Paperback. Condition: Good. When the world turns away from the horrors of war, genocide, famine, and natural disasters, the stewards of humanity run toward the suffering. They stand as a thin line between life and death for thousands of people who will never know their stories. These stewards are neither heroes nor saints-they are ordinary people with ordinary struggles who rise to extraordinary challenges. They are beacons of light in the darkness of humanitarian crisis.With an unflinching view into some of the worst humanitarian crises of our lifetime, author Robert Macpherson-US Marine combat veteran turned aid worker-tells the stories of the men and women who have courageously confronted evil and injustice from Somalia to Bosnia, Rwanda, Iraq and Afghanistan.Throughout his narrative, Robert challenges us to consider our place in humanity and our own role as stewards.I look for light, and on occasion, find it, but too often it is clouded by the skulls of Murambi. I am reminded by those I've met that all is not lost. Even in the fog of wicked brutality, humans emanate brilliant and cosmic bursts of decency, caring, and kindness. I know this because I continue to meet the women and men who are the keepers of this light. -From Stewards of HumanityRobert Macpherson has been a writer, aid worker, and career infantry officer in the U.S. Marines with service in Vietnam, Iraq, and Somalia. After retiring as a Colonel, he enjoyed a second career with the humanitarian organization CARE, where he directed global risk mitigation for staff and vulnerable populations and led humanitarian response missions worldwide.

Stewards of Humanity is his debut book. He lives in Charlotte, NC with his wife, Veronica and service dog, Blue.Those who've read Chasing Chaos by Jessica Alexander, Ghosts of the Tsunami by Richard Lloyd Perry, and Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder will savor the rich, complex narratives in Stewards of Humanity.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. As many of us can attest, it is difficult to watch the people we care about lose their way in life. When we notice our friends, children, and loved ones being led astray by others or by their own unique circumstances, it is not uncommon for us to become frustrated or disheartened when those closest to us begin to depart from the way we knew them to be. This can be doubly true for the faithful-as believers, what happens when our people begin to stray from God Himself? In Hand Him Over to the Enemy: How Does a Momma Do That?, author Krisan Markese answers this question and more. Instructed by God's voice to let her child go his way in the world, she grappled with doubt, fear, and failure on this journey to becoming secure in the knowledge that God's will over her and her son's life would be enacted. Just as Abraham needed only faith when asked to sacrifice his son Isaac, so should the parents, friends, spouses, and relatives of wandering people find their peace in the Lord. Complete with key Scriptures, personal anecdotes, guided prayers, and even song recommendations, this daily devotional seeks to remind readers that God can and will prevail over everything, and thereby put at ease the weary hearts of everyone who's watched a loved one wander. KRISAN MARKESE has been in full time ministry for nearly 40 years, ministering with her husband Pastor Ron Markese. Krisan was ordained thru Joan Hunter Ministries in 2014 and has recently been serving in her local church in southwest Florida.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Unresolved emotional pain may be the greatest hindrance to becoming the person you were created to be. It can cripple in ways we are not even aware. It shapes our personality, relationships, and family dynamics. It can and will, without our permission, shape the path of our life. If emotional pain is not recognized and addressed, it can burrow deep within our souls and foster a life of darkness and depression. At the age of 58, Danny Mullins hit emotional bottom. Diagnosed as clinically depressed, the remainder of his life held little promise for him. All joy of living had vanished. In his darkest hours, he turned to the Word of God in the hopes of something changing. He found that hope in Psalm 27. Through this song of David, the Spirit of God sparked the embers of expectation that eventually culminated in the healing of his heart. Darkness to Light is a chronicle of his journey from clinical depression to a renewed life of peace and joyful expectation. Through this book, Danny shares the truths and insights that changed his life. The journey was neither brief nor easy, but the road he walked led to a life of fulfillment he never expected to experience again. The Word of God and inner healing prayer brought him out of the darkness in which he was living and into the light of a new day. This is a down-to-earth, rubber-meets-the-road account of one man's journey out of depression.…
