Working It Out

Author Gray does not disappoint readers with this power-packed sequel to his debut novel.

In All Things Work Together, we find Fred Bennett transitioning from being a playa to a prayer. Determined to leave the past behind Fred sets out to become the disciple of God he knows he was meant to be. Challenging his walk is Raoul Carizales. Raoul, a child recovery specialist, is confident and a bit on the cocky side. He is also Fred's rival for the affection of the beautiful Yolanda. Despite their dislike for one another they find themselves needing to work together to solve one of Raoul's cases.

The author has done a great job of bringing action, rather than drama into a work that shows that real men can and do worship God while taking care of serious business.

Love Thy Neighbour As Thyself

…And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. In a world where `Me First' has become the norm, it is refreshing to read a text as heart-felt and instructive as Touch: The Power of Touch in Transforming Lives.

Through the eyes of this hands-on pastor the reader receives life-lessons rooted in biblical foundation. It also shows us that ministry is not confined to the official positions of church leadership. Clearly this writing shows that ministry is setting your hand to doing the work of Christ, be it on your job or while at play.

With consistency, Pastor Rasmus not only stresses the necessity to know your neighbor, but also to love them. This love he speaks of has the power to effect change for not only the current recipient and the giver, but for generations to come. It is a love that has to do with a personal rather than a distant touch.

As gentle as it is direct, Touch is a read that makes us mindful of the compassion, grace and mercy of Christ. It shares the joy as well as the challenges and heartache of serving. Above all, its content has the potential to provoke self-examination. After consuming these words of passion and wisdom from one on the front line, one might ask: Is it enough to speak about change or is it my duty, my reasonable service, to become a part of the change we seek?

So As A Man Thinketh


Commanding Your Morning does not purport to present a never-revealed mystery from the Bible. Within the pages of this compact treatise Dr. Trimm brings the readers attention to two biblically based realities -- the power of thought and the spoken word.

For those who have not been able to grasp the fullness of the scriptures, or looking for a deeper insight, this work will be of great value. The author is to be commended for compiling a discourse with the intent of helping to break detrimental habits that blocks paths to fulfilling purpose.

I Can See Clearly Now

Diary of a Woman Pastor
by Sheritha Bowman


Through uncommonly portrayed candor Sheritha Bowman invites you into her world. It is a world that many strive for, but may be ill-equipped to handle.

Openly she expresses challenges faced due to her skin color, extended living and the loss of her father to the legal system during her developing years.

It will be the apparitions of her past that threaten her future, as familial heartaches, the state of unknowing and hormones manifest in less that positive ways. Through her relationship with Christ, weights of her past will be lifted; but replaced with others.

Feeling that she is called to the pastoral office Ms. Bowman is encouraged by her husband and clergy mentor. Immersing herself into what she believes is her calling, our author will soon come to know that her path will not be as easy as she thought.

Along the road to finding true purpose we are privy to her public and private challenges. Through it all you will see a strong prayer life mingled with ardent praise and worship assisitng her in her times of need and thankfulness.

It will be through revelations of her journey that readers will come to understand that delay is not denial, nor are our mistakes to be hidden from the world. Those considering entering ministry in any form would be well advised to partake of the honest and heart-felt advice given by this most anointed woman of God.

How Strong Women Pray -- November 1, 2007
By Bonnie St. John

Be careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer…

Bonnie St. John’s book, How Strong Women Pray epitomizes the focus of the aforementioned scripture. With skill, care and candor Ms. St. John cleverly entwines her life experiences with that of others to show the importance and results of prayer in their lives.

Through the uniquely written treatise readers are offered a view into the private lives of twenty-seven women. Each is viewed as strong in their own right. All are connected by duo threads of commonality; their dependence upon prayer and faith to acknowledge that they are not in control of their destinies. Delightfully absent from this work is the impression of a regime of rigidity and uniformity to be entered into. Instead, you will see the simplicity and fervor in which each approaches prayer and are divinely ministered to.

Those who feel that the presence of high profile names, the mention of positions Ms. St. John has held and her academic and Olympic accomplishments are self-serving will not absorb the full thrust of the work. They will miss the fact that in spite of her high visibility and accomplishments, she has made a choice. Through the choice to be vulnerable, Ms. St. John speaks to the plight of many with disabilities. Without reserve she is reaching out to those who are merely surviving rather than seeking to overcome the trauma of sexual childhood abuse or other obstacles that is preventing them from reaching full potential.
