Finding Faith in Pain

The phone rings at three A.M., and you know it’s not good news. The doctor looks at you with somber eyes and takes a long pause. There are words we all dread hearing, words we brace ourselves for. Losses we never want to endure. If you have ever walked through the valleys of life, you understand how easy it can be to question God’s fairness, doubt His power, or even lose your own faith. In those moments, though, we learn to trust God and look for His guidance...And if we look closely, we can all see His divine intervention. Watch Out for Miracles (Carpenter’s Son Publishing) by Janet Tombow is an inspiring collection of true stories of hope and encouragement. With each story, these courageous individuals share their personal stories of sadness, loss, hope, and victory in order to demonstrate that we are not alone and we are never forsaken. Let this collection of encouraging true stories guide your own personal life. Each of us has a story....each of us are faced with unique challenges and struggles.....but in the midst of these circumstances is a loving and all-knowing God who can see you through to personal victory. Available at www.amazon.com

Faith on the Field
It takes more than heart to win a championship. It takes teamwork, equipment, and––most of all––a great coach. In southern Louisiana in 1957, the best coach Ronnie LeBlanc can find for his struggling American Legion Baseball team is black. Based on a true story, Stealing First (Legacy Publishing) by Drew Golden is a tale of poverty; corruption and bias; and, ultimately, a powerful message of honor and camaraderie.
