A Compilation of Thoughts
No child ever imagines themselves being put in a grown man’s place with only the grimy walls of a prison cell to love them for the next forty years. But for one young teen, the nightmare of the cell became his bitter reality.
In A Compilation of Thoughts, author Kurtis Graves details his harrowing journey from carefree 16-year-old boy to indefinite imprisonment as a convicted adult. Suddenly abandoned in the unforgiving, unrelenting and unloving confinement of a world he was never intended to be a part of, Kurtis intricately breaks down the simple conversations he had with his conscience to understand and overcome his burdens, while helping others facing bleak circumstances find their way out, too.
A Compilation of Thoughts is a true portrait of faith, encouraging readers that although staying true to ourselves is difficult, it’s not impossible. We don’t have to conform to what pushes us to lose; we must be motivated to win!

After I Do, Before Happily Ever After, & Everything In Between
Many wonder what REALLY happens after “I do” …but before “happily ever after…” Well, the simple answer is…A LOT! With divorce rates at an all-time high and in a new generation of marriage, convenience seems to be superseding the covenant of marriage and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the epidemic of divorce. Noble and Kim have realized there needs to be a revolution of saving marriages and have declared war on divorce. The only way to truly be a soldier and win in this war, is the candid transparency these authors bring to this work and the sharing of their own trials, tribulations and triumphs. Noble and Kim have chosen to open the book to their life and “air their dirty laundry” with hopes that their tests prove to be a testimony to someone else’s marriage. Marriage is often depicted as “hard work,” but when you plug in to the power of God, it does not have to be.
Throughout this book, Noble & Kim will share with readers real life tests they have gone through along with the biblical truths and faith principles they have stood on to face these challenges. They will also guide the reader through reflection and introspection exercises and prayer. The authors share what they have learned through working God’s promises for marriage, relationships and family to continue the path to Happily Ever After. This book does not promise to solve all marital problems plaguing couples but does promise to shed light on and share how you can make a conscious choice daily to choose one another through all of life’s obstacles.

An Unexpected Love For Christmas
In “An Unexpected Love for Christmas,” (sequel to the best-selling novelette, “A Leap of Faith”) Allison is beautiful, spoiled, judgmental, and doesn’t mind making it known that the only way to live, is by her own terms. Although she desires a relationship, any man wanting a second glance from Allison better look even better on paper than he does in person – which automatically eliminates handsome, hard-working Ronald McMurray from her potential list of suitors.
Ronald McMurray’s janitorial business receives a huge contract over the Christmas holidays, which happens to be where Allison’s financial firm is located. More interested in raising his ten-year-old daughter Rolanda, working and upholding his Christian values than casual dating, southern gentleman Ronald isn’t impressed with Allison’s beauty and material success which suits her just fine since he falls short of her strict standards. A long-term relationship with Ronald is out of the question for Allison, until an unexpected encounter changes her life forever. Will Allison allow God to direct her path, or will she get in her own way before true love finds her?
