On June 7th, 2015, Prioritybooks Publications and New Jerusalem Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted a Christian Literary Brunch in East St. Louis, Illinois.  The featured author and speaker was Pat Simmons, a national best-selling and award-winning author from Florissant, MO.  

We had a great time as Pat discussed her journey in writing, gave valuable information to aspiring writers and a testimony about this journey.  The late lunch was great, the people were happy and Pat sold her books.  There were about 40 people there.  The PathFinders, a Christian Stepping youth group performed.  We enjoyed Pat and her husband. It was a nice evening.

We are looking forward to repeating this brunch next year and presenting other literary activities.  Literacy and being a good reader is so important to our community, and our goal is to encourage more people to read and support authors.

Lady Bea Morgan

Lady Bea Morgan has been set free from the hands of two abusive husbands; the first husband a cocaine user, the second husband a pastor. Because of the spirit of forgiveness, she is grateful to the Lord for allowing her misery to minister to the hurting.
Lady Bea believes that giving up something for God releases His blessings to us. She teaches that vengeance is not ours, but the Lord’s. Therefore, regardless to the trouble we’re facing, we don’t have to fight physically, but with intense prayer and fasting. She teaches that peace of mind in the midst of our strong winds and tumultuous storms is inevitable when our faith is not in man, but God.
We offered her book The Pastor’s Wife Does Cry on Kindle. It ends tonight. Did you get her ebook free? Win her follow up with a comment! Like our page @

A Sinner’s Cry

When Denise Reese was awakened out of her sleep by her cell phone ringing, she didn’t realize that it was the first sign of her world crumbling. Through the whisper of a stranger, the man and relationship that she held dear was now fully compromised. Feeling distraught and alone Denise decided to find solace in the arms of her mother and the church that she had been lapse from. Attempting to find redemption, the newly appointed pastor James Davis tries to lead his flock through the dissension within the walls of his church. While Pastor Davis and Denise Reese struggles to find an equilibrium in their lives, they also begin to examine the attraction between each other.

Rose Jackson-Beavers weaves an intricate tapestry of desire, lies, and conviction in her novel A Sinner’s Cry. By creating a dichotomy between the relationships of man and woman, God and church, and sinner and saint, the reader is given a realistic view of the struggles of multiple people who find solace in and out of a church’s holy walls. Using the protagonist as a tool of realistic morality, the reader is able to observe the mistakes that can easily befall one, while realizing that no problem is ever just black or white; there are always various hues of gray. The author pens a bold novel that tows the line between desire and love for a mature audience.

As the Denise Reese attempts to climb toward redemption, her stumbles remind us all that as humans none of us are perfect. However, it is the way we get back up that defines our character. Whether you are weak or strong, Rose Jackson-Beaver’s book, A Sinner’s Cry helps lead the reader to the forgiving power of God, whether struggling saint, or crying sinner.

A Mother's Reflection (Handbook & Journal)

What if your child ran away from home, what you do? What if they went to a family member or friend’s home and that person decided to turn your child against you because deep down they despised you? What would you do? Carletta Washington never dreamed that her worst nightmare could ever come true. Nor could anyone tell her that her family would betray her trust but they did. In her newest book, A Mother’s Perspective, she shares what happened to her child and what you can do to prevent the same village she hoped would protect her child from doing the most harm.

Who’s in Your Child’s Village?

Many people are familiar with the African proverb of: “It takes a village to raise a child.” Though some have relied on this method of child rearing, others might not have anticipated the importance of their children’s village. Carletta Washington is all too familiar with the concept and the dangers that lie in wait in the special village of our children’s lives.

In Carletta Washington’s book A Mother’s Reflection: Protecting Your Child from Harmful Influences, she allows complete transparency into her journey of becoming a mother, the feelings of loss and negativity when the child she loves rebels and flees, and the redemption she feels by the silver linings that came with this torrent of clouds.

Through sharing her own personal experiences, Washington shares a tempest of information that could not only help mothers that are dealing with similar experiences, but to help point the warning signs of potential behaviors and influences that could be detrimental to your child’s well-being.

By revealing the importance of a healthy and encouraging atmosphere for your child, Washington also encourages the need to examine what things are in our children’s villages that might cause them to become self-destructive. Within the confines of this powerful read, Carletta Washington encourages parents who are in the process of raising their children into responsible adults, and heeds: “Who is in your child’s village?”
