James Whitaker grew up in a Christian household, but fell into the temptation of teenage rebellion. After spending several years in prison, he returns home to Washington, D.C., yearning only to spend time with his devout, long-suffering mother. However, several harrowing events thwart his homecoming plans. A fellow halfway house resident attacks him and forces him to escape from his halfway house. A distraught father targets him for revenge for the disappearance of his young daughter. An old friend resurfaces --someone he hoped he would never see again. These events threaten to destroy James' life and the lives of his family and friends. A church social worker may have the solution to James' problems, but her efforts to help James only exacerbate her own struggles and yearning for companionship, and put her, too, at serious risk.   Could these events have something to do with a prophecy he received as a child? Or are they the natural repercussions of a fateful decision made several years ago? In this novel set in the gritty urban environs of the nation's capital, drama, suspense and romance come together to create a compelling and realistic story of love, vengeance, and how decisions made in a few seconds can affect the rest of your life.

Christian fiction from debut author Debra Sue Brice.
 Dana has lived her whole life for this moment. It is her chance to shine and break through to the demanding equine world that is attainable only to the extremely wealthy or incredibly lucky. It is now or never.
 Dana finds the courage to leave her family and travel from Ohio to Canada to train with Olympic rider Amy Arnot, who has a reputation for being tough. Trying her best to leave her judgmental sarcasm at home, Dana attempts to excel at her tasks and training while getting to know the other riders at the farm. Determined to stick to God's plan, Dana tries to get in the good graces of fellow equine royalty, and she piques the interest of a particularly handsome barn manager. But an unfolding scandal is looming. Despite all of Dana’s hard work, her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could come crashing down to a devastating end.

There is a high probability that either you or someone very close to you will be afflicted with cancer. Will you withdraw, quietly accept your fate, and passively accept protocols of treatment? Or, will you seize the moment, the lessons to be learned, the opportunities which will open, and the purposes that will be plentiful? This book champions the latter response—from the transparent and personal perspective of a patient and caregiver who have endured four diagnoses of cancer, multiple chemotherapy treatments, a stem cell transplant, and are currently enrolled in a clinical trial with 300 other relapsed cancer patients worldwide.The title, “Don’t Drop the Mic!” implores the cancer patient to clear away the clutter of destructive emotions and responses to the unwelcomed affliction, and instead, learn lesson upon lesson (holy lessons) that bring fresh insights to life, boldly engage and make the most of opportunities which open alongside of the cancer, and find and pursue new and invigorating purposes as you pioneer personal paths you never before expected to travel.Lessons learned… opportunities opened… purposes to be pursued… these are unexpected joys, responsibilities, and holy Callings given to us by our Lord Jesus in our sufferings. Jesus also gives us a mic, an unexpected audience (people listen … really listen… when you have cancer), more-than-sufficient grace and strength, and then says to us, “The world is listening; what are you going to say? Don’t drop the mic!”

There's an elephant in the room... and in the church. Gluttony: the sin of eating too much food, and eating for the wrong reason. The natural consequences of social embarrassment, health problems, and obesity plague many families these days but no one wants to talk about the underlying respectable sin. When Pastor Eric Harvey's family faces a crisis, Eric turns to the Bible for perspective and answers. What he learns launches his family and his church on a ten-week challenge full of laughter and tears, prayers and sweat, and even coffee and homemade pastries. Some members react with anger, some with doubt, others with enthusiasm - like Nick Saint, their very own professional Santa. Hearts and lives are changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ and by true repentance. Some people will lose weight, too.

If it were not for the mercy of God and His unfathomable provisions, this story might not have been told. Rosalind Smith’s unvarnished memoir tells the story of her childhood and young adulthood growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It details how she, despite having earned several degrees, eventually spiralized into drugs and alcohol. With often brutal honesty, Lady Smith peels back the veneer and reveals the ugliness of her past—the generational sins that have affected her, her relationship with her family, her time homeless and on the streets, and an uncompromising act one night in her bathtub. She revisits her past, and praises God for her victorious present, praying that God will use her story to change someone’s future.

All of these subjects are important in a flagger's life and ministry. It is part of who we are and our benefits from the Lord. Part two includes information on how to make a basic flag and what is needed to do so.Flagging: An Audience Unto One asserts and demonstrates that flagging is more than just performance art. It is a glorious and graceful worship style that doesn't depend on an audience of men and women. For true worship flagging is done unto the Lord.

Wait? Another book about faith?Yes, but this one is quite different. Faith is a non-exhaustive subject. Here you will find basic evidence, not couched in theology or philosophy, of why faith in Jesus Christ is necessary and crucial. If you are a nonbeliever, this book will lay out reasons why you should give Christianity another look, or maybe a first look. If you are a Christian, this book will not only reinforce and strengthen your belief, but will be an excellent resource for nonbelieving friends or relatives who are intent on casting Jesus aside.Faith is Not Important...It is Everything is a common sense look into faith in Jesus Christ and the fact that being born-again is the only path to salvation. Author Mike Gilles asks the reader to examine the evidence presented in this book and determine if it is reasonable and logical to accept them as fact.
