Broken vessels can be mended at the hand of a loving God. "Why Must I Cry?" seeks to touch the heart of anyone who has ever experienced abuse or knows someone who has experienced abuse. It offers hope that no matter how many trials, tribulations, and disappointments you've had, giving up is never an option. Author Kayla Johnson has opened her heart and shared her personal experiences to illustrate how to see past the pain and experience great joy. This inspirational memoir also includes the tools needed to fight back. It explains how to find the courage to stand even when your legs are weak and saying "no more" is a struggle. Sometimes it seems like life's decisions can't be reversed, that there's nothing to be done about past mistakes. "Why Must I Cry?" holds the key to the change waiting on the horizon-the ability to escape a hurtful past or escape from an abusive partner-to turn mourning into laughter. Children of God, it is time to fight back. The season of restoration is now. It's time to go boldly into the enemy's camp and take back the life and hope that has been stolen from you.

Elsie Moses Huck Detweiler is an educator and evangelist with a love for people, God's Word, and the Lord. She is a visionary with the remarkable ability to surround herself with people who make her dreams come true.

Her touching autobiography, "A Life of Faith," begins with her early years in a prosperous Pennsylvania Dutch family hit hard by the Depression. Seemingly happy on the outside, Elsie is terribly lonely and plagued by fears of death. At fifteen, she experiences personal salvation that results in life-long peace and freedom from her oppression.

Moved to share the gospel and minister to the needs of others, she and her husband pioneer alcohol rehabilitation in the days before treatment centers and personally develop two successful programs still in operation today. Tragically widowed at a young age, Elsie soldiers on with a series of remarkable ministries in the home mission field.

In her own words, Elsie shares her amazing story, revealing her courage, strength, and fortitude. Inspiring and powerful, "A Life of Faith" offers a compelling look at how one woman changed the lives of many.

In Jesuit Polymath of Madrid D. Scott Hendrickson offers the first English-language account of the life and work of Juan Eusebio Nieremberg (1595-1658), a leading intellectual in Spain during the turbulent decades of the mid-seventeenth century. Most remembered as a prominent ascetic in the neo-Platonic tradition, Nieremberg emerges here as a writer deeply indebted to the legacy of Ignatius Loyola and his Spiritual Exercises. Hendrickson convincingly shows how Nieremberg drew from his formation in the Jesuit order at the time of its first centenary to engage the cultural and intellectual currents of the Spanish Golden Age. As an author of some seventy-five works, which represent several genres and were translated throughout Europe and abroad, Nieremberg's literary enterprise demands attention.

These volumes trace the Presbyterian Pulpit from the earliest days of the country until the early 1860's. This three volume hardcover set is very difficult to find and you can purchase all three volumes for less than you could purchase one volume from antiquarian booksellers. "Sprague's 'Annals of the American Pulpit' was one of the most useful reference works of the nineteenth century. By recording, often from personal acquaintances, key information about a wide range of clergymen in early American history, Sprague made it possible to peer much further into the day-by-day lives of the churches. This reprinting of the volumes dealing with Presbyterian ministers should be welcome to all students of early American history, but especially by those who desire a sense of how religious life 'on the ground' was carried out."

Jim Cymbala, Senior Pastor, Brooklyn Tabernacle, Brooklyn, New York Carol Cymbala, Grammy Award Winning Choir Director of The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir "Leo Kaylor is one of the most respected, cross-cultural leaders I have known anywhere in the world. He is a man of impeccable integrity, with a passion for the lost, persistence in the face of disappointments and delays, and is a man of faith and great vision.

Yehudis Fletcher was six years old when she decided to find out if there was actually a G-d.

One Sabbath evening, she dared to defy a fundamental rule. She didn’t wash her hands before breaking bread. At the table, Yehudis braced herself for a terrible, biblical punishment: being swallowed by the ground or consumed by fire. But nothing happened.

It was at this moment that she discovered a spark within that would grow to make her invincible.

As the daughter of a rabbi raised in an Orthodox Jewish community, Yehudis struggled to conform to the strict expectations placed upon her and her siblings. Outspoken, curious and desperate to know more about G-d, she felt fenced in by arbitrary rules and questions left unanswered.

As she grew older, these restrictions intensified and her questions for G-d hung heavier than ever. Repeatedly let down by those who were supposed to protect her and pushed on to a path that seemed to take her further away from who she really was, she began to yearn for a life where she could embrace all facets of herself.

When Yehudis’s sexuality came to blows with the expectations of her family and her community, the pressure to inhabit a binary position reached fever pitch. Confronted with either losing the faith she loved or losing herself, Yehudis made the most daring decision of all: she decided to stay.

Wry and exhilarating, Chutzpah is a fearless exploration of what is possible when one person simply refuses to choose between abandoning their roots and abandoning themselves.

"In Because of My Purpose: I Shall Not, Cannot, and Will Not Be Destroyed, " Prophetess Jeannette Johnson explains some of the unanswered questions that each of us ponder as we consider our lives with God. These questions are simple but straightforward: Why does God allow us to go through so much? Why do we have to be discussed by our neighbors?

At a young age, Johnson discovered that the answers to these questions were not simple; even so, once the answers were discovered, they provided the path to understanding who we are in God's eyes. As we encounter life's challenges, God brings insight to our lives concerning our purpose. Because of My Purpose seeks to help everyone understand that there is a purpose for everything under the sun. When each of us understands our purpose individually, we can approach our lives with great expectations of knowing how to fulfill our destinies.

Because of My Purpose: I Shall Not, Cannot, and Will Not Be Destroyed can help anyone with the will to do so discover who they are in God's eyes and make good the will of God for their lives and for those whose lives they touch.
