Book Description
Here is a "how to disciple" book that shows, clearly and practically, how Christians can forge meaningful relations with other members of God's family. It is also a heartfelt "why to" book—a powerful call for a spirit of unity and love within the body of Christ. Drawing on years of experience in churches and small groups, Anne Ortlund offers valuble specifics on: - Forming small "spiritual family" groups that rejoice, suffer, pray, encourage, confess, forgive, and communicate with one another; - combining the "ingredients" of small group gatherings—worship, Bible study, sharing, prayer, and accountability; - Solving problems in the home by applying principles used in learning to function as a spiritual family; - Understanding the discipling process ("You must be continually learning from someone who knows more than you do, and then you must be continually passing on what you know to someone who knows less"); - Practicing the "new commandment" (John 13:34, 35) that translates into authentic, biblical, "tough" love for one another. Only a most blasé reader could get through this book without becoming genuinely excited. The author's enthusiasm for the church is expressed so cleverly, so persuasively, that it is bound to be contagious. Includes sample small-group curricula for discipling men and women.

Book Description
One ex-black ops Marine. One stubborn single mom. And a stalker planning to teach her a lesson.After ending his stint with the Marine corps, Jim Donovan dialed back his alpha attitude and befriended military widow Sally Johnston. That was three years ago. Now the new partner in Jim’s veterinary clinic is hitting on Sally, and there’s an unknown stalker on her tail. Following his own code of honor, Jim must protect the woman he loves, but won’t allow himself to chase her. She’s going to have to come to him. Sally doesn’t want protection or to fall in love. She'll consider a fling with Jim’s new colleague, but Jim himself is off the menu. Keeping his friendship is more important. And the anonymous messages? Sally won’t play that game. She’ll do what has worked for her in the past—ignore them until they stop. She and her son have made it fine so far. That isn’t going to change now. But from the woods behind her home, cold eyes watch Sally’s every move, and an unhinged mind plans vengeance for imagined sins. I previously published a steamy version of this story using my former pen name, Susan Craig. I have rewritten it as a closed-door romantic suspense. I like it better this way, and hope you will too!
