  Twelve-year-old Violet Crane is an only child in a lonely household who longs to be part of the gregarious family that's just moved in next door. 
   
   
   
  With a mother struggling with anxiety, a father who recently moved out, and no siblings to commiserate with, socially awkward Violet Crane feels like she is starting middle school with less going for herself than that of your average kid. 
   
   
    
  When the rambunctious Walker family moves in next door, Violet can't help but wish she could become a part of their household—everyone and everything seems so normal compared to her own. 
   
   
    
  After she meets them, Violet falls in love with all five Walker siblings and especially with Mrs. Walker, who is nothing like her own mother. Violet and Reggie, the black sheep of the Walker family, find that they have an easy understanding of each other, and it doesn't hurt that they are in the same grade at school. 
   
   
    
  But then Violet overhears a conversation between Reggie and his mother in which she tells him that she doesn't feel like Violet is an appropriate friend. Violet is devastated until she faces a truth—no person, family, or friendship is perfect—and realizes just how lucky she is.

  Seventeen, dead, and in charge of heaven's dark angels—all itching to kill someone. 
  Madison Avery's dreams of ever fitting in at her new school died when she did. Especially since she was able to maintain the illusion of a body, deal with a pesky guardian angel, and oh yeah, bring the reaper who killed her to his untimely end. Not exactly in-crowd material. It's amazing that her crush, Josh, doesn't think she's totally nuts. 
  Now Madison has learned that she's the dark timekeeper, in charge of angels who follow the murky guidelines of fate. Never one to abide by the rules, she decides it's time for a major change to the system. With the help of some unlikely allies, Madison forms a rogue group of reapers who definitely don't adhere to the rules of the heavens.  
  But as she grapples with the terrifying new skills that come with being a timekeeper, Madison realizes she may not be prepared for what lies ahead—unless she gets some seriously divine intervention.

  In this book, Pastor Craig tackles a raw and deeply personal issue that many of us face: How do I find the strength and faith to start over after experiencing one of life’s toughest challenges? He refers to these moments as “life-altering events.” To shed light on this topic, Pastor Craig examines the lives, experiences, and lessons of four well-known biblical figures: Job, Ruth, the Samaritan woman (also known as the Woman at the Well), and Mary of Magdala. You’ll quickly realize that these biblical heroes are not so different from many of us. Their inspiring stories of overcoming the unimaginable, with God’s help, will motivate you to embark on your own journey of renewal. Pastor Craig also addresses contemporary challenges such as divorce, church hurt, betrayal, molestation, and the process of rebuilding your professional reputation after a career disaster. Prepare yourself for an impactful journey. It is Pastor Craig’s prayer that you see your own struggles reflected in these characters’ stories and that you find the divine healing and guidance from our Lord Jesus Christ to help you start over and live a victorious, renewed life.

  Formaldehyde, borax, salicylic acid. Today these chemicals are used in embalming fluids, cleaning supplies, and acne medications. But just over a hundred years ago, they were routinely added to all kinds of food by unregulated and unethical companies. Noted science and history writer Gail Jarrow introduces readers to the relentless work of U.S. government chemist Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, who mounted a thirty-year campaign to protect consumers from harmful food and drugs. As part of his research, he tested food additives by serving them to a squad of volunteers—the poison eaters. The stubborn dedication of Wiley and his allies eventually led to the creation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and to safer—less poisonous!—food, drugs, and cosmetics.
