Book Description
The inspiring story of Isaiah Austin, the man who captured our hearts when he was made the honorary NBA draft pick after a shocking diagnosis ended his professional basketball career before he could even step onto the court. “There are two choices in life: you make it your excuse or you make it your story.” Isaiah Austin’s mother shared these words of wisdom with him as a child as he came to terms with a torn retina taking away the ability to see with his right eye. Faced with adversity at such a young age, Isaiah had to choose—let his disability define him or overcome the challenge and shine. Overcoming that challenge is exactly what Isaiah did as he made a name for himself on Baylor University’s NCAA Division 1 basketball team. Everyone expected Isaiah to have a successful career in the NBA after college, but on June 21, 2014—just five days before the NBA draft—Austin was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue, putting him at risk of rupturing his heart if he continued to play basketball. In seconds, Austin’s hopes for a career in the NBA became impossible. After hearing about Isaiah’s diagnosis, NBA commissioner Adam Silver invited Austin to attend the 2014 draft as his personal guest. The League recognized Isaiah’s courage, resilience, and determination in a bittersweet moment when he was made an Honorary Draft Pick. Rather than letting another challenge destroy his faith, Austin has once again strived to overcome adversity by becoming a spokesperson for The Marfan Foundation, raising awareness and understanding for the disease. Despite the many heartbreaking challenges he has faced, Isaiah’s story is inspirational and full of hope as he encourages everyone to tower in the face of adversity and keep living out your dreams, no matter what life throws your way. *Proceeds from Dream Again will go to the Isaiah Austin Foundation, which provides support for the awareness and research of Marfan syndrome and those affected by it.

Book Description
There are four ways to revitalize a church, organizationally speaking. The easiest change is policy change. You simply adjust the way you do things. A second strategy is to change personnel. Firing the minister or electing new lay leaders is a common approach. Another change tactic is to create new program structures. Reorganization plans are familiar in institutions of all kinds. Change policy. Change people. Change programs. Each of these approaches has its advocates. But the approach I suggest is the most basic of all--clarify purpose. The fourth way to revitalize a church is to define and act on its fundamental purpose. A new dream awakes a congregation. A poster motto challenges: "Aim for the sun. You may not reach it, but you will fly higher that if you never aimed at all." --from the Foreword

Book Description
There is perhaps no crime more disturbing than the abuse of a child—and no court cases as upsetting as those in which juveniles who have faced abuse are tried for fighting back. In this gripping memoir Sara Kruzan, a survivor of childhood abuse and sex trafficking, tells the honest, disturbing, and ultimately empowering story of her journey from abuse to incarceration without parole for killing her abuser to finally gaining her liberation. "As someone who has worked with trafficking survivors in the developing world, I am struck by how vividly Kruzan’s memoir shows us how easily these same atrocities take place, barely noticed, beneath the sophisticated veneer of life in the U.S. A brilliant and illuminating read."—Leymah Gbowee, 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and author of Mighty Be Our Powers Sara is currently an advocate for the rights of incarcerated women and children, and the inspiration behind Sara’s Law, a bill currently in the House of Representative seeking to protect children of abuse from facing life sentences. "I was eleven when I first met GG. I realized later that he had to have been aware of the chaos that was my life because he played me perfectly. I was walking home after school ... I heard a red Mustang purring like a huge lion behind me as I turned onto my block. When it caught up with me, a man leaned out of the window and motioned for me to come closer. 'Hey, excuse me,' he said. I approached the window and politely and cheerfully replied, ‘Yes?’ He said, 'I’ve been noticing you a lot, and I just want to talk to you. I’m gonna go get some ice cream and go to the park. I would love for you to come and join me. We won’t be gone long. Is that okay with you?' Ice cream! I found his offer irresistible. GG leaned over and opened the passenger door, 'What’s your name? People call me GG.' 'Sara,' I said shyly.'"—from I Cried to Dream Again

Book Description
This companion journal to "The Power To Dream Again!" book is a personal tool which allows you to freely document every dream, vision, trance or impression that you experience during the night watches or even during the day. This journal will allow you to not only write down the dream that God is showing you, but will also allow you to make note of relevant scriptures, images, colors, animals and the like as you continue to navigate the prophetic pathways to interpreting the meaning of your dreams. I pray that you will be able to discern when your dream is from God and when it is from the devil. Further, I pray that you will become spiritually mature enough to embrace your godly dreams and spiritually militant to go to battle against every bad dream, nightmares, or demonic enemy seeking to enter your life through your dream realm. Meditate upon your dreams through the Word of God and spend much time in prayer and worship before Him. Allow Him to minister the truth of what He is speaking and saying to you through your dreams. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2) In Proverbs 25:2, the Word of God speaks volumes as it admonishes us that it is an honor to be able to interpret the counsel of God that He has released through a dream, vision or even a parable. It is given to the people of God to know the mysteries and profound kingdom truths that He has encoded throughout the annuls of time and even in our dispensation. Such unveiling of mysteries has revealed economic breakthroughs, prophetic insight, the end of demonic world governments, modern day discoveries and inventions; they have unlocked divine destinies, unsurpassed wisdom and insight, divine purpose, godly relationships, deceitful enemies and so much more. Our God is an awesome God and worthy of all praise and glory. He is the God of all wisdom, knowledge and understanding. He has established the foundation of the world and everything in it. It is His desire that we seek to know Him; that we pursue hard after Him as He teaches us His ways, His precepts and counsel. It is truly an honor to know our God; to be able to hear and perceive Him through the mysteries with which He speaks to us. I encourage you to embrace the dream realm with godly wisdom, counsel and understanding as you seek to uncover the mysteries and hidden messages in your dreams as God gives them to you! I pray that on this journey that you truly find the power and courage to dream again!!.....God bless you!
