Book Description
Langston "Bitsy" Pittman is born a Mulatto, undersized and glaringly biracial. When he is five years old, Bitsy's black mother enrolls him in the Second Street Christian School, the only student there of African descent. His white father abandons the family shortly afterwards, and Bitsy's mother dies of a massive heart attack a few years later. The boy turns bitter, blaming his mother's death on a God who could have saved her but failed to do so. Bitsy renounces his faith, quits school, and eventually turns to a life of crime. One night, many years later, Bitsy sets out to burglarize a liquor store but discovers that the police have staked it out. Furious, he stumbles upon his former school and breaks in. In a bizarre twist of circumstances, he finds himself trapped inside the building as the new day dawns. Bitsy is forced to flee to the attic, and through vents in the floor, watches as the school day unfolds in the classrooms below.

Deliverance to the Captives
Author: William Hiltz
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1607914182
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
43 Short Stories of God's Miracles This work is about how God has marvelously intervened in the affairs of men and woman. It's about everyday people who found themselves in circumstances beyond their control. It is a book about miracles. It is a book about deliverance. Jesus Himself said he had come to bring "deliverance to the captives" and without any doubt we see today so many people who are bound by sin, Satan and circumstances. Surely, one can see that it is only God who can bring the liberty to these captives. More so, it is desperately needed. This is not a book to prove that miracles exist nor of argument to that fact; but a book of more than forty short stories of personal testimony to God's wonderful hand of help and deliverance. William Hiltz accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior at the age of twenty. He has spent the last thirty years serving God's kingdom to help fulfill the Great Commission. He already is the author of a daily devotional book titled Notes on Life and has a doctoral degree in Theology from International Seminary of Plymouth, Florida. Entering the ministry at age twenty-five, he and his wife have pastored churches in Maine, New York, Texas and Mexico. For the past ten years they have been the pastors of the McAllen Church of God in McAllen, Texas.

Our Trees of Life
Author: Christine Graef
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498233317
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
God's word begins with the tree of life and the tree of knowledge watered by a river nourishing Eden. As it ends with the image of a tree by a river appearing in heaven, the redeemed who have stood as "a tree planted by streams of water, bringing the fruits of the spirit, and birds and animals of every kind find shelter" are healed by its leaves. In the ecology of trees, we find the believer, rooted in living water, lifting to the heavens, sheltering others, and bearing fruit. From communities of pines and oaks of the North American continent, to the solitary baobab silhouetted on the African savannah, to the restoration of Israel's cedars in Asia, trees are being felled under a darkening warfare to silence God's words. Every year an estimated 100,000 Christians die for their faith. Hundreds more suffer loss of home and jobs. Churches burn and worshippers are slaughtered. Jesus is being argued in the courts and classrooms. His believers are imprisoned and beheaded. Our Trees of Life combines the tangible world of trees around us with an image of God's concern for us in a world increasingly hostile to his word.
