The Exiles
Summary
An instant New York Times best seller Optioned for television by Bruna Papandrea, the producer of HBO's Big Little Lies "A tour de force of original thought, imagination and promise.... Kline takes full advantage of fiction - its freedom to create compelling characters who fully illuminate monumental events to make history accessible and forever etched in our minds." (Houston Chronicle) The author of the number one New York Times best seller Orphan Train returns with an ambitious, emotionally resonant novel about three women whose lives are bound together in 19th-century Australia and the hardships they weather together as they fight for redemption and freedom in a new society. Seduced by her employer’s son, Evangeline, a naïve young governess in early 19th-century London, is discharged when her pregnancy is discovered and sent to the notorious Newgate Prison. After months in the fetid, overcrowded jail, she learns she is sentenced to "the land beyond the seas", Van Diemen’s Land, a penal colony in Australia. Though uncertain of what awaits, Evangeline knows one thing: The child she carries will be born on the months-long voyage to this distant land. During the journey on a repurposed slave ship, the Medea, Evangeline strikes up a friendship with Hazel, a girl little older than her former pupils who was sentenced to seven years transport for stealing a silver spoon. Canny where Evangeline is guileless, Hazel - a skilled midwife and herbalist - is soon offering home remedies to both prisoners and sailors in return for a variety of favors. Though Australia has been home to Aboriginal people for more than 50,000 years, the British government in the 1840s considers its fledgling colony uninhabited and unsettled and views the natives as an unpleasant nuisance. By the time the Medea arrives, many of them have been forcibly relocated, their land seized by White colonists. One of these relocated people is Mathinna, the orphaned daughter of the chief of the Lowreenne tribe, who has been adopted by the new governor of Van Diemen’s Land. In this gorgeous novel, Christina Baker Kline brilliantly recreates the beginnings of a new society in a beautiful and challenging land, telling the story of Australia from a fresh perspective, through the experiences of Evangeline, Hazel, and Mathinna. While life in Australia is punishing and often brutally unfair, it is also, for some, an opportunity: for redemption, for a new way of life, for unimagined freedom. Told in exquisite detail and incisive prose, The Exiles is a story of grace born from hardship, the unbreakable bonds of female friendships, and the unfettering of legacy.

Great Cloud of Witnesses Speak
Summary
Speaking to saints from Heaven might be rare, but in these times, more and more people are starting to experience it. In biblical times, Jesus had a conversation with Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration that was recorded in Matthew 17:1-9. Then, in Matthew 27:50- 53, as Jesus died and the temple veil was torn, scripture records in verse 52: "...and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised and verse 53: "...and coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many...." We are living in times where known prophets are speaking of encounters they have had with departed saints. For many years, Matthew has been having visitations and, in recent times, Jesus commissioned him to interview 19 saints that the Holy Spirit brought to Earth. These saints, part of the Great Cloud of Witnesses mentioned in Hebrews 12:1, answered a standard 10 questions each, questions such as: "How do you feel today, being here to speak to the world?" "What do you think is special to God?" "What do you like about Heaven?" "What keys do you consider important for the Christian life?" "What advice would you give to people who are struggling?" "What message do you have for this generation?" Through these interviews and the answers that are given, come and journey and get to know these biblical characters in a new and fresh way. Let them speak to you of the God they love and the Jesus they worship set within the context of the life they lived on Earth and the one they now live in Heaven. The saints interviewed in order of appearance are David, Bathsheba, Leah, Rachel, Martha, Mary of Bethany, Paul, Peter, Mary Magdalene, John, Rahab, Eve, Joshua, Moses, Enoch, Elijah, Mary mother of Jesus, Joseph - father of Jesus, and Job.

Summary
For decades, many prophetic words have been released, promising revival to the world.

Influencing Your World for Christ
Summary
The mention of the word "evangelism" can produce any number of responses from people. Many Christians know that they should be sharing Jesus with their friends and family members but fear of rejection stops them. Other factors also keep them from sharing. One of the most common reasons that people don't win their friends to Christ, is not so much fear, as the fact that they don't know how to evangelize people. However, you can influence your world for Christ without overwhelming your friends, without embarrassing yourself or without even being rejected. One day, I sat down and decided to record this book on video so that people could see how I live my life and how I influence those that come in contact with me. This process is not scary, and you won't be rejected if you live out the keys in this book. Instead, the contents will actually free you up to be who you are with everyone that you know. Gone will be the masks that you wear for some people as they get to know the authentic Christian that you are. I am no theologian and have never had formal training at a school, yet I have shared my personal faith in Jesus with thousands of people as well as shared personal messages from Jesus with many people through prophetic evangelism. If you want to learn how to influence your world with the message of the Gospel with confidence, take a look inside. Your world and the lives of those around you will be impacted for God's glory and the kingdom!
