What is joy? We can receive fleeting moments of it when we watch sunlight break through the clouds, or see a little child laugh as he blows apart the fluff of a spent dandelion. But there is only one source of true, lasting joy—and that’s our Savior, Jesus. During a season of unknowns, God opened His Word to author Gina L. Smith and taught her His definition of joy so that she could experience it deep in her heart. He helped her realize that she had been finding joy in His blessings, rather than in Him, the source of those blessings. And she learned how to “count it all joy” (James 1:2) come what may. Everyday Prayers for Joy is a thirty-day journey through God’s Word that will help you discover the joy that God wants to share with you. He is with you always and can work out all things for good. Fill yourself to overflowing with God’s joy!

Poems, Praises, Prayers, Promises presents a Christian poetry tool of evangelism that you can use again and again as a treasured gift of inspiration for finding Gods purpose for you. Before the world was made, before all things created were framed, every one of us was equipped with talents. But in order for us to discover just what we were created for, we must consult our Creator. He is the key that unlocks the treasures of talents deep down inside of us all. Our only responsibility is to perfect and use our talents. Poems, Praises, Prayers, Promises is a compilation of three decades of writings in which I share a host of modern-day praises, psalms, and hymns. Each poem is a reflection of my experience while encountering people, places and things. This book was written to evangelize everyone, from the lost to the child of God and the theologian. We all have someone in our lives that we can share something in this book with.

Faith to Conceive is a book about the challenges my husband and I have encountered in trying to conceive a child. Although everybodys story is different, Gods unmovable, unshakeable love remains the same. My prayer is that my journey would encourage, motivate, and inspire women and couples to trust in God to conceive. The story of Hannah is an excellent example of Faith in action! This book takes you through my journey and goes deeper into the life of Hannah and her faith to conceive a son who became a leader in the nation of Israel and a prophet of God. Since God shows no partiality, I know he would do the same for you. Stir up your faith today and allow God to have his way in every area of your life. As a woman, there are internal and external pressures for us to fulfill the very essence of our womanhood, and that is to give birthbirth to dreams and visions, and mostly, birth to life. There are circumstances that we face that sets a tone of discouragement, despair, and defeat, which we are tempted to speak when our heart-filled desires do not happen as we expect. We all face it in some area and time of our lives, but it is in how we respond that determines our outcomes. Michelle Joseph, a woman who endured the mountaintops and valleys, even the desert, expressly shares her journey to conceive. Michelle takes you through her struggle to live and to love, the battle to remain hopeful, and most of all, the trying of her faith to trust God at his will, way, and word. As you turn the pages, Michelle shares her emotions, cry to God, and prayers. Her hope is that you will be encouraged to stand on the promises of God and not lose hope for your desire to come through, knowing that God loves you and he is with you and for you (Minister Simone Rawlins).
