    “He built his life around logic. She built hers around healing. Can they find common ground in the heart? 
Ronald Duncan is a high-powered attorney with a reputation for winning every case, and for being emotionally unavailable. When his cold, calculated approach begins to cost him elite clients, he is forced to take a month-long break in Arizona to “get in touch with his emotions.” However, he never expected to run into Melina Stanford, the woman who once cracked his carefully built defenses in college and the last person he wants as a witness to his emotional unraveling. 
Melina has dedicated her life to emotional healing as a successful life coach. She teaches others how to reconnect with their feelings, embrace vulnerability, and live with intention. When Ronald reappears in her life, still arrogant and still guarded, old wounds surface. But so does an undeniable pull between them. 
As past misunderstandings give way to present-day sparks, Ronald and Melina must navigate a slow-burning, second chance romance that challenges everything they believe about connection, forgiveness, and the true cost of staying emotionally shut off. 
Told in dual points of view, Metamorphosis: Asleep – Aware – Awake – Alive is a powerful and inspirational women’s fiction novel about healing from emotional trauma, breaking down emotional walls, and rediscovering love in unexpected places. 
Perfect for fans of character-driven romance novels, self-discovery journeys, and heartfelt fiction about personal transformation.”

    Is God Calling You? -...

    How do you know if God is calling you or not? How can you know? Dr. Thiel gives many scriptures that help you know if God is calling you. Many verses from the Bible are presented to prove that it is only a very small flock that is being called by God during the church age, the age we are now in - John 6: 65 "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." Not everyone is being called by God at this time. 
Are you one of the elect? Are you one that is being called now? If so, why? Why is God calling you now? What is the purpose of your calling? Dr. Thiel answers this question with another verse from the Bible - 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all. (Romans 11:31-32). God is calling you now so that, through you, God might have mercy on all! 
What an awesome calling! You, if you accept God's call and overcome until the end, will have the opportunity to help multiple thousands, perhaps millions of others come to God in the age to come - 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations — (Revelation 2:26). 
If you are being called now, Dr. Thiel provides verses that prove you were predestined to be called. But you must accept that calling. The choice is up to you. God won't force you to become part of His family. 
If God is calling you, what about the others? Are they lost? No! Dr. Thiel makes plain with many scriptures that God wants to have mercy on all, each in their own order. 
He is calling you now to help you develop Godly character. God's character is love. By developing true Godly love you will help make eternity a better place for all.

    What you’re looking for isn’t always what you find. 
 
Trudy Yoder shares a passion for birding with Micah Weaver—and she has an even greater passion for Micah. Their friendship is finally turning romantic when Micah abruptly grows cold. Worse still, he wants to leave Stoney Ridge. 
 
Micah thought he was over Trudy’s older sister, Shelley, who shattered his heart by running away to Nashville to pursue a singing career. Then out of the blue, she started leaving alarming messages for him. 
 
So when the bishop asks for volunteers to scout a potential church relocation in Tennessee, Micah jumps at the opportunity. Despite scant details, he’s confident he can find Shelley. After all, his reputation as a field guide is based on finding birds that don’t want to be found. 
 
But what he discovers in Tennessee is far from what he expects.
