  This life is a prelude to our destiny in glory. We follow in the victory parade of the Lord Jesus: His life, death, resurrection, and destiny. A joyous eternity awaits and beckons us with expectant hope. We'll start our reflections on the journey each of us must take with its destination--"Longing for a Better Country", peruse themes populating our path home "Along the Way", before concluding with some reflections about our earthly exit "Into His Presence". Finishing and dying well is part and parcel of seeing life as a gift from God and part of an interwoven whole. The way we pass from life to death can be a wonderful legacy to those we leave behind. Ralph (R.V.) Seep serves as the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives. He holds degrees in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame, in Law from Duke University, and in Exegetical Theology from Western Seminary. R.V. has served in numerous capacities in local churches. He and his wife, Dottie, have two adult children and four grandchildren and reside near Annapolis, Maryland.

  As the third book in Emily Bernath’s Broken Lenses series, Broken Lenses Volume 3: Experiencing God’s Freedom in a World of Sin steps back to answer the questions, “Who is God? Do I want to get to know God? What do I get out of it?”Anyone can walk into a church and hear messages about the goodness and holiness of God, but what does that really mean? And how does God’s goodness impact everyday people? Broken Lenses Volume 3 aims to answer these questions head-on, with each chapter looking at a different characteristic of God’s nature, how God emulates that characteristic, and how having a God who holds those characteristics impacts every human being. It’s one thing to know that God is holy, sovereign, and merciful—it’s another to know how God chooses to exercise that holy, sovereign, and merciful nature. Everyone wants freedom from the shame and guilt of sin, but only God is qualified to provide that freedom. While many paint their own picture of God’s identity and intention, Broken Lenses Volume 3 aims to dispel conflicting information about the heart of God and teach readers about God’s true nature—and the true freedom available to all who seek a relationship with Him.

  So many of us are leaving conservative faith traditions behind, rightly saying goodbye to toxic theology, bigotry, and harm. But in the process, we often lose our rhythm of gathering, prayer, and worship. We may even lose our sense of connection to God. And we think it's our fault. But spiritual coach, speaker, and podcaster Kevin Miguel Garcia is here with a reminder: "We don't need saving because we were never in danger. We don't need to get found because we've never been lost. Everything we need to connect with the Divine is already inside us." 
   
   
   
  What Makes You Bloom is a guide to creating your new spiritual practice after your life or faith has fallen apart. When going to church, praying, and reading your Bible just doesn't cut it or outright disturbs you, this book will show you how to cultivate new, meaningful spiritual practices—like stillness, presence, breath, and movement—that will help you overcome the pain of your past and root yourself in the present. 
   
   
   
  Through stories, insights, and guided meditations, Garcia explains how the goal of every spiritual practice should be about the attainment of peace—about finding what truly makes you bloom. Along the way, you will discover that the smallest changes in your life can bring about the biggest transformations, and that a feeling of bliss is only a few breaths away.

En route she awakens to discover that they've entered Nazi Germany—the last place she wants to be as a Jew. 
   
   
   
  In need of concealing her faith, and with limited choices, Edith becomes the private teacher to Erich's young brothers. Her roommate is a Roma with a tragic past and also hides from the Nazis in plain sight. When the new friends learn that Erich's father is a senior member of the Nazi party, they know it is time to escape. Yet, Nazi patrols complicate their travels.
