Synopsis

Embark on an Advent Journey through Darkness to the Light of Christ“If we do not embrace the darkness, we cannot welcome the light. This is the heart of Advent: a season of trustful surrender, renewed receptivity, and silent vigil. It is the time when we wait for the coming of the light—not just in the Christ child at Christmas, but in the inner illumination of God’s presence in the soul. God, who is conceived in silence and born in poverty, comes again to fill the soul with light (From the Introduction).”Illuminate: A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation, leads you on a four-week journey through darkness to light. Beginning with the prologue of St. John’s gospel, he reveals the profound hope found in the Word made flesh—the sacred mystery of the Incarnation.Week 1: Word—“In the beginning was the Word…”Encounter the eternal Word of God and learn to hear his voice speaking into your daily life.Week 2: Light—“The light shines in the darkness…”See how Christ’s light breaks through fear, doubt, and uncertainty, guiding you to embrace truth and hope.Week 3: Faith—“He came as a witness to testify to the light…”Like John the Baptist, become a bold and faithful witness to Christ’s love, bringing light to those around you.Week 4: Life—“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”Celebrate the miracle of the Incarnation and experience the fullness of God’s love in your everyday life.Conclude your Advent journey by welcoming Christmas morning with the powerful words of John’s gospel proclaimed at sunrise Mass.Through daily meditations, reflection questions, prayer, and beautiful artwork, you’ll move beyond abstract ideas to discover practical, life-changing ways to recognize and share Christ’s light in your everyday life.Perfect for personal reflection or group study, Illuminate includes free companion videos and a downloadable leader’s guide, found at avemariapress.com.This Advent, step into the light—and let it lead you to deeper hope, faith, and joy.

    Sometimes it takes everything falling apart . . . 
     
    Ambitious influencer Georgina Havoc and her designer boyfriend have been dubbed "the next Chip and Joanna Gaines"--a power couple that flip homes all over Nashville--and they plan to merge their unique styles into their new home renovation show. But their relationship falls apart when he blindsides her with a "pause." Forced to convince the network to take a chance on her as a solo star, Georgina takes on the task of renovating a forgotten cottage in the tiny, tight-knit town of Tarragon, Tennessee.  
     
    Facing one heartache and setback after another, Georgina moves forward with her plan to rebuild her life and save her career, but a surprise drop-in from her troubled twin sister makes things extra messy. The unexpected presence of rugged ex-sniper Cassidy Stokes also threatens to bring all the walls that she's built crashing down.  
     
    As she puts the pieces of her previously perfect life back together, will Georgina retreat to the familiar or boldly embrace a new design?

    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.

    Predestination

    There is clear evidence in the Bible that things are determined beforehand. Believing in predestination means that you believe that no one has any real control of events but everything has already been decided by God’s plan and purpose. On the other hand, there is also evidence that God gives us out free will and allows us the freedom to choose between good and evil. 
    The concept of predestination is difficult to grasp because of the way circumstances play out. But predestination is real! It is time for you to understand predestination so that you can work with God and walk with God more easily. 
    Another thought-provoking masterpiece by celebrated author, Dag Heward-Mills. Trust God and watch the outplaying of all the things that God ha destined for you. 
    Dag Heward-Mills is the author of many books, including the bestselling “Loyalty and Disloaylty”. He is the founder of the United Denominations originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches currently comprising three thousand churches. 
    Dag Heward-Mills, an international evangelist, ministers in international Healing Jesus Campaigns and pastors’ and church leaders’ conferences all over the word.
