Summary

What is the price of freedom? 
 
Liliana Vela hates the term victim. She's not a victim, she's a fighter. Stubborn and strong with a quiet elegance, she's determined to take back her life after escaping the clutches of human traffickers. But she can't stay safely in America--unless the man who aided in her rescue is serious about his unconventional proposal to marry her. 
 
Meric Toledan was just stopping at a service station for a bottle of water. Instead, he becomes the key to Liliana's rescue. If he can keep his secrets hidden, his wealth and position afford him many resources to help her. But the mysterious buyer who funded her capture will not sit idly by while his prize is stolen from him.

    Jessica Chamberlain and her search-and-rescue dog, Luke, hunt for lost people in the Tidewater area of Virginia. But that's a side hustle: Jess's work as a private investigator pays the bills.

    How, over the course of five centuries, one particular god and one particular Christianity came to dominate late Roman imperial politics and piety 
     
     
     
    The ancient Mediterranean teemed with gods. For centuries, a practical religious pluralism prevailed. How, then, did one particular god come to dominate the politics and piety of the late Roman Empire? In Ancient Christianities, Paula Fredriksen traces the evolution of early Christianity—or rather, of early Christianities—through five centuries of Empire, mapping its pathways from the hills of Judea to the halls of Rome and Constantinople. 
     
     
     
    The New Testament, as we know it, represents only a small selection of the many gospels, letters, acts of apostles, and revelations that circulated before the establishment of the imperial church. It tells how the gospel passed from Jesus, to the apostles, thence to Paul. But by using our peripheral vision, by looking to noncanonical and paracanonical texts, by availing ourselves of information derived from papyri, inscriptions, and archaeology, we can see a different, richer, much less linear story emerging. Fredriksen brings together these many sources to reconstruct the lively interactions of pagans, Jews, and Christians, tracing the conversions of Christianity from an energetic form of Jewish messianism to an arm of the late Roman state.

    Witchcraft treatment is fundamentally predicated on the concept that everything in the universe is interconnected and that we are all a part of a larger whole. Because of our interconnectivity, we have access to the universe's energy and can use it to heal both ourselves and others. Witchcraft therapy also recognizes the importance of the natural world and the cycles of the seasons, the moon, and the sun in the practice of healing. 
    The idea of personal responsibility is one of the main principles of witchcraft therapy. Those who engage in witchcraft therapy are of the opinion that patients are ultimately responsible for their own well-being and have the ability to shape their own realities through their own actions. This implies that each person must actively participate in their own healing process and make an effort to change any limiting patterns and beliefs. 
    Witchcraft therapy also emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-love. Those who engage in the practice of witchcraft therapy adhere to the philosophy that before one can effectively heal others, they must first address their own health issues. This involves setting boundaries, caring for oneself, and participating in activities that encourage self-acceptance and self-love.

    The one thing she can't do is fall in love... at least not if she wants to save her sister. 
    Alejandra Loyola knows she’s going to die. If having information about her uncle and cousin’s illegal cattle rustling operation isn’t enough to get her killed, then snitching on them to the law will surely mean her death—and she’s snitched more than once. The only question is, will she be able to see her younger sister provided for before she dies? 
    When successful Austin lawyer Harrison Rutherford is called back to his home town of Twin Rivers, Texas, after his father falls ill, he finds himself inundated with the burdens of running a large shipping business. The one surprise waiting for him is Alejandra Loyola. The maid who works for him is quiet and sweet. Now if only she trusted him enough to tell him what leaves shadows under her eyes and a haunted look on her face… 
    But the longer Harrison stays in Twin Rivers, the more something seems amiss. Rustlers have been wreaking havoc on local ranchers for over a year, and Harrison is starting to wonder if the secrets Alejandra is carrying have more to do with his father and the rustlers than he wants to admit. 
    As the rustling ring become more dangerous, will Alejandra trust Harrison enough to tell him what she knows? Or will the rustlers prove powerful enough to destroy not just the ranches surrounding Twin Rivers, but any hope for a future between them? 
    From jagged mountains and green river valleys, to cattle ranches and vivid sunsets, Tomorrow’s Steadfast Prayer offers a powerful story about love, faith, and doing the right no matter the cost.
