Book Description
Take a look around. People are suffering everywhere; the effects of sin is undeniable. Women and men alike are hurting, lost, broken, and desperate for a solution to what seems to be a hopeless situation in their lives. Life will knock you down and keep on beating you until you have nothing left but perhaps a tiny fragment of hope. You may feel like you have been defeated, deeply wounded, and scarred by those closest to you. Maybe you even feel that there is no reason to go on living. Do any of these sound like you? You may feel as if you are all alone, stuck in an endless cycle, with no way to escape the chaos and darkness of this corrupt and fallen world. What if there was a way, would you want to know?Take a look into this woman's testimony to see how she was saved from rejection, depression, worthlessness, addiction, betrayal, physical and sexual abuse, and even suicide. Witness the courage and strength God gave her to not only get through the most painful and agonizing time of her life, but to come out victorious on the other side, as she surrendered her life wholeheartedly to Him. Through her story, experience the goodness of our God as He transformed this shattered woman and gave her peace, a renewed passion for life, healed her heart, and made her whole through Jesus Christ. Learn that our God is good, faithful, and full of grace, mercy, and compassion. Know that God will do the same for you if you will just accept Him and let Him into your heart. There is only one question to ask yourself: Are you ready to make the choice, to step out of the darkness and into His magnificent light?

Book Description
Where do you turn when your worst nightmare comes true? Imagine one moment you're heading on vacation and the next moment you're on the phone with a police detective from the Crime Scene Unit. Then, envision hanging on to the other end of that phone for 90 minutes waiting to find out if the person who was found dead in a hotel room is your child. This is what happened to Pat Elsberry and her family. "Beautifully Broken: Finding Hope During Loss" is vulnerable and heart wrenching, as it shares Pat Elsberry's walk through grief and tragedy. She delivers her story with grit and grace as she tells us how Substance Use Disorder came to be a part of her family's life. Pat's daughter, Melanie, died from an accidental drug overdose in February 2020. She was only 38 years old and left behind a lifetime of unfulfilled hopes and dreams. No goodbye. No last hug. Melanie was a beautiful, but broken girl who struggled with the disease of Substance Use Disorder. How did she get here? Isn't this something that happens to other people? Who do you turn to during this sad, lonely, and oftentimes anxiety-ridden journey called grief? Pat's reliance on her faith touches us is in a very real and palpable way as she gives her heart a voice. We see that she didn't just pull her faith out of the air when tragedy hit. She helps us see that death is hard and the grief journey is one of the toughest roads we travel in life. Yet, living a life full of faithful trust is what brings us through the valley of the shadow of death.

Book Description
We live in a broken world. Amid the daily realities of sickness and isolation, disappointment and pain, it can be profoundly difficult to grasp the real goodness of God. But this is where God breaks into our darkness with beauty. In the wonder of creation, in art or film, story or song, in the kindness of his people and the good they create, God breaks into our pain in a tangible way, teaching us to trust his kindness and hope for his healing. Beauty is a voice singing into our suffering, beckoning us toward restoration. In This Beautiful Truth, Sarah Clarkson shares her own encounters with beauty in the midst of her decade-long struggle with mental illness, depression, and doubt. In a voice both vulnerable and reflective, she paints a compelling picture of the God who reaches out to us in a real and powerful way through the "taste and see" goodness of what he has made and what he continues to create amid our darkness. "To recognize and trust God's gift in pain," she writes, "empowers us to create and love as powerful witnesses to God's healing love in a hopeless world." If you want to renew your capacity to recognize and encounter God's beauty in your life, this hope-filled book will show you the way.

Piper Most people don't think about the day they'll die. They coast through life, blissfully unaware of how their time is ticking away. I wasn't like most people. I welcomed death and wanted her to take me away from the prison I called life, but she refused. I tried twice only to survive. And then, when I thought I had nothing left it came. A reason to live. Rex was a small, unexpected ray of light my world of darkness that blossomed into a beam of sunshine. I thought, maybe this was why Death didn't take me. Maybe she knew that if I held on a little longer things would turn around. But the third time Death came to my door wasn't by choice. Someone else brought her, and I fear this time she might take me. Rex Being the son of a country star sucks. My parents are never around, I move every year or so, and I have no real friends. Everyone around me has an agenda. Everyone except Piper Lovelace. I can't get that girl to notice me. Trust me I've tried. Thankfully, fate stepped in and gave me the break I needed. I've got her attention, now I need her to give me a chance.
