Let It Go - A Conversation with...

Crina Okumus

It is so noisy outside. Every day, new voices tell you how to live, what to fix, and how to do better. A new book promises to teach you the next solution almost every week. But this is not that kind of book. 
Let It Go is not a manual. It is a reminder, a mirror that shows you your most important resources are already inside you. It is a gentle call to return home to yourself. 
For years, author Crina Okumus believed success meant running faster, working harder, and chasing money. She built businesses, achieved much, and yet felt empty until the moment everything stopped. In silence, she asked: Who am I really, and how can I truly help? 
During meditation, with only a notebook and a pen, she surrendered, and the words came. For three months she wrote without stopping. What poured out became this book: a record of her journey through fear, darkness, and doubt, and her awakening into a deeper truth. 
The book is divided into two parts: 
•⁠  ⁠A raw and intimate conversation with God, flowing from the deepest places of the heart. 
•⁠  ⁠Practical, soul-guiding chapters drawn from Crina’s path, steps that helped her remember her hidden superpower and the magic within. 
Inside you will discover: 
•⁠  ⁠The fall that wakes you, and how fear can become your teacher. 
•⁠  ⁠How to embrace your inner beauty and feminine power. 
•⁠  ⁠The courage to listen deeply to your soul, life, and God. 
•⁠  ⁠Money as a mirror, one of our most excellent teachers. 
•⁠  ⁠Why the right tools only find you when you are truly ready. 
•⁠  ⁠And, most of all, that beyond every storm there is only love and the Source. 
At the end, Crina offers guiding questions to help you integrate the journey into your own life, so this book becomes her story and yours. 
Let It Go is not here to teach you how to become someone else. It is here to remind you of who you are.

The Wood Between the Worlds - A...

Brian Zahnd

The cross is the heart of Scripture 
 
 
 
Everything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the story—the axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never conclude—that there is always something more to be said. 
 
 
 
Brian Zahnd reminds us that the meaning of the cross is multifaceted and should touch every aspect of our lives. Just as gazing through the eyepiece of a kaleidoscope reveals a new geometric image with every turn, Zahnd helps us see that there are infinite ways to behold the cross of Christ as the beautiful form that saves the world. The Wood Between the Worlds is an invitation to encounter the cross of Christ anew.
