This is a collection of 36 true miracle stories, written or told by ordinary people who have experienced extraordinary things. Each of them is recorded, with integrity and from the heart, to encourage others to believe in, and to trust the God who made these miracles possible. Included are stories of life change, transformation, provision, protection, forgiveness and supernatural healing. The following are a few excerpts from the stories: "With amazement, we noticed the pain and headaches stop occurring as frequently as before, and then they stopped completely." (Sabina's story) "I was sure that my little ones had been miraculously protected by an angel." (Gloria's story) "The letter said that they were going to pay me 287,000 dollars I was in shock and unbelief..." (Melissa's story) "Dr. Cohen added, 'Joan, I wasn't going to tell you until later that you would not live out this year, but it looks like your Jesus had a different plan in mind.'" (Joan's story) "I was alive again and talking to the doctors, answering all their questions properly." (Aurele's story) The heart of the author in collecting and publishing these stories is to glorify God for His goodness and grace towards His people, and to make Him known to those who do not yet know Him. These stories are appropriate for young and old alike. They will inspire both believers and unbelievers to a new level of faith in a God who still performs miracles around the world today.
At great risk to their own lives and the lives of their ten children, Bernard and Dora Prinzen sheltered seven downed Allied airmen in German-occupied Holland during the last tumultuous months of World War II.

Romancing God: The Divine Love Affair, is a poetic epistolary series that embodies the spirit of the biblical poets. If you have read Job, Psalm, Proverbs, or Ecclesiastes, you know that these open diaries express the transparency of the human heart to God. Like Job, David and Solomon, author, DORIS WELLINGTON documents her spiritual contemplations during some of the most difficult times in her life. What started as a one-day muse evolved into years of putting to paper the soul of a journey that has helped to balance a life often fractured by the harsh realities of the world. Romancing God is the human heart lifted up to a divine God, and God pulling it up to caress and console, instruct and guide, heal and liberate, and to confirm through words that when the heart believes it can be the recipient of miracles that some dismiss as unobtainable. In the form of a true master, the author pulls her audience into her literal and figurative world to illuminate that the relentless pursuit of divine purpose, power and peace is more often than not paved with intense suffering and extraordinary challenges, and that for most; though the fruit is a desired outcome, the journey of fire is declined. Romancing God: The Divine Love Affair does not propose any particular construct upon which these visitations are built, received or understood; they are neither patterns to be followed nor biblical doctrines or spiritual principles to espouse; they are purely the expressions of the heart in my personal relationship with God. For me, Romancing God tucks me into the warm trusting embrace of God's love and allows me to be authentic in worship.
Drawing inspiration from the metaphoric and real-life experiences of women, particularly African American women, Dead Woman Dancing on Her Grave, interweaves poetic narratives to salute, and inspire warrior women from every walk of life-who despite sometimes insurmountable odds, still rise to the call of champions to live out their greatness alongside of those who think themselves less formidable. And to snatch from the mire of mediocrity and lift to new heights of self-awareness and victory, women who have not yet resolved the importance of their place and presence in society, and women who triumph despite barriers designed to bar them from being or becoming their authentic selves-Bravo
The Dear John Reader: Letters of Disclosure in Love and Emotional Emancipation

Nothing reveals the secrets of the heart like a letter to a lover, a friend, or a significant other. The heart stores the emotional investment of its relationships as if those emotions are heirlooms to be treasured, passed along or recycled for the next relationship. Dear John, is a compilation of letters written to individuals at various levels of relationships. These letters express a range of emotions from affectionate love to disappointment, grief and loss from heartbreak, and downright disgust over the audacity of certain suitors whose expectations exceed reality. It is the journey of disengaging the heart from the emotional pain and regret of love; lost, found or attempted. These letters were written to explore and express what these relationships contributed to the enrichment of love, or the unraveling of life. They expose complicated liaisons that often mask complicity and compromise for the sake of "getting it on" or "getting along." Or to hide wounds inflicted in relationships that should've never existed at all, let alone in the form of romance. Thankfully, they are also penned as testaments to the enduring power of love. For those who have already gone there in your thinking, The Dear John Reader is not a diary of physical relationships. It is not an odyssey of forbidden love and fantasy desires. It is neither the first nor last installment of love gone wrong. However, these letters are based on real-life situations that span a range of issues as far back as Junior high school and are included by permission to help understand intimate, interpersonal relationships whether romantic, physical, emotional, plutonic or otherwise. It is the value of these relationships that the Dear John Reader measures, taking into consideration the depth of the emotional investment involved to determine what lesson each engendered. These letters are mere guides and not intended for instructions as to whether to enter or how to exit a particular relationship. Therefore, if needed, seek wise counsel or therapy to help navigate your safe exit out of an abusive or unfulfilling relationship.
In Just in Time, the first book in the new cozy mystery series Murder, She Blogged, Clisty Sinclair's romance with police sergeant Jake Davis is growing as fast as her career. She constantly worries how she'll keep up with everything. From being a local newscaster and the super blogger of Fort Wayne, her life suddenly explodes. The CEO of the Bryson News Network in New York discovers her blog when Clisty posts updates about Faith Sterling's escape after ten years in captivity, and the trial of her kidnapper that follows. BNN's boss is so impressed with her work he offers Clisty a contract that catapults her into the fast-paced world of network television journalism. In the beginning, it's hard for Clisty to celebrate her new gold-plated job. It involves a move to New York City, away from the family she loves and Jake whom she would love more deeply if her compulsive, in-charge nature allowed her. She thought she had to control everything around her. Remember, the abductor snatched Clisty along with Faith, when they were both nine years old, but Clisty managed to pull away and hid. She had almost a lifetime of fear to overcome. Still, she knew anyone would feel blessed if offered a fantastic job with triple points in the contract. The contract includes BNN's financial underwriting of her blog, Crime Beat from the Heartland; publication of her True Crime novels; and her own segment, Stories from the Heartland, on their popular program, American News Magazine. Clisty's Heartland stories help change broadcast journalism from a constant focus on the negative, to a positive spotlight on ordinary people doing extraordinary things to benefit others. The first Heartland Hero she schedules is actually a couple, Dr. Karl Kramer, who created a convenient medical aid with universal appeal, and his wife, Professor Karen Kramer, who programmed it. Clisty, her producer and their camera man tape an interview with the couple a few days before Karen's attack; before a stalker turns up at Clisty's front door; and before the murder of a product-tester for the device. These events create a need to hire Jake as Clisty's body guard and over-all security. Clisty calls on her blog followers to help add light to the darkness by reporting any research they find that may solve the crimes. Could the Kramers amazing new medical "Buddy" be the cause of the murder and mysterious attacks the news team encounters? Clisty must learn to move at the new rapid tempo; solve the mysteries that surround her; overcome her fears from the past; and secretly keep the new love in her life, Jake Davis, at the center of her whirlwind. Secret? Clisty's life is as complicated as yours. Just in Time continues the story of blogger and news anchor, Clisty Sinclair, first introduced in the prequel, News at Eleven - A Novel.
