A Love Restored


Book Description

With pert opinions and a less-than-perfect figure, Ruth Ann Sutton doesn't measure up to Society's vision of a perfect lady. When she accepts a position teaching in a Freedman's School, it threatens the only marriage offer Ruth Ann is likely to receive. She's forced to choose between life as a lonely spinster or reinventing herself to secure a respectable proposal. Determined to rise above his meager beginnings, Benjamin Coulter's reputation as a fast learner and hard worker earns him the opportunity to apprentice with a surveyor for the railroad—a position that will garner the respect he craves. After a chance encounter with Ruth Ann Sutton, Benjamin is smitten with her pretty face, quick wit, and feisty personality. When others ridicule his choice, will Benjamin listen to his heart or put ambition first?




Love Restored


Book Description

The rules were simple. Finish rebuilding the project house and keep his hands off the woman who owns it. Graham Gallagher knows tragedy and heartbreak but he's spent these past years burying the pain deep down where it belongs. He has a life he's learning to love. A job where he can make good change. And brothers that keep him sane. What he doesn't need is a hot-tempered client who gets on his last nerve. Too bad the two of them can't keep their hands off each other. Blake Brennen is a single mom who doesn't have time for growly, bearded men. Only circumstances keep them together far more than either one of them wants. One night of temptation leads to another and they both know they need to walk away. But when the worst happens and their worlds collide, they won't have a choice but to lean on each other. Or risk losing it all anyway. ~~~~~~~~ Read what others are saying about New York Times bestselling author, Carrie Ann Ryan: “Count on Carrie Ann Ryan for emotional, sexy, character driven stories that capture your heart!” – Carly Phillips, NY Times bestselling author “Carrie Ann Ryan’s romances are my newest addiction!

All Things New


Book Description

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God’s promise for a new heaven and a new earth. This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home--the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things," by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new." More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you--not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth--you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19). Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.




I Am Restored


Book Description

When the challenges you've faced threaten to destroy your life, how do you find your way back to the truths you thought you believed? I Am Restored tells the untold story of how Lecrae's past nearly ruined his future--until he learned that the wounds we carry can have the potential to be unlikely guides to healing and freedom for ourselves and others. Throughout I Am Restored, Lecrae documents the shattering yet hopeful story of how he faced the scars of his past--sexual abuse, physical trauma, addiction, and depression--and emerged more fully human than ever before. With remarkable transparency and vulnerability, Lecrae reveals that at the height of his professional success, his life was spinning out of control, driven by a past that he had never confronted and a religious perspective that was incapable of meeting the challenge. I Am Restored takes an unflinching look at the personal and public spaces that are too often at the societal core of our pain and heartache--culture, politics, family, church, and more--and teaches us that forgiveness can be the birthplace of the life that God has created for us. Throughout this powerful, deeply personal account, Lecrae shares the life lessons he's learned about: Confronting the pain and trauma that has shaped your story Breaking the cycle of sin and shame and embracing joy and authenticity Finding hope and healing in the midst of chaos The simple practices that can change your mental, emotional, and spiritual health Leading a life that's bursting with creativity and true freedom I Am Restored is a hopeful, inspiring charge to start your journey to lasting healing today. No matter what your past has held, God is near you, he hears you, and he's not done writing your story.

The Politics of Mirth


Book Description

"Leah Marcus's The Politics of Mirth: Jonson, Herrick, Milton, Marvell, and the Defense of Old Holiday Pastimes is a fascinating study of why James and Charles promoted some types of rural sport and festival and of how certain literary texts participated in promoting or critiquing royal policy. . . . Marcus provocatively links texts not often studied in conjunction with one another, and she provides strong and detailed readings of those texts."—Jean E. Howard




BROKEN TO REDEEMED MANHOOD RESTORED


Book Description

Broken to Redeemed Manhood, Restored is meant for anyone who's asked questions like, how do I deal with my emotions or relationships in healthy ways? Okay, I know I'm not in the best place because of fear, pain, or shame, but how do I move forward? Why does my past keep holding me back? What's the benefit of counseling or support groups? Are they enough? I'm ready to give up on church (or a relationship with Mom or Dad or a friend); what can I do? Nothing is held back in poetry as I wrestle with God, with my feelings and thoughts, and with my desires to heal and become whole. It includes insights from other authors, too, in living as a single adult, along with the difference between facade and persona. It should be encouraging for anyone who is healing or knows someone who is healing from life's setbacks.




Created for Love


Book Description

While I realize that there are countless books about love and relationships, and the aspects of what relationship love looks like, I am addressing love from a different angle – an angle that is not often seen. There is a diabolical force that blocks the ability to feel and express love. This force is truly the “dark side” since it is underlying our every attempt to give and obtain the most important and powerful force in the universe. It all starts with understanding the intricacies of love and the forces that would hinder and even attempt to destroy love. Most of us have asked ourselves during portions of our life, why we may do what we do, and why the world around us is so hostile, resistant, and self-centered. Love can overcome anything, as long as we know the origin of love and the Giver of love. “There are times when a relationship needs a breakthrough and nothing seems to work. In this carefully crafted book Dr. Shaw gives solid Biblical answers to guide to that BREAKTHROUGH. Walk through these pages and allow new possibilities of HOPE for you and your relationships. This is an excellent guide that will bring new insights and New HOPE.” —Gregory L. Jantz, PhD, C.E.D.S. Founder, The Center • A Place of HOPE www.aplaceofhope.com “What you hold in your hand is one of the most profound and powerful books about love you will find anywhere. Dr. Shaw masterfully teaches amazing precepts and awesome principles about the manifold mysteries and timeless truths of the most dynamic force in the universe: love. Biblically solid and clinically sound, this book will change your life and transform your relationships. Drink deeply, eat heartily, and bask refreshingly from the wise counsel of this insightful series that Bob Shaw has blessed us with!” —Rev. Jared Pingleton, Psy.D. Minister and Clinical Psychologist, Author or Coauthor of nine books
