This modern-day telling of the
Ten Commandments chronicles the lives of four different people. Set in Los
Angeles, everyone’s lives intersect and each person is faced with profound
choices that will test their morality and faith. A mysterious stranger guides
them as each person searches for answers. They discover that the way to
salvation is closer than they could have imagined.
As Thanksgiving wraps up, people focus on the next holiday with renewed vigor. But in all the hustle and bustle that comes with this time of the year, it's important that we remember and reflect on what's really important about Christmas. Unwrapping His Presence will help you do just that.
Author Chris Maxwell, campus pastor of Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Ga., offers a collection of short
stories, poems, artwork and articles about the true meaning of this holiday. With artwork by Brent Chitwood and stories from Mary DeMent, Maxwell reminds readers of Jesus, while also acknowledging that we face a lot of busyness and pressure during December. He also offers lessons to be learned during what is for some is not a season of joy and peace, but is filled with pain and sadness.

In Through It All, He Was There:
An Inspirational Story of Faith, author Sharon Libby reveals her life's
remarkable faith journey in learning to accept the will of God, trust His
guiding hand, and embrace His powerful love. Having contracted polio at the
tender age of six, Sharon has been confined to a wheelchair for over 50
years--a lifetime experience that taught her how to triumph as a handicapped
person in an able-bodied world. Interwoven throughout this personal narrative
the author traces the history of the disabled in American society as she
grappled with her own everyday adversities that challenge her throughout her life
and have defined her as being different.
Sharon has been a strong
vocal advocate for the disabled, including her current pursuit of creating and
maintaining an outreach for the disabled on her website at www.sharonlibby.com.
With the release of her heart-rending new publication, she hopes to further the
work of helping others recognize that handicapped people are equally worthy
participants in American society.
Sharon Libby says,
"Life is a series of choices that can contribute to or alter the degree of
adversities that life has to offer. Through every challenge and every
unanswered question, there is a reason, a purpose, and eventually an answer to
why things happen. The human spirit can prevail even when bad choices are made
if faith in God's presence in our lives is not lost."
Dr. Orval C. Butcher, founding minister at Skyline
Wesleyan Church, Lemon Grove, CA endorsed Through It All, He Was There, by writing: “It is my conviction that
this book should be read by everyone to help them understand the emotional
testing of a person who experiences the trauma of being stricken with a
disability as a child. Imagine the FRIGHT of a six-year-old paralyzed and
unable to walk due to polio… the indescribable value of FAMILY, parents and
grandparents, unfailing support… then a lonely 15-year-old with FAULTY
discernment in making marriage decisions… at that time FAVORED with two
precious boys… then experienced the sense of absolute FRUSTRATION when
neglected by the church and Christian friends… but had constant hope of FAITH
in the Word of God… then divine FULFILLMENT of marital happiness. The reading
of this book will give you a new focus on the power an enabling of our Lord.”
