Echoes of God in the Refreshing Springs


Book Description

This book was birthed out of nature walks where I longed to be alone with God and where I sought to hear his voice in the Echoes of the Refreshing Springs. I yearned to seek God's face and escape the norm, the noisy crowds and the masses of people I pass on this journey called life. As a mother of five, my life revolves around them, and as much as I love my children, I do need a break from them at times. These nature walks became my pavilion, my hiding place where just God and I could spend time together. LaShawn Ferguson, a.k.a. Desmonia Adedayo, is a minister at New Home Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Bobby Hicks. She is the author of Nuggets of Wisdom: Reflections of a Journey. She graduated from Evangel School of the Bible with a major in Biblical studies. She is the founder of the Poetic Voices Ministry at New Home Baptist Church and is also the founder of the Poets Corner, located in Brookland Manor Apartments, NE, Washington, D.C., serving the DC inner city gifted youths. She has been blessed to travel to the Motherland, Kenya, Africa, to preach the Gospel. She has a passion for people and believes that when the Saints of truly come together then we can evangelize the nations. Her desire is to one day have a home for women that have suffered abuse and are unsure of what their purpose is in life. She is a woman that can relate to pain and adversity in life, feeling forsaken by all and loved by none and would love for all humanity to taste of the goodness of God's everlasting love.




Sudden Spring


Book Description

The results of climate change make the headlines almost daily. All across America and the globe, communities have to adapt to rising sea levels, intensified storms, and warmer temperatures. One way or another, climate change will be a proving ground. We will either sink, in cases where the land is subsiding, or swim, finding ways to address these challenges. While temperatures and seas are rising slowly, we have some immediate choices to make. If we act quickly and boldly, there is a small window of opportunity to prevent the worst. We can prepare for the changes by understanding what is happening and taking specific measures. There is "commitment" already in the climate change system. To minimize those effects will require another kind of commitment, the kind Rick Van Noy illustrates in these stories about a climate-distressed South. Like Rachel Carson's groundbreaking work Silent Spring, Rick Van Noy's Sudden Spring is a call to action to mitigate the current trends in our environmental degradation. By highlighting stories of people and places adapting to the impacts of a warmer climate, Van Noy shows us what communities in the South are doing to become more climate resilient and to survive a slow deluge of environmental challenges.
