Book Description
Are you looking to strengthen your relationship with God? Do you find yourself untangling the threads of what it is you really believe? Are you longing for a deeper connection to your spiritual side? Bunmi Laditan has been in your shoes. In the midst of her darkest days, Bunmi began writing down her deepest fears, hopes, dreams, and frustrations with God in the form of letters. The result of Bunmi's soul-searching journey is Dear God, a collection of funny, heartbreaking, and deeply insightful prayers that put words to the emotions we all feel as we grapple with this broken world and search for divine love. With the same gutsy and poetic honesty that has already charmed readers around the world, Bunmi now shares these moving, intimate conversations with God--prayers and poems that chart her story of reconnecting with the God she loved, lost, and found once again. Dear God catalogs what we're all thinking as we work out our personal relationships with God. These candid field notes will stir your heart and make you laugh out loud with Bunmi's self-awareness and profound insight into the spiritual journeys we're all doing our best to navigate. Join Bunmi as she travels through those all-too-familiar emotions--doubt, anger, joy, desperation, love, loneliness, and gratefulness--that humanity has always wrestled with. Wittily fresh and stunningly relatable, she exquisitely shares the painfully honest questions she's asked along the way, including: God, what is holiness? God, how can it be worth it to love life when it could slip away at any moment? God, what do I do when forgiveness feels impossible? God, I know you love me, but do you like me? This poignant collection of prayers is a timely reminder that even when we wander, God never leaves our side.

Book Description
What is political poetry? How does history become lived experience? What does it mean to bear witness through writing? Noor Hindi’s poems explore colonialism, religion, patriarchy and everything in between with sharp wit and innovative precision. Layered to reflect the intersections of her identity, while constantly interrogating this identity itself, her writing combines lyrical beauty with political urgency. This collection is ultimately a provocation―on trauma, on art, on what it takes to change the world.

Book Description
"Thou, Dear God" is the first and only collection of sixty-eight prayers by Martin Luther King, Jr. Arranged thematically in six parts--with prayers for spiritual guidance, special occasions, times of adversity, times of trial, uncertain times, and social justice--Baptist minister and King scholar Lewis Baldwin introduces the book and each section with short essays. Included are both personal and public prayers King recited as a seminarian, graduate student, preacher, pastor, and, finally, civil rights leader, along with a special section that reveals the biblical sources that most inspired King. Collectively they illustrate how King turned to private prayer for his own spiritual fulfillment and to public prayer as a way to move, inspire, and reaffirm a quest for peace and social justice. With a foreword by Rev. Dr. Julius R. Scruggs, it is the perfect gift for people and leaders of all faiths, and an invaluable resource for spiritual individuals and those who lead worship.

Book Description
What would happen if you decided to email God... and God emailed back? It was during one of his periodic bouts of smouldering resentment at the way his life had turned out that William Penfold first thought of emailing God. It seemed more modern than praying, somehow. More up-to-date. Anyway, he didn’t want to pray. He wanted to protest. He’d been on this earth about 70 years give or take. The point was he did not like the way he was living. Most of the time he was angry about things. He didn’t want to be perpetually angry. He wanted serene comfort. He would tell The Lord about it all and see if He could put it right... William Penfold is an angry wreck of a man, drinking too much and depressed at the way his life has turned out. He is one of life’s eccentrics who is aware that his life was once very different but he refuses to try to remember the past. He decides to email God to protest about all this – only to get an enigmatic reply! As they exchange emails, William’s life changes for the better, in a most surprising way, and he finds himself becoming someone with social standing and friends in the community. A case of from Zero to Hero!Dear God is a quirky, entertaining, but thought-provoking first novel by Josephine Falla.

Book Description
Tamala Lumpkin was baptized in the early years of being an adolescent, but recently re-dedicated her life to Christ in 2007. She has always been active in ministry, using her gifts of the arts through liturgical dance, mime, stepping, acting, and singing. After being delivered from an abusive relationship and depression, she has a passion for the deliverance and healing of the hurting souls, but a heart for young children and has been teaching in Early Childhood Education since 2001. She is a firm believer that laughter is good for the soul and can heal a hurting and broken spirit (Proverbs 17:22), so she enjoys having the gift of making people laugh. She has been encouraging family and friends throughout the years with inspiration messages and has decided to bring that same type of inspiration to the world. She is now the author and creator of a line of books and resources, for adults and young children, which deal with painful issues that we face today, but are afraid to talk about. It is her prayer that her books lead people, children and adults, to Christ and total healing.
