Everybody Loved Roger Harden

By: Cecil Murphey

A dinner party turns into a case of whodunit when the host, millionaire Roger Harden, is found dead before the first course. On the scene are psychologist Julie West and Reverend James Burton, who don their detective hats to take a closer look at their fellow partygoers. There are ten possible suspects, all sharing close living quarters at the millionaire’s secluded home on Palm Island. Each one harbors deep secrets and a reasonable motive to have wanted Roger gone. But in order to uncover the true criminal, Julie must first push aside her growing attraction to the reverend, and focus on a different type of fascination—one for murder. Note: This is a previously published work. For readers who purchased the original edition, this second edition is not substantially different.

More Than Surviving

Courageous Meditations for Men Hurting from Childhood Abuse

By: Cecil Murphy

Many survivors of childhood abuse think of themselves as defective, flawed, and worthless. Cecil Murphey knows this too well. A survivor himself, he's familiar with the shame and brokenness that can come from abuse. But he also knows there is hope, not only for surviving, but for flourishing. More Than Surviving is more than just personal accounts or clinical data; it's a series of short meditations for readers to delve into whenever they have the time or need a quick burst of encouragement in a difficult day. Vulnerable, honest, and incredibly courageous, each ends with a brief prayer to help men face their pain and to grow from the experience--and past it. Murphey's transparency affirms his readers and assures them that they are not alone: many men have gone through the same painful experiences and are now strong survivors. Here, more men will discover guidance, encouragement, and practical advice on how to live victoriously.

When God Turned Off the Lights

When God Turned Off the Lights

True Stories of Seeking God in the Darkness

By: Cecil Murphey

Every devoted Christian experiences periods of time when God seems far away, when the light of His face seems to have turned away and left His child to fumble in the darkness. During periods of spiritual blackout, when God seems to be silent, we feel as if we’ve been put on hold: We wait and wait for God to get back on the line. We know it will be wonderful when the light comes back on and drives away the darkness, but we want it now—not later. Award-winning writer Cecil Murphey has journeyed through this darkness three different times during his many years following Christ, and each time was more difficult than the last. He suggests that believers have three choices when the lights go out: (1) Give up, (2) examine ourselves for sin or failure, or (3) accept that God’s face is hidden with His purpose in mind. In When God Turned Off the Lights, readers will learn how to make the most of their time on hold by pondering the mysteries of God’s character, confident that He will turn the lights on once again.

A Walk Through the Dark

How My Husband's 90 Minutes in Heaven Deepened My Faith for a Lifetime

By: Eva Piper,Cecil Murphey

One day Eva Piper was an elementary school teacher, the mother of three, the beloved wife of a strong, protective husband. The next day she stood at the bedside of a broken man who could do nothing but moan in agony and turn his head away from her. Later she would learn that he had died and actually experienced heaven before being prayed back to life—a true miracle. Don Piper’s testimony, told in the New York Times bestseller 90 Minutes in Heaven, would one day bring hope to thousands. But all that was in the future. Despite family and friends who kept vigil with her, Eva Piper found herself essentially alone. Walking in the dark. And she had always hated the dark. Though it parallels that of her husband, Eva Piper’s account is quite different from his. It takes readers not to heavenly places but through a very earthly maze of hospital corridors, insurance forms, tiring commutes from home to workplace and hospital, and lonely hours of waiting and worrying. This is the story of a woman learning, step by darkened step, to go places she never thought she could go and growing into a person she never thought she could be. Packed with hard-earned wisdom about what it means to be a caregiver, to open yourself to the care of others, and to rest in God’s provision, this bookprovides a dependable source of light to help you walk through the dark.

Unleash the Writer Within

The Essential Writers’ Companion

By: Cecil Murphey

Beloved author Cecil (Cec) Murphey says, “The best kind of writing occurs when it comes from the heart. It’s called being authentic or transparent. Too many writers have an insatiable need to be accepted, liked, or admired, and those needs become more important than being true to their convictions. Be you when you write.” But having the courage to tap into your innermost self and write purely from your spirit doesn’t always come naturally, which is why he wrote Unleash the Writer Within to guide you along the way. In this book, Cec helps you: * Answer why you write; * Find the real you; * Understand your inner critic; * Determine your strengths and weaknesses; * Honor, embrace, and grow your voice; * Discover your rhythm; * Overcome your barriers to honest writing. Unleash the Writer Within is sure to become your most-used and marked-up writing companion. It also serves as an excellent resource for writers’ events, group discussions, and conferences. Note: UNLEASH THE WRITER WITHIN is a previously published work, and is not substantially different from the original edition.

Stolen

The True Story of a Sex Trafficking Survivor

By: Katariina PhD Rosenblatt,Cecil Murphey

Sex trafficking is currently a hot news topic, but it is not a new problem or just a problem in "other" countries. Every year, an estimated 300,000 American children are at risk of being lured into the sex trade, some as young as eight years old. It is thought that up to 90 percent of victims are never rescued. Stolen is the true story of one survivor who escaped--more than once. First recruited while staying with her family at a hotel in Miami Beach, Katariina Rosenblatt was already a lonely and abused young girl who was yearning to be loved. She fell into the hands of a confident young woman who pretended friendship but slowly lured her into a child prostitution ring. For years afterward, a cycle of false friendship, threats, drugs, and violence kept her trapped. As Kat shares her harrowing experiences, readers will quickly realize the frightening truth that these terrible things could have happened to any child--a neighbor, a niece, a friend, a sister, a daughter. But beyond that, they will see that there is real hope for the victims of sex trafficking. Stolen is more than a warning. It is a celebration of survival that will inspire.
