Book excerpt: MAMA, I DONâ T WANNAâ DIE!â This book depicts the life of an average young teenage Afro-American boy, whose name is Sean. He is unlike some of our youth of today. He thought that his life at home with his little brother, Mom, and stepfather was so miserable and boring. He couldnâ t accept having a stepfather over him. So many of our youth are battling with this same issue today. His parents were too strict, so he rebelled against all of their rules. They were trying to rear him to be a decent and respectable young man. He was very bitter because of his parents divorce. He turned against his family and sought fun and excitement with his friends. His Mom tried to warn him that he was keeping bad company, but he refused to heed the warning. Sean thought that his Mom just didnâ t like any of his friends. He and his started getting into a lot of trouble at school and in the neighbor hood. Soon they were in big trouble with the law, arrested, and thrown in jail. Sentence was passed and Sean was on his way to the electric chair for murder, double homicide, and there seemed to be no way of escape for him. This is a strong message for our young people today. This is a lesson to be learned. Everyone that say that they are your friends, arenâ t really your friends. They are your friends as long as you do what they do, or what they tell you to do, but those are not really true friends. So, be careful, and choose your friends wisely. Know this, your parents have your best interest at heart. They love you, and want the best for you. You will understand it more clearly when you get older and wiser. Please read and enjoy. Thank You.

Book excerpt: No one ever talks about what happened ... Summer 1971, Del Munro, a single mother of four, is struggling to make ends meet when Mother Franklin, a traveling evangelist, offers to take her daughters to the beach in Savannah. For nine-year-old Willie June and seven-year-old Glory, restless at the end of a long, hot summer in Charlotte, it's a dream come true. To their beleaguered mother, it's a much-needed reprieve. But what seemed like a blessing soon turns into a nightmare when the girls are pressed into service by the morbidly obese Mother Franklin whose needs are as outsized as her ambitions. When the girls fail to return, Del, evasive about the details of her arrangement with Mother Franklin, panics. People begin to wonder if instead of sending her daughters on vacation, she sold them to the evangelist. Based on a true story, Salvation is an evocative and unforgettable saga about stolen innocence that explores the tragic mistakes made by desperate people and the false prophets who exploit their vulnerabilities. “...a riveting and deeply moving story... a stunning debut by an important talent.” —Abigail DeWitt, author of News of Our Loved Ones “A haunting, disturbing journey through an America of misplaced hope and overvalued faith, and of surprising redemption.

Ten-year-old Adam knows he has a better purpose in his life (well, immortal life) than just drinking blood, but fourteen-year-old Victor wants to accept his own self-image of vampirism.

Hands Free Mama has the power to keep that conversation going and remind us that we must not let our lives pass us by.” --Arianna Huffington, Chair, President, and Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post Media Group, nationally syndicated columnist, and author of thirteen books http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ DISCOVER THE POWER, JOY, AND LOVE of Living “Hands Free” If technology is the new addiction, then multi-tasking is the new marching order. We check our email while cooking dinner, send a text while bathing the kids, and spend more time looking into electronic screens than into the eyes of our loved ones. With our never-ending to-do lists and jam-packed schedules, it’s no wonder we’re distracted. But this isn’t the way it has to be. In July 2010, special education teacher and mother Rachel Macy Stafford decided enough was enough. Tired of losing track of what matters most in life, Rachel began practicing simple strategies that enabled her to momentarily let go of largely meaningless distractions and engage in meaningful soul-to-soul connections. She started a blog to chronicle her endeavors and soon saw how both external and internal distractions had been sabotaging her happiness and preventing her from bonding with the people she loves most. Hands Free Mama is the digital society’s answer to finding balance in a media-saturated, perfection-obsessed world. It doesn’t mean giving up all technology forever. It doesn’t mean forgoing our jobs and responsibilities. What it does mean is seizing the little moments that life offers us to engage in real and meaningful interaction. It means looking our loved ones in the eye and giving them the gift of our undivided attention, leaving the laundry till later to dance with our kids in the rain, and living a present, authentic, and intentional life despite a world full of distractions. So join Rachel and go hands-free. Discover what happens when you choose to open your heart—and your hands—to the possibilities of each God-given moment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayers of A Child’s Heart, is a fun and exciting book for children! It expresses short stories from my childhood in the form of prayers. It is a dialog between me and God. You could say, I tell him everything! Yes, the good and the bad. Even though, I’ve never heard him say one word. His blood, grace, and spirit spoke volumes on my behalf. His manifestation in my life is proof enough that he heard me and continues to hear my prayers. I am a witness that God cares and answers prayers! I have many testimonies! Therefore, I say to you never think that your prayer is too odd, short, long, bothersome, or that it doesn’t matter, because it does. Please know you don’t have to pray according to anyone’s approval. In fact, you can go to God anytime of the day or night in your own way and believe that he hears and rewards those who earnestly seek him with a favorable yes, no, or wait. I am grateful that he is my Heavenly Father and he believes in me! In the absence of my biological father, he has been there for me all the days of my life. Yes, I make mistakes too, but thanks to my Savior Jesus Christ, He’s always there to help me overcome! Prayers of A Child’s Heart, also encourages children to tap into their God-given abilities and talents! Please know, it’s easy for other people to shoot down your ideas, but don’t you ever do that. You can turn your ideas and dreams into inventions and possibilities when you believe in the power of prayer. In First Thessalonians 5:17 it says, “Pray continually!” Not that we should always be on our knees or calling upon God with bowed heads; but it show our God that we acknowledge him. Prayer is a benefit for us; it blesses our lives in every good or bad situation. Prayer moves God on our behalf and it moves us forward in every good work. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Remember, believe that God hears you when you pray and always aspire to let your little light shine! May God bless you is my prayer! ?
