Promises in the Rainbow is a message inspired by the Holy Spirit. It provides a fresh and deeper perspective on the rainbow and its mystery.

Olive Elise - The Black Sheep of the Blue Family

About the Book:

After graduating at the top of my police academy class, I was given the opportunity to put on a police uniform and serve those around me. I had a blast. Until the inevitable happened. During that time, I experienced what no person ever wants to go through--sexual harassment and, finally, sexual assault by my own brothers in blue. While I loved my line of work (and I still do), it nearly broke every fiber of my being for years. Yet I believe that God is going to use that experience to help others heal.

My story is not over. My dreams are not completed. God still has a purpose for my life. It has been a long journey. It has taken many years to fully understand this from the trauma I faced as a police officer, but God. Through the sullen ashes of past trauma, beauty will arise through the power of Christ. My hope is that my story can raise awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace. More so, I hope every survivor of sexual assault can find true healing that only comes from God. You may have a dark past, but you can still have a bright future. May you find your faith in God and a complete healing through my scars.

Sandra Pixley-Rees - Daughter of the Last Duke

About the Book:

Faustine instinctively knew her fight was over! She was trapped between the Valencian mob and the charging Spanish army! She dropped to her knees out of sheer exhaustion, acutely aware of the Spaniard on the black mustang as he raised his gleaming jewel-handled sword—preparing to strike! She closed her eyes tight, feeling the warmth of the sun one last time against her tear stained face, silently praying for the strength to remain brave through to the bitter end. She felt a deep ache in her chest as her thoughts turned to her father. He had given her the choice to tag along on his military campaign, bringing the two of them to Madrid. She had been looking forward to spending the summer amid the city's romantic flare, but the mood of the capital was far from friendly as the natives teetered on the verge of a momentous rebellion, due to the French army's bold march across Spain, turning the streets into a bloody arena.

At the first sign of trouble her father did not hesitate to send her out of harm's way—that's how she ended up at the home of her great-aunt who was a prominent resident of Valencia. It was for that reason she feared her father would blame himself when he learned hundreds of French civilians had been massacred at the hands of the Valencian mob! Yet there was no way he could have known that the Spanish Uprising would spread like wildfire across every region of Spain or bring about her premature demise as she stared into the face of death!

These are stories about overcoming bullying. Isabella was a little girl growing up, wanting to make friends and have fun. However, that differs from what happened--starting at an incredibly early age and continuing through elementary and high school years. Isabella became familiar with bullying. She always wondered why some other children wanted to hurt her and not be her friend. She kept an excellent, happy heart and loved them anyway.

The purpose of this book is to help anyone who is experiencing intimidation. Harassment comes in verbal and nonverbal forms, and both children and adults need help from God to overcome and get through such challenging times. The little girl growing up in these stories had that help and came through to become a strong and successful woman. She wanted to share what Jesus had done for her and give him Praise and Glory.

Merle and Charlotte Cooper - Christ Jesus the Rock

About the Book:

An essential question...and rocks--lots of rocks.

An essential reply...and something about a rock.

What's that about?

"Who do you say that I am?" Jesus asked.

Before that crucial question, there were dozens of clues: the rock that sheltered Moses when he asked to see the face of God, the rock that gushed water for a million thirsty migrants, the rock that formed a solid foundation, and the rock that trips people.

Simon Peter got the answer out.

"You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!"

And on this great rock, this great realization, Jesus said, "I will build my church."

And there it is, the Shekinah--the glory of God!

Diana Lynn Todisco - The Adventures of RJ and Alex

 About the Book:

RJ Matthews was a normal, happy, and healthy twelve-year-old boy--until he wasn't. Like many twelve-year-olds, RJ loved spending time with his family. RJ especially loved Sunday mornings when he, his mom and dad, and little brother all went to church together. After church, they would come home and have a big special breakfast and then venture out for an afternoon of fun surprises. Life in the Matthews household was always a grand adventure. Of course, there were times when he and his younger brother argued, when he didn't do his chores and was grounded, and when he really didn't feel like going to church. But those times were few and far between. RJ was particularly excited about this Sunday because after Sunday school, his church was having their annual picnic, and afterward, he was going hiking with his family and some friends. Unfortunately, the Sunday that began with such promise would end with lost hope. This is RJ's story, a story of pain and loss, of denial and anger--a story of losing his way and then rediscovering it. It is ultimately a story of restoration, redemption, and the goodness of God.

About the Book:

The story of humankind begins 13.8 billion years ago when the universe came into being instantly everywhere at the same time. There was only darkness until the stars began to light up. This begins the long journey of humankind, through the formation in supernovae of the elements that will form our bodies to the formation of the sun, the earth, and the moon until our home brings forth life. Our planet has survived numerous events that threatened to extinguish that life, but ultimately our most remote ancestors began to walk the plains, mountains, and valleys of Africa. In remote prehistory, groups of people migrated out of Africa eventually to populate the whole world. The author provides a timeline for the major events that eventually shaped the modern world. In the earliest settlements, humans domesticated plants and animals. Over time, they formed city-states. Civilizations rose and fell, passing along little snippets of knowledge to those who followed. The journey acquaints the reader with these great civilizations and the people who gave us the arts and sciences and the rules of law for living together. The civilizations of Athens and Rome became the foundation of western civilization. In the last two thousand years, world history is dominated by the spread of Christianity. Therefore, the journey takes us through those events in Judea to the kings, queens, popes, and emperors of Europe while events are also unfolding in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. The modern world has been largely shaped by the colonial period beginning about 1500 AD. Much attention is given to events since then which are proximate to the world we experience today. World Wars I and II then shaped most of the modern nation states in which we live. The author allows the reader to stand apart and be an observer of the journey of humankind. We have taken many different paths to arrive in the modern world with wonderfully diverse appearances, languages, and traditions, but we are all one family. The author hopes we will embrace our differences and act together as the family we are while shaping the future.
