P.I. Bill Miller takes on a seemingly straightforward case, only to find himself wandering through a twisted trail of deceit as people begin dying around him.  To complicate matters further, he finds himself attracted to his client, a lady of mystery who is definitely not on the level.  When unknown thugs threaten him, he begins to wonder – were they sent by her husband or by the mob?  The case takes on even deadlier dimensions than he had imagined as Harlem’s Passionate Rage explodes and Bill and his friends become caught up in a gang war over drug dealing.    The mystery lady’s husband is murdered and she disappears, but not before leaving Bill with a huge pile of money.  Bill uses his stake to open his own detective agency, and soon becomes well-known throughout New York City for cracking the toughest cases.    Blending elements of human drama and realistic settings, author Glenn Michael Ragland has penned a romantically suspenseful, fast-paced novel sure to please the most discriminating palate.

Most Christians feel some connection with the divine, but how many keenly understand the relationship between members of the Holy Trinity? In Tongues of Fire: A Book about the Holy Spirit, Deborah G. Ezell explores the Person of the Holy Spirit, using a systematic method to illustrate His origin, His link with Jesus Christ, and the ways in which He manifests Himself in the believer’s daily life. 
Incorporating her intimate experience of gaining peace by becoming more profoundly committed to operating from a true position of faith, the author reflects on how the Holy Spirit’s gifts to humankind may be utilized most effectively to strengthen the Church, its congregation, and surrounding community. 
Asserting that achieving such a goal begins with the individual, Ms. Ezell begins by relating her personal journey as she moved away from the habits and lifestyle that may have been preventing her from realizing a real link with God. The author further intertwines thoughts on her own evolution as she defines each phase of knowing the Holy Spirit, then helps the reader confirm his or her progress by furnishing "Review" sections following each chapter. 
Whether one already feels secure in a bond with the Holy Trinity or searches for a deeper spiritual knowledge, Ms. Ezell advances a viable program for investigating the nuances of the Holy Spirit as a supportive force. At a time when contemporary challenges have the capacity to lead the mortal astray, Tongues of Fire: A Book about the Holy Spirit shines a guiding light toward salvation.
