Vanessa Williams

In January 1785, a young African American woman named Elizabeth was put on board the Lucretia in New York Harbor, bound for Charleston, where she would be sold to her fifth master in just twenty-two years. Leaving behind a small child she had little hope of ever seeing again, Elizabeth was faced with the stark reality of being sold south to a life quite different from any she had known before. She had no idea that Robert Townsend, a son of the family she was enslaved by, would locate her, safeguard her child, and return her to New York--nor how her story would help turn one of America's first spies into an abolitionist. Robert Townsend is best known as one of George Washington's most trusted spies, but few are aware of how he worked to end slavery. As Robert and Elizabeth's story unfolds, prominent figures from history cross their path, including Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Benedict Arnold, John Andr , and John Adams, as well as participants in the Boston Massacre, the Sons of Liberty, the Battle of Long Island, Franklin's Paris negotiations, and the Benedict Arnold treason plot.

Key to the Kingdom is a story that will teach children the good news that Jesus loves them, and has a plan for their life. This story was written after praying for a unique Easter program for a small country church outreach. Jesus used parables to explain things when he walked on earth, and this parable explains that he is the Key to the Kingdom on a child's level. The story explains sin, separation from God, and why the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are so important. It is hoped that this book will reach a generation of children that will fall in love with Jesus and receive him into their heart and become a part of his kingdom.

From singer, actress, and dancer Vanessa Williams comes a sweet, sparkling story about a young girl whose beloved pet fish has wonderful, magical powers. She gives me bubble kisses, bubble kisses as she swims by in the water. She never misses with her bubble kisses. And I'm so glad I got her. A young girl adores her goldfish, Sal. But Sal is no ordinary pet: while she can't fetch a ball or curl up on a lap, she can give bubble kisses that transform the girl into a mermaid and transport her to a world of underwater adventures. There, beneath the sea, they play, sing, and dance with other mermaids. The catchy, breezy, rhymed tale is perfect for bedtime, and the book includes a CD plus a link to a digital download.

The purpose of this book is to shed some light on Jesus' prayer and show how it can be used in our everyday lives and to show how fear is the unknown partner in not putting God 1st in the handling of daily dilemmas. John 17:1-5 is labeled in the King James Version as "Jesus Prays for Himself." Recognizing that Jesus died for all, this now ends the separation from His praying for the Disciples and His praying for future believers. In second part John 17:6-19, of Jesus' prayer is labeled as "Jesus Prays for His Disciples. Recognizing that Jesus wants all to go out and spread to Good News, (1Tim 4:11-16) after his death this makes all of us who wants to be Disciples, Disciples for God. In John 17:20-26, the last section is labeled as "Jesus Prays for Future Believers," Jesus includes us in His plan though we were not even born yet. Which brings me to the question of; Why do we listen to fear's whispers so often?

In You Are WHY You Eat, food becomes a digestible metaphor. If you are gorging and numbing yourself with food, are you doing the same thing in life? Instead of trying to please others all the time, what would happen if you listened to your inner voice? What if you could find a way to stop eating, stop working at a bad job, stop a bad relationship before you walk down the aisle—stop anything when you are full? Understanding WHY you eat can lead to real and lasting change--both in your weight loss and all other areas of your life. You Are WHY You Eat teaches readers to take back control in their lives. Dr. Ramani takes a fresh, brave, and edgy approach to self-help. She teaches you to unearth that inner voice, and let it be heard. She turns all of your childhood teachings upside down and forces you to take responsibility for your choices in life. Through real-life anecdotes and exercises, she gives you the tools you need to live on your terms, not those of the stakeholders that surround you. It will help you trust yourself and act from the gut, while making that gut smaller at the same time. And in so doing, it will help people live lives that are braver, more authentic, and less riddled with regret. You can change your food attitude and change your life! [
