Summary

"This excellent book skillfully showcases Smith's method for identifying and healing from grief and finding wholeness." – Library Journal Review, January 2025
Dear Black woman, you are not alone.
God has not disregarded your pain and suffering. God sees you. God knows you. God understands.
In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith unearths a painful reality that is tangled within our nation's roots and DNA: trauma, loss, and grief are embedded in the lived experience of the Black woman in the United States. Smith talks about grief that is specifically applicable to Black women, providing them with affirmation and a safe place to exhale. Yet, amid a broken world and broken systems that have weighed down Black women for generations, Smith reminds us that there is hope because the kingdom of God is at hand. In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith

- takes us readers through narrative and biblical truths
- provides a space made by and for Black women to be seen and understood by God
- encourages Black women to live a God-filled life in a grief-filled world

    (Previously released as "The Preacher.") 
    Welcome to Layton, Alabama. Population: 11,000. Where the sweet tea runs through our veins, the air smells of cobbler, and the secrets lie so deep that not even the confessionals are safe anymore. 
    They say evil can take many forms . . . 
    I learned that first hand at the age of seventeen. My mother's third husband was the preacher . . . a man of the cloth who had a secret agenda within our small Southern community. 
    My name is Sunny Gardner. And Layton, Alabama is my home, or least it had been until the preacher came into our lives. A minister who preached the Word, but lived a lie. But the folks in this town had closed their eyes and ears to the truth once they fell under the preacher's spell. As it turned out, I'm the one they believed was evil. I'm the one who was shamed into leaving town. 
    This is my story. A story of struggle and triumph and, ultimately, a story of how I saved myself and my community from the devil himself. 
    (Inspired by an actual event.)

    This book illustrates the powerful effect David Clark´s mother, Jan Clark, had on her son. Her influence began even before David was born. Jan’s pregnancy with David was terrifyingly difficult. Her doctor, due to his grave concerns for Jan’s life, felt compelled to do everything he could to terminate the pregnancy. Amidst these extreme circumstances, Jan made a promise to her unborn child that changed everything! 
    Follow David Clark as he recounts experiences in which his mother kept this promise and led him to Christ. Notwithstanding that foundation in Christ, however, David years later, found himself feeling isolated and abandoned by God when he became 100% disabled and bedridden due to his military service in Iraq. He went from being an award-winning lawyer, a decorated military officer, and an Elder in his church to becoming completely dependent on others. It was only when David began remembering what his mother taught him about Jesus Christ years earlier that he finally found the peace and rest that comes solely through the Lord. 
    In this book, you will learn:God hears and answers prayers.We can find peace in Christ, especially in our most heart-wrenching trials.Jesus does not give up on us, nor will He ever abandon us!The truth found in Proverbs 22:6 (“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” KJV).The power parents can have when they share why they believe in God, how their faith has blessed their own lives and provide opportunities for their children to gain that knowledge and experience for themselves. 
    Clark offers inspiration from his personal experiences bringing out how his mother’s influence led him to Christ even amidst trials and adversity. To find out more, get a copy now!

Whether you’re a longtime admirer of St. John Henry Newman or just beginning to explore his works, this collection is an indispensable spiritual companion.A towering figure in the Church, Newman shaped the faith journeys of great Christian thinkers like G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, and Pope Benedict XVI. His writings—profound, poetic, and deeply personal—offer powerful guidance for navigating faith in a secular world. He speaks to the heart as much as to the intellect, weaving together reason, imagination, and experience to illuminate the beauty of the Christian life.Newman’s prayers are more than words; they are heartfelt cries to God, filled with devotion and longing. His meditations explore essential themes such as the Trinity, the Passion, the Resurrection, the Eucharist, Mary, and the saints, offering timeless insights that still resonate today.Reflecting on his own mission, Newman once wrote, “God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. . . . He has not created me for naught.”Let St. John Henry Newman’s words inspire you to embrace your own divine calling.
