Under The Overpass - Written by Mike Yankoski

After meals from garbage cans and dumpsters, night after night Mike and Sam found their beds under bridges and on the streets. They were forced to depend on the generosity and kindness of strangers as they panhandled to sustain their existence. For more than five months, the pair experienced firsthand the extreme pains of hunger, the constant uncertainty and danger of living on the streets, exhaustion, depression, and social rejection - and all of this by their own choice. This is their story. Through Mike's firsthand account, Under the Overpass provides important insight into the truths of the street and calls the younger generation of believers to take great risks of faith to bring Christ's love to the neediest corners of the world.

The Hiding Place - Written by Corrie Ten Boom

The extraordinary adventure of one courageous Christian woman who became a militant heroine of the anti-Nazi underground. The triumphant true story of Corrie ten Boom "I pray that God forgives them . . ." Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner."Oh, the poor woman," Corrie cried."Yes. May God forgive her," Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed. Both women had been sent to the camp for helping the Jews. Christ's spirit and words were their guide; it was His persecuted people they tried to save -- at the risk of their own lives; it was His strength that sustained them through times of profound horror. Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along -- with joy and triumph!

Coming Up To Breathe - MercyMe

Four years ago, the hard working band from Texas, MercyMe, was propelled into the spotlight with several hit songs. Millions of radio listeners who may not have ever considered themselves fans of Christian music suddenly found themselves singing along to songs like "I Can Only Imagine", "Here With Me" and "Homesick".

After the success of their first hit, "I Can Only Imagine," the group found themselves juggling 250 performances a year. MercyMe experienced success beyond their wildest dreams but were also faced with some of the greatest personal challenges of their lives. Although at times they were overwhelmed, they came up to breathe with their faith intact.

This time around, MercyMe locked themselves in a studio with award winning producer Brown Bannister and poured out all that was on their hearts. Not concerned with the songs fitting a certain "theme", MercyMe put their focus on creating a record that is a testimony to God’s sustaining grace while continuing to explore musical landscapes. The result is the most upbeat and accessible record of their career with "Coming Up To Breathe”..
