As seen on The Today Show When she was fifteen years old, Leslie King ran away from an abusive home, looking for a better life and longing for real love. What she found instead was a man who wooed her just long enough to trap her in a life of prostitution. She became one of the many thousands of trafficked individuals in the United States, a number that continues to rise--in the biggest cities and in the most idyllic towns. As is true for so many in similar situations, life was nothing but brokenness and pain for Leslie. After years of hopelessness, she finally decided to take her own life. And then God spoke. With his promise that he was with her and had mighty things for her to accomplish ringing in her ears, she got off the streets, got clean, and got to work on the mission to which he'd called her. Now Leslie is a passionate and heroic advocate for other trafficked women and teenage girls in her community and across the country. More than a gritty, no-holds-barred deliverance story, When Angels Fight includes powerful advice from Leslie and those she's encountered in her work--police officers, judges, and other advocates and activists. She also shows you what YOU can do to make a real difference in your own community. Her call from God includes marshaling others to the cause and equipping them to fight alongside her and the angels who battle for God's children--just as they once fought for her.

Do you ever forget to remember what's true? Sometimes remembering is hard to do! But in this lyrical tale, Ellie Holcomb celebrates creation’s reminders of God’s love, which surrounds us from sunrise to sunset, even on our most forgetful of days.

God's Rainbow Promise is a book that looks at the issue of human sexuality through the lens of the three-legged stool that the Anglican Church has used for centuries. The legs of the stool are represented by the areas of scripture, tradition, and reason. This book is meant to provide a start for a group to begin a conversation with each other. It emphasizes that God made the promise of the Rainbow to all Noah's descendants. This is one of the reasons that the symbol of the rainbow became a symbol for the homosexual community to recognize safe places. Please make the place you meet to discuss this book with others a safe place for all. My prayer for those who read God's Rainbow Promise is that they will come away with an appreciation for the opinion of the other, and that we are all God's children, and that there is strength in diversity. Above all, I pray that we live into the summation of God's law found in Matthew chapter 22, by loving God with all of our heart, with all of our mind, and all of our soul, and loving our neighbor as ourselves.

Rest in the Rainbow is more than a book—it’s a wake-up call, intended to give you meaningful instruction on how to step into your true identity so that you can strengthen your relationship with God and pursue His calling for your life. As children of God and ambassadors for His Kingdom, our mission is to build up the body of believers and point others in the direction of Christ. There is work that God must do in your heart in order to align it with His before He can work through you. When you read the stories in the Bible, there’s a common theme: God used the most unqualified people to carry out His assignments and work some of His greatest miracles. This is the same God Who still lives today, and He desires to do incredible things in your life and in the lives of others. Through practical advice and exploring dozens of God’s promises, Stephanie shows how God wants us to fully understand our identity in Him, and how to be fully equipped to walk in the authority of our God-given purpose. She reveals the value of godly discipline and discernment in order to give us the right perspective, as well as the necessary steps we must take in order to fulfill our calling. Take heart in His promises—they’ve never been broken.
