Do you realize how extraordinary God is? Do you want to be more like Jesus? Are you growing in your Christian walk?

 

What Did You Say, God? chronicles the Christian walk of author Sadie Campagnone, highlighting her highs, lows, and praises. She presents a realistic and genuine view of the allowable intervention of God’s will into our everyday journey, His immeasurable love for each of us, and His consistent desire to intervene in the details of our personal lives. She also defines Jehovah’s unfathomable forgiving grace and His constant presence through the Holy Spirit.

 

We can know God intimately through the Holy Scriptures, and it is so important to be attuned to that still small voice inside of us that dictates peace. It is an individual choice. Obedience reaps blessing. Disobedience reaps chastisement.

 

What Did You Say, God? addresses battles of the flesh that constantly wear against the spirit. Full of divinely inspired poetry and prose, penned through some of the spiritual highs and lows of Campagnone’s ordinary life, this compilation is chronologically autobiographical, although each chapter subject is independent.

What do a pink van, ice cream, too many hats, and a speeding ticket have to do with our relationship with Christ? At first glance, one might think, Not much.

In Thank the Lord for Leroy, author Randy Ray walks us through his journey in life with some off-the-wall and amusing stories. These stories are sometimes insightful, often thought-provoking, but always humorous. He introduces us to things like an iron-stealing ferret, what it’s like to fall into an orchestra pit, and—very importantly—why donuts are so much better than bagels. Ray also describes what it is like when a math-avoiding parent meets that inevitable day when a child needs help with math homework.

 From experience, Randy tells what it is like to start a Christian band, sign a record deal, and embark on the craziness that comes with being on the road. He also takes a lighthearted and poignant look at Christian marriage and family. Through it all, his off-beat friend Leroy provides him with a “friend who sticks closer than a brother”—even if, at times, you wish he didn’t!

Frances enjoyed an idyllic childhood, growing up in a small town in East Texas during the 1950’s. She married the man of her dreams, her college sweetheart—a wealthy business student who only had eyes for her. As they flew off to their honeymoon in his family’s Lear jet, nothing could be better … except things did get better. Frances gave birth to three beautiful children over the course of the next four years. What more could she ask for? The pressures of family life and social obligations contributed to her developing a crippling anxiety disorder. One thing led to another and one morning she came home to find that her husband and children had moved out and abandoned her. So began many years of grief, difficulty, and loneliness. When Enemies Bear My Name is the autobiography of a woman who is no stranger to trial and tribulation. Through years of divorce, death, and failure, Frances finds strength and healing from the love of her Lord and Savior. The nurturing messages of the Holy Spirit transform the deep darkness of deceit and despair into the healing light of hard-won forgiveness and redemptive grace.

The history of this book began almost immediately after the wounding of our beloved coastland by hurricane Katrina in August of 2005. Returning and spending a greater part of the day accessing the damage to our home, was a task I never expected to be called upon to do. It was like pressing “fast forward” on my old tape player, but unable to “rewind” to the comforts of yesterday, however Philippians 4:19 took on new meaning as help came from the disaster relief team from Meadowview Reformed Presbyterian Church of Lexington, N. C.

Stacy Beebe had plans for her life—marriage and at least three children by the time she turned thirty. Marrying Dan while both were still young and in college was only the beginning. By the time they had graduated, started jobs, bought a house, and celebrated their first pregnancy three years later, it looked like they were well on their way to painting the wonderful life portrait Stacy had envisioned.

Then came the miscarriage. What followed was a journey familiar to anyone who has struggled with the heartache of infertility. It may be your story, too: endless doctor’s visits, a life dictated by the calendar, the strain on a marriage, disappointment after disappointment, the search for answers and solutions, and the awkwardness of friends and loved ones who aren’t sure what to say. And what was God’s role in this? Although she and Dan had always made Him the foundation of their marriage, Stacy even wondered if they were being punished for something.

Only when she decided to look for guidance rather than answers did Stacy begin to feel a sense of peace. Today, twenty-one years later, Stacy and Dan are the parents of two beautiful boys. Theirs is a story of hope and inspiration, but even more, it’s a story of the many gifts to be had when we surrender our own brushes and allow God to paint our life portraits.

Like most of us, Iva Lee Elliott has seen her share of challenges. Raised in a Christian home and married at nineteen, she moved with her husband, Jerry, every few years as his job led them to various cities. In addition to raising three daughters, she cared for her aging parents, experiencing firsthand the heartbreak of losing one to Alzheimer’s disease. Jerry lost his job three times, all when the family had no other source of income.

 

In a life-changing moment in her mid-twenties, Elliott knelt at the altar of her church and turned her life over to God. After that she began to feel his hand on her—and that’s when things got really interesting. Whether it was praying about how to feed her family after she’d made a mistake in her checkbook or asking God to find the right house for them, Elliott’s prayers were answered, sometimes in unexpected ways at unexpected times. Even when she had all but given up on her marriage, God led her to see Jerry in a new light, strengthening not only the relationship she had with her husband but the one she had with God.

 

Elliott’s faith walk includes her thoughts about miracles, healing, the role of angels in our lives, and the decision to leave her denomination of forty-five years and join another. You’ll also see how she has been touched by her friendship with Monica, a Kenyan woman with her own remarkable faith journey and story to tell.
