James Lucot's very personal narrative speaks as a story of the evolution of a soul. His raw, poignant, and sometimes haunting childhood experiences develop into an authentic metamorphosis as an adult. His words reflect a genuine effort to not erase the past in an effort to survive, but to truly wrestle with events and emotions in order to embrace his own life with more resolution, gratitude, and dignity. The culminating triumph of the work rests in the beauty of truth to make us stronger, better, and whole. His honesty in addressing the past and its consequences in his present stand as an open encouragement and call to all of us to recognize ourselves, to dig deeply into the events that shape who we are, and confidently move forward and evolve in hope. - Alison E. Schuster, Esq.

Conrado Gonzalez, sirviéndonos con gran conocimiento y años de experiencia en el sector financiero, la abogacía y diferentes medios de prensa, le ofrece al público sus consejos y sugerencias como si estuviera sentado en su oficina hablándole cara a cara.La planificación financiera es el proceso de establecer metas mediante la administración consciente de sus propias finanzas. Estas varían según los intereses individuales o el estatus económico de la persona. Algunas metas son para un futuro inmediato o de plazo corto mientras que otras son mayor. Sin embargo, todas tienen algo en común; requieren la participación de un experto de su confianza que les exponga las reglas fundamentales a seguir antes de tomar decisiones que afecten su futuro.Más que una lectura, "Finanzas Para Todos" es un paseo a través del cual encontrara preguntas y respuestas a inquietudes que tenga, incluyendo como establecer metas y objetivos, establecer presupuestos, salir de deudas, o simplemente como funciona la economía de un país.Conrado Gonzalez quiere que todos tengan la oportunidad de asesorarse para garantizar que su futuro sea próspero y sin preocupación.

The apostle Paul, writing to believers at Corinth, stated: “For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” 1 Corinthians 14: 8, KJV. The context of Paul’s query was a controversy with respect to speaking in tongues; however, the uncertainty of the trumpet being sounded by today’s Christian leaders and teachers in summoning the church to battle is with respect to broader issues, such as God’s existence and preeminence. The confusion arises out of theological ignorance, since would-be defenders of the true gospel are not being equipped to participate in the debate regarding whether Christianity has a sound basis metaphysically, mystically, or in the physical laws that govern the universe ( i.e., mechanically). Attorney Ron Case accordingly felt a call, following his retirement from a career as a child welfare advocate in the courts of New York, to research and muster the arguments for God as Creator, for Jesus as the only means of access to God the Father, and for God as wholly sovereign while man is wholly free. The result was the present book, which will hopefully give valuable information and assurance both to Christians who are teaching and to would-be believers who are reaching. The intended audience is a hypothetical ‘gentle reader’ who might fit one or the other of the above descriptions. 

The funny thing about life is we all have to make choices. Unfortunately, the choices we make aren't always the right ones. Malaysia Jennings has made multiple choices that may not have been in her best interest at times. The decisions she made most of the time were purely based on instant emotions. Sometimes unpredictable storms forced Malaysia to make choices that were not always the best options. Perhaps being raped, abandoned, and homeless were tragedies that led her to make those arduous decisions beyond her control.

The year is 1715. Pirates patrolled the shores, Indian tribes populated the area, while plantations built by slaves began to rise in splendor among the harsh setting that is the South Carolina coast. This is the story of Mary, a teenager who was born into slavery and who had lived her life as a house slave on an indigo plantation in the coastal swamps of South Carolina. She had worked for someone who would have been considered by most as a benevolent mistress, the wife of the plantation owner. But things quickly changed when the mistress disappeared at sea and Mary was sold by a grieving husband for a mere two gold coins to another master, a master with evil in his heart. As she was sailing away from all she had ever known to an existence with a cruel master, she did the only thing she could. Her escape into the South Carolina swamps took more courage than she thought she had, for the swamps contained something she feared even more than slavery - Indians. But her escape led her to a new life, one she could have never imagined. Winyah serves up a breathtaking tale of heroism in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Once you begin Mary's tale of rugged adventure and struggle for freedom and dignity you will be breathless for more.

A lot of people within and without of the body of Christ are suffering silently, because they have not confronted their painful and devastating experiences. God does not want His children to go through life hiding behind masks and suppressing past hurtful experiences. In this awesome autobiography, Michele emphasizes that you cannot be all that Go has called you to be, if you continue to hold on to wounds from your past. Michele takes her readers on a journey, to show them that a distressing past does not have to dictate the outcome of their future. Her message is clear that God can take every negative experience and turn it into something magnificent, whether individuals have experienced abuse or other misfortunes which may be holding them back from enjoying life to the fullest. The Silent Sufferer will help others to confront their agonizing past, and to allow God's healing power to heal, comfort and put them back on the right path. She accentuates that no matter what an individual has encountered, it is still God's desire for them to walk in His purpose and destiny for their lives, and to experience peace and joy!
