Whisperings of Angels
In today's media-dominated, consumer society we are constantly besieged by myriad babel voices telling us what to eat, what to buy, what to do, how to live... what to think even. Whisperings of Angels reminds us to listen to those subtler voices we so often forget or ignore - voices counselling us to seek paths that lead towards inner calm and the deeper silences of the soul. Angels, messengers, in many forms; those whispering voices in poetry, writing, even painting and music. Messages when we are ready to hear them. We are all angels when we can find our 'voice' in our own lives. Interspersed with the author's own contemplations on this interesting, irritating, magnificent thing called life is a personal selection from loved writers, poets and others - of 'angel voices' - which have helped her over the years when she most needed them. The messages are everywhere for us; listen... and you may hear that 'sound which cannot be heard', the sound of life.
Say to These Mountains
Through the true story of Wallace Turnbull, one of Haiti's pioneers in development and missions, Say To These Mountains takes readers on a journey where grace and beauty shine into even the tightest crevices of brokenness, poverty, and loss. Over the course of 70 years, Wallace's work changed countless lives and influenced national policy in both Haiti and the United States. For his contributions, he was decorated with the National Order of Honor and Merit, Haiti's highest honor. As told by Wallace's granddaughter, this eloquent biography reveals the life of a complex man and his adopted country, painting a picture of hope and mercy vastly different from the often-grim stories shared about the island nation and her people. "How many children, how many elderly, how many generations were touched--how many survived--because of the work the Pastor has done?" -President Michel Martelly of Haiti during the bestowing of the Order of Honor and Merit to Wallace Turnbull
God Is No Stranger
This is a prayer book, but it is unlike many others you may have seen. This book is unique, not only because each prayer is accompanied by a striking photograph. but because each prayer is an example of sincere, heartfelt communication with God. This is a book which teaches the essence of true prayer. These prayers of Haitian Christians reflect the paradoxically childlike yet deep faith of a mountain people who have come to know God as a Friend acquainted with their culture and daily lives. These prayers are refreshing and heartwarming, sometimes almost humorous because of the homespun metaphors that are used. The photograph which accompanies each prayer tells a story by itself.

Bonnwit Kabrit

From the calico cat to the pink flowers of the bouganvillea to the sweet goat nestled beneath the starry sky, children will embark on an exciting bedtime journey as one by one they say, bonnwit. Words of Haitian Creole are sprinkled throughout the text to expand children's vocabulary and introduce them to a new language. A helpful pronunciation guide at the back teaches readers how to say the words aloud.
Janjak and Freda Go to the Citadelle
Cousins Janjak and Freda travel with their godmother to visit one of Haiti's most famous national treasures: the Citadel.

This English/Creole bi-lingual story is told in such a way that the characters, scenery, and plot will be meaningful to both English-speaking children and Creole-speaking children.

Haiti's scenery bursts through in vibrant color, and the bilingual text will keep children engaged while learning a new language.
