Book Description
Faith is formed by the power of the Holy Spirit through personal, trusted relationships in partnership with the ministry of local congregations. This book stresses the importance of caring for others as the shepherd of souls ministry. It names the essential work of the church that can't be confined to the work of pastors, other congregational leaders, and the programs and efforts of congregations. The work of the church happens when we are home, at work, and at play. Shepherding of souls happens all the time and everywhere.

Book Description
Drawing on a lifetime of pastoral experience, The Care of Souls is a beautifully written treasury of proven wisdom which pastors will find themselves turning to again and again. Harold Senkbeil helps remind pastors of the essential calling of the ministry: preaching and living out the Word of God while orienting others in the same direction. And he offers practical and fruitful adviceâ€"born out of his five decades as a pastorâ€"that will benefit both new pastors and those with years in the pulpit. In a time when many churches have lost sight of the real purpose of the church, The Care of Souls invites a new generation of pastors to form the godly habits and practical wisdom needed to minister to the hearts and souls of those committed to their care.

Book Description
A fascinating discussion of the Michael teachings—an extraordinary body of channeled work that addresses the fundamental questions of what it means to be human—from an expert Michael channel "Michael" is a group of souls who teach that we are eternal beings journeying from the Tao and back again in an adventure of exploration and creativity. Each step along the way, we make choices that shape our experience. For example, after committing to a series of lifetimes, we choose one of seven roles, or soul types: server, priest, artisan, sage, warrior, king, or scholar. These teachings address many age-old questions, such as "How did we become who we are?" "Why are we here?" "Where are we going?" and "How does the universe work?" In addition, Journey of Your Soul sheds light on the channeling process itself, answering questions such as "How does channeling work?" "Why do different channels receive conflicting information?" and "What does it take to become a channel?" Hoodwin shows us that it is possible, and indeed beneficial, to engage all parts of the human consciousness. His unique analytical approach to channeling will help readers gain a firm intellectual understanding of what is involved. In his foreword, Jon Klimo, PhD, author of Channeling: Investigations on Receiving Information from Paranormal Sources, says, "Shepherd Hoodwin has given us one of the best books to date about the phenomenon of channeling. Journey of Your Soul may well also be the best of the Michael books due to its clarity, thoroughness, and detail, and thanks to the fact that the author, an exceptionally clearheaded Michael channel himself, brings real integrity and authenticity to our understanding of Michael in particular and to the channeling process in general."

Book Description
"The Transatlantic Trade in Africans (TTA) has no equal in the annals of modern history in terms of the scope and depth of suffering experienced by its victims, mostly at the hands of European traders and enslavers. Yet, denial and silence continue to surround this human tragedy. Hilary Beckles and Verene Shepherd, two of the Caribbean's most distinguished historians, make extensive use of the research by scholars from Europe, Africa and the Americas to describe the trade and analyse its impact on African, European and Caribbean societies in language and style that makes the information accessible and comprehensible for school students and the general reader. Readers will gain an appreciation of: The role of slavery from ancient to modern times and its development in African societies The contribution of African scholars and intellectuals in the pre-slavery period and how the trade bled the continent of valuable intellectual and technical resources The instution of slavery from an economic perspective, through an examination of the business aspects of the development of the TTA The physical and psychological consequences of the Middle Passage on Africans The trade in Africans as a business with examples of companies, individuals and nations that were active participants The contributions of the TTA to the economic development of the West and the underdevelopment of African societies. Trading Souls, like its companion volume Saving Souls, is a reflection upon a history that was terrible and turbulent and tries to make sense of the silence and denial even as it seeks to break it. "

Book Description
"If he was doomed to forever carry the heart of a coward, he could at least refuse to act upon it." The dead are stirring in Ingola.

But when the lost spirit of a young noblewoman needs his help, Etienne finds himself pulled back into a world of dark magic, pirates, and Old Gods. Ryou is loyal to his Queen, the ruler of pirates and thieves, but when he is sent to assist Etienne with unraveling the mysteries of missing ships and walking dead, he finds his loyalties tested. Is the sly mage just a distraction or something more? It is up to the mage, the spirit, and the pirate to thwart the evil tainting the land of Ingola in this high-stakes adventure, complete with mystery, action, and LGBTQIA+ romance. Content Warnings: Violence, gore, death, non-explicit sex. What readers are saying: "I really enjoyed the book. It was a great ride. Full of adventure, queer romance, and magic. I enjoyed the pace, the relationship building, and the fight scenes. What I would have done to read a book like this growing up. I didn't have to project myself into the read because you wrote it directly into it." -Pedro L "The evolution and continuation of the Call of Calamity saga set fifteen years in the future. A mature Etienne has fine-tuned his mage skills and finds himself embarked on a journey that includes a beautiful young noble cut down in her prime and trapped in the spirit body, a strong skillful pirate that is infuriating, seductive, entertaining, and intriguing.

Book Description
"Magic doesn't fix everything," the mage agreed, "but if it doesn't fix this, we're all dead." Torn apart by Ryou's betrayal, Etienne and Zuri must find a way to circumvent the Pirate Queen's plans and regain their freedom. But when the devious Queen Kyomi demands that Etienne serve her, he has no choice but to assist in retrieving the object she desires, even if Ryou is his captor and guard. Mystery-shrouded magic and a broken heart consume Etienne. Darkness and twisted thoughts are Zuri's constant companions. She doesn't know why she's tormented by thoughts of her traumatic past, but the struggle to simply be herself is as great as any battle. While Etienne saves her body, Zuri realizes she has to find a way to save her heart-else keeping her body alive is pointless. A journey of healing and growth is needed, but taking the first step is often the hardest part. Loyalty is the only thing Ryou has left, but he cannot decide who he should be loyal to. His Queen, the fierce and powerful Kyomi, who pulled him from a Port Carcarac alley and set him to sail, the powerful mage who promises a cure for Ryou, or to himself? Join Etienne, Zuri, and Ryou on the final leg of their journey as the fate of Illygad hangs in the balance once more. What readers are saying: "I really enjoyed this sequel.

Book Description
People everywhere are looking for a higher perspective on love than the popular view of romance. Loving from Your Soul - Creating Powerful Relationships," an inspiring and unusual book by Shepherd Hoodwin, goes to the core of the issue by exploring the nature of love itself. It is a collection of discourses and counseling Hoodwin channeled from the Michael entity that views love as an eternal reality not dependent on other people or situations - it is something we can learn to access all the time through connecting directly with our soul. Michael is well-known to readers of metaphysical books. There are several Michael books in print, from the work of various channels, and most of them deal with a technical body of information called the Michael teachings. However, Loving from Your Soul is not a technical book. It deals with topics such as sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, friendship, finding a mate, and alternative lifestyles. These subjects are framed within a larger context of explorations such as "Loving Yourself," "Being at Your Source," "Different Ways of Loving," "Oneness," "Communicating Your Whole Being," and "Expanding Love." According to Loving from Your Soul, "Love is a unified experience that does not cut off any portion of your reality. When you are loving yourself, you are loving others. When you are loving others, you are loving yourself. When you are having joy in what you are doing, you are giving joy to the world - there is no separation between you and the world." "What does it mean to love and to be loved? People everywhere are seeking a higher perspective than the popular view of romance. This outstanding book goes to the core of the issue by illuminating the nature of love itself as a reality that is always available. Topics include sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, and finding a mate, framed within a larger context. With vibrant clarity, it will have a resounding impact on the way we look at love from now on." -Sheila Andersen, Leading Edge Review "This book positively radiates love. There is genuine wisdom here." -Key Carey, author of The Starseed Transmissions Loving from Your Soul is quite beautiful. Michael comes through loud and clear. I'm delighted that Michael is around." -Ram Dass, author of How Can I Help? and Be Here Now "This is channeling at its best. Loving from Your Soul is more than just excellent-it captures a lovely combination of compassion and intellectual clarity." -John Friedlander, author of Psychic Psychology "Loving from Your Soul is superb and brings great joy. It touches the profound depths of who we are. It is far and away the best book on love I have ever read, exploring how we can love from the deepest and strongest part of ourselves. I experienced tears of recognition as I read it." -Mayo Gray, author of The Savage Season "The truths emerge powerfully in this loving, compassionate material. A wonderful experience." -Catalyst

Book Description
Christ's sheep need shepherding. That's where you come in. With more than 60 years of ministry between them, Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford have come to understand that everything in ministry--even administration, leadership, and planning--revolves around the ancient tradition of the care of souls. Pastors are entrusted with the care of a flock by the Good Shepherd and are called to be faithful to this task. But pastoring seems to be getting more and more difficult. Based on a sound theological framework, Senkbeil and Woodford present a set of practical tools for church leadership and strategy. Calling on their vast experience, they encourage pastors to protect, guide, and feed their flock as Jesus would, bridging the eternal wisdom of the word of God with the everyday practicality of hands-on leadership. Originally published as Church Leadership & Strategy, this revision includes a new chapter and litany.
