Dalton Russell is a man broken-hearted by loss due to suicide. He grapples with his own inner demons and feelings of abandonment. After his best friend also commits suicide, he inherits a boat, but not just any boat. Dalton soon discovers the boat left by his friend has an incredible secret. Soon, the entire Russell family is swept up in a wave of what can only be described as miracles, but as their experiences grow, the family realizes they cannot keep their secret to themselves. Something about their boat isn't normal, isn't ordinary, but might just be a miracle. Inspired by what they've seen and Who they've talked to, the Russell family begins new projects and a mission to share what they've learned.

Mr. Song's Dinner Table: Or ... What You Don't Know about Chinese Food

Growing up, I didn't know much about China; but I thought I was pretty well-versed about Chinese food, especially after I met this female Chinese chef, during my time in the Culinary Arts Program at Charles Chadsey High School. We were serving food at one of the arts schools, in the Cultural Center; and she used art of the time to school me about the dishes we were serving. She also taught me how to hold a pair of chopsticks. I came away from that experience even more determined to pay attention to the menus, whenever I ate out at a Chinese restaurant.But, it wasn't until I came to China that I discovered how little I actually knew about Chinese food. And what I learned, living here for just short of seven years, motivated me to talk about it, in a book. Over my time here, I was privileged to eat in some of China's finest restaurants, to eat in numerous Chinese homes; and, even to be hosted in a tiny rural farmhouse, in Henan Province - seventeen hour, by train, away from my city.Mr. Song's Dinner Table is not a cookbook, although I have included a small number of recipes. It is an exploration of the things that make Chinese food special and unique; and the things that distinguish Mainland Chinese food from what we have available to us, in most parts of the United States. From street food, to banquet food, to high-end restaurant food, to the delicious food in little holes-in-the-wall, this book explores them all.

This is the story of my seven years in China: the nuances, intrigues, and peculiarities of a country about which I had many misconceptions. This is the first part of a two-volume series; and begins the night I first landed in Shanghai, and my first big dinner, after arriving. I wrote this book as a guide to the traveler, coming to China; so that you won't be too blown away by the country you see, when you get here. I was privileged to travel to numerous locations, around China; and, so, saw the variety that this country -- as well as Hong Kong -- has to offer.

This book is the story of a man who was raised in one of the world's largest and best-known hetero-doxical religions; and walked away to become a minister in the Baptist Church. Bishop Johnson's mother became a Jehovah's witness when he was six months old, so growing up Watchtower doctrine was all he knew. He left the Jehovah's witnesses at the age of twenty-three; and his younger sister left as well, three years later. Watchtower doctrine mandates that all Jehovah's witnesses in good standing must shun anyone who either leaves the organization, or is cast out - even members of one's own family. In the first chapter Bishop Johnson's story begins with a tribute to his late mother; who refused to alienate her children, and probably came under harsh scrutiny as a result. In the book he tells the reader about the Society's controversial disciplinary policy, called "Disfellowshiping;" while at the same time giving the reader a whimsical look at life in the Kingdom Hall he attended for most of his childhood. Bishop Johnson wrote From Kingdom Hall to Kingdom Call to be an inspiration and offer words of encouragement to Jehovah's witnesses; ex-Jehovah's witnesses; student Jehovah's witnesses; and all other seekers to 'The Truth.' As his story draws to a close, he writes: "You might not remember more than half the stories I have told you in this book: a lot of what I have told you has absolutely nothing to do with the 'end story;' but if you take nothing else away from my story, please let it be the deliberateleness by which the Holy Spirit moves us into the path of our destiny, if we are willing to let Him - if we don't try to push back against the tailwind."

I was twenty-three years old, when I joined the Bethel Baptist Institutional Church, in Jacksonville, Florida. All of my life, up until about five months before I joined Bethel, I had been a Jehovah's witness. When I left the Jehovah's witnesses, I joined the Nation of Islam, for about three months. It was during these three months that I encountered one of Bethel's deacons, who witnessed Christ to me, and shared his testimony. In New Member Orientation class, the teacher confronted us with a question that has resounded in my mind for the forty-four years, since then: "Why are you a Baptist?" to be honest, I had never learned anything about Baptists, when I was a witness. I was at this Baptist church, because my friend who witnessed Christ to me was a member of this church, and had invited me to come. Otherwise, to answer the teacher's question, I had to first know what a Baptist is. This book starts by answering that question, and finishes with my answer to the teacher's question.When I first joined the Baptist church, the teacher in New Members class challenged us to answer the question, "Why am I a Baptist?" Forty-four years later, I am writing this book, to share my answer to his question.In "Why I Am A Baptist," I tell you what I learned about me: from discovering what a Baptist IS, to discovering the Baptist in me, who has always' been there ... even when I was a JW.This book is not intended to tell you how to be a Baptist; or, to answer the teacher's question, for you. If that were my intent, I would have chosen a different title. But it will present a short history of the Baptist Church, from the early beginnings, to its arrival in North America, to the events that led to the launching of he first Black Baptist churches in the United States, and beyond.
