Journey to Judah, Book One, Born for India trilogy


Journey to Judah is a gripping story that touched not only my heart, but will have a lasting spiritual impact on my life. -BR

I loved this book. It is such an easy read and kept my interest from the first paragraph. Such great reminders of God's faithfulness and I love the questions at the end. -TF


This is a well-written book that kept me on the edge of my seat. -RW


This is a great love story and it reminds you that God is in control and we can trust Him with every detail of our lives. I could not put it down, and I would get so anxious when I didn't have time to read it for a few days. -DJ


I read Eileen's book today. I loved it. I'm trying to think what I liked best, but I can't decide. There was too much great stuff. LL

End the Hate/first posted by American Family Association

Above The Hate
by Marcia Segelstein

In the wake of violent protests, vicious personal attacks, and a campaign of intimidation by opponents of Proposition 8, the National Organization for Marriage has just launched a new website called www.AboveTheHate.com. Its intent is to affirm, as Executive Director Brian Brown writes, “the right of all citizens to participate in the public debate about marriage, free from intimidation, vandalism or violence.”

The website is starting off with a letter which everyone is encouraged to sign (online) from major Christian leaders and supporters to President Thomas Monson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints thanking him and his church for their support of Proposition 8 and the protection of marriage.

Beyond a well-deserved thank you, what's the point of such a letter? “Threats against one religious community threaten all of us," Brown writes, "as we stand for what we believe in the public square. The campaign against the LDS Church is just the first part of a campaign to silence all of us.”

So don’t be silenced. Visit the website and sign your name!
