Remember God is a book from veteran author Annie F. Downs reminding readers, especially in times when it is difficult to believe, that God is kind.

God tells us to love our enemies. But what about loving and honoring a husband who chooses to walk away from his family, setting up residence in a prison of addiction? Seldom is there a faith with the tenacity that the author displayed during her twenty-two years of praying, enduring tremendous trials and sorrow. “I will honor my vow, no matter what,” were words spoken by this young bride, believing in the promise of new life and vows spoken. The “no matter what” took this family on such a seemingly discouraging journey that even Christian family and friends believed restoration was impossible. Joy learned to place her complete hope in Christ alone, believing that God’s mercy and grace is sufficient to reach even the darkest and most hardened heart – including her own. A beautiful, transparent portrait of redemption as marriage is viewed as a living, breathing example of Christ and His bride. Readers will be encouraged and equipped to persevere through deep marital waters.

After a lifetime of turmoil, shame, disappointments, depression, bad decisions, rejection, barrenness and now an empty soul, the Woman at the Well is ready to receive the living water Jesus offers...but first she must own her imperfections and shortcomings. ***** Finally, she musters enough courage and says, "Sir, give me this water that I may not thirst nor come here to draw water." Aida cannot comprehend the meaning of the stranger's words because she's not thinking spiritually. Her mindset is of the flesh, hoping to avoid her daily journey of traveling such a long distance for water in the day's heat. Then Aida begins to feel the self-imposed barriers releasing her heart, and her spirit feels calm, serene, and peaceful. Just on the verge of her soul becoming completely free, the stranger gives a jaw-dropping, gut-wrenching, horrifying command. He tells her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." Baffled, perplexed, bewildered, and ashamed all at the same time, Aida feels the chains tighten their grip around her heart with increased intensity, reclaiming control. Aida gasps, ruminating over his words, "Husband? Did he say go call my husband?" ***** In Quench the Thirst, LaJuana R. Sherman invites us to contemplate the life of this remarkable woman, weaving a tapestry of imagination and faith that offers a fresh perspective on her encounters with the divine. The story of the Woman at the Well, as recounted in the Gospel of John, is a powerful testament to the transformative power of grace and compassion. LaJuana's unique approach of storytelling, which she aptly dubs "Inspired Creative Christian Fiction," takes us beyond the mere verses of scripture and into the vivid world she has crafted with care and reverence.

Challenging conventional wisdom on grief, a pioneering therapist offers a new resource for those experiencing loss When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, here is the first thing to know: there is nothing wrong with grief. “Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form,” says Megan Devine. “It is a natural and sane response to loss.” So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible? In It’s OK That You’re Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we try to help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides—as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner—Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, “happy” life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. In this compelling and heartful book, you’ll learn: • Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief • How challenging the myths of grief—doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold—allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve • Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to “fix” your pain • How to help the people you love—with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to “solve” grief. Megan writes, “Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution.” Through stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face—in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world. It’s OK That You’re Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves—and each other—better.
