In Both Ways Edward Goble looks into the heart and life of a local minister battling temptation, success and fidelity. A pastor himself for many years, Goble brings to life a story that is full of humor, heartache, madness and grace. With the seemingly epidemic fall of popular ministers to infidelity, this is a topic that is timely and important to the church.Almond Grove, California is home to the growing Community Chapel Church and their charismatic young pastor, Madison Enright. Madison and his newlywed bride, Jill, moved to the struggling church right out of college and, after sixteen years of dedication, had forged it into one of the most exciting, fastest growing churches in the Bay Area. From all appearances, Madison had it all, but successfull ministry has a way of introducing temptations into life that can undo even the greatest among us. An old friend, Dave Bean, himself trying to discover the meaning of life and his purpose in the world, comes alongside Madison at his point of greatest need. But will Madison be able to confide in his best friend, or will he try to manage his own demons without the support of those closest to him. In Both Ways Edward Goble looks into the heart and life of a local minister, a position he held for many years, and brings to life a story that is full of humor, heartache, madness and grace. It is, on one hand, a sad story of sin and brokenness, while on the other, an encouraging message of hope and faith.

My name is McKenzie Perry. I’ve lived a life filled with secrets. Secrets that took me years to understand. Secrets that my bestie Gia and I kept from the world. Secrets that only I knew. I wasn’t afraid of the lies, the secrets, or the hidden skeletons. That’s not what frightened me. I was afraid that one day they would come out, somebody would find out the truth. If I am the only one that knew the secrets, the lies, then they were safe, right? How does a well-rounded, talented little girl create a false sense life? It took several years for me to understand the impact of lies. Lies I told, secrets I kept, and the lives they controlled. One of the things I know to be true is, I did the things I did for a reason, even if I didn’t know it at the time. They all had a reason.

This is the second in the 3niti Multimedia Academy (3MA) Children Projects Publications, this one being a compendium of stories by the 2014 Summer Multimedia Training (SMT) students. In August 2014, 3MA organized a 3-weekend, 5 hours a day training for Children between ages 4 and 19. The children were trained on Basic Digital Multimedia. Within a cumulative period of 15 hours, they learnt how to use the Microsoft Windows 7 & 8, Ms Paint application, Sound Recorder, Notepad, Wordpad, Muvee Auto Producer, Microsoft Powerpoint, and Microsoft Word. It is so amazing to see children learn at such a quick pace and come up with their own stories and drawings within such a short period. This concept is borne out of a passion to empower children and teenagers by 3MA Chief Executive, Moses Olanrewaju Bolarin.
