Navigating the Quartz Forest
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99Each dreamlike lyric in Biman Roy’s Navigating the Quartz Forest is charmingly paired with a small handwritten note hastily jotted down on blue-lined notebook paper-artifacts from his daughter’s life outside the family home. “All through the evening, we keep talking nonessentials, / tiptoeing around secret tulips,” he says. These notes, like scraps of overheard conversations removed from their natural habitats, become the crystalline seeds of new poems. Side-by-side with each other, the poems act as translator for these somewhat oracular messages from an unknown world of teenage gossip and pop culture references, fitting the pieces together like a shattered mirror and filling in the jagged-edged gaps with the poet’s expansive imagination. In Navigating the Quartz Forest, Roy’s whimsical poems become a sparkling tribute from a father to his beloved daughter.

The Wrong Side of Eternity: A Present-Day Passion
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99In Uganda, Charity Ntambara and her uncle Geoffrey suffer indescribable horrors during the regime of Idi Amin, while half a world away, self-assured Irish-Mexican Stephen O’Connell escapes a small-town, checkered past to pursue education near San Francisco. There, fresh ideas-and people as diverse as brilliant anti-feminist Madeleine, the musical genius Bryce, and very earthy Julie Burns-pull his soul in opposing directions. ‘By chance’ he prevents the murder of a Ugandan refugee, catapulting him irrevocably into a world of need and danger.
Black-and-white thinking proves no help to Stephen upon encountering the blood-red reality of violence in East Africa some years later. He finds that he too has the capacity to harm others. When a case of mistaken identity nearly destroys his family, he must start afresh in a ‘civilized’ place where safety remains elusive. Friends and colleagues, as different as the four elements, all labor to make the world a better place. But in the end, who will succeed?
The Wrong Side of Eternity offers a deeply personal view of how people with very different perspectives respond to and deal with suffering. Comparable to The Poisonwood Bible and Th e Constant Gardener, Mary Mendenhall’s sweeping passion narrative depicts grim reality without giving in to hopelessness and despair.

Michael and the Ice Princess: A Mystical Romance
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99A lyrical novel with a fairy-tale plot, this fresh presentation of the enduring quest story is a fascinating literary introduction to Western mystical thought. “Drawing on rich and eclectic sources, Mary Mendenhall has produced a memorable tapestry of great power and beauty,” a London reviewer wrote about the first edition.
An unpaid debt. A cursed king. The chilling reminder, “There is a power greater than yours,” when his wife dies in childbirth, his daughter is lost, and his kingdom crumbles.
Sensing that all is not right, the forgotten princess embarks on a journey of self-discovery alone, misunderstood and confused, wandering in search of home… So begins the story of Michael, a medieval craftsman craving fulfillment who stumbles across a cold and aloof stranger. But the Ice Princess is not like the fairy-tale figures of the Snow Queen, North Wind, or the White Witch: she is a flesh-and-blood woman with a quest of her own.
Reminiscent of the storytelling styles of Elizabeth Goudge and George MacDonald, Michael and the Ice Princess: A Mystical Romance offers an ideal ‘bedtime story’ in the old oral tradition. Suitable for older youth and anyone who craves spirituality linked with old-fashioned romance, this classic novella is an enchanting journey through the world of sages of long ago who still have something to say to modern souls.

These poems live in the individual body, even as they describe an external and collective experience.

Jews, Gentiles and the Church Age: The Jew and Christian Theology
Price range: $3.99 through $20.99One of the great tragedies of our time is the lack of understanding on the part of many Christian leaders regarding the roots of the Christian faith and how this affects one’s understanding of theology. Because of this lack of understanding the church has fallen into many heresies down through the centuries. Among other things, it has affected how we view our responsibilities for world c. This book has been written to help the reader understand the roots of our faith in Old Testament Judaism and the effect that understanding has on Christian theology. KENNETH G. SYMES, B.A., S.T.M. was a pastor in Baltimore, MD for almost twenty years before God called him into Jewish ministries in 1977. While in Baltimore he cut his teeth in Evangelism preaching on the streets of East Baltimore. For the past thirty years, while himself effectively reaching people with the Gospel, Ken has worked with local churches to enable them to effectively reach out with the gospel to both Jew and Gentile. This book is the product of his deep love for Jewish people and his commitment to the belief that God ordained only one institution to evangelize His world, the Local Church. After serving almost eleven years as the Executive Director of Jewish Awareness Ministries, Inc., Ken is now the National Field Representative for J.A.M. Inc living in Zephyrhills, FL with his wife Joyce.

Heaven!… Boring?

For those who worry that floating on clouds and playing harps sounds incredibly dull, this book offers a unique, engaging, and compelling perspective on heaven. Heaven!

Explore how our present sensory experiences both reveal and conceal the eternal. Most importantly, Thomas offers reflections on how the gospel promise of eternal life is indeed good news! The promise of eternal life is not a sentimental notion or wishful thinking; it is serious business. This book is for everyone who has ever asked, Will I get bored in Heaven?

The Blessed Hope
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99How one views eschatology, the doctrine of end time events, determines, to a large extent, the rest of one’s theology. Early in my ministry I determined to know the truth of God’s Word. I further determined that the Bible is verbally inerrant. Thus there are no contradictions in it. I came to understand that a true study of God’s Word entailed comparing scripture with scripture. Using that understanding I came to the conclusion that we can know God’s mind with assurance (II Peter 1:19-20). With so much confusion on the matter of the Rapture I decided to search for the truth in this matter. This small book is the result of that long and extended search which I have essentially boiled down to the conclusions. As a right understanding of this issue is important to how we view the rest of doctrine and to the quality of our Christian experience, this book is offered to help and bless the reader in his faith and walk.

Reflections of Humanity: A Tapestry of Perceptions
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99This collection will take on different meanings at different points in time. Many of the key themes have multiple messages. This is also the case in many interpretations of the vocabulary. Everyone has an individual perception of what truth is. These works are representative of this writer’s understanding of that entity.
It is my hope that this collection will inspire the realization within each reader that the true wisdom in life is one’s ability to believe in oneself. Thus, will it become possible to accept responsibility for our own actions? Once this end is accomplished, we can, each in his own right, make beneficial changes. Many have had this same dream since the dawn of time. It is this writer’s most ardent hope that this work will find acceptance within the heart of each reader. A further hope is that these perceptions will serve as an inspiration to each to establish a positive sense of self and a more cohesive view of the people around you.
Try to set gender aside in these works. Wherever possible, substitute people and situations within your own life and the lives of the loved ones around you.
