In His Place (A Novel)

A Modern-Day Challenge in the Tradition of Charles Sheldon’s Classic, In His Steps

When Pastor Steve Long challenges his prominent but self-satisfied congregation to become a living force for Christ in their small North Georgia town, he is blindsided by personal trials—including push-back from the church leadership and his son's teenage rebellion. Responding to Christ's command, "As the Father has sent me, so I send you," guided by the Holy Spirit and strengthened by the support of a friend who is not a practicing Christian, Paster Long tackles these difficult situations—and moreover, a tumultuous week of trials and testing, and ultimately learns (as he leads) what it means to walk In His Place.

The Kingdom of Heaven is Like Unto

A wonderful book for anyone doing prison ministry or prison work. Copies are now available at half price (about $7) from the author; email her at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or check amazon.com.

Reviews on amazon.com include this one: “The Kingdom of Heaven Is Like Unto can be used as a daily devotion - to lift spirits, to remind us of our own vulnerability or to remind us "There go I except for the Grace of God" - OR it can be devoured in one sitting (as I did). Jane Hall captures the unique environment of the correctional facility and gives it a fresh spin - an environment of need, of anger, of laughter and takes us there as either one of the staff or one of the inmates. We can relate to each experience from either perspective and see how God is still with us; still present in our daily life. Thank you, Jane Hall, for writing this precious book! Should be mandatory reading for all correctional staff!”

We are sold out of this book at present and planning another printing.

Cut from the Cloth of Fogo

Cut from the Cloth of Fogo is Stewart Payne’s memoir, tracing his humble beginnings on Fogo Island in the 1930s and his journey to becoming one of the most respected Anglican clergymen in Newfoundland and Labrador. With modesty and humor, Stewart describes his early upbringing on Fogo Island, his first trip to the big city to enter Memorial College, his teaching years at Indian Islands and Fogo, and the ministerial calling that put him on the path to a long and rewarding life of humanitarian work.

She Who Prays: A Woman's Interfaith Prayer Book

A prayer book designed to be used by individual women, as well as by those who are leading group prayer services. For nearly two millennia, Christian women have learned to pray in the language of other people's souls. From worshiping God as father to envisioning a holy life as a military campaign, they've been taught to approach the Divine with the hearts and minds of men.

The author leads teachings on prayer and Christianity in Texas, as she did when she was a member of AFP Canada. She has written a number of books, including a novel, Fire & Spirit, which is available from virtualbookworm.com.
