Sinopsis

Two Sisters. One Single Event. A Family Changed Forever. 
 
At the turn of the twentieth century, sisters Emmy and Callie Bullock are living a privileged life as the only daughters of a wealthy Alabama cotton farmer when their well-ordered household gets turned upside down by the arrival of Lily McGee. Arrestingly beautiful, Lily quickly--and innocently--draws the wrong kind of attention. Meanwhile, Callie meets a man who offers her the freedom to abandon social constraints and discover her truest self. 
 
After Lily has a baby, Callie witnesses something she was never meant to see--or did she? Her memory is a haze, just an image in her mind of Emmy standing on a darkened riverbank and cradling Lily's missing baby girl. Only when the sisters are separated does the truth slowly come to light through their letters--including a revelation that will shape the rest of Callie's life. 
 
Bestselling author Valerie Fraser Luesse weaves a complex and suspenseful tale dripping with intrigue, romance, and Southern charm.

    The purpose of this short booklet is so that you don’t have to read the hundreds of great books available to find some simple answers to not so simple questions about Biblical issues. This is not meant to be an in-depth study, but rather a simple discussion on some of the most asked questions about Christianity. So, let’s spend some time discussing the triune God, the Bible which captures a portion of history – enough to provide a basis for belief in God, and lastly, Heaven and hell – real places of consequence.

    The Book of Enoch - Apocryphal...

    Enoch existed prior to the events surrounding the Great Flood and was son of Jared, father of the famously long-lived Methuselah and grandfather of Noah. 
    The Book of Enoch is considered a canonical Apocrypha and is said to have been written by Enoch himself, although this is disputed by some and many believe it was begun in the second century BC. The only thing that is known for certain is that fragments of the book date back to the 2nd century BC and that it was rediscovered as part of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1940’s and 1950’s. 
    The Book of Enoch: Apocryphal Book of Giants Fallen Angels, Watchers & Nephilim examines the writings of Enoch and the unique material on the origins of demons and Nephilim that he wrote about. It studies why some angels fell from heaven, why the Genesis flood was morally necessary and looks deeply into the prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah. 
    Perfect for students of biblical times but also written for general readership and those who have a passing interest in the book’s history and place within Christian thinking, The Book of Enoch makes complex texts more generally accessible to the average reader.

    The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
      
    Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
      
    Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
      
    Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
      
    The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
    If your vision for the future is 
    ·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
    ·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
    ·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
    then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.

    Journey through Lent with Best-Selling Author Paul David Tripp “During our forty days together, may your mourning increase so that your joy may deepen.”—Paul David Tripp Lent is a time in the yearly Christian calendar when we mourn our sin and let go of worldly things that keep our hearts from experiencing God more fully. But how do we reevaluate and recalibrate the values of our hearts to match those of our suffering Savior?  In this forty-day Lenten devotional, best-selling author Paul David Tripp invites us to set aside time from the busyness of our lives to focus on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. Each of the short readings encourages us to abide in the abundant joy found in Christ as we encounter the Savior more fully and follow him more faithfully during this Lenten season.
