Book excerpt: In its heyday, Piney Peaks and its beloved Christmas house were made famous by Sleighbells under Starlight, a romantic holiday movie. Fifty years later, the small town is ready for a new love story. As a successful film liaison, Elisha Rowe has her heart set on one thing and one thing only: putting her hometown back on the map. So, when she gets the chance to secure the long-hoped-for sequel to Sleighbells under Starlight, a beloved holiday movie, she's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure everything goes smoothly. Unfortunately, that includes claiming to have already gotten permission to film at the historic Christmas house—permission she was very much denied by the gorgeous new owner. City boy Ves Hollins is only back in Piney Peaks long enough to sell the house he inherited from his great-aunt. The holidays have always been tough for Ves, and it's not any easier when he's distracted by memories of a Christmas long, long ago, and the irresistible charm of neighbor Elisha. He has no plans to put down roots or fall in love...even if Elisha unravels his hesitations like a bad Christmas sweater. There's no question the two are opposites in every way. Ves is undeniably frosty. Elisha is brimming with warmth. He doesn't do commitment. She never runs from a challenge. But as the two grow closer, they quickly realize that the growing spark between them may be just what the season calls for.

Book excerpt: How well do you really know your neighbors? Veteran serial killer Klaus Fischer is determined that his most recent murder will be his last, but like many retirements, this one isn’t sticking. No one has come close to suspecting he’s buried the victims on his quiet suburban California cul-de-sac property—but he’s feeling the urge to kill again, and this time he’s set his sights on a target dangerously close to home. Widowed Peg Jurgensen has lived on the cul-de-sac for the past fifteen years, and she’s ready to shed her doldrums and re-enter the world around her. And where better to start than with mothering the curious young teen Eliza van Damal, whose family just moved to the cul-de-sac in order to expose their daughter to a better life. Eliza, however, prefers to coerce the enigmatic hermit next door, Alex, into helping her pass math. Alex wishes the lot of them would disappear. The closer these misfits become, the more danger even the most ordinary conversations invite. As the body count rises, can these residents trust anyone hiding behind their doors on this street?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: Key West is the end of the world for some. A variety of people come to the island for an assortment of reasons.

The sun always shines, the people are always happy, there is no business talk and your worries simply drift away. Every day is a holiday and every meal is a feast.

Download or read book With the Sun in My Eyes written by Mikaya Heart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual book illustrates the life and wisdom of the Northwest healer and psychic, Char Sundust. Mikaya Heart was asked to write this book by Char, on the instructions of the spirits who are always at Char s side, offering invaluable advice. For two years, Mikaya followed Char around everywhere she went, re-visiting her childhood haunts and delving into her shamanic healing work. A skilled interviewer, she spent many hours with Char s family, friends, students and clients, gleaning in-depth information, then spinning this into a gripping narrative. Char was trained in Native American shamanic healing methods from the age of fifteen, and as a young adult she quickly began to heal others, radiating love and light. Now she does psychic readings to help people access the full potential of life; she does house blessings, which involve cleansing the energy of a space, removing stuck energy that might be manifesting in the form of ghosts, poltergeists, or simply unpleasant vibrations; and she does soul retrievals, which are about re-uniting an individual with parts of herself that she may have lost as a result of traumas on life s journey. Her greatest gift is being able to recognize and shift old, outmoded energy that is attached to people, things or places. Mikaya has been able to describe in detail the extraordinary healing that occurs in Char s work, with vivid concrete details of the different realms, entities, power animals, energies, archetypes and spirits that Char relates to on a daily basis. This is not only a delightful adventure story, it is also educational, chronicling in detail how healing of all kinds can be addressed on levels other than the physical. Char is a particularly gifted psychic, but all human beings can access a sense of the vastness of all-that-is, to a greater or lesser degree, and can choose to work with that sense, fine-tuning it to specifics. Everything that we see as solid was in the form of pure energy before it became visible to our physical eyes. This book explains, in clear detail, how one healer learned to work in the arena of energy to change what is being manifested. Others can follow in her path, or make their own. Even for those who choose not to be healers, the understanding that the world of physical form is only a tiny portion of what is occurring around us is profoundly life-enhancing. You cannot read this book without realizing that the potential of being human is huge, and the ability to choose joy lies within us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith Ford was a successful psychotherapist with a relatively new second marriage, a full-time clinical practice, and three children.

And it’s about how all of us live in the shadows of the unknown and the unanswerable.
