Book Description
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" II Corinthians 10:4-5. In this riveting tale, Laila, aka LaLa, struggled daily to fight the sexual temptations from within. As she tried to move forward in her walk with God and new role as a wife and mother, the men from her past were calling her back to a lifestyle she desperately wanted to forget. Growing up on Chicago's South Side, LaLa learned early on how to please a man. Her beauty, body, seductive ways, and passionate touch, made it difficult for any man to deny her; and for years, they laid claim to what was not theirs lawfully. Laila was unaware of the ungodly soul ties that would carry over into her marriage as well as ministry. She was clueless to the level of temptations that soon followed. It was on this spiritual journey that she was able to love, and find forgiveness and redemption through God. Follow her as she takes you on a journey to the beginning of it all.

Book Description
Discover the power of recovery ministry for your church. Churchgoers who experience painful family issues, addictions, abuse, loss, mental illnesses, and other secret sorrows begin to believe they live beyond the grip of God’s redemptive hand.

Bridges to Grace is an inspiring introduction highlighting the stories of churches across the country that are thinking systematically and organizationally about the ministry of recovery. The authors share how this ministry is bringing God’s grace to hurting individuals. They relate both success and failure, and best of all, they demonstrate how God uses recovery ministry powerfully for his kingdom purposes.

The Struggle
Author: Anthony Corelli
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1644711796
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
A suburban South Denver family has recently moved to a beautiful neighborhood only to find that their lives have begun to fall apart. Strange knocking and other unexplained events began to happen almost immediately. After Jonathan Stout is asked to leave, his wife, Pamela, is forced to deal with the increasing activity on her own. Minor issues become terrifying occurrences that the family can no longer ignore. The three Stout children each have their own encounters, prompting Pamela to reach out for the help of an out-of-box pastor at a local church. Little Tony Corelli has been wrestling with demons since he was a young child. His earliest memories are of the spirits that haunted his childhood home. As a teenager, he is visited by a messenger of God who sets him on the path of fighting demons on behalf of the oppressed. At age seventeen, he comes face-to-face with the familiar spirits that were tormenting his family. Now, Pastor Anthony Corelli is an established exorcist who is often called upon to help those who are under demonic attack. Although he is frequently at odds with his superiors, he refuses to turn his back on those in need. In spite of his years of experience, nothing could have prepared him for the demonic forces tormenting the Stout family. His bravery does not take away from the fact that he is in over his head. A missing girl, an unsolved murder, and an angry detective all stand in the way of Pastor Anthony's efforts to free the Stouts from the most ancient of evils. Fortunately, his love for Christ and emotionally hurting people keeps him fighting for this helpless family. The ancient spirits are deceptive, as the determined exorcist seeks to expel them once and for all. Many twists and turns will have you continuously second-guessing your theories and theology. The ending will not only shock you, but it will also haunt your nightmares. Even though the demon appears to have the upper hand, the love of God shines through in this tale that will force you to solidify what you believe about the demonic. When all is said and done, those involved will never be the same. Skeptics have become believers, survivors have become wiser, and unbreakable bonds have been formed. Perhaps the most important result of this spiritual battle is the fact that a new team has formed. A team that is ready to live in The Struggle.
