  “This is our challenge, our invitation: to tune, to heighten, to awaken our senses to the God who is already all around us, surrounding us, hemming us in, behind and before.” 
  Eroding our commonly-held and heavily-baked image of God as some kind of superhuman in the sky, ‘Exploring Elohim’s Embrace’ draws us towards the infinite trinitarian God who is three persons mutually indwelling, intimately enveloping and passionately embracing. 
  The God who is Love and Light and Breath. 
  Who is Beauty and Wisdom and Peace. 
  Relationship, Consciousness, Joy. 
  And a myriad more. 
  Clear and concise and packed with Biblical references, this beautifully poetic book offers innovative and moving insight into humanity’s unending, enduring exploration into who or what and where is an invisible yet omnipresent God? 
  Because, as Pete Atkinson writes in his preface: 
  "It feels scary, dangerous - not to mention impossible - for the finite to attempt to describe the infinite. 
  But it also feels exhilarating, liberating - not to mention necessary - to explore…"

  “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.”

  Recovering the Practice of Lament 
   
   
   
  The church desperately needs to recover the practice of lament. But what exactly are we asking for? 
   
   
   
  The call for lament echoes throughout the pages of Scripture. This ever-present genre shaped the lives of ancient communities, and it should shape the practices of churches today. And yet contemporary Christian communities often don't know how to engage texts of lament in their contexts. In a world experiencing so much pain, a recovery of biblical lament is more necessary than ever. 
   
   
   
  In Walking with God Through the Valley, Old Testament scholar May Young offers a guide for listeners to engage lament texts both in their church communities and in their personal lives. Drawing deeply from key passages in Scripture, including the Psalms, Habakkuk, and Lamentations, Young posits that true lament must come out of a deep understanding of the biblical text. Through practicing lament in our own lives, we can move through pain and suffering and experience God's renewed hope.
