After

2015

Sixty thousand people watched as famous singer Candace Rodriguez fell off the stage while performing the national anthem, wrecking her self-esteem—and her music career—while leaving her manager hot with fury. Now weighing 350 pounds and jilted by her fiancé after the shame of her public fall, can she find another chance at true love? And will her new Christian faith anchor her future hopes? Former highbrow stock trader, "JB" Patrickson has had enough of life making mockery of his future plans as he lived behind the shadow of his father’s pronouncement that he'd never make it more than selling "chick’n” stock in Kentucky. Proving his father wrong, JB succeeded at the NY Stock Exchange, becoming one of the best US traders...until the market crashed in 2008. Seven years later and mired in debt, he can't shake the urge that God is leading him down a different path. The path of accepting his grandmother's request to come and help her manage her farm, hundreds of miles away—despite his little-to-nothing knowledge about farming. But first, JB had to confront the fear that he’d fallen so low that toiling with his hands was the only way to put food on the table. What future could God plan for him on a farm? Twenty years after returning to the US from a fulfilling medical mission in Asia, Dr. and Dr. Mrs. Cantwell gratefully send off two sons to college, purchase a flourishing twenty-acre farm, and prepare to settle into their empty nest stage. But what will they do if God leads one more life into their path, one needing stitches of the soul not of the body? Can they answer His call to service, or will overlooked pain from the past threaten the fragile peace they'd so desperately coaxed into existence in their marriage? If you have not read After, you are missing out. See God turn hopelessness into Hope, transform an end into a new beginning, heal brokenness and turn crushed lives into excellent masterpieces! AFTER is Book One of many which spotlight hope in CHRIST, faith, courage, and strength in times of despair. Get your copy now and find Hope! ★★★★★ "Thank you for giving After to the world. I am a life that was changed."

After 3

2017

After she reached her limit, she stumbled into a miracle. A down-on-his-luck renowned author in hiding, stumbles into a forgotten Christian supermodel in crisis, on Day Spring Farms. What could go wrong—or right? As far as former supermodel Rachel Song was concerned, her best modeling days—and the good cash it brought along—were over, thanks to her age and a medical condition beyond her control. Stuck with debt, and working a low-paying job, she finds herself doubting an opportunity to revisit her modeling days, was from God. Will she follow through on her promise to be part of this new venture, or will the rejections she'd suffered impact her obedience to God? Since the day his late fiancée died, New York Times bestselling author, Al Dove had kept one promise to himself—to keep breathing until he died too—and to do nothing more. He was no longer interested in anything life had to offer him beyond breathing, eating and sleeping. When a knock at the door, and a sharp awakening led him to revisit his decision, he attempts to pick up the pieces of his life from shambles. Can he see a possible future with God and the people around him in it, or will he remain blinded by grief? AFTER 3 is Book Four of the After, New Beginnings & The Excellence Club Christian Inspirational series by award winning USA Today bestselling author Joy Ohagwu. Get your copy today!
