The Happiest People on Earth

By Demos Shakarian

This is packed with stories of healings, miraculous provision, the very honest struggle of trusting God in difficulty and how God can take one obedient family to bring blessing all over the world.

Biography of an Armenian family who received the baptism of the Holy Spirit through the teaching of Russian ministries and found themselves fleeing to America at the instruction of a prophetic word. All those who did not flee were killed by a sudden invasion. Those who fled found themselves in a very different culture where they struggled in poverty, hanging onto the promised blessing of God. This story holds incredible testimonies of God's miraculous care for these Armenian orthodox believers and the courageous journey of Demos and Rose Shakarian and their family, who God was raising up to bring the good news of Jesus and the baptism of the Spirit to ordinary business men and women, not just in America, but across the globe.

Saving My assasin

By Virginia Prodan

Thrilling autobiography of how a petite woman in communist Romania during the rule of Ceausescu, took on injustice, stood up to the terrifying Securitate, exposed secrets of oppression that led to the fall of an evil empire and even led her assasin to faith in Jesus Christ. 

If you have ever wondered whether you were too small, too disadvantaged or too insignificant to do anything mighty or courageous for God, read this!

Virginia never expected her faith in Christ to lead where it did, but she was obedient to her calling to be a lawyer who seeks the truth and would not back down even in the face of violent interrogation and attempts on her life. This story is a beautiful example of how God uses the humble to bring low the mighty.

tHE hIDING pLACE

By Corrie Ten Boom

When Nazi Germany invaded Holland, ordinary people found themselves flung into extraordinary situations. This story follows the bravery of Corrie and her family whose love for Jesus compelled them to hide Jews from the murderous invaders.

Corrie was an ordinary spinster watchmaker, good at her job and dedicated to her family, who expected life would tick along as it had done for decades, when suddenly she had to deal with the terrors of war. The simple lessons of hospitality, care and faith in Jesus that she had learnt throughout her life, were abruptly called upon by God to be used in ways that she would never have dreamed of. As part of the resistance, she found herself using all the cunning God had given her to save lives and when she was caught and sent to one of the most notrious death camps in Nazi Germany, her faith and the faith of her sister Betty, turned a place of death into a place of hope. By divine providence, she survived to tell her tale and to offer forgiveness to her oppressors.

Corrie's child-like faith in her Heavenly Father will encourage you to trust Him in every circumstance and to seek to love even in the darkest places.

Living a Life of Fire

By Reinhard Bonnke

Faith-stirring story of how God called a poor young "null" (nothing) German boy, a nobody, to carry His good news and the fire of His Holy Spirit to the nations. This story will raise your eyes to see God's heart for people from every nation, tribe and tongue to come to know Him and will raise your expectation that God will accompany the preaching of His good news with signs, wonders and miracles.

This autobiography tells the story of how Reinhard's identity changed form a nobody to a treasured son of God as he was changed by the good news of Jesus. As a child, he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and a call to go to Africa and preach the gospel and he has recorded for us his journey, against all odds, to see that come to fulfillment and to see millions upon millions of people come to Christ. He shares lessons he learnt along the way and is sure to raise your faith in the power and goodness of God.
