Book Description
One night can change everything. Abby Banks put her healthy, happy infant son to sleep, but when she awoke the next morning, she felt as though she was living a nightmare. Her son, Wyatt, was paralyzed. There was no fall, no accident, no warning. A rare autoimmune disease attacked his spinal cord, and there was no cure. In an instant, all her hopes and dreams for him were wiped away. The life she envisioned for her family was gone, and she was frozen by the fear of a future she never imagined. As she struggled to come to grips with her son’s devastating diagnosis and difficult rehabilitation, she found true hope in making a simple choice, a choice to love anyway—to love her son, the life she didn’t plan, and the God of hope, who is faithful even when the healing doesn’t come. In Love Him Anyway, Abby shares her family’s journey from heartbreak to triumph and reminds us that hope and joy can be found in life’s hardest places.

Book Description
Love breaks through defenses and destroys walls that divide us. Love demands more of you and me than we often want to give. It’s easy to love a lovely person, but what about...them? What about that stereotype, that race, that person or group of people in a political, cultural, or socioeconomic class who don’t behave like you, don’t believe like you, and if you are honest...make you uncomfortable? What is love in this context? We read that Jesus broke boundaries to love the people that many detested. His love was transformative because His love saw past disagreement, indifference, and offense. Loving them? Like this? That’s hard. If you consider yourself a Christian, then love should be your primary characteristic. But it seems that division defines us in our society where rage and anger abound. Today, many people see Christians as angry followers of God who are more interested in winning political arguments than loving people. If we say we follow Jesus but are not loving like Him, then what’s the point? There is a better way. Using the incredible story of how Pastor Choco chose to “love them anyway” to transform the crime-ridden community of Humboldt Park in Chicago, Love Them Anyway will inspire you to love in a way you never have. This book will pave a compelling path for you to both express and experience a truly transformative love on a deep level. It will tap into your deepest desires, expose your hesitations, connect you deeper with God’s love, and help you take bold steps to love the people around you—and your love will change lives. When you learn to Love Them Anyway, your passion will be redirected, your purpose will be refined, and you will see God use you in ways you could never have imagined. Love is hard. It’s not convenient, and it’s not always safe. But love is beautiful. Love is contagious. It breaks through defenses and destroys walls that divide us. Love is the answer. So, love them anyway. Redirect your passion, refine your purpose, and see God use you in ways you never imagined.

Book Description
If every Christian knew who they were as a child of God, if they knew their identity in Christ and how valuable they are just because they are His, and if all this went beyond head knowledge and into heart knowledge, just imagine the power in that understanding. Broken relationships could be mended, and families could work out their differences. Individuals held captive by their insecurities would experience freedom in their lives. I'll Love You Anyway, by author Lori Davis, seeks to help Christians experience the freedom of forgiving and letting go of the past. You can break down the walls of protection and be free to give and receive love the way God intended. You can learn to extend unconditional grace and love to others. Davis explains how to recognize that the people who hurt us may have also been hurt in life and that they too may be living with walls of protection around their hearts. If we can integrate the truth of who God says we are within our daily lives, we can come to experience a deeper relationship with the Lord. "Lori writes this book from the inside looking out. She lived this book and has a vantage point few are ever willing to talk about. Walk in her steps as you read and learn how to overcome anger, pain, and disappointment." -Pastor John Hunn, Immanuel Baptist Church

If you're like me, you might have tuned out or rejected the idea whenever you hear someone say "you have to love yourself" and you might even say to yourself, what the heck does that mean? Unfortunately, loving yourself can be so foreign of a concept and yet it might also be the very thing that changes your life... for the better in every way. Self-love--our capacity to feed our spirit, fill our 'love cup' and feel inner peace is endless-- we just need to tap into it. But how? How the heck do we create [or experience] inner happiness? That's what this book attempts to address.
