(Mill City Press)

Lessons on Church Folk Volume 1 & Volume 2 are books that are packed with quotes and stories that tell of the various attitudes and behaviors of many fictional church members. Even though these stories are fictional, each scenario can occur at any church. No church is exempt from any of these situations.

These books will make you laugh, cry, smile and frown. They will make you more aware of your surroundings as you attend church. Both books are interesting reads because they will give you a chance to follow these characters as they go from experiencing hard times to experiencing triumph in Christ.

(Dr. Carol Clark)

Addict America: The Lost Connection helps readers become familiar with the concept of addiction as something in and of itself, regardless of the drug or behavior of choice. It is excessive stimulation that affects the brain, resulting in a chemical need for more of everything, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, technology, food, and stress, which results in a state of addiction. This ultimately leads to disconnection and lack of intimacy in all relationships.

An awareness of this process allows us to make a conscious decision to be more present and authentic, in order to find enjoyment in our daily lives. The simple daily exercises in the book will help us experience true intimacy and Connection in our relationships.
