'Based on the true story of Shade Reed'In this true-life story of Shade Reed, we get to see that in many ways we suffer collectively. So often we feel alone when there are literally thousands of people experiencing our exact same pain. It's a little ironic if you think about it. Because of this loneliness, this abandoned feeling often leads us down slippery roads. Which really just makes things worse. The truth is, at the end of the day. Not a single one of us is alone! Shade found that out the hard way."Shade is a strong man of God, founded in the Word and led by the Holy Spirit. His personal testimony is a true example of the sovereignty of God and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am honored to serve the Lord with a man such as Shade and pleased to call him brother." J. Brett Prince

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like, you know, to walk a mile in another man's shoes. The devil is laughing alright! Not only am I practically a junkie again, I'm also cheating on my wife with a married woman. This isn't backsliding. This is diving head first into a bucket full of shit. And I'm so numb I can't even smell it."Somehow, everything had just kind of snowballed, and David didn't even know how it got that bad. But the devil did!

Hi, I'm Paul. I'm not quite sure what happened but I woke up and everything in my world was different. I don't quite know what to make of it. Everyone else is acting like this is normal. Like this is the way it has always been. I seem to be the only one who knows that it's not. I just don't know what to do about it.

On any given day the streets are busy with the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Too many cars causing angry frustrated road-rage. People packed like sardines at the pedestrian crossing focused on where they need to go. Overpopulated to the point you could smell the sweat on the sardine next to you, and if you are lucky maybe you'd get a whiff of perfume. Beggars and homeless searching through trash cans for a desperate meal. This is a normal day in the pulsating energy of city life. Until... Everyone went home. Even the homeless went home. The streets became eerie and the silence screamed. Not a single car. Not a single person. Just a lone bird flapping off in freedom. Overnight the entire world became a ghost town. Who or what has enough power to send the entire world home?

I think in some ways we are all aware that there is an unseen world that exists simultaneously with ours. So the question is not whether it exists or not. But rather, how much does it affect our lives? Does our personal belief system affect these unseen forces? Or is it all pretty much out of our hands?

From bondage to breakthrough. McKenzie McAdoo spent 15 years in some of the world's toughest prisons. That kind of time changes a man.Avlon McCreadie: "When I approached Mac and offered to turn his testimony into a biography, I had no idea what I was getting into. So many times, we just had to stop. He had to stop telling me his story and I had to stop writing. It was just that painful. Painful for him to relive and painful for me to hear. But after a short respite, he forged on to the very end. Mac's biography is a truth well worth reading.""In this true testimony of McKenzie McAdoo you see how the light of God shines through the darkness. Jesus Christ makes old life new, Jesus says, 'Come to Me all who are heavy burdened, and I will give you rest' He has given you that rest brother Mac.May God's peace continue to fill your cup always." Shade Reed

Hi I'm Paul. I have a gift. I see people inside out. Not literally, that would be gross! Good people shine. They have light under their skin and bad people have shadows. The shadows are scary and evil. Now I can hear them too! The shadows are always whispering suggestions to be bad. Most shadow people don't know that they have a choice. They don't actually have to listen to those suggestions. I try to help them figure that out. That's not always easy. It's not like I can just walk up to them and say 'Erm you got a bunch of evil shadows crawling around under your skin. I think I can help you with that.' Light is the only thing that scares them away. And sometimes even that doesn't work!

Based on the true story of a boy who was institutionalized at the age of two. He suffered brutal abuse and heart-breaking tragedy. Unable to process the depths of his own reality he became lost. Lost and meaningless. And just when it seemed he would drown in despair, someone started looking for him...

We never have to live in bondage or darkness. Each and every one of us has the ability to lift ourselves out of the darkness of circumstance and into the light. But how do we do that? When our marriages are falling apart, or our finances are a mess. When poverty, crime, illness, and death surround us daily. How do we find the light?
