Mission Without Borders
$29.99Author, speaker, and former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux offers an honest, no-holds-barred account of what has really been happening in Ukraine and shares powerful stories that are soaked in resiliency and determination, faith and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming opposition.
When Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux knew that innocent people were about to be exposed to untold brutality. He also knew that God was inviting him to get involved. With little idea of the trials that would follow, Chad’s response was simple and clear: “yes.” As he gathered a team of elite special operations veterans, he invited his twenty-five-year-old son, Hunter–also a Marine combat veteran–to partner with him in Ukraine. Over the course of seven trips, Chad saw a change in Hunter as his confidence grew and he exceled among the team. Chad’s own faith also grew as he learned to relinquish control and trust God with his son and what he witnessed in the brutality of war.
A Mission Without Borders is a powerful account of the lessons we can learn whenever we say yes to God. Chad’s experience will help readers:
*understand what the conflict in Ukraine was like for everyday citizens beyond the political fog;
*discover how a bond can grow between a father and son as they face hardship together; and
*realize that God doesn’t just call us to go to the aid of the people we know and love, sometimes he calls us to help strangers–because it’s the right thing to do.
A Mission Without Borders will take readers deep into the war in Ukraine. From Russia’s use of ballistic and chemical weapons on civilians, to the inspirational story of the role that the Ukrainian church has played in the war, Chad’s story of courage and hope needs to be heard. It is rich in human and spiritual truth and will connect deeply with readers of all walks.

27 Summers : My Journey To Freedom, Forgiveness, And Redemption During My T
$28.99In one of America’s most notorious prisons, a young man sentenced to life without parole miraculously found faith, forgiveness, redemption, and restoration. In 27 Summers Ronald Olivier shares his dramatic and powerful story and offers proof that God can bring healing and hope to even the darkest circumstances.
As a teenager Ronald Olivier ran wild in the streets of New Orleans, selling drugs, stealing cars, and finally killing someone on what was supposed to be the happiest day of the year–Christmas Day. Facing the consequences of his crime, he remembered what his mother once said. “Baby, if you ever have real trouble, the kind that I can’t get you out of, you can always call on Jesus.” So he did.
Ron was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Through the agony of solitary confinement and multiple transfers into increasingly dangerous prison environments, Ron kept seeking God for healing and hope. Finally, after being locked up for twenty-seven summers at the notorious Louisiana State Penitentiary–known as Angola–Ron was miraculously released. Remarkably, he became the director of chaplains at Mississippi State Penitentiary. Today, Ron loves to combat hopelessness, wherever he finds it, by saying, “Don’t tell me what God can’t do!”
Readers will:
*learn new insights about faith and patience from a man who spent almost three decades in a cruel and violent environment;
*be encouraged, like Ron, to find grace and forgiveness to overcome the pain of their past; and
*find hope that God can redeem and restore anyone.
Ron’s fascinating story brilliantly displays God’s power to transform individuals, families, and communities, reminding us that there truly is nothing God can’t do.

My Name Is Tani And I Believe In Miracles Young Readers Edition
$15.99At eight years old, Tani Adewumi, a Nigerian refugee, won the 2019 New York State Chess Championship after playing the game for only a year–and while homeless. His story is full of miracles and hope.
Tani and his family’s amazing story began amid Boko Haram’s reign of terror in their native country of Nigeria. They fled their home to the United States, where they lived in a New York City homeless shelter as they waited to be granted religious asylum. Tani began attending PS 116, where his classmates were unaware that he and his family had no home. So when Tani asked his parents if he could join the chess program at school, which required a fee, it seemed unlikely. But his mother wrote to the coach, who offered Tani a scholarship.
This adaptation will focus on the portions of Tani’s story that will most interest young readers. The struggle of leaving his comfortable home and moving to a new country with nothing. Living in America as a homeless family. Having no TV, no games, no money. Wanting a place for his mom to cook meals and a refrigerator where he could get a snack whenever he was hungry. Going to a new school. Meeting a teacher who taught him the game of chess, which allowed him to learn, compete, and experience the pressures of the game and the ultimate joy of winning.
Tani’s story will inspire you to believe in the power of the human spirit to triumph over the greatest adversities. And his family’s faith will inspire you to believe in miracles.

My Name Is Tani And I Believe In Miracles
$26.99Tani and his family’s story begins amid Boko Haram’s reign of terror in their native country of Nigeria as they become targets for capture and killing. Their miraculous escape takes them to a New York City homeless shelter, where they wait to be granted religious asylum.
Tani’s father, who comes from a royal family and has left behind thirteen employees in Nigeria, becomes a dishwasher and Uber driver to support his family. Tani’s mother, whose family helps to oversee the finances for a large Nigerian printing press, worked at a bank for more than eight years but is now training to become a home health aide.
After eighteen months the family is still at the shelter, unbeknownst to Tani’s classmates. When Tani asks his parents if he can join the chess program at his New York City public school, it seems unlikely since a fee is required. So his mother writes to the coach, who offers Tani a scholarship. Tani jumps in to learn the game. The result is not only a miracle in a chess competition but also the rescue and redemption of an entire family.
As miracles led Tani and his family to New York, his father, Kayode Adewumi, says, “There are many times in my life when I thought this must be the miracle, and yet I did not know that the miracle had not yet begun.”
Told from the perspective of Tani, his family, and those closest to him, Tani’s story will inspire you to believe in the power of the human spirit to triumph over the greatest adversity. And the faith and persistence of Tani’s family will inspire you to believe in miracles.
