Second chances and the Christmas spirit abound in Mindy Steele’s heartwarming novel, one of faith, love, and the power of community. Grace Miller believed herself in love with the charming Englischer who eventually broke her heart. Now alone except for the secret life growing inside her, she arrives in the unfamiliar small village of Walnut Ridge, Kentucky, to hide and hopefully gain forgiveness. She is pleasantly surprised, however, to find a tight-knit, welcoming group who help her heart grow right alongside her belly. And with the holidays around the corner, there’s plenty of preparations to occupy her mind. Also occupying her mind? Her strong, protective neighbor, Cullen Graber, the town’s blacksmith, who seems intent on not allowing her to ever suffer alone. Cullen Graber gave up on love after too many losses early in life. He planned to live out his days focusing on his smithy business, yet the beautiful and mysterious Grace refuses to leave his thoughts. But can they open their hearts to God’s grace and create a new family together before Grace must return home?

Grace. We talk asthough we understand the term. The bank gives us a grace period. The seedy politician falls from grace. Musicians speak of a gracenote. We describe an actress as gracious, a dancer as graceful. We use the wordfor hospitals, baby girls, kings, and premeal prayers. We talk as though weknow what grace means. But do wereally understand it? Have we settled for wimpy grace? It politely occupies aphrase in a hymn, fits nicely on a church sign. Never causes trouble or demandsa response. When asked, "Do you believe in grace?" who could say no? Max Lucadoasks a deeper question: Have you been changed by grace? Shaped by grace?Strengthened by grace? Emboldened by grace? Softened by grace? Snatched by thenape of your neck and shaken to your senses by grace? God's gracehas a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you. Frominsecure to God secure. From regret riddled to better-because-of-it. Fromafraid to die to ready to fly. Grace isthe voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. Let's makecertain grace gets you.

If God was not in the beginning, then nothing could ever be. Take a look at the world around you. The Uncreated God is clearly seen. This simple yet profound children's book reveals God's existence through creation in a personal, gospel-centered, apologetically-based way. Paired with colorful illustrations and easy-to-read rhymes, Uncreated God is sure to engage your child's imagination, heart and mind, as it defends the truth of God's existence in a world that teaches alternative stories. Jacob Haywood, a Student Pastor pursuing his Ph.D. in Christian Apologetics, and his wife Sara utilize their passion for defending the good news of Jesus and giving hope to a hopeless world in their ministry Reason for Hope. Their first published work together, Uncreated God, is an incredible resource equipping parents to know and teach their children biblical truths about God and creation. These truths are beautifully illustrated by George Scondras, an artist and Ph.D. student in Christianity and the Arts. Uncreated God is loosely based on the Cosmological Argument for God's existence. A special parent section at the back of the book explains this argument further and shows deeper meaning behind each page of the book. Uncreated God is not only an incredible resource for kids, but parents will benefit as well as they learn to confidently answer their children's questions about the existence of God and guide them to believe the truth that God is real.
