Fundamentals of Power-Filled Living: How to Live a Power-Filled Life Through Daily Application of God's Word

        Lighted Cross in the Clouds


Fundamentals of Power-Filled Living: How to Live a Power-Filled Life Through Daily Application of God's Word

By Robert Canton


What Does It Mean to Live with God’s Power in Everyday Life?

At a time when faith-based and self-help writing often competes for attention with quick fixes and instant answers, Robert Canton’s Fundamentals of Power-Filled Living: How to Live a Power-Filled Life Through Daily Application of God’s Word takes a more grounded approach. Its central concern is not simply what Christians believe, but what those beliefs look like when practiced through prayer, trust, service, forgiveness, humility, and reliance on the Holy Spirit.

Canton writes from years of experience in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, including leading prayer meetings, giving spiritual talks, serving as a Catholic evangelist, and conducting healing and deliverance ministries in the United States and abroad. That ministry background gives the book an experiential quality. Scripture is not presented merely as something to study; it becomes a foundation for responding to uncertainty, weakness, conflict, responsibility, and spiritual struggle.

The scope is notably broad. Christian growth occupies the opening portion, with discussions of faith, surrender, trust, spiritual gifts, leadership, evangelization, forgiveness, and intercession before the book moves into spiritual warfare and healing. This structure makes Fundamentals of Power-Filled Living less like a single-topic devotional and more like a practical handbook for readers seeking consistency between faith and daily life.

That emphasis feels particularly relevant to contemporary Christian writers. Inspirational writing can encourage readers for a moment; application asks what happens after the page is turned. Canton repeatedly brings spiritual principles into human relationships and responsibilities. His discussion of leadership, for example, emphasizes love, compassion, humility, putting others ahead of personal preference, and focusing on the good of those being served. 

Those ideas also give the book significance beyond individual spirituality. A society shaped by more compassionate leadership, forgiveness instead of prolonged resentment, concern for others, and service rather than self-interest has greater room for healthier families, stronger communities, reconciliation, and responsible citizenship. Canton’s treatment of intercession similarly turns attention outward, presenting prayer as an act concerned with the needs and struggles of other people. 

Robert Canton’s work is worth discovering for readers seeking a faith-centered book that does not stop at inspiration but challenges Christian belief to become visible in everyday life.

Undo Me

 two dark figures down a hallway, with a picture of them on the floor.



Undo Me


At twenty-three, Emilia returns to the small town she once tried to escape, determined to begin again. With a new apartment, a place at City University, and dreams of becoming a writer, she is ready to take control of her future.
Then she meets Leon.

Dark, magnetic, and infuriatingly guarded, Leon is more than Emilia's across-the-hall neighbour. He is also her college project partner and the one man who refuses to be charmed by her beauty. Their attraction is immediate, their clashes electric, and staying away from each other soon becomes impossible.

But there is something unsettlingly familiar about Leon. Behind his cold smiles and wounded eyes lies a truth he refuses to reveal-a secret rooted in their shared past that Emilia no longer remembers.
As desire deepens into love, Leon's silence threatens to poison everything between them. Because some wounds never truly disappear, and when the past finally resurfaces, Emilia must decide whether their love was ever real-or whether the man she trusted entered her life only to destroy it.

Some people break your heart. Others undo you completely.

Educational Protégé Program: A Practical and Engaging Way to Mentor

Educational Protégé Program:

A Practical and Engaging Way to Mentor

By Leatrice D. Williams


Teaching Beyond Academics: The Power of Guidance and Care

Starting a teaching career can be exhilarating, but it can also leave new educators facing questions that no handbook fully answers. How should a classroom be organized? What happens when a lesson falls flat? Who can offer guidance without making a beginning teacher feel evaluated instead of supported?


Leatrice D. Williams places those everyday realities at the center of Educational Protégé Program: A Practical and Engaging Way to Mentor. Rather than treating mentoring as an occasional check-in, the book presents it as a structured professional relationship built on trust, communication, reflection, and consistent support.

The book moves from groundwork into the details educators often need when turning an idea into practice. Readers encounter guidance on mentor and protégé roles, preparation timelines, training and orientation, resource binders, professional portfolios, virtual mentoring, classroom observations, and program reviews. It also includes sample forms for applications, confidentiality agreements, self-assessments, lesson reflection, classroom walkthroughs, and evaluations.

At the heart of the program is a simple but important distinction: mentors are there to guide, not to judge. Williams emphasizes relationships in which experienced teachers listen, encourage questions, help establish realistic goals, share resources, recognize progress, and remain accountable. For protégés, that kind of relationship can turn uncertainty into confidence and make professional growth feel less isolated.

The book also widens the conversation beyond the mentor and beginning teacher. Coordinators, administrators, and district leaders all have responsibilities in creating an environment where support is organized, expectations are clear, and teachers have room to develop. Month-by-month planning reinforces that mentoring is presented as an ongoing commitment rather than a one-day orientation.

For educators, school leaders, mentor coordinators, and districts searching for a more intentional way to support new or transferring teachers, Educational Protégé Program offers a detailed framework shaped by classroom experience and a clear respect for the profession.

Readers interested in strengthening teacher development, professional relationships, and long-term support can discover Leatrice D. Williams’s Educational Protégé Program: A Practical and Engaging Way to Mentor

Every School Day is a New Day: Community Involvement: Book 3

  Landscape of People in Community



Every School Day is a New Day:

Community Involvement: Book 3

By: Leatrice D. Williams


“When Parents, Teachers, and Communities Guide Children Together, Every School Day Becomes a Step Toward Confidence, Character, and a Brighter Future.”

A meaningful education rarely ends when the classroom door closes. In Every School Day Is a New Day: Community Involvement, educator Leatrice D. Williams turns attention toward the people, partnerships, and real-world experiences that help students understand their place within a larger community.

The third installment in Leatrice’s Short Stories of a Teacher’s Experience series gathers firsthand accounts from a career shaped by initiative, compassion, and a willingness to look beyond traditional instruction. Her stories move through community character walks, food and clothing drives, letters written to veterans, spelling bees, honor roll ceremonies, courthouse visits, youth leadership programs, and service projects that encourage students to recognize the needs of others.

Rather than presenting education as a process limited to assignments and test scores, Leatrice shows how learning can become more memorable when students are invited to participate. Packing meals for families in need teaches teamwork. Collecting donations introduces responsibility and generosity. Meeting veterans gives gratitude a human face. Visiting civic institutions transforms abstract lessons into experiences students can see, hear, and remember.

What gives the collection its personality is about Leatrice direct storytelling, the experiences are not presented as distant theories or carefully polished case studies. They are personal, practical, sometimes humorous, and occasionally uncomfortable. That candor allows readers to see both the rewards and complications of teaching within a changing community.

Students may discover ideas that can be adapted for classrooms and school programs. Parents and community leaders may gain a deeper appreciation for the relationships that support student development. The children may simply enjoy meeting a teacher who repeatedly found ways to turn ordinary school days into opportunities for service, recognition, curiosity, and connection.

Every School Day Is a New Day: Community Involvement offers a grounded reminder that education becomes stronger when students are given reasons to care about the world beyond themselves. Readers interested in teaching, youth development, civic participation, and the lasting influence of dedicated educators can discover the book through

The Voice That Resonates

   Heart with Bright Light Coming Out of it



The Voice That Resonates

By Cheryl Knoll


What Happens When the Soul’s Quietest Voice Finally Becomes Impossible to Ignore?

Some books offer answers. Others create enough stillness for readers to hear the answers already forming within them. Cheryl Knoll’s The Voice That Resonates belongs to the latter—a reflective collection that explores what can happen when the noise of fear, expectation, heartbreak, and ego begins to fade.

Blending poetic meditations with personal spiritual reflections, Knoll writes about the inner voice she understands as a divine presence rooted in love, wisdom, and truth. This voice is not presented as something loud or commanding. It appears through subtle realizations, moments of solitude, encounters with nature, emotional healing, and the gradual awakening of the soul.

At the heart of the book is expansive love—not simply romantic affection, but a healing force that moves inward and outward. Knoll considers love as a place of being, a source of light, and a connection to God and universal consciousness. Her reflections encourage readers to look beyond external approval and recognize the spiritual worth that already exists within them.

The collection is also remarkably honest about the obstacles along that path. Heartbreak, silence, longing, rejection, and the lingering habits of an empath’s ego are not hidden behind polished spiritual language. Instead, they become part of the awakening. Knoll examines how emotional attachment can disturb inner peace and how surrender, self-respect, and acceptance can restore it.

That emotional openness gives the book much of its character. Some passages feel like prayers. Others resemble conversations with the soul. Several carry the rhythm of poetry, while longer reflections explore identity, relationships, gratitude, solitude, spiritual consciousness, and the difference between the authentic self and the labels created by the ego.

Nature also becomes a quiet teacher throughout the book. Trees, birds, storms, flowers, light, water, and changing seasons reflect resilience and renewal. These familiar images make abstract spiritual ideas feel personal and accessible, especially for readers learning to recognize meaning in ordinary moments.

The Voice That Resonates may appeal to readers of spirituality, contemplative poetry, personal transformation, and faith-centered reflection. It is designed less as a book to rush through and more as one to revisit—a few pages at a time, with space afterward to consider what resonates.

For book lovers seeking a sincere exploration of love, awakening, and the soul’s quiet wisdom, Cheryl Knoll’s work offers a meaningful place to pause and listen.
