She's second-guessing her life choices. He's been widowed for over a decade. Will a case of mistaken identity bring two lonely souls together? As a Registered Nurse and Energy Medicine Practitioner, Pat Greene has spent her entire life in service to others. But when her BFF finds true love for the second time, she finds herself surprisingly envious. Has her call to service-which she will never regret-somehow caused her to miss out on something special? The loneliness she's kept at bay gnaws at her heart. While in Bandera, Texas she has a chance encounter with the one man she's ever truly loved and is shocked to then discover he's not the man she thought he was. The ache of loss still haunts Craig Harris a decade after his wife's death. Has his loyalty to her memory closed off his heart? Is he bound to an existence without the soul-deep joy he knows a woman's love can bring? Then he meets Pat Greene. Unprepared, he is bowled over by an instant, powerful spark of attraction-the kind he hasn't allowed himself to feel for years. There's no mistaking the allure the handsome cowboy holds for Pat, but the idea of giving up a lifetime of missionary work sets off a firestorm of doubt and indecision. Besides, Craig has children, grandchildren, and extended family members to think about. The fact she mistakes him for his brother, with whom she had a brief relationship decades ago, tempers the initial magnetism that draws Craig toward Pat, but the more they get to know one another, the more he wants her in his life. Will love be enough to tame the wanderlust in her soul and open his heart to the possibilities a future together might hold? Tempered Journey is a later-in-life romance that shows the power of love to heal the loneliest of hearts. This novel brings together characters from the Tempered series and My Heart Weeps. We catch up with Melena and Garrett as well as Mike, Trina, and the rest of the Harris/Hensley clan as we journey into love with Craig Harris and Pat Greene.

A mysterious apocryphal event transforms nearly everyone on Earth, shaping them according to their worst fears or their most profound beliefs. The streets become inundated with vampires, werewolves, spontaneously combusting humans, and other horrors-all while winged beings rise to the top of the new order, ready to exterminate anyone who threatens their faith. Circumstances propel two seemingly random strangers to the frontlines. Randy Thomas has an epiphany that inspires him to raise a fervent army of true believers. Alisha Brown finds herself the target of vengeful creatures, while random strangers begin to worship her in awe. Each has been touched by the hand of fate, and each believes they are humanity's last hope. But when the laws of reality no longer apply, and no one can trust even their own eyes, belief can become a funny thing... The Divine Darkness is the first installment of The Divine Darkness apocalyptic horror trilogy.

What has always been most perplexing to me about previous philosophers is their will to align this world with infinitude. They assign totality to everything and kill it in the same breath. Therefore, I deem the strata of ultimate perpetuation the strongest philosophical foundation-my utility," thought Andrew Fisk. These two works, A World of Synthesized Utility and The Seven Solitudes, posit that everything in this world has stood on its head. A World of Synthesized Utility presents Fisk's take on metaphysics that posits man as entirely consumed within the natural ebb and flow of the cosmos. He examines questions such as the nature of ideality, the existence of God, the burdens of freedom and their epistemological foundations using the critical and paradigmatic eye of utility, his notion that existence is a simple manifestation of potential and actual infinitude. Formulaic on paper while greatly applicable in practice, it attempts the reversal of virtually endless values and sets the scene for The Seven Solitudes. Featuring immense rhetoric, full scale attacks on democracy, liberty, and ideality, and introducing a new line of characters he believes ought to make their presence in this world soon, it supplements AWOSU effectively in that it offers prescriptive methods for controlling one's utility. A glowing, adventurous stance on metaphysics, any reader or student of philosophy, theology, and even the natural sciences will find these pieces essential.
