Synopsis Love Falls On Us by : Robbie Corey-Boulet

In 2009 Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill became a top global news story. Two years later Hillary Clinton declared “Gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights,” but still today there is little consensus on how to advance those rights beyond the U.S. and Europe. The fact is that international LGBT activism and allies have created winners and losers. In Africa those who easily identify with the identities of the global movement find support, funding and care. Those whose sexualities don’t align so neatly don’t. In this faithful and moving investigation, award winning journalist Robbie Corey-Boulet shows that LGBT liberation does not look the same in Africa as it does in the United States or Europe. At a time when there is a groundswell of interest in LGBT life in Africa and attempts at reversing LGBT rights across much of the ‘developed’ world Corey-Boulet lays bare past failures. To the extent that there exists a right way to engage on LGBT issues in Africa—and, indeed, worldwide—Love Falls on Us is for those looking to learn what it is.

The past is always mysterious. It neither leaves completely, nor stays fully. Who would know it better than Ayaan. He was its victim. And so was Avani.

And Avani… well, her life was going to take such sharp turns that she would crave for death. Alas, this was just the beginning of what destiny had planned for them! Will Avani wait for the scars to heal or will she fight with her bruised soul? Why does the truth keep going deeper as she chases it? Deeply sensitive and brutally thrilling, Till The End Of Forever is a romantic thriller that takes a dig in the dark sides of god, nature of human pain, power of selfless care, and proves how true love can make you live till the end of forever.

Synopsis The Greatest of These by : John Indermark

God is love. Love one another. We teach these to children and new Christians, but what exactly do we mean (and do they hear) by love? Our culture offers a multitude of understandings and experiences through which the meaning of love can be filtered. We in the church can become sloppy in our proclamation and embodiment of love as a result of those filterings, unless we remain grounded in the Biblical moorings of love revealed in the narratives of both the Old and New Testaments.The Greatest of These offers an extended exploration of love 's qualities in scripture. Each of the six chapters begins with a single page introduction to the chapter theme. The bulk of each chapter consists of six individual readings (2.5 to 3 pages each) that reflect on a Biblical passage related to the chapter 's theme on love. The book is written for use by individuals or groups, and a leader's guide, which is written into the book, provides for six suggested sessions. Chapter One - Love as Gift Chapter Two - Love as Invitation Chapter Three - Love as Loyalty Chapter Four - Love as Ethic Chapter Five - Love as Compassion Chapter Six - Love as Wonder The written-in leader 's guide provides a basic template that can be used for each session along with specific suggestions for six sessions to plug into the template in order to explore each of the book 's chapters.

Synopsis When You're a Christian...The Whole World Is From Missouri - with Leaders Guide by : Rev. James W. Moore

James W. Moore says that just as Missouri is the "Show Me" state, this is a "show me" world, where talking a good game is not enough. Essentially, the world says to us, "If you're a Christian, then show me!" Moore contends that we, as Christians, must show the world that our faith is not only a way of believing but also a way of behaving - that it is not just something we celebrate on Sunday, but something we live out in the world every day. In his warm, conversational style Moore explores characteristics that must be visible in our daily lives if we are to be effective witnesses in this "show me" world - forgiveness, dedication, gratitude, love, compassion, a spirit of service, perseverance, strength, faith and vision. Only when these are evident in our lives will the world know that we are Christians.

Synopsis BIBLICAL NUGGETS by : Kirk Morton

BIBLICAL NUGGETS - Daily Devotions for Everyday Life is a book of yearlong devotions, and it was written with you in mind. Today, many are challenged by the plethora of circumstances which life presents and biblical nuggets will help you to address and cope with those circumstances by putting God's word as a daily portion (a nugget) first in your everyday life. This book will assist you in helping you to put God's word first and help you to address those daily challenges which arise every day in your life. I would hope that BIBLICAL NUGGETS has inspired you to want to read God's word on a daily basis and I hope and pray that as a result of these readings you would share this work with your family members, church members, co-workers and friends. I also pray that BIBLICAL NUGGETS would become a part of your daily devotional life as well.
