Forgiveness

Jerry Zinn

Synopsis

Andrew Hilderbrand loses his parents in a tragic automobile accident in Atlanta while they were on an out-of-town business vacation trip. Shortly after, Andrew’s fiancée, Jennie Summers, reveals to Andrew that she is pregnant. The pregnancy violates conditions in their grandparents’ will and testament, stating that no beneficiary shall have children out of wedlock or participate in an abortion. To continue to be accepted by Andrew’s grandparents and the church community in their small California town, Andrew and Jennie attempt to cover up the pregnancy. Jennie takes an internship project seven hours away at a Baja, California marine laboratory, where she would remain in hiding until after her twin boys are born.

Would the cover-up work?

Not quite.

A devastating event sends the couple into a tailspin and could force them to reveal their deception. Would they risk being ostracized by their strict, influential grandparents and their moralistic Christian community? Moreover, how would this affect their faith and their relationship with God? Do the people in their lives have the capacity to forgive not only the sin but the cover-up?

The decisions they make and the steps they take will have a broad impact on their lives, the lives of their family members, and the wider church community. The suspense and humor in this powerful story will inspire you and cause you to reassess what are genuinely the limits of tolerance and grace.

Daughter, you are seen, known, and named by the Creator who breathed the stars into existence—even on the days you feel invisible. This is your invitation to let go of shame and discover the courage, grace, and compassion to live seen and make Him known.

A Single Life to Live - Stop...

Hannah Schermerhorn

Hannah Schermerhorn was months away from getting married when her wedding was called off. She absolutely loathed being single again, but in the following years, God taught her many hard lessons that transformed her from bitterness to authentic joy. Now she shares what she's learned from other singles (who wish they weren't). 
 
 
 
Drawing from the diverse experiences of single people in the Bible, Hannah debunks common myths and misunderstandings about singleness, including the pervasive feeling that a person can't really begin their life until they're married. She guides the lonely, hopeless, and impatient through the internal battles they face and the external pressures they feel in order to discover that a single life is a life worth living, and it's worth living well. 
 
 
 
God has a special purpose for singleness, whether it lasts only a season or for a person's whole life. Let Hannah help you discover God's best for you in your single life.

Many of us aspire to achieve status, wealth, and notability in the hopes that those things will erase the pain of our past. But for those who have experienced trauma, like Nona Jones, success requires more than a changed mindset--it requires repairing a broken spirit.

Since then, she has led award-winning initiatives in public affairs, brokered multimillion-dollar business deals, addressed the United Nations, and championed juvenile justice and education policy reform in the halls of Congress--all before she turned 35. 
Then, in one of the biggest wake-up calls of her life, Nona realized that her past battles were waging a present war. Though she tried to push away the memories, her childhood trauma continued to affect her emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically--until she made a pivotal decision. 
Success from the Inside Out charts the course of Nona's breakthrough--a course that can also lead you out of the storms of your past or present. Through her own remarkable story and insights, Nona helps you:Claim victory at the place where the defeat happenedRecognize ways you use work to cover up inward brokennessStill the voices in your head that say you aren't good enoughChoose fulfilling success instead of empty successMap your mile-markers toward your biggest goalsPush through brokenness into a breakthrough
