Shunned

How I Lost my Religion and Found Myself

By: Linda A. Curtis

A Jehovah’s Witness’ Painful but Liberating Realization that She Must Give Up Her Faith “An inherently compelling and candidly revealing memoir . . . an extraordinary, riveting and unreservedly recommended read from first page to last.” —Midwest Book Review Linda Curtis was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and is an unquestioning true believer who has knocked on doors from the time she was nine years old. Like other Witnesses, she has been discouraged from pursuing a career, higher education, or even voting, and her friendships are limited to the Witness community. Then one day, at age thirty-three, she knocks on a door—and a coworker she deeply respects answers the door. To their mutual consternation she launches into her usual spiel, but this time, for the first time ever, the message sounds hollow. In the months that follow, Curtis tries hard to overcome the doubts that spring from that doorstep encounter, knowing they could upend her “safe” existence. But ultimately, unable to reconcile her incredulity, she leaves her religion and divorces her Witness husband—a choice for which she is shunned by the entire community, including all members of her immediate family. Shunned follows Linda as she steps into a world she was taught to fear and discovers what is possible when we stay true to our hearts, even when it means disappointing those we love. “. . . a moving portrait of one woman's life as a Jehovah's Witness and her painful but liberating realization that she must give up her faith.” ―Publishers Weekly “Curtis’s story reads as true to life . . . it will resonate across faith lines.” —Foreword Reviews “A profound, at times fascinating, personal transformation told with meticulous detail.” —Kirkus Reviews “...a riveting story, a page-turner, a magnificent contribution, and a book you will never forget.” —Lynne Twist, global activist and author of The Soul of Money “A wonderful book that is about so much more than the Jehovah’s Witnesses.” —Adair Lara, longtime columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle “...brilliant, respectful, insightful and most of all hopeful.” ―Openly Bookish Readers of Educated and Leaving the Witness will resonate with Linda Curtis’ moving and courageous account of personal transformation. Order your copy today and begin reading this disturbing, heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring memoir.

Life Within the Veil

Life Within the Veil

By: Linda Jennings

Jesus suffered and died so that the veil of separation could be rent. No longer would we be separated from the Most Holy Place. No longer would we be separated from the fullness of the manifested presence of the lover of our soul. Now we could freely enter within. But this was not to be a place of visitation. This was to become our dwelling place. It would be in this place - in Him - that we would live and move and have our being. Tragically, we have spent centuries living outside the veil in a land so far beneath the fullness of our inheritance. But, "No more!" is the cry of our heavenly Father. "Now is the hour when I, Myself, stand at the entrance and call my church, my 'called out ones, ' within the veil. Come and behold the wonders which lie within." Life within the Veil gives you a glimpse of those glorious wonders. "Life within the Veil will take you to that place in God about which you've only dreamed. I couldn't put the book down and I didn't want it to end. Finally, someone put into words. the longings of my heart" Sharon Mullins Minister, Pastor's wife, Teacher, Intercessor "This book reveals a sacred flow from the heart of the Throne Room straight through the pen of Linda Jennings. Be blessed as you step upon holy ground." Maggie Murphy Pastor, Teacher, Co-host - Tea with Maggie and Linda "As I read Life within the Veil, I felt such a drawing to go there. My heart kept crying out, 'Me too, Lord!' I realized that this was the place I longed to go. This was the place I longed to live my life." Lisa Waters Worship Leader

Galahad in the Gilded Age:

A Life of George William Curtis

By: Linda Dowling

Galahad in the Gilded Age is the story of George William Curtis, regarded at the beginning of his career as little more than a handsome, amusing young man from a socially prominent family. His life would change dramatically after four years traveling in Europe and the Levant, from which he returned to find himself a literary celebrity—“the Howadji”—following the appearance of two books describing his Middle East experiences that some considered so provocatively sensuous as to border on obscenity. Yet during this early celebrity, Curtis would find his life changing profoundly—discovering marital happiness, facing financial bankruptcy and finding himself irresistibly drawn into increasingly bitter controversies: the national battle against slavery, against wide-spreading political corruption, and against what Curtis regarded as a wholly unreasonable resistance to granting women the right to vote. George William Curtis, a contemporary would conclude after his death, was “the best knight of our time.”

Words of Conviction

By: Linda J. White

The clues are hidden in the kidnapper’s words. Can the message be decoded in time? When Zoe, the five-year-daughter of a powerful Senator, is abducted, the FBI brings in Special Agent MacKenzie Graham, a forensic psycholinguist, to analyze the written threats of the vengeful kidnapper. An expert at what she does, Kenzie probes criminal minds more accurately than she does her own heart. Working alongside fellow FBI agent John Crowfeather, Kenzie refuses to acknowledge her mysterious attraction to John, and continues to build walls she believes will protect her not only from men but God as well. John is no fan of hers, either, but they have little time to dwell on it as the case grows more dangerous. When the perpetrator begins posting messages on the Internet, the race is on to save Zoe. Can Kenzie and John rescue the girl before it’s too late? Or will their misguided convictions cost a little girl her life?
