WORDS OF LOVE
. Call it old fashion, but
Simone French was smitten with a love letter. Not a text, email, or
Facebook post, but a love letter sent through snail mail. The prose
wasn’t the corny roses-are-red-and-violets-are-blue stuff. The
first letter contained short accolades for a job well done. Soon
after, the missives were filled with passionate words from a man
who confessed the hidden secrets of his soul. He revealed his
unspoken weaknesses, listed his uncompromising desires, and
unapologetically noted his subtle strengths. Yes, Rice Taylor was
ready to surrender to love.
Whew
. Closing her eyes, Simone
inhaled the faint lingering smell of roses on the beige plain
stationery. She had a testimony. If anyone would listen, she would
proclaim that love was truly blind.

TESTIMONY:
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE.
It
is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because His
compassions fail not. They are new every morning, great is Thy
faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23, God’s mercies are sure; His
promises are fulfilled; but a dawn of a new morning is God’ grace.
If you need a testimony about God’s grace, then If I Should Die
Before I Wake will encourage your soul. Nothing happens in our
lives by chance. If you need a miracle, God’s got that too. Trust
Him. Has it been a while since you’ve had a testimony? Increase
your prayer life, build your faith and walk in victory because
without a test, there is no testimony.

HER DRESS
. Sometimes a woman just wants to
splurge on something new, especially when she’s about to attend an
event with movers and shakers. Find out what happens when Pepper
Trudeau is all dressed up and goes to the ball, but another woman
is modeling the same attire.

At first, Pepper is embarrassed, then the night gets
interesting when she meets Drake Logan.
Her Dress
is a
romantic novella about the all too common occurrence—two women
shopping at the same place. Maybe having the same taste isn’t all
bad. Sometimes a good dress is all you need to meet the man of your
dreams.

When do you know the most important decision of your
life is the right one?

Reaping the seeds from what she's sown; Cheney
Reynolds moves into a historic neighborhood in Ferguson, Missouri,
and becomes a reclusive. Her first neighbor, the incomparable Mrs.
Beatrice Tilley Beacon aka Grandma BB, is an opinionated childless
widow. Grandma BB is a self-proclaimed expert on topics Cheney
isn’t seeking advice—everything from landscaping to hip-hop dancing
to romance. Then there is Parke Kokumuo Jamison VI, a direct
descendant of a royal African tribe. He learned his family
ancestry, African history, and lineage preservation before he could
count. Unwittingly, they are drawn to each other, but it takes
Christ to weave their lives into a spiritual bliss while He
exonerates their past indiscretions.

One man, one woman, one God and one big problem.
Malcolm Jamieson wasn't the man who got away, but the man God
instructed Hallison Dinkins to set free. Instead of their explosive
love affair leading them to the wedding altar, God diverted
Hallison to the prayer altar during her first visit back to church
in years.

Malcolm was convinced that his woman had loss her
mind to break off their engagement. Didn't Hallison know that
Malcolm, a tenth generation descendant of a royal African tribe,
couldn't be replaced? Once Malcolm concedes that their relationship
can't be savaged, he issues Hallison his own edict, "If we're meant
to be with each other, we'll find our way back. If not, that means
that there's a love stronger than what we had." His words begin to
haunt Hallison until she begins to regret their break up, and
that's where their story begins. Someone has to retreat, and God
never loses a battle.

Cheney Reynolds Jamieson made a choice years ago
that is now shaping her future and the future of the men she loves.
A botched abortion left her unable to carry a baby to term, and her
husband, Parke K. Jamison VI, is expected to produce heirs. With a
wife who cannot give him a child, Parke vows to find and get
custody of his illegitimate son by any means necessary. Meanwhile,
Cheney’s twin brother, Rainey, struggles with his anger over his
ex-girlfriend’s actions that haunt him, and their father, Dr.
Roland Reynolds, fights to keep an old secret in the past.

Follow the paths of this family as they try to
determine what God wants for them and how they can follow His
guidance. Still Guilty by Pat Simmons is the third installment of
the popular Guilty series. Read the other books in the series:
Guilty of Love and Not Guilty of Love, and learn more about the
Jamieson legacy in Guilty by Association, The Guilt Trip, and Free
from Guilt. The Acquittal starts off the Guilty Parties series.

THE ACQUITTAL
. Two worlds apart, but their
hearts dance to the same African drum beat. On a professional
level, Dr. Rainey Reynolds is a competent, highly sought-after
orthodontist. Inwardly, he needs to be set free from the chaos of
revelations that make him question if happiness is obtainable. To
get away from the drama, Rainey is willing to leave the country
under the guise of a mission trip with Dentist Without Borders.
Will changing his surroundings really change him? If one woman can
heal his wounds, then he will believe that there is really peace
after the storm.

Ghanaian beauty Josephine Abena Yaa Amoah returns to
Africa after completing her studies as an exchange student in St.
Louis, Missouri. Although her heart bleeds for his peace, she knows
she must step back and pray for Rainey’s surrender to Christ in
order for God to acquit him of his self-inflicted mental torture.
In the Motherland of Ghana, Africa, Rainey not only visits the
places of his ancestors, will he embrace the liberty that Christ’s
Blood really does set every man free.

THE CONFESSION
. Sandra Nicholson, Kidd and
Ace Jamieson’s mother is on the threshold of happiness, but Kidd
believes no man is good enough for his mother, especially if her
love interest could be a man just like his absentee father.
