From raising chickens for subsistence to owning a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in the Bahamas, "My Story ... His Glory" narrates the inspiring life saga of the Rev. Havard S. Cooper, a Bahamian who has risen from humble beginnings in Grand Bahama to become a highly respected citizen of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Presented in three parts, this memoir reveals how a once-poor child overcame adversity to become a visionary, entrepreneur, successful Christian businessman and patriarch of a large, influential Bahamian family. Filled with anecdotes, Part I discusses growing up in the Bahamas as one of three boys whose father raised them after their mother died. Part II offers gems of wisdom and spiritual inspiration, while Part III provides a reflection of Bahamian cultural and historical perspectives. Serving as a role model, Cooper's memoir serves to encourage others to aspire to fulfill their God-given destinies by contributing to the economic, social, moral, and spiritual development of the cities and nations.
Charles Cross lives by a philosophy that you do not have to remain who and where you are in life. His autobiography reflects that belief as he relates how a gang leader became a compassionate preacher, how a man that faced certain death over and over again came to live so fully, and how a man who lost everything gained more than he could have imagined. Key to that transformation was his shifting attitude towards authority. Initially, Cross sought independence by challenging those around him. Yet it is when he recognized and accepted the presence of a higher power in his life that he became self-actualized. With honesty and without apology, "We Each Get a Turn" tells Cross's incredible story and in so doing, invites readers to consider their turn.

"Abused, Conquered, Alive" is a touching memoir of the effects of abuse and the hope that victims might be able to find peace. Author Mary Proctor Reed talks about the different types of abuse she experienced as a child and as an adult. She also chronicles the life she lived as an adult--as a loving wife and mother.

She offers hope to all who have experienced abuse and the understanding that even when we feel conquered, through God's love we can live and love again. By reading "Abused, Conquered, Alive," those who have suffered abuse can find hope and faith again.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) Faith is the opposite of fear. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith in Christ secures freedom from condemnation; it is the necessary component of saving grace. Faith is fellowship with Jesus Christ. Faith trusts in the Word of God. Faith is a conviction that Jesus Christ is Messiah. Faith is experiencing life with Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ provides confidence. Faith in Jesus Christ is power to act. Grace and faith are the first principles of the Gospel. Faith in Jesus Christ believes in his attributes of character and perfection. True faith, by Jesus Christ's definition, always involves surrender to the will of God. Be sure and secure in faith
