Book Description
If he had only answered that last phone call from the World Trade Center . . . Minutes before two jumbo jets changed U.S. history, New York police officer Austin Finley ignored the call from his brother, who’d been bugging him for days. Trying to live with his one regret causes hatred and bitterness to consume Austin, and when counselor Mercy Samara recommends desk duty, Austin resigns. Haunted by her own memories of 9/11, Mercy takes a job as a school counselor in Baltimore. When Austin, now an EMT, responds to an emergency at Mercy’s school, both are stunned and wary. Finally their common—and painful—memories turn suspicion into friendship, then romance. But hard questions linger: Can they truly move beyond their past harsh judgments and harsh words? Will their past finally bring them closer or—as the tenth anniversary of 9/11 draws near—drive them farther apart? "Loree Lough proves once again her superb storytelling skills in From Ashes to Honor, peopled by characters so lifelike they seem to jump from the pages." —Cathy Bryant, author of the award-winning Texas Roads and A Path Less Traveled "Loree Lough’s characters allow us to re-explore what happened ten years ago and examine our feelings, perhaps like never before." —Rev. Robert A. Crutchfield, Founder, Christ 4responders and Chaplain, Katy, Texas Fire & EMS

He partners with volunteer and inner-city school teacher Grace Sinclair, and what they find bonds them in ways neither could have expected. As they begin to build their lives together, a visitor from the past causes Dusty and Grace to further open their hearts and home. But a threat is looming on their seemingly perfect lives and in one terrifying night, everything changes.

After two years as a couple, shifters Luke and Elisa are ready to move their relationship forward by becoming engaged. But their joy is cut short when Elisa's husband pops up, not dead and furious at her betrayal. Left with no choice, Elisa must at last petition for entry into the Phoenix shifter community and ask for their protection, which puts her on a collision course with the militant shifters she fears. Now, along with Luke and their friends Ravi and Erica, she must take on a community in turmoil, or they’ll all have to leave their home forever... but where could four disgraced shifters go?

Book Description
In From Ashes To Glory, Ramin Parsa, a former devout Muslim describes his supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ that consequently led to his dramatic conversion from Islam to Christianity after he learned that Jesus Christ died for him on the Cross, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. Ramin describes life under rigid Islamic sharia law in Iran which he once thought was the way to Allah. Until he became a victim of the unjust Islamic law himself which devastated his life. That caused him to investigate Islam more closely which resulted in discovering devastating truth about Islam that caused him to reject and abandon Islam entirely. Leaving Islam was not easy for Ramin because his entire life he endeavored to please Allah through keeping harsh Islamic laws and rituals. Although Ramin left Islam, but he couldnt ignore the fact that there is a God. His hunger for truth sat him on an exciting journey that led him to find the only true and living God whom he never knew but was desperately seeking. In this engaging and thought provoking book, with depth and clarity, Ramin compares Islam vs. Christianity and their respective impacts on the world around us. This book reminds us to take heart because the simple but powerful message of the Gospel is healing and transforming the lives of people everywhere including the Muslim world. In this book you will learn about Ramins story, his dramatic escape from Iran, living as a refugee. You will also learn about the rise and fall of Ancient Persia, the birth of Islam and its dark History, the truth about the Islamic sharia law, Islamic Jihad and the plan of Islam for the West.

I could see myself in several of the scenariospainful to recall. How in the world could any of us get ourselves into such sad and often brutal situations? Reading your book was like being in the midst of a motion picture. You captured so much pain. Thanks so much for touching my life - however briefly. May God protect you as you start your new journey. Stay free and HAPPY! Pauline M. Two weeks ago at our Saturday School in Soweto, we read one of the stories in the book about Lois and Brian. It really struck a familiar cord with our 50 high school students. After reading the short story, it was a great vehicle to talk about abuse. Again, thank you. Your book is helping many young lives here in Soweto, South Africa. Stay blessed Jose B.
