Book Description
Whispering Hope is a spiritual and motivational book written to help those who, like Themba Mafico's grueling life's journey, feel hopelessly hemmed in abject poverty. Heeding the small, still voice, as its subtitle alludes, demonstrates by many examples how one can overcome poverty, inordinate crises, innumerable political and racial impediments. Inspired by Elijah's sojourn to the mountain of God where he was invigorated by a small, still voice, the book teaches the importance of periodically withdrawing from the crowd and noises. Mafico's life demonstrates that in stillness one comes to know God, and in waiting that he reinvigorates and mounts up, like an eagle, to the pinnacle of life. This book narrates a triumphant journey against all odds spurred by listening to one's inner small still voice that continuously sounds words of encouragement, advice, and good cheer to keep hope alive. Without hope, a person in crisis encounters God's silence and threatening noises and a myriad of adversarial situations. But in stillness and quietude, one hears God's still, small voice whispering encores of hope. The hullabaloo, melee, and cacophony submerge God's voice, plunging a sufferer into a hopeless void. The book is replete with anecdotes, stories, and experiences that teach tenacity, courage, perseverance, long-suffering, endurance, staying the course, and setting one's face unflinchingly like flint inching toward the prize. Moreover, Mafico's story subtly teaches how reliance on the biblical teaching, parental advice and instructions, and hard work lead to a wholesome life filled with confidence and unstinting hope. When facing a unique and difficult situation, a still, small voice is heard saying, "This, too, shall pass." By compelling examples, Mafico has demonstrated the spiritual and mental strength derived from living a disciplined lifestyle filled with hope.

Book Description
Whispering Hope – His Saving Grace: A Book of Inspirational and Spiritual Poetry offers a wonderful healing collection of inspiring and spiritual poems written by Elizabeth Ann Marks. The author was inspired to write this book to help spread the love of God to others. Though she has been writing poetry since the age of ten, after joining a charismatic renewal prayer group, her gift for writing has become spiritual. She was inspired to write for God after being baptized in the Holy Spirit. These poems are elegant and moving. Some are informational about God’s intentions for us, His love for us, and some are prayers written from the heart, both praising God and asking for special blessings as well as thanking Him for the blessings He has already bestowed on us. There are special prayers that ask God for healing for others. These prayers have been answered in a very positive way. She says, “Many people have already been inspired by these writings. Some have claimed healing during my reading of certain of these poems at the prayer group. Some have been brought to tears, and still others have told me they hear the words spoken by Christ and not by me.”

Book Description
Almost anyone who has read or written Science Fiction or fantasy has been inspired by the work of Michael Moorcock. His literary flair and grand sense of adventure have been evident since his controversial first novel Behold the Man, through the stories and novels featuring his most famous character, Elric of Melniboné, to his fantasy masterpiece, Gloriana, winner of both the Campbell Memorial and World Fantasy, awards for best novel. Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, and Michael Chabon all cite Moorcock as a major influence; as editor of New Worlds magazine, he helped launch the careers of many of his contemporaries, including Harlan Ellison, Philip K. Dick, and J. G. Ballard. Tor Books now proudly presents Moorcock's first independent novel in nine years, a tale both fantastical and autobiographical, a celebration of London and what it meant to be young there in the years after World War II. The Whispering Swarm is the first in a trilogy that will follow a young man named Michael as he simultaneously discovers himself and a secret realm hidden deep in the heart of London. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
Understanding more of God's character and how he loves us changed bestselling author Holley Gerth's life in beautiful, powerful ways. She realized that she didn't have to settle for "I'm fine" when there was someone whispering to her in every moment, "You're mine." The hope, joy, peace, and purpose she longed for were already there, in the heart of God. Now in 52 devotional readings, Holley shares with women the answer to the restlessness they feel in their hearts that keeps them hurrying, striving, pushing. She shows them that "the God who scattered stars like diamonds across the velvet of the universe, the keeper of every sparrow, the maker of us all, is inviting us to draw closer to him. He is the place where our hearts can go on the hard days and the happy ones, in the highs and lows, when we are sad or frustrated or downright giddy. He is what we've been searching for all along."

Book Description
19th Century Biographical Historical Fiction: Moving, Inspiring! In 1619, twelve years after 105 English settlers arrived in America and established a permanent settlement in James Towne, VA, a ship carrying about 50 Africans arrived at the settlement. When the ship departed, left behind and sold into slavery were more than 20 of these wretched souls. This event established the presence of Africans in America. By the time a young African girl--barely 12 or 13-years-old--was stolen, transported to America, and enslaved on a Charleston South Carolina plantation during the late 18th century the transatlantic slave trade had been operating for over 180 years. Her master renamed her "Charlotte". This 19th century historical fiction, set during the pre-Civil War period of the Antebellum South, is the story of one branch of Charlotte's progeny. This is a tale of a time when unimaginable savagery, unmitigated abuse, institutionalized racism, mental, physical and psychological tortures were common tools of punishment used by slave owners against the enslaved - young and old. This is also an inspiring tale of the tender love that bound an enslaved family together, and tells how the enslaved African Americans coped with their bondage to survive. It is a story of how--through an Underground Railroad system--courageous White abolitionists, Quakers, and people of goodwill broke the law to help fugitive slaves escape their bondage to find freedom in the North and Canada, aided by coded quilts and Negro spirituals. The fictional character, 88-year-old Thomas, grandson of the slave girl, Charlotte, tells this gripping and engaging story in a biographical narrative style reminiscent of Frederick Douglass's biography "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass". This exciting and educational work is rooted in actual historical events; the term for blending facts and fiction is "faction". This story is sure to inspire thoughtful discussions about this period of American history. It is suitable reading for adults and history lovers of all ages and will fit into an American History curriculum for teens, young adults, and junior college students. CWarring, Educator: "...although the use of coded quilts might be fictional, the many bits of factual information lend a great deal of historical relevance to the book." J.D. Peterson: "...beautifully written and obviously based on extensive research of pre-Civil War slavery in the Southern US" Dr. Benedette Ntinglet: "...transcends fiction as many parts of the story are based on facts... The writing is beautiful; the story is gripping and instructive...." Dr. Javaid Syed, Educator: "A beautiful and well-researched work of fiction... The story itself may be a work of fiction but there are many facts about that period of American history entwined in the story, with end notes and sources providing additional information for the reader." Giovanni Silvestri: "...This was such a good read I started it and couldn't put it down because I was so wrapped up in this book." Rozenia Carter-Sherman, Educator: "... I immediately saw the value of this book as additional reading for history, social science, or literature classes because the endnotes expand upon many of the events in the story."
