Summary

“Inspiring, engrossing, and informative, this is a book for all people—whether or not they consider themselves artists.” —Tayari Jones, New York Times bestselling author   Maxine Clair, award-winning author of the critically acclaimed short story collection Rattlebone and the novel October Suite, has assembled a deeply inspirational yet practical book to help readers access their inner creativity. Imagine This is a beautifully written set of deeply personal stories from which Clair draws examples of how we can be aware of the now, keep ourselves motivated, and create work of which we are proud.  Imagine This explains how some of us consciously choose the vehicle through which we express our magnificence—be it business, art, science, or other—while others of us have dutifully plied a trade in arenas that society has suggested are worthwhile, with self-expression only fixed on a hobby. Both, Clair maintains, can contribute to a good life. Occasionally, however, a moment comes that is sufficiently insistent on deep examination. In that moment we float the possibility for expression of a greater self.  Imagine This shows readers how to be aware of these moments and how our inner creativity is always seeking an outlet. By combining captivating memoir with step-by-step advice, Clair helps us find and develop our own unique and personal creative outlets.   “A guidebook to fulfilling one’s aspirations and harnessing creative energy that seamlessly blends thorough practical advice with the vivid language and pathos of memoir.” —Houston Style Magazine

    Join the call of a just kitchen: where meal preparation is as much an act of resistance against injustice as marches and protests. 
     
     
     
    For food and faith writers and podcasters Derrick Weston and Anna Woofenden, The Just Kitchen is about a passion for food, sharing meals, showing hospitality, and understanding cultures, faith traditions, food histories, and local foodways. 
     
     
     
    Their authentic podcast conversations spill over the pages of this book and explore how the kitchen can be a place where the things we care about most in the world are reflected in the foods we prepare and the way we prepare them. In a world where disconnection from the earth, our food, our faith, and each other is becoming the norm, Weston and Woofenden bring together voices of hope who are working for a world of organic reconnections. They invite us to dig deeply into the complexity of ecology and food systems, as well as how faith communities are connected to them. 
     
     
     
    This is an invitation to reprioritize the kitchen as a space for healing, community, activism, and celebration. Be inspired to see the sacred in the daily mundane, forge connection with the people and earth around you, and join the call of a just kitchen.

    Through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, we are reminded that God remembers us and keeps His promises. Robert Morgan dives deep into Scripture around the birth of the Messiah and helps us discover the glorious, victorious life that awaits us in Christ. 
    The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth is often overlooked in the story of Christmas, as people jump right to Luke chapter 2, glossing over the importance of this elderly couple's story. The angel Gabriel announced to them that they would bear a son, John, who would prepare the way for the Lord Jesus. They were the original heroes, faithfully serving the Lord and studying His Hebrew Scriptures every day, when God burst into their lives and gave them the opportunity to set into motion the events triggering the first coming of Christ. 
    God has been planning something special for you for a long time! Maybe it feels as long as those 400 years between the Old and New Testaments, and you've grown weary of waiting for a Word from the Lord. Are you discouraged? Have you given up hope? As you examine closely the amazing story in Luke chapter 1, you will discover 24 God lessons that will impact your life, including howGod appointed you for this very time,God works grace into your grief,God wants to use you whatever your age,God can eradicate fear from your heart, andGod desire your help in raising up a new generation to serve him. 
      
    God intends to give you Spirit-filled life and a Christ-centered victory. He intends to use your preordained personality for His preordered purposes. Zechariah and Elizabeth want to tell us that God delights in sneaking up on His children with blessings unforeseen, with grace from above, so that we can experience a glorious, victorious life through Jesus.
