Zebedee's Calling brings 11th Century England to life, with key battles and royal successions, as well as the efforts among a group of zealous Christians to have access to Scripture written in English. Along with revelations about rulers, military tactics and the Church, there also are descriptions of Anglo-Saxon society and daily life. Although this story is historical fiction, it parallels our time. The accounts of Christian leaders and martyrs who strove to make the Bible accessible to the people draw attention to the immeasurable value of Scripture, and how blessed we are to possess it today.Endorsement:A rare, historically accurate fictional epic that is an inspiration for today's youth, Zebedee's Calling represents Joel's unique approach to story-telling and stimulates both introspection and action: What is the place of the Bible in today's society? What is our obligation to ensure people have access to the Holy Scriptures? And most importantly, what can the coming generation do to re-ignite our passion for God, for country, and for the salvation of the world?¿Andrew Friedel, President, Christian Fellowship Church of Kitchener-WaterlooJoel encapsulates the essence of "true" Christianity in Zebedee's Calling. Although the characters may be fictitious, the storyline is very relatable through the ages. I was particularly impressed with his use of thought processes when one is questioning true believers on God's existence and Zebedee's responses which unequivocally removed any doubt. I thoroughly enjoyed the glimpse into the interesting historical culture, with associated terminology and the evolution through the passage of time. My key take-away is that Salvation comes not from religion, but from our relationship with God. A real gem for believers and non-believers, young and old! ¿Sharen Way, Ontario, CanadaAbout the Author:Author Joel Francis was born into a God-loving, Bible-believing Christian family in India, and emigrated with his family to Canada when he was a young boy. Learning about the history of the Church and attending a Catholic high school inspired him to write his first book, Zebedee's Calling. Joel conveys the eternal truths he continues learning about God through his writing, and he wishes to serve and glorify Him in every sphere of life. Joel lives with his parents and brother. He graduated from the University of Toronto with majors in applied statistics and economics, and a minor in mathematics.

The nurturing of a devoted parent, the kindness of a closest friend, and the loving heart of an often-misunderstood Father...all were the things Elijah, the greatest prophet of the Old Testament, found in his weakest moment when lying under a broom tree. Though he'd performed extraordinary miracles and offered faith-filled prayers, anxiety and depression drove him to a place where he asked God to end his life. Elijah's story was much like our own because he was an ordinary person, just like you and me.Discover God's extraordinary, sustaining love that is specifically for you.Find the answer to what is at the core of today's identity issues.Conquer difficulty in forgiving others.Learn to love the way God uniquely made you, flaws and all.Written by a board-certified pediatrician with almost 20 years of clinical experience, Under The Broom Tree explores the mental health epidemic of this generation with fearless faith, openhearted honesty, and refreshing transparency.What Others Say About This Book:B.E. Mathews deftly spins a wonderful and thought-provoking brief story that bridges the Old Testament with the modern day world, showing once again that the Bible and God's teachings transcend time and societal values. Under the Broom Tree will have you re-examine your faith and everything you thought to be true with insightful and delicious recountings of a woman coming to age in a culture that misplaces its values of what true beauty are. --Julia Mathew, MSN About the Author:Dr. Beena Wilkins, who writes under the pen name B. E. Mathews, is a graduate of The University of Texas Medical Branch and completed her pediatric residency training at The University of California at Irvine.

In her debut book, Under The Broom Tree, she offers a fresh perspective regarding current mental health issues and shares her own soul-searching story about growing up in a hushed, closed-off Indian culture. She uses the life of Elijah, the greatest prophet of the Old Testament, as a powerful example of the common, fallible humanity in all of us. She is a Texas girl at heart, but currently resides in Florida with her husband and sons.

Blue House: Ten Years on the Way Home tells the struggles, traumas and tragedies of a family in the former USSR during Stalin's reign, pre-WWII. Dispossessed of the happy home and wealth they built through their own sweat and labor, they were forced to withstand horrors and hardships as their daily bread...when there was any bread. Their arms were their pillows; their consciences were their best friends. Silent soul-pain and physical pain did not dim their faith, for their spirits, minds and love endured. "Educate your spirit and mind to be strong. Walk firmly and confidently," states first-time author Veronica Braila. "Believe in better times, no matter what." And Braila's blue house became the haven of hope that held this family's hearts.About the Author:Veronica Braila is an entrepreneur and a devoted mom. She lives just outside of Chicago and is originally from a small country called Pridnestrovia. She enjoys reading and spending time exchanging stories with others about life and faith. Veronica hopes Blue House: Ten Years on the Way Home helps others to believe in love, have faith, and forever be in touch with God throughout the journey called life. "It doesn't matter what is going on now," Veronica says. "Trust the path you're on because it will lead to the right place."ÿþÿþ

The Church in the United States is broken. This does not mean that we should all stop meeting together. Both things can be true. In a society where many find themselves "deconstructing," people need an environment where they can contemplate how the current church operates and determine if there are healthy adjustments to be made. The current outlook on deconstruction from evangelical circles is that it is all evil. Though there are versions of deconstruction that lead people to lose their faith entirely, there are also versions of deconstruction where people who have been hurt or abused in the church never lose their faith in God, just their faith in the Church. This book provides an opportunity to explore reconstruction.What others Say About this Book:Brick by Brick is a book that is written at a critical moment in church history in the United States. Trevor courageously discusses real challenges in the Church with great care, humility, and depth. In an era of extremes, confusion, and hopelessness, Brick by Brick offers a path forward, a path to be built! This book is more than must-read; it is an essential read.%Grant Twyman Director of Equity, K-12 public school district COO, Next Consulting FirmCaptain, United States Army ReserveI have had the honor of knowing Trevor for over a decade. Through the years, he has been steadfast in his integrity and obedience to where God is leading him and his family. I believe this book is so important for our churches. Do I agree with every word? No. But I wholeheartedly agree that these conversations need to be happening within church leadership. As Americans, I believe we've lost touch with nuanced conversations, and hopefully, this book will bring to light topics to help guide you to the truth. If you have been hurt by the church, may this read be a refreshing perspective of the heart of the Church. That we learn to follow the way of Jesus, together.%Keana ZoradiDeacon of WomenCreative Director at Awaken RetreatAbout the Author:Trevor has spent his life teaching, instructing, leading and writing with a deep passion for theology, doctrine, and church health.

Trevor experienced multiple scandals from head pastors he worked under, leading him to struggle through deconstruction of the Church himself.
