Beyond Mind: The Adventures of a Soul in the Midst of a Spiritual Awakening
Price range: $3.99 through $18.99This is the earliest Beyond Imagination expression captured starting in March 1993. I was indeed going Beyond Mind, experiencing something that no metaphysical training had come close to preparing me for. My mind literally went beyond itself and became something far more … never to return to its former limits. The extensive comments from recursions 12 and 22 years later illustrated this was an evolving process, providing wonderful additional insights from fresh perspectives that enriched and deepened the original book. ENJOY!

The Search for Center
Price range: $3.99 through $20.99The Search for Center documents a search engaged at many levels of being concurrently. It started as a modest newsletter, growing month by month into a formidable production, primarily showcasing the work of one consciousness in all its frailty and all its glory, as it encountered and unveiled the unknown step by step following a process that spirit herself directed and orchestrated. In all, 9 newsletters were created, the 8th of which exceeded 75 pages. Never were more than a few dozen people engaged, and these fairly loosely with the exception of Dawn Kalin, whom Wayne actually met in person once in Redondo Beach. The newsletter explored a variety of metaphysical topics in sections that evolved from month to month. The project for finding a center concluded in July of 1996 … at the time believed to be a failure in Wayne’s experience but clearly not for spirit. This was a prototype of what could be done using the latest technical capabilities to enhance spiritual expression.

Angels at work – For Youth
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99“Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,” (Revelation 5:11 NKJV).
Angels were created by our Father God before the creation of the earth, before the Garden of Eden, and before humans. Angels actually witnessed all of creation and they were overjoyed to see it unfold (Job 38). These beautiful, intelligent, glorious and mighty angels are worthy of study.
Angels have had serious roles in Old Testament history including guarding the Garden of Eden, mediating the Laws of Moses, leading the Israelites out of Egypt, and bringing food to God’s servants. Angels conveyed messages to people throughout the Bible, announced the birth of Jesus, released the apostles from prison, strengthened those who were weary, and ministered to Jesus before the cross.
Many do not realize that in modern times Angels continue to work for mankind. These secret agents have different roles to carry out God’s purposes. Angels may be messengers, warriors, guardians, or ministering spirits. There are angels solely created to worship God and there are angels who are charged with protecting God’s most precious creation and helping us attain our destiny.
My goal is to get young people and adults to ask God to send angels when help is needed here on earth and to pray for Psalm 91 angel protection.

Angels at work: Elementary Version
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99“Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,” (Revelation 5:11 NKJV).
Angels were created by our Father God before he created the earth, animals, or people. In the Bible, it says angels watched God creating everything and shouted with joy (Job 38). These beautiful, intelligent, glorious, mighty angels had important responsibilities in Old and New Testament history.
Angels work for God, but angels also work for mankind. These secrets agents have many jobs. In this book, you will read about warrior angels, messenger angels, guardians, ministering spirits, and worshipping celestial beings. Even with all the work angels do, an angel’s most important job is worshipping God. That is why good angels never want humans to bow down or worship them; the angels understand that only God should be worshipped.
While we do not usually see the supernatural, it is real. Studying the scriptures helps believers understand more about angels and see them in the proper light. My goal is to get children, teens, young people, and adults to understand that they can ask God to send angels. Here on earth, whenever we need it, we can ask for (Psalm 91) angelic protection over ourselves, our homes, and our family.

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!

This is My Song, This is My Story: I’m Not Who I Used To Be
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.

Covering All The Grounds: From Birth to Maturity in God
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Quote from Blair Townley, Xulon Press This nonfiction book educates readers in what it means to “grow” in Jesus and fulfill the purpose bestowed to each person by a loving God. The main concept of the book is that salvation does not conclude a Christian’s purpose on earth, but revitalizes it in helping those lost in the world find God. The book’s content is organized and very linear in its approach, as it explains thetopic more thoroughly through the chapters and uses realistic examples to connect readers’ experiences to the truths of the Bible. The author’s tone is very even and helpful towards readers, keeping the book’s dialogue informative but light-hearted that will encourage readers in seeing the eternal merits of a relationship with God through Jesus.

The Coming: Hunted
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Then, as thoughts of the past cleared, I remembered the same voice that I had heard and trusted since that night on the side of the road as Joe said again,
“Red, you’ve been with me the longest and seem lost in thought; please speak your mind.”
“Well, Joe, Mary, we are it. We aren’t playing games here. This is the real ‘Game of Life.’ Our choices really can mean life or death for Hope and Christian. You, Mary, and I are as deep into this as possible. We all know this and accept the burden. Alice’s letter is the tip of the iceberg to our knowing something, anything, about what we are up against. Let’s see how deep into this game of life we are.”
Mary and I looked at Joe and then at each other as tears flowed down all three of our faces, and if I remember right, I said.
“Damnit, Joe, why did you pick me up that night? That’s right, I know I was probably, no not, I would have died of freezing to death. But Joe, this is so much bigger than we ever thought. And again, I ask anyone who has a clue: “Why, out of all the people in this world, to pick to protect Saviors, God picked us.”
The Coming – Hunted . . . God and Man, versus the Devil and his minions.

Soul Baptism
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99In this day of global divisiveness can it be possible, for the sake of the Gospel, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to be united enough to enjoy true and meaningful inter-denominational fellowship, and carry out His Great Commission, without compromising the established truths of His Word? Christianity’s “Big Three” seemingly unbridgeable doctrinal chasms addressed in SOUL BAPTISM are; ‘Sovereignty -vs- Free Will,’ ‘Eternal Security -vs- Falling from Grace,’ and ‘Cessationism -vs- Continuationism.’ Is it even realistic that these deeply held opposing views could be reconciled from the very same Word of God we all hold so dear as the sole basis for our Faith? Author Lucian Gandolfo emphatically says, “Yes”! SOUL BAPTISM unveils a Key for helping to achieve the unity that the Lord has commanded for His Church, in what he calls “divine triangulation.” SOUL BAPTISM offers an enlightening and refreshing perspective from Scripture that is a must-read for every Bible-believing Christian, student, teacher, minister, and even theologian.

Driven By The Spirit
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99When we think of ourselves as children of God, we tend to imagine ourselves as small children, dependent and trusting. A better analogy would be to think of ourselves as adolescents. Anyone who has raised a child to adulthood can understand the dilemma of wanting our children to become independent, successful members of society, but realizing as they make their way in the world they will make mistakes. They will get hurt. God did not create us as robots programmed for total obedience. He knows that we will make poor choices as we grow. We will face trials and we will, at times, question His love for us. Just as the parent of an adolescent, God wants us to come to Him for advice, consolation and love. He wants us to remember all He has taught us, all He has done for us, and how much He loves us. He wants our love and devotion in spite of the hardships we face or successes we achieve. When I think about those who don’t believe they need God in their lives, it brings to mind the lonely widow who sits in her home day after day, hoping for the moment when her child will call or come to see her. Some never will. How sad is that!
