MOST RECENT BOOK

Wretched Saints by Marc Lacy & Assaunta Howard provides a literary window through which we may possibly see traits of ourselves within one or more of the characters as they learn the hard way to listen when God is talking. Thus His signal, when digested properly allows suppression of sinful urges opening up the door, for spiritual growth.
