Sinopse

Hiding from Nazis in the French Alps, a teenage girl is torn between love and safety in this “exciting, evocative” novel by the international bestselling author (Daily Mail). Jews fleeing Poland in 1943, Sara and her family are hiding from the horrors of World War II in a house in the mountains in France. Sara is enjoying the beauty of her surroundings, the temporary respite from danger—and her blossoming romance with the villager Alain. But the Germans remain a looming and ever-present menace. When that threat becomes too close for comfort, Sara’s parents decide it is time to move on again, hoping to reach Italy and, finally, Palestine. However, Sara wants only to remain with Alain—a harrowing choice that will mean not only parting from her mother and father but joining the fight waged by the French Resistance and risking her life for love and freedom. “A moving story of love and friendship with a wonderful sense of place.” —Kate Mosse, bestselling author of Labyrinth “Carol Drinkwater’s writing is like taking an amazing holiday in book form.” —Jenny Colgan, New York Times–bestselling author of The House at the Edge of the Cliff

    You don’t have to choose between your faith and your future. 
    Most people live two lives: 
    The one where they grind through work, relationships, and responsibilities… 
    And the one where they quietly wonder, “Is this it?” 
    Faith, Friendships, and Business is the answer to that question. 
    It’s a raw, no-filter look into the real lives of everyday leaders—entrepreneurs, professionals, and purpose-driven people—who’ve walked through storms and found something stronger than success: alignment. 
    This book is not theory. 
    It’s stories, lessons, and hard-won wisdom from people who’ve: 
    Built careers while keeping their faith intact 
    Walked away from toxic environments and found healing 
    Navigated leadership, loss, and personal growth without selling out who they are 
    Reconnected with God, real friendships, and the reason behind the hustle 
    If you’ve ever felt like your faith doesn’t “fit” in the workplace… 
    If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your job, your business, or your broken friendships… 
    If you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine when it’s clearly not—this book is for you. 
    Read it. 
    Highlight it. 
    Wrestle with it. 
    Then show up in your life with more clarity, more courage, and more conviction than ever before. 
    Because you weren’t made to grind through life. 
    You were made to live it—on purpose, with purpose, and never alone.

    One of the most incredible missionary stories of the 20th century. As a young boy Andrew Montonera stumbled upon a cabinet of books in his grandparents' house. He was captivated by what he discovered—the library of his distant relatives, John and Betty. By Life or by Death shares the story of these two remarkable people—inspirations of contagious joy and kingdom-focused lives.John Cornelius Stam and Elisabeth Alden "Betty" Scott met at Moody Bible Institute in fall 1929. A few years later, their paths crossed again—this time in China. The two were united in marriage and in their love for the Chinese people.Using family scrapbooks and unpublished sources, Montonera takes a fresh look at a famous story—how two missionaries and their baby were kidnapped by Chinese soldiers and ransomed. Montonera recounts the courage and martyrdom of the Stams, as well as the succeeding miraculous tale that captured the world’s attention.The Stams' lives were cut short, but their faithfulness continues to impact Christianity in China today. By Life or by Death looks at the legacy of the Stams, including new testimonies of those shaped by their commitment to the gospel.Shortly before his death, John Stam mailed a letter to the mission authorities. He wrote, May God be glorified whether by life or by death (Philippians 1:20).Discover how that prayer was answered both in the deaths and lives of John and Betty Stam.

    Longing for Joy - An Invitation...

    Can we still have joy in a world of pain and anxiety? 
     
     
     
    The troubles around us and in our lives lead many of us into a joyless experience where despair and hopelessness are the norm. Yet something within us still longs for a joy that transcends our challenges and gives us meaning and satisfaction. 
     
     
     
    Alastair Sterne says that our inner longings for joy actually point us to a God of joy who gives us both the capacity for joy and the realities of joyful experience. Sterne explores pathways to joy and why we often experience the absence of joy. He then offers theologically grounded and research-based practices for becoming people of joyful presence. Even if we are not temperamentally happy enthusiasts, we can gradually cultivate the deep abiding joy that we were created for and that enriches the world around us.

    Baggage has gotten a bad rap. We think it's all bad. We think it makes us less likely to have good, healthy relationships today. But baggage isn't just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past. It's the lessons we've taken from the pain we carry. It's how what we've been through has actually made us stronger and more capable than we imagine. And it's how we're going to make our current relationships work. 
     
    Far from minimizing past pain, pastor Ike Miller shows you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff. The intentionality you've developed. The empathy you've gained. The trust you value so highly. Miller shares from his own past in a dysfunctional family impacted by alcoholism and divorce, and his present as part of a healthy and loving family, to illustrate how to stop letting your past sabotage your present.  
     
    You'll find no platitudes or pat answers here. Rather, you'll discover untapped riches of experience and knowledge you already have that can make your relationships thrive and change the course of your life and legacy.
