Book Description
It’s a tale as old as time, finding that a goddess can change. Evangeline Lewis walked away from life as a goddess, but that doesn’t mean her powers are gone. Far from it. Her life on the road has been filled with chaos, adventure, and every bit of freedom she didn’t have in Surprise. She’s perfectly content, or so she tells herself. Until she finds out that someone is abducting those who can’t protect themselves. Suddenly, the life she left behind is standing in front of her, and Eva doesn’t have a choice but to return. Her investigation brings back those she abandoned, and the mistakes she made by leaving. Faced with her past, the future, and everything in between has never been more difficult. A world she’s never seen, and monsters she didn’t know existed stand in her way. While Olympus is still reeling from her return, an invisible monster is creating terror in Surprise. Eva must find her place in a world where she no longer belongs, rescue those who have been taken, and somehow manage not to fall apart.

Book Description
Already an internet phenomenon, these wise and insightful lessons by popular newspaper columnist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Regina Brett will make you see the possibilities in your life in a whole new way.

It became one of the most popular columns ever published in the newspaper, and since then the 50 lessons have been emailed to hundreds of thousands of people. Brett now takes the 50 lessons and expounds on them in essays that are deeply personal.

I Miss You When I Blink
Author: Mary Laura Philpott
Publisher: Atria Books
ISBN: 1982102810
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER A charmingly relatable and wise memoir-in-essays by acclaimed writer and bookseller Mary Laura Philpott, “the modern day reincarnation of…Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Laurie Colwin—all rolled into one” (The Washington Post), about what happened after she checked off all the boxes on a successful life’s to-do list and realized she might need to reinvent the list—and herself. Mary Laura Philpott thought she’d cracked the code: Always be right, and you’ll always be happy. But once she’d completed her life’s to-do list (job, spouse, house, babies—check!), she found that instead of feeling content and successful, she felt anxious. Lost. Stuck in a daily grind of overflowing calendars, grueling small talk, and sprawling traffic. She’d done everything “right” but still felt all wrong. What’s the worse failure, she wondered: smiling and staying the course, or blowing it all up and running away? And are those the only options? Taking on the conflicting pressures of modern adulthood, Philpott provides a “frank and funny look at what happens when, in the midst of a tidy life, there occur impossible-to-ignore tugs toward creativity, meaning, and the possibility of something more” (Southern Living). She offers up her own stories to show that identity crises don’t happen just once or only at midlife and reassures us that small, recurring personal re-inventions are both normal and necessary. Most of all, in this “warm embrace of a life lived imperfectly” (Esquire), Philpott shows that when you stop feeling satisfied with your life, you don’t have to burn it all down. You can call upon your many selves to figure out who you are, who you’re not, and where you belong. Who among us isn’t trying to do that? “Be forewarned that you’ll laugh out loud and cry, probably in the same essay. Philpott has a wonderful way of finding humor, even in darker moments. This is a book you’ll want to buy for yourself and every other woman you know” (Real Simple).

Author: Rev. Richard W. Ames
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN: 1639377085
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
God, Our Servant: The We Might Also Become Servants By: Rev. Richard W. Ames Many believe that we are the servants of God, but what if it were the other way around? After 40 years of teaching, visiting, and counseling Christians, Rev. Richard W. Ames knows that there are “gaps” in Biblical knowledge and the expression of that knowledge for many believers, gaps which have also existed in his own faith. God, Our Servant: That We Might Also Become Servants addresses many of these misconceptions and is geared toward helping those who have faith grow in their understanding of that faith. Take for example the phrase, “All the good people will be in hell, while all the bad people will be in heaven,” which is explored in greater detail within. Discover the position and attitude God assumes as he works with the sin of every human; He is the servant of the sinner, not his or her master.
