Another Hour on a Sunday Morning


Book Description

Julia and her adopted brother, David, are sixteen-years-old. Julia is white. David is black. It is the mid-1980s and their family has just moved to rural Indiana, a landscape of cottonwood trees, trailer parks, and an all-encompassing racism. At home are a distant mother--more involved with her church's missionaries than her own children--and a violent father. In this riveting and heartrending memoir Julia Scheeres takes us from the Midwest to a place beyond imagining: surrounded by natural beauty, the Escuela Caribe--a religious reform school in the Dominican Republic--is characterized by a disciplinary regime that extracts repentance from its students by any means necessary. Julia and David strive to make it through these ordeals and their tale is relayed here with startling immediacy, extreme candor, and wry humor.

Searching for the Truth on Sunday Morning


Book Description

Every Sunday morning both new Christians and old Christians go from church to church hoping to hear the teachings of Jesus rather than man-made rules. Also on Sunday morning are people that don’t go to church for whatever reason. They may or may not believe in God yet but as you read the Bible you feel like these people are also ones Jesus hopes to reach. This book takes us through the steps of finding God and they all start with Jesus. Using only the Bible we see what Jesus said about accepting Him and being saved. Using the scripture we look at His teachings on baptism, the Holy Spirit, tithing and finally what church we can go to on a Sunday morning to hear His words. The book points to the ministers Jesus said we must follow to be following Him. When we go to His chosen church we expect to be blessed every Sunday morning with the gentle words from Jesus and feel the humble Spirit of God. When people find this way they feel like they are finally part of His flock that Jesus talked about. This church is found around the world but until now nothing but the Bible itself has been written about them. The second half of the book also has many surprises including why there are so many different churches with different opinions on how to follow Jesus. Maybe the most shocking revelation is finding out what happened to the Pharisee Jews that Jesus warned us about so many times that ended up having Him killed. The world thinks the Pharisees just blended back into the Jewish population, but they never, they left Israel and started a new church that is still going today.
