Freedom, A Call To Healing
Price range: $4.99 through $13.99In the history of America, other human beings seem to get the empathy to mourn and build memorials after a trauma occurs in their lives-except the black race. We had a trauma in the Western Hemisphere that lasted over four hundred years. Yet, after slavery and segregation, our people were expected to pick up the pieces of life and move on. We were expected to live in self-denial as if the scars we were carrying never happened. The statistics are heartbreaking. One in three black males can expect to spend time in prison. One in one hundred black women are in prison. The high school graduation rate for black males is under fifty percent. Fifty-four percent of black children are raised by single mothers. These tragedies have not occurred by chance. Thus, Jason Panton points out that the most important component is hope. This hope is the hope of redemption offered by a loving and merciful God. He is not a God who visits with us for a few hours on Sunday morning, nor a God to be called upon only in times of distress. He is a God who eagerly awaits a personal and constant relationship with every individual. The Bible is clear that Jesus Christ has a tender heart for the oppressed, the despised, the broken hearted, the hopeless, and the outcast, and His heart is unchangeable. “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even unto the sure mercies of David” (Is 55:3).

It should be of interest to anyone who is involved in care giving especially those who are just beginning.

The City Dog And The Country Dog
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99“In the beginning, God created…” That is how it all began. In his infinite wisdom, God created animals before humans. Why? Could it be that he needed the animals to explain creation to us? Or rather to explain the Creator to us? Could it be that God knew that our intellects would try too hard to understand something that is very simple? In The City Dog and the Country Dog, the man learns that what all of creation is yearning for freedom–freedom to enjoy his Creator and all the benefits of creation. There is just one big problem: we are held captive by our cruel masters. They keep us bound up, and they lie to us about who we are and what God thinks of us.
Boone is an Australian Blue Heeler whose owner is a cruel master. He is always trying to escape to get his needs met. After being taken by animal services for neglect and abuse, Boone is adopted by a good master. His new master must endure the bad habits and behaviors of Bonne learned under the cruet master, even being badly bit. When his training is complete, Boone is a new dog and readily submits to his master. He never leaves his master’s side. By watching Boone’s transformation, his master learns God’s plan for him and all of creation– to be set free to experience the love of their Creator, to return that love, and to receive their inheritance.
