On Wings of a Butterfly is about a young woman’s plight. Because of her dysfunctional family, she had to fight her way through emotionally and physically. Her parents were divorced when she was three years old. She grew up with the hope of one day being able to have solid family values and the respect of her children.However, her mother, a Madame and well-known prostitute, sought to keep her profession in the family, threatening Sheila’s vision. Sheila looked to other women such as her grandmother, godmother, and aunts as role models for strength and encouragement. At the age of sixteen, she gave birth to her first child; eight weeks later, her fiance was murdered. At the age of twenty, she married her first husband, only to lose him to a freak accident six weeks after their first child was born. Devastated, Sheila went on to encounter many other terrible circumstances such as rapes and drug abuse, resulting in a broken heart and depression that threatened her mental instability. Early one morning, Sheila fell to her knees in hope of deliverance from a life she no longer wanted, which was sending her deeper and deeper into a pit of no return. After her deliverance, Sheila moved to the Washington, D.C., area where God began to tug on her life. She became a spokeswoman for the Gospel and a living testament to God’s glorious miracles. During this time, she met and married one of her miracles, her present husband. Sheila went into ministerial studies under the direction and leadership of her present pastor, Roland Kenner Jr., of the International Church of Christ. Many women all over the world face devastations and heartaches as they fall victim to bondage.However, it does not have to be that way. God is a healer of all things, and He can take away the pain no matter what it is, no matter how devastating.

Life Lessons From Philippians
$14.99An unexpected bill. An upcoming doctor’s appointment. A tense family visit. The list could go on. Every day struggles of all sizes creep into our lives, leaving us stressed. Frustrated. Anxious. Just plain miserable. The believers in Philippi were struggling. They were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. Trying to deal with conflict and threats of persecution. The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. He reminds us of important biblical truths and points us to Jesus as the ultimate example. Paul’s letter encourages. It inspires. His confidence reminds us of God’s wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us in this guide to joy.

God Of All Things
$19.99Abstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.
Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.
