Ever wondered what God is up to in your story? Me too. I write my stories to give you hope that there is more. There is a greater story. There is someone who sees us and knows our name. And believe it or not, he who knows us best, loves us most, and is inviting us into his dance. As you read parts of my journey, I hope you see God’s threads of grace and redemption in your own. And who knows, maybe you will find yourself on the dance floor as well.

A collection of twenty-one essays from well-known writers who reflect on the relationship between faith and writing.

Emphasizing a persons relationship with God, Whispers in the Wind, Shouts in the Storm offers a collection of poems that communicates a message of hope and inspiration that God is always present for his children. Author Beth Fore offers whispers in the wind poems as prayers of praise, thanksgiving, reflection, and appreciation of God in nature and in relationships, and she explores themes of Jesus and the Holy Spirit and mans relationship to them. She also shares shouts in the storm poems as a result of the difficulties and challenges in life. Many of the selections are paired with relevant scripture to encourage further Bible study. In Whispers in the Wind, Shouts in the Storm Fore conveys the message that Christians have a God who is creative, powerful, and faithful. He desires a relationship with his children, and we have the privilege and honor to worship him, honor him, and pray to him at any time and under any circumstance.

An unforgettably powerful coming-of-age story about a 16-year-old LA transplant whose plans to build a doomsday shelter in her backyard collide with an unexpected summer romance. Survival Tip #1: The world is going to shit. Whatever you do, don’t fall in love. Sixteen-year old Niarah Holloway’s only goal in life is to get through it unnoticed. That, and to spend her first summer in LA building a doomsday bunker in her backyard. Because if the past few years have taught Niarah anything, it’s that the ocean levels are rising, minimum wage is a scam, and the people who are supposed to protect you will hurt you. Now the only thing that helps Niarah stay afloat amidst the constant waves of anxiety and dread that threaten to drag her under is her new mantra: Be prepared. But Niarah wasn’t prepared for Mac Torres. Not for his disarmingly cute face, or for his surfer lifestyle, or for the way his smile resuscitates her heart. Mac is a bomb that blows Niarah’s world to pieces, but instead of disaster, he fills it with sunset bonfires, breakfast burritos, and new friends. For years, Niarah’s life has revolved around ignoring the demons of her past, avoiding the problems of her present, and preparing for the catastrophes of the future. Now Mac—with his sunshine laugh and infectious optimism— is determined to show her another way to be. But in a world where the worst feels inevitable, can one summer be enough to light the way to a hopeful future? Can one summer be enough to fall in love?
