Pastors’ wives are human. Let's face it. Behind the welcoming smiles, gentle handshakes, and stylish dresses, they face untold challenges in their personal and church lives. Who does a first lady talk to? To whom does she tell her woes? In this inspiring and compelling book, First Lady Leisa Wynn-Johnson invites pastors' wives to engage in candid and liberating conversations about their real lives.

Each chapter has a scripture, a powerful prayer, and an encouraging affirmation of gratitude, confidence, family success, empowerment, and more. Whether you are young or old, quiet or vocal, a novice or expert first lady, a clergy wife, or in ministry yourself, these conversations will uplift, encourage, and guide you in your role as a mother, wife, and woman of God.

Every human being has an innate call to be truly known as significant and loved by others. God has created and set this longing within us to be known for who we are. Knowing you is to know that your identity is in Jesus Christ because you were created in God's image. An individual's lack of this knowledge can result in a socio-psychological identity crisis and role confusion as characterized by social psychologist Erik Erikson. To know your identity is to know whose you are and how you came to be you. Therefore, much of our emotional pain, turmoil, and dysfunctions in our personal lives are predicated on not knowing our true identity. Therefore, we need the aid of a structure that promotes the truth of God esteem and to position us for emotional healing that positively impact our identity in Christ. This book presents elements of a spiritual formational approach, which incorporates the knowledge of core longings, self-fulfilling behaviors, and emotional wounds into a personal healing structure that impacts our Christian identity. 

You will become ENLIGHTENED as you learn who you are. This book of poems and positive affirmations will not only help build your self-esteem but will foster a sense of pride for who you are. Your hair, your color, your eyes, your family and everything aspect of you that makes you uniquely you are differences to be celebrated. This book will help you look deep within yourself and discover what the real "YOU" is all about.

I never asked to be a 49-year-old virgin. I mean, who would?

We live in a world that is obsessed with sex. We are inundated with sexual images from commercials and Super Bowl halftime shows to movies like Fifty Shades of Gray. Yet, when I was sixteen, I made a vow to remain a virgin until I married.

What I could not know was that this decision would require a 33-year commitment on my part. Although my dream was delayed, I was not denied.

This theme was present throughout my life. Through it all, I learned that . . .

God’s timing is always better than mine.

After having experienced one of the most difficult trials of my life, I was left hurt, broken and felt all alone in this world. My inability to cope with the things I was experiencing caused me to lose my way which led to me spending most nights sobbing uncontrollably.At some point, after spending months of being broken, I hit rock bottom & understood that I had to stop allowing the pain to keep me lost, feeling down & disconnected from God. Eventually, I got tired of the sleepless nights & sobbing uncontrollably. I started praying more and reading scriptures which were the beginning steps in me learning how to start crying out to God for refuge.Crying out to God is the best thing I ever done in my life and it started me on this new journey walking in His Peace. Finding the Peace of God is the Greatest gift on earth & it's what has inspired me to write my first Book of Devotionals. Path To Still Waters Vol.1 is a 28 day Book of Devotionals made up of 4 Chapters; Acceptance; Repentance; Forgiveness & Thanksgiving. Considered to be an "Easy Read", this Book of Devotionals takes up less than 10 mins out of anybody's day.Path To Still Waters serves as a journal on the journey of every reader & will help them find God's Peace once they learn how to let go of pain, forgive & move on. Each page in the chapters includes a scripture, an expressed thought by me, the writer & it also gives the reader an opportunity to express their thoughts before closing out with a prayer. Again, an "Easy Read".While many are experiencing very trying and difficult times, God inspired me to share a little of my testimony & share how I was able to forgive others for the terrible acts they did against me. Forgiving others was one of my greatest challenges and it took me almost 3 years to forgive "Wholeheartedly". Using God's Word as my Guide, Scriptures helped me throughout the various stages of the healing process. Now, in turn, my hopes are to inspire others to use God's Word to help them get through their healing process. Path To Still Waters Vol.1 is intended to be used as a guide to assist in the healing process for individuals who are having difficulty forgiving others. While trials & tribulations come in various forms, certain acts done against us remain to be the toughest things to get over. Path To Still Waters Vol.1 will help every reader see the bigger picture & help them to Stop Focusing on the wrongful acts done against them, which left them feeling hurt or even broken. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of healing and growing "WHILE" using God's Word to help get through various trials. Whether it be acts done against us by a stranger or a loved one or whether it be as a result of having experienced pain or disappointment due to a broken heart, betrayal or infidelity; accepting & forgiving are necessary in the healing process. No other way around it. Path To Still Waters Vol. 1 will assist in the healing process as every reader learns how to Accept their trials; Repent and ask God for forgiveness; Forgive & Thank God for Carrying them through the entire process. Be Encouraged to Seek God and rely on His Strength as He carries you through your various trials. For this is where you will find peace after having found God's Path To Still Waters. Glory To His Name. Sincerely, Author Angela Evans

“Magnify the Lord” with her!

“O taste and see that the Lord is good!” - Psalm 34:8a 

When Marva Cromartie Nyema first experienced missions work as a young woman in Haiti, she did not know she would one day live in the interior in Liberia for over a year in answer to God's call, go on to minister for decades in many other Africa nations. and raise funds to build an orphanage.

This inspiring story of one woman's faith and reliance on God in trying circumstances is interwoven with the history of women in missions in the six-million-member Church of God in Christ (COGIC).

Marva Cromartie Nyema is an experienced military chaplain, and short-term missionary with the Church of God in Christ.

Prayer is the one standing invitation that is overlooked, discounted and ignored. Wake Up and Pray reveals 26 topics expressed in alphabet order that give us reasons to pray. It challenges us to move from obligatory and neutral prayers to those we believe are being heard by God.

The chapters are filled with experiences that are captivating and colorful. Like children responding to the call to come out and play, you will respond to the call to “come on and pray.”

"The Fifth Season - God's Promise to Us" is a must read for every follower of Jesus Christ. It is a tremendous tool of hope, encouragement, and inspiration to all. Are you awaiting to experience your Fifth Season? If you are not already in your fifth season, the author believes without a doubt that you are on the verge of experiencing the fifth season, which is your due season of restoration, supernatural favor, and abundance. In this book, every believer is inspired to hold on to your faith in God while awaiting your season of promise. After you have done the will of God, you need patience to wait on His promise.

The author centers the title of this book around Galatians 6:9, wherein Apostle Paul declares, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap; if we faint not." You may be in a pre-season of tests and trials, but if you remain faithful as a good soldier in the army of the Lord, you will reap a harvest of blessings. The author does not fail to remind the children of God that you are on God's calendar, and if you don't give up or give in to the enemy's tactics, your breakthrough appointment is closer than you think. Your reward will be greater than the struggle. God's divine plan is to bless every one of His children with fifth seasons, which rightly belong to you. However, it will be manifested in God's own timing if you do not faint.

Finally, the author also shares some of her own personal experiences and testimonies to help build up your faith in God. Her primary purpose is to enrich your daily walk with God and give strength to the weak and hope for the weary. The author believes without a doubt that God has ordained for you, the child of God, to experience and enjoy not only one but recurring fifth seasons. Remember, if God has made you a promise, you are going to live to see it happen. Your setback is only a setup for your comeback. Our God is a promise keeper. 

 THIS BOOK IS ABOUT HOW TO GROW A SPIRITUAL GARDEN STARTING WITH THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT. OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE IS BY FAITH. 

Forgive in order to live is my motto. As a former victim of unforgiveness, I repeat this mantra to help me as well. My goal is to help others do the same. Because of my experiences as a child and as an adult, I was inspired to write Damaged Women, How to Rehabilitate, and Is It Discipline or Child Abuse? I want you to be inspired as you read this book of poems and scriptures titled Gods Gift. Oftentimes we cant say what we feel, but writing it down makes it easier. My objective is for you to know that you can survive through forgiving. Just enough faith can give you strength to make it. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. He said just speak it, and no matter whats standing in your way, it shall be moved. Forgiveness is the first step in your healing process. Use your trials as stepping stones to a solid foundation. Keep believing and stay positive in everything you do; God will work it out for you. Im encouraged to move forward and remain hopeful of every situation that comes before me. From this point on, dont let anything hold you down; rebuke it and keep moving. My favorite poem is The Swinging Door. My favorite scripture is Psalm 34: I will bless the Lord at all times. He took me form the dirt and healed the hurt in me. Thanks to everyone in my life, and may God truly bless you.
