Here are a few books that are not only new to the bookstores, they were written by newly published authors who are also cyber friends of mine. I thoroughly enjoyed these stories and look forward to seeing them in the bookshops of South Africa.

When you or your loved one face a diagnosis of cancer, and you're in the midst of hospital visits and treatments, you may wonder, Where is God? Where is his love and mercy?

Yvonne Ortega knows these feelings only too well. As a six-and-a-half-year cancer survivor, she offers to walk alongside you with encouragement and compassion gleaned from God's Word.

As a cancer survivor myself, I wish this book had been around when I needed it. Well done Yvonne! Thank you for allowing me to share a little of the journey with you.

read this new book by Marvin Sallee, with Candace Pope.

Wheelchair for Sale

WinePress Publishing

Marvin Sallee, senior pastor of Vinton Baptist Church in rural Ohio, struggled for years to overcome the incurable, neruological disease that banished him to a wheelchair. Despite his determination, and the inspiring faith and support of his wife, family and congregation, he continued to deteriorate.

As Marvin's ministry and life appeared to be drawing to a close, God intervened. The following Sunday, Pastor Sallee stood before his congregation and announced, "I have a wheechair for sale."

If

  • your faith needs to be revitalized;
  • you are stuck in a "wheelchair" of fear, anger, or other spiritual bondage;
  • you need encouragement to persevere through prayer;
  • your church is confined to a "wheelchair" of tradition;
  • you think God only works in mega-churches,
    Wheelchair for Sale is for you. God worked a miracle in the life of this pastor. He also has a powerful plan for your life.
