The Healing Touch
$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. He shares how two people can grow in Christ together. Bennett provides the scriptural means for sustaining the relationship and the know-how to resolve issues so the relationship can continue to grow in social, emotional, and spiritual intimacy and in the richness of life skills.
It is essential for all of us to learn how to truly walk with God in intimacy on a daily basis. 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.

The Ice Underneath: My Passage Through Loss and Faith: A Memoir
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99When Wanda Broach-Butts and her husband Ted were asked to take in a foster child-a 14-year-old named Aaron, being held in jail on shoplifting charges-they were ambivalent about saying yes. They had already raised four foster youth and had given back as much as they could. They wanted to enjoy each other in retirement with no distractions, perhaps even live out their dream of relocating to a Caribbean island.
But if they didn’t accept the teenager into their home, the agency said there was a good chance no one would, so Wanda and Ted said yes. They were told little about Aaron’s family history, but that had been the case with every young person they took in. They saw hints of the past in their habits and behaviors-just the tip of the iceberg, without really knowing what lay beneath. Yet this had never been a concern before, and besides, Aaron would be their last foster child.
The Ice Underneath is an unsparing account of Wanda’s passage through an unfathomable tragedy that tested, to the breaking point, her profound Christian faith. With introspective courage, she relentlessly examined and questioned what she thought she believed about herself and found strength in her family’s complex history of loss and redemption. This memoir is a testament not only to our capacity to endure the unimaginable, but to emerge from it with greater resilience and spiritual fortitude than we thought possible.

The Journey: The Dream of a 6th Grader
Price range: $4.99 through $20.99It’s often been said that every person has at least one book inside of them. The main purpose of this book is to express in written form my experiences I had throughout my journey to North America for my children and grandchildren.
But, if this book will have an impact on someone that is going through a similar experience or has been in my shoes and it will help them not to stop or give up, it will definitely accomplish its objective.
My motto for this book was to learn from the past, to live in the present, and focus on the future. My guide: Proverbs 3:5-6; Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all the ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

The Other Wife
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99Janice Bordeaux is an American woman from New Orleans, who lives and works in Chicago. WANDA ARRINGTON AKOREDE Janice and her cousin Melinda share an apartment. They are both young and ready for love and marriage. Janice finds her true love when she meets a Nigerian name Olufemi (Femi) Adegoke, who is completing his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. Janice is employed at the University as an Administrative Assistant. They meet at an Africa party and romance blossoms. They become engaged and get married despite their cultural differences. Olufemi is from an upper class Nigerian family. He has lots of money and takes Janice on an extended honeymoon in Europe. They plan to settle in Nigeria afterwards. It is upon their arrival in Nigeria, that the other side of Femi is revealed. He kept from her the fact that he was already married. You see in their culture, it is legal to have more than one wife. But for Janice, this was culture shock! Devastated and distraught, Janice tries to live in their culture, rather than return home. Her love for Femi is very strong and she hopes that one day he will come to his senses and see that she is all the woman that he needs. But being faced with a very strong and male dominated country and living in a strange and sometimes overwhelming country, she finds it difficult to deal with her husband’s infidelity. She feels cheated. He should have told her about his other wife, and she
would never have married him. Omolola (Lola) is Oulfemi’s Nigerian wife. She waits two long years for him to complete his education and return home to her. She had not bargained on him marrying an American woman and bringing her home. She had planned to have a family and enjoy the fruits of his success upon his return to Nigeria. Instead she was forced to share him with Janice. Omolola knew that her husband has taken another wife before they arrived in Nigeria. It was part of their culture for a man to have more than one wife. Several of her relatives were actively living in polygamy. They tried to live together, each woman sharing their husband equally. But Lola was not satisfied with their arrangement and schemes to have Olufemi to herself. She uses any means at her disposal including juju (witchcraft). While Janice who is innocent in this is losing the battle to maintain her marriage. Consequently, Janice catches Olufemi and Lola in bed together and decides that she had had enough of their culture and polygamy and leaves for America. But she takes with her their unborn child; she is several months pregnant. So the tie is binding. -

The Scars You Don’t See: Overcoming the Legacy of a Dysfunctional Family
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99“Normal” can be a mysterious, unreachable goal to people who grew up in dysfunctional families. The good news is, there’s a solution for adults who struggle in their relationships, their social interactions, and with their concepts of themselves. Negative childhood experiences teach developing personalities to misinterpret others’ motives and behaviors, making them stumble and blame themselves in situations when others wouldn’t. Feeling isolated and “different” becomes cyclical. So if you’ve been waiting to hear “I get you, because I’ve been you,” here’s how to change what your childhood experience taught you. Part memoir and part self-help, The Scars You Don’t See gives readers new understandings and new interpretations of a childhood filled with angst, confusion and embarrassment – and an adulthood of twisted perceptions and tortured social failures. Be cheered: a more enriching life awaits, minus the unhealthy childhood conditioning. Perceived liabilities rooted in the past can be turned into assets. The Scars You Don’t See is a candid, raw and honest, blue-collar first-person perspective, full of effective ideas and daily practices to help identify and overcome the damages adults face after a childhood in a dysfunctional family.
Not a lofty sermon from an onlooker, The Scars You Don’t See traces the path out of a dysfunctional upbringing, so others don’t have to experience what I did. The resonant tale of an escape from painful clenched confusion, The Scars You Don’t See shares validation and accessible practices to a path for self-acceptance and empowerment. It’s not academic or clinical, and it’s not just my story, it’s an alternative to the twisted lessons shared by so many. The solution can be approached through physical, emotional and spiritual practices. This book shares lessons from two decades of treating people with voice disorders, musculoskeletal problems and breathing impairments; restructuring “dysfunctional” into “productive and fulfilling” also requires recognizing the struggle with painful lessons of daily lived reality. I bring you the unique blend of personal perspective, training and experience that allows looking at the world through different lenses. That new vision makes it possible to start living more effectively, steering toward a not-painful “normal.” What this book shares will benefit anyone who spent their developmental years being shaped in a dysfunctional family, and help you move from painful to exceptional.

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.

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.

Her father writes that her passing from this life and going “Home” was one of the most spiritual experiences of his life. If you want an uplifting, “real world” experience that will touch your soul and invite you to thank God for your own life, read Turtletoes, Following the Steps of An Angel. -
