  Some harvests are measured in bushels. Others in grace. 
  When burned-out city nurse Abby Keller returns to her family's failing apple orchard for one last try at saving it, she isn't expecting to find steady, quietly faithful Noah Talbot running the rows. He's the orchard manager who stayed when she left, the man who believes in pruning back to make room for new growth, and the one person whose calm presence unsettles her hurried heart. With the first frost closing in, a bank note coming due, and a harvest festival that could make or break the season, Abby and Noah must work side by side from dawn pickings to candlelit church suppers—rediscovering community, courage, and the gentle ways God heals what we hand Him. 
  As windstorms shake loose more than apples, old mistakes surface and tender hopes take root. Abby will have to choose between the life she built in the city and the legacy that calls her home. And Noah must decide whether protecting his heart is worth missing the future he's been praying for. In the hush between falling leaves and whispered prayers, two guarded souls learn that love, like an orchard, thrives when tended with patience and light. 
  This clean & wholesome Christian romance offers a slow-burn love story, heartfelt family themes, and a faith thread that feels like coming home—no profanity and no explicit content, just warmth, hope, and a satisfying happily-ever-after. Perfect for readers who crave small-town charm, second chances, and the reassurance that God brings beauty from every season.

  As the first Black woman to anchor the Boston-area evening news, Liz Walker found herself in an industry that defined the neighborhood of Roxbury largely by violence. But when she became a pastor there, Walker grew close to households marked not only by trauma but by courage—including the family of Cory Johnson, a young father who was murdered. In the wake of their worst nightmare, the family reached out for help. 
   
   
   
  As Walker's congregation invited neighbors to gather, they created soft spaces for others' grief to land. There, in the stories told, the meals shared, the tears shed, and the silences kept, people found a space to receive their sorrow. Out of this ministry grew a grassroots trauma-healing program, one now being replicated across the country. 
   
   
   
  Through this groundbreaking book, begin to imagine what story-sharing groups might look like in your context. Face the disparity of grief that comes from racism and systemic inequality, and learn to confront legacies of harm. Discover the healing power of listening, as well as the art and skills of accompanying someone in pain. Further, grasp how caregivers, pastors, counselors, and other healers—many with their own wounds—can benefit from soft spaces too.

  The Sexual Reformation -...

  What does it mean to be a woman or a man created in the image of God? 
  Many Christians don't have a good grasp of what their sexuality means. Many women in the church don't feel like their contributions matter. 
  Why is this? 
  The church is sadly still confused about what it means to be a man or a woman. While secular society talks about sexuality in terms of liberation, many in the church define manhood and womanhood in terms of reductive roles that rob us of the dignity of personhood, created in the image of God. 
  In her poetic, theologically contemplative style, Aimee Byrd invites you to enter the rich treasure trove of the Song of Songs as its lyrics reveal how our very bodies are visible signs that tell us something about our God. This often-ignored biblical book has much to teach us about Christ, his church, man, and woman. And what it teaches us is not a list of roles and hierarchy. It is a love song. 
  As it unfolds throughout the canon of Scripture, the meaning of our sexuality extends beyond biology, nature, and culture to give us a glimpse of what is to come. This meaningfulness reinforces our discipleship as we participate in the eschatological song. 
  In The Sexual Reformation, you will discover the beautiful message that our bodies—and our whole selves—are part of the greater story in which Christ received the gift of his bride, the church. Within the context of that story, you'll rediscover your sexuality as a gift. 
  Discussion questions and language comparisons are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
