Initially resistant to the idea of taking on the continual care of so many orphans, their Otino Waa Children's Village soon became home to hundreds of children. Bob's retelling of the origins of PATH Ministries shows that God can do extraordinary things through faithful service in difficult places.

  "Blood in the Water is a twisty true crime narrative of greed, suspicion, and revenge, taking us from the high seas to the mansion of an enormously wealthy family. Compelling and cinematic, it keeps you guessing about the complicated family at the heart of this saga until the very last page."—Shawn Cohen, New York Times bestselling author of College Girl, Missing 
    
  Troubled waters hide deadly secrets … 
    
  When Nathan Carman, a young man with a complicated past, is miraculously rescued from a lifeboat bobbing in the unforgiving North Atlantic, questions swirl about the fate of his mother, who is presumed to have drowned when their fishing boat sank. Nathan is in remarkably good shape for being lost at sea for a week, and his account of what exactly happened out there on the waves raises questions from family members and law enforcement. 
    
  Nathan's story of a fishing trip gone awry doesn't quite add up, and suspicion mounts. The mysterious murder of Nathan's multi-millionaire grandfather a few years before had made Nathan's mother an extremely wealthy woman. With a seven-million-dollar fortune at stake, did Nathan commit the ultimate betrayal? Or is there more to this tragic tale than meets the eye? 
    
  From New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman comes a gripping contemporary true crime narrative for everyone who was fascinated by the Murdaugh murders, and for anyone compelled by the intersection between money, power, and family.

  Of Galbraith's classic examination of the 1929 financial collapse, the Atlantic Monthly said:""Economic writings are seldom notable for their entertainment value, but this book is. Galbraith's prose has grace and wit, and he distills a good deal of sardonic fun from the whopping errors of the nation's oracles and the wondrous antics of the financial community."" Now, with the stock market riding historic highs, the celebrated economist returns with new insights on the legacy of our past and the consequences of blind optimism and power plays within the financial community.

  Forgiveness - Healing the Wounds...

  Forgiveness is often seen as a personal choice—a decision to let go of past hurts and allow ourselves to heal. At its core, it is the process of releasing resentment, anger, or thoughts of revenge toward someone who has wronged us. While it may seem like an act of kindness directed at others, true forgiveness is, in fact, a gift we give ourselves. By forgiving, we free ourselves from the emotional and mental weight of holding onto painful experiences. 
  It is important to recognize that forgiveness is not the same as excusing the harmful behavior. It doesn’t mean that the hurtful actions are acceptable or that we should forget about the wrongs done to us. Forgiveness is not a dismissal of pain; rather, it is a conscious choice to stop allowing that pain to control our lives. When we forgive, we are not condoning the actions of others, but instead, we are choosing to release the grip that the negative emotions tied to those actions have on us. 
  The power of forgiveness lies in its ability to release us from the shackles of negative emotions. Holding onto anger, resentment, or hurt can poison our well-being and cloud our perception of life. By forgiving, we begin the healing process, allowing ourselves to move forward rather than remain stuck in the past. Forgiveness also creates space for growth, both personally and in our relationships with others. It opens up the possibility for renewed connections and understanding.
