Our Journey, Our Words
These books were born out of things we have actually lived — our journeys of faith, brokenness, marriage, restoration and learning what it means to surrender our lives to Jesus Christ.

Teach Me To War
What do you do when betrayed?
Why pursue a spouse that has wounded you?
How do you deal with who you see in the mirror?
They were Christian ministers, but behind the ministry their marriage was being confronted by things that could no longer remain hidden. Years before, the words, “Teach me to war!” came out of Sonia’s mouth as she prayed. The Lord began to show her how to fight for her husband and marriage.
Teach Me To War brings readers honestly into Derek’s battle with lust, religion and unbelief, and into a marriage where God began teaching them about repentance, prayer, forgiveness and restoration.

A WORD FROM EVANGELIST LOTT THUNDER
“I couldn’t put down Sonia’s first book, Rise Up My Beloved. Now, Derek and Sonia have written their first book together, Teach Me to War, and it’s just as powerful.”
“Teach Me to War reveals how the enemy operates, as Jesus said, ‘to steal, kill, and destroy.’ Derek and Sonia testify to Jesus’ promise: ‘But I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.’ This book offers answers and hope to many who need salvation and deliverance from any kind of addiction.”
“As a preacher for 56 years, I strongly recommend both Teach Me to War and Rise Up My Beloved, to everyone.”

Rise Up My Beloved
I was not going to give up and die, but it was time to Rise Up in Jesus!
Sonia McLeod shares the miraculous story of how God delivered her from a street life of drugs, alcohol, and prostitution. Through tragedy, heartbreak and betrayal, she takes the reader on a journey of faith and surrender.
Cast aside by friends, family, and finally by her husband, she emerges from the ashes of ruin and rejection in the arms of her true lover, Jesus Christ.
