Women of Courage: They Never gave Up, is an inspirational book that
tells how three brave women fought back from adversities to live
productive lives, and give back to the community. Linda Warren
suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. She would not let this disease,
or years of rejection of her first book, keep her from becoming an
award winning author. Her novels entertain and help readers by
relating to concerns in their own lives. Teresa Maurer has multiple
sclerosis, but lives a full life. She is a successful Beatrix
Potter Storyteller and literacy advocate encouraging hundreds of
children to read each year. Her performances draw school children
from all over Texas. Their smiles as she relates a Potter story are
rewards she cherishes. Marsy Clarke is a crusader for the
physically and mentally challenged citizens in Texas. For more than
a decade, Marsy has helped implement programs that find jobs and
housing for those in need. Her desire to become a crusader was
kindled by her son, Andrew, who was born with disabilities. Travel
with them through their lives. Feel their despair and triumphs as
God leads them to reach higher planes.
THE DELIGHT OF THE FATHER AND OTHER LYRICS is a collection of over
sixty biblically based poems, many of which were written to be
sung. The book is arranged throughout with relevant scripture on
the page facing each poem.
This is a poetry book filled with inspirational messages that came
about as the author Phyllis Butler was trying to overcome her
doubts about life, self, love and relationships. Writing poems
helped her to gradually heal and change her focus from herself to
helping others by sending a message.

This is a story of a man-child in God's Promised Land who grew
under His protection and favor while in complete ignorance of His
dominion, power, and authority. It is the biography of a young man
who came of age during the Civil Rights era who rose from a working
class upbringing, skirting drugs and violence to become the first
African-American optometrist, O.D. (Doctor of Optometry), in the
state of Delaware. This is the odyssey of one man's ascent to the
upper echelons of black society only to find it was void of the
true meaning he was seeking out of life. Finally, it is the tracing
of the finger of God through the life of an ordinary man who found
his way through salvation to his Father God, and his true purpose
for being, service in the great commission, that is, to seek and to
save those who are lost.
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND BIBLICAL PROPHECY? NOW
YOU CAN. There is an absolute Truth that everyone should know: The
world as we know it will come to an end, and it will be in the near
future. There is going to be a day of reckoning for our world. God
Almighty is going to judge the Earth and the entire universe and it
will all be destroyed in an instant. This is an absolute fact,
whether you choose to believe it or not. Within the pages of The
Ultimate End, you will find a clear and concise explanation of the
very synopsis of the end times written by the Apostle John in the
Book of Revelation. Here you can discover that The Revelation is
not a book of vague mystery, but rather a writing of true
revelation, which is intended to be understood by anyone who will
trust and believe God's Word.
Come along as author Douglas E. Holzmeier, explains why You Are
God's Best Idea and how accepting your inherent inner divinity
leads to living the Undeniable Life
The ideas and epigrams behind
"You Are God's Best Idea Living the Undeniable Life:
"Life is a gift exchange."
"If you go into the darkness, to fight darkness with more darkness,
it's going to be awfully hard to see."
"Great expectations begin with great acceptations."
"The stage is set, reputation preceding; summoning the star in the
seated spectator; a performance at your command; heaven's ovation
standing; God's cause for applause."
"Enlightenment is the understanding that you are the answer to your
prayer."
"You're the boss of your thoughts. Hire the good ones, fire the bad
ones."
"I would rather set sail upon the uncharted seas of possibility
than row across the pond of probability."
"Stop chasing your dreams; they haven't run away."
"Dreams are not meant to be followed; they are meant to be followed
through."
"Going through life miserable makes as much sense as going to
school to study truancy."
"Your life will not be measured by treasures acquired but by the
love you've inspired.""

throughout her years as a Christian, wife, mother, Sunday school
