Lost Love and Second Chances. I had thought I'd lost him forever. That had been 20 years ago, but now, suddenly, Evan was back. And every bit of love I had felt for him back then, came pouring back into me. But things change after two decades. I had changed. Evan had changed. Abusive relationships tended to do that to people. I remembered the defining moment that had sealed our fate so long ago. The horrible mistake I had made. Could I change the past? Correct my mistake? Could Evan and I break through the friendship barrier and become the couple we were always meant to be? Or, were we doomed to repeat our past? One kiss was all it would take, and I planned to make sure that happened.

The world is a broken place marred by evil, and evil's influence impacts us all. It is often difficult for people to grasp what God is like in a world such as ours. Jesus shows us the heart of God in a world of heartache. He is the most beautiful, compelling, tender person who has lived. Jesus is the radiance of God's glory. He shines forth what God is like; He is a beacon of light that cuts through the darkness of evil and radiates the goodness of God. He is the exact representation of God the Father. If you want to know what God is like, look to Jesus. Don't look through the lens of evil or the lenses of either the church or religion. Look to Jesus. That is why He came. The world is not an exact representation of God. The church is not an exact representation of God. Jesus is. He came to freshly present what the Father is like to those of us who are spiritually impaired by a world of suffering. The Tenderness of Jesus, in many ways, is my most personal book to date. I invite you to listen in as I write to my four young adult children about the tenderness of Jesus Christ. Come sit with us around the dinner table. May this fresh glimpse of Jesus heal your broken heart and reignite your spiritual fervor.

A Place I Didn't Belong validates the sometimes devastating experiences of adoptive parenthood while offering hope, practical coping strategies, and spiritual renewal for the journey ahead. The trajectory of unmet expectations, our children's compromised beginnings, and the wounds we carry into our adoptions conspire to take us to a place we didn't belong. Insights on emotional healing help us reclaim hope for our adoption journey. This is not a how-to or a ten-easy-steps-to successful parenting program. It's about real life, real women, and real struggles. It's about relationships and community. It's about reclaiming ourselves as women when adoption dreams shatter. It's about a journey that begins in our mother's heart, and delivers us to the place we do belong - into our Father's arms.

Over a million Americans participate annually in short term missions, study abroad and student exchange programs but fail to experience permanent spiritual change. Multitudes proclaim, What a trip! I ll never be the same. Wrong. Research indicates that short-term missions have minimal effect on the spiritual lives of participants unless intentional debriefing occurs. Yet, in our hurry-sick society, this debriefing is rare. Now What? Spiritual Discernment For Cultural Encounters is a spiritual formation workbook that meets this need. The book uses a mixture of reflection questions and Ignatian principles to help those who have had a cultural experience reflect on the past, internalize the effect and address the future."

Remember the Roses is a go-to-guide for the millions of single women longing for true love and needing hope `til it arrives.
