Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver: Applied Christianity 201 is the second of a three-part series of the Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver series. It contains the second set of compilation of Isekhua Evborokhai’s favourite scriptures and quotes on different topics that would pass as words aptly spoken. The entire series was inspired by Proverbs 25:11 “A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” [NIV] Each chapter concludes with a section called “Apple Seeds”; these “apple seeds” are nuggets intended by the author to emphasize key points of the chapter and then invites the reader to identify their own “Apple seeds” so the reading of the book is not just a ritual but an experience. So I recommend that you “read with a pencil!”

Trapped no more is about rigorously pursuing freedom against all odds. In this book, the author shares her true life story of the horrific sexual abuse she suffered in Ireland, between the ages of eleven and seventeen, and how she survived.
Your heart will be stirred as you read in Camilla’s own words the dramatic accounts of the damage and the trauma rape can have, not just on the physical body but to the entirety of a person’s life. Camilla has also, in this book, shared the experiences of other survivors; victims who shared the pain, the ugliness and the aftermath of their various encounters.
