  When a Southern woman with a broken heart finds herself falling for a widower with a broken boat, it's anything but smooth sailing. 
  With a gift shop full of her own jewelry designs and a sweet little sailboat, Tadie Longworth doesn't spend much time worrying that she's turning into one of Beaufort, North Carolina's, spinsters--until the guy who got away shows up and starts hitting on her again. 
  Widower Will Merritt provides the perfect distraction when he cruises into town with a broken sailboat and a perky seven-year-old daughter, and Tadie offers them shelter during a hurricane. Jilly soon becomes the daughter she could have had and Will the man she always wanted. Only, Will has sworn never to let another woman in his life. Any day now, he's going to finish those repairs, and that ship's going to sails--straight out of Tadie's life.

  Is 'newer' really 'better'?We often assume so, but if we do treat the past as inferior we will ignore the legacy of history, and thus will find ourselves stranded on the tiny desert island of our own moment in time.In particular, this applies to Christian theology, which should be thought, and lived, corporately by the church down through the ages.The remedy to 'chronological snobbery' is, as C.S. Lewis put it, 'to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds'. Such is the motivation behind Michael Reeves' introduction to a selection of influential or significant Christian theologians.This accessible and informative volume covers the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm and Thomas Aquinas.Each chapter begins with a brief biography and some background, then surveys each theologian's major work or works, gives a timeline for historical context, and ends with guidance for further reading.

  Countercultural Yet Biblical Advice for High School and College Students, Ideal for Graduation and Birthday Gifts
  Most speeches addressed to high school and college students follow a similar theme: march to the beat of your own drum.

  In this collection of inspiring sermons and graduation speeches, Kevin DeYoung delivers a motivational, biblical call to young people: serve God faithfully—and if necessary, counter-culturally—in the next season of your life. Do Not Be True to Yourself includes practical advice for cultivating a Christ-centered worldview in every area of adult life, including relationships, work, church participation, and spiritual growth, making it a transformational resource for mentoring students.

  In this fresh look at finding balance between work and sabbath rest, Justin McRoberts leads readers on their journey from false self to true self, discovering that growth and maturity take root in the knowledge of their belovedness in Christ. 
  In his two decades working as a full-time artist and spiritual guide, Justin McRoberts has experienced first-hand the tension between "The Hustle" and "Self Care." In recent years, that conversation has turned to argument as people have suggested that one is more important than the other. But Justin disagrees entirely with such a one-sided approach. 
  Justin says, "My natural posture is not work, nor is my natural posture rest. My natural posture is belovedness, and both work and rest spring from my belovedness, and return me to it." In this book, he uses humorous and poignant stories to help readers discover the deep truths about us being laborers for/with Christ, empowered by the Spirit, as well as worshipers of God the Father. Readers will learn howSabbath is a gift and a practice that frees us from the anxiety of proving ourselvesThey are loved and valued by God for who and whose they are—not for what they doRest is not the absence of work; it is what gives work meaningWe can love our world and the people in it through what we do 
    
  We are not tools in God's tool belt, valued only for our gifts and talents. Nor are we ascetics called to abandon "daily life" to find God in the desert and just sit there. We are beloved by the One who holds all things together . . . including our need to work and our need to rest. 
  Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
