Raised as a Christian minority in a Muslim nation, Shagufta Kausar learned early on to never argue about faith or to stand up for her beliefs. Doing so could easily lead to riots and deadly violence, so she was told to always be silent, like a lamb. In 2013, local police raided Shagufta's home, accusing her of sending a blasphemous text to a local imam. As a mother of four, Shagufta was arrested, her handicapped husband, Shafqat, was hung upside down and beaten, and her children were put in state custody. The truth was, Shagufta didn't even have a phone and was illiterate - she couldn't write or speak the language in the text. She was impossibly innocent. Convicted at a trial she was not allowed to attend and sentenced to death by hanging, Shagufta was told that she could save herself and her family if she would only abandon her faith and accept Islam. Under threat of death, she refused. Her stunning true story of a courageous mother of four standing against the tyranny of her country's blasphemy laws illuminates the reality of what many Christians around the world face every day. Shagufta is a voice for Christian minorities that suffer daily persecution under unjust laws.

The absorbing literary memoir of a young woman suffering from a famine of body and soul who is led by the poor to the greatest feast on earth.

" Deep inside the heart of every woman is a diva just waiting to be released. It lies underneath all of the other things she has supposedly "learned" about herself-truth, fiction, deception, or just the superimposed bad feelings of others who've done a really good job smothering the diva within. What is a diva? Although the word now evokes the image of a vain or undisciplined person, author Michelle McKinney Hammond takes diva back to its original meaning. It comes from the word prima donna or "first lady" and was used todescribe the principal female singer in an opera or concert organization, who was the best of the best. In The DIVA Principle: Divine Inspiration for Victorious Attitude, Michelle shines a spotlight on ten women of the Bible who displayed diva-tude, including the Shulammite Woman in Song of Songs, the Queen of Sheba, Deborah in the book of Judges, the woman of Proverbs 31, and more. In the process, she encourages women to embrace their God-given qualities and assets with the understanding that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. With solid, practical advice, Michelle suggests ways for women to get their head, heart, life, and act together so that they will emerge happy and victorious as divas in the best sense of the word.

"Life has a way of weakening us. God has a way of strengthening us. Life is full of strength-stealers: situations, experiences, or relationships that rob us of our courage and passion, sometimes making us feel that the life has gone out of us. Often, these strength-stealers are hidden in our regular routine at home or in the workplace. It is easy to overlook them as they drain our energy, drop by precious drop-causing anxiety or depression, diminishing our motivation, and leaving us apathetic toward our priceless God-given dreams. If you can relate to this, you are stronger and more powerful than you may think! In Discover Your True Strength, Lindsay Roberts shows how to exchange strength-stealers for strength-builders as she offers words of encouragement, healing, and hope. Lindsay knows what it is like to have a calling from God, only to face opposition, tragedy, fear, heartache, and criticism-and yet still survive, prosper, and discover the strength in Christ that is available to us all. She describes how, through the powerful love of God, strong women think and act, listen and speak, respond, and thrive. The strength that comes from God is accessible to you every moment. This is the day for all women to take their place in God's purposes. As you come to understand and draw from your true strength, you can live each day to the fullest, pursuing what you love and are called to do. "--
