While "GraceThrough" is a term I've coined as a result of the abundant grace I've received in life, it also speaks to the grace I've been able to give. I trust that something I shared within this book has made it meaningful for you, too. Life will inevitably bring its share of trials and battles, but what truly matters is how you navigate through them. What are you bringing with you as you breakthrough - don't you dare come through with nothing. Don't merely let life pass you by! Despite being perceived as a "good girl" by some, I've found myself in some bad circumstances. Nevertheless, I've resolved to carry with me the lessons and blessings from each situation, no matter how trying it may be. Within the pages of this book, I've shared experiences that left me speechless, but by the conclusion of the final chapter, my voice had been restored. My hope is to inspire you, to strike a chord with you, and above all, to draw you closer to God, who provides the grace for you to overcome life's challenges graciously.

In this inspirational story based on true events, Brandon, an ex-convict, takes you on a journey from his childhood dreams of being an NBA star to his choice as a teenager to be the ultimate hustler in the North Carolina streets of Chapel Town. After the unfortunate split of his parents, the allure of the drug game sets in. Determined to be able to provide for his family, Brandon quickly rises in the ranks of the drug game to selling kilos of cocaine at a very young age, all while trying to make his exit from a street hustler to a legit entrepreneur. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. After years of dodging life-ending experiences, corrupt cops, and phony friends, Brandon decides to pursue college for a career in business, but not before his life spirals out of control when he is indicted by the federal government and convicted for a non-violent federal drug conspiracy and sentenced to 188 months in federal prison. After becoming the victim of unfair and unequal punishment due to the federal government's racially biased "100/1 crack versus powder cocaine sentencing disparity," Brandon realizes that the path he had chosen was full of unknown dangers. Still, it wasn't too late to make the right turn. However, his only revenge would be success. After almost 12 years in federal prison, Brandon shares the wisdom and knowledge obtained while incarcerated that led to his immediate release from prison four years early and turned him into a motivated and successful entrepreneur upon his release. After many mistakes, failures, trials, and tribulations, Brandon escapes the allure of the drug game and street life. Through his story, based on actual events, he hopes to deter the next teenager from being another statistic in the legal system. He also gives incarcerated individuals a blueprint for properly preparing themselves for a smooth transition back to society.

Youth Ministry is indeed essential and cutting-edge Youth Leaders are necessary. Aside from the annual roller-coaster of activities, it is important that solid relationships amongst Youth and Youth Leaders become the building blocks to the overarching goal of transforming lives. Thus, genuine connection is paramount to the success of Youth Ministry, and we have an obligation to share in the experience of lifting the areas of generational development. Therefore, as a Youth Leader in this dispensation, these are the questions to ponder: Are you ready to build lasting connections? Will your impartation make an indelible imprint? Can you withstand the cultural winds of change while maintaining the relevant truth of the Gospel? As a result of our presence and the title of 'Youth Leader' bestowed, does our target audience view our leadership as a distant shadow? Are we the reason Youth Ministry is stagnant? Yes, it is time to truly consider our stance and make positive impressions that will never fade as we challenge every facet of our roles and expert obligations within the realms of Youth Ministry. This book will re-frame, illuminate, and define our unique assignment from Almighty God to be the lifeline to - and for - the generations! Since we are an entire community within the ecosystem of Youth Ministry Leadership, let's re-create the vibe of our golden opportunities while re-imagining ways to ignite the commission that never sleeps - Youth Ministry!

From Bitter to Better! GOD has a way of setting you up. He has orchestrated every scene of your life. You will have no clue whom He will use, what He will use, or how He will use the who or the what, but you will find out why when you surrender to the crushing process. For Shonda Boyd Brown, it was in her marriage of 22 years that GOD used to process her for purpose. GOD will take the wounded areas of your life and use them for your good to help others. It is through the pain of childhood trauma, molestation, rape, miscarriage, a broken relationship, sickness, abuse, abandonment, betrayal, foreclosure, bankruptcy, loss of loved ones, disappointment, divorce, separation, church hurt, and rejection that you will find yourself traumatized and wounded seemingly beyond recovery. Shonda Boyd Brown found out that every wound will have a scab that represents the "e;GRACE of GOD."e; He will cover you and protect you in the process. Every wound will eventually turn into a scar; that scar will be a reminder of the road you traveled to get to your purpose. You will forever have the memory of it but will no longer feel its pain. So, do not "e;ABORT THE PROCESS.'' Someone is depending on you to come out. Stay committed regardless of how ugly it gets. The Potter will remold you as if it never happened. He will reset you on a firm foundation and elevate you in the presence of your enemies, and by this, you will understand that you serve a purposeful GOD, and nothing you ever went through was wasted. It was preparation for your DIVINE DESTINY!

People often remind Jamillah of the many things that happened to her. She tries to encourage them to look at it from a different perspective.

Being a Christian is not always as beautiful as some make it. In life, we go through issues, failures, disappointments, and experience trials that seem like they will destroy us. Dealing with shameful situations caused a great amount of growth and awareness in Tatyana's life.

Unmasking The Real Me explains why her trust is completely in God and not herself, the people in her life, or even the materialistic things she has acquired.

Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold is a compilation of life values designated by God versus the values of mankind. Take a journey with Gale Harris as she discusses Christian values that are vital in the lives of Christians.

It's commonplace to panic when the world around you begins to change. It is also commonplace to revert to figuring out the crisis and developing a plan to get out of it. As creatures of habit, inadvertently, we are used to being in control. When plans are interrupted or compromised, we attempt to hold on to what we know or draw conclusions and live under false illusions. Fear, frustrations, loss, confusion, discouragement, and depression settle in when all else fails. Discipline in the Wilderness is a Christian book offering a different perspective on the world or personal crises and the dangers they can bring when not learning the valuable lesson of putting God first. An outward crisis is often God unveiling what is inward. The Spirit of God works within the problem to get our attention to build a lifelong covenant with us. When the crisis passes, our attention must remain on what God says and is doing. Sherie M. Davis shares her compelling wilderness experience, finding balance through discipline rather than reacting out of impulse, finding revelation through the Word of God, the warnings, and its victories. We must understand, in every crisis, that God is trying to do a new thing, and it behooves us to let Him.

This book is God-Ordained, predestined for you to read. Being in an interethnic relationship is harder than it looks. Not from the inside, but from the outside. In this book, Ronald and Fe reveal their journey of over 35 years of marriage, although different ethnicity, as soulmates. No one could have told Fe she would be in an interethnic relationship, especially a MARRIAGE!!! But according to Ron, as everyone knows him, he already knew this to be his destiny, with Felicia. However, here we are 35 plus years later; two daughters and a beautiful granddaughter. Living life with someone outside your ethnicity is very challenging. I want to pause and reiterate regarding the challenges; it's not from the relationship itself but from the world's view. Outsiders looking in! I'm not saying it has been easy on the inside either, although very doable. These 35 plus years have taught us a lot about who we are as well as who people (outsiders) are. Over the years we have grown together, cried together, and laughed together. A lot of laughs! But most importantly we have LOVED together. So come along and open your hearts and minds in understanding that it's not the outside that determines who we are but merely the inside. Let's be open and not limited in the way we view the "e;Human Race"e; whether black, white or somewhere in between. Love is Love and there are no boundaries. This is our journey.

As we are confronted with troublesome times, God is still speaking - He will never be silent...!This is a book of sermons that have been birthed out of the COVID-19 crisis. The message that God reveals through them are words of encouragement and hope to those affected negatively by this pandemic. Surely, God is not silent in this season, and He has bent His ear to the cry of His servants in this hour. Upon listening and hearing His voice, these messages were penned, and as a result, this book of sermons has been brought forth. Although some were preached years ago, their relevance and significance have been brought to bear as being very much needed by the servants of God. The pages of this book are filled with both simple and profound truths that will stir the hearts of the readers and generate other messages as other Ministers of the Gospel will attend upon these words. Although many books of sermons have been written, although many sermons are posted on the World-Wide-Web, this volume of sermons will be set apart as unique because these messages are crucial for such a time as this. After this season is over, these messages will ensure that the people of God will continue to be encouraged during any and all types of crises.

Learning to forgive is a process. After over thirty years of carrying her past, Felicia Portwine made a conscious decision to let go of all that had been holding her in bondage (hostage). The hurt, pain, guilt, and shame were who she thought she was; it was her reality. She had to let it all go once and for all! You Knew Me Then, But You See Me Now is her declaration of freedom. Felicia's willingness to forgive was the pivot point in which her life truly began. A person may never know they are bound until they are free. Unresolved issues and your past can ultimately take over your entire life. You will begin to tell people this is who I am.However, in reality, this is what you have become as a result of hurt. Hurting people hurt others. On the other hand, if a person does not know they are hurting, then in return, they do not realize they are hurting others. Forgiveness feels like you are rewarding someone for something they don't deserve! How many times has God forgiven us? It kind of sounds like GRACE to me. The grace working in us for others allows us to forgive and move past the past! So, allow your grace for others to help you forgive and move into your GOD-given destiny (your purpose). This will keep the past in the past! Trust the process and forgive in order to live your God-given purpose, destiny, a life of liberty, and freedom. Live your best life! Finally, free to be you. This is Felicia's purpose for this book - to help you be the best you!
