Broken Pieces : My Journey From Fear To Freedom
$18.11Minister JaNelle B. Latney, a native Washingtonian, is a member of Victorious Life of Faith Church in District Heights, Maryland. She is the mother of two, the grandmother of five and the godmother of three. Loving God and the things of God are her passion for life. She enjoys writing and over the years has written many poems, plays, short stories and songs which have been used all across this nation. Broken Pieces is her first publication to be released.
JaNelle realized that freedom was not a choice but a right for those who surrendered their lives to the Lord. Needing to be set free from chains that kept her in captivity for years, she started her journey to possess everything that was promised unto her.
She is grateful that the Lord took the broken pieces of her life and put them back together. Since gaining her freedom, God has placed a hunger within her to help restore women who have been abused, misused and tossed to the side not only by the world but also by the church. She believes time, patience and encouragement are the keys needed to break through the walls of destruction that hurtful women have in place. Extending God’s love and sharing his word are the keys to reaching those whose faith have wavered.
Her foundational scripture is Psalms 34:1 – I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Her motto is: Always remember the Lord and He will remember you. If questioned about her level of praise, her response is you don’t know the cost of the oil that’s in my alabaster box. Being whole and complete in Him, she boasts praise is what I do!

Saved By Her Enemy
$20.99For her entire life, Rafraf, a devout Muslim, had been told that Americans were the enemy. Her understanding of the world, of her place in it, and of the United States had been steeped in the culture of Iraq under the rule of Saddam Hussein. Yet, in the midst of insurgents attempting to kidnap and kill her, she found herself on the receiving end of lifesaving help from those she considered her enemies.
Rafraf suddenly finds herself living with a Christian family in the Bible Belt of America. Nothing had prepared her for this new reality-the life of a college student in a vastly foreign culture, in a community as far from her expectations as she could have imagined, and in a family that opens their hearts to enfold her.
Saved by Her Enemy is a riveting journey of two very different people from opposite sides of the world, of faith, of experience, and of expectations. The dramatic intersection of their lives and their journey together is an inspiration to those who have ever felt there was more to life than the world they knew.
A young Iraqi woman, an American war correspondent, and a true tale of friendship, faith, and family against the backdrop of war and the collision of cultures
This is a story of a very unlikely friendship-between American war correspondent Don Teague and Rafraf Barrak, an Iraqi college girl who won a job as a translator for NBC during the early months of violence in the wake of the American invasion of Iraq.
While covering a story together, the two were nearly killed by a bomb, an experience that created a bond between them that led them down a path neither could have imagined.
What follows is a story of transformation, as Rafraf-from a devout Muslim family-becomes the target of terrorist threats to kidnap and murder her. Don and his fellow correspondents mobilize to help save her life and suddenly Rafraf finds herself on the receiving end of an offer for safety and a new life in the United States.
Dramatically transplanted from the streets of Iraq to the Bible Belt of middle America, Rafraf finds everything that she knew-or thought she knew-about herself, her values, her world, even faith and family, turned upside down. Meanwhile, Don; his wife, Kiki; and their children discover they’ve embarked on an adventure with Rafraf that reshapes their lives.
This captivating story inspires us all to join Don and Rafraf in discovering that there is far more to life than the world we know.

This book on the whole gives the readers the best possible answer they can consider in the absence of a reason “why”. Things happen in life that we can’t expect, don’t deserve and can’t understand, but we will only rob ourselves if we throw our hands up and dig our heels in. Choosing to move on opens doors that would not be possible if we give up.
The author suggests that the reader enjoy this book in a couple of different ways. The reader can read this book in the normal way, peruse the book, and consider each biblical reference at the end of each chapter. At that point the reader can decide how he or she would have handled the situations in the book in their own way. The reader can use this knowledge to apply to any circumstance they may encounter in the future. May you enjoy reading this book and gain insight, knowledge, and wisdom for future encounters.

Spider Preacher Man
$15.93SPIDER PREACHER MAN From Motorcycle Gangs to God . . . Spider Montero, a mix of two rich cultures-Hispanic and American Indian-begins life on a parched southwestern reservation. When the Monteros move to the Los Angeles community of Watts, calamity after calamity strikes the boy and his family, crushing the youngster’s spirit. Scorned as a “half-breed” by schoolmates, Spider toughens into a rebel who joins a gang in junior high. Soon, alcohol pulls him into a whirlpool of addictions and blackouts. Even beautiful Susanne Reves cannot rescue Spider and she, too, becomes entrapped in the same depressing whirlpool. Graduating from school gangs to motorcycle gangs, Spider Montero enters another culture that includes peddling drugs. History weaves throughout this true story, history such as the racial tensions that explode into riots the summer of 1965, destroying the Monteros’ longtime neighborhood of Watts. Meanwhile, Spider begins to realize he’s being pursued. Whether confronted by knife-wielding gangsters in a dark alley or left for dead along a desert road, this modern Jonah is miraculously rescued time after time-until he comes face to face with his Pursuer and the most profound rescue of all.

Captive In Iran
$18.99Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh knew they were putting their lives on the line. Islamic laws in Iran forbade them from sharing their Christian beliefs, but in three years, they’d covertly put New Testaments into the hands of twenty thousand of their countrymen and started two secret house churches.
In 2009, they were finally arrested and held in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran, a place where inmates are routinely tortured and executions are commonplace. In the face of ruthless interrogations, persecution, and a death sentence, Maryam and Marziyeh chose to take the radical-and dangerous-step of sharing their faith inside the very walls of the government stronghold that was meant to silence them. In Captive in Iran, two courageous Iranian women recount how God used their 259 days in Evin Prison to shine His light into one of the world’s darkest places, giving hope to those who had lost everything and showing love to those in despair.

Sing Over Me
$23.68Since 1988, I’ve been publicly sharing the story of how I walked out of a perceived homosexual identity. Why? Because I remember being a boy wondering if freedom was possible. The church didn’t have answers. The world didn’t have answers. The gay community just tried to make me give up and accept this as my innate identity. Yet, something deep inside of me kept knocking at the door of my heart saying, “There must be more. This cannot be your ultimate destiny and identity.” When God met me with the Truth of the transforming power of Jesus Christ, and I began what I call my incredible journey, I began to realize that I’d been lied to by the world and the philosophies of man. After seven years of freedom under my belt, the Lord asked me to begin publicly sharing my story because there were others out there who felt the same as I felt-that there must be more. This book is for those who want to experience God in an intimate, life-changing way, regardless of whether or not they’ve ever struggled with unwanted same-sex attraction. This is my story, yet really it’s the story of redemption found in knowing Jesus Christ intimately. –Dennis Jernigan

Playing Before The Lord
$29.99Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) has been called the father of the symphony and the string quartet. A friend of Mozart and a teacher of Beethoven, “Papa” Haydn composed an amazing variety of music — symphonies, string quartets, concerti, masses, operas, oratorios, keyboard works — and his prolific output celebrates both the heights and depths of life.
In this fascinating book Calvin Stapert combines his skills as a biographer and a musicologist to recount Haydn’s steady rise from his humble origins to true musical greatness. Unlike other biographers, Stapert argues that Haydn’s work was a product of his devout Catholic faith, even though he worked in an increasingly secular society and the bulk of his output was in secular genres. In addition to telling Haydn’s life story, Stapert includes accessible listening guides to The Creation and portions of other well-known works to help Haydn listeners more fully appreciate the brilliance behind his music.

Questions For Study Or ReflectionAdditional Info
If beauty is only skin-deep, then why does the color of that skin matter so much? Why does it create dividing lines within one’s own race, community, and even the family?From birth, Jinnie was darker than her siblings, and relatives unthinkingly punished her for it. She learned early that those with lighter skin-tones in the black community were considered smarter, prettier, and more worthy. The race war was just as fierce within the black community as it was between blacks and whites, but in more subtle ways, with fewer options to find success.
Despite the constant obstacles, Jinnie earned scholarships, left home, and entered a new world, where the age-old battle of skin-tone continued. She blossomed as she learned that designations such as “blue-black” and “pitch-black” didn’t automatically mean failure. Her outer beauty increased as her inner beauty grew stronger.
However, it wasn’t until she discovered the battle in her own heart, mind, and soul, and trusted in Christ’s power, that she found peace, healing, and victory in the most vital war of all.

When Quitting Is Not An Option
$19.95Castle Quay Books
Can I do this? I asked myself. I’d been repeating the same question for the last 24 hours. People seem to say, “It’s Arvid-of course he can do it.” If they knew how many times I struggled with self-doubt, with the question of whether I should bike another kilometre, they would never feel so confident. This was one of those times. Giving up now was, for me, symbolic of giving up on the kids at MCF. Many of them had been abandoned by parents, relatives and society, left to fend for themselves. God had never given up on them, and I was not going to quit a silly bike ride. I made up my mind: I will not give up. When Arvid set out on a 40 km bike ride only to give up after 30 km, his future as a cyclist seemed bleak. Yet, more than 15 years later, Arvid was racing alongside the world’s most elite ultra-marathon athletes. This is his story of failure, courage, disappointment, triumph and laughter-and a few life lessons along the way.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Harriet Beecher Stowe
$34.99So you’re the little woman who started this big war, Abraham Lincoln is said to have quipped when he met Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her 1852 novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin converted readers by the thousands to the anti-slavery movement and served notice that slavery’s days were numbered. Overnight Stowe became a celebrity, but to defenders of slavery she was the devil in petticoats.
Most writing about Stowe treats her as a literary figure and social reformer while underplaying her Christian faith. But Nancy Koester’s biography treats Stowe’s faith as central to her life — both her public fight against slavery and her own struggle through deep personal grief to find a gracious God.
