"I do believe God can forgive him. I really do. I'm just not sure I can." Ryan's revelation shocks Rachel to the core. Are the foundations of a three-cord marriage strong enough to handle even the worst deception? Even when two are willing to give up? Rachel suspects Ryan's betrayal, but when she finds out the truth, her life is torn upside down and inside out. Ryan hides his past, fearful that when it catches up to him, it will destroy him and everything he has worked to build. When the past finally meets the present, both Ryan and Rachel are lost in a world of confusion, pain and misery. Knowing God can and will forgive every repentant heart doesn't ensure that they are capable of doing the same. Is forgiveness a feeling or an act of obedience? Will God give them the strength to do the impossible?

Forever Blessed is the story of a young mother who is on the run from an abusive husband with her three children in tow. Does Laney find safety from a controlling manipulating spouse? Does Paul track her down and make her pay for her disobedience? Where does God fit into all this?

A little boy who sees himself as a bull learns how to see himself as a boy again. Whether at home, at the playground, with friends or with family, the attributes of a bull are very different from a boy. This full color soft cover picture book is one of three offerings associated with the Children's book, You're a Boy, Not a Bull. Author Darlene Shortridge took an experience in her son's childhood and his tendency to ball up his fists at his side and snort when he was angry and turned it into a teaching experience for parents, teachers, counselors, and various other authority figures in a child's life. The corresponding coloring book is also available.
