COMING MAY 2012

Aidah Nsereko of Kampala, Uganda, vividly recalls the afternoon in 2006, while seated in a hair salon, when she passed from life to death, then back to life again. In exquisite detail, she describes watching her spirit depart from her body, pass through a series of supernatural realms – including Heaven and Hell – and then return to life on earth.

Along her astonishing journey, Aidah encountered each member of the trinity: God the father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit. And she was given a powerful message to take back with her and to share with the world.

The urgency of that message alights Aidah’s passion daily, to preach and evangelize until every soul has the opportunity to put their eternal hope in Jesus Christ and partake of the wondrous place she experienced first-hand. Learn More

Peter VandenBosch thought he had it all. He was 67 years old, happily married and successfully retired. He had homes in two states and a yacht for deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. In November 1990, while grouper fishing off the Florida coast, he heard a voice: “Peter, there is more to life than this.” For weeks he told no one, not even his wife. When he finally told her, her response was unexpected—and it changed his life.

Earth Angels is the story of Peter VandenBosch’s spiritual journey from the dust bowl of the Great Depression to the Rotunda of the nation’s Capitol. There, in 2007, congressmen and senators from both sides of the aisle honored him as the founder of Wings of Mercy, a faith-based, volunteer organization that flies low-income patients to life-saving medical centers like the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

It's a book about the heroic pilots who volunteer their time to transport patients in need of specialized, often urgent, medical care. It’s about the patients whose lives they have saved. And it’s about people like us—some in their retirement years—who have found fulfillment by serving people in need in other ways.

We all have an inner calling. If you listen, you just may change a life – quite possibly you will change your own! Learn More

Based on years of research, Doug McMurry tells the story of a Christian spiritual awakening among the Columbia Plateau tribes, rising out of early tribal prophecies pointing to Jesus. It shows how God used both white and Native leaders to draw people to Himself. It portrays two men who crossed the Rocky Mountains in opposite directions at roughly the same time: the Christian trapper-mapper Jedediah Smith; and Spokan Garry, the first Christian evangelist in the American West.

The Forgotten Awakening intertwines these two stories, showing how God used two men from opposite cultures to convey His vision for this continent. If God was drawing white easterners to Jesus during the Second Great Awakening, He was working just as powerfully among Western tribes during those same years. This story will shatter our preconceptions of Western history.
