Can endurance and faith sustain the love between a white woman and a black man, threatened by rejection, guilt, and racial injustice? Can love alone reconcile their starkly different worlds, lighting the way to a bright future together?

When graduate student, Tori Pendola, a white American woman, and Jebuni Kalitsi, a Ghanaian exchange student and heir to his tribe's chieftaincy, fall deeply in love, they must face not only their own inner demons of rejection and guilt but also the demons of societal hatred bent on destroying their relationship. Will their love survive the cruel and bitter attacks against them? Or will hatred and prejudice gain the upper hand?

In Black and White is a deeply moving story of the power of God's love to restore all that is broken in their lives.

Making Your Marriage Work
 Paperback 

Are you having marriage problems? Has the "umph" left your relationship with your spouse? Is the person you once loved most the person you now can't stand to be around? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you.

BR>Just as there are physical laws that govern the universe--such as the law of gravity--there are spiritual laws that govern marriage.  Violating these laws results in disaster, just as violating the law of gravity results in disaster.  Nor is there room to plead ignorance.  If you jump off a tall building, you will fall to the ground whether or not you know about the law of gravity.  The same holds true in marriage.  If you violate the laws of marriage, you'll get hurt and your marriage will suffer, whether you know those laws or not.BR>
