Searching for a new pastor is common. A study by LifeWay Research shows the average pastor stays in one church for only 3.6 years. This means churches look for another pastor every three or more years. Whatever the reasons, pastors often transition.

“My Name Is Melissa” is a powerful film that explores Melissa’s life, covering many of life’s issues including finding hope and courage in the face of overwhelming odds, learning to appreciate every oasis in life, the futility of power struggles, and more. The story begins with Melissa as a simple seven year old girl who loves the little things in life. Despite the fact that her working single mother can barely provide for them, Melissa is cheerful, fun-loving, upbeat, and thinks the best of everyone and everything … except for the “Alligator”, a Stalker who follows her at a distance, wherever she goes. As the rest of Melissa’s life is recounted in very much Forrest Gump style, the audience sees Melissa every ten years; growing with her through the rough times and the good times, and learning the things that Melissa learns as she grows. Throughout Melissa’s entire life, however, the Stalker’s ominous presence oppresses her as he gets closer and closer every year. The story is unique and impactful, bringing a large range of emotions from the viewers, from sadness to joy, fear to courage, hopelessness to hope. Ultimately, no heart in the audience will escape being moved in some way by Melissa’s life and her views on life.

“My name is Anna Davis… and this is my story”. At the young age of 13, Anna Davis was enticed on social media by a trafficker using a fake profile. She was drawn into his web, kidnapped and trafficked. She lived a nightmare that she “could not wake up from” until she was rescued. She is now on the witness stand in a court of law, where she tells her story in hopes that there is enough evidence to convict her trafficker and sentence him to jail.

You can now order the book "The Forbidden Truth" at: https://store.makeitclear.org/shop/books/new-books/the-forbidden-truth A heart-pounding, non-stop, action-packed thriller, “The Forbidden Truth” is the story of a college professor and his students who unknowingly are set up to take the fall for a diabolical plot targeting our nation’s founding values and its governmental controls. The story unfolds as our characters attend a harmless first amendment rally in Washington, DC protesting the removal of “In God We Trust” from our money. The professor and some of his students decide to take a stand for God and country against a unified new world government seeking to destroy the foundations of America. It is revealed that the United States is financially crippled and is losing its influence in the world. This then forces a cloaked faction of our leaders to succumb to joining the European Economic Community through the removal of our leadership at its highest office. As the EEC gains control and begins to meddle in the affairs of the American government, our American patriots, who have refused to give up their country and their God, are labeled as a threat and through tragic events are being hunted down as extremists by the New World Order. As Americans, we never believed that our generation could be faced with so much uncertainty. The things that we have taken for granted for so long have now become the things that we long for so desperately . Reviews The Forbidden Truth is a thriller with a message. It should be turned into a movie! - Dr. Stan Ponz - President of Florida Bible College and Make It Clear Ministries “When fiction mirrors reality, it strikes an emotional chord at the core of our being. Such is the impact of The Forbidden Truth as it speaks to a rising trend in many countries of the world. Even in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, hostility toward Christianity is on the rise. Are we seeing what biblical prophecy describes in the last days? Are Christians prepared to stay the course until the day of Jesus’ return? In this incredible depiction of spiritual warfare, the story will captivate you, and the truth will challenge you to strengthen your faith for the day of battle.” Dr. Mel Blackaby - Pastor, Author, Conference Speaker “This action-packed story is an edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller. Even though it is fiction, there is an eerie correlation to the world we live in today that may prepare you for things to come. This book was for me one of those ‘I can’t put it down reads’. It is absolutely a story that must be told on the big screen. Please count me in.” Wally Crowder – Director, Stunt Coordinator “The Forbidden Truth is an end-time page-turner—action-packed from beginning to end. The storyline brings to life current events and shows how things can go downhill fast.” Tim Rupp – Author, Speaker, Founder of The Strong Blue Line Ministries “This book is powerful! Author, Jeff Trossen, does a very convincing job of revealing what our world could look like in the future. Much of this book reads like it could have come from modern-day newspaper headlines. As each chapter builds and unfolds more of the story, we see the hand of God woven throughout. This book will keep you wanting more and will make you think about the reality of many of the issues that we are facing in today’s world.” Kevin Sorbo - Actor, Director, Producer “A frighteningly relevant political thriller, The Forbidden Truth is an action-packed story about what could actually unfold in the not too distant future. The call for true believers to take a stand for our faith and liberty feels almost ripped from the headlines of today, as the plot reveals our nation’s founding values and religious freedoms are targeted and eliminated. The story unveils incredible consequences that we would never imagine could happen in our country….or could it?” Nancy Stafford — Actress, Director, Author #theForbiddenTruth
