4GVN : The Powerful Testimony Of Ghetto Preacher
$3.69Add to cartWilly Ramos is capturing the hearts of youth everywhere. They call him, “The Ghetto Preacher”!
“I was there when my homeboy, Roland Martinez, killed a dude named Manny. I could’ve called the police. I didn’t. I could’ve stopped him. Why didn’t I? Maybe it was my loyalty to the mean streets or my fidelity to our street gang. Or maybe it was just my street knowledge kicking in, saying, ‘See no evil, hear no evil.’
“I didn’t do anything. That Friday, I just froze. Or if I want to be real honest with you, I did do something. Something bad. I watched. I even held him down as Roland stabbed him four times.”
On the streets of Miami, Willy Ramos was known as a gangster, a thief , a drunk. Homeless, sometimes suicidal, he was always ready for a flight. After that Friday, Willy waited in a jail cell, charged with murder.
Today, Willy is charged up with a burning desire to share God’s message of love and forgiveness to people who haven’t been given much hope. His nontraditional , in-your-face type of preaching is reaching people where others don’t even dare to speak.
How can a man change that much? Step into Willy’s shoes and see what God can do. Listen to this ghetto preacher as he presents the truth of the unconditional love of Jesus to a new generation of believers in baggy pants. -

1 Miracle After Another
$24.69Add to cartPavel Goia knew when he was 5 years old that God had called him to speak for Him. Yet by the time Pavel reached his teens, having a good time with friends was far more important to him than his family’s religion. And communist Romania wasn’t exactly friendly to Christians.
But God got his attention one fateful night, and his life took that proverbial U-turn. Pavel made a covenant with God, and his dedication to that covenant was tested almost immediately. But he stayed true, and miracle after miracle followed in behalf of this one young man who trusted every aspect of his life completely to God.
The results of his unwavering loyalty to God? Four thousand pounds of glass suspended midair in a bottomless crate, a law passed by President Ceausescu that forced a university to allow Pavel to continue his education, a large shipment of Bibles smuggled by unsuspecting police, and a dead boy raised to life-just to name a few.
Oh, yes, miracles still happen-one right after another.

Brushed Back : The Trevor Bullock Story
$21.59Add to cartCocky and good-looking, Trevor Bullock was the man. He was a star pitcher, the life of the party, and the girls loved him. Drugs and alcohol were easy to come by in high school, even though his dad was the narcotics captain at the local police department.

But God had something else in mind for His wayward child-it just took a while to get his attention.
Over the next few years Trevor went to college, played ball, went to church sometimes, partied, was baptized, got thrown in jail, signed with the Philadelphia Phillies organization, and met a girl. The girl. And for some reason, Trevor’s relationship with Carissa mirrored his off-and-on relationship with God.
But God was still calling the game-He just had to convince Trevor to quit shaking Him off.

For Mara, life was a literal war zone. Her true story takes us back in time to battle-scarred Serbia in World War I. Violence ripped apart Mara’s family . . . and her heart. When peace comes, at last, Mara seeks a new beginning and settles into a simple country life with Ilija and their growing family.
But a passing remark stirs up a new conflict-this time, in Mara’s conscience. The church of her youth had always provided an oasis from the world’s chaos, and Mara never questioned its teachings.

Whom Shall I Fear is a powerful book that will bring you courage and help you not just survive, but find hope and victory in the battles of life.
