Scenario Queen is a book filled with circumstances, encounters, and choices that June had to make. These stories may be similar to encounters on your life's journey as well. As you read this book, whether you're a believer in Jesus Christ or not, the author's hope is that you find encouragement that light shines on a past memory or a current circumstance in ways you've not thought of before. Just know you are not alone! Through this book, hopefully, you see that nothing is a coincidence and that things are going on behind the scenes you can't imagine. That you might see there are some things that happen which you can't control, but an all knowing God is watching over you. That He knows the beginning and the end of all things. That God has a way of working things out for the good and sometimes lessens the consequences or blows in some situations. That He's your provider, protector, redeemer, and deliverer. The author hopes you can see how a loving God was there all the time even when you didn't know it or see it. She prays that you develop a deeper relationship or start a relationship with God as a result. She hopes for clarity and new direction in your life. That your eyes are open, and you see how God is the potter and we are merely His clay on the potter's wheel. (Jer. 18:3-4) As each of you journey through this life, she hopes you discover, with God's guidance, your destiny or purpose. God is the key, and He's offering it to you. He's knocking at your heart's door with open arms. Knock . . . knock . . . Do you hear Him? Knock . . . knock . . . knock . . . Will you let Him in? Knock . . . knock . . . knock . . . knock . . . knock . . . Do you hear Him? Will you let Him in? The choice is yours. (Rev. 3:20)

Marriage today isn't what it used to be: for better, not for worse. As same-sex weddings are becoming more common, the classic love-story happy ending is taking on a decidedly new twist, everyone has a fresh role to play, and supporters and opponents of gay marriage alike are finding themselves in the midst of a revolution that's redefining marriage—both as a personal choice and as an institution—as we know it. In Here Come the Brides!, editors Audrey Bilger and Michele Kort gather together the voices of women taking part in-and shaping-this major historical shift. Representing a diversity of points of view in terms of race, class, ethnicity, and gender identification, this collection of essays, stories, and visual images takes a multidimensional look at how opening up the traditional order of "man and wife" to include the possibility of "wife and wife" is altering our social landscape. From wedding pictures and images of protest signs to comical anecdotes and sober philosophical analyses, Here Come the Brides! is an exploration of how the legalization of same-sex marriages has irrevocably changed the way lesbians think about their unions and their lives-and a celebration of the dream of lesbian happily-ever-afters.
