Life Lessons and Tales of Little MisFit: Book 1: Life Isn’t Always What It Seems by Dr. S K Grunin https://www.amazon.com/Life-Lessons-Tales-Little-MisFit/dp/B0G63HGY6T Ivy Sue Klutz (Little MisFit – LMF) finds one of her first memories confusing. This is when she is three and a half years old and is at her sister Lynn’s birthday party. Their cousin, Janet, asks the partygoers to guess what Lynn’s birthday present is as the truck delivering the present is backing up to the front porch of their house. Unbeknown to LMF, Janet told the other kids not to really guess that it’s a bike. You guessed – LMF guesses that her sister is getting a bike for her 5th birthday present. But instead of everyone being happy that LMF guessed the right thing, everyone is mad at her and none more than her mother. LMF runs off to her soon-to-be baby brother’s bedroom and tries to hide behind his dresser, with her mother hot on her heels, yelling at her all the way. From this experience and many others through her 4th grade years in school, LMF learns the Life Lesson that Life Isn’t Always What It Seems. Many people growing up are often made to feel inadequate or not to fi t in in situations, as a former probation officer, executive/life coach and professor, Dr. Susan Grunin, learned through humor and working with others – particularly children and young adults, how to fit in those uncomfortable situations. She believes that it is important that children learn at a young age how to manage these issues and to use humor to build their own self-esteem. Thus, she created, Little MisFit, (LMF) a fictional character, who through humorous tales, shares life lessons that she learns as she is growing up. Through these stories, LMF describes how she learned to overcome many life challenges and accept who she is as a person. Furthermore, the tales allow adults to share their own tales without coming off “too preachy” and to be able to share their own life lessons with their children and/or grandchildren or other loved ones.

The Book of You: Discovering Your God Story by Ericka P Greene https://www.amazon.com/Book-You-Discovering-Your-Story/dp/1647734347 Erickagreeneministries.com “No matter how your life story may read, God has another story, a true story that was written long before you were even born. Better yet, God wants to co-author that story with you.” The Book of You is for the woman who has been broken by life, the woman who struggles with what God says about her and what she has experienced, or how she views herself. The book takes you on a journey through the interwoven stories of five women in the Bible who were broken and discarded yet valued to be included in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Through the pages of their stories and others’ stories, Jesus wants to reconcile the seeming contradiction of your life story and the events that have left you feeling alone, without value or purpose. He wants to reveal your true identity and purpose throughout the pages of your life so that you can stand at the last chapter of your life having become who you are created to be and fulfill what you were created to do.
Take a Stand: A Look Within by Dr Shanequa E Wilson https://www.amazon.com/Take-Stand-Dr-Shanequa-Wilson/dp/B0GY1TCJZW Are you observing the collapse – or discerning your role in it? ________________________________________ In an age of moral compromise, fractured identity, and silent surrender, Take a Stand: A Look Within confronts a truth many refuse to face: The instability shaking nations is rooted in the instability within individuals. This is not a political argument. It is not cultural commentary. It is a summons to accountability before God. Dr. Shanequa E. Wilson exposes the war within – the internal erosion of conviction, the distortion of identity, and the quiet agreements made with fear, culture, and compromise. From generational foundations to modern-day deception, she dismantles false narratives that have shaped minds, weakened families, and diluted spiritual authority. Through biblical examination, national reflection, and personal confrontation, this work moves beyond observation and into repositioning. It challenges readers to: – Examine the internal agreements fueling external chaos – Discern the spiritual forces influencing societal direction – Reclaim identity grounded in truth – Stand with clarity in a time demanding courage This book is not designed for passive readers. It is written for those willing to confront themselves before confronting the world. The battle is not merely around you. It is within you. And where you stand internally determines what you will stand for publicly.

Children of Light by CB Anslie https://www.amazon.com/Children-Light-CB-Anslie/dp/9697192685 Cbanslie.com A rabbi with a secret will surrender his life in an incomprehensible battle against evil, while his friend, a priest with a dark past wrestles personal demons.

The priest must confront the truth about his connections to an ancient race when the responsibility falls to him to take up the torch as the next keeper of the Light. “Children of Light” is a unique premise that uncovers the power of collective memories.

The Man That I Would Become by Victor L Bretting Brettingtexanranch.com https://www.amazon.com/Man-That-Would-Become/dp/B0GVPR4SC9 Raised by a hardworking single mother whose grit, sacrifice, and faith shaped his life, Victor Bretting learned early that perseverance, responsibility, and character are forged through adversity. An eighth-generation Texan descended from Stephen F. Austin’s original Old 300 families, Victor began his career as a water boy on a nuclear power plant construction project at nineteen years old. Over the next fifty years, he worked his way through the ranks of the construction industry, eventually retiring as a vice president. Along the way, he became an internationally recognized outdoorsman, setting multiple world hunting records across six continents. But The Man That I Would Become is not a book about success. It is a book about becoming. Through stories of faith, failure, leadership, family, hunting, adversity, and personal growth, Victor shares the hard-earned lessons that shaped his life. From football fields and construction sites to hunting camps around the world, each chapter reveals the struggles, setbacks, victories, and moments of grace that helped form the man he would become. This inspiring memoir explores what it means to take responsibility, persevere through hardship, lead with integrity, and trust God’s plan when the road ahead is uncertain. It is a story for anyone who has ever faced adversity, questioned their purpose, or wondered what truly matters in life. Today, Victor and his family continue that mission through Bretting Texan Ranch (B-Tex Ranch) in North Texas, where wounded veterans, terminally ill children, and young men seeking purpose are welcomed to experience faith, fellowship, and the healing power of the outdoors. The Man That I Would Become is more than a memoir. It is a reminder that life’s greatest achievement is not measured by titles, wealth, or accomplishments, but by becoming the person God created you to be. This is Victor’s story and an invitation to visit the place where it all comes together: B-Tex Ranch. About the author Victor Bretting is an 8th-generation Texan part of the original Old 300 families who settled this land under Stephen F. Austin. He started his career as a water boy at a nuclear power plant at nineteen is an executive nearly fifty years later. He holds multiple world hunting records across six continents. At his ranch in North Texas, he opens the gates to combat veterans, terminally ill children, and young men who need to meet God. This is his story. And it is an invitation to visit the place where it all comes together at The Bretting Texan Ranch (B-Tex Ranch). With nearly five decades in the construction industry, he built his career from the ground up—earning every lesson through long days, hard work, and real responsibility. That same grit carried over into the outdoors, where he became a lifelong hunter and international sportsman, harvesting many species across five continents and earning multiple world records and top honors in the hunting community. Victor is the owner of Bretting Texan Ranch (B-Tex Ranch) in North Texas, where he has created more than a hunting operation. He’s built a place where people come to reconnect with the land, with each other, and with something greater than themselves. His ranch stands as a reflection of his values: hard work, stewardship, faith, and treating people like family. Victor is deeply committed to giving back through organizations like Hunting with Soldiers, which brings combat veterans into the outdoors to find healing from the weight of war, and Cross Trail Outfitters, a faith-based ministry dedicated to guiding young men and women through outdoor experiences rooted in Christ. At his ranch, these aren’t just events—they are moments of restoration, mentorship, and purpose. Whether it’s a veteran finding peace in the stillness of the land or a young hunter learning discipline and faith for the first time, Victor believes the outdoors is one of the last places where real transformation still happens.
