Suddenly alone, with injuries that will never heal, Abe wakes from his coma to unrelenting pain and an ominous question. Does he have the strength, or even a reason, to fight on? Can he build a new life for himself? A legacy for the son he saved?

Abe chooses to fight, winning respect and even love, creating for others the refuge and healing that he is denied.

But his secret treasure, like his quiet life, is ultimately lost to time and buried in the ruins of war.

Lost, that is, until his great-great-granddaughter finds herself on the suddenly-crowded trail of his hidden story.

A devastating automobile accident left Mary K. Hoodhood permanently paralyzed—facing a future she never imagined. What followed was not the end of her story, but the beginning of a remarkable life.

In What I Can Do, Mary K. shares lessons from more than four decades living as a quadriplegic—with courage, clarity, humor, and faith.

Portraits of the Kingdom of God is for the culturally curious, the mission-minded, and those longing to see God at work in the world. Our friends from Kenya have graciously opened their lives to us, allowing their stories to be shared in these pages, resulting in a book from a Kenyan perspective with a glimpse into their lives and culture.

You will be uplifted and inspired by their courage and their love. Each story is framed in a beatitude with Scripture woven throughout revealing the beauty of God’s Word, showing God’s kingdom alive in the everyday lives of His people, and encouraging you in your own faith.
