  When Theresa Marie discovered indiscretions on her husband’s phone, she was shocked. They were Christian co-ministers. They were foster parents. They were a good Christian family. What was he thinking!? 
  Over the next several years, she would uncover just how deeply the betrayal ran, and watch the unraveling of a lifetime of commitment and partnership as she faced gaslighting and abusive behaviors from the man she once knew. 
  In her debut book, Theresa Marie shares her personal testimony from an excruciating season in her life. In A Million Pieces, she is transparent about her initial responses to betrayal and trauma, the cycle of harm she willingly went on while hoping for restoration, and coming to the place of truly relying on God’s strength in her most vulnerable place. 
  Theresa exposes an epidemic in our society that has infiltrated the church, and the residual effects of pornography on marriages, families, and ministerial relationships. You will see there is victory in choosing forgiveness in order to allow healing to come. May you be encouraged to forgive and heal.

  Coming to Terms with John F Kennedy

  Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy offers a nuanced assessment of the thirty-fifth president, whose legacy and impact people continue to debate to this day. Stephen F. Knott examines Kennedy through the lens of five critical issues: his interpretation of presidential power, his approach to civil rights, and his foreign policy toward Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam. Knott also explores JFK's assassination and the evolving interpretations of his presidency, both highly politicized subject matters. What emerges is a president as complex as the author's shifting views about him. 
   
   
   
  The passage of sixty years, from working in the Kennedy Library to a career writing about the American presidency, has given Knott a broader view of Kennedy's presidency and allowed him to see how both the Left and the Right, and members of the Kennedy family, distorted JFK's record for their own purposes. 
   
   
   
  Despite the existence of over forty thousand books dealing with the man and his era, this book offers something new to say about this brief but important presidency. Knott contends that Kennedy's presidency, for better or for worse, mattered deeply and that whatever his personal flaws, Kennedy's lofty rhetoric appealed to what is best in America, without invoking the snarling nativism of his least illustrious successor, Donald Trump.

  As a five-year-old boy, Pao Lor joined thousands of Hmong who fled for their lives through the jungles of Laos in the aftermath of war. After a difficult and perilous journey that neither of his parents survived, he reached the safety of Thailand, but the young refugee boy’s challenges were only just beginning.Born in a small farming village, Pao was destined to be a Hmong clan leader, wedding negotiator, or shaman. But the course of his life changed dramatically in the 1970s, when the Hmong faced persecution for their role in helping US forces fighting communism in the region. After more than two years in Thai refugee camps, Pao and his surviving family members boarded the belly of an “iron eagle” bound for the United States, where he pictured a new life of comfort and happiness. Instead, Pao found himself navigating a frightening and unfamiliar world, adjusting to a string of new schools and living situations while struggling to fulfill the hopes his parents had once held for his future. Now in Modern Jungles, Pao Lor shares his inspiring coming-of-age tale about perseverance, grit, and hope.
