Michael Gadsden

It Hurt, but It Helped — Available Now

Michael Gadsden's newest book, It Hurt, but It Helped, is available now. In these pages he faces the wounds most of us spend a lifetime hiding — the losses, betrayals, and painful seasons we would rather forget — and shows how the very hurt that was meant to break you became the hand God used to shape you. Written with a pastor's heart and a mentor's candor, Michael walks the reader from the rawness of pain to the strength of healing, proving that nothing surrendered to God is ever wasted. And the story continues: Don't Create Ishmaels and The Pit Ain't Permanent are both coming in 2027.

Lennell D. Caldwell

Judgment Written

Lennell D. Caldwell is the author of Judgment Written — a sobering and soul-searching work that reminds every reader that nothing in life goes unwitnessed before God. Writing with candor forged by experience, he calls believers and skeptics alike to examine their ways in the light of divine truth, knowing that every deed is recorded and every life must one day give account. His voice is one of warning and hope in equal measure: judgment is certain, but so is the mercy extended to those who turn and make things right.

ReNaye' Michelle

If Loving You Is Wrong… I Was!

ReNaye' Michelle is the author of If Loving You Is Wrong… I Was! — the pain and passion of loving a narcissistic pastor. In these pages she uncovers her own story with uncommon courage, chronicling the charm, the manipulation, and the slow unraveling that came with loving a man who wore the collar but not the character. Her testimony is both a mirror and a lamp: naming the wounds of spiritual abuse while pointing survivors toward healing, restoration, and a faith that no longer depends on the one who broke it.
