Book Description
From the award-winning creator of Roseanne, Home Improvement, and several blockbuster films, comes Glimpses, a collection of stories filled with hope, humanity, and humor and an invitation to see goodness and grace in our everyday moments. Matt Williams never focused on red carpets and glitzy parties during his successful Hollywood career—writer/producer of The Cosby Show and A Different World, creator of Roseanne and Home Improvement, producer of successful movies and plays. Looking back, Williams realized that throughout his life what sustained him, guided him, and inspired him were divine glimpses of goodness and grace. Williams says, “When I started my quest to find little glimpses of God in everyday life, the clouds didn’t open, and a voice like rolling thunder didn’t call down to me. But I did start noticing simple acts of kindness, moments of grace that reflected God’s loving presence in the world. . . . This practice of noticing these glimpses changed my life. Instead of blasting my way through the week—competing, hurrying and scurrying, fighting for my personal space, my self-care, and my ego-based impulses—I started consciously looking for God’s goodness. And I found it everywhere.” From a stranger in a casting office predicting Matt would succeed at a time when he felt like giving up, to deciding to work with Tim Allen after vowing not to work with another comedian after Roseanne, to learning what love really meant after “Spirit” told him he would marry Angelina—Williams realized that these “glimpses of God” have served as the loving, quiet providence that watched over him. Our job, then, is to pay attention to our lives. Regardless of your beliefs, Glimpses will inspire you to look for and find God in your daily life.

Book Description
Looking for a sweet countryside escape? Leave the real world behind and slip into someplace a little more comfortable in Catoctin Creek. Delight in three sweet romances in these interconnected novels, filled with characters you'll love getting to know better in each book! This close-knit farming community is ready to welcome you. Get some fried chicken with a side of gossip at the Blue Plate Diner, stop by Rosemary's Notch Gap Farm to meet the horses of her equine sanctuary, and take in an exciting horse show at Elmwood Equestrian Center! Each novel includes a happily-ever-after finish and features the return of characters from previous books! Sunset at Catoctin Creek Meet Rosemary and Stephen: a country mouse and a city boy who can't help falling in love. They're ready to pursue their romance at (almost) any cost. But when Stephen's plans for the farm neighboring Rosemary's property interfere with her farm's serenity, she has to put her foot down. What's an investor with no other prospects to do? Stephen will stop at nothing to find a way to keep Rosemary's heart and happiness intact. Snowfall at Catoctin Creek Kevin McRae's high-stress job and city life have him at his absolute limit. Nikki Mercer is dreaming of better things than the diner she inherited from her aunt. Ever since he visited Catoctin Creek with Stephen, Kevin has been dreaming of the country life -- and Nikki's fiery charm. He's ready to leap into a new life, and take her with him. But Nikki doesn't believe her little town is ready for the change she wants, and she's not sure Kevin is prepared for country life, either. Kevin can't help but think it's up to him to spur Nikki towards claiming her dreams. Naturally, Nikki thinks that's pretty presumptuous of him -- but kind and thoughtful, too . . . Springtime at Catoctin Creek Sean Casey is the worst, and Nadine doesn't care who knows her feelings on the matter. The worst coworker, the worst riding instructor, the worst, in general. She's finally found a job in her hometown, and she's not willing to risk her position at Elmwood Equestrian Center by giving Sean a single inch of ground. But when they are pushed into working on the upcoming horse show together, Nadine finds that there's more to Sean than his expensive riding clothes and lazy demeanor. A lot more, actually. Christmas at Catoctin Creek As the holidays approach, the little town of Catoctin Creek is rocked by two surprises: a missing hiker in the Catoctin Mountains making headlines, and the appearance of twelve horses who need sanctuary at Rosemary's rescue farm. As the town rallies to help Rosemary, a reporter arrives in town seeking answers in the missing hiker's case -- and captivates the town's newly returned prodigal son. Catching up with Catoctin Creek this Christmas will be full of surprises, a hint of mystery, and a lot of the love which makes this town so special! Enjoy these sweet, small town romances one after another with this collection! For fans of small town and cowboy romance, including authors such as Nora Roberts, Elana Johnson, Robyn Carr, Susan Mallery, or Sherryl Woods. For fans of books including equestrian themes, horses, horseback riding, horse rescue, country life, clean and wholesome romance, and country romance.
