Book Description
More than a Biblical case for gay marriage, The Bed Keeper takes readers on a journey through space and time within the pages of Scripture, and reveals ancient prophecies long forgotten by the Church (both Catholic and Protestant), which illustrates teachings pertaining to not only the world wide gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, but indeed the Return of Jesus Christ Himself! Along the way, we will discover that Jesus taught LGBT people are naturally born so from our mothers' wombs, that the Apostle Paul ordained single gender Holy Matrimony, and that God demands we be affirmed in Churches all over the globe as equal partakers in the Kingdom of Heaven! The Bed Keeper is a message of hope for the LGBT community, complete with Scripture-based prophetic instructions for the Church to at last become all adorned like a Bride for her Bridegroom!

Book Description
Sadly, refugees are some of the most traumatized people in the world. Although their backgrounds vary, all share a commonality of determination and perseverance to overcome their complex challenges, both in the past and in the future while attempting to move forward into a new chapter. Odu Kpwere Amari'di, a South Sudanese immigrant living in Canada, details his journey through life to date, beginning with his birth in Uganda to refugee parents who fled Sudan during war and eventually returned to their homeland with him to build a new life. As he reveals a compelling look into his humble African background through relatable anecdotes about his childhood memories, regrets, missed opportunities, and other experiences intertwined with historical narratives, Amari’di explains why he is a refugee, the continuing plight of refugees, and the struggles as their fight continues to shun the perceptions and judgments and bear a burden of shame for allegedly abandoning their home countries in pursuit of a better life. My Life as a Refugee is the memoir of a South Sudanese immigrant that chronicles his life from birth to date as he learned valuable lessons about life, love, and inclusion while persevering through his challenges.

Book Description
What if the key to changing your life--and yourself--is already in your hand? So many women struggle with what to do with their daily lives. They feel trapped in everyday drudgery and disappointment, in dull domestic duties, and in mundane jobs they despise. Where is the abundant, purposeful life they were promised? Kari Patterson shows readers the truth: in each unremarkable life lies an opportunity to see, know, love, and be utterly transformed by a God who meets everyone right where they are. Instead of stepping away from real life to find God, Patterson equips women with a six-step practice to move further in and meet Him in the humdrum moments of everyday existence. And when a woman's inner being is truly changed by the sacred, everything in her world changes too--right down to tackling the dirty dishes. Through entertaining narrative, candid real-life stories, Bible study, and practical instruction, Sacred Mundane guides individuals or small groups to discover the beautiful sacredness in the lives they already lead. Women who long to grow in God and make a real difference in the world--no matter how small--will reach eagerly for this book and the radical transformation it offers. "Our daily routine, with its mundane tasks and mindless repetition, is ultimately an offering of worship to God. What a great truth from a great God!" --Ann Byle, author of The Making of a Christian Bestseller and coauthor of Devotions for the Soul Surfer

Book Description
This book is about questions and about statements made in the Bible. I found myself having many questions after reading from a King James Holy Bible that was revised by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America. Th e New Testament was also done by the same division of the churches of Christ.

Book Description
The Exodus has become a core tradition of Western civilization. Millions read it, retell it, and celebrate it. But did it happen? Biblical scholars, Egyptologists, archaeologists, historians, literary scholars, anthropologists, and filmmakers are drawn to it. Unable to find physical evidence until now, many archaeologists and scholars claim this mass migration is just a story, not history. Others oppose this conclusion, defending the biblical account. Like a detective on an intricate case no one has yet solved, pioneering Bible scholar and bestselling author of Who Wrote the Bible? Richard Elliott Friedman cuts through the noise — the serious studies and the wild theories — merging new findings with new insight. From a spectrum of disciplines, state-of-the-art archeological breakthroughs, and fresh discoveries within scripture, he brings real evidence of a historical basis for the exodus — the history behind the story. The biblical account of millions fleeing Egypt may be an exaggeration, but the exodus itself is not a myth. Friedman does not stop there. Known for his ability to make Bible scholarship accessible to readers, Friedman proceeds to reveal how much is at stake when we explore the historicity of the exodus. The implications, he writes, are monumental. We learn that it became the starting-point of the formation of monotheism, the defining concept of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Moreover, we learn that it precipitated the foundational ethic of loving one’s neighbors — including strangers — as oneself. He concludes, the actual exodus was the cradle of global values of compassion and equal rights today.
