But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.

"If the Shoe Fits encompasses everything I love about rom-coms. I laughed, I swooned, I smiled. Another hit for Julie Murphy!" —Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Hopeless If the shoe doesn’t fit, maybe it’s time to design your own. Cindy loves shoes. A well-placed bow or a chic stacked heel is her form of self-expression. As a fashion-obsessed plus-size woman, she can never find designer clothes that work on her body, but a special pair of shoes always fits just right. With a shiny new design degree but no job in sight, Cindy moves back in with her stepmother, Erica Tremaine, the executive producer of the world’s biggest dating reality show. When a contestant on Before Midnight bows out at the last minute, Cindy is thrust into the spotlight. Showcasing her killer shoe collection on network TV seems like a great way to jump-start her career. And, while she’s at it, why not go on a few lavish dates with an eligible suitor? But being the first and only fat contestant on Before Midnight turns her into a viral sensation—and a body-positivity icon—overnight. Even harder to believe? She can actually see herself falling for this Prince Charming. To make it to the end, despite the fans, the haters, and a house full of fellow contestants she’s not sure she can trust, Cindy will have to take a leap of faith and hope her heels— and her heart—don’t break in the process. Best-selling author Julie Murphy’s reimagining of a beloved fairy tale is an enchanting story of self-love and believing in the happy ending each and every one of us deserves.

This devotional shines a spotlight on God’s love for His children and provides insights for those who want to walk closer to Him. In “Riding the Glory Wave,” the author shares she that she has always admired surfers because she can imagine the incredible exhilaration of riding a wave. “God's glory-waves are like the biggest waves ever surfed,” she writes. “They rush in like a tide, bigger than anything you can imagine and if you ride the wave of His glory, then you can rise to that pinnacle of breathlessness at the top of the wave with faith as your surfboard.” In “Critical Invasion,” she observes that the critical spirit is an evil force that has been loosed upon our world with the advent of technology. “It is now crazy easy for people to jump on failures and blow them up to immense means,” she writes. “In Matthew, Jesus instructs the people who follow Him to be different. He instructs us to look for good!” Other entries focus on sensing God, discovering beauty, how love banishes fear, grand hopes, walking in light, and much more. Get actionable guidance to bolster your relationship with the Lord and insights that will help you appreciate Oceans of God’s Love.
