$13.99Many couples wish for the type of marriage Adam and Eve had, but their chances of achieving that relationship are minimized when they don’t have the necessary tools to get there.
Dave Bennett’s The Healing Touch not only promises a paradisiacal marriage, such as Adam and Eve had in the beginning, but also provides the tools to get there.

The Healing Touch shows it is this ongoing intimacy that enables us to relate to our spouses with the unconditional love of agape and an uncommon commitment all of us need. Loving each other becomes fun, spiritual, and emotionally and physically intimate. It never gets old.

Caregiving: My Story, Your Guide
Price range: $3.99 through $12.95This book is about the author’s personal experience as a caregiver, how he became one, everything he learned along the way and what a wonderful life two people can have together regardless of the situation.
The author wants to share what he learned; information from doctors, insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, disability claims and a number of other important issues including positive thinking and a happy life. His real life experiences have been “battle” tested in the totality of caregiving.
The information he shares relates to all caregivers and many situations; from diseases, accidental disability and war wounded veterans. He further describes how one caregiver, over a period of 24 years, was able to maneuver across the “battlefield,” still survive and not succumb to battle fatigue.
Someone else’s knowledge about something negative can make things more positive for you…and that is an important part of what this book is about.
Many books out there are a wonderful collection of data compiled from the internet and government sources and provide answers to many issues. This book covers the “must do” items which are based on his experiences that can be used as a reference guide and adapted to your individualized situation. Every patient is different and in order to earn the “Caregiver of the year” award, you must find what works best for them.
The most important issue is to realize that a severely disabled person needs to be treated with respect and dignity. Unfortunately, too many handicapped patients are disposed of like a useless piece of furniture or parked out of sight at some poorly run institution. What would you want to happen to you, should you ever be disabled as a result of an accident or disease?
REMEMBER – it can happen to anyone – anytime, including YOU!

The Spare: Part 2
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Our marriage was given about two weeks to two months to survive. We stood two chances of making it work out-slim and none. But through commitment and stubbornness, we hung in there. The name sumpter is in the dictionary and says “a packhorse,” which I relate to a mule, telling Bill he was stubborn as mule. This book tells a little of the years we live in Rapid City and how we grew. I’m sure there are others that have endured more turmoil and grief, but this is my tale of those formative years of marriage.

The Spare: Part 1
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99I was born and raised on a working ranch twenty-eight miles north of Philip, South Dakota. As a young person, we worked hard and played hard, and events that occurred caused considerable pain to me both mentally and physically. My choices were not the best, and at seventeen, I was much on my own. The saying “I was the only hell my mother ever raised” was probably very accurate. I write this to tell what it was like growing up and to let others know their choices are important to their future.

Illhenaylh

The book is about gluten free cooking and offers a view of one family’s journey to be healthier and tasty approach to eating as well.
The recipes offered are the best from our trial and errors and adjustments of old family recipes and creations we have as a family created. I share the experiences and stories to bring a new perspective to people. I hope you enjoy trying these recipes!
My own health forced me to look at food and providing for my family in a better way and teaching my children to eat better so they could develop good habits about food.
I view food in my own culture from a unique perspective and hope to share that view with my readers. For the first nation people we have long held food as part of ceremony as well as for food. It is an integral part of our culture and spiritual ceremonies.
My vision is to help people understand that Gluten free cooking can be easy, fun and delicious.

Just Deliver The Message
Price range: $12.99 through $19.99Paul was just an everyday, unassuming, ordinary man chosen to deliver life-changing messages to strangers. Could he have been mistaken for someone else and chosen incorrectly? Who was he to be given such a task? He was just barely a believer himself, with his own persona demons to battle.
Thousands of believers discarded their personal belongings and assembled in an open field in Kentucky. By their faith alone, some followed a man unknown to them across America’s heartland to find their destiny.
Dark forces, determined to undermine the ultimate plan, battled the faithful at every turn. Spiritual warfare was something not to be played with, and it was hard to accept by even the most self-acclaimed believers. Minions of the darkness assured them of their reality.
Would church leaders withstand the test of Paul’s message or risk losing their salvation? Did Paul’s messages save lives or result in eternal damnation?

Recovery Happens Through Christ (My Story of Abuse, Alcoholism, and Adultery)
$17.99Recovery Happens through Christ is taken from the journals of Marilynne Harrison, an otherwise regular person who found herself sexually abused as a child and exposed to a world of sin in such a way as to bring tears to one’s eyes. By the time she was eleven, Marilynne was exposed to drugs, alcohol, and sex; and worst of all, was told to keep her situation to herself. The results of being robbed of her childhood led Marilynne to continue to live her life in the only way she knew, by continuing in the same sins.
Finally, many years later, Marilynne makes a dramatic turn to God. He lifts her out of her pit in a truly impossible way. This book covers seventeen painful and then triumphant years in Marilynne’ s life. She shares her tremendous struggles with sin, painful choices leading to more wrongdoing, and finally, a real call from our ultimate Savior, Jesus Christ. Celebrate her recovery and find hope for your own recovery, or that of your loved ones.
Are you struggling with drugs, alcohol, and wrong sexual relationships? Are you trapped in a sex addiction and can’t find your way out? Do you long to understand the relationship between the Christian and homosexuality? Is there real hope for gay and lesbian recovery? Do you feel as if there is no possibility for addiction recovery or abuse recovery? Before you lose all hope, find some quiet reading time and read the story of a lady with all the same reoccurring temptations and failures. With all her miserable existence, she provides hope to those who know exactly what she is talking about when she discusses her deplorable and self-destructive lifestyle. Do not give another moment of your life to yourself and Satan. Instead, allow yourself to be guided by the Holy Spirit to the One who also understands your temptations and is able to finally give you relief. Jesus Christ died for you, just as much as He did for Marilynne and the whole world. Just as He rescued Marilynne and gave her new life, He can surely do the same for you too.
We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard … People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood (Romans 3:22-25)

Return to Vietnam, The Memories: Facing my Demons and Coming to Terms With Them
Price range: $10.99 through $17.99When I was waiting to board the aircraft in Saigon in July 1968, following my 13-month tour of Vietnam, the last thing I would have expected was to come back to Vietnam. Not until forty-five years after the Vietnam War ended, I was dealing with nightmares, and was diagnosed with PTSD. I was encouraged by my counselor and others to write about my experiences from Vietnam. That resulted in my first book, You Are Never Alone. I started to have a better handle on my daily images, nightly dreams, and nightmares. It was about that time I began thinking about the possibility of returning to Vietnam to face my demons.
This book, “Return to Vietnam-The Memories,” Began a trip to face my demons. It was more than I expected, by meeting a VC soldier during peacetime and making friends with several gracious Vietnamese people. A cruise down the Mekong River brought memories of crossing the river during convoys. My main goal of the trip was to find the orphanage in MyTho where during a VC attack a couple of kids were killed. Having a knowledgeable tour guide that followed many leads to locate our objective worked endlessly. We saw where the orphanage was, which now was replaced with a school, but finding the last of the living nuns that worked at the orphanage in 1967 when the VC attacked and interacting with someone who was virtually there and remembered that day was overwhelming. Sister Renee and I visited parts for three days. This book covers the details of this fantastic trip and the results it had on me.

Choices: Like waves going to distant shores, will we ever really understand the consequences of our choices?
$9.99We all make choices in our lives. Sometimes, the freedom to pick between many different options can feel more like bondage than freedom. Sometimes, our freedom of choice is a prison. Literally, yet, God can take any choice we make and turn it into His glory and victory.
Author Sylvia Ramos-Paneque’s CHOICES: A Bail Bondswoman’s Reflections is the harrowing, autobiographical account of the many life choices she made that led her to serve jail time in a Mexican prison for smuggling drugs in the early 1980s. Within this compelling memoir, Ramos-Paneque guides readers through her early days of growing up in “Rat City,” a.k.a. White Center, a suburb of Seattle, through adulthood, and her growing faith journey along the way. Readers learn about the tough choices made in the author’s life, from becoming a ninth-grade school drop-out to getting married at the age of sixteen and ultimately drifting into her role as a drug smuggler, running cocaine from South America.
This riveting story showcases how God was with the author through all of her choices, and, in His powerful economy, everything can be used. After years of making “wrong” decisions, God’s choice to provide the author with employment as a bail bondswoman for over the following twenty years turned her choices into God’s decision to help countless others in similar situations. With God’s help, our darkest and most painful experiences become His greatest assets in helping others.
