How do you keep on going-how do you keep on living-when your past has left you broken? How do you keep on loving when the men of your past have hurt you? How do you keep trusting God when all you can pray is "Why, God, did you allow such terrible things to happen to me?" Priscilla Haley wrestles with these questions in Broken But God. As she pours out her life story, her prayer is that others who have been broken and abused, as she was, can freely forgive their abusers, forgive themselves, allow God to heal their wounds, and become whole to walk boldly in their purpose. Her powerful testimony-about how, despite all the horrors she has been through, God has always been and continues to be there for her-is uplifting and inspiring. As it says in Genesis 50:20, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."

When was the last time you prayed? Where were you and what did you say? Most importantly, what's been holding you back from offering up your thanks and needs to the Lord? In After Having Coffee with God: Preparing for Your Answered Prayers, Yolanda Pounds guides readers through not only the process of approachable and personal prayer, but also the more difficult undertaking of staying patient, faithful, and prepared for when God answers those prayers. Pounds describes prayer as a conversation, a long and loving one with your Father over coffee and crumpets. But like in any productive dialogue, prayer requires both honest speaking and strong listening-these chapters offer advice on both and more, keeping the conversation going by discussing what to expect after prayer and how to prepare to walk in your answered prayers. Through Pounds's personal experience and prayers, this empowering book will support novices and seasoned prayer warriors alike!
