Book Description
The Holy Spirit is bringing the Church to a new place of prayer that we haven't seen in this generation. This kind of praying is prayer on the other side of words and is wrought in a people who have been delivered from their own strength, wisdom, and resource. this kind of praying is ugly, desperate, and vulnerable as God delivers us from our programs, personalities, and strategies, and gifts us the greatest gift He could give: The Gift of Tears. The Gift of Tears is God's work in a people who have come to the end of the themselves and find a new prayer born deep within them: tears.

Book Description
J-Rod moves like a small tank on the court, his face mean, staring down his opponents. "I play just like my father," he says. "Before my father died, he was a problem on the court. I'm a problem." Playing basketball for him fuses past and present, conjuring his father's memory into a force that opponents can feel in each bone-snapping drive to the basket. On the street, every ballplayer has a story. Onaje X. O. Woodbine, a former streetball player who became an all-star Ivy Leaguer, brings the sights and sounds, hopes and dreams of street basketball to life. He shows that big games have a trickster figure and a master of black talk whose commentary interprets the game for audiences. The beats of hip-hop and reggae make up the soundtrack, and the ballplayers are half-men, half-heroes, defying the ghetto's limitations with their flights to the basket. Basketball is popular among young black American men but not because, as many claim, they are "pushed by poverty" or "pulled" by white institutions to play it. Black men choose to participate in basketball because of the transcendent experience of the game. Through interviews with and observations of urban basketball players, Onaje X. O. Woodbine composes a rare portrait of a passionate, committed, and resilient group of athletes who use the court to mine what urban life cannot corrupt. If people turn to religion to reimagine their place in the world, then black streetball players are indeed the hierophants of the asphalt.

Book Description
The great Christian thinker and author C. S. Lewis said that often it is not teaching that we require; occasionally what we need is a reminder of what we already know. In this collection of meditations, my son, Nathanael, and I hope to remind you of what you already know—that we belong to a God that seeks a relationship with us. God is not content with our admiration. God desires a relationship in which we are eager to know more and to experience more of God’s power, love, and strength for the challenges that we must confront each day. Intentional time each day engaging God’s word in the Bible provides fresh inspiration and increases our desire to reach the next concentric circle in our relationship with God.

Book Description
So many of us, as well as our children, lose our way because we do not know how to let our gifts shine. Our gifts are ourselves, in being ourselves. God naturally works through us, and we grow and blossom into spiritual flowers. However, when we are taught or begin to believe that who we are has no value, then begins our spiritual separation from God, as well as our natural gifts. Therefore, we become lost in a world of confusion. In a world where there is no mercy, predator becomes prey and prey is often predator. We become trapped in a world of illusion where there is no escape without God. My goal with Spiritual Essence is to give a person a way out through my experiences and the blessing of spiritual insight my Father has given me. This is my way of giving back to the world what has been so freely given to me. I pray that God will bless you and me in my efforts to do his will.
