A Life That Looks Like Love

by John Harrity

About the book

A Life That Looks Like Love invites readers into John Harrity's remarkable journey of transformation after a near-fatal heart attack left him physically changed and spiritually awakened. Through candid storytelling and practical wisdom, Harrity reveals how his brush with death ignited a deep longing to live out the Great Commandment: to love God, neighbor, and self with authenticity and courage. This compelling book challenges us to move beyond labels and judgments, to practice generosity and truth with compassion, and to build relationships and communities where love is truly felt. In a world marked by division, it offers a powerful call to make love the foundation of everything we do.

My Success, His Glory!: From Severity to Success...to the Overflow

by LaVeka Hall

About the book

They said she was finished. God said she was just beginning. In her first memoir, LaVeka shared with the world how she had survived. In My Success, His Glory! she goes back into the hardest rooms and turns on the light — the battles she never mentioned, the people who counted her out, and the God who would not let her go. This is the story of what came after: relearning her own name, fighting for her daughter, rising from a sheltered workshop to a counselor's chair, and discovering that pain and purpose can sit at the same table. From severity to success... to the overflow. A testimony for anyone the world has ever underestimated.
