Brother Lew
$15.61In the summer of 1988, Lou Acosta (a.k.a. Brother Lew) was left for dead in a coma when the nurses couldn’t get a heartbeat or a pulse. A few hours later at Ohio State University Hospital Lou woke up to a crowded hospital ward. The Spirit of the Lord moved Lou that night to join God’s Army of Servants. Since that miraculous evening, Lou decided to leave behind that New York City lifestyle that he had grown to know. Now Lou proudly testifies about the goodness of God’s grace, peace, love, and salvation. Lou’s testimonies are reflected in his lyrics, whether he’s reflecting his fatherless childhood, gangbanger lifestyle, or the contract hits on his life. Lou gives God credit for protecting him throughout his life and keeping him for this very day. God has used Brother Lew to help birth over 50 ministries in the last 13 years, and thousands have come to the Lord through Gospel Rap music. Prison chaplains, Juvenile Detention Center counselors, teachers and youth groups buy, give away, or sell many of Brother Lew’s CDs, videos, or books, for they know that many will be reached by his message. To contact Brother Lew and learn more about his ministry and those under his management, please do so using the following information: Lampara Music Group P.O.

Blue Popsicles
$21.86Blue Popsicles chronicles the 11 years NeAnni Ife spent in the Ohio Soldiers’ & Sailors’ Orphans’ Home in Xenia, Ohio, an institution admired for its palatial buildings, high academic standards and the opportunities all that represented, yet abhorred for its disciplinary treatment of America’s most vulnerable children: orphans. Recounted from a child’s perspective, Blue Popsicles describes in raw emotion intimate parts of her life as a black child whose world turns upside down with the sudden death of her mother, which resulted in her and seven of her nine siblings moving into the orphanage. Her book takes the reader from her parents’ five-room house at 104 Paisley Street in Dayton, Ohio to the orphanage, and details the unfathomable depths to which children must venture to find peace and security amid chaos and inhumanity. Through laughter and tears, readers stated they have found ways to reach beyond retribution for injustice, abuse, suffering and pain to reconciliation and forgiveness.
