  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Beautiful Ruins, by Jess Walter, tells the story of a chance encounter in 1962 between Pasquale Tursi, an Italian hotelier, and Dee Moray, a young American actress, in the small village of Porto Vergogna. This meeting sparks a lifelong longing in Pasquale, who then embarks on a quest decades later to find her. The narrative weaves together multiple storylines, shifting between 1960s Italy and contemporary Hollywood, exploring the lives of various characters connected by this single moment. 
    
  The book delves into the themes of love, regret, and the passage of time, as well as the power of stories and their ability to shape our lives. The characters grapple with their pasts, their choices, and the unexpected turns their lives have taken. The narrative contrasts the allure of fame and the quiet beauty of a simple life.

  An Honest Search for Personal and Collective Peace in Our Anxious Times 
   
  · Discover how to live well in a culture permeated with fear, worry, and anxiety 
  · Develop doable daily practices to promote peace both for yourself and in community 
  · Learn to face anxiety head-on rather than merely coping and compartmentalizing 
   
   
  Every era has its challenges, but ours seem to be majoring in anxiety. Bombarded (via screens) by constant global conflicts, rancorous politics, and church scandals, today we endure seemingly endless external stressors. The reasons are easy to find--division in politics and the pews, caring for kids or aging parents, and the rapid impact of social media on our psyches, to name a few. While exploring these origins may hold some benefit, Sara Billups is concerned with right now: How do we live well in the presence of pervasive personal and collective anxiety? 
   
  The dissonance between Jesus saying "Do not worry" and her heart's inability to stop worrying led Sara to seek out spiritual rhythms and practices that create a holistic, holy response to the anxiety brimming in our bodies, our churches, and our society. 
   
  Nervous Systems offers helpful, doable daily practices for anxiety in the large and small trials in our lives. This collection of personal and cultural observations invites us to let go in the presence of our anxiety. Join Sara in learning how, with God's help, to face anxiety head-on rather than trying to pray it away or, worse, grin and bear it.

  When Erica met John Baccus, it was the beginning of a love story that would span 41 unforgettable years-full of laughter, devotion, adventure, and quiet moments that stitched their souls together. Erica was the outgoing wife that wanted to travel the world and John was the supportive husband that never told her no. So when John was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and the choice came along, he asked Erica if she would help him end his life, and of course, her answer was yes. 
  In this deeply moving memoir, Erica Baccus invites readers into their intimate journey-through the beauty of their shared life, the heartbreak of decline, and the courageous choice John made to say goodbye on his own terms through assisted suicide. 
  A Promise Kept is more than a story of loss-it's a powerful testament to enduring love, dignity, and the strength it takes to honor a partner's final wish. With honesty and grace, Erica shows that even in the hardest moments, there is light, hope, and a different kind of happy ending. 
  This is their story.
