He Leadeth Me
$16.00Captured by a Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a “Vatican spy,” Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. Only through an utter reliance on God’s will did he manage to endure the extreme hardship. He tells of the courage he found in prayer–a courage that eased the loneliness, the pain, the frustration, the anguish, the fears, the despair. For, as Ciszek relates, the solace of spiritual contemplation gave him an inner serenity upon which he was able to draw amidst the “arrogance of evil” that surrounded him. Ciszek learns to accept the inhuman work in the infamous Siberian salt mines as a labor pleasing to God. And through that experice, he was able to turn the adverse forces of circumstance into a source of positive value and a means of drawing closer to the compassionate and never-forsaking Divine Spirit.
He Leadeth Me is a book to inspire all Christians to greater faith and trust in God–even in their darkest hour. As the author asks, “What can ultimately trouble the soul that accepts every moment of every day as a gift from the hands of God and strives always to do his will?”

Stories I Never Told You
$22.99The story of John Rozema’s life begins in the tropical paradise of the Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia). From the Netherlands, to the United States, and to many places around the world, we follow John as he shares with us his amazing life. We feel the pain, agony, and hardships he endured at the hands of an abusive stepfather; understand the almost-impenetrable fortifications he built around his heart; watch him masquerade behind a thousand masks as he searches for love in all the wrong places; and struggle with him on his subsequent quest for truth. After John’s miraculous encounter with the living God one cold November night in 1977, we journey with him as the Lord takes John to many mountain top experiences, but also through deep, dark valleys he could never imagine. More than a memoir just for his children and friends, The Stories I Never Told You is a gripping true-life account of the life of a man God reached out to save. It’s a story that could be our own.

Health For All
$21.16When Dan Fountain and his wife arrived in the Congo in 1961, the challenges to effective medical missions seemed overwhelming.

Health for All tells the story of an ever-increasing vision-from curative care to community health, from a barely functioning hospital to a network of successful health services, from a lack of qualified workers to a local residency training program, from biomedical reductionism to whole person care, from cultural stalemate to worldview transformation. Dr. Fountain’s insights into health and wholeness have changed countless lives and communities. Part memoir, part history, part textbook, Health for All is the legacy of a man who patterned his life and labor after that of the Great Physician.

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!

This book on the whole gives the readers the best possible answer they can consider in the absence of a reason “why”.

Choosing to move on opens doors that would not be possible if we give up.

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.

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

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

Ghost Boy : The Miraculous Escape Of A Misdiagnosed Boy Trapped Inside His
$19.99They all thought he was gone. But he was alive and trapped inside his own body for ten years.
In January 1988 Martin Pistorius, aged twelve, fell inexplicably sick. First he lost his voice and stopped eating. Then he slept constantly and shunned human contact. Doctors were mystified. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound. Martin’s parents were told an unknown degenerative disease left him with the mind of a baby and less than two years to live.
Martin was moved to care centers for severely disabled children. The stress and heartache shook his parents’ marriage and their family to the core. Their boy was gone. Or so they thought.
Ghost Boy is the heart-wrenching story of one boy’s return to life through the power of love and faith. In these pages, readers see a parent’s resilience, the consequences of misdiagnosis, abuse at the hands of cruel caretakers, and the unthinkable duration of Martin’s mental alertness betrayed by his lifeless body.
We also see a life reclaimed-a business created, a new love kindled-all from a wheelchair. Martin’s emergence from his own darkness invites us to celebrate our own lives and fight for a better life for others.

Homestead : A Memoir
$20.00Joining her husband in the fight to create a home out of a rugged stretch of sagebrush, rattlesnakes, and sand in Eastern Oregon, Jane Kirkpatrick uneasily relinquishes the security of a professional career; the convenience of electricity, running water, and a phone line; and, perhaps most daunting, the pleasures of sporting a professional manicure. But the pull of the land is irresistible, and the couple dreams of gathering their first harvest from a yet-to-be-planted vineyard.
Rather than the simple life they had envisioned, Jane and Jerry find themselves confronting flood and fire, government bureaucracies, and runaway calves, among other disheartening setbacks. Jane frequently questions the sanity of pioneering in this remote area, known as Starvation Point, and she fights against panic with each trip they make down the seven-mile, boulder-strewn, rut-carved “driveway” she calls “the reptile road,” which threatens to spill them into the ravine with every lurch of the truck.
But as she learns to navigate her new life, this novice rancher discovers that disappointment, isolation, and danger can’t compete with the generosity of their rural community, the strength of family bonds, and the faithfulness of the God who planted in their hearts the dream of carving a refuge out of an inhospitable land.

Threshold 2 : Time Is Once Go With Truth
$33.26Flying home to New York I pictured my boxes of diaries being delivered, driven like a western covered wagon train slowly rolling across America. Back in hometown the collection of stories grew by searching for a church, new jobs, another dog and stumbling in and out of love.
January of 2002 after having major surgery I began reading 240 diaries and shaping events. Honoring God by illuminating my trials and blessings was my motive for writing. Telling the story of God’s love became my objective. By 2007 I quit one part time job to carve out quality time as writing matured into a daily labor of love.
In March 2012 I discovered Westbow Press. Prayerfully putting my manuscript into the hands of their editor’s, the hard work of rewriting progressed. My hope is to encourage those who think they know Jesus as Savior to be sure and obey Him as Lord. Lord willing many more will come to love Him.

Threshold 1 : Time Is Once Reach For Hope
$58.60From a 1974 motorcycle crash in upstate New York my memoir was born. Seven years of diary writing was the only medicine helping me through confusion and memory loss.
