Book Description
A young airman's careless one-night stand. A selfish lover bent on sabotage. A much needed wake-up call. And a growing awareness of the desire to find real, true love. It’s bad enough George wakes up with no memory of the night before, but when he sees a honeymoon photo on his lover’s nightstand then finds out she has ulterior motives for their union, only one thing echos through his mind: What was I thinking? Determined to avoid having his life turn out like a melodramatic daytime talk show episode, George must get serious about what he wants and how to prepare for it. Can we plan for destiny? And how do we know we’re doing it right, so that we don’t miss out on the very best things life has in store for us? This e-book original short story of approximately ten-thousand words is a prequel to the Ithaca Falls series. It can be read in a single sitting. Originally published as Love Becomes Us and When George Met Ali in the George Hartmann Series. About the Ithaca Falls series: The Ithaca Falls series chronicles the Hartmann and Davies families across time and space. This life-affirming story, anchored by the deep affection between George and Alessandra, reveals how the connections we share can ground us during even the most difficult times as we endeavor to learn what we're made of. Join the family you'll feel like you already know as, together, they explore the meaning of life beyond what lies on the surface and fight to keep each other safe. Buy Wait for Our Turn today for a pulse-pounding, emotional page turner that will keep you guessing. Praise for Wait for Our Turn: ★★★★★ "If you’ve read Tell Me I’m Safe, you know George can be somewhat insatiable, and we see here how one dalliance could have easily been his downfall and propel his life down a dark rabbit hole. Instead he inadvertently uses this experience to bring him closer to his destiny. A very well written story that allows us to spend a little more time with George while we await further adventures from the Hartmanns." ★★★★★ "I read this story after I had read Tell Me I’m Safe, the first novel in the Ithaca Falls series. I found it to be a well written, easy to read and fun introduction to George. It helped me to understand who he is and where he wants to go. It was a quick, enjoyable and convincing preview of the series hero!" ★★★★★ "What a beautiful prequel to the beautiful novel Tell Me I’m Safe! This little story is chock full of wisdom and love." ★★★★★ "Another good read. I like George has sowed his wild oats and now wants to change his life." ★★★★★ "It’s really nice to have a bit of a back story. Kelly has fleshed out the characters so they have more depth which helps the reader better engage with them." ★★★★★ "For anyone new to Kelly’s series, give this a try. This was a quick read - I read it during my first cup of coffee this morning. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised."

Book Description
This book helps you to reexamine your “waiting room” experience. The passages will reiterate you are worthy of God’s promises. It screams, you are a winner. You are a success. Mistakes are made, however; failure is not in your DNA. You are a child of an omnipotent God. You exude victory. It will leave you feeling you can conquer the world through the word of God and through the author’s journey of infertility. The question is, “Are you ready?” I sure hope so. If you aren’t, get ready; because you are next. It’s your turn. The wait is over. Isaiah 40:31 – But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

In this New York Times bestseller, Hollywood power couple DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good candidly share their courtship and marriage, and the key to their success—waiting. President/CEO of Franklin Entertainment and former Sony Pictures executive DeVon Franklin and award-winning actress Meagan Good have learned firsthand that some people must wait patiently for “the one” to come into their lives.

Faced with starting a new relationship and wanting to avoid potentially devastating pitfalls, DeVon and Meagan chose to do something almost unheard of in today’s society—abstain from sex until they were married.

Just. You. Wait.
Author: Tricia Lott Williford
Publisher: NavPress
ISBN: 1631467522
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Everybody waits. We wait for a spouse, wait for a baby, wait on our children, wait for our parents. We wait for clarity and direction. We wait on a job, a promotion, a new direction. We wait for hope, for healing, and for miracles. We wait on God. And when we misunderstand what waiting is about, we can get confused about what God is up to. Waiting is one of God’s favorite tools. He can do certain things in our hearts, our lives, and our relationships while we wait—things we cannot experience once we’ve opened the gift we have been waiting for. So just you wait, because everyone takes their turn in the waiting room. It’s a long and painful fact of life, but shortcuts and microwaves aren’t the answer. God is at work behind the scenes in invisible ways you can’t see . . . yet. Just you wait and see how ready you’ll be if you spend your waiting well. Because when your opportunity comes, you don’t want to spend more time on the bench. When you wait well, you can say, “Look out, world: I am getting ready to shine. Just you wait.” In these pages, Tricia discusses the joy hidden in the discipline of waiting, and the practices of believing God is for you and working on your behalf, even when the work of His hand is hard to find.
