The Greatest Semester Ever: A Memoir of Studying Abroad
$11.99An old college journal found by accident led to an inspiration 34 years later. I had always told oral stories about my travels and encounters at parties and pubs to positive responses, and reactions. After a while, I thought I might actually have a book to write here?!
It’s like a “Let’s Go Europe” travel book for those who venture to go beyond their own comfort zones. Traveling isn’t just getting into long, endless lines at the airport during the holidays. Rail is the way to go if you want to see the actual country and not from 30,000 feet. That is, of course, if you don’t have thousands of miles to cover like one doesn’t have in Western Europe. In the Spring of 1989, the Iron Curtain was still standing, and the Soviet Empire still reigned over Eastern Europe. Therefore, we were limited on where we could go, however we did manage to go behind the Iron Curtain at one point and view the former Communist World.
It explores the trials and tribulations of college students going way out of their normal surroundings, not only just to continue their college educations, but also to learn a “metric butt-load” about the world and themselves most importantly. If you want to do something amazing, see something amazing, or even achieve your wildest dreams, you’re going to have to go beyond the horizon and venture into the unknown. While the pomp in that sounds glorious, fluffy, and boisterous, the reality is that it’s true. You’ll never see the world by staying in “Mayberry”.

Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God lets the reader into the private and intimate areas of the author’s heart and mind. Many writers, pastors, or spiritual leaders encourage others to let God into their lives by telling Bible stories, giving snippets of generalized accounts about their own or others’ experiences, and by sharing philosophical viewpoints. Although not a “how-to” book, Living Loved details one person’s coming to live in close, personal friendship with God. Author Laurice Shafer writes for the person who has wondered about someone else’s spiritual life, hoping to find encouragement for their own experience of God. She tells of God’s efforts to bring her into friendship with Him, describing it as it was…defects of character are acknowledged, God’s specific interventions described heart to heart communication between a woman and her God detailed, and healing and growth in human relationships explored. The hope that comes with experiencing God and His power to restore resounds in this book.

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.

The Greatest Human Deception
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99The Greatest Human Deception is certainly one of the most explosive thought-provoking books of immense proportions and dimensions. Certainly, a “Christian Classic” and a must-read book beneficial to all. Using indisputable scientific facts, the author diagnoses the reasons for world problems of health, hatred with wars, and provides the “magic” prescription to cure all individuals and world problems. Argues forcibly that the present educational system of the world is flawed because it is in the “wrong direction,” and advocates a “turn around” to the “right type of education.” And inspiration to believers, an eye-opener to unbelievers, a challenge to atheists, agnostics, and the uncommitted. In the Greatest Human Deception, the existence of God is not an exercise of “Quod Erat Faciendum” but a magnificent and colossal statement of “Quod Erat Demonstratum” (that which has been proven or demonstrated). A grand philosophical edifice, cemented with scientific facts.

The Divine Way to Help Christians in Troubled Times
Price range: $3.00 through $11.99This book is meant to serve as both a teaching resource and a valuable reference for anybody interested in learning about biblical counselling for spiritual guidance. However, it clearly presents a category of secular counselling approaches with a caveat. This book’s theological approach blends methodical field research and personal reflection on biblical counselling. This work does not profess to have all the answers or to have reconstructed biblical counselling, but God’s servants can use its contents to inspire individuals to read the Bible, to meet God, and to pursue a clear path toward certain changes. Troubled individuals who turn to God receive help through the ministry of his servant as a spiritual advisor.
This instrument of God also serves as the Coordinator for the province of Quebec for the Global Christian Ministry Forum, a network of Christian leaders, ministries, and churches that share their gifts, callings, and resources for the benefit of the fellowship.

Still Standing : A Personal Journey to Find the Heart of God and to Restore Mine
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Growing up in a prairie farm family, with a very close-knit church community, Paull Vollmin is raised to believe that a Christian should be different. But somehow, even though the Bible tells him that he has changed when he’s accepted by Jesus as his savior, he doesn’t feel changed. And as Paul enters a rebellious stage, he starts to indulge his own personal failures, losing touch with his faith and living a lie after lie. One day, as a young husband and father, he just can’t sustain it any longer and finds himself hospitalized for severe depression and considering suicide as a viable way out. Still Standing is Paul’s personal story of coming to terms with the past and present in light of a faith in Jesus Christ. Be forewarned, his journey is no idealized picture of what a Christian should look like, but a discovery of how a real life, warts and all, can be transformed by a real God. In frank and frequently very funny fashion, Still Standing provides full disclosure in its chronicle of God reaching into the darkest corners of a man’s being, to bring light and healing to a life of faith gone wrong.
