Your Secret Name: Discovering Who God Created You to Be
by Kary OberbrunnerWe all have one–a Secret Name that is. The Bible tells us so. Yet few of us know ours. Ignorantly, we’re stuck, caught up in the “Name Game.” Using the story of the biblical patriarch Jacob as a backdrop, author Kary Oberbrunner calls us to stop accepting the world’s labels and start wrestling with God to discover our true identity. Jacob spent years living out the meaning of his earthly name: “deceiver.” Caught up in pretending to be someone he wasn’t, he was unaware that God would build a nation through him, unaware that Jesus would be one of his descendents, unaware of the lands he would inherit. Then he heard God speak his true name and the future God had for him unfolded. Oberbrunner reminds us that we’ll be unable to discern what God wants to build through us until we discover how God has seen us all along. In Your Secret Name, readers will find the courage to abandon what they know in order to become who they were born to be.
Your Sins and Mine: The Terrifying Fable of a World Without Faith
by Taylor CaldwellMankind falls under a sentence of death in this fable of a world without faith from a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. First there were the changes in weather. Lack of rain was turning the plains of Iowa, Kansas, and Idaho into arid blocks of parched earth. In the North, it was already January, and no sign of snow. All over the world, the seas were shrinking, and creeks and rivers looked like dried scars. But for Pete, the terrified son of a midwestern farming family, the first great omen came one unseasonably warm winter night when the moon simply vanished from a cloudless sky, and the clocks stopped. Soon, Pete’s family farm becomes a prison as a strange sulfurous fog rolls across the land. In its wake, poisonous and mindful weeds grow wild, choking to death anything—and anyone—within reach. The only sign of life on the streets is a relentless army of scorpions with a sting that kills. But when the government finally moves in, it’s not to protect; it’s for a reason far more deadly and absolute than anyone can imagine. Now, Earth’s survivors face something even more frightful than nature: the evil of men. Author Taylor Caldwell’s “beautifully written” dystopian novel is an unforgettable story of courage, passion, and the will to believe (The Washington Post). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Taylor Caldwell including rare images from the author’s estate.

Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born
by Robert SchwartzWould you like to understand the deeper spiritual meaning of physical illness, parenting handicapped children, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, accidents, deafness, and blindness? Your Soul's Plan (which was originally published under the title Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?) explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we are born for the purpose of spiritual growth. Through compelling profiles of people who knowingly planned the experiences mentioned above, Your Soul's Plan shows that suffering is not purposeless, but rather imbued with deep meaning. Working with four gifted mediums, author Robert Schwartz reveals the significance of each person's life plan and allows us a fascinating look into the "other side."Each personal story focuses on a specific life challenge, organized by type for easy reference. Accessible both to those familiar with the metaphysical aspects of spirituality and to the general reader, the moving narratives that comprise Your Soul's Plan help readers awaken to the reality that they are transcendent, eternal souls.

by Robert SchwartzWould you like to understand the deeper spiritual meaning and purpose of death, grief, mourning, and bereavement? Your Soul's Plan eChapters: Death of a Loved One contains the Preface, Introduction, Chapter 1: Pre-birth Planning, and Chapter 6: Death of a Loved One from Robert Schwartz's best-selling spirituality book, Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born. This special eChapter tells the true story of Valerie, who planned before she was born to lose both her only child and her fiancé, and it explains why she courageously chose to experience their deaths. Before we are born, we ourselves plan great challenges in order to foster our own spiritual growth and the growth of the people we love. This inspirational, healing, and deeply thought-provoking eChapter speaks to our heartfelt desire to know: Why do we lose loved ones? Why do some of our loved ones leave us unexpectedly or at ages that make their deaths seem premature? What can we learn, and how can we grow, as a result of losing someone for whom we care deeply? In this eChapter Valerie shares her personal story, then has sessions with gifted mediums and channels in which Schwartz asks Spirit, "Were the deaths planned before birth, and if so, why?" The great love and wisdom that come forth from "the other side" help us to understand the deeper spiritual meaning and purpose of losing a loved one. In powerful and touching conversations with her "deceased" son and fiancé, Valerie discovers why together they created this life plan before any of them were born. If you have lost someone you love, an awareness of pre-birth planning will empower you to transform any feelings of victimization, anger, sadness, or confusion into acceptance, understanding, and peace. Suffering that once seemed purposeless will become imbued with deep meaning. And you will come to know that your loved ones are not dead, but rather very much alive and still with you, loving you just as strongly from Spirit as they did while in body. The full edition of Your Soul's Plan also explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, parenting handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, and severe accidents. Individual Your Soul's Plan eChapters are available under the following titles: Physical Illness; Parenting Handicapped Children; and Drug Addiction and Alcoholism.

Your Spirits Walk Beside Us: The Politics of Black Religion
by Barbara Dianne SavageEven before the emergence of the civil rights movement with black churches at its center, African American religion and progressive politics were assumed to be inextricably intertwined. In her revelatory book, Barbara Savage counters this assumption with the story of a highly diversified religious community whose debates over engagement in the struggle for racial equality were as vigorous as they were persistent. Rather than inevitable allies, black churches and political activists have been uneasy and contentious partners. From the 1920s on, some of the best African American minds—W. E. B. Du Bois, Carter G. Woodson, Benjamin Mays, Nannie Helen Burroughs, Mary McLeod Bethune, Charles S. Johnson, and others—argued tirelessly about the churches’ responsibility in the quest for racial justice. Could they be a liberal force, or would they be a constraint on progress? There was no single, unified black church but rather many churches marked by enormous intellectual, theological, and political differences and independence. Yet, confronted by racial discrimination and poverty, churches were called upon again and again to come together as savior institutions for black communities. The tension between faith and political activism in black churches testifies to the difficult and unpredictable project of coupling religion and politics in the twentieth century. By retrieving the people, the polemics, and the power of the spiritual that animated African American political life, Savage has dramatically demonstrated the challenge to all religious institutions seeking political change in our time.

by R.T. Kendall'I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.' (Matthew 12:36) R. T.

We often fail to realise the power of the spoken word, and our careless talk can sometimes be more damaging than we realise. But in this unique book R. T. demonstrates that, with the help of the Holy Spirit, the challenge is not beyond us. Learning to control the tongue will not only make you faithful to God's call but will also strengthen your character, making you more like Jesus.
