In "I've Got This: A Love Story," Mildred Marshall shares her powerful journey of faith and resilience through a sudden, life-altering cancer diagnosis. What began as a sharp pain one Friday evening in July 2012 quickly escalated into a Stage IV cancer diagnosis, with the odds stacked against her. Yet, through every painful treatment and each challenging prognosis, Mildred found peace and strength in her unwavering faith. Against all expectations, she was declared cancer-free in February 2014. Deeply moved by her journey, the Marshalls launched Voices of Hope, a ministry dedicated to supporting cancer patients physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Mildred’s story reminds us of the strength that faith and love can provide, even in the darkest times. "I've Got This: A Love Story" is a testament to the healing power of grace, community, and the guiding hand of the Great Physician.

This morning, I have a Christian nonfiction book in our book blitz spotlight! Check out Genuinely Converted and learn about author Ben Nworie!

Gospel Truth to Help You Fulfill God’s Plan for Your Life

Christian Nonfiction

Date Published: October 9, 2024

Publisher: WestBow Press

Many people who think or say they are Christians may not really be and may not even know it.

Genuinely Converted spells out the concrete, recognizable signs that someone is genuinely converted, which means their old life has passed away and a new person has emerged.

Christian conversion is at the heart of the all-important questions that many of us have, such as “Why are we here?” and “What happens to us after we die?”

While our Christ-centered relationship with God starts with conversion, we must continue on to discipleship which is growing in Christ and living for Christ.

After reading this book, you’ll know how to:

· define the meaning of true conversion;

· identify the signs of conversion;

· recognize false gospels being preached today;

· respond to the message of the true Gospel, and stir your life in the right direction;

· prepare for the Rapture, and avoid the Great Tribulation;

· avoid being a fake or apostate Christian;

· be a genuine, victorious pastor or minister of the gospel.

Dr. Nworie, pastor, counselor, theologian and educator, explains that experiencing genuine conversion is the only way to really live out God’s purpose for your life.

With this book steeped in biblical wisdom, get the answers you need to fulfill your purpose on earth and prepare for the inevitable end God’s Word clearly talks about. The Gospel truth packed inside this book is indispensable for the present and future life of every person or priest. You won’t be the same after reading this book.

Genuinely Converted uses God’s Word to guide you to fulfill God’s plan for your life, be properly focused, reduce your stress, and prepare for heaven.

Virtue Triumphs Vice

Christian Nonfiction / Bible Study

Date Published: September 17, 2024

Which emotion do you value the most: love or hate? Who do you respect and cherish the most: your friends or your enemies? What do you prefer to hear: the truth or lies? What means more to you: success or failure? What would you rather experience: joy or sadness? How do you see the glass of water: half full or half empty? Where do you want to spend eternity: heaven or hell? 133 million Americans go to work every day, 3.5 billion worldwide. There are more than 30 million small businesses in America. Every person, indeed, every business, has three things in common: a place to work (workplace), a culture (environment); and a CHOICE. You can choose to be virtuous or to engage in vices. Virtue Triumphs Vice uses expressions, idioms, and metaphors, supported by Christian scripture and common sense, to bring Christian values to the workplace to improve the culture. There are approximately 1.3 million violent workplace victimizations in American every year. Virtue Triumphs Vice seeks to improve the workplace environment in a manner that is not only pleasing to owners, employers, employees, but more importantly, to God.

  A vanishing boy, human-animal hybrids, and the grisly murder of one’s peers are a lot to handle. Existing in two worlds, being hunted by your town’s killer, and nearly dying every day doesn’t make it any easier. For 15-year-old Stephen Benson, all of this has become normal, managing one life as a town outcast and another as a fantasy land hero. Hopeless and depressed, will he overcome his inner demons and the outer evil hounding his spirit? Will he listen to the child-penguin fairy? Will he save the girl he loves and prevent the slaughter of more teens?

The Savior of Norfolk is set in the not-too-distant future when America has been divided by political and ideological hate. It is a fresh take on understanding the purpose of existence and suffering and wrestles with a spiritual understanding of reality.

About the Author

The Extraordinary True Story of Kisemei Kupe

SOCIAL SCIENCE / Poverty & Homelessness

RELIGION / Christian Life / Relationships

 Date Published: May 30, 2023

Publisher: Clay Bridges

Born into obscurity, poverty, and indifference in the 1960s in the heart of the African wilderness, Kisemei Kupe experienced neglect, hunger, loneliness, misdirection, abuse, and danger to a degree that very few in our Western culture could imagine. Reaching out for help, he devoted himself to Islam only to find himself in acute despair and hopelessness. Yet in the midst of these crushing circumstances, Kisemei experienced a dramatic encounter with the vision of a man he had never met and whose name he didn’t know. It was an encounter so genuine and a metamorphosis so drastic that it would set in motion a series of events that would lead him to face certain death for his actions. He was once a warrior for his village, but now a new warrior had emerged. This is a story that many of us need to hear today—a story that transcends the jury of society, an abiding story of truth and hope for us all.

About the Author

Clark Wiginton is a physician, entrepreneur, and writer who lives in west central Texas with his wife, Stephanie, and their five children. He is a personal friend of the subject of this book.

A Faith-Building Anthology with True Stories of God's Faithfulness, Care, and Power!

Do you have a broken chapter for God to rewrite?

All of us have a broken chapter or two in life—some short in duration and some long—from deeply disappointing to tragic. In Broken Chapters, each chapter's author writes about the way they each personally experienced difficult situations and how they saw God show up in the midst of their pain. God is still in the business of restoring joy, restoring fortunes, restoring identity, and healing broken places today. Nothing is too difficult for Him.

He does care about you; He does care about what you've gone through. He does care about you finding hope, finding peace, finding resolution, finding healing, and most of all, finding Him. His eternal pen still writes and rewrites today, bringing beauty for ashes and working out all types of circumstances for good for those who love Him and are called to live according to His plans and purposes.

Now, it's time for you to be infused with faith and hope for your Broken Chapters to be rewritten.
