Alive!
A Physician's Biblical & Scientific Guide to Nutrition
Scott Stoll, MD
Foreword: Walt Larimore, MD
he Center for Disease Control states that more than 75 percent of diseases are preventable or reversible with no doctors, no medicine, and no surgery! Sounds impossible, right? And yet, it's truly so simple and logical that, in our so-called "enlightened" society, it seems ridiculous to us. The solution? Return to God's diet plan as described on Day 3 of Creation in Genesis 1:20. That's it!
In Alive! Dr. Scott Stoll uses the Bible, case studies, medical research, and scientific facts to teach us how to retreat from our suicidal sugar-and-fat-based diet to God's divine plant-based food plan. If we return to God's original provision of food, we can achieve renewed health, disease reversal, and energized life into our eighties, nineties, and beyond!
This is not just another fad diet--it's God's perfect food plan. Try it. You'll live longer and truly enjoy being Alive!

Appetite for Worship
Creating a Hunger for His Presence
Dr. Marina McLean
Foreword by John Kilpatrick
Have you ever tasted the wonder of true worship?
Are you really sure?
If not, you may be missing the very best this life has to offer.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! Worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is the Lamb. You are holy. And you alone are worthy of our praise. Those words of adoration echo across the heavens and repeat and repeat down through the corridors of time from glory to everlasting glory.
Every living thing in heaven continually worships the God of Lightfrom angels to beasts and elders. But while worship in heaven is, no doubt, astonishing, ultimate worship happens right here on earth. And through that worship we are drawn into the intimate presence of God himself, to the very throne of heaven.
Have you ever tasted the wonder of true worship?
Are you really sure?
If not, you may be missing the very best this life has to offer.
In Appetite for Worship, international worship leader and author Marina McLean leads us on a fascinating journey into the great banquet hall of God by exploring the spiritual feast we call worship. It's a celebration of devotion and eternal hope hosted by our Father.
This is not simply a logical instruction book on how to worship. It's not a rehearsal of tired clichés and overworked concepts. Instead, Appetite for Worship is a rich, personal encounter with the one who adores you, the one whose signature you bear, the one whose breath and life fill and sustain you. It's a delicious experience you'll never forget, and it will propel you forward in your search for life's deepest meaning and eternal life's highest joy.
This book will whet your appetite for worship, and you'll come away with a little taste of heaven. Buy it. Consume it.
And live a life beyond your wildest expectation!
This is not just another fad diet--it's God's perfect food plan. Try it. You'll live longer and truly enjoy being Alive!

Bound to a Promise
A True Story of Love, Murder, and Redemption
Bonnie Floyd
Foreword: Sheila Walsh
At six o’clock on a cold, foggy morning in Fresno, California, Bonnie Floyd’s horrific nightmare began . . . but she was wide-awake!
This may sound like the beginning of a fiction thriller, but it isn’t. This is a true story, and the nightmare was all too real. Life as Bonnie had known it was over, and the future she faced was unimaginable . . . unspeakable.
Bound to a Promise is a nonfiction novel, told in fascinating, page-turning fiction style. This astonishing true story will grab you with the first sentence and hold you captive until the very last page.
This is a heartbreaking story of intrigue, murder, and betrayal with more twists and turns than the wildest roller coaster ride. But it is so much more. This is a story of redemption. This is a story of grace and of forgiveness to a depth few of us will ever know.
–Sheila Walsh, Best-Selling Author,
Speaker, and Recording Artist
Based on Scotland Yard’s investigation, newspaper reports, court transcripts, and eyewitness accounts, Bound to a Promise has it all—exotic settings, courtroom drama, real-life adventure, convicting testimony, and puzzling mystery.
The key to this disturbing drama hangs on a very crucial and binding promise made to Bonnie. Did the promisemaker keep that promise or was it broken? The answer to that burning question had everlasting consequences both for the promise maker and the one to whom the promise was made.
This shocking story is like an exciting action movie
played out in powerful print. Don’t be surprised if it captures your heart and you, too, become bound to a promise.

Robert P. Mullen
In this age of supposed enlightenment, why does Christ's church still struggle with racial inequality?

Inside Lucifer's War
Byron J. Smith
"Empty, cold, and afraid, I hear a chanting in a tongue I do not recognize or understand. Then I hear an evil laughter over the chants, a laughter that sends a chill down my spine."
Dr. Thomas Fields, renowned writer, political science professor, and champion of atheism, awakes in the horrifying presence of Lucifer—Satan himself—and his despicable disciples. And life as Thomas has known it ceases to exist.
Lucifer has a master plan for Thomas, but first he must force Thomas to worship him alone. Suddenly Thomas lands in the midst of the Principal—a secret organization dedicated to controlling the world under the guise of creating “peace.”
The Principal’s true mission is to crush Christianity and its followers. But they need Dr. Fields to accomplish their mission. That mission could cost the lives of the friends Thomas loves and ultimately all Christians.
A riveting story of spiritual fiction…or is it?
What if it’s really true? You decide.

Make Your Vision Go Viral
Taking Christ to Great Cities
A Proven 5-Step Plan That Really Works
Dr. Gary Sorrells
Foreword by Dr. Howard Norton
Christ’s final words set out His eternal vision and direction for His disciples: “Go and make followers of all people in the world” (Matthew 28:19 NCV). It was part of His last will and testament. But how can you do it successfully?
In 1961, drawn together by their passion to fulfill the vision of Christ, thirty-one dedicated graduates of Abilene Christian University (ACU) moved to Brazil to ignite the flame of eternal hope in the hearts of South American people. Their plan was to plant churches in great Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking cities in the Latin world. And Great Cities Missions (GCM) was born.
Since then GCM has recruited, trained, and cared for more than 279 missionaries on 29 teams, successfully reaching multiple cities on the South American continent—missionaries such as Max and Denalyn Lucado, Bryan and Becky Gibbs, Kelley and Julie Grant, and many others.
Now, fifty years later, under the leadership of Gary Sorrells and others, GCM’s vision is ever expanding and powerful. And through their extensive experience GCM has crystalized a model for success in foreign missions. Make Your Vision Go Viral details that model in a proven 5-step plan—that really works! It’s a practical plan that every missionary in every church can follow to succeed.

Sheila Bailey
Foreword by Thelma Wells
When life knocks you down, steals your joy, and
takes away your livelihood,
what can you do? God says, “Live on what’s left!”

When Sheila Bailey’s husband—prominent pastor E. K. Bailey—died, Sheila faced the rest of her life alone, in deep grief, with limited income, and no life direction. What was she to do? How would she survive? Then she found the answer in 2 Kings when the prophet Elisha told a widow with only a little bit of oil,
Go sell the oil . . . and live on what’s left. (4:7 MSG)
In other words, “Live on your leftovers!” Growing up on leftovers, Sheila was familiar with that concept. And it has now become her daily mantra and powerful message, which has exploded into a dynamic ministry that touches thousands of lives each year. In Makeovers with Leftovers, Dr. Bailey provides in-depth Bible teaching, including these valuable features:

More Than Lipstick
You Are a Designer Original
Deborah King
What makes a woman feel beautiful? Is it the perfect makeup, a gorgeous outfit, a great personality, or an ivy-league education?
No, it’s so much more!
Every woman longs to see beauty in her mirror each morning. Sadly, the truth about her marvelous, God-created design is often marred at a young age by lies that she is not good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough. So her natural confidence fades, her innocence is tarnished, and she begins to hide.
In More Than Lipstick,you won’t find another to-do list to complicate your busy schedule. Instead it’s an engraved invitation to celebrate your unique design and become the fabulous woman God intended.
Writing in short, quick-read sections, author Deborah King inspires you to recognize your one-of-a-kind, divine design, both physically and spiritually. You will capture the essence of who you are as you sip your morning coffee, wait for an appointment, or while dinner is simmering.
Flavored with poignant quotations and powerful scriptures, each devotional-like section offers thoughtful Moments of Meditation to focus your mind and heart on God.
Women have turned, since the beginning of time, to manmade processes to enhance their beauty, elevate their acceptance in society, and increase their self-esteem. Deborah King has reminded us to be aware of the gift of the hand of the Divine upon our lives. Our true quest should be to reflect the Giver of all beauty.

The Person Beside the Bed
Encouragement for the Informal Caregiver
Jo Angelia Simpson
No one really thinks about the person beside the bed. The caregiver is like an empty chair—visitors focus on the person in the bed, and the caregiver becomes invisible.
In the United States today more than fifty million family caregivers provide an average of thirty-seven billion hours of unpaid, informal care per year for adult family members, children, and friends with chronic illnesses or conditions. Family caregivers log in from twenty-one to eighty or more hours a week, and many do
not get consistent help from other family members. Informal caregiving on an extended basis can become extremely stressful and tiring. So here’s the question: who is caring for the caregiver in your life ? Caregivers desperately need to be care receivers too. But what can you do to support, relieve, and assist the person in your life—the one who is giving so much? In The Person Beside the Bed, author Jo Simpson speaks from extensive personal experience as a caregiver, offering practical, down-to-earth lessons and resources to bolster the physical and emotional needs of informal caregivers, including these excellent features:
-
An informative glossary of terms that caregivers encounter
-
A collection of selected scriptures to uplift and encourage caregivers
-
A researched list of online links to valuable websites and other helpful materials
The fact is, at some point you—as a daughter, son, husband, wife, grandchild, niece, nephew, or friend—are likely to become an informal caregiver for someone you love too. And this well-packed, helpful book can be your best friend on the journey. Get it. Use it. Read it and reap!
