Mary Margaret met the Holy Spirit when she was eight years old on the backside of a mountain in Montgomery County. Two weeks later, she met Jesus close to the neighbor's pond. Later, as she walked near the barn, He told her, "She would suffer many things for her faith in him." She describes both of them in the book. When she was on her Damascus Road experience, God appeared to her as the Ancient of Days as related in Isaiah 6. Gabriel the messenger appeared to her and confirmed the message she had received from the Ancient of Days. Michael the archangel appears to her very often to fight the many battles she has faced. The Holy Spirit is very intimate in taking her places as a young child and bringing her with him. The Holy Spirit covers her with his wings quite often as she sees this in an open vision and under his wings will she trust (Ps. 91:4). She wonders why she has been given so many visitations of heavenly beings; she is devoted to the Lord, and all he wants to take place in our world. She puts her faith in a mighty God.
If you long to draw nearer to the Creator, crave to feel the Spirit’s comfort, or yearn to follow Jesus along the journey of faith, you will treasure the humble wisdom that has crossed your path. Seek, Wait, Trust: Poems for Navigating the Spiritual Journey contains the pensive, poetic voice of Mary Morgan Brown and the compelling prayers of Rev. Dr. Gregg Brown. “These are not just literary offerings, but also testimonies of what God can do and will do,” Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr. observes in his Foreword. “In many of these poems, scripture verses have morphed into direct advice not so much to be quoted, but actions to be taken. Listen not so much for rhymes or meter, literal or symbolic intent. Listen with your heart to hear the voice of God. God has heard the interrogatives, intercessions, petitions, and gratitude of your soul and has lovingly placed an answer in your spirit...If you do not discern the meaning on your first reading, read again and again. When you are finally ready, say ‘Speak Lord, your servant child is ready to hear!’” This book is a boat of wisdom for those on a quest for deeper meaning and purpose in life. The foreword is the bow; the poetry, the hull; and the prayers, the stern. Take the helm. Seek and chart a steady spiritual course. Wait for God’s navigating guidance. Trust your entire destination to the living Lord. • “Mary’s pensive, piercing insight and Gregg’s vigorous, Heaven-bound prayers will leave the reader revitalized and transformed for a closer walk with God and more loving interactions with people.” – Jackie Wright, publicist, President of Wright Enterprises • “Ms. Brown’s poignant, tender, and always relatable poems render new insight to scripture, bridging the peaks and valleys of an ongoing spiritual search.” – Robin Fletcher, writer, Founder of RdF Consulting Services • “It is a poetic dance and masterpiece of movement through self-discovery...it is the essential traveling case required of believers.” – Rev. Dr. Clarence L. Johnson, Senior Pastor, Mills Grove Christian Church, Disciples of Christ
Ernest Hemingway belongs to the triumvirate of the three greatest writers from America’s golden age of literature, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner, but little is known about his religious faith. Celebrated for The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea and many other award-winning literary works, he is also remembered for his machismo and spirit of adventure: a big game hunter, deep sea fisher, boxer, avid swimmer and skier, outdoorsman, and bull fighting aficionado with a bevy of friends—many of whom were well-known celebrities that he enjoyed drinking and socializing with. In addition, and perhaps surprisingly, Hemingway was deeply though quietly religious. In his writing, Hemingway consistently drew on his spirituality, the wellspring of which, besides his strong Christian upbringing, was his Catholic faith to which he converted during World War I at age 18. Previous biographers have either ignored this story or told it incompletely or inaccurately. This book seeks to fill the void and paint a portrait that reveals the real Hemingway, and the deep motivations and inspirations that left an indelible imprint on his life, his relationships, and his writing.
About a third of Mr. Gold's account deals with the general history of the county, with the balance devoted to the Civil War. The author provides an overview of the various troop movements throughout the county during the war, such as those under the command of Confederate General Jubal Early. The bulk of the volume examines the roles of Clarke County natives in the conflict.
History is people. So often history is a record of battles, events, battle heroes, with many dates to remember. This book of stories with authentic historical settings and events places the emphasis on the people and the way they lived. Around 1900 the great grey wolf, or lobo, was hunted almost to extinction in Texas. Because they killed so many cattle, the ranchers hired men to crawl into their dins and kill mothers and cubs. Moving to the high plains was traumatic for women and children, but they made homes and helped build towns where nothing was before. Taking a trip of more than a thousand miles before roads were paved, in a Model T Ford, was a wonderous adventure. Ground squirrels, roadrunners, toads, were once numerous in the wild, but are rarely seen now. All of these people and things make the study of history a real adventure and fun reading.

A Nashville woman’s violent husband is presumed dead—until he makes a terrifying return in this thriller by the New York Times bestselling author.

Until death—that was the vow they made. And a killer always keeps his word…
