The Day After His Crucifixion by Merikay McLeod

About The Day After His Crucifixion by Merikay McLeod

“This is a page-turner with a timeless, illuminating message.” – Barnes & Noble reader.

The Day After His Crucifixion gives a fresh perspective to the story of Yeshua the Nazarene through the voices of women he helped and healed and drew into his circle. Their eyewitness reports bring familiar gospel events to life.

Following his brutal execution, Yeshua’s women followers gather to share food, recall important moments, and comfort one another amid their shared shock and grief. In their gathering, faith feels human rather than abstract. These women are not symbols, they are witnesses shaped by healing, liberation, and presence.

The miracles we think we know (from Sunday School classes) are re experienced as personal turning points. The Messiah the women remember is playful, courageous, encouraging, and profoundly relational.

The Day After His Crucifixion restores authority to voices long sidelined. By allowing women to interpret Yeshua’s ministry through their own experience, the book reveals a Gospel rooted in compassion, dignity and freedom. The women’s testimonies illuminate the kingdom of God not as an abstract promise, but as something already tasted through healing, welcome, and love abundant.

I never meant to fall for the brooding, ex-Navy SEAL the town called a murderer.

The day I ran—my baby in my arms, nearly empty diaper bag, and fear twisting my guts—I didn’t expect a savior.

Enter Bryden Carter. Reluctant billionaire heir. The town’s dark legend. The only empty seat on that 24-hour bus to Florida was next to him.

One night. One bed. One consequence I can’t undo.

While Bryden is obsessed with clearing his name, the murder allegations against him could cost me everything. When my ex’s family wages a custody war, the battle turns deadly.

Is the man protecting me still mourning his dead wife?”

I’m running from one baby daddy who wants to destroy me—while hiding the truth from the man I love: I’m carrying his child.

Purpose is Bullsh*t

About Purpose is Bullsh*t

Purpose is Bullsht: The Myth of Purpose and the Freedom to Live Now* is a raw, refreshing wake-up call for anyone who is tired of chasing the ever-elusive idea of “finding your purpose.” While the title is intentionally bold, the message itself is thoughtful, grounded, and far deeper than shock value. It speaks to the quiet exhaustion many people feel after being told that happiness, fulfillment, and worth are always just one more goal away.
We hear it everywhere, on stages, in podcasts, and across social media, that purpose is the key to success and meaning. But what if that belief is not only misleading, but actually keeping people stuck in a cycle of waiting and self-doubt?
In this no-fluff, straight-to-the-point read, I challenge the toxic narrative that says you are incomplete unless you have identified a singular “why.” Instead of endless searching, readers are invited to reconnect with the present moment and recognize that meaning does not require a grand mission or perfectly defined life path.
Written for doers, dreamers, burned-out achievers, and especially for those who do not usually pick up books in this genre, the book is intentionally short, accessible, and designed for busy people who want something honest, reflective, and immediately applicable. Through personal insights and practical reflections, Purpose is Bullsht* reminds readers that fulfillment is not something to earn later. Joy, peace, and contentment are available now, without the pressure to be extraordinary.

About How Do I Love Thee: Food For Thought Before You Say “I DO”

Are We Ready For Marriage ? How Compatible are We? Ready for Intimacy? Commitment? The Marriage Bed? What About The In-laws/Out-laws?

“Are you on the brink of saying ‘I Do’? Have you considered the solemnity of these words and the commitment they imply? DeBorrah K. Ogans’s book “How Do I Love Thee: Food For Thought Before You Say I Do” invokes you to dig deeper into these questions before tying the knot.

A judicious mix of spiritual wisdom, psychological insight, and practical guidance, this book walks you through the significant aspects of defining and nurturing a healthy, meaningful relationship ready for marriage. Ogans, a seasoned marital counselor, presents a candid mirror to every reader, helping them challenge their assumptions, question their readiness, and demystify their understanding of love and commitment.

The book is structured into bite-sized chapters, each dealing with a critical aspect of marriage – forgiveness, trust, flexibility, communication, and many more. It doesn’t simply tell you WHAT to think about, but it aids you in HOW to think effectively about steadfast pledge and conjugal unity. At times, it serves as an instructor imparting valuable lessons, at others, as a friend sharing anecdotes and experiences, and sometimes as a counselor offering solutions to potential challenges.

DeBorrah K. Ogans’s writing is straightforward, compassionate, and insightful. She skillfully shows how successful marriages aren’t built merely on ephemeral emotions, but on the foundational blocks of patience, understanding, and sacrificial love. Through her work, she reminds readers that marriage is not just about finding the right person, but also about being the right person.

Many couples spend a great deal of time planning their wedding, but little time planning their marriage. They have not taken the time to have candid open discussion as to what happens after the wedding. Planning your wedding is important, but so is planning your marriage. All too often it is the idea of all the exciting Showers, Parties, Celebrations and activities that many have come to enjoy, rather than the marriage itself.

How Do I Love Thee:Food For Thought Before You Say “I DO” is a mini-premarital guide to be used by couples, counselors, and clergy. It addresses many of the major subjects couples should discuss prior to marriage. Included are interactive lessons and assignments for the couple which are designed to motivate serious thought about love, compatibility, commitment, finances, accountability, responsibility, dealing with the in-laws, the marriage bed, and more.
