Inmate 46857 : If God Can Change Me He Can Change Anybody
$16.99INMATE 46857 sat on his prison cot at Parchman Penitentiary in 1982 fingering his homemade knife and contemplating murdering two fellow inmates just to strengthen his tough reputation. As the nineteen-year-old convict visualized himself stabbing his intended victims, God intervened and provided deliverance. The encounter took only a moment, but getting there had taken a lifetime. Instantly, all the years of anger and rejection flashed before Eddie Spencer’s eyes. As memories flooded back, Inmate 46857 felt the pain and poverty of his childhood. He pictured himself the morning his only pair of shoes had fallen apart and his mother sent him to school wearing his sister’s shoes. As Eddie stepped into his first grade classroom, his classmates taunted him, “Look at Eddie Spencer. He’s got little-girl shoes on!” Humiliation and revenge gripped his young mind, launching him on a journey of crime and violence in the streets of the Mississippi Delta Finally, Eddie recalled the night he slipped into a house, pointed a gun at a sleeping man’s face and demanded, “Give me all your money!” His victim handed over the cash, but he also spoke some amazing words that Eddie would never forget. As the words replayed in his head, Inmate 46857 knew exactly what he must do. He put away his “shank” and made the choice that changed his heart.

Im Blind Whats Your Excuse
$20.61In my senior year of high school, my plan for the future was to be a chicken farmer in Arizona. Little did I know that God had a very different plan for my life. Over time, I have come to believe that God orders our steps, through tragedy and triumph, to serve Him as he sees fit.”
Life can throw many unexpected curve balls our way which affect our outlook on our ability to serve God. God doesn’t want us to just survive our personal tragedies, He wants us to thrive under His personal care and direction.
Ron Lester had the odds stacked against him. From a very young age he found himself working to help his family survive some very lean times. Because of dyslexia, he had a difficult time learning in school. Later, he found out the reason some things were so difficult for him was that he was gradually going blind. Despite all the obstacles in the way, Ron was able to surrender to God’s plans for his life. He went from a farm boy who could barely read to a full-time pastor, eventually earning his doctorate.
This is the story of how God directed Ron’s steps through many difficult circumstances, showing that the impossible is possible with God’s provision and power in our lives.
Dr. Lester is a true inspiration to anyone that feel they cannot do what God has called them to do just because they have some kind of disability. God will make a way, as long as they are willing. Dr. Lester is an Associate Pastor in Tucson, AZ. He and his wife, Betty, have 2 boys and 8 grandchildren.

Shelene Bryan had it all-a wonderful husband, two great kids, a rewarding job, a dream home, and more. Then a friend saw the pictures on the refrigerator door of the two African kids Shelene’s family sponsors and she asked, “How do you know those kids are real?”
That question changed Shelene’s life forever. In Love, Skip, Jump, Shelene shares how she loved being safe and comfortable. She had no desire to leave the USA. But she couldn’t shake the question and soon after was on a plane to Africa.

His quiet voice can finally be heard.” Some of the most amazing things God wants to do in our lives involve allowing him to take us on uncomfortable journeys. God is at work all around us. We don’t need to leave the country to see that. We just need to open our eyes. Comfort and safety are the biggest life-obstructing conditions of our current generation.

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.

From Ashes To Glory
$17.99Even Before Publishing
CT (Charlie) Studd was a cricketer of the highest class. He played in the famed Test Match between England and Australia in 1882 that began the legend of the Ashes. From Ashes to Glory tells the story of this remarkable, dedicated man, and contains an authentic account of the 1882 Ashes Test, with all its drama. At the peak of his fame Studd retired from cricket to serve as a missionary in China. In 1885 he was one of seven men of wealth and privilege (‘The Cambridge Seven’), who shocked the nation, by giving up everything to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Chinese. While there he suffered much, but saw many people come to Christ. He later spent six years as a missionary in India, where he opened a school which is still serving the community today. In 1913 he went to Central Africa and became the founder of the mission organisation WEC International, which today has about 1,800 workers in 50 countries. Dr Evan Davies, former International Director of WEC International, recommends this book and reminds us that ‘Today thousands enjoy being part of God’s family because of Studd’s pioneer example.’Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

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.

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.

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.

$13.73“My childhood was stolen. I never knew what it was like to be in a loving, caring, nurturing and safe home. I never knew that I had value or purpose.”
How can a person build a fulfilling life for herself when the foundations were ripped out from under her? Lorrie Green is here to tell you that it’s not impossible. When her voice went unheard through sexual abuse and trauma, she succumbed to the enemy’s tactic to keep her silent and destroy her life. However, God was with her every step of the way and now she tells her testimony with the voice that could not be silenced. Despite divorces, an abortion, broken relationships with her siblings and more, Lorrie has learned that her heavenly Father was present in each one of those gruesome moments.
Both her parents abandoned her in different ways, but despite lacking earthly family, she knows she is God’s beloved daughter and His presence makes the difference between life and death. Even when she felt the most alone, He was opening doors and making a way for her to be healthy-spiritually, emotionally and physically. Read My Renewed Voice today to learn how Lorrie had the strength to continue on through all these situations and not only survive, but also live as her true self. She knows God Himself restored her identity-now she is using the voice He has given her to let you know He will do the same for you.
