Shifters and witches don't mix. At least that's what Talia Lear was raised to believe. It’s not just that her family’s coven disapproves, but she’s bound by an ancient blood curse that forbids her from so much as looking at a shifter. But look at one she does. When Talia meets sexy, Alpha bear Rafe, he stirs a powerful magic inside of her and a passion she can't deny. Clan chief, Rafe McCormack needs answers. Fast. When the bears of Wild Ridge start suffering from a deadly illness, Rafe suspects witchcraft. Time is running out and he’s got none to spare messing with Talia. But, this beautiful young witch has long legs and a smart mouth Rafe just wants to kiss. With his clan’s survival on the line, it’ll take every ounce of self-control and cunning Rafe has to come out on top. Acting on their desires could spell disaster for both Rafe and Talia. But sometimes fate has other plans. Reader’s Note: Each book in the Wild Ridge Bears series is a full length, standalone, cliffhanger free, super sexy, bear shifter romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. You can read them in any order but the scorching hot events within each are interconnected and happen chronologically. These bears are hot, dominant, and fiercely protective of their mates. Their women are just as strong and like to misbehave. Come along and enjoy the ride!

Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.
