Summary

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 in her poor Mexican village. But she can't stay safely over the border 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. Assessing the situation, he steps in to rescue Liliana from traffickers. If he can keep his secrets at bay, 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. 
 
Melissa Koslin throws you right into the middle of the action in this high-stakes thriller that poses the question: What is the price of freedom?

    Research-based strategies for Christian leaders to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha 
     
    In a world where young people are increasingly disconnected from traditional religious institutions and influenced by social media, church leaders face an urgent challenge: how to authentically engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in meaningful faith conversations. Faithful Futures offers a research-based lifeline with practical tools and strategies designed specifically for connecting with younger generations in today's rapidly changing cultural landscape. 
     
    This actionable resource provides church leaders with 
     
    ● research-based insights - fresh data on Gen Z and Gen Alpha faith patterns, digital behaviors, and cultural values; 
    ● practical ministry strategies - proven methods for building trust and fostering belonging; 
    ● digital-age tools - effective approaches for engaging youth who grew up online and think in micronarratives; 
    ● relationship-building frameworks - how to establish relational authority and create authentic connections with younger generations; and 
    ● ready-to-use resources - exercises, charts, tables, and discussion questions. 
     
    Traditional youth ministry approaches are often outdated and ineffective for digital natives who grew up online. Sociologist Josh Packard advocates a revolutionary approach that emphasizes relational authority, cultivates genuine belonging, and understands faith as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision. 
     
    Drawing on fresh data, innovative practices, and more than twenty years of sociological experience, this comprehensive guide equips religious leaders to understand and engage younger generations authentically. It translates complex concepts into practical strategies, addressing the unique cultural and digital landscapes of today's youth and offering new ways to resonate with their realities. 
     
    Whether you're a senior pastor, youth minister, church staff member, or volunteer leader, this book provides the research-backed tools you need to build meaningful relationships with Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

    One final cry of terror, and suddenly her world shifted violently, until a blinding collision scattered her mind and shook her bones. Then, the pain. The freezing water. And as all sensation drifted away, a hand reached for hers before all faded into darkness. . . .  
     
    In the midst of a fierce storm, a carriage carrying Sir John Mayfield, Lady Marianna Mayfield, and her lady's companion careens off a narrow cliff road, changing their fates forever. When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.  
     
    In this revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of Julie Klassen's acclaimed novel, a woman's startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England. 
     
    Lady Maybe is a clean Regency romance full of mystery, adventure, and a search for identity. This novel will delight fans of the amnesia trope, Julia Quinn, Jane Austen, and Mimi Matthews.
