Guinevere Arlington has spent seven years in Bethlehem Springs, Idaho—and now she’s running for mayor! But she’s backed by a shady lawyer who thinks he can control her—and opposed by a builder who wants support for his resort project. What will Gwen do when she falls in love with the other candidate?
Soon after enrolling in a 19th-century school for ranchers—and aspiring ranchers’ wives—Tressa’s convinced she’ll never have what it takes to brand a calf, ride a horse, or “cook up a mess of grub.” Kansas-born Abel Samms would have to agree—but there’s something about Tressa that attracts him anyway. Is she the partner he needs?
Learn how healthy multi-ethnic congregations can be successfully established and sustained. Pastor of Mosaic Church of Central Arkansas Mark DeYmaz has developed his congregation into a highly successful multiracial congregation. He shares the seven core commitments necessary for a church of diverse cultures to flourish in a healthy context. And a book I endorsed: (great book!)
Let’s face it. Most of us are clueless at praying. Why is that? And how come we’ve never done anything about it? In Confessions of a Prayer Slacker, author Diane Moody traces her own personal prayer journey with a touch of humor and a healthy dose of transparency. ”I want my readers to stop the merry-go-round of prayerlessness, quit acting like a bunch of spiritual babies, and get serious about this thing called prayer. Without it, we’ll never experience the warm, one-on-one relationship God desires to have with each one of us.” My thoughts: “I have to admit once I started reading Prayer Slacker, I couldn’t read more than a few pages at a time. Why? My heart was so pricked I had to put down the book and PRAY!” – Tricia Goyer, author of twenty-four books, including Blue Like Play Dough: The Shape of Motherhood in the Grip of God. |
