This book offers a critical understanding of the interface between holiness and intercession. The author reflectively narrates some of the selected biblical personalities and how holy living was exemplified in their interceding for others. Critically, the book argues that holiness in its intrinsic nature is about intercession for others. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, holiness is all about intercession, as has been ably demonstrated in this book starting with Abraham, Moses, David, and Solomon and going all the way to Jesus Christ, who sits on the right hand of God interceding for us.

The Place across the River addresses defective systems of culture, politics, religion, and social relationship with poetic discourse reflecting the predicament of the abandoned and rejected whose voices carry little social power. The collection of poems provides an unforgettable portrait of life on the margins, where the working class, Black, Brown, and rejected human beings overlooked by mainstream society weep about shattered dreams and keep hope for a divided society alive.

Ten Minute Scriptural, Earthy Sermons for the Contemporary Scene highlights the continued place of preaching in communicating the life and message of Jesus and the major contribution it makes to quality life. The forty chosen sermons are from various parts of the Bible (but mostly the Gospels) and are designedly brief in discussion. The questions following each sermon set out to encourage serious thought about individual belief and traditional doctrine, and how best to live.

Do you wonder what kind of mischief could happen in the space between a wink and a sniffle? Or of what two trees might contemplate and discuss with each other when they are all by themselves? Have you ever wondered about what power you might wield if you discovered a special rod? Or what it would be like to have your head ""up in the clouds""? Do you know what you would do if you came upon your mirror, and it stood reflectionless? Could you begin to imagine what it would be like to live in complete and total darkness? Do you know how to draw Love? These short stories explore these perennial questions, and whether they provide satisfactory, let alone, any answers to these concerns is left for each reader to determine, if only as part of its grand mystery and adventure. It is a book of sense and nonsense. A book of joy, of light, of laughter, of warmth, of life, of song, of dance, of play, of fun. In other words, and perhaps in far better words, it is none other than a book of nonage; a big, bold, boisterous, batty, beautiful book of sillies, fancies, and trifles.

Penelope Prior, the daughter of Presbyterian missionaries, grew up in an Armenian community in northern Persia. During the Great War, she and her family returned to the US. But as soon as the war ended, a call was issued for volunteers with the languages and experience required to bring life-saving food and medical aid to the vast numbers of war victims and refugees who had fled to the Armenian Caucasus.Hungry, sick, homeless, and desperate, the children needed every kind of help. A new type of humanitarian enterprise was formed to rescue them, on a scale never attempted before. This innovative collaboration of churches, government, agriculture and industry, charities, voluntary organizations, and the media was created by the Near East Relief.Penny and her father respond to the call and soon find themselves in a city of orphans--children left alone or stranded by war and deportation. All of her ability and strength must be summoned to help establish a haven for these young survivors. As they face the struggles together, trauma and loss begin to make way for a bit of recovery and hope.

How will we live, love, and empower? How will we cherish natures and nurture our loves while grappling with feelings of love that make or break us? The fifty-five poems in this collection, Shadows, Memories, and Dreams, speak about soulmates and poetry; they ruminate on love, time, death, God, and of days gone by when things were simpler.
