  All Christians Are Monks - The...

  The contemporary Church has much to learn from monastic communities—things it has lost and needs to rediscover, including community, mutual submission, the benefits to be gained from a repertoire of physical and other practices, the fundamental importance of a sense of the Church and the living Christian tradition, and of the Eucharist and daily prayer. Much else is revealed, as George Guiver leads his readers through a detailed repertoire of monastic life, and they will be surprised to discover how much of it belongs to all Christians.
  
   
  All Christians are Monks looks at difficulties of believing and praying in the highly secular context of today, with an urge to be real, rather than fudging things. All of this can and does lead to a greater confidence in the Christian enterprise, and to our greater flourishing as persons. Examples from contemporary church life illustrate ways in which we can allow the gospel to be distorted by secular values, while at the same time we fail to make sufficient use of the gifts of our modern secular society.

  Award-Winning Finalist in the Christian Inspirational category of the 2022 American Fiction Awards 
  “... an uplifting story of realistic struggle, a desperate drive for connection, and ultimately Christian redemption. ... Martin’s strength in this story comes from a refusal to shy away from life’s difficulties as Lizzie faces tough choices and desires. ... Readers eager for stories about connection and faith will find this engaging. Great for fans of Josie Riviera, Francine Rivers" — BookLife Reviews 
  “... a moving novel, crackling with sexual volatility and emotional intelligence. An engrossing emotional drama, both shocking and thoughtful ... a provocative subplot handled without a hint of prurient sensationalism." — Kirkus Reviews 
  Denise-Marie Martin’s debut novel exposes the greatest longings of the human heart: to belong and be loved. Tangled Violets is the riveting story of an adoptee’s search to find out who she is. Advanced degrees, professional success, and a string of failed marriages have done nothing to fill the void that has defined Lizzie Schmidt’s life. Armed with mostly false information, she embarks on an improbable journey of self-discovery, searching for her biological family before the days of the internet or consumer genetic testing made such reunions commonplace. 
  Tangled Violets is the shocking story of how far one woman is willing to go in search of love and acceptance—a journey that leads to joy, pain, lies, and absolute heartbreak. A tale of redemption and the healing power of forgiveness, this novel demonstrates that no matter what we have done or where we have been, no one is outside the mercy of God and the healing balm of his unconditional love. 
  Warning: This novel deals with the devastation of incest and recovery—a topic rarely discussed in Christian fiction.

  I have a question for you, and I hope you’ll be honest with yourself about the answer: Are there areas of your life you would enjoy more if you worried less? If so, I want you to make the same decision I made years ago. Decide to do something about it. Many of us have heard the tips that are meant to help us stop worrying, but we’re still living a life plagued with worry. Some of us have believed the lie of worry to such an extent that we actually think it’s a good thing. We think that, if we don’t worry about our kids, we’re not loving them. If we don’t worry enough about money, we’re not being good providers. Or if we aren’t worried about our job or the future, we feel lazy or apathetic. The truth is God did not create you to be a worrier. There is a place of balance He intends for you to live where you still care about life without constantly worrying about it. When I look back at where I was 5 years ago, I see a completely different person. God has taken a nervous wreck like me and given me a heart of peace. This book isn’t just me talking the talk. In it, I share principles from God’s word that help us win against worry, but I also share my personal journey of practically walking those principles out. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety. You can walk down a different path. So, what are you waiting for? Come with me as we journey down a better path. Stop worrying, and start living in the peace and favor of God every day.
