A Soul Redeemed
by Deacon Alfred Fox
Having been shuffl ed around among various family
members throughout his childhood to an adolescence
spent in and out of juvenile correctional facilities,
Alfred Fox learned how to survive on the streets and
deal with incarceration. Against the backdrop of the
Detroit Riots and the political upheaval of the Civil
Rights Movement, Fox found himself young, married,
and still on the wrong side of the law. Throughout
it all, though, Fox has held on to the loving promises
of his Heavenly Father, and instead of succumbing
to the despair that could have overtaken him, he has
motivated and encouraged those around him to reach
their God-given potential and dream beyond their real
or imagined prison walls. With honest personal
narratives and heartfelt poetry spanning everything
from his love for his wife to life in prison to the majesty
of Black history, Fox inspires us all to seek God fi rst
and never underestimate the power of His place in our
lives.

Once Upon A Miracle
by Wanda D. Baylis
Wanda anxiously awaited the day she would finally give birth to her baby daughter. But as the doctor began to perform what seemed to be a rather routine C-section, Wanda heard the most terrifying and unexpected words she could have imagined:
“Where’s the baby? The baby is not in the uterus!”
Alexis Lynn Nicole (Nikki), grew for 7 months in her mother’s stomach—literally, not in her uterus—but in her abdomen. Unprotected by her mother’s womb, her entire left side was crushed. With wit and inspiration from her Grandmamma; Wanda courageously faced and is now sharing with others, in her book, Once Upon a Miracle, how to overcome life’s biggest challenges with a smile.
Wanda decided that she would give Nikki a lifetime of love in whatever time she was allowed to have her in this earth. Nikki’s life was a short 7 ½ weeks, before she finally succumbed to the unique challenges that accompanied her miraculous birth. Nikki’s courage and fighting spirit provided inspiration and joy to everyone who knew her. She even taught the most staunch unbelievers that it’s not over ‘til God says it’s over.
Once Upon a Miracle is a true story of a mother’s love and great faith. It will cause you to—laugh, cry, believe in miracles again and to come to understand that with God all things are possible!

Phenomenal Woman: The Dora Stockman Story
It is often while we are striving forward on one path that we stumble across and even greater road—and so it was with Margaret O’Rourke-Kelly. While working on her own campaign for a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives, O’Rourke-Kelly came across the records of Dora Hall-Stockman, the first woman to hold office in Michigan. This began her fascination with this often-overlooked historical figure but through Hall-Stockman’s plays, stories, poetry, songs and overwhelming contributions to the agricultural community, she has created an intriguing biography of a strong, patriotic woman of God, often ahead of her time, who overcame the constraints of her life and times to make a lasting contribution to American society.

Spilling the Beans of Jesus
Written by LaVerne Moore-Salughter
This is a book complied of my personal encounters with God. It is written to inform the skeptics, the believers and nonbelievers, and those who are not sure what to believe when it comes to the unexplainable. I know that God is real. I have had encounters through dreams, visions, and discernment, auditory and inspirational writing. God can use any of us to warn others about unexpected events.
Since moving to Florida after several losses in my life, God has had the opportunity to use me beyond my imagination.
I have had several encounters with God that have proven to be true. At times I wasn’t sure what to say to the persons that God was directing me to talk to. I was afraid, and I doubted myself. I would get the same question asked over and over again, "How do you know these thing about me?"
My response is always the same, "I cannot explain it, it’s God’s business. It’s not about me, It’s all about Him. I’m just Spilling The Beans on Jesus.

Poppy:A Story of Courage, Determination sand Faith
ByDr. Horace L. Stewart
Courage + Determination + Faith = Dreams Realized
Have you ever wanted something and all the cards seemed to be stacked
against you? What if you were born at the wrong time, the wrong color, and on
the wrong side of the tracks? But something inside of you knew you were
destined for more than an average life. You wanted a life for yourself and
your family that would positively impact generations to come. So you set
aside fear and apprehension and courageously move toward your dream.
With sheer determination you start out. No matter how difficult or humbling
the tasks you won’t give up, even though the circumstances dictate
that you should. Now you are off and running so you think—but the next
step runs you smack into a wall. Everything you worked for and dreamed
of slips through your fingers. To add insult to injury; a series of events
caused by your choices inadvertently leads to the death of your only son.
In order to bounce back from this last blow it takes something greater
than yourself—it takes faith. You take that leap and start moving toward your
dreams one more time. You know that you still have it in you to do something
significant with your life. So you try again and this time your dreams
are realized.
You are Never too Old or too Young to Dream
Poppy: A Story of Courage, Determination and Faith spans seven of
the most difficult decades in American history and the life of Dr. Horace L.
Stewart, one of eighteen black men specifically selected
in the 1940s to integrate Air Force Basic Training.
In his life he experienced segregation to integration,
the Great Depression and World War II. Dr. Stewart
self-described as a gangly dark skinned colored boy
went from the cotton fields of central Texas, to high
school dropout, to airman, to teacher, to doctorate in
education which proves that anything is possible with
courage, determination and faith.

"I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me."
- Civilla Martin
That Saturday began like any
other day for mother of three
and registered nurse Rebecca
Boone Kozowyk. After spending
the day training to become a
certified CPR instructor, she
returned home to a family
barbecue with her husband, sons
and parents. When her sixteen year-
old son, David, asked her
for the truck keys to drive his
girlfriend home she handed them
to him without a second thought.
Just a few hours later she and her husband were awakened
by a neighbor informing them that David had been in a
terrible wreck on the way home, and he was being airlifted
to a level one trauma center.
The grave news awaiting them when they arrived at the
hospital was devastating; David had suffered a catastrophic
brain injury, both of his lungs were collapsed and badly
bruised. They were told to gather their family together and
begin making final arrangements for their son, because he
would not survive his injuries.
With nowhere else to turn, Rebecca placed all of her faith
and hope in God and cried out to Him. Her desperate prayer
for her son’s survival and recovery set forth a miraculous
chain of events that would take her and her son on a journey
from completely shattered to Beautifully Broken.
