New Releases by Nancy D Sheppard

When nine year-old Jason Steward becomes the owner of a baby mongoose, he is sure that he can take care of him and keep him out of trouble. But Pepper is as full of life and spice as Liberian hot pepper and Jason soon finds himself in a dilemma only God, through prayer, can solve. But where is God when Jason prays? 

Missionary author Nancy Sheppard and her photographer daughter Heidi team up to create a fanciful and colorful Liberian tale. Not unlike the real-life adventures of Heidi and her four siblings as they enjoyed their childhoods in Africa, this coming-of-age story has at its heart a lovable family pet. The engaging narrative in combination with the beauty of the photos will delight readers of all ages.

When Mark and Nancy Sheppard began missionary service in Liberia, Nancy had no idea what God would ask of her. Their idyllic first term was followed by the Liberian Civil War and a nightmarish year working among Liberian refugees in the Ivory Coast. Conditions were difficult, expectations overwhelming and the tensions of the war at their doorstep. Fear, self-pity, resentment and depression haunted her. God used Nancy's difficult decision to follow her husband's leadership and remain in refugee work to begin an amazing spiritual journey—one that led to a clearer understanding of biblical womanhood as well as a deeper relationship with the Lord and with her husband. The book chronicles Nancy's journey to true peace in the midst of very difficult circumstances. As God teaches her about genuine service, submission, sincere prayer, reverence and humility, she is totally and completely transformed. The scenarios are unique to Nancy, but every seeking Christian can fully identify with the spiritual lessons.

A unique reading experience, this interactive eBook contains many full color pictures as well as links to pertinent YouTube videos. This Kindle edition of "Confessions of a Transformed Heart" will not disappoint!

(The Youth Edition removes some of the more detailed explanations of the war and Liberian culture that may not be appropriate for younger readers.)
