Donald Davis was inspired to write this book after his wife, who spent her life leading others to the Lord, died of cancer. He explains how faith has gotten him through tough times and outlines a process for new believers to walk with the Lord. He notes that when you give your life to Christ, it is not just for a moment—it is for eternity. As you read, you’ll consider questions such as: • Where are you going after you leave this world? • Why should you give back if you’ve been blessed with good fortune? • Who should you look to for guidance as you begin your walk with Christ? • How do you go about studying the Bible? When you turn away from sin and accept Jesus, it is for eternity. Life without Jesus is no life at all, so you must constantly study the Bible, worship Him, give Him praise, and bring lost souls to the Lord. Enjoy God’s guidance in every area of your life and help friends and family find eternal salvation with the wisdom in Finding Your Faith.

Yes You Can Survive Adolescence and Beyond was inspired by Jeffrey Harris' childhood and life long experience. Growing up without knowing his biological father, reared in a financially challenged household, Mr. Harris makes no excuses of what he didn't have, but talks about how he achieved what he does have. He learned the values of hardwork at an early age. Self-determination never left him although hard times challenged him. Reflecting on how he walked around with cardboard stuffed at the bottom of his shoes to replace their worn soles, drug dealing and use, and gang involvement, Mr. Harris knows that there is a much better life for everyone despite their challenges. The book captures such experiences of everyday people and prominent people we all know. His experience in the United States Army awakened him to his life's purpose. Although those years were not his best, they were the years that fertilized the seed his grandfather planted within him to cultivate the man he is today. This book is straight talk. It is nothing spectacular, but provocative, practical, profound and to the point. His advice to young people is believable and achievable. The book is trusting and real. Now, you be the judge!

Hans van Rooyen is a former police general raised by two women who survived the 1899 South African War. He finds himself being cared for in an old age home by the daughter of liberation struggle activists. At 80, he carries with him the memories of crimes he committed as an officer under the apartheid government. Having eluded the public confessions at the TRC for his time in the Border Wars, he retained his position in the democratic South Africa, serving as an institutional memory for a new generation of police recruits. Zoe Zondi is tasked to care for the old man. Her gentle and compassionate nature prompts Hans to review his decision to go to the grave with all his secrets. Zoe has her own life story to tell and, as their unlikely bond deepens, strengthened by the isolation that COVID-19 lockdown brings, they provide a safe space for each other to say the things that are often left unsaid.

Imagine a better way, perhaps the most implausible way, that God might use today to transform His people and His church, and as a result, truly change our culture. A Better Way, by author David Zachariah Glover, introduces PURE ministry and compels us to view all people differently by awakening the average Christian to the blessings and contributions of people with disabilities, PURE people, to the church and the community. Inspired by the brief journey with his grandson, Glover founded PURE Ministries to challenge Christians to see and listen to the needs of PURE people and their families in their daily lives and make them aware of ministry opportunities. He seeks to inspire Christians to learn how they can be involved and blessed and to equip them to act in their communities through their churches. A Better Way begins with the story of how God used a little boy, someone whom this world would not consider of much value, to change this Granddad and lead him to start the PURE movement. A Better Way provides a scriptural foundation on which PURE ministry can be built and presents practical information and suggestions on how we can lovingly relate and reach out to PURE people and their families. Glover shows us A Better Way is truly where least is most and is evidenced in real, enduring transformation of us and His church.
