Author Biography:


I have had the pleasure of knowing Jesus for most of my life.  My mother introduced Him to me at a young age.  It is a good thing she did, she died soon thereafter.  She instilled good moral and spiritual values in my life.  I am constantly using these values even today.

My father died about five years later.  He continued the spiritual teachings after my mother's death.  I owe a lot of my success in life to them. 

My life is full of God's grace and His mercy as well as his provisions.  I will forever look to Him for directions, guidance and provisions.

Book Synopsis:

The objective of this book is to show children that they should never give up on their dreams and that everything happens for a reason. My character has one dream only, which is to become a professional baseball player. At a young age he believes in that dream and continues to follow it wholeheartedly. As he ages, he realizes that his dream is much harder to fulfill than he previously thought and somewhat begins to lose sight of it. Not realizing it, he encounters different obstacles throughout his life which he cannot understand. Little does he know that everything is really happening for a reason – to get him on the field as a baseball player. He realizes that even though he may have given up on his dream, his dream never gave up on him. This story shows children that not even the greatest disaster can stop them from reaching their goals and that there will always be hope, even when they consider giving up.

Book Synopsis:

My book reveals that I was an addict and how I am recovering.  I have improved my spelling, vocabulary, and writing skills.  My memory is improving also.  I hope my book will enlighten people to understand addicts.

 I hope that addicts can see that there is still hope for their life, and that they can defeat the devil inside them.  I needed God in my life to help me beat the devil, and so do you.  God loves you, and I urge you to please turn to Him every day.  You will find that you must live one day at a time.


Author Biography:



I have now celebrated over ten years clean and sober.  In the ten years of my sobriety I have written and published a book of poetry called, “A Life Worth Mending”, created and published a complete Christ-Based 12 step program and founded a non-profit ministry called “Broken Chains Ministry”.  My vision is to offer hope to those suffering in their addiction through God.

The mission of my ministry is the educating and motivating those bound by various addictions through the written and spoken word.  That is why I have written these books.

It takes courage to begin your recovery.  There are going to be stormy seas and many times what you think is going to be a safe harbor is really shallow and rocky water.  Let Christ, the one who loves you most, be the lighthouse that guides you to a safe shore.

Book Synopsis:

MANKIND SUFFERING. 

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "If God is all-powerful and loves mankind, as the Bible teaches, why he permits the good to suffer and the evil to prosper, as so often happens?"

Perhaps the greatest trial for faith is the puzzle of why evil and suffering exists at all. This puzzle is the theme of the book of Job, one of the great masterpieces of ancient literature. Most of the book consists of Job’s poetic agonies. His friends were no help. They simply concluded that he was being punished for some great sins he had committed. But the simple view that virtue is always rewarded would never stand either, considering the undeserved suffering of Jesus.

Explore these difficult issues with the insight of the author, Dr. Jimmie Wright.


Author Biography:


Dr. Jimmie Wright, has been the pastor of New Mount Olive Baptist Church in Wharton, Texas for the past 32 years.  Wright came to Texas in 1951 and married his wife in 1954.  They have two sons, Major Lee Wright and Jimmie Wright, Jr., and a daughter, Kathy Elaine Wright.  To date they are blessed with 7 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
 
"Job - Why the Righteous Suffer" is the first book written and published by Dr. Wright.

Liberating the Bruised

ISBN: 9781933660479

Retail Price: $20.95

Author: Joe Allbright


Audience: Inspirational

Page Count: 274

Pub Date: May 2011     








Book Synopsis:

As one reads "Liberating the Bruised", one sees that it clearly explains spiritual warfare by way of God's Word, and it offers God's solutions for minor to major spiritual and emotional problems.  Of course if minor problems are not dealt with, they can become major ones!  This book well serves as (1) a text book for those desiring to learn biblical truths about wounded, fragmented personalities and the demonic---spiritual warfare, (2) a self-help counseling book, and (3) an instruction book for those desiring to learn how to help hurting people find freedom, peace and joy! Without doubt, precious souls who are desperate to be free can find freedom from their spiritual bondage!  For victory can most surely come through the Lord Jesus as people trust and obey Him concerning His biblical teachings!

The biblical truths in the book are a great help for any individual battling emotional, spiritual and behavioral issues. This includes couples with serious marital problems.  A loving marriage comes (1) when husband and wife each humble himself/herself to deal with and confess his/her own sin issues, (2) reclaim all legal ground that Satan manipulates and claims by way of sinful behavior and any generational iniquities passed down, and (3) through their legal authority in Jesus Christ each can reclaim ground from the enemy and receive freedom, peace and joy.  Then each can walk with the Lord victoriously and respect and love others the way Christ loves...unconditionally.

Rita Allbright and Dr. Joe Allbright have been married since October 11, 1957 and surrendered to serve the Lord together in 1969.  As they look back over those years, they still stand amazed at how He caused their pathways to meet---putting two people together who are so opposite from one another in personalities, abilities and talents.  But He knew how to bring balance not only to their marriage, but to His ministry as well.  How grateful they are for His unconditional love and readiness to forgive when they failed and strayed!  After writing "Liberating the Bruised" in 1997, in 2010, together, they obediently sought His wisdom while writing additional helps through "More Tools for Liberating the Bruised".  Having completed this God-inspired work brings much joy to their hearts in knowing that even after they have moved into their heavenly home, the books can continue to share God's wondrous truths with ministers, missionaries, and counselors who can lead souls to salvation and lead Satan's captives to freedom through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Rita Allbright is also a published author in her own right and has dedicated her life to the task, in a volunteer capacity, of coordinating and supporting the "Joe E. Allbright Evangelistic Assoc., Inc.."
