacruz. “Christian Planner started as a way for me to consciously work my faith into my everyday schedule more routinely and I am grateful for the success we’ve seen since introducing our product to the world.”

Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are also being featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 12.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held virtually from October 23 to 27, 2020. As always, speakers will include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.

Christian Planner was founded by former youth minister and Air Force veteran Victor “Vinny” Delacruz as a way to thoughtfully incorporate time with God into his daily routine. Once he implemented the practice, he found his days to be more productive and focused and decided to formally launch the Christian Planner to help other Christians put Christ at the center of their daily routines and experience the same benefits he did.
