Featured Works from My Pastors

Intentionally Random

By Jonathan “YPJ” Miller My Apostle & Pastor

The Synopsis: Life isn’t always linear, and Pastor Jonathan Miller, known to many as “YPJ” embraces that truth in this unique collection of insights. Intentionally Random is a “book of wisdom through random thoughts,” designed for those who want to break away from the status quo and the rigid expectations of daily living. It captures Godly inspirations in bite-sized, “paramount” reflections, helping readers navigate their faith with fresh, spontaneous clarity.

 “As my Apostle, Pastor Miller has a unique gift for hearing from God in the ‘random’ moments of life. This book is a direct reflection of the wisdom he leads our house with every single week.”

“I have the privilege of serving under Pastor Karrah at Faith Alive, and her strength and grace are unmatched. She writes with the same fire and conviction that she brings to our ministry.”

Rooted & Written: A Family Feature

Here Comes the Record Man

By Warren Craft My Family

The Synopsis: In a world that has moved toward digital echoes and fleeting playlists, Here Comes the Record Man is a soulful journey back to the roots of rhythm and the stories behind the vinyl. Part memoir and part cultural history, Warren Craft captures the magic of a time when music was something you could hold in your hands and feel in your spirit. It’s a tribute to the collectors, the dreamers, and the “record men” who knew that every scratch on a disc told a story worth saving. “This book is more than just a title to me, it’s a piece of my heritage. Warren has always had a gift for preserving the things that matter, and seeing his passion for music and history captured in these pages is a true joy for our family.”
