In 1975 Carolyn Proctor underwent a routine surgery in an Atlanta hospital. The day before she was to return home, she was sitting up in bed, catching up on office work, chatting with her sister who had come to visit, and talking to her mother, Julia, on the phone. A few hours later, Carolyn began to hemorrhage; although doctors operated to stop the bleeding that evening, they were unable to wake her afterward. Carolyn had slipped into a coma, and scans showed very little brain activity. Waiting for their mother to come home were five-year-old Jody and his sister, Becky. Carolyn, Julia, Jody, and Becky didnt know it yet, but their lives had changed forever.After months in limbo, Jody and Becky were still asking for their mother, and their grandmother was advised to tell them that Carolyn had died. After all, it was only a matter of time until the inevitable end came. Julia refused, and took Jody to see Carolyn in the hospital. What happened next marked the beginning of Carolyns journey back to her family.Told by Jody, this is a remarkable story of how God works through loved ones to accomplish his will for us. If you have ever wondered how to make sense of tragedy or difficult circumstances, this will inspire you to discover Gods purpose behind it all. And if you have ever wanted to give up on the power of hope and love, be ready to have your faith renewed.

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. This verse from Proverbs begins a powerful passage of Scripture that was written as a guide to finding a wife. The words were written centuries ago when the world was very different, and at first glance, they may not appear to have any relevance for todays busy wife and mother. Or do they? Uniquely Woman tells of the journey of Leah, a young woman engaged to Benjamin, as she learns what it means to be a godly wife and mother through every season of her life. Cathy McBride follows each step of Leahs story with a detailed analysis of each verse, including meanings of key words that will deepen your understanding and help you examine your own role as a woman of God. Youll learn about your husbands four areas of need and how God intends for a wife to meet those needs. Youll learn even more from the books lessons and questions, whether by yourself or in a study group. Todays media is full of confusing images and advice for women, much of which goes against Gods design. In Proverbs, by contrast, Gods picture of women is one of freedom, strength, beauty, and contentment. Well suited for group study, Uniquely Woman can help women of any age follow his plan for a God-centered marriage and home.

Gaunt and hollow-eyed, Jack had passed the limits of his endurance. There, lost in a fierce storm on a mountain far from home, for the second time since Utah had died, he prayed. His prayer was one of desperation- God, do what you will with me, but please get this horse off the mountain His voice held no power though, and the howling of the winds rose to a shriek, blowing his words back in his face, as though the very mountains themselves took voice in the elements to taunt and mock him. Once There Was a Cowboy gives us all pause to reconsider the brutal storms of our own lives and to take heart that perhaps the very God of the universe loves us enough to destroy the very things we cherish that we might come to Him- ravaged but cleansed, broken but uncompromised. Sifted.

It is my belief that this work is one of few things, for which Christ will reward as a faithful act, and the knowledge that I may be of service to him in the furtherance of the kingdom compels and, yes, propels me onward down this dusty road.
