Book Description
In the high-octane world of motorcycle racing, Jett Maverick is a flamboyant racer known for his speed and charisma, living life in the fast lane. However, a sudden injury forces him to take a break from the track, leading him to accidentally wander into a city park, where he meets Sable Quinn—a shy, bookish girl who finds solace in her plants and the pages of her favorite novels. Their worlds collide in unexpected ways as Jett, desperate to impress Sable, attempts to embrace a quieter, more creative lifestyle. Sable, on the other hand, learns to step out of her comfort zone, finding joy in the adrenaline and excitement that Jett brings. Their connection blossoms amidst hilarious misadventures and tender moments, revealing a chemistry neither of them anticipated. However, as Jett prepares to return to racing, he grapples with the duality of his life—the thrill of the track and the responsibility he now feels toward those who care about him.

Book Description
Emulating the format of Raising a Modern-Day Princess, authors Doreen Hanna and Karen Whiting seek to help parents and grandparents cultivate strong relationships and encourage the spiritual formation in their daughters using examples, Bible teaching on the fruit of the Spirit, and a variety of creative activities that are based on Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). By implementing the ideas in this book, mothers (as well as fathers) will be equipped to understand and guide their daughters through each step of becoming His "princess." This will include perceiving a daughter's unique personality and gifts, refining her character through training and discipline, and modeling the attributes of a daughter of the King. This book is a follow-up to both Raising a Modern-Day Knight (by Robert Lewis) and Raising a Modern-Day Princess by Pam Farrel and Doreen Hanna. While the latter book is aimed at parents of girls ages 12 and up, this book focuses on building the Christian character of younger girls.

Book Description
Marriage is in crisis. The divorce rate is high and both men and women have gravitated to roles that are unstable, unhealthy and unnatural. The thing that we desire the most seems to give the most turmoil. How can it be that God created marriage as the foundational relationship for society and yet it is the most difficult of relationships? How is it that God said, It is not good for man to be alone, yet every time man and woman get together their union brings more smoke than fire? Is it the two becoming one that creates the problem or the choices we make in marriage? God has a wonderful plan for marriage that carefully blooms into a delightful union when you choose Him as your guide. Every woman who desires a marriage made in heaven will appreciate Adriennes honest, open and real approach to the difficult areas of marriage. She shares real life experiences that inspire, encourage and re-affirm the value of womanhood and the beauty of holy matrimony.

Book Description
By bringing four contemporary companioning narratives into dialogue with gospel descriptions of Jesus' encounters with people, this book demonstrates how wonderfully diverse interpersonal ministry--pastoral care, counselling, chaplaincy, mentoring, spiritual companioning, and spiritual direction--is active participation in his shepherding, healing, restorative, and guiding purposes. Jesus' invitation, as the true shepherd, master guide, and companion, is to embody and reflect his humble, life-giving, and restorative dynamic. With the essence of his way encapsulated in the words, "Come unto me" (Matt 11:28-30), and gospel accounts opening to us his person and his interpersonal dynamic, we are invited and gifted to offer to pilgrims profound respect as persons created in the likeness of God; the accompaniment of a gentle and humble heart; welcoming and sacred spaces; relational solidarity; creative and often non-directive entry points into the deeper rhythms and flows of their human experience (noting Jesus' use of metaphor, imagery, enlivened imagination, parable, paradox, wakefulness, and attentiveness to the everyday); and, the prayerful attentiveness that will guide them to find rest for their souls. The encouragement is to get on the road with this master guide-companion and experience his kingdom breaking through, in, and around the lives of pilgrims and their companions.

Book Description
It’s amazing to think that the first smile Jesus ever gave was in response to Mary’s smile. It must have been an extraordinary moment: her son was smiling at her, and it was God smiling at her too. This book looks at Mary, this extraordinary woman who is “the cause of our joy” because she brought us the greatest joy of all: Jesus. She was full of joy because she was full of gratitude, gladly acknowledging the fullness of grace that God had given her. Her deep joy overflowed when she visited her cousin Elizabeth: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit exults in God my Saviour”. But this Magnificat song wasn’t just a once-off song of praise: the reason it came to Mary’s lips so easily was because it was her usual way of praying. She constantly thanked God for the gifts he had given her. Whatever the circumstances, Mary had the deep inner conviction that “all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well” as Julian of Norwich was later to express it. Many of us seek joy outside of ourselves, in food and drink, or in riches and reputations. But Mary found an inner joy that came from encountering God, a joy that was immeasurably greater than any material joy. And by giving Mary a place in our hearts, we can find true joy in God as well.
