Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone is a unique collection of music and poetry that celebrates the spirit of Kwanzaa. Set to familiar holiday tunes, these songs have all new lyrics and are expressed with a distinctive cultural flavor. The word “Kwanzaa” comes from the Swahili language and means “the first fruits of harvest” It is celebrated during the seven day period from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is a unique cultural event that pays homage to the past, present, and future of African Americans. It has no religious connotations nor does it attempt to replace or substitute for Christmas, or any religious beliefs or observations. The reason why Kwanzaa came to be is simple: Until the creation of Kwanzaa by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, African Americans did not have a specific occasion to universally celebrate our culture. Kwanzaa incorporates African heritage into the festivities of the winter solstice and holiday season. After over forty years, practice, Kwanzaa is now celebrated by millions of people thorough out America, the African Diaspora, and all over the world. The seven principles of Kwanzaa promote family values, cultural enlightenment, and the growth of a cooperative community spirit, collective economic opportunities, community strength, family cohesiveness and progressive individual expression. The ultimate goal of Kwanzaa is that the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, become a living part of the individual and community until they are practiced every day of the year.

War Is Hell: A Tale of War And One’s Man’s Search for Meaning
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99This story is told by a soldier who was a part of the bloody war in Burma, the executive officer of a rugged group of American jungle fighters. He tells us in great detail what the war did to him and how he feels about taking another man’s life even to protect his own as he searches for meaning in it all…
World War II is winding down in the summer of 1945, but not for Major Jenkins and his band of Merrill’s Marauders. They have spent months combing the Burmese jungle for the notorious Japanese commander Colonel Maruyama and his troops. Major Jenkins, Captain Beltrans and what was left of their band were outnumbered two to one; so, they had to devise a plan that would overcome the odds. But after they settled the score with their enemy, they had to march hundreds of miles through the jungle back to their base near the Indian border. It was now August, and the war was over, but how would the local civilians living along the only trail out of Burma view the American soldiers?
Their journey back home was fraught with unexpected dangers and facing unplanned enemies through an unforgiving jungle. They had never been taught at West Point how to fight their new enemy.
After the war, Captain Beltrans is convinced that he should return Colonel Maruyama’s samurai sword to his descendants in Japan. However, what he thought would be a routine side trip to a modern country turned into a harrowing adventure in Japanese politics and a thousand-year-old culture. He ended up in an ancient Zen Garden in Kyoto wondering if he had done the right thing by killing enemy soldiers and civilians during the war. Does he get help from his deceased native grandmother?

The Big Secret : A Parent’s Treasure
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Do you want to achieve a better life and higher promotions?
As a manufacturing plant supervisor, I was approached
by an engineer who asked me many questions about a
particular job he was interested in.
He asked several general questions, and our conversation
went on for months as he talked about his goal of earning
a promotion. I asked how long he had been trying to
accomplish his goal and he said he had worked on it for
two years.
I bet him one hundred dollars that if he would apply my
secret methods, he would receive his promotion within
six weeks. I told him to think about what I had said and
I walked off.
The very next day, he came to me and said he was
skeptical, but because he had learned a lot since he
started talking to me, he was willing to gamble. He said
he would take me up on my bet and I handed him my
materials to study, follow and apply to his future.
Five weeks later, he came back to me, glowing like a
beacon, and filled with enthusiasm.
He thanked me repeatedly, with moisture in his eyes.
The expression on his face was priceless, and he
handed me a folded up “green back”. With excitement
and enthusiasm, he told me that he had received his
promotion!
More than fourteen of my coworkers received their
promotions in record time, using the secret methods in
this book!

This is My Song, This is My Story: I’m Not Who I Used To Be
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99The powerful, personal story of how a woman whose entire identity was rooted in homosexuality and poverty thinking became transformed and set free into her true identity as a beautiful, strong woman through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
When life turns upside-down, who do you turn to? And when you turn to God, what do you do when His very presence in your life disrupts everything you thought was true about yourself, your relationships, and your sexual identity?
That was the challenging, yet ultimately freeing place that music-lover Terrie Broom found herself facing. With the unexpected, untimely death of her brother due to complications from AIDS, Terrie began seeking answers to her grief…which miraculously led her to an encounter with God.
The only problem? Her long-term, same-sex partner didn’t want to come along on that spiritual journey. Terrie’s entire world suddenly turned upside-down as she lost her beloved home, her pets, many friends, and her income.
Facing grief, loss, a dramatic breakup, financial struggles, and loneliness, Terrie had no choice but to double down on her faith in God, no matter what. With each season, she gained valuable insights into God’s love for her through devotional time, the help of godly people supporting her journey-and music that spoke to her struggles and provided powerful encouragement to continue to walk in faith.
Part memoir, part devotional, part homage to all kinds of music, Terrie’s inspiring, open-hearted, authentic story of change and freedom is a powerful reminder of how God can truly transform anyone and everyone-no matter what you’re going through. You’ll be encouraged to open your life to God’s transforming power, trusting as Terrie did, that all things work for our good-and all for His glory.

The Art Of Dying
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Much writing on the subject of death, dying, cancer, and grief is often sugar coated. That is understandable, considering the difficulty experienced by those dealing with it. However, in the process of grieving, it is essential to express, in often raw terms, how excruciating it is. Jere Truer, being both a therapist and a widower, worked through his grief via poetry and honesty, with the hope that these poems will validate others’ reality, give permission to bear down into grief and emerge on the other side of it.

Get Ready For The Good Fight
Price range: $3.99 through $20.99I am sure that you have often heard this expression, “She, he, or they made me do it or made me angry or unhappy.” This is not true. No one can make you do anything that you do not want to do. The decision and choices of action are always yours. You do or say things because of who you are and what is in you. Therefore, you need to educate yourself well in order to make good decisions.
There are only two forces in this world, influencing or guiding in your actions or decisions: one is for good, the other for evil. Our struggle in this life is not primary against our fellow human being but against the forces of evil. When we really understand this and if we follow the instructions or guidelines of the forces of good, we will always be happy and victorious no matter what the challenges may be that we encounter.
