From “Alive” to “Zone,” author Wenefer S. White, the daughter of a preacher, shares critical elements of her life. In A-Z: My Jesus Welcomed Encounter, she narrates a collection of stories where something, someone, or the circumstances worked together for her good to create a spiritual rendezvous. Each of the anecdotes, gathered from more than her sixty years of life, begins with a letter of the alphabet and is followed by a word or a phrase that highlights the story. At the end of the story, White encourages reflection. Have you experienced a similar event? How did it impact you? Some humorous and some sad, she delivers an alphabetical view of her being reflecting on her family, friends, and faith. A-Z: My Jesus Welcomed Encounter challenges you to take the next step, to determine what’s in your mind and heart you desire to create or become. Make a decision. Then, create a flexible and workable plan that inspires you to keep your commitment to the plan

My first book was a five-year project. The thought of writing another one never crossed my mind. And I really did think I was out of things to say. Anyway, my sisters won't stop asking, "Have you begun writing your second book yet?" Then I'd reply something like, "I hadn't planned on it." And then the 2020 Pandemic hit, and we were forced to stay indoors, and that's when I heard the "voiceless whisper." It’s a term I coined in my first book to characterize my inner voice. Sophia is her name. Two of my favorite things to do are write and share. I will write on flaws, mental health, spirituality, the joy of living, aging, and many more I'll chat to you in first-person and share my ideas in this book. I hope this book inspires some "aha!" moments. These moments are really. These moments are real! Without a doubt, this book is an excellent resource for facilitating insightful healthy group discussions and debates.

Loneliness is an epidemic, but you can live life with a deep sense of belonging. If you’ve ever felt that ache to connect and belong, you’re not alone: three out of every five people are suffering from loneliness. No group is excluded—married, unmarried, parents, pastors, leaders, elderly, and teenagers. We all experience moments . . . or long seasons of heart-aching loneliness. And it hurts. It can hurt right to the core. In Cultivating Deeper Connections in a Lonely World, relationship expert, mother, grandmother, and John Maxwell Certified Coach Becky Harling taps into the deep ache of loneliness and shares with readers a rich theology of belonging. Does God ache for us? What does it mean that we belong to Him? How do we establish a deeply bonded relationship with others? What steps can we take to improve our relationships? Because we were made for God and for community, relational isolation or brokenness is incredibly painful. But we don’t have to live isolated and unconnected. In fact, we must not. Our souls were designed for more. Deeply rooted in Scripture and joined with reflection questions, this book shows us how we can strengthen our relationships and experience deep connection.

What if you were told that your grandfather is coming by the house tonight but you know that statement can't be true because he's dead and his funeral is tomorrow? I was twelve years old at the time when I heard those words. This was my first introduction into the world of malevolent demonic spirits. You will see exactly what spiritual warfare is really like--no red glowing eyes, no green vomit, no unusual smells, no possession, no levitation, and no flies. You will see what evil really does--what I did and the mistakes I made. You will see what the Holy Spirit showed me, what he told me to do, and how he protected and helped me to overcome the evil that came to my residence. This extremely interesting book, Beyond the Thin Veil, was written as a collection of short stories tied together, creating a series of short scenes within a larger story. Named after a prophet in the Bible, the author sets out to write stories of significant events about himself and the people that were important in his life in an entertaining and uniquely original story. Being born out of wedlock, Black, and with a Jewish first name, then being told when he was in the fifth grade that he had been adopted, turned his whole life upside down. He struggles in meeting his biological mom and his brothers and sisters for the first time. He found the inner strength and courage to push through those childhood years. Knowing little to nothing of his family's history, the author sets out to make sure that his defendants get a glimpse into his life, something that they wouldn't find on ancestry.com. Who doesn't like a good story? Like the Roman military tribune Clavius (Joseph Fiennes) in the movie Risen, the author took a similar journey that made me question my own held beliefs in spirituality, religion, and the supernatural, and I discovered many truths about my experiences. The book is original, dynamic, informative, unbelievable, entertaining, and true; it's quite a tale. And if you are fascinated by the supernatural and want to know more about the Holy Spirit, angels, demons, and spiritual warfare, then you will enjoy reading about his encounters with spirits, good and bad. How his faith in God strengthened him after receiving a Cancer diagnosis while writing the book. He will take you on an adventurous roller-coaster journey of emotional highs and lows. The author believes in the biblical truths and God's promises that he heard when he was a child. Attending a small church in California, he has put into practice those teachings and principles of faith, overcoming fear and life's hurdles. Nathan believes "When you take this journey through these pages, you will find that faith overcomes fear." The author encourages you to find your God-given purpose in life, to see your Boaz, God's providence, God's interventions in your life. Don't just survive--thrive!

Here are the compelling stories of eleven "reverts", Catholics who fell away from the Church and eventually came back home. Some of the people are very well-known, like Fr. John Corapi, Rick Strom and Jesse Romero, and others are known only in their smaller circles. But each person's story of why he left the Catholic Church and why he returned is a unique and moving tale of God's mercy, love and grace. There is one common denominator, though, among the writers of Welcome Home! To parapharse Archbishop Fulton Sheen, few hate the Catholic Chruch for what she teaches, but millions hate it for what they think she teaches. The defining moment of illuminating grace almost always came when our storytellers began to examine Catholic teaching for themselves.
