The legendary American jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald said it best, "It isn't where you come from; it's where you're going that counts." Born on April 25th in Newport, Virginia, Ella's early life was marked by hardships. Her parents never married, and her mother tragically passed away when she was just fifteen due to a car accident. Ella faced challenges and a difficult upbringing, including allegations of abuse and periods of homelessness. Yet, her love for music remained unwavering.In January 1935, an opportunity arose that would change Ella's life forever. She participated in a vocal contest at the Amateur Nights at the Apollo Theater and emerged victorious. From that moment, a new chapter began for Ella, brimming with obstacles and challenges in an era of discrimination and racial separatism. Despite criticism and being banned for her civil rights activism, Ella continued to dream, work hard, and forge her path forward.This anthology, inspired by Ella's journey, delves into the lives of women who have faced their own twists, bumps, and curves. Each story reflects their resilience, suffrage, tenacity, and unwavering faith in God. They wear the stiletto as a metaphor-a symbol of navigating through life's trials with grace and strength. Just as Ella's purity of tone and impeccable diction made her a revered figure in American history, they, too, have woven their unique narratives into the fabric of their collective experiences.Join them in this anthology, as they share our stories, demonstrating how faith and trust in God have lovingly guided them from pain to purpose. Discover the transformative power of resilience and the remarkable journeys of women who refuse to be defined by their past, embracing their true potential.Dr. Linda Harvey, acclaimed author and compiler of this empowering anthology, invites you to explore the depths of these testimonies and be inspired by the indomitable spirit of women who have overcome adversity to find their purpose.

Skin Deep is a book about the spirit of racism and how it affects our society. It identifies what we are fighting against, explains the root of where it surfaced, gives strategies for fighting against it, and provides insight into its destructive effects on individuals and relationships. Having a lifetime of experiences with African Americans and Caucasians gives Kristina Carter a unique perspective. As a Memphis native, she grew up in a neighborhood where 95 percent of the residents were African American. As a result of her upbringing, she understands the unique call God has strategically placed upon her life. She knows that her call is to bridge the gap between African Americans and Caucasians, and that this is a spiritual battle we are engaged in. Carter asserts that a spiritual war cannot be fought in the flesh, and that there is a domino effect resulting from this. As soon as racism is ingrained in a society, it has a snowball effect. Consequently, spirits of anger, hatred, murder, adversity, bullying, strife, fear, malice, separation, and division accompany it. Therefore, as a united body, we must understand what is really happening in the spirit realm and how to respond, accordingly.There is a sense of hope throughout Carter's book, as she strategizes to reach many leaders and notable influencers who can unify others in a stand toward ending racism. As part of her mission, she devised this book as an outright attack to align God's people and to unify their premise towards sustainable change. Carter's heart is for change- Godly change. It is her prayer that Skin Deep brings people together like never before, as it reflects the heart of God concerning racism in the spirit realm.

Ron Yacovetti brings forth a distinctive blend of satire, philosophy, and technical knowledge in his latest book, where years of empirical experience culminate in a breakthrough method known as Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC). Now coined "Staticom", this innovative technique allows communication with the unknown through a unique white noise-based system. Originating from the older European Direct Radio Voice (DRV) method, Staticom produces unparalleled and undeniable data. Ron "The Yacman" Yacovetti has crafted a mindset through years of experimentation, education, and a battle against cynicism which is vividly portrayed in the pages of this tome. With a style only he could master, Ron does not merely challenge the skeptics who dismiss paranormality; he also scrutinizes the broader paranormal field with a discerning eye. His aim? To incite a deep reflection on our practices, the information we accept unquestioningly, and the need to reassess such acceptance. The book delves deeper than merely capturing and presenting evidence. It prompts readers to question why certain incidents are accepted as historical facts, whether it be well-documented cases like The Philip Experiment or viral video clips circulating in the social media's paranormal lane. Notably, it critically examines a high-profile TikTok video in which a renowned scientific personality discusses afterlife research, seemingly either oblivious to or intentionally overlooking previous work in the field. If the paranormal intrigues you, if it's your norm, Yacovetti's enlightening and challenging narrative is the next book you won't want to miss!

In her debut full-length collection of poetry, Paying for Gas with Quarters, U.S. Army veteran Aly Allen explores and illuminates the war in Afghanistan, wartime and childhood traumas, and post-war parenthood.Allen deployed to Afghanistan as a broadcast journalist with the U.S. 10th Mountain Division. A divorced parent of two, Allen is neurodivergent, as are her kids. She also is diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She recently began gender-transition, after years of sobriety and therapy.Allen's writing often ponders the effects war has on her children and first wife. Soldiers and veterans are directly affected by wartime experiences, she says, but how many others inherit these wounds?Many of Allen's poems thrust readers into the midst of daily chaos-whether in the parental or soldierly gaze-weaving attempts to navigate parent-child relationships both present and past, wrestling with grief and guilt, but also growing in hope toward stability and healing.HERE'S WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: "War, family, life, and death collide in this collection. Allen's reverberating lines beat with ear-splitting blasts of beauty."-Jason Poudrier, author of Red Fields ◆◆◆◆◆ "'No / matter the changes / they never feel / correct'. The odyssey of Aly Allen's Paying for Gas with Quarters takes the reader through the trials of parenthood, adult relationships, a military career, transitioning into civilian life, and discovering self-identity through it all. Her debut collection challenges memory and the present to hold beauty and pain together in one vision, just like a field of poppies blooming in a field to honor what was lost and what should be celebrated."-Lisa Stice, author of FORCES, Permanent Change of Station, and other poetry collections ◆◆◆◆◆ "Aly Allen's words awaken us to the parallels of military and war to parenthood. The messy, entangled chaos that is inevitably life-changing. She is unafraid to reveal her human-ness through these poems, the places 'Where I-am becomes where I-am-lost.' Paying for Gas with Quarters weaves together complex truths: War changes us and yet leaves us longing, still, for connection."-Jessi M. Atherton, author of The Time War Takes: Poems ◆◆◆◆◆ "New war voices bring new war stories! Aly Allen's clear-eyed poems of battles are tinged with humor and hope. Regardless of their own circumstances and life-experiences, readers will surely be comforted with this revelation: We are all in this together. We are each deserving of grace."-Randy Brown, author of Welcome to FOB Haiku: War Poems from Inside the Wire ◆◆◆◆◆ "In Paying for Gas with Quarters, Aly Allen weaves the chaos of war into the fabric of parenthood. Her poems crash like mortar fire over the reader in staccato bursts of heart-wrenching emotion. She finds commonalities between the everyday isolation of parenting, and the 'composed vibrations' of battle. This collection is at once a quiet elegy and a defiant war cry that reminds readers how fragile-and valuable-life is."-Gary Reddin, author of An Abridged History of American Violence and Quantum Entanglement

Nate All I wanted to do was be me, for one night. I didn't want to be the number one quarterback in the league. I just wanted to be Nate. I couldn't tell you exactly what made me stop at that dive bar on the outskirts of town, but it changed my life. Our connection was instant and undeniable. Our night together was explosive, which led to another, and then another. No strings. Neither of us had time in our busy lives for more. When tragedy strikes, we part ways, but those strings we swore were not there tethered me to her. An invisible line from my heart to hers. It doesn't matter how much time has passed. I still want her. Oaklyn After a long day at work, the last thing I should have done was stop at a seedy establishment at the edge of town, but something had me pulling my car into the lot and going inside. The place was empty, except one man. An impossibly gorgeous guy with sexy eyes as dark as the night. I threw caution to the wind and invited him home. Our night together was magic, and when it came time to part ways, we both decided not to. No strings. Just great sex. However, our time is cut short when he sustains an injury on the field and leaves, breaking my heart into a thousand pieces on his way out the door. What was supposed to be just for fun turned out to be anything but, and when he returns to town years later, I realize I'm in trouble. My heart still craves him.

Dancers should be maintaining their temple (their bodies), as well as investing in their God-given gift and talent. Training will help the dance minister move with boldness and confidence and will allow them to move freely, focusing less on the technique and more on the Lord. We discuss stories and excuses why dance ministers will not take technique classes, what tools are available to assist them as they continue to pursue God through dance, and what God says about skill.
