The Blessed One: (March 2011) Joel Morrison proved his love for God when he lost all of his children in the 1952 Kern County earthquake. He weathered those hard times, and God blessed him with five more children. But now that his children are grown and living their own lives, Joel worries that the devourer has once again set his sights on the family that God has blessed.
For the most part, Joel’s children are successful and rich yet very unhappy. Joel realizes that giving his children more money will not make them happy, nor will it secure a place in heaven for them, when their hearts and souls are not fully committed to Christ. So, Joel Morrison decides to change his will in an attempt to teach his children a lesson in giving. He invites his children on a family vacation in the Bahamas to tell them that he will be giving most of his money away to charity. However, Joel’s declaration is not the biggest surprise of their vacation.
Shockwaves are sent throughout the Morrison family, the likes of which they may never recover from.
The Wild One: (Release date: June 2011) Dee Dee Morrison-Milner is a movie star and the wild child in the Morrison family; you name it and she’s done it, with almost no regrets. However, when she adopts an African orphan child (Natua), and a psycho begins fixating on Dee Dee’s maternal abilities and imagines himself married to the movie star diva, she finds herself running straight into her estranged husband, Drake Milner’s arms as she tries to get away from a stalker.
As she and Drake rediscover each other, Dee Dee begins feeling safe and secure, but then she comes face to face with the biggest threat of her life. And she will need love of a different kind to enable her to release her fears and move forward with God, Drake and Natua.
The Preacher’s Choice: (release date: August 2011) Isaiah Morrison is a man after God’s heart. Even though his wife divorces him, Isaiah continues to preach and declare the goodness of the Lord. He is content to live alone for the rest of his life, never imagining that God has something else in mind for him.
The first day Ramona Verse walked into Christ Tabernacle, she fell in love with everything about the church, and especially the handsome self-assured man behind the pulpit. But would a man like Pastor Morrison ever consider a woman with a dark past like hers? Ramona and Pastor Morrison are brought together through his need for someone to head his charity foundation, but Isaiah will soon discover that he needs much more from the secretive Miss Verse than he ever thought possible.
The Politician’s Wife: (release date: October 2011) Eric Morrison’s wife, Linda, hits a teenage boy while driving drunk, and Eric covers it up by paying the teenager’s medical bills and giving a hefty donation to his college fund. Linda is now ready to atone for her sins. She finds the strength to stop drinking and gives her life to Christ. Eric is thrilled when his wife stops drinking. However, when she tells him that God wants her to start a Christian organization that helps recovering alcoholics put their lives back together and that she intends to use some of his father’s charity money to do it, Eric rejects the idea, convinced that it will put his bid for governor at risk.
Then a blackmailer threatens to reveal pictures of his wife’s drunk-driving accident unless he receives ten million dollars. If that isn’t enough, the media also begins attacking Eric because of his brother Isaiah’s outspoken, stop-sinning and come-to-Jesus style of preaching. Eric must decide whether he will stand up for the truth that his father taught him and that his brother now preaches or sell his soul for public office.
