The Waiting by Cathy LaGrow
The Waiting will touch your heart and make you believe in the power of
prayer.
In 1928, 16-year-old Minka was assaulted, became pregnant and gave the
baby girl up for adoption. After a lifetime of separation, Minka whispered
an impossible prayer for the first time: Lord, I’d like to see my daughter
before I die. What happened next was a miracle. Written by Cathy LaGrow
(Minka’s granddaughter), The Waiting brings three generations of this most unusual
family together over the course of a century in a story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness
that sets us free, and love that never forgets.
Miracle on VooDoo Mountain by Megan Boudreaux
“It took months of God waking me up in the middle of the night before I
realized I was the one He was calling to... move to Haiti.”
Miracle on Voodoo Mountain is the inspirational memoir of an accomplished and driven 24-year old who quit her job, sold everything, and
moved to Haiti, by herself.
God guided her every step as she moved blindly to a foreign land
without knowing the language, the people, or the future. From becoming the adoptive
mother of former child slaves, to receiving the divine gift of the Haitian Creole language,
to starting, building, and running a school for more than 500 children, “the amazingness
of what God did after I made the choice to be obedient is incredible,” said Megan.
Letter’s From My Father’s Murderer by Laurie Coombs
An extraordinary true story of grace, mercy, and the redemptive power of God
When her father was murdered, Laurie Coombs and her family sought
justice—and found it. Yet, despite the swift punishment of the killer,
Laurie found herself increasingly full of pain, bitterness, and anger she
couldn’t control. It was the call to love and forgive her father’s murderer
that set her, the murderer, and several other inmates on the journey that
would truly change their lives forever. This compelling story of transformation will touch
the deepest wounds and show how God can redeem what seems unredeemable.
