Waiting Upon the Lord

Barbara Smith

Sinopsis

"...And when they gathered around Him, He instructed them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's Promise..."
1:4 in Acts
 
When God planned mankind's redemption, He did so in a spectacular way. He did not send down lightning bolts from the skies, nor did He send down earthquakes to rock the earth, nor did He appoint an angelic council to devise the plan of redemption. God simply placed a child in the womb of a poor virgin and waited.
 
If waiting is in God's nature, it should be in ours as well. God, on the other hand, has perfected the art of waiting—we haven't. Waiting means remaining in a location until an expected event occurs or until someone comes. It is to remain still until it is our moment to act. Waiting is the act of remaining patiently hopeful that something will happen shortly. God's children rarely stay put, and we frequently and impatiently act out of turn, missing out on the chance to receive God's best for our life.
 
When King David said, "I understand the spiritual significance of waiting," he was expressing his understanding of the spiritual significance of waiting.

Dancing with the Enemy

Diane Armstrong

From the bestselling author of The Collaborator comes a compelling story of betrayal, collusion, revenge, and redemption set in German-occupied Jersey during World War II.

June 1940. `It was a perfect June evening that began with hope and ended in despair.' So begins the journal of Hugh Jackson, a Jersey doctor, whose idyllic world is shattered when Britain abandons the Channel Islands which are invaded by the Germans. Forced to choose between conflicting loyalties, he sends his pregnant wife to England, believing their separation will be brief. It's a fateful decision that will affect every aspect of his life.
May 1942. Young Tom Gaskell fumes whenever he sees the hated swastika flying from Fort Regent. Humiliated by Jersey's surrender and ashamed of his mother's fraternisation with the occupiers, Tom forms an audacious plan, not suspecting that it will result in guilt and tragedy.
April 2019. Sydney doctor Xanthe Maxwell, traumatised by the suicide of her colleague and burnt out by the relentless pressure of her hospital work, travels to St Helier so she can figure out what to do with her life. But when she finds Hugh Jackson's World War II journal, she is plunged into a violent world of oppression and collusion, but also of passion and resistance. As she reads, she is mystified by her growing sense of connection to the past. Her deepening relationship with academic Daniel Miller helps her understand Jersey's wartime past and determine her own future.
By the time this novel reaches its moving climax, the connection between Tom, Xanthe and Hugh Jackson has been revealed in a way none of them could possibly have imagined.
