Finding The Heart Of God
$19.99Add to cartFinding the Heart of God is an adaptation of the conversations about negative emotions that I had with my grandchildren. It is based on a class I took called Transformation Prayer Ministry* (TPM) by Ed M. Smith. Since I saw much progress when using the method with adults, I adapted some of the basic concepts taught in this ministry model for use with my young grandchildren. TPM is a prayer ministry that helps people identify their lie-based belief which causes the feeling of negative emotion. Since many young children cannot verbalize their range of emotions, one of the benefits of TPM is that they do not have to name what they are feeling but be willing to feel. One premise from TPM is, “We feel whatever we believe.” Helping a child to identify the lies that are taken to heart and to invite the Spirit of Jesus to replace it with truth, is a wonderful gift we can give our children.
The book is modeled on conversations that I had with my grandchildren over a series of years. Their answers are to the question, “Would you like to ask the Lord what He wants you to know about your pain?” I was amazed at their responses and knew they had received truth from the Spirit.

Middle School Rules Of Vontae Davis
$14.99Add to cartOver 1 million boys play high school football every year. About 6.5% of them become collegiate players. Of those who play in college, only 1.5% reach the NFL.
How daunting were those odds for Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis-a two-time Pro Bowl selection now entering his ninth NFL season?
A native of Washington D.C., Vontae endured many hardships and challenges as his parents battled drug addiction. When he was 11 years old, Vontae and his siblings were going to be placed in separate foster homes by Child Protective Services, but his grandmother Adaline refused to let them be split up-adopting and raising all seven of them together.
As a housekeeper, Adaline and her husband could barely provide for the kids financially but they instilled important values in them. Adaline provided unconditional love and timely morsels of wisdom through her firm but faithful approach.
With some guidance from his older brother Vernon-one of the most highly sought-after college recruits and a two-time Pro Bowl tight end-Vontae earned a football scholarship to the University of Illinois. After three years as a starter in Champaign, Illinois, he entered the NFL Draft and was the 25th overall selection in the first round.
The Middle School Rules of Vontae Davis will feature Vontae’s defining childhood stories and lessons learned while growing up in a D.C. neighborhood teeming with drugs and gangs. Young readers will see how Vontae thrived with the support of coaches, teachers, teammates, friends, and relatives-none more important than his grandmother.
Vontae Davis was named an NFL Players Association Community MVP during the 2015 season. He works with the Department of Child Services, the Children’s Bureau, and Hands of Hope, an organization focused on aiding orphans through adoption and foster care.
