Have You Seen My Daddy?
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Who is your daddy? If Pastor John R. Peyton was asked this question when he was a boy, he might be ashamed to admit who his daddy was, having grown up in an abusive household with an alcoholic, womanizing father.
However, now as a faithful servant of God and pastor of a loving church, he can now say his true daddy is that of his heavenly Father God.
His new book, Have You Seen My Daddy?, is Pastor John’s detailed life story, beginning with his birth and childhood in Virginia to a strong Christian mother and an abusive, lost father. As he grew up, he witnessed hypocrisy in his home church and racism from other churches, wondering if this Jesus that was spoken of was really someone to be praised and worshipped.
He was soon drafted into the army and traveled to Central America and, all while struggling with his hatred toward white people that intensified through his involvement with the Black Panther Party. It wasn’t until the most unlikely of people witnessed to him of God’s love and Jesus’s sacrifice that Pastor John’s life turned around and because of this he was sent to Vietnam.
As Pastor John moved forward with his life, becoming a husband and father to three daughters, he began to feel God leading him down certain paths where his testimony of God taking away the hate and bringing him peace was impacting people’s lives.
Pastor John, as an agent of reconciliation for God, has been the vessel to change the lives of many, from lost lives in prison ministry to the well-to-do and various races and statuses. The hope is that readers will understand through his life story the need for God in our lives and that change for the better can only happen through Jesus.
Have you seen your Daddy? Because He’s looking for you!

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.
