Book Description
Long before Kevin Jennings began advocating to end anti-LGBT bias in schools, he was a victim of it. In Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son, Jennings traces the roots of his activism to his elementary school days in the conservative South, where "faggot" became more familiar to him than his own name. Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son is that rare memoir that is both a riveting personal story and an inside account of a critical chapter in our recent history. Creating safe schools for all youth is now a central part of the progressive agenda in American education—and Kevin Jennings is at the forefront of that fight. Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son earned an A- in Entertainment Weekly, was featured in Salon and The Advocate, and was called "a great read" by People.

Brent La Prince Edwards Too often we hear reports of preachers getting caught up in stuff and things that make ministry and the pulpit look suspect and questionable.

Join Reverend Edwards as he exposes deep issues clergy face rarely discussed! This book will inform, comfort, heal and revolutionize your life! While in many Christian circles there are conferences and ministries on varied subjects, where are the conferences for the wounded leader? So have preachers really gone wild or is there something much deeper going on? Also excellent reading for non-clergy vocations and anyone in the heat of the spotlight or public eye! Rev. Edwards addresses the following issues: • Preachers and Health • Preachers and Sexuality • Preachers and Money • Preachers, Marriage, and Relationships • Why Some Preacher’s Kids Are Indifferent to Ministry • Understanding the Controlling Minister • How Should Congregations Respond to Wounded Leaders • Preachers and the “Mega” Church Syndrome And Much, Much More!

Pages : 161
Book Description
Holding Putter is a thought-provoking and sensitive glimpse into the lives of a minister, his wife, and their three sons, whose humble lives are forever changed when their middle son, Sammy, begins having seizures at age four. Together, with the assistance of a throwaway doorstep chihuahua named Putter, the family contends with the vagaries of life as frequent flourishes of hope and unexpected challenges present themselves. The ongoing search for a cause and a cure for the boy’s condition continually tests the family’s faith and resolve. Sammy’s lifelong dream is to be normal, and his search to be like other people leads him to the ultimate revelation that perhaps no one is normal. Even with limited physical and intellectual capabilities, Sammy finally discovers that perhaps only in the afterlife does God have a place prepared for believers where everyone, including Putter, is normal.
