Nigeria A Lie?
Volume One by Victor Osadebamwen Amadin
Nigeria A Lie? Historical Perspective is a subtle yet powerful reflection on Nigeria’s formation, colonial foundations, and evolving national identity. Through thoughtful analysis and scholarly insight, the book examines the complex forces that shaped the Nigerian state while challenging readers to reconsider long-standing assumptions about unity, governance, leadership, and institutional development. Written for scholars, policy thinkers, students, and globally minded readers, this work blends history, political analysis, and cultural reflection to explore themes of resilience, diversity, and nation-building in a changing world. Rather than presenting loud political rhetoric, the book offers a calm, intellectual, and thought-provoking perspective that encourages a deeper understanding of Nigeria’s past, present, and future within the broader global landscape. Timeless, reflective, and internationally relevant, Nigeria A Lie? Historical Perspective is more than a history book—it is an invitation to engage critically with the foundations of one of Africa’s most influential nations and the enduring questions surrounding identity, statehood, and collective progress.

From the Danube to the Californias, from World War 2 to the American Dream
by Ildiko Bartnicki
Ildiko Bartnicki had a simple but secure childhood in her native Hungary. But soon there were whisperings of war—first came the arrival of refugees from Transylvania, then the isolation and segregation of her Jewish friends and neighbors. It was terrifying, yet nobody dared ask what was happening. After surviving the war, life was better, but without freedom of speech or the ability to travel or start her own business. In 1956, the unthinkable happened: a revolution. Many brave young people died, but without help from the West, their strength was no match against Soviet tanks. After immigrating to California, Ildiko became a scientific illustrator at the University of California, where she met and married a professor whose internationally respected work took him all around the world. She was fortunate to join him on many of his travels, finally free to see a world she never thought she could. This memoir tells the story of a remarkable woman whose life was shaped by war and revolution and who had the courage to start over.

The Strength Behind The Smile
by Carla Thompson
Have you ever received a diagnosis that hit you like a punch in the gut, folding you over and totally derailing your life? What about a prognosis that shortens that life and sets out to redefine its potential quality and worth? The Strength Behind The Smile is a thought-provoking and inspiring biographical account of a single lifetime riddled with exactly those sorts of unwelcome derailments, from childhood illnesses to kidney failure, years of dialysis, multiple transplants, multiple cancers, life-threatening complications, and so much more. And yet its author has never lost her smile. In fact, it has stood as a cornerstone in her fight not only to survive but to thrive … a solid foundation upon which she’s built a lifetime full of laughter in spite of the tears, positivity in spite of medically justified pessimism and bitterness, and the kind of love that lifts people up when they can’t find the strength to lift themselves. Life isn’t always fair, and buckling under the weight of that fact is rarely a choice. It’s just normal human frailty. But what we can choose is whether or not to let it continue crushing us. No matter the pain or illness, no matter the burden, with positivity— consciously chosen—we can find the strength and courage to keep living every day to its fullest … with a smile.

Forgotten Followers
from Broken to Bold by Elaine Ricker Kelly
AFTER YEARS OF SUBMISSION, Mara lives in anxiety and isolation, unsure of herself and her place in the world. But when her nephew Jesus is chased off a cliff, she is thrust into the unknown and forced to confront her deepest fears. As she struggles against the patriarchal oppression of ancient Rome and Judea and learns to love herself, Mara must also come to terms with her son's sexuality, learn to build female friendships and find her own voice. Meanwhile, Joanna grapples with hiding her biracial heritage to avoid being banished by the community as her father was. But as she begins to question her self-identity, she must make a choice: continue passing as something she is not or risk losing everything. When Jesus performs miraculous signs and teaches radical ideas of love and equality, Mara and Joanna are empowered and risk their lives to follow him. Forgotten Followers, the CIPA EVVY Silver Award Winner and Book 1 of the From Broken to Bold series, brings to life Mara, based on Mary of Clopas, Joanna, and other often-forgotten women of the Bible. Similar to Sue Monk Kidd's "The Book of Longings", this historical fiction challenges traditional narratives and addresses themes of racial and gender equality that still resonate today. For progressive Christians, exvangelicals, and those deconstructing their faith, Mara and Joanna's story of love and hope is a must-read. Don't miss out on this powerful retelling of the Gospels through a feminist and LGBTQ+ affirming lens. Join Mara and Joanna on their journey of healing and empowerment.
