The Scars We Choose
Author: A. Lee Hughes
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category : Bildungsromans
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Scarlett Elizabeth Nell Waverly has a story to tell and it's as big as her name. Like most stories, hers is divided into interwoven parts. The first part starts when she's young and her family buys a beach house on the Florida Gulf Coast. That's where she meets and falls in love with Julian Rose, a handsome biracial boy with a scarred face and a whacky, secret-keeping family. Just like her own. But not quite. Young Lizzie Nell's family disapproves of her friendship and budding romance with Julian Rose and they take drastic measures at keeping them apart. Julian also has a story, a story as magical as his haint blue eyes, only he's still trying to figure out where it starts and how it ends. Not long after he turns nine and learns a little about his mother's disappearance, Julian sets out to write her messages, stuffing them inside empty rum bottles and tossing them into the Gulf. Although he doesn't yet know it, there is magic in his words, a magic as remarkable as his connection to the little girl down the beach. As time moves on, and the two blossom into adolescence, Lizzie Nell can no longer live the life her family has chosen for her. She runs away-from school, from her unrelenting mother, and even from her name-setting out for New Orleans where she and Julian have planned to make a life together. But some things have a way of finding us, like our scars, the truth, and despondent mothers. The first book in a two-part series, THE SCARS WE CHOOSE is a coming-of-age story about how we define love, the ways in which we cope when overcoming adversity, and the consequences that can arise when we allow other people, places, and events to affect our decisions, and ultimately, our happiness.

More Than My Scars

Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493434055
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The first thing you will notice when you meet Kechi Okwuchi is her scars. One of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than 100 people, 16-year-old Kechi was left with third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body. More Than My Scars is her incredible story. A story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside rather than seeing that our true value is within. Now in her early 30s, Kechi has spent the last 16 years refusing to be defined by her trauma. Follow her as she decides for herself what role her scars will play in her life before society decides for her. Her strong sense of identity, rooted in seeing herself the way God sees her, has allowed her to live authentically in a world that constantly seeks to define us by its ever-changing (and ever-shallow) standards. Kechi's story will inspire you to love and accept yourself as you are and confidently present your true self to the world.

Rich Wounds
Author: David Mathis
Publisher: The Good Book Company

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
