Because I Knew You Were Mine is a powerful narrative that explores the depths of childhood neglect and reveals the path toward healing. Who is my mother? Who is my father? Where do I belong? Abandoned by her mother when her father left for World War II, young Patricia Stroberg had no answers. When her father returned, it seemed she might have a family after all. Yet her hopes were shattered by a mother mired in mental illness and a family shrouded in secrecy. This memoir unpacks one woman's journey from trauma to healing. Pat chose to focus on the power of forgiveness to build a life of purpose: founding a multimillion-dollar business, raising a family, and serving her community. Distinct yet universal, Because I Knew You Were Mine inspires all those seeking hope that the scars of our past need not dictate our future trajectory.

It's no secret that we live in chaotic times-in our personal lives and the world around us. However, we don't need to "wait for things to calm down" to reclaim our peace, calling, and connection with God. As Christians, we were made to be "salt and light" in a world that desperately needs it. But in order to be that, we need to be able to withstand the forces of chaos ourselves. Rhythms of Resilience presents four major rhythms, based on the life of Jesus, to help us establish spiritual resilience in turbulent times. The rhythms are: leaving, being still, confronting our inner world, and returning to our context. Leaving our context gives us perspective, stillness gives us clarity, confronting gives us healing, and returning gives us impact. Within each rhythm are three to five practices to help readers engrain that rhythm into their daily lives. These "chaos-proof" practices are tailored for busy people juggling work, family, friends, ministry, and more. They are simple, practical, and easily adaptable to different schedules and lifestyles. These rhythms restore the soul and allow us to produce work that is not mindless but meaningful for ourselves, our spheres, and the kingdom to come.
