admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:00:07 +0000

Two broken-hearted best friends plus one wild night in Las Vegas equals disaster for 29-year old real estate agent London Harris and restaurateur Bernard Phillips. After both getting dumped by their mates, London and Bernard jet off to Vegas to forget their problems, only to wind up with new ones when they wake up in bed together and realize that they’re married.

As best friends, London and Bernard were totally in sync, but as man and wife, they are polar opposites. They end up fighting about everything from dirty laundry to overdue bills, and soon find their lifelong friendship starting to crumble under the pressure.

They plan to annul the marriage, but when London’s grandmother, Essie stumbles upon their secret, she challenges them to seek God and His plan for marriage. Convicted by Essie’s words and the Bible, London and Bernard agree to try to make the marriage work. But after a while, will Essie’s constant encouragement and scriptures be enough to hold the sinking marriage together?

A MAN’S WORTH by Nikita Lynnette Nichols

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:52:34 +0000

Randall Loomis and Pastor Cordell Bryson were as close as two blood brothers could ever be. Like peas in a pod, their friendship was unbreakable until Amaryllis Price stepped onto the scene. The moment Randall set his eyes on her, all heck broke loose. Who knew that a woman’s beauty and sex appeal could cause a God fearing, faithful church going, dedicated man, to literally lose everything that’s dear to him?

In this tantalizing, yet heartwarming novel, Randall finds out the hard way, that beauty is only skin deep and everything that looks good to him may not necessarily be good for him.

Amaryllis has a goal; to steal Randall’s heart, kill his integrity, and ultimately destroy his relationships with God, his pastor, and mother. But it is Cordell Bryson who steps on the battlefield and war for his best friend’s soul. Will Cordell’s constant praying, lectures, and sermons, written especially for Randall, keep him from feasting at the devil’s table?

SOON AND VERY SOON by Sherryle Kiser Jackson

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:35:55 +0000

Everyone thought the ten month courtship and marriage between Willie Green, the strait-laced pastor of the traditional Harvest Baptist church, and Vanessa Morton, the dynamo preacher-pastor from the contemporary Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, was too soon. Neither pastor realized that after the nuptials, all heck would break loose as they planned to combine their respective churches. The honeymoon abruptly comes to an end as Willie tries to maintain control of his congregation as the staunch Deacon, Charley Thompson, and a group of dissenters go to extreme lengths to keep their religious routine going at Harvest. Meanwhile, Vanessa struggles with the new balancing act of being a competent co-pastor and a nurturing first lady to her husband. The price of having too much too soon leads them both to deal in their own way with letting go of the way things used to be.

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:27:11 +0000

Pornography was once an acceptable element of the Wilson marriage, but a particular incident stretches Germani’s comfort zone to the limit. When she reevaluates her Christian beliefs and decides to make a change, Germani quickly learns that her husband, Scott, doesn’t agree with her decision. Germani’s request that her husband sacrifice his longtime activities falls on deaf ears.

A strain on their relationship develops as they battle over individual ideals and seek advice from every source, except the one that matters most.

GOD SPEAKS TO ME by Valerie Love

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:01:55 +0000

What if it were possible for you to hear God’s voice clearly at all times in every situation, and to use that guidance to move forward in the world more powerfully and confidently, with love, grace and ease? This inspirational collage of true life stories features women who, through difficult and often tragic lessons, learn how to lead a life that is divinely guided by listening to God’s voice. The stories include a woman who was married to an addict, another whose 10-year relationship with a married man comes to a heart-breaking and dramatic close, and the author’s own story of triumph over financial disaster.

Each of the women are able to overcome heartbreak, pain or tragedy by turning to God and listening to the still small voice within that is an unerring source of wisdom and guidance. The stories illustrate the power of God’s unconditional love and how God’s voice is available to you at all times. This book will teach you how to listen and follow the guidance God provides on a second-by-second basis through the voice within. Use the sacred lessons at the end of each chapter, along with probing questions, to engage your heart and mind in an insightful examination of your own life and discover new, practical ways to live a life that is divinely guided.

God Speaks to Me is uplifting, poignant, and searing in its honesty. It will inspire you to reach new heights in creating love, joy, abundance and fulfillment in every aspect of your life.
