Summary

Someone once said, “Don’t just respect crowns. Respect scars.” This is what the book, Scandal of Grace is about – walking you through a process of a grace so scandalous, yet unbelievably beautiful on the other side.

Grace Alexander, our main character, is wary of everyone who comes into her life, after a series of very traumatic events. She battles with the definition of her identity, and what part God is to play in her story. She navigates her teenage years with her two best friends, Claudia, and Jeremiah, until she meets Stephen.

There’s a lot of drama in Grace’s class. Her past remains a mystery until an inevitable moment of truth. Claudia holds a grudge. Grace struggles with her newfound reality, as life seems unfair.

Is there truly a God? Does happiness really exist or is it only a facade? How will Grace come to terms with the truth? How will her friends accept this change?

Join me on this journey of a teenager’s self-discovery.

    Read by the author. 
A laugh-out-loud funny true story of a loving relationship, a grand adventure, and a promise kept.  
It was only a few years after the starry-eyed young couple got married when scary news threatened to take the wind out of their sails. But Sean Dietrich's wife, Jamie, wouldn't let it. She dared to hope for and plan for a great big adventure, and she made him promise to do it with her. For love and the promise of biscuits along the way, Sean--who was never an athlete of any kind--undertook the bike ride of a lifetime and lived to talk about it.  
In this true-life tale, master storyteller Sean Dietrich--also known as the beloved columnist and creator of the blog and podcast "Sean of the South"--shares their hilarious, touching, and sometimes terrifying story of the long bike ride to conquer The Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath trail. As you laugh out loud through every hard-won mile and lose yourself in his signature poignancy, you'll experience a great adventure that, in the end, will remind you of what's most important in life, the value of keeping your promises, and the importance of connection in your most treasured relationships.  
A feel-good read you won't be able to put down, You Are My Sunshine dares you to hope for an adventure of your own.

    Do you long for a more honest, imaginative, and Scripture-rich companion for the Advent season? A devotional willing to acknowledge the darkness of exile and the brokenness you see around and within, so you might rejoice more fully in the arrival of Jesus, the Light of the World? In Advent for Exiles songwriter and storyteller Caroline Cobb weaves together Scripture readings, song lyrics, poetic prose, biblical imagery, and responsive exercises to help you: break away from the hurried holiday pace, and daily stoke your anticipation for Jesus’s coming, engage both your mind and your imagination in the truth of God’s Word, walk in the shoes of the Old Testament exiles, linking arms with them as they ache for the Messiah, travel the Advent road from darkness to daybreak, exile to homecoming, and wilderness to a flourishing garden, explore how the full story of Scripture—from creation to Christ’s return—informs and expands your delight at Christmas. As the darkness of a long night sharpens our longing for the sunrise, this book of daily readings for the month of December will whet your appetite for the promised Messiah and amplify your joy at His arrival. Come slow your pace, engage your imagination, and feast on the rich and relevant biblical theme of exile: His light shining in our darkness, His seed sprouting green in our wilderness. Allow yourself to experience the ache of Advent, so you might rejoice all the more at the beauty of Christ’s coming!

    Part of the classic Secret series devotionals, The Secret of United Prayer contains one month of daily selections on the power of united prayer. Murray expresses his desire that many would join the ranks of intercessors—those who pray continually, in unison, for the church of Christ and His kingdom on earth. He studies the "lost" secret of Pentecost: the sure promise that the power of the Holy Spirit will be given in answer to fervent prayer.
