Amanda Cabot

Casa editrice: Revell

Sinossi

Doctor-in-training Louisa Vaughn has no intention of remaining in Sweetwater Crossing. She's just there for a few days to help a friend. But she can't abandon the injured man she finds at the side of the road. Until his broken leg heals, she'll serve as the town's doctor and midwife. She may not be fully qualified yet, but surely she's better than nothing. 
 
Josh Porter's plans to win his grandfather's challenge and fulfill his father's final wish to gain full control of the family business hit a roadblock when he breaks his leg. But his enforced stay in Sweetwater Crossing gives him new ideas about the expansion of the company into new territory--ideas Louisa could help turn into reality.  
 
If only the town were more accepting of Louisa's talents! Someone is determined to convince her to abandon her dream of healing others. Can Josh help her uncover the person behind the threats before it's too late? And is there any future for them together when neither of them plans to stay?

Virtues of Devotion - Faith and...

Esther Jameson

This book delves into the spiritual virtues that anchor and guide us toward a deeper connection with the divine. By embracing Faith, Trust in God, and Reverence, we develop a strong spiritual foundation that nurtures our relationship with God and fosters a life filled with devotion, peace, and purpose. These virtues are central to cultivating a life of spiritual commitment, love, and dedication.
Faith is the cornerstone of spiritual devotion. This section emphasizes the importance of believing in something greater than ourselves, even when faced with doubt or uncertainty. Faith in God allows us to see beyond the immediate challenges and trust that His plan for us is purposeful. It nurtures hope, provides guidance, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. With faith, we find strength in moments of weakness and clarity in times of confusion.
Trust in God goes hand in hand with faith but focuses more specifically on surrendering our worries and uncertainties to God. This section explores how trust in God allows us to relinquish control and fully rely on His wisdom and timing. Trusting in God means believing that He is always with us, guiding our path, and providing the grace we need, even in moments of doubt or hardship. It nurtures a profound sense of peace and security, knowing that God’s love and guidance are unwavering.
Reverence involves a deep respect and awe for the divine. This part highlights the importance of showing honor, humility, and deep admiration for God's holiness. Reverence calls us to approach life with a sense of sacredness, recognizing the presence of the divine in all aspects of creation. It encourages us to live in a way that reflects our reverence for God, through acts of kindness, gratitude, and devotion. Reverence strengthens our spiritual connection and inspires us to live a life that honors the divine in all things.

Divine Dialogue - Answer 31 God...

Alemu Beeftu

He asks the questions--because we need the answers 
 
· explore 31 questions God asks in the Bible 
· start a personal conversation with God 
· take part in His revelation, transformation, and victory 
 
 
It's common for us to ask God questions, but we don't often reflect on the questions God asks his people throughout Scripture. But when we understand that God asks these questions not because he needs the answer but because we do, we begin to see each inquiry as an invitation for a personal conversation--and encounter--with the King of kings. 
  
In this deeply thoughtful book you will study, and answer, 31 questions God asks in the Bible. As you respond to his voice, you will move into an extraordinary relationship with him, standing in awe as he 
· opens your eyes for clearer and greater vision 
· reveals what has been hidden 
· exposes deeper motives for repentance and restoration  
· draws you to the center of his will 
· affirms your calling and purpose 
· and more 
  
He asks not for himself, but to empower us to experience his renewal, restoration, revival, victory, hope, healing, and confidence. To reveal his purposes to us--for our sakes--so we may seek the answers that bring about the revelation and transformation we need to fulfill our destiny in Christ.

Any Questions?

Dr. Donald P. Forss

Any Questions offers the reader a fresh look into the two-millennium old message of Redemption through Jesus Christ. It takes the reader beyond mere religious conformity and morality to the essence of the gospel message, the resurrection of persons from death to life by the power of God. Overcoming the Death begins as spiritual work while we are still on earth. It is evidenced by the illumination of the mind and the transformation of the heart towards both God and Man. From these, we are able to know what we could not have known, be what we could not have been, and do what we could not have done, left to our own religious invention. Knowing God in this life is a true participation in the divine nature. The better we understand this the more likely we will grow up spiritual unto maturity. Any Questions starting with an essay about the Creation with Redemption in the mind of God is a dialogue aimed at providing spiritual direction and inspiration to the reader who seeks to intimately know God. Some 280 scripture passages with over 1,000 verses are referenced. Any Questions bridges the mind and heart into a unified expression of true faith, hope, and love in Jesus Christ.

Perfected - Trading Shame and...

Bethany Broderick

"Am I good enough?" The question plagued Bethany's heart and mind as she drifted off to sleep each night. She worried whether her meager efforts had met the expectations of those around her, the ones in her own head, and (more importantly) the ones she felt from God.  Culture answered her question with glowing affirmations. You’ve got this girl! Just believe in yourself! You are more than enough, just the way you are! Even in the church, her struggles with insufficiency and insecurity were met with true yet incomplete promises. He created you just as you are! You’re a princess in his eyes! You are enough for him! All these phrases were merely bandages covering the festering wound of how inadequate she felt.  How could she truly know if she was good enough?  Through biblical teaching alongside her own personal struggles with perfectionism and condemnation, Bethany shares how she learned to lay down her efforts to be good enough by trusting that Christ is enough for her. Perfected replaces the burdensome expectations and empty affirmations of this world with the truth that Christ has perfected you for all time. You can find freedom from your self-sufficient striving and rest in the finished work of Christ on your behalf.
