The Sea Prayers
Thirteen years ago, a spiked drink left Agnes with a permanent reminder of the man who date-raped her. Her daughter looks like him, sounds like him, and even listens to his platinum records (of course, the dude's a mega star because nothing is fair), but Brisa is everything Agnes has in the world. At least, she is until the day this music star sets his sights on getting himself a ready-made family. He's got millions of dollars, millions of fans, a high-powered legal team, and half Brisa's DNA. Agnes has a run-down house, a friend who's almost three years sober and afraid to say he loves her, and a lawyer willing to work pro bono. Oh, and the whole town of Beaufort. That's right. She's got all those Beaufort folk at her back, praying to the God she has rejected, and not one of them is going to let Brisa go without a fight.

From almost being killed in the line of duty, to an attempted rape on the ship, followed by an event that would result in threats to her life, Payton had to endure things females her age should never have to endure but nothing could prepare her for what those events would ultimately do to her mentally, spiritually and emotionally. PTSD in the military is very real and not knowing how to deal with these emotions would leave Payton in a state of utter despair. Would she go through with killing herself or would she allow her emotions to force her to kill someone else? There's only one way to find out and that's by following Payton on The Long Journey Home.
Unmet Needs
What causes respectable people to display extramarital behaviors that shock us to the core? Is it a weakness in their character or something more profound? Could it be a lapse of their moral compass or the secret penchant for the excitement of immediate gratification? Some would say 'it's just plain old lust."Those reasons may all be valid. However, in Al Gee's 40 plus years of ministry, he has discovered another reason, namely "UNMET NEEDS." Seldom discussed but evident in far too many lives, this has been found to be the culprit of ongoing silent frustration.This book provides a brief narrative of some privately shared stories of how people handled or mishandled this deficit. Some survived, others fell prey to public scorn and ridicule. There are even some accounts in the Bible that address this very issue. That begs the question, Is God interested at all in satisfying our secret unmet needs. Most assuredly! However, how He fulfills the need may be disturbing. From years of study, counseling and personal experience, the author made a startling discovery: some relationships that we deem entirely inappropriate God does not. He does not shy away from unsavory relationships. Surprisingly, at times He is the very one who intentionally designs them.
We Never Left You
After unspeakable tragedy, one couple must forge their own path to healing in the bittersweet true story, We Never Left You.

The next moment, a drunk driver plowed through a red light at eighty miles per hour, hitting their van and changing everything. The death of both their children launched Beth and Rick down a long and winding path toward simple survival--and eventual healing. As shock gave way to the cruel reality of their loss, they began receiving messages that proved the existence of life after death--a welcome sign that aided them in moving forward. The Olsens soon attempted traditional healing methods but quickly found that counseling did nothing to help them get a grasp on their monumental loss. They then turned to nontraditional approaches--a decision that led them to Peru. It was there they finally began to undergo the immense physical, mental, and emotional changes that allowed them to understand everything--including the accident--happens for a reason.

The True You Shines
Guilt is about doing or not doing something. It's about action: 'I stole an apple, so I feel guilty because the action was wrong. I've wrongfully taken something from somebody else.' That's guilt. Guilt can become shame when you internalise it. Instead of simply relating it to an action, you might say: 'I'm a thief. I'm a bad person. I don't deserve to ever eat again because I've taken food from others.' Shame moves beyond simple action to identification. It's about who you feel you are: 'I'm wrong. I'm a bad person. I'm not good enough.' Or maybe you feel you need to visit your sick aunt, but then you don't go, and she passes away. You feel guilty because you didn't do it, but It becomes shame when you go beyond the action and identify with it: 'I'm a careless person. I'm selfish.' That's the difference. And that's also why guilt and shame are sometimes confused or linked together.

Her widowed daughter in law Ruth, was a young woman who could have easily started over after losing her husband, however she took the unfamiliar path and returned to Naomi's homeland with her.The life of a caregiver is the same- you begin walking the familiar journey with family, friends, and loved ones and then life happens and changes your course. In 2014 Ruth's journey became my journey after I lost my job and returned home to take care of my grandmother. What I thought would be easy, turned into a difficult journey filled with unexpected curve balls and heartache. The only way for me to get through and thrive along this part of my journey was to learn how to Look Up, instead of letting the curve balls hit me in the face.

Every caregiver needs that ray of hope, the one that reminds them that everything is going to work out just fine. God proved that!

The Salsa Connection
THE SALSA CONNECTION--AN INTERNATIONAL ROMANTIC THRILLER is a 93,000 word romantic thriller that has already won the Royal Palm Literary Award for best thriller. The story moves from the salsa clubs of St. Petersburg, Russia to New York to Louisiana and, finally, to Italy. The red-hot thread of the dance runs through a novel that explores the Russian mob, slavery and prostitution rings, and the art world, as well as love, loss, revenge and the strength of family ties. When Nickolay Panov left St Petersburg, Russia to go to New York City for an international ballet competition 25 years ago, he was considered one of the best ballet dancers in Russia. The Americans say he was murdered. The Russians say he defected. In any case, he never returned. Just before Nickolay disappeared, several priceless paintings and icons from a major museum were stolen. While he was accused of the theft, no solid proof has ever been offered to tie him to it. However, evidence shows that the stolen goods were shipped to America. The CIA and the Russian Government are still pursuing all leads connected to the heist, and so is the Russian mafia. Sveta was three years old when her father disappeared, so it's a shock when, in the mail, she receives an invitation to a salsa dance competition in New York. At the bottom of the invitation is a note: "Please come to the competition and enter, my little lady." No one but her father has ever called her that. Why has her father surfaced after all these years? Sveta wants answers, even if it means entering the late-night, sultry world of salsa dancing in St Petersburg and New York City and coming into uncomfortably close contact with the Russian mob.
Muslim Marriage 101
Is your marriage starting to feel more of a burden than a blessing? If so, I'm here to tell you, there IS a way out, and it's not divorce! Muslim Marriage 101 is for couples that have hit a bump in their marriage (maybe even a mountain, that feels like pure misery!) and want a way out of the pain. It's a guide for Muslim couples to learn how to transform these conflicts into loving companionship and not the reverse!Most couples are trying their best to make things work but their efforts are done within a limited perspective founded by their experiences (sometimes personally, sometimes through watching others). Most often those perceptions are based on triggered events and are very unhealthy. Their behaviour becomes the complete opposite of steps towards a peaceful and loving marriage, even if it may feel like it's the "right thing to do."Muslim Marriage 101 is like a giant pause button for your marriage and teaches you another way to respond and move within your marriage. So, here's what you can expect to learn: Build your marriage from the bottom up with the principles given to us from the perfection of Islamic teachings that are found in the books of manners, not just rulings.Finally, understand what your wife actually wants, so you can stop running trying to fix things and feel broken when it just makes matters worse.Understand why your husband seems to not understand your needs and feelings even though you've explained it many times and now think he just doesn't care.Realize how and where your own triggers play a part in your marriage and why you're likely self-sabotaging.Learn to make your marriage a means of coming closer to Allah instead of the usual hardening inside, and feelings of weakened Imaan.Recognize Shaytaan's traps that keep you locked into negative thoughts, which breeds negative cycles of interaction, and feels like your marriage is a lost cause.Focus your time working on things that can actually change your circumstances, rather than keep talking about it until you're blue in the face only to feel deeply hopeless.Emotionally and mentally strengthen yourself with pro-active steps outlined at the end of most chapters so you can start applying small but transformative steps that will benefit your marriage, instead of work against it.
