"Mom, I have something I need to tell you..." They didn't talk. Not
for ten years. Not about faith anyway. Instead, a mother and
daughter tiptoed with pain around the deepest gulf in their lives -
the daughter's choice to leave the church, convert to Islam and
become a practicing Muslim. Undivided is a real-time story of
healing and understanding with alternating narratives from each as
they struggle to learn how to love each other in a whole new way.
Although this is certainly a book for mothers and daughters
struggling with interfaith tensions, it is equally meaningful for
mothers and daughters who feel divided by tensions in general. An
important work for parents whose adult children have left the
family's belief system, it will help those same children as they
wrestle to better understand their parents. Undivided offers an up
close and personal look at the life of an Islamic convert--a young
American woman--at a time when attitudes are mixed about Muslims
(and Muslim women in particular), but interest in such women is
high. For anyone troubled by the broader tensions between Islam and
the West, this personal story distills this friction into the
context of a family relationship--a journey all the more
fascinating. Undivided is a tremendously important book for our
time. Will Patricia be able to fully trust in the Christ who "holds
all things together?" Will Alana find new hope or new understanding
as the conversation gets deeper between them? And can they answer
the question that both want desperately to experience, which is
"Can we make our torn family whole again?"
A Sojourner's Truth is an African American girl's journey from
South Carolina to the United States Naval Academy, and then to her
calling as an international speaker, mentor, and thought-leader.
Intertwined with Natasha's story is the story of Moses, a leader
who was born into a marginalized people group, resisted the
injustices of Pharaoh, denied the power of Egypt, and trusted God
even when he did not fully understand where he was going. Along the
way we explore the spiritual and physical tensions of truth
telling, character and leadership development, and bridge building
across racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender lines. Join the
journey to discover your own identity, purpose, and truth-revealing
moments.
"The house was dark but also cold. I opened my eyes in the dimness
and sat up straight, shivering. God was talking."
Award-winning writer Patricia Raybon was facing mountains that
God alone could move. A strained marriage. Conflicts with two
strong-willed daughters. And underneath it all, a shameful personal
secret. But could this humbled Christian, far from her childhood
faith, pray real prayers that led to lasting change? Patricia set
out to learn the real way to pray. Pray so things healed. Pray so
things stopped. Pray so things started. Pray so things changed.
The result is an inspiring account of a journey that shook
Patricia's world and transformed her heart. The prayer lessons that
Patricia shares will help you overcome the greatest obstacle to
real, powerful prayer and draw you into deeper trust and intimacy
with an inscrutable, yet loving, God.
