Book excerpt: Donna Johnson's remarkable story of being raised under the biggest gospel tent in the world, by David Terrell, one of the most famous evangelical ministers of the 1960s and 70s. Holy Ghost Girl is a compassionate, humorous exploration of faith, betrayal, and coming of age on the sawdust trail. She was just three years old when her mother signed on as the organist of tent revivalist David Terrell, and before long, Donna Johnson was part of the hugely popular evangelical preacher's inner circle. At seventeen, she left the ministry for good, with a trove of stranger- than-fiction memories. A homecoming like no other, Holy Ghost Girl brings to life miracles, exorcisms, and faceoffs with the Ku Klux Klan. And that's just what went on under the tent. As Terrell became known worldwide during the 1960s and '70s, the caravan of broken-down cars and trucks that made up his ministry evolved into fleets of Mercedes and airplanes. The glories of the Word mixed with betrayals of the flesh and Donna's mother bore Terrell's children in one of the several secret households he maintained. Thousands of followers, dubbed "Terrellites" by the press, left their homes to await the end of the world in cultlike communities. Jesus didn't show, but the IRS did, and the prophet/healer went to prison. Recounted with deadpan observations and surreal detail, Holy Ghost Girl bypasses easy judgment to articulate a rich world in which the mystery of faith and human frailty share a surprising and humorous coexistence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funny, heartbreaking, and real—these twelve stories showcase a dynamic range of voices belonging to characters who can't stop confessing. They are obsessive storytellers, disturbed professors, depressed auctioneers, gambling clergy. A fourteen-year-old boy gets baptized and speaks in tongues to win the love of a girl who ushers him into adulthood; a troubled insomniac searches the woods behind his mother's house for the "awful pretty" singing that begins each midnight; a school-system employee plans a year-end party at the site of a child's drowning; a burned-out health-care administrator retires from New England to coastal Georgia and stumbles upon a life-changing moment inside Walmart. These big-hearted people—tethered to the places that shape them—survive their daily sorrows and absurdities with well-timed laughter; they slouch toward forgiveness, and they point their ears toward the Holy Ghost's last words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haunted by the Holy Ghost is a geographical, chronological and spiritual autobiography. The author describes the place of his birth: a farm in semi-arid Swisher County in the Texas Panhandle in depression/Dust Bowl days. He describes his schooling at a two-room rural school through elementary years, and his years at a small town high school. The author reflects upon the richness as well as the poverty of those days. He describes his struggles with his call to ministry as a haunting by the Holy Ghost. The reader is taken on a travelogue of the places in which the author and his wife ministered. The spiritual aspect of their lives is always on or just below the surface. At times the author waxes homiletical and theological, with occasional narrations of humorous incidents.

Book excerpt: Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle--and a murder--in the wickedly entertaining new thriller from the master of "pure reading pleasure" (Booklist) Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls, for which the word "moribund" might have been invented. Nothing ever happened there and nothing ever would--until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: "I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They'd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They'd all get rich! What could go wrong? When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning of their troubles--and Virgil Flowers'--as they are all about to discover all too soon.

It explains the meaning of some objects that were there that had a symbolic meaning. Moreover, you will understand why God was not happy with the Mosaic Law. It will also explain to you the meaning of sanctification and why we must be sanctified as well. You will see why Abraham and some of the other patriarchs were so important in the scriptures. In addition, this book will explain to you the proper way to be baptized and to prepare you for the indwelling of God’s Spirit and why you need it. You will also know what to expect when it takes place. Besides, this book will teach you the importance of repentance before you’re baptized. You’ll understand how to be identified with Christ when he comes back, likewise your understanding of what strongholds are in the spiritual realm and how to free yourself from them. In fact, you’ll learn about what kind of angel Satan was before he fell. Another thing that you will learn from reading this book is how fasting and prayer can give you power with God. You’ll learn the proper way to fast. You’ll also learn how to do warfare with the flesh and the devil. Likewise, this book will teach you more in depth what took place in the Upper Room. Also, it will explain to you who was there. Then it will explain to you why this particular book is so important. Consequently, I also have written down scriptures so that you can verify what I have written. Equally important, you’ll learn the different operations of the Spirit of God and how he operates in the spiritual realm. In addition, you’ll learn about the different gifts that are in the body of Christ. Another thing that this book will teach you about is the Corinthian Church and why Paul wrote some of the things that he did about judging. It will teach you various kinds of judging that is biblical. I also wrote some of my own supernatural experiences in this book as well. May the peace of God be with you all.
