1 The Miracle Man

The Miracle Man

Melissa | Religious

Rating:

Do you need a miracle? Well, you’ve come to the right place! These are true stories of lives transformed by the miraculous power of the Living God! I hope you will imagine yourself in their shoes, and experience the great love of Jesus, the Miracle Man. We’re not going to just fill our heads with information ABOUT Jesus. We are going to plop ourselves right down in the middle of each story. Imagine ourselves there. As if what is happening, is happening to us. As if what Jesus is saying, he is saying to us. What each person was thinking and feeling, and how each one connected with Jesus. Let’s dive in, sink deep, and soak ourselves in these accounts of Jesus reaching out to ordinary people, not so different from you and me. We will get to know Jesus, and receive, I pray, a miracle!

11 I Am Not My Brother's Keeper

I Am Not My Brother's Keeper

Amelia Bradford | Drama

Rating:

This is a true story about children hurt by their own parents. It's about not doing the easy thing, the common thing, and turning away, and it's about the long, hard, expensive fight to do what's right. It's a success story, too, (if that's the right phrase) about a family torn apart, about parents prosecuted, convicted and jailed and children given another chance. It's the story of a flawed justice system that, for all its errors, all its faults, in this case, did what we hope it will. It's about what the words - family, love and responsibility - really mean, and, most of all, it's an example for those of us who care about kids enough to do more than talk about it.

Peter Evans | General Non Fiction

I moved to the USA in 1991/92 from the UK in 1997 I was sentenced to nine years in the Texas Penitentiary. This book contains facts concerning corruption and deception within the system & beyond. Although much will be hard to believe the factual reality only takes common sense and could only reach the conclusion that I was incarcerated illegally, but no-one will dare take my case because they fear the power of the system. I have been suppressed and so I present the true facts and let you the people be the Jury, I am sure that you will find the system Guilty. This book is deep but I have tried to make is as easy for you as I can, but I am not a writer and so there are many mistakes, please bear with me I have done my best. Love, Peter
