Synopsis

When Edith was six months old her mother died, leaving her father with five daughters, a disgrace in the eyes of the community. Twelve years later he was murdered. Edith started school when she was nine, paying for her education by gathering bamboo shoots in the forest and growing coffee.

An orphan girl in rural Uganda had two options: to be sold into a multiple marriage ? or prostitution. Edith prayed, ?Please don?t let me be like other girls. And, Lord, if I must marry, let him be a poor man.?

Her marriage to David Wakumire has broken many traditions. During Idi Amin?s years of terror, Edith did her teacher training in Kampala, while David smuggled bibles into Uganda for Open Doors. Her sister was Amin?s secretary.

In 1991, after leadership training in Singapore, Edith founded the church-based Uganda Women Concern Ministry. Their volunteers now care for over 11,000 affected by HIV/Aids and sponsor the education of many orphans. In 1998 Kofi Annan presented her with a certificate for her work at the United Nations, New York.

Edith now speaks as a world authority on the relationship between Aids, poverty and a woman?s place in society.

Margaret Spivey has written several books for children. She lived in East Africa for many years and returned to Uganda to learn about Edith?s remarkable life.

Roz Hime says: This is the story of how one woman, with God?s help ? and an untraditional marriage ? transformed her life and changes the lives of everyone she meets. If you care about women?s rights, education, Aids, Africa, compassion and hope, Edith?s story is for you.

Breaking Free: Discover the Victory of Total Surrender

By: Beth Moore

A best-selling book now available in paperback for the first time!

Do you want to know God and really believe Him? Do you want to find satisfaction in God, experience His peace, and enjoy His presence? Do you want to make the freedom Christ promised a reality in your daily life?

In Breaking Free, Beth Moore embarks on a study of selected passages from the book of Isaiah, drawing several parallels between the captive Israelites and today’s Christians, in order to show how to make freedom in Christ a daily reality. Moore teaches readers to remove obstacles that hinder freedom by identifying spiritual strongholds in their lives and overcoming them through the truth of God’s Word—truth that will set us free.

Dating God

By: Jocelynn M. Burton

Have you found yourself in a place of waiting? Are you wondering what you are waiting for? Well that?s where I found myself just a few years ago. God showed me not only what I was waiting for, but Who I was waiting for too.

This book is for all of you who are confused, frustrated, broken and tired. I?d like to give you some hope. And show you a new way of thinking. What started as a fun guide for a friend became so much more. It?s a story of God from another perspective. It?s how God showed Himself to me, in a way I could understand. And now I?m on a mission to help others understand God in their own language. Some people are book learners, others need visuals. God understood me and knew what I needed to understand Him, and I?m going to tell you how He did that.

After a promise made to God, He handed me a spiritual compass and all He said was to go where it leads. Inside you?ll find where it has taken me so far.

Don?t let a broken relationship, bad family experience, horrible work environment, or anything else you can think of keep you from getting to know God better. Let God use your life to teach you about His love. Don?t believe it?s possible? Well, inside this book I?ll prove that wrong. So go ahead, try to prove otherwise, I DARE you. ;)

Until Our Last Breath

By: Laurel Corona, Michael Bart

At Leizer Bart’s funeral, one of the mourners told his son Michael that the gravestone should include a reference to the Freedom Fighters of Nekamah, to honor his late father’s involvement in the Jewish resistance movement in Vilna (now Vilnius), Lithuania, at the end of World War II. Michael had never heard his parents referenced as Freedom Fighters.

Following his father’s death, and with his mother in failing health, Michael embarked on a ten-year research project to find out more details about his parents’ time in the Vilna ghetto, where they met, fell in love, and married, and about their activities as members of the Jewish resistance. Until Our Last Breath is the culmination of his research, and his parents’ story of love and survival is seamlessly tied into the collective story of the Vilna ghetto, the partisans of Vilna, and the wider themes of world history.

Zenia, Bart’s mother, was born and raised in Vilna. Leizer fled there to escape the Nazi invasion of his hometown of Hrubieshov in Poland. They were married by one of the last remaining rabbis ninety days before the liquidation of the ghetto. Leizer was friends with Zionist leader Abba Kovner and became a member of the Vilna ghetto underground. Shortly before the total liquidation of the ghetto, Zenia and Leizer, along with about 120 members of the underground, were able to escape to the Rudnicki forest, about 25 miles away. They became part of the Jewish partisan fighting group led by Abba Kovner—known as the Avengers—which carried out sabotage missions against the Nazi army and eventually participated in the liberation of Vilna.

Until Our Last Breath is intensely personal and painstakingly researched, a lasting memorial to the Jews of Vilna, including the resistance fighters and the author’s family.
