Book Description
More of Urban Lit's finest take a walk on the other side in book two, Even Sinners Have Souls Too, of the three book "Sinners Series." Darrell King and Essence Best-Selling authors, Victor L. Martin, Tysha, and Michel Moore bring you four smashing tales, but not before National Best-Selling author, K Wan, hits you with the powerful introduction, "Oh Sinner Man." Edited by award winning author E. N. Joy, once again, some of the literary industry's much respected authors pick up their pens to ink something outside of their norm. As the gritty tales unfold, the readers souls will be enveloped by the moving and unexpected outcomes. Unlike other street stories, these real and raw characters choose neither the road most traveled nor the road traveled less; they make their own way. Even Sinners Have Souls Too (like Even Sinners Have Souls-Book One of the series) continues to change the state of African American literature.

Book Description
Even Sinners Still Have Souls hits readers hard in the gut with its twisted, edge of the seat storylines and plots. The characters draw the readers into their, often times, strange and distorted worlds. With conflict and tension so high, the reader is almost forced to mentally endure the same daily struggles as some of the characters.

Book Description
How did I come about the title Sinners Have Souls Too? I began the journal of events in my life some twenty-six years ago, but I didn?t have a title. Years later when I saw The Color Purple, a movie based on the book by Alice Walker, it resonated with me. The characters who lived in the South in the twentieth century, and how their lives intertwined, only proved that goodness and righteousness won out in the end, in spite of the trials and tribulations that had befallen them.Miss Avery, one of the characters, stood out in particular. Like the prodigal son, she left her secure home to give way to the lust of the flesh, only to come to herself and return to her waiting forgiving preacher father?s arms, whispering softly in his ears what I heard her say: ?A sinner has a soul too.? Like so many, myself included, she chose the fast lane, trying to satisfy the lust of the flesh while looking for love in all the wrong places.

Book Description
Lorain has been a prisoner of her secrets for almost her entire life. At the age of thirteen, she managed to keep her pregnancy a secret, discarding the infant and leaving it for dead. Years later, Lorain’s mother finally met the love of her life, and Lorain couldn’t find the courage to tell her mother that her new beau was the man who molested Lorain and impregnated her. Now, to complicate matters, Lorain discovers that the baby she abandoned all those years ago survived, and God has placed Lorain in her now adult child’s life. It seems like the legacy of secrets has been passed on, too, as Lorain helps her daughter conceal the true details behind one of her own pregnancies. Lorain has managed to maneuver the secrets and lies like pieces in a strategic game of chess and is now living the lavish, fairy-tale life of a doctor’s wife. But even that is a lie. With the rug about to be pulled out from under Lorain by the woman who raised her abandoned child, all Lorain prays for is that everything will end well. In this cycle of lies, secrets, shame, and guilt, will Lorain get what she prays for?

Book Description
Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Book Description
“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.
