What do you do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re churched but not changed? There are those of us whom are accustomed to routine and not relationship. The religious matrix has held many captive and has depressed, oppressed and suppressed hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Christians around the world.

I also candidly discuss choosing your doctor, how the entire family is affected, returning to what I call the "new normal", school issues, letting go and other essentials. You will also find a heart warming section where the feelings of individual family members are expressed. The siblings surprised me with what they had to say looking back now almost two decades later. This book is not written to the medical world, nor did I write it on their behalf. This book is written from the view point of a parent caring for a child with a chronic illness from day to day. --Jennifer Travis Cox

Christian Leadership: the Missing Link Bobby Mills VIEW MORE INFO Christianity in American society is on the decline, and the question is why? Is it because Christian leadership has become too secularized, rather than spiritualized? The percentage of American adults who describe themselves as Christians has declined by eight percentage points in the last seven years based upon recent research data from the Pew Research Center. Too many twenty first century Christian church goers are bowing down to spiritual wickedness in high places simply for monetary gain, maximizing the pleasure principle, and above all, cohering with Cainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children. God is not pleased, because "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day." Does this sound like your church? Can God-fearing Christians rebuild the spiritual-moral walls of American society? I humbly pray that it is not too late.

Dialogue with My Daughters Jeffrey A. Johnson, Sr. VIEW MORE INFO Many young women in our country today are growing up without a father or father-figure in their lives. Some women have had fathers around but their daddies never had heartto-heart talks with them. Some women remember things their fathers shared with them, and would like to hear those things again. Whatever your age or situation as a woman, this book is for you! (It can also help fathers learn how to have those all-important conversations with their own daughters.) Jeffrey A. Johnson, Sr. has written this book from a father’s heart. You will find him talking openly and honestly about handling your beliefs, your bodies, your brains, your business, and your blessings.

Dialogue with My Daughters: My Personal Reflections Jeffrey A. Johnson Sr. VIEW MORE INFO This journal is a companion to Dialogue with My Daughters. That book was written by a pastor who has become a spiritual father to thousands of young women during the years of his ministry. He has seen so many women struggling with their self-esteem, their relationships with others, their vocational aspirations, their finances, their outlook on life, their marriages, their relationships with God and every aspect of their lives. So often, their struggles and their vulnerabilities can be traced to the absence of a strong, caring, father-figure who was able to talk with them about these things as they were growing up. A dialogue, however, cannot be one-sided. In order for women—young and old—to get the most from Dialogue with My Daughters, they need to actively interact with the book. This journal will inspire the readers to reflect upon what they have read, to consider what it means for them personally, and to decide how to apply it to their lives.

Or are you still choosing to avoid it as you wear the façade of a happy child of God? You know it’s there -- that mountain you refuse to climb. Presently, it’s hovering above you, like an ominous dark reminder that you do not have the total victory in Christ. Meanwhile its presence taunts you because you know you have failed to combat your greatest challenges of faith out of fear, frustration, and distress. How long have you allowed it to linger in your Promised Land? How long will you allow it to linger before you conquer it in Jesus' name?

Forgive As You Go Mary Green VIEW MORE INFO When someone does you wrong, do you forgive immediately? Or do you allow regret and anger to build up in your heart? In Forgive as You Go, Mary Tisdale Green shows the importance of not allowing our hearts to harbor resentment and hatred because of sin, anger, or offenses from others. Through the lives of the biblical patriarchs, you will see how keeping our lives free from unforgiveness will help us have a more joyful life, and keep us in close communion with our Heavenly Father, our families, and our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Get the Hell Out! L.W. Francisco III VIEW MORE INFO After twenty-three years in ministry, I have a passion to see the body of Christ experience what I believe is the right of every believer, and that is to live an abundant life in the here and now. The fact of the matter is, God wants His children to live an abundant life and He actually gives us the tools or the keys to make it happen. It's simply called a 'Kingdom mentality'. Now, for the purpose of this book, I won't go into a deep theological explanation of a Kingdom mentality. I am not trying to impress anyone with my prowess of scriptural interpretation. I simply want to share with you how to live an abundant life starting RIGHT NOW! I intentionally made this book a short read so that you can read it over and over and allow the principles contained therein to saturate your mind and heart. If you are fed up with "Hell" living in and occupying your mind, now is the time to stand up and boldly proclaim, GET THE HELL OUT!

God is Greater than Family Mess Joey Johnson VIEW MORE INFO On the basis of the biblical phrase, "visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and fourth generation," the author traces Family Mess or "generational bondage" in the family of Abraham to the fourth generation. As the father of Israel and of the Christian faith, Abraham provides an excellent example for us to examine his family mess in order to help us conquer our own. God worked in the midst of Abraham's family problems to give the promise of a brighter future. He gave Abraham and his posterity a destiny that overcame their outward limitations. Praise God that He does the same thing for us, the spiritual children of Abraham.

How to Use the Promises of God Vince Cedrone VIEW MORE INFO The Holy Spirit was my number one mentor in learning the promises of God. I have taught on the promises of God, and I believe that if Christians can learn the power of these promises, they will live as the head and not the tail. They will learn to make stumbling blocks their stepping stones. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, I have listed every major promise that a Christian would need and how to use each of them. Satan knows the word of God and one of his biggest fears is a Christian who knows how to defeat him with the promises. The promises are a mighty weapon when used properly.

Lord of the Flies Joey Johnson VIEW MORE INFO Distractions are a major threat to leadership. Just as a fly can shift a bus driver's focus -from his main task of driving a vehicle safely to killing an irritating insect -- a distraction can cause a leader to lose sight of his main goal. Drawing on Biblical principles and personal experience, Bishop Joey Johnson uses the metaphor of the fly to examine why God allows distractions in a leader's life and how the devil uses distractions to get a leader away from his main goal. In this much-needed leadership book, Johnson shows how leaders can keep their focus on their goals in the midst of irritations, detractors, enemies, and obstacles.

Married and Wanna be Single, Single and Wanna be Married Hazel Claiborn VIEW MORE INFO A must read for any woman, whether married or single. I awoke one morning after completing a hundred hours of fasting and was inspired to write about my experiences in counseling and listening to single women and married women inside and outside of the church. I have spent hundreds of relentless hours listening to single Christian and non-Christian women who are not spiritually ready for marriage, but yet want to be married, and to married women who want to be single again due to prematurely getting married and not wanting to do the mature thing and stay and face the common problems that come when two people get married. --Dr. Hazel Claiborn

Moving Forward and Making a Difference Arthur L. Mackey VIEW MORE INFO In his newest book, Arthur L. Mackey Jr. lets us know that everyone in every realm of life -- believers and non-believers, journalists, reporters, and news anchors; as well as Independents, Democrats, and Republicans, are talking about moving forward. Mackey chronicles great thinkers and notable past and present day movers and shakers of history such as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai, Joel Osteen, Oprah Winfrey, Israel Houghton, Frederick Douglas, and John Maxwell who have emphasized the importance of the concept of moving forward. Yet Mackey makes it crystal clear when, where, why, what, and with whom this moving forward concept and conversation first began. Mackey clearly shows in Moving Forward and Making a Difference that God Himself was the Being to first proclaim the positive and progressive message that motivates the masses in drastic need of freedom and economic, social, and political change. Since God was the first to discuss the concept of moving forward. Then secular society needs to receive and respect His Word to hurting humanity in drastic need of meaning.

Written mostly with those who knew the father, Dr. Harold A. Carter, who was a product of the Deep South and a ministerial licentiate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in mind, anyone will find the son's honoring of his father's almost sixty years of preaching the Gospel and fifty-five years of effective and creative pastoring insightful, touching, at times humorous, and overall a testament that God was and is at work in the family's lineage.

No More Chains! Felecia Artis VIEW MORE INFO The truth is we are all bound by something—bad credit, illness, our weight, other peoples’ opinions, low self-esteem, strained relationships, fear, depression, unforgiveness, feelings of failure, unworthiness, and loneliness, even a loss of hope and faith. "No More Chains!" takes readers on a journey through real-life stories that resemble these issues of captivity that many face, suffer in silence over, and seldom talk about. These issues often keep us from living the life we desire and from fulfilling our purpose and destiny on this earth.

Readers evolve on a path to freedom and healing; and they emerge whole, free, and empowered to press through their issues and passionately pursue their purpose and destiny.

Positive Christian Affirmations Nancy Strong VIEW MORE INFO This one year journal and devotional, which you can start on any day of the year and continue throughout 365 days, offers a positive daily outlook on life. This book came to me in dreams all the way from the title to the end. The dreams started after a divorce. I started working two jobs and was extremely tired upon retiring to sleep. I am not an author or at least did not believe myself to be one. I don't normally dream either. But these dreams were so vivid that I could wake and write them down and go right back to sleep. Then the morning after the dream, what was written down was, I felt, as it should be written, other than correcting spelling, etc.

Psalm 23 for Today Larry Ellis VIEW MORE INFO The 23rd Psalm is a classic. It is eternal in its meaning and contemporary in its application. One cannot improve upon this text. We need to know that the shepherd cares for the sheep today! The needs are different. The valleys are different. The enemies are different. However, human needs have not change. The search continues for someone to lead us to a place of rest, relevance, and refreshment. As an author, I desire to contribute to the conversation with the psalmist and the shepherd. It is possible to draw fresh water from old wells. In the chapters, “His Name is On You”, “Valley Walk Don’t Run”, and “Happy Valley” are means to explore the psalm from the seat of modernity. The “No Fear Zone” and “God’s Teaching Tools” are again new lenses to look at current situations. Ultimately, I am in hopes of rekindling interest in this timeless treasure. The Shepherd is still good. He still leads and he still cares for his own. The assurance he gives is just what we need in a world gone awry.

Socio-Religious Essays on American Society Bobby Mills VIEW MORE INFO Has American society torn down the moral walls?

(Proverbs 14:34). We are in the biblical last days. Too many Americans are taking wrong and attempting to make it right and taking right and attempting to make it wrong, and making it work for a while.

The Church: The Family of Families Joey Johnson VIEW MORE INFO You may be saying to yourself, "another book on the family," or you may be wondering why a book on the Black family? Is there any difference between a Black family and any other family? I say definitely! The racial and cultural differences that exist among all peoples of the world necessitate that their problems be different and unique. I do believe that, in essence, all families have basic similarities. This would be true from my point of view for a number of reasons. First of all, since we all come from common ancestry (according to the Bible), it stands to reason that all family living grows out of that ancestry. Second, I believe profoundly in the Bible, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holy Word. I believe that the Bible gives principles that cover every situation and circumstance of life. Furthermore, the Bible specifically gives principles for stable family living. These principles are good for all people no matter what race, color, or creed. --Bishop Joey Johnson
