Seven Letters To Heaven - Award-Winning Finalist in the " Spirituality: Inspirational" category of The USA "Best Books 2011" Awards. Author Felicita Terry Robinson found herself at a spiritual crossroads as she was faced with the daunting task of uprooting herself and her family from their native Jamaica. For her, writing her prayers down gave her a sense of solace and the strength to accomplish her goals.

In her new book, Seven Letters to Heaven A True Story of Faith and Answered Prayers (published by iUniverse), Robinson shares with readers seven of 21 personal letters of prayer she wrote as a way of communicating to God to seek His help with the small day-to-day problems she was experiencing. After looking back on her letters, she realized that not only were her prayers answered, her faith was also strengthened, leading her to wanting to share her experience with others. I have always felt that there was something missing that I needed to so spiritually other than being a good Christian, said Robinson. I realized that the actual publishing of my personal letters was the missing piece that I needed, not only to help others, but in order to help me grow spiritually.

Taking place during the last four months Robinson was in Jamaica prior to relocating to the U.S., Seven Letters to Heaven is about the trials and tribulations that came as a result of leaving home to start a new life, and the problems inherent with moving from one country to another. The book focuses on Robinson s written letters of prayers to God, sharing her day-to-day problems as well as poems and biblical quotations, and finding peace through her powerful faith. The story behind Seven Letters to Heaven is a simple one; however the message is very powerful. This book will take readers on a walk of faith that shows God can truly become a real friend to anyone and most importantly, He does answer prayers, in His own way, in His own time and at His own will. Review Comment by Rev. Basil Aguzie, MSP follows:

"Faith, hope and courage are virtues every Christian on a spiritual journey with God must have. Seven Letters to Heaven confirms this. This book is not just about communicating with God through letter writing but also, it is a spiritual process of seeking God in one s situation and recognizing His hands at work in one s life; firstly in the means by which God answers one s prayers, and secondly the times when He actually does so. What is remarkable about this book is that it not only serves as a guide, but also an easy to read spiritual companion. This is why I would recommend it to anyone searching for a deeper intimacy with God."

I was hospitalized for six days. After Dr. Michael Friedman, M.D., F.A.C.S., my urologist, studied the test and he said that I had a bladder infection, cyst on my kidneys, and my prostate was enlarged which would have to be surgically removed. The medical term is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy). I did not have the surgery. In a follow-up appointment, Dr. Friedman and his nurse did a Cystoscopy. Before finishing, he turned and asked, "What did you do? The prostate is completely healed. It has returned to its normal size " I answered, "I did the same as I did about my heart - I prayed " I shared my testimony with a lady, my age and gave her a tract. When I saw her the next month, the first thing she said was, "Mr. Graham, I want to thank you for sharing your faith. It has truly affected my life, and I want you to know it. Thanks. I had not read my Bible or prayed in years, but I began doing both that day and I continue each day." Jesus said, "whoever acknowledges me before man, I will also acknowledge before God." Matthew 10: 32. Vicki Caldwell had typed 80% of my original manuscript. She has worked on it, making changes, additions, corrections etc. from the first word to it's ending, several times. One day as I gave the last handwritten copies of three Chapters to her, Vicki reached out and touched my hand. Looking at me, she said, "R.C., I was born Greek Orthodox and raised in Catholic schools, but I want you to know I have learned more about the Bible through talking with you and typing your manuscript than I have through my entire church life. Thanks."

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The women of the Bible lived timeless stories-by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith. People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther's bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus' resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever. In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual's life, but on how they relate to each other and to us. From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys. The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman's individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

""Robert Y. Ellis' A Collision of Truths is a beautifully written and insightful autobiography of one man's journey of faith. Ellis was raised a Christian Scientist but later both rejected and appropriated many of its central beliefs. Ellis narrates the role Christian Science played in providing balance and meaning in his life while questioning its hostility to critical inquiry and modern medicine. Through sensitive description of the arc of his own life, Ellis calls his readers to re-examine their basic values and commitments amidst the complexities of daily existence in a digital world where knowledge increases exponentially. A genuine achievement and must read for fellow travelers who are looking for meaning and hope in our time.""
-Mark I. Wallace, PhD, Professor of Religion, Swarthmore College, Author of "Finding God in the Singing Rive"r

"A man would be singularly inert if he were not to find this account vastly tantalizing. What an extraordinary tale The way Ellis proceeds through his life from earliest childhood on keeps a reader wanting to know what comes next. And his prose is a blessed relief to anyone who loves good English prose.""
-Thomas Howard, PhD, author "Christ the Tiger"

This narrative is the first to reveal one Christian Science family's story, their faith's underpinnings and those singular episodes that collided with Ellis' beliefs including his Christian Science mother being treated by a beam of protons at the Harvard University cyclotron, his father's unsolved murder in Harlem, and the religious tensions in his childhood home that ultimately exploded. Ellis' sometimes painful, always captivating journey will inspire everyone being challenged by today's extraordinary scientific discoveries which appear to leave no room for God.

Out of the generation that grew up in the Great Depression and World War II, thousands of young Christians felt called by God to the ends of the earth. Pauline A. Brown, with her husband Ralph, and two other families, went to the Sindh Province in southern Pakistan in 1954 -- their goal, to share God's message love with Muslim Sindhis. This book is not just about North Americans abroad, but about a fellowship of ordinary people crossing cultural and linguistic barriers to take on the extraordinary challenge of establishing the Church in the Sindh desert. Jars of Clay is a story of laughter and tears, of danger and deliverance, of despair and hope, of victory and defeat. Above all, it is a story of perseverance in the face of great odds. The story of how the Church of Jesus Christ, small and fragile as it is, is taking root in the barren desert soil of Sindh in Pakistan, an Islamic Republic, is relevant more than ever in our post 9/11 world.

THIS IS A SPIRITUAL BOOK BASED ON MY LIFE AND OBSERVATIONS, ALSO CALLED THE 3L'S / LAW-LOVE-LIFE / OR "LLL." I HOPE / PRAY THAT THIS HELPS ALL OF YOU AND HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS BOOK.

Reaching for Heaven chronicles Rebecca Browder's struggle with the Proteus syndrome, a condition that involves atypical growth of the bones, skin, head, and a variety of other symptoms. Rebecca is dedicated to learning as much as she can and to sharing a positive outlook on life through her faith in her Savior, Jesus Christ. She has learned to overcome overwhelming obstacles because of her malformation and medial disabilities manifested by the Proteus syndrome.

Rebecca seeks to reach out to others who may be struggling with a disability or with a challenging life. By letting people know that they are not alone, Rebecca believes she is fulfilling God's purpose for her. She believes that God doesn't take anything away from us to make us sad or hurt us, but rather to make us stronger so that we can reach out to others and treat them with loving kindness.

Rebecca's story is one of strength, challenges, and the understanding that God has something better in store for her. It has been challenging for her to go from being able to walk to being bed bound, but she understands that sometimes we have to accept the hardest things in life in order to receive better things in the future. Our faith and trust in God can carry us through our difficulties.

It seems that government wants to invade every part of our lives: our workplace, our religion, even our families. And now our debt As a small businessman, I am appalled at the spending deficit, year after year. Don't our people in Congress know that even the interest on our national debt is a backbreaking load on our economy? Perhaps we have too many lawyers roaming the Hallowed Halls and too few responsible businessmen.

The awful specter of death overwhelmed me. Never again would I hear her bubbly laughter as she jumped into my lap to hug me. Never again would she delight us with her little-girl antics. I begged God to spare her. I confessed every sin I could remember. It was not to be. In His infinite wisdom, God took her home. Oh, Susan.

I consider the Bible to be the most practical book ever written. It teaches us how to live in a world that seems to consider honesty and integrity to be a fault. It teaches purity in a world where chastity is pictured as unnatural. It promotes self-sacrificial friendliness to a grasping, self-seeking world. It teaches us to live peaceably, and finally, it can prepare us for eternity.
