You are invited to step inside the office of Rev. Joshua Branford where deep and dark secrets are revealed. “The Pastor’s Secrets,” by Debra B. Spencer explores a private world of counseling and confessions through riveting short stories. Pastor Branford searches to find Godly meaning, compassion and understanding in the choices, circumstances and lives of his counselees. Tales of joy, sorrow, murder, rape, adultery, incarceration and deceit unfold in his private counseling sessions. In this series listen as Pastor Branford counsels a teenager who considers herself a virgin even after contracting HIV by having oral sex with a friend. See a mother who struggles to find forgiveness in her heart for the murderer of her child. Discover the critically ill father of a new member who declares, “If there is a God, and I don’t believe that there is one, I hate him! Feel the anxiety of the wife of an incarcerated man planning to restart their lives upon his release. Joshua Branford is a young pastor adapting to the rigorous schedule of pasturing Hope & Grace Christian Center and his dedicated responsibility to his family. It is his goal to help church members and their loved ones to see God during incredible challenges and triumphs. Pastor Branford is a self-proclaimed work in progress who strives daily to improve his own relationship with Christ. His development as a man of God is strengthened by his counseling work. A devoted father, Pastor Branford spends a large amount of time away from home. His youngest child, Penny is an extremely inquisitive child.  Through her innocent questioning she often motivates her father to peer deeply into his own soul, and to examine his beliefs and motivations. Pastor Branford uses love, humor and God as the staples of his home. The exchanges between him and his family are meaningful and relatable. Anyone at any time can experience tragedy, deception, confusion and more. Can Pastor Branford steer his members to a place of healing, love and strength? Will he be able to bring awareness without judgment and lead members to their best solutions? Beware after reading these stories; you may never look at the person sitting next to you in the church pew, on the bus or even at your own dinner table the same.

<p>Charting a century's worth of innovation and experimentation in the creation of music, Soundbreaking offers a behind-the-scenes look at the birth of new sounds--and features original interviews with twenty-one of the most celebrated artists, producers, and music industry pioneers of our time. This book was inspired by the eight-part Grammy- and Emmy-nominated film series Soundbreaking: Stories from the Cutting Edge of Recorded Music, one of the most wide-ranging series on the art of music recording and the last project of the late legendary music producer Sir George Martin. Featuring a special foreword by Sir George Martin and original artist profiles by Grammy Museum founding executive director Robert Santelli, Soundbreaking highlights twenty-one artists from across eras and a wide spectrum of genres. In intimate interviews, these music legends share their personal insights in passages from longer interviews conducted between 2008 and 2015: Sir George Martin, Les Paul, Pete Seeger, Tony Bennett, Frankie Valli, Smokey Robinson, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, George Benson, Joni Mitchell, Michael Tilson Thomas, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty, Steven Van Zandt, Rosanne Cash, Sheila E., and Darryl McDaniels. The excerpts point to themes that emerge and echo throughout: the importance of varied cultural influences on music careers, the role of technology innovation in the creative process, and most commonly, the human connection to music. "Music is the only common thread and universal language that binds us together regardless of race, nationality, age, or income. And recorded music is how we experience it and what makes it accessible." --Sir George Martin</p>
