Ada's Rules: A Sexy Skinny Novel
by Alice Randall

Bloomsbury Publishing

 

Ada Howard, the wife of the preacher at Nashville’s Full Love Baptist Tabernacle, has a whole lot of people to take care of. There’s her husband, of course, and the flock that comes with him, plus the kids at the day care where she works, two grown daughters, and two ailing parents. It’s no wonder she can’t find time to take care of herself. And her husband’s been so busy lately, she’s suspicious some other woman may be taking care of him . . .

Then it comes: the announcement of her twenty-five-year college reunion in twelve months’ time, signed with a wink by her old flame. Ada gets to thinking about the thrills of young love lost, and the hundred or so pounds gained since her college days, and she decides it’s high time for a health and beauty revival. So she starts laying down some rules. The first rule is: Don’t Keep Doing What You’ve Always Been Doing. And so begins a long journey toward a new look and a new perspective—on what she wants, and on what she’s always had.

“Ada’s Rules is a novel for anyone who has ever wanted to take control of her life. With loveable characters, whip-smart dialogue, and a plot that will leave you breathless, Alice Randall has written a story about how we really live. There is love on these pages— tough love, but tender at the same time.” —Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow

“Ada’s Rules might be a diet book disguised as a novel, and it might be a novel disguised as a diet book, but I guarantee it will make you laugh and make you think, while it nudges you oh-so-gently in the direction of a brand new way to think about and celebrate your body.” —Pearl Cleage, author of What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day

Kosher Kill
by Sterling Anthony


Anthony’s debut best-seller, Cookie Cutter, introduced protagonist, Lieutenant “Bloody” Mary Cunningham, of the Detroit homicide unit. Mary returns in the sequel, Kosher Kill, wherein she has to solve a series of murders. Each victim is murdered in the same manner; however, it’s anything but obvious why that particular signature and what it says about the killer’s motives and possible future victims. And, once again, Anthony creates a serial killer who’s complex and compelling, rather than one built on the stereotype of the mindlessly bloodthirsty killer.

There are themes and sub-plots, all related, and Anthony nicely ties them together. Not content to stop there, he supplies various twists and surprises. Overall, the plotting is tight and care has to be taken in providing specifics, lest they serve as spoilers, however, here are a few: breast cancer; suffering and dying; assisted-suicide; civil rights; religion; and, courtroom drama. That’s a motley list of ingredients, but Anthony cooks them into a reader’s feast.

Kosher Kill—almost 500 pages—is longer than its predecessor. Even so, it’s an entertaining, fast read because the pacing never drags. The reader is inserted into the middle of events at the beginning of each chapter, challenged by pertinent information, and then whisked to the next chapter, all the way to the climax, one that’s not easily predicted but nonetheless believable and satisfying.

 

Sterling Anthony is a management consultant and a former university instructor. His first novel was Cookie Cutter, with protagonist, Lieutenant "Bloody" Mary Cunningham, of the Detroit homicide unit, and it made a number of best-seller lists. Anthony returned Mary in his second novel, Kosher Kill, which was the February 2012 featured title of Myst Noir, the website devoted to suspense novels written by African-American authors. For his next novel, Anthony plans to enter the horror genre.

101 Easy Ways To Lose A Good Man
Without Cheating on Him
by Lady Bee

 

  They say good men are hard to find, and there aren't any more out there. Maybe you are one of those lucky women who have actually been able to lock down a Good Man. Initially, that was great news, but now you're finding that a Good Man is a lot more trouble than he's worth. I mean really, who wants to put up with a Good Man every single day? Sheesh!

If you have been scratching your head trying to figure out ways to get rid of your Good Man, help has arrived! I, Lady Bee have compiled for you 101 very effective and easy-to-implement strategies that are guaranteed to get rid of your Good Man. The best part is NONE of the strategies require you to cheat on your Good Man, or even come close to being in a compromising position.

While these strategies are randomly listed, you will find that they cover a number of categories such as family, sex, money, respect, home interaction, and involving other people. This will allow you to tailor your strategy to lose your Good Man to one that will work best for you and your situation.

It is important that you realize that utilizing only a handful of these strategies will produce lackluster results, even though some are very powerful when used alone (for example, see Number 75). However, if you really want to lose your Good Man, you must put several of them in action at the same time. Implementing just a small handful of them isn't going to cut it; grab the bull by the horns and make your Good Man leave you! I guarantee that if you use these strategies as outlined, your Good Man will be gone before you know it. If he doesn't leave you, he will at least cheat on you, then you can blame the failure of your relationship all on him and take none of the responsibility (see Number 55).

As you read, you may find that you are already doing some of these actions without realizing the impact that you are making. If so, you have unknowingly already started the process of making your Good Man leave you. Your Good Man might be packing his bags right now. Congratulations! For the rest of you ladies, read on.

Forever Soul Ties
by Vanessa Davis Griggs

Dafina Books


“I absolutely love Vanessa’s unique writing style. She is one of a kind.” —Mary Monroe, New York Times bestselling author

When one woman is caught in the act of her greatest transgression, it’s the beginning of her greatest transformation…

It started innocently: a coincidental meeting between old high school friends—first loves—at Butterfly’s business, The Painted Lady Flower Shop. Then came lunch, then confessions of unhappy marriages, loneliness. It went on that way for years between Butterfly and Ethan. That’s how they built the soul tie—the bond that, despite their devotion to God, has now led to adultery. And as with all things done in secret, they’ve been found out. Well, Butterfly has.

As a leader in her church, Butterfly is suddenly cast into the spotlight. But she soon realizes she’s being used as a pawn to bring down a new pastor—a young man who is upsetting tradition by preaching about real-life issues real people deal with. People like Butterfly. And as she faces a challenging search for truth, forgiveness, and the real meaning of love, she may finally break out of her cocoon…

“There are enough tears, hugs, and lessons learned before summer's over to appease readers, young and adult, who like a good dose of faith with their fiction.” —Publishers Weekly on Ray of Hope

“Griggs address[es] the challenges of living by Biblical rules with homespun humor. Fans will be pleased.” —Publishers Weekly on The Truth Is the Light

“A smart novel that addresses an issue that many in the church shy away from—divorce—with frank realism.”—Library Journal on Practicing What You Preach

“Vanessa’s rich stories of faith in action always hit the writing trifecta—they make you laugh, cry, and yearn for more.” —Angela Benson, National bestselling author

The Choir Director
by Carl Weber

Dafina Books

 

New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber takes readers back to church, where preaching isn’t always enough, nothing goes better with the Word than a song—and it’s time for some hard-earned lessons in love, brotherhood, and betrayal.

Bishop T.K. Wilson has done all he can to make First Jamaica Ministries a success. But with his last choir director getting caught in a scandal, attendance and cash flow are down. To fill the pews and collection plates, Bishop is counting on a new choir director, the charismatic Aaron Mackie, to revive the church.

Aaron Mackie had been waiting his entire life for the opportunity to prove that he has what it takes to be a big-time choir director like Kirk Franklin. But while Aaron is more than up to the challenge, his ways around women, both past and present, could cost him more than his job.

 



Simone Wilcox is just one of the women who’s caught Aaron’s attention. She’s smart, beautiful and sexy, along with being a highly respected church trustee. She’s got her eye on the new choir director, with the intention of having a lot more on him, and she doesn’t plan on letting anyone get in her way.

First Lady Monique Wilson is far from being the typical first lady. She does and says what she wants, and doesn’t subscribe to church politics. Despite her shortcomings and a past rumored to include a long list of men, she’s willing to do just about anything to protect the Bishop.

The members of First Jamaica Ministries are also keeping the Bishop busy with choir in-fighting, romantic jealousies, and personal vendettas. You’d think the Bishop was being tested enough, but a final piece of the puzzle has yet to be revealed: Someone has been robbing the church blind. Someone whose connection to the Bishop is far too close for comfort. . . .

Indigo
In Search of the Color That Seduced the World
by Catherine E. McKinley
Bloomsbury

 

For almost five millennia, in every culture and in every major religion, indigo—a blue pigment obtained from the small green leaf of a parasitic shrub through a complex process that even scientists still regard as mysterious—has been at the center of turbulent human encounters.

Indigo is the story of this precious dye and its ancient heritage: its relationship to slavery as the “hidden half” of the transatlantic slave trade, its profound influence on fashion, and its spiritual significance, which is little recognized but no less alive today. It is an untold story, brimming with rich, electrifying tales of those who shaped the course of colonial history and a world economy.

But Indigo is also the story of a personal quest: Catherine McKinley is the descendant of a clan of Scots who wore indigo tartan as their virile armor; the kin of several generations of Jewish “rag traders”; the maternal granddaughter of a Massachusetts textile factory owner; and the paternal granddaughter of African slaves—her ancestors were traded along the same Saharan routes as indigo, where a length of blue cotton could purchase human life. McKinley’s journey in search of beauty and her own history ultimately leads her to a new and satisfying path, to finally “taste life.” With its four-color photo insert and sumptuous design, Indigo will be as irresistible to look at as it is to read.

Author Bio
Catherine McKinley is the author of The Book of Sarahs. She is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, where she has taught Creative Nonfiction, and a former Fulbright Scholar in Ghana, West Africa, where she began her research on indigo. She lives in New York City.

New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe presents an unforgettable tale featuring Mama Ruby, the indomitable heroine of her acclaimed novel The Upper Room. Now readers will get a peek into Ruby’s early years, as she transforms from a spoiled small-town girl into one of the South’s most notorious and volatile women…

Growing up in Shreveport, Louisiana, Ruby Jean Upshaw is the kind of girl who knows what she wants and knows how to get it. By the time she’s fifteen, Ruby has developed a taste for fast men and cheap liquor, and not even her preacher daddy can set her straight. Most everyone in the neighborhood knows you don’t cross Ruby. Only Othella Mae Cartier, daughter of the town tramp, understands what makes Ruby tick.

When Ruby discovers she’s in the family way, she’s scared for the first time in her life. After hiding her growing belly with baggy dresses, Ruby secretly gives birth to a baby girl at Othella’s house. With few choices, Othella talks Ruby into giving the child away—and with the help of a shocking revelation, convinces Ruby to run off with her to New Orleans.

But nothing can erase Ruby’s memories of the child she lost—or quell her simmering rage at Othella for persuading her to let her precious baby go. If there’s a fine line between best friend and worst nightmare, Ruby is surely treading it. Because someday, there will be a reckoning. And when it comes, Othella will learn the hard way that no one knows how to exact revenge quite like Ruby Jean Upshaw…

From New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe comes a poignant and passionate new novel featuring lifelong friends Annette Goode Davis and Rho da O’Toole–two women whose best intentions don’t always yield the best results.

Even though her life has its ups and downs, Annette Goode Davis feels lucky. Most of all, Annette is grateful that her husband, Pee Wee, took her back after he discovered she was having an affair. The trouble is, while Pee Wee agreed to give Annette another chance, she’s not sure his heart is really in it. Rhoda is quick to point out that Annette got herself into this mess, so she has to be patient until Pee Wee forgives her. But time may be running out.

Annette’s suspicions are confirmed when Pee Wee moves out—and in with his new lady. She takes the news hard and so does her daughter, Charlotte. Annette won’t let her family go without a fight, but she also knows she must prepare for the worst—because one lesson she’s learned all too well is that when life kicks you in the teeth, you have to come out swinging.

High on the Hog
A Culinary Journey from Africa to America
by Jessica B. Harris

forward by Maya Angelou
Bloomsbury Press

 

The grande dame of African American cookbooks stakes her claim as a culinary historian with a narrative history of African American cuisine.

Acclaimed cookbook author Jessica B. Harris has spent much of her life researching the food and foodways of the African Diaspora. High on the Hog is the culmination of years of her work, and the result is a most engaging history of African American cuisine. Harris takes the reader on a harrowing journey from Africa across the Atlantic to America, tracking the trials that the people and the food have undergone along the way. From chitlins and ham hocks to fried chicken and vegan soul, Harris celebrates the delicious and restorative foods of the African American experience and details how each came to form such an important part of African American culture, history, and identity. Although the story of African cuisine in America begins with slavery, High on the Hog ultimately chronicles a thrilling history of triumph and survival. The work of a masterful storyteller and an acclaimed scholar, Jessica B. Harris's High on the Hog fills an important gap in our culinary history.

Praise for Jessica B. Harris
"Jessica Harris masters the ability to both educate and inspire the reader in a fascinating new way." -Marcus Samuelsson, chef owner of Restaurant Aquavit

A Faithful Account of the Race:
African American Historical Writing in Nineteenth-Century America (The John Hope Franklin Series in African American History and Culture)
by Stephen G. Hall
The University of North Carolina Press  


The civil rights and black power movements expanded popular awareness of the history and culture of African Americans. But, as Stephen Hall observes, African American authors, intellectuals, ministers, and abolitionists had been writing the history of the black experience since the 1800s. With this book, Hall recaptures and reconstructs a rich but largely overlooked tradition of historical writing by African Americans.

Hall charts the origins, meanings, methods, evolution, and maturation of African American historical writing from the period of the Early Republic to the twentieth-century professionalization of the field of historical study. He demonstrates how these works borrowed from and engaged with mainstream intellectual movements including the Enlightenment, Romanticism, Realism, and Modernism. Hall also explores the creation of discursive spaces that simultaneously reinforced and offered counternarratives to more mainstream historical discourse. He sheds fresh light on the influence of the African Diaspora on the development of historical study. In so doing, he provides a holistic portrait of African American history informed by developments within and outside the African American community.

True Confessions by Electa Rome Parks

Twenty-eight year old Kennedy Logan is gorgeous, educated, talented, and in love. Unfortunately, Drake Collins has other ideas about the true state of their relationship. Kennedy hopes to turn him around; Drake just wants to turn her out sexually. Kennedy is also searching for her biological mother, who gave her up at birth. She wants answers and she has tons of questions. The enormous weight of these predicaments leads to a failed suicide attempt.

Her overprotective and overbearing mother, Dorothy Logan, moves in with Kennedy and makes it her mission to get her daughter's life back in order. The first step is getting rid of Drake Collins once and for all, but that's easier said than done. Drake has no intentions of going anywhere. Kennedy's ever loyal and fun-loving best friend, Taylor, and her absentee father join forces to help support Kennedy in her time of need.

At her psychiatrist's advice, Kennedy uses writing as her therapy. She starts to keep a daily journal detailing the erotic circumstances and family drama that led up to her despair. Through very personal, funny, and graphic entries, readers will share her confessions. Brace yourselves for a very steamy journey!

The Choir Director
by Carl Weber

Dafina Books

 

New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber takes readers back to church, where preaching isn’t always enough, nothing goes better with the Word than a song—and it’s time for some hard-earned lessons in love, brotherhood, and betrayal.

Bishop T.K. Wilson has done all he can to make First Jamaica Ministries a success. But with his last choir director getting caught in a scandal, attendance and cash flow are down. To fill the pews and collection plates, Bishop is counting on a new choir director, the charismatic Aaron Mackie, to revive the church.

Aaron Mackie had been waiting his entire life for the opportunity to prove that he has what it takes to be a big-time choir director like Kirk Franklin. But while Aaron is more than up to the challenge, his ways around women, both past and present, could cost him more than his job.

Simone Wilcox is just one of the women who’s caught Aaron’s attention. She’s smart, beautiful and sexy, along with being a highly respected church trustee. She’s got her eye on the new choir director, with the intention of having a lot more on him, and she doesn’t plan on letting anyone get in her way.

First Lady Monique Wilson is far from being the typical first lady. She does and says what she wants, and doesn’t subscribe to church politics. Despite her shortcomings and a past rumored to include a long list of men, she’s willing to do just about anything to protect the Bishop.

The members of First Jamaica Ministries are also keeping the Bishop busy with choir in-fighting, romantic jealousies, and personal vendettas. You’d think the Bishop was being tested enough, but a final piece of the puzzle has yet to be revealed: Someone has been robbing the church blind. Someone whose connection to the Bishop is far too close for comfort. . . .

CARL WEBER is the New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen novels and short stories. A life-long reader, Weber wanted to write stories about ordinary people who have crazy things happen in their lives. Now, when he’s not connecting with readers through his books and his two book store chains, Urban Knowledge and Beach Reads, Weber is finding new talent for his publishing company, Urban Books. He graduated from Virginia State University with a bachelor’s in accounting and has an MBA in marketing from the University of Virginia. Readers can visit Carl’s website, www.carlweber.net, and e-mail him at urbanbooks@hotmail.com.

Walking Among the Kudzu
by H. Victoria Hargro Atkerson

Xlibris Corporation


Following her debut "Stones Along The Path, Part 1 & 2," Atkerson's unbridled talent has spun another tantalizing, visceral, and unflinching ta
le. The nation's tumultuous Civil Rights Movement of the 60's coupled with the fitful, unmanageable crispation of the kudzu vines, common in Atlanta, Georgia, prove to be a captivating setting for the novel’s heroine, Shelby Reed.

The reader accompanies Shelby from an unwanted daughter in Chicago to her shipment to relatives in Atlanta, Georgia. The enmity between Shelby and her mother in Chicago only begs for a better life for her in Atlanta. Her childhood through motherhood is truthfully and poignantly laid bare in all its richness. She says, "I have spent my whole life looking for love and craving acceptance," an apt reply is, "You certainly did."

By way of prose that is lyrical and precise, the author breathes life into an array of characters who are colorful, loveable, and at times downright despicable, but never uninteresting. You will love Mom Moses, who is the matriarch. She is well geared with a panoply of weapons to defend and protect those she loves. Mr. Marshall, "Bubba," is a talented and respected lawyer whose white skin at times does not adequately restrain his black inner soul. Then, there's Andre. His dubious sexual identity is confusing to everyone but himself. He knows he's a lady. His glib retorts and mannerisms are great comical reliefs at just the right time.

"Walking Among The Kudzu" is solidly packed with anguish, pathos, unrequited love, humor, and the supernatural. What about the kudzu vine? Early on, Shelby is told, "They have a mind of their own. They grow wild… just like us." Walking Among The Kudzu" is no leisurely stroll, it's a multi-tiered romp!

The Two-Edged Sword
by Donald W. Tucker

Dog Ear Publishing


For Donald W. Tucker, life from the get-go was a two-edged sword—a “damned if you do/ damned if you don’t” black & white shades & wing-tips jungle existence of working the streets of Southside Chicago undercover (“with no cover”) as a Federal narcotics and Secret Service agent. Tucker was quick, sharp and street smart.

The Two-Edged Sword is a grim, gutsy, raw in-your-face first-hand account of what it was like to be Black and work as an undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (now called the DEA), and United States Secret Service from 1961-1990—some of the toughest years in this country’s history of Civil Rights.

Tucker’s life story reads like a best-selling 007 whodunit, more fiction than fact—yet all of it really happened.

“Too many times the risks were far greater than anticipated, but I was young and dumb,” writes Tucker. “I didn’t know what I was doing until I felt a .45 slammed against my head.

When your life is a two-edged sword, you learn to tread carefully or to live with the consequences. This gritty, first-hand account tells what it was like to be black and work as an undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (now the DEA) and U.S. Secret Service during the civil rights movement and beyond. Tucker rose through the ranks to become one of this country’s foremost Federal Law Enforcement Administrators and reformers.

The Two-Edged Sword tells Tucker’s story starting with growing up on the Southside of Chicago to his work as an undercover agent for the Chicago Federal Bureau of Narcotics and the discrimination he faced.

Wading Home: A Novel of New Orleans
by Roslyn Story

Agate Bolden


As the shadow of Hurricane Katrina looms, Simon Fortier knows how he plans to face the storm—in his long-time home in the city's Treme neighborhood, just as he did through so many storms before. But when Katrina's waters rise and the city’s broken levees cause devastating floods, Simon disappears.      

 

It is up to his son Julian, a celebrated but down-on-his-luck trumpeter, to find him. Julian rushes home to the city he left years before, to search for a father with whom he'd been on difficult terms over preparing for the hurricane. Julian’s return to New Orleans brings him back in touch with figures from his past, loves and enemies both, and as his search for Simon takes him to the rural plot where Simon grew up, Julian is drawn deep into its troubles. While he tries to come to grips with his father's likely fate and struggles to regain his trumpet chops, Julian slowly gains a deeper, richer understanding of the father with whom he'd been at odds.

 

Wading Home is an important book about one of America’s most important cities, veiled in the form of a captivating page-turner. Lyrical, accessible, compelling, and populated by a broad, fully realized cast of supporting characters, its timeless story tells how this son strives to save his father: shaken to the core by the devastation of a city, he discovers the true meaning of home, family, and history.

 

Its recent selection to the Essence Book Club for the month of November solidifies Wading Home’s status as one of the most powerful post-Katrina New Orleans novels; one that truly captures the full scope of the storm’s impact both on the city and the people within it.

The Skin I’m In
by Jenelle

AuthorHouse


In her riveting new novel, The Skin I’m In, Jenelle uses fictional characters to highlight an issue within the black community: skin tone.

Asia Washington is a dark-skinned black girl growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y. When she graduates high school, she moves in with her aunt, Lonnie, who is more like a sister to her because of their proximity in age. Trying to escape her father’s strict rules, Asia settles in with Lonnie and begins to make a life for herself.

When Asia meets jazz musician Arthur Greer, she falls in love instantly and the couple move in together after a year of dating. After several months, Asia becomes pregnant. She’s ecstatic and fervently hopes for a son. Unfortunately, she has a daughter and is not pleased – to say the least. Jenelle writes:

The problem was that Asia didn’t particularly care for little girls. She didn’t hate them, she just couldn’t relate to them. When the doctor told her that she’d given birth to a beautiful seven pound two ounce baby girl, Asia looked as if she’d just been told she had the plague. And when she first held her, looking down at this beautiful little girl with the light skin and the curly black hair, Asia cried for hours. As a matter of fact she cried for damn near two weeks after she came home from the hospital.

Naming the little girl Imani, Asia assumes that the child’s light skin will darken as she grows older. Much to her dismay, this never happens and over time Asia pays less and less attention to her beautiful daughter, harboring a strong resentment over her light skin. Every time she looks at Imani, all Asia can see is a reminder of all the people who had picked on her and harassed her for her dark skin, particularly in high school.

The Skin I’m In follows Asia, Imani and Lonnie throughout the years. Jenelle weaves the details of their lives with a social commentary on racial disparities within the black community. Readers will identify with a relatable cast of supporting characters and find themselves drawn in by their stories. Follow them as they learn to love themselves for who they are in the pages of The Skin I’m In.

Jenelle is the youngest of five children and was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. In 1988, she relocated to Silver Spring, Md., where she still resides today. Jenelle works as an accounts payable assistant for a major newspaper. The Skin I’m In is her first book, and she is currently at work on Sylvia’s Boys, to be released in summer 2010. And Words And Music, to be released in spring of 2011.

Drama With a Capital D
Denise Coleman

Melodrama Publishing


When Drama Knocks, Are You Gonna Answer?

Lonnie, a strong, independent, career-minded sista isn’t one for drama or unnecessary bull. In fact, she’s not even sure if having a man in her life is worth the trouble it can cause. However, when she meets John, everything changes, and her comfortable life as a single career woman goes flying out the window. She’s in love, and things couldn’t be better.

Then all hell breaks loose.

The man who seemed like her dream come true soon becomes the nightmare she can’t wake up from. John’s sexcapades with the hood rat of the month soon turn from casual to serious, and Lonnie kicks him to the curb to refocus on herself and her career.

But drama rears its ugly head yet again when it shows up at her job. Lonnie goes from the put-together woman in charge to a petty, dramatic diva, and soon, she doesn’t recognize herself. Will she be able to pull it together before she loses everything, or has she been marked with the curse of Drama With a Capital D?

Little Girl Lost: The Return of Johnnie Wise
by Keith Lee Johnson

Dare to Imagine Publishing


With the smell of burning wood and bricks lingering in the cool morning breeze, Johnnie Wise left New Orleans while her home was still smoldering. She had just been acquitted of murdering Sharon Trudeau, one of her former stocker brokers who had stolen a substantial amount of her nest egg. Broke with nothing but the clothes on her back and the shoes on her feet, Johnnie heads to East St. Louis to live with her father. But as fate would have it, car trouble along the way, forces her to stop in Jackson, Mississippi, where she meets handsome Paul Masterson, a roughneck evangelistic preacher who falls for her. Johnnie doesn't know that Earl Shamus is having her followed. Private Detective, Tony Hatcher, is watching her every move and reporting it all back to Earl, who dreams of being a big part of her life again. Will Johnnie give into the trappings of being a kept woman who wants for nothing? Or, will she reject his offer and try to rebuild her fortune the old-fashioned way?

A native of Toledo, Ohio, Keith Lee Johnson is the author of 11 novels including the Little Girl Lost series, all of which are currently in the Black Expressions top 100. He began writing purely by accident when a literature professor unwittingly challenged his ability to tell a credible story in class one day. He picked up a pen that very day and has been writing ever since. Upon graduating from high school in June 1978, Johnson joined the United States Air Force the following September and attained a Top Secret security clearance. His articles have been featured in Insight Magazine. After turning down an offer from Urban Books to continue the Little Girl Lost series, he opened his own house, Dare To Imagine Publishing, and has plans to publish the series himself for the foreseeable future. The Return of Johnnie Wise is the first release, but it won't be the last. Be on the look out for Johnnie Wise: In the Line of Fire in the fall of 2010. He has plans to start a line of novels titled: The Men of the Little Girl Lost series early 2011.

Handfuls of Purpose
by Zebedee King

Xlibris

 

 

 Ladies, are you stuck in a revolving door of disappointing relationships? Are you settling for a love that is less than you deserve? Is your present relationship really the best that you can do? A better question is, “Is this the best that God has for you?”

Some ladies may be waiting on God for the man of their dreams but what does a God-sent man look like, anyway, and what does it take for you to position yourself for Mr. Right?

Others feel that love has betrayed and even eluded them. Some have suffered a lost love. Can Love really love again? There are so many questions that require answers. Thankfully, the book “Handfuls of Purpose” provides answers to some of these heartfelt inquiries.

The book takes the reader on a journey through various seasons in the lives of three ordinary people: Ruth, the widow from Moab, Naomi, the distraught matriarch of a household decimated by death and Boaz, the wealthy landowner from Bethlehem-judah. While each has his/her own paths to navigate in order to fulfill God's purpose in their individual lives, by the end of the book, the reader discovers how the destinies of these three coalesce and reveal an extraordinary, composite Divine plan greater than each could have realized on his/her own.

Witness Ruth redefining herself, leaving her old life and seizing for herself a new life, a new love and a new legacy. Follow Naomi's tragic, treacherous and tearful journey as it unfolds to eventually culminate in a rediscovered purpose and a renewed hope. Note the steadfastness of the humble husbandman Boaz and how the traits that he had developed through a lifetime of patient maturation helped him to become a fitting choice as Ruth’s husband as well as the heir to an enduring legacy.

Zebedee King currently works as a Principle Network Security Engineer for a large international corporation. He is an Air Force retiree whose career began as a Russian linguist and finally concluded in the areas of communications, computers and network defense. He and his wife Linda have been blessed with two amazing daughters. Their oldest is married to a wonderful, godly man and has recently given Zeb and Linda their first grandchild. Zeb is also an ordained minister. He received his calling to teach God’s word at a very young age. Born into families in which faith was the order of the day, both Zeb and Linda have been heavily involved in all facets of ministry, especially in the areas of teaching, mentoring and people-helping. Their love for God and their passion for bringing out the best in God’s people remain the driving force behind their ministry. They have occupied themselves with writing several articles on relationships for a Christian women’s magazine and for years they have conducted leadership conferences, marriage seminars and retreats. They currently lead a couples’ small group within their local assembly in San Antonio.
