Book Description
The car chase that nearly killed them both was the end of the marriage, but just the beginning of the story… Catch a glimpse of narcissistic religious abuse through the eyes of a survivor of a thirty-year abusive marriage to a minister. Travel the road of darkness on the quest for light. Experience the victory that only comes through healing. Michele Armstrong describes in detail her journey from victim to victor, bringing to light the objective that freedom from the evil grip of abuse is available to everyone through the healing power of Jesus. Anyone can be a victim; and unfortunately, many times abusers are well-respected leaders in society and even in the church. Hiding behind the mask of charisma and charm in the public eye, abusers are monsters behind closed doors. The author exposes the abuser’s secrets and dispels the victim’s shame, while advocating for healing and victory. Through informed awareness, the church can foster a safe and healing environment, and dispel the religious stigma associated with victimization and the aftermath. Exposure dismantles the stronghold, and with awareness comes responsibility of change and a redemptive solution for all individuals, marriages, families, and churches across every corner of the world.

Book Description
This study of the miracles attributed to Jesus in the Gospels begins with a survey of the sciences, because in our present cultural context, materialism is the dominant approach to and understanding of our world, of history, and of our very selves. If the materialist's understanding is true, then there is no such thing as miracles, because every event must occur as the result of some previous material events. Contemporary biblical scholarship mostly approaches the miracle stories from a materialist point of view. It questions their historicity because they violate what has now become the entrenched modus operandi in our culture and society, operating with the idea that the universe is a closed nexus of cause and effect. The miracles are understood, then, as products of the community and not historical reports, although, according to this line of scholarship, they may be based on some vague recollection of Jesus's activity that somehow had healing effects. Modern science, however, as one scientist has put it, in climbing the mountain of knowledge, has reached its peak and found a theologian at the top. The sciences, in other words, have led to the implication that our universe has a creator and that the universe and the human genome have been designed.

Book Description
A Voice In Rama transports the reader into the brutality, tragedies and triumphs in the life of Jerusha, starting as a young widow of Bethlehem. It is a suspense-revenge story, experienced entirely through Jerusha’s eyes, ears and mind, though she is illiterate and speaks only Aramaic in a multilingual world. In a scene of absolute horror, Jerusha suffers through the slaughter of her three young sons during King Herod’s massacre of the Innocents. Jerusha shares the guilt, having secretly sacrificed her nephews and their mother in a doomed attempt to save her own children. Alone with her grief, Jerusha loses her Jewish faith and ethics. She claws her way up from beggary to wealth as a shady business-woman, to fulfill her plan of vengeance. Operating about Jerusalem, she joins the anti-Roman Zealots, to acquire the skills of an assassin, for which Jerusha finds she has a talent and passion. Among others, she kills Herod’s old officer of years before. Her ultimate target, however, is the “False Messiah” who had provoked the King’s order. Patiently, the aging Jerusha stalks Jesus among his followers, her dagger up her sleeve...

Book Description
Shame is everywhere. Whether it's related to relationships, body image, work difficulties, or a secret sin, we all experience shame at some point in our lives. While shame can manifest itself in different ways—fear, regret, and anger—it ultimately points us to our most fundamental need as human beings: redemption. Shame never disappears in solitude, and Heather Davis Nelson invites us to not only be healed of our own shame but also be a part of healing for others. She shines the life-giving light of the gospel on the things that leave us feeling worthless and rejected, giving us courage us to walk out of shame's shadows and offering hope for our bondage to brokenness. Through the gospel, we discover the only real and lasting antidote to shame: exchanging our shame for the righteousness of Christ alongside others on this same journey.
