Book Description
ON July 14, 1951 an American business man sat down to write a letter to a friend. It was a letter that took some thirty days, and ran to thirty-seven typewritten pages. In these pages, Robert H. W. Welch, Jr., set forth brilliantly and convincingly a straightforward clarification of some important recent history in Asia. At the same time he poured into paragraph after paragraph his indignation at the stupidity and suspicions of treason revealed by this history, and his alarm at the continuing course of events. This book is his letter, now published only after his friends had distributed several thousand mimeographed copies. Robert H. W. Welch, Jr., gives here the historical background of events which culminated in the dismissal of General MacArthur. Using on the public information available to him, he goes back twenty-five years to the first Communist uprising in China, Step by step he traces the blunders, betrayals, and deceptions which formed the United States foreign policy, the policy which led to sweeping Communist victories in China. As a concise, thorough summary of these events this book is invaluable. The final part of the book is a short biographical sketch of Chiang Kai-Shek (1887-1975), leader of the Republic of China between 1928-1975, first in mainland China until 1949 and then in Taiwan until his death. “Your treatise is just the kind of concise exposition of a whole picture which, as a publisher, I was constantly seeking and so seldom found. It presents for the first time in brief compass, with convincing honesty, crucial and appalling facts of a foreign policy that has led from one Communist victory to another; a foreign policy that, in spite of all revelations of stupidities and betrayals, has not been corrected and is still heading in the same direction. If your small book is read widely enough it can have far-reaching results.”—W. T. COUCH, Former Director, University of Chicago Press

Book Description
A Double Murder Mystery Inspired by Actual Events. Jerry Banks was arrested on December 11, 1974 for the murders of a high school band director and a pretty young college student. He was arraigned and bound over to the Grand Jury. They determined the evidence was sufficient for a jury trial. Although Banks was the one who alerted police to the murders and despite a lack of hard evidence, eyewitness or motive, he was found guilty and sentenced to die in the electric chair on March 28, 1975-just 107 days after his arrest. His appeals ended the same way: guilty and death sentence. A miscarriage of justice eventually came to light due to a new team of hard-working young lawyers, but it was too late for Jerry to have his old life back. Hans Broder, is a lifelong resident of Henry County, Georgia where the murders and trials took place while he was a prominent bank executive. He knew Jerry Banks, was a keen observer of the trials and talk-of-the-town and has created a compelling retelling of the ups and downs of Banks' life...and eventual death. History is known to be a good teacher. Many lessons can be learned from the events that occurred almost fifty years ago to the young Black man named Jerry Banks. May All of You and God Forgive Me questions whether the circumstances surrounding his trial were fair given its tragic ending.

Book Description
A young mother's life is forever changed and her faith in God is broken when her son in diagnosed with complex physical disabilities. Restore and grow your faith as you read about Hilary Yancey's personal journey back to God. Three months into her pregnancy with her first child, Hilary Yancey received a phone call that changed everything. As she learned the diagnosis-cleft lip and palate, a missing right eye, possible breathing complications-Hilary began to pray in earnest. Even in the midst of these findings, she prayed that God would heal her son. God could do a miracle unlike anything she had seen. Only when Hilary held her baby, Jack, in her arms for the first time did she realize God had given her something drastically different than what she had demanded. Hilary struggled to talk to God as she sat for six weeks beside Jack's crib in the NICU. She consented to surgeries and learned to care for a breathing tube and gastronomy button. In her experience with motherhood Hilary had become more familiar with the sound of her son's heart monitor than the sound of his heartbeat. Later, during surgeries and emergency trips back to the hospital with her crying, breathless boy, Hilary reproached the stranger God had become. Jack was different. Hilary was not the mother she once imagined. God was not who Hilary knew before. But she could not let go of one certainty-she could see the image of Christ in Jack's face. Slowly, through long nights of wrestling and longer nights of silence, Hilary cut a path through her old, familiar faith to the God behind it. She discovered that it is by walking out onto the water, where the firm ground gives way, that we can find him. And meeting Jesus, who rises with his scars to proclaim new life, is never what you once imagined.

Book Description
The role of women in church leadership is controversial; however, the Pentecostal tradition, and specifically the Assemblies of God, has held that women can serve at all levels of church leadership. There is no role that is off-limits to women. Citing their distinctive approach to theology, Pentecostals embrace women's leadership in policy, but in practice, women are often frustrated by the lack of opportunity and representation in leadership roles. By exploring the rhetorical history, how Pentecostals talk about the role of women, the purpose of this book is to expose those rhetorical constraints that create dissonance and discontentment. This book explores how Pentecostals use and are used by language that shapes this dissonance and how that impacts the lived reality of both men and women in the Pentecostal tradition.

Book Description
Forgiveness is a foundation of Christian faith but what do we mean when we say Forgive? Do we really know what forgiveness is about in our relationship with God and others? Do we realize that God in all His generosity, all His lavishly offered grace, God treats forgiveness in a different manner. When it comes to love, God is limitlessly generous. When we search for peace, He gives it to us. When we miss Him, nothing will stop Him. When we look for understanding, He is limited by nothing. However, when it comes to forgiveness, God has set a clear rule; I will not demand vengeance if you do the same: just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. (Colossians 3:13).
