Summary

This heartwarming prequel to The Shunning is a tender story of love, belonging, and the courage to move forward. 
		 
After her widowed father remarries, nineteen-year-old Clara Bender is no longer needed to help run his household. Marriage seems like her best hope of moving out, but there are few young men in her tiny Indiana Amish community. When she comes across letters from her mother's aunt Ella Mae Zook, she sets off to visit Lancaster County's Hickory Hollow to decide where her future lies. 
 
Ella Mae is not quite ready to move from the farmhouse where she and her recently deceased husband spent over fifty happy years, but her children are eager to resettle her, making Clara's visit seem like an answer to prayer. The two women form a warm bond while restoring an heirloom wedding quilt and sharing their lives, with Ella Mae confiding about a tragedy from her courting years. Eventually, Ella Mae suggests Clara stay for the summer, allowing Ella Mae more time with her and giving Clara an opportunity to meet the area's eligible young men. But when the unexpected happens, will Clara find where her heart truly belongs?

    In this riveting exploration of one of the Bible’s most iconic stories, Reaching for the Heavens delves into the epic saga of human ambition, pride, and divine intervention. The Tower of Babel, an ancient symbol of mankind’s desire to reach the heavens and become like God, stands as a monument to the dangers of overreaching and the fragile nature of human unity. 
Drawing on historical context, biblical insight, and rich storytelling, this book takes readers on a journey through the rise of the Tower—a colossal effort driven by the people’s collective will to conquer the heavens. But what began as an ambitious feat of engineering and unity soon spirals into confusion and chaos as God intervenes, scattering the people and confusing their languages. 
Through a mix of profound reflections and timeless lessons, Reaching for the Heavens unpacks themes of pride, human folly, the fragility of unity, and the consequences of overstepping divine boundaries. It’s a tale of both human greatness and downfall, and the reminder that, while we may strive to build empires, it is only by the grace of God that we truly stand united. 
Perfect for readers seeking inspiration and insight from ancient stories with modern-day relevance, this book is a powerful call to reflect on the pursuits of power, the need for humility, and the eternal quest to know our place in the vast design of creation. Will we build towers that reach to the heavens, or will we learn to walk humbly in the shadow of a far greater power?

    What if the truth regarding what you’ve been taught about hell is far more beautiful than you ever imagined? In this groundbreaking entry in the micro theology series, you’ll discover 28 powerful ideas to revolutionize your understanding of divine love, justice, and redemption. Through personal stories of loss and profound theological exploration, this book reveals how “love burns like fire”—not to destroy, but to transform and restore everything it touches. Prepare to have your faith challenged, your heart opened, and your hope for humanity’s ultimate destiny completely renewed. 
--Jonathan invites us to imagine a God whose love is so compelling and relentless that, in the end, we are wooed—not threatened—into surrender. —Loren Richmond Jr., Chaplain and Ministry Consultant, host of the Future Christian Podcast 
--Jonathan Foster unpacks the “why” behind shifting views on hell with a compassionate mix of honesty, depth and solid research. This will help so many people who are wrestling with big questions in a way that is both evidence-based and relatable. —Leslie Nease, author of Honoring the Journey: The Deconstruction of Sister Christian and Host of Honoring the Journey Podcast 
--This is not simply another boring “hot take” on hell. Instead, Foster offers a deep, honest, and human analysis of how Love screws with our tired conceptions of who’s in and who’s out. Love, it turns out, is more difficult than fear, retribution, and wrath. Are you up for the challenge? If so, let Foster be your guide! —Josh Patterson, host of (Re)thinking Faith Podcast
