Book Description
When author Anita Katherine Dennis walked into the anthropology class during her sophomore year at Ohio University in 1964, she was sure the class would prove interesting. She had no idea how right she would be. In Beyond Myself, she narrates the love story that developed between her and her anthropology professor, Dr. Ben Dennis, an African tribal chief. In this memoir, she shares how God sustained her during her interracial, cross-cultural marriage--especially as she played the role of chief's wife in a remote village in Liberia, West Africa. Her life was full of extremes. She met the president of Liberia in the Executive Mansion--and slept in a mud hut. She visited European capitals--and lived in a remote African village. She flew on transatlantic flights--and was carried through the high forest in a chief's hammock. Anita shares her struggles as she is accepted into the Mende tribe and lived in Vahun with an off and on kerosene fridge, swarming termites on the screens, a cyclone barely missing the house, and pungent elephant meat delivered in the middle of the night. Beyond Myself offers an example of West meets Africa personified. Anita tells how life with Ben was more than a marriage. It was an education and adventure wrapped into one. Ben allowed Anita to escape her narrow cultural confines and embark on a journey from farm girl to global citizen, with plenty of missteps throughout.

Book Description
Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions: "Why am I here? What is my purpose in life? If there is a God, is He listening to me? Why did God allow this horrible thing to happen? How do I get past my past? How do you forgive the unforgivable? Does God really bless those who are faithful to Him? What do I do if I'm called to the ministry?" If you have, then this book is for you-whether you're a boy or girl, man or woman, in the ministry or not. You're about to take a journey through the true life story of a young lady who has been through many difficult trials, but God turned those crushing moments into beautiful testimonies. God showed her the way out of the personal prison she had put herself in and called her to help others out of their own. Through all the times of abuse, tragedy, and loss, God brought peace, comfort, joy, healing, and ultimately forgiveness to her heart and life. Our human nature is to try to "fix" ourselves but often times we just make a bigger mess. There are some things that are just too big for us-beyond our control or ability. That's when we find ourselves at the mercy of a loving and powerful Savior. He is here to give you that purpose you're looking for, that healing you're desperate for, that fresh start you're begging for. All you have to do is surrender and ask."

Book Description
So often in the Christian community we hear the question, What do we need to do to reach the unreached? While this appears to be a good question, perhaps its the wrong question. Instead of focusing on what might be best practices, our answers tend to revolve around what are best practices for us. The better question is, How can the unreached be reached? This takes us out of the center of the story and seeks to find the best methods and means to reach those who need to clearly hear the good news of Gods grace.

Book Description
Creative force or creative shaping? This unprecedented effort to plumb the workings of the ontopoiesis of life by disentangling its primordial forces and shaping devices as they enter into the originary matrixes of life yields fascinating insights. Prepared by the investigation of the first two matrixes (the `womb of life' and `sharing-in-life', Analecta Husserliana Volume 74) the present collection of essays focuses upon the third and crowning creative matrix, Imaginatio Creatrix here proves itself to be the source and driving force which brings us to the origins of the human mind - human life.
