This is the amazing and true story of Belma Vardy, who as a young child lived through the brutal and terrifying events that accompanied the end of World War II and the sudden erection of the Berlin Wall, when East was separated from West and families were ripped apart.
The trauma Belma endured during those years would have destroyed most people. If they had survived, they would have been severely crippled emotionally. But Belma found the key to healing. This story is one of courage, gripping contrasts and is told here in remarkable detail. Her journey of recovery demonstrates how God can use our fractured and broken stories to bring healing and hope to others. And, that healing is possible for any broken, wounded, rejected soul. It illustrates how one event, or a single life's circumstances, can impact others who share a similar background in widely divergent ways.
Providentially, Belma was back almost 30 years later to witness and celebrate the destruction of that wall. Her gripping personal narrative, as told here in Because God was There, follows her life’s journey out of extraordinary abuse and painful separation to a place of restoration, forgiveness, and joy that can only be found in Christ.

We are participating in changes that will soon define this period in history! As followers of Jesus, we want to immerse ourselves in this living story while learning from Jesus, living like Jesus and leading like Jesus so we may apply his principles and become transformational participants in the best story ever told. With a view towards helping us understand these principles by first identifying our own worldview, and better understanding the culture in which Jesus lived, Mary-Elsie Wolfe applies the values of Jesus to the model for leadership today. She offers us a vision for the future that is leading-edge yet moderate, traditional yet progressive. Drawing upon key Bible stories of women in Jesus’ day, our view of the future is enlarged as believers as she looks at the prominence of women in the early church and then applies key principles in an effective way for our day.

"At six years old Charles Mulli woke up one morning to find he had been completely abandoned by both parents. All alone he fell into a life of abject poverty, forcing Mulli to wander from hut to hut begging for food for his very survival, unable even to attend school. …" As a teenager Mulli started a small taxi company which grew to be very successful. Eventually he expanded his business ventures to include real estate, insurance, and oil and gas distribution, becoming a highly successful businessman. But despite all his success, the growing struggle in his heart over the plight of thousands of Kenyan street children remained strong until one day he surrendered to the call of God on his life to sell everything he owned and begin rescuing street children from the slums of Kenya. His story is told here in My Journey of Faith from his own perspective, describing his incredible life of faith that is filled with love, miracles, and powerful answers to prayer, and demonstrates persuasively how a close walk with God is accessible to all of us even today. The reader will experience the amazing true stories of tragedy-turned-triumph where hopeless cases encounter the work of Charles Mulli’s and discover a new life they could not have imagined.

The Yuletide Factor: Cause for Perpetual Comfort and Joy brilliantly rises to the level of Tim Huff’s previous best-selling and award-winning works, Bent Hope and Dancing with Dynamite, challenging a status quo population to look for, and become, “Christmas people,” every day of the year. But, make no mistake; this is not just “another” Christmas book, but rather one that will be equally at home in a springtime picnic basket or on a summertime dock chair as it will in a December stocking hung by the chimney with care. Beyond its exhilarating collection of seasonal short stories, The Yuletide Factor takes readers on a timeless journey, touching down when and where even nuances of the Christmas spirit have left indelible legacies, often at the unlikeliest of times and in the most improbable of places. Prepare yourself for an unpredictable adventure in faith, an unapologetic summons for goodness, a fascinating exploration of the human spirit, and a tender invitation to the soul.

Life is busy with lots of demands, and many would acknowledge that they are overextended, exhausted and stressed out. In fact, some would say they don’t even have time to catch their breath. In the Gospels, there are different accounts of Jesus and the disciples deliberately leaving behind the demands of life and retreating to a quiet place in order to be renewed. This reinforces the concept that a retreat is a necessity for each one of us in today’s world if we want to keep our balance in life and relationship with God strong. In spite of all the good reasons we can think of, we can also come up with just as many good excuses not to take time to be away. In this new guide, David Sherbino helps you to get through this hindrance and identify the many aspects and benefits of doing a personal retreat. It is a step by step guide that will help you with practical steps that allow you to develop and build your relationship with God, create an openness to God and learn to listen to what he has to say to you and be totally renewed.
