My God My Man: Find True Love in a World Filled with Lust by Sandra Leslie White

My God My Man: Find True Love in a World Filled with Lust by Sandra Leslie White

“We live in a world awash in love stories. Most of them are lies. They are not love stories at all – they are lust stories, sex fantasy stories, domination stories. From the cradle we are fed on lies about love.” – Introduction to Hosea by Eugene Peterson, The Message Bible

My God My Man is based upon my own adventure into the Book of Hosea, the Old Testament Prophet of Love. It details a journey I embarked upon one hot summer day on a beach in South Texas. Little did I know that I was about to be rescued from a lifetime of lust stories, and invited into a lasting story about love.

God calls Himself “Ishi” in Hosea 2:16 which is the Hebrew name for “my man.” It is a term of endearment that Hebrew women use to lay claim to their loving husbands. Why is God calling Himself a name my eyes had never seen, my ears had never heard, and my heart had never received?

As I studied more and more about the enigmatic Ishi, I found myself meandering down a path where where faith and scholarship walked hand in hand. It was on this journey where lust was lost, with all the pain from my past, and where love was found, with all the promises for my future.

By embracing the truths within My God My Man, I am certain you will discover a pathway for healing your hurting heart. You will leave a world filled with lustful lies far behind, and enter into a life overflowing with lasting love.

It is a journey worth taking. I promise. He is who He says He is: My God My Man.

30 Days with Joseph: Insights from Joseph’s Spiritual Journey for Yours (A Devotional) by Steve Wilmot

About 30 Days with Joseph: Insights from Joseph’s Spiritual Journey for Yours (A Devotional) by Steve Wilmot:

How did Joseph do it?
For 13 years the circumstances of his life went from bad to worse. Slave. Alleged rapist. Prison convict. He did nothing to deserve such rough treatment. Yet Joseph never whined or complained. He didn’t get angry or depressed. In fact, when he had the chance to take revenge, he chose mercy, grace, and generosity instead.
How did he do it?
You’ll find answers in 30 Days with Joseph, the second in an expanding series of devotionals written to examine how Bible characters navigated the challenges of their spiritual journey. Each day of the month, you’ll accompany Joseph and be inspired by a faith firmly rooted in the God who is in total control of everything, is always on time (though it doesn’t seem like it to us), and always keeps his word.
From Joseph’s story, you’ll learn how to overcome the challenges you encounter along the way… even when God doesn’t ride to your rescue right away.

Persuaded by the Hero by Elle E. Kay

About Persuaded by the Hero by Elle E. Kay:

His decision changed their lives. Her decision will decide their future.

Bryce hasn’t laid eyes on Sabrina in eight years despite visiting Freedom Ridge every Christmas. Not that he could blame her for avoiding him. He left town in a hurry and without a backward glance. He isn’t the same irresponsible kid from back then—the Army changed him. But convincing her to trust him again will be a challenge.

Avoiding the man she’d once loved every Christmas season was one thing, but now he’s back. And he’s her boss. Sabrina isn’t prepared to work for Bryce. Their story might have derailed eight years earlier, but her humiliation feels fresh. Had God rescued her only to throw her back into the mouth of a hungry lion?

They soon discover time apart didn’t dim their chemistry and long for buried feelings rise to the surface, but will they have a second chance at romance or is the risk of involving him in her son’s life too great?

Christmas Grace and Light: Contemporary Stories of Light Overcoming the Darkness by Barry A. Lehman

Christmas Grace and Light: Contemporary Stories of Light Overcoming the Darkness by Barry A. Lehman

Do you have trouble finding hope in the Christmas season?
Does the world seem out of sync with God’s presence?
By Christmas Eve are you worn out, anxious, or just plain done?

It easily happens. Yet, if you are willing to pause long enough, you may also discover God in unlikely places, in everyday events, or in regular people.

Christmas always begins with a story. There’s a man and a woman traveling to a distant city where a baby born in a stable. There are shepherds and angels. Because of this story, Christmas is a season when we are more attuned to the spiritual and its possibilities of breaking into our world.

Christmas Grace and Light is a collection of short stories and reflections on the promise of Christmas. While the reflections are based on actual events, the stories imagine a world where Christmas is new every year. Written for Christmas worship, they tell of people caught in the world’s worries, running away from hope, perplexed by their own lives, or discovering unexplainable events. Just like you and me. In those events and uncertainties, light breaks into the darkness. We discover the ever-present wonder of God’s grace that became human in the very first Christmas.

This Christmas let these stories open new pathways to remind you that you are not alone in your journeys. Read these stories and you will be surprised at how God is walking with you at Christmas.

Overview of Reality by Blue Bell

Overview of Reality by Blue Bell

Why are we here?
What is the meaning of it all?
When did it start, and where is it all going?

These are all perennial questions which humanity have wrestled with. We of the angelic realm are happy to now reveal the answers to these questions, and so much more.

What we aim to present in this series, starting with this ”Overview of Reality”, will help you gain an understanding of All That Is, both as a whole and its constituent parts and subtopics, through the lens of myself as Archangel Metatron, as well as from the point of view of the Creator Sources, Ea and Rhea.

We hope that you enjoy this adventure, and take away insights from it which you can apply in your daily life and help you understand what is going on in your own life and those around you.

Topics covered:

The Beginning
Creation of Souls
Types of Souls
Purpose of Life
Your Guardian Angel
Shared Consciousness
Halls of Learning
Densities and Dimensions
Incarnation
Time
Perception
What Is and What Is Not
This series has been designed as a tree. The “Overview of Reality” gives a brief outline of All That Is and the topics to be covered, and you can then delve into the specific topics covered in the individual expansions. This is the first edition and we expect this series to grow with subsequent editions, in all possible ways.

These books can also, in the most literal sense, be considered as world building for our other series “The Chronicles of Blue Bell”, in which we present the memoirs of a selection of the past lives of Blue and Bell, threading an epic story through the past, present, and future of humanity.

24 Thoughts For Christmas by James Smart

About 24 Thoughts For Christmas by James Smart:

December has rolled around yet again and the 25th of the month dominates our thoughts and plans. We can barely see the wood for the Christmas trees. The task of shopping for gifts and throwing up the decorations begins. Then there is the logistics of planning the family visiting schedule, and thinking creatively about what can be done with a turkey, while still trying to enjoy the process. Finding headspace to contemplate the ‘reason for the season’ becomes another item which falls off the end of the festive to-do list.

With this devotional it is my hope that as the days count down you are able to take time to think upon the deeper meaning of Advent – a meaning which easily gets obscured by the glare and noise of our usual attempts to make Christmas special.

Pause for a moment and see how the traditional and modern elements of Christmas show that the birth of Jesus Christ a long time ago in a country far, far away is relevant to your life here and now.

Stones of Gratitude by Beau Adams

Stones of Gratitude by Beau Adams

FREE BOOK from October 14-18.

In medieval times, attempts to find a way to turn ordinary matter into gold were called alchemy. We now understand alchemy to be a forerunner of the modern study of chemistry, but what if people really do have the ability to turn what they touch to gold? Would having that kind of magical power be something that interests you?

What if I told you it involves gratitude? Would you be willing to wander down that path and see if that could possibly be true?

This little book is a series of stepping stones down that path. In Stones of Gratitude, Dr. Beau Adams explains how a single act of gratitude changed the course of history for an entire nation.

A Tale of Two Fathers by Timothy Powell, Jr.


About Featured Book: A Tale of Two Fathers by Timothy Powell, Jr.

Ebook edition is free October 10 – 14, 2021! Regular price is $0.99.

Many of us had fathers who failed us, sometimes in minor ways, sometimes in profound ways. Some were absent, some were abusive and hostile, some were around but merely disinterested. The failings of our fathers can have a severe effect on the way we relate to God, our Heavenly Father.

My earthly father was abusive, manipulative, narcissistic, angry, mentally ill, and sometimes violent. Because of the way he treated me, I've had trials with fear, depression, post-traumatic stress, and even demonic oppression.

But God is good. As my Heavenly Father, God protected me and took extraordinary steps to reveal Himself to me, teaching me that He is nothing like my earthly father. Through Jesus Christ I have been healed and sustained. God has called me to share my story with the world, to glorify the One who saved and redeemed me, and to reach those of you with traumatic backgrounds who struggle to understand your identity and the love God has for you. Jesus came to bring us abundant life, and I am living, breathing proof of His love and healing power.

Black and White It Ain’t Right

About Black and White It Ain’t Right:

We have a problem in this country that is of immense proportions and has existed for over 400 years when the only ethnic group of the many that have made America their home came involuntarily. Not only involuntarily but in chains as slaves who were considered property and less than human. Although we are still the greatest country in the world this heinous sin still plagues our country. Just as systemic racism against African Americans has always and still exists so does a black, white dichotomy. Which is defined as a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different. Which may be the best way of summing up the relationship in one sentence between people who have labeled themselves and each other as black or white.
