  Out of the Shadow of Silence follows the tumultuous journey of a woman thirsting for love against a backdrop of adversity. In this epic rescue mission, God's love challenges the power of abusive behaviors and self-destruction mechanisms. We watch attentively as God's tender mercies meet each desperation with an abundance of peace. We discover the scope of His love and patience, remaining steadfast until every wound is healed and all darkness has been displaced by light. 
  Perhaps you may wonder why I have chosen to write this intro in the third person. Please allow me to explain. My name is Pastor Marilyn Marrero, and this is my story. Despite the fact that I am narrating this true account of my life, the woman you are about to meet is no longer in existence. Even as I write most of the pages of this book, she is unrecognizable to me, nothing more than a distant memory. 
  My deepest hope and prayer is that the same love that rescued me from Out of the Shadows of Silence would bring you into the marvelous light, where old things are made new, and you too can realize the beauty and freedom found in your God-given identity. 
  Let's get started!

  What Are Christians For? - Life...

  What does a Christian political witness look like in our day?
  Politics ought to be defined by fidelity to the common good of all the members of society. But our modern Western politics are defined by a determination to bend the natural world and human life to its own political and economic ends. This wholesale rejection of the natural order is behind the dominant revolutions in our history, and defines our experience in Western society today—our racialized hierarchy, modern industry, and the sexual revolution.
  In What Are Christians For?, Jake Meador lays out a proposal for a Christian politics rooted in the givenness and goodness of the created world. He is uninterested in the cultural wars that have so often characterized American Christianity. Instead, he casts a vision for an ordered society that rejects the late modern revolution at every turn and is rooted in the natural law tradition and the great Protestant confessions. Here is a political approach that is antiracist, anticapitalist, and profoundly pro-life. A truly Christian political witness, Meador argues, must attend closely to the natural world and renounce the metallic fantasies that have poisoned common life in America life for too long.

  The Jonathon Island series is created by USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Susan May Warren. 
  He was her late husband's best friend, but for him she'd always been the one. 
  Mia Jonathon Franklin has been living a nightmare for the last two years—ever since her husband and high school sweetheart died in a fishing boat accident, leaving her to care for her two young kids on her own. She's managed to stay afloat, but her husband's paltry life insurance money is gone—and if she can't find a way to support her family, she may lose the cozy cottage she and Troy had meant to grow old in. 
  So when Mia is offered a chance to buy her own house for a dollar if she can find business owners to move to Jonathon Island, it seems like the answer to her prayers. That is until she learns the ridiculous quota required to complete the deal. She’s in over her head...until her late husband's best friend offers to lend a hand. 
  Cody Hart has been haunted by survivor's guilt since the boating accident that claimed his best friend's life. Torn between his own dreams of reopening his family's fishing business and his desire to help Mia, the woman he has loved since their youth, he steps up to help. She needs him and he’s not going to let her down…or let his heart cause her more pain. 
  As Mia and Cody work together to breathe new life into the island's Main Street, their shared history and undeniable connection threatens to reignite long-buried feelings. Can they overcome the obstacles that stand in their way and find the courage to embrace a second chance at love, or will the weight of their pasts and the uncertainties of the future keep them from the happiness they both deserve?

  Virginia plantation life is all she has ever known.  
  But could the life she was meant to live be waiting on a distant shore?  
   
  In 1774, Juliet Catesby lives with her father and sister at Royal Vale, the James River plantation founded by her Virginia family over a century before. Indigo cultivation is her foremost concern, though its export tethers her family to the powerful Buchanan clan of Glasgow, Scotland.  
   
  When the heir of the Buchanan firm arrives on their shores, Juliet discovers that her father has arranged for one of his daughters to marry the Scot as a means of canceling the family's crippling debt. Confident it will be her younger, lovelier sister, Juliet is appalled when Leith Buchanan selects her instead. 
   
  Despite her initial refusal, Juliet realizes that fleeing Virginia is her only choice after finding herself in the midst of a scandal. The ship just leaving the harbor for Glasgow is her only hope. But she will soon realize that being part of the complex and calculating Buchanan clan is not the sanctuary she imagined--and the man who saved her from ruin is the very one she must now save in return.

  The good news is, whatever relationship style you have naturally, you're not stuck with it! Using the strategies found in this book, you can 
   
  · identify your relationship style (and your partner's) 
  · understand the strengths and challenges of that style 
  · overcome feelings of rejection and failed relationships 
  · recognize the patterns and behaviors that are affecting your relationships 
  · develop better ways to express and receive love 
   
  If you've been caught in a cycle of unsatisfying relationships, discover how attachment theory can help you take the guesswork out of understanding why people behave the way they do--especially in times of stress--so you can find and sustain a love that lasts.

  Sage - A Man's Guide Into His...

  All men must reckon with midlife. The time comes for every man where he realizes the morning of his life will soon turn towards afternoon. There is just as much behind as there is ahead, and the passage into a new season is about to begin. But many men have little sense of what this new season could or should entail, and we struggle knowing how to navigate it. We lack a vision for what it means to become a godly "Sage." 
  The manhood journey is cyclical rather than linear, and the further along we travel, we find ourselves once again at the beginning. To truly become a Sage, we must go deeper and in reverse to recover those parts of us we exiled, forgot, lost, or never fully knew. Men who successfully navigate midlife emerge with a vision for who God originally made them to be. But men who go on living their lives without an awareness of their own deep need for this intentional work simply grow old, believing their best years are behind them rather than ahead. To become a Sage is the highest calling of God on men. It is the pinnacle of manhood, and yet the vast majority of men settle for a too-small story as they pass the midlife mark. This passage into the second half is God's invitation to His bigger story. 
  If the task of the first passage is to find the man within the boy and call him forth, the task of the second passage is to find the boy within the man and bring him home. 
  Sage: A Man's Guide Into His Second Passage invites men into an intentional journey through midlife and into the Sage.
