  Two wary souls get a second chance at love. If a killer doesn't find them first. 
   
   
   
  When a stalker turns to murder, pilot Kelli Spencer needs protection. What she doesn't need is her old love Jack Reese returning to stir things up, but the former Navy SEAL and his team of protection specialists are the best of the best. Trust him with her life? If she has to. Trust him with her heart? No way. The last time Jack left, he made it clear married life held no appeal. Ten years later, he wastes no time letting her know he hasn't changed. Not that she'd be fool enough to hope. As the commander of Knight Tactical, Jack jumps at the chance to protect Kelli and take down a killer, but as soon as she's safe, he plans to shake the dust of the small mountain town off his feet again . . . until he realizes he never should have left the first time. Can he convince Kelli to give him another chance, or will a devious killer destroy his plans for a happily ever after?

  Encouragement - The Supportive...

  Words have an undeniable power to shape our reality, influence our thoughts, and impact our emotional well-being. Every word we speak carries with it the potential to either lift someone up or bring them down. Whether we realize it or not, our words have the ability to build bridges, create connections, and offer encouragement. In the context of affirmation, words are tools of empowerment. When used intentionally and thoughtfully, they can become a source of strength, especially for those who are struggling. 
  The impact of affirmations extends far beyond simple compliments or casual praise. Words of affirmation have the capacity to change the way people see themselves, boosting their confidence and reinforcing their sense of worth. For many individuals, the difference between success and failure can often be traced back to the encouragement they receive from others. A kind word can motivate someone to keep going, to try again, or to believe in their abilities when they feel overwhelmed or defeated. 
  Research has shown that positive reinforcement—such as words of encouragement—activates the brain's reward system, releasing feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. This not only creates a sense of joy but also strengthens an individual’s belief in their own potential. In turn, this builds resilience and helps individuals navigate life's challenges with greater ease.

  Hope for Caregivers - A 42-Day...

  "Caregiving is the holy act of the literal laying of hands on another to help and to heal. It requires strength, courage, and commitment to serve another intimately with dignity, respect, and love. The giving of such care, however, gives the one who cares a glimpse into God's priceless kenotic gift to humanity. This beautiful and important devotional based on Nouwen's magnanimous wisdom offers encouragement to those entrusted with caregiving by reminding them that what they are doing plants roots in the eternal—even in the hidden or lonely recesses of servitude, caregivers are seen, they matter, and they are upheld by the right hand of God!" — Carolyn Weber, caregiver, professor of literature, and author of Surprised by Oxford
  Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love.
  Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

  What do the books of Luke and Acts teach us about God, Jesus, and the early church? How do these two books relate to each other? And what do they mean for us today? 
   
   
   
  In this accessible and compelling introduction, Michael Bird draws us into the wide-ranging narrative of Luke-Acts to discover how Luke frames the life of Jesus and of the first disciples who set out from Jerusalem to "the ends of the earth" proclaiming the Good News. Bird shows us how these two books, when read together, tell a cohesive narrative about Jesus, the Church, and the mission of God—with implications for the whole of our lives today. Situating both books in their historical and literary context, Bird moves through an exploration of their central theological themes and culminates with consideration of the books' relevance for contemporary social issues.
