Book excerpt: A warm and witty invitation to coming into God's presence from a House of Prayer leader Jill Weber is on the adventure of saying yes to more of God--accepting His invitation to really live. This honest, warm, and compelling book speaks directly to those who long to deeply encounter Jesus, to know how to tune into the small movements of the heart, and to have trust in every moment of their lives. With wisdom and humor, Jill explores prayer, discernment, vocation, and leadership through her story of building and becoming a house of prayer. She offers encouragement that gives readers the confidence to agree to what God is already doing. Jill's story will build faith in readers and help them to discover the freedom that lies beyond that yes of giving it all for Jesus. Even the Sparrow is both an invitation and a challenge. To walk step-by-step as God leads may take us on paths that are messy, complicated, and inconvenient, but as we follow him, the way can also be unexpected and breathtakingly beautiful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Price of a Sparrow is the third of three books of reflections on the Holy Scripture, each a stand-alone book whose short chapters can be read randomly. There is no order; just let the Holy Spirit guide you to the chapter that you may need to read at that moment. Multiple references from the Book of Genesis through fourteen chapters of the Old Testament are followed by references to the gospels of the New Testament and sixteen chapters, concluding with the Book of Revelation. As in Thank the Holy Spirit and Blessed Are You Who Believe, the reader is invited to enter on an exciting journey into the Holy Scripture. As the reader, place your own lives into the reflections, and make each experience your own. Please be sure to read the referenced passages in the Holy Scripture, because the word of God inspired those texts. The author would be honored if you would then read the plain language reflections that he has put into the book. Understand, inspiration for these reflections came from the Holy Spirit through me, your writer, and are now given to you, the reader. Each of us is worth more than the price of a sparrow, yet not one of them falls to the ground without God's knowledge. How much more does God love each one of us!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But they were dead, and he still had a chance to live. It was years since he had gone from one great part to the next, but life had merely...shifted. Why couldn’t he accept this? He was an actor, plain and simple: “an abstract and brief chronicle of the time.” He had always done his job. By now he’d spent more time in Hollywood than in New York and had done more films than plays. Susan was right, he had been lucky, blessed even, to have had a chance to do the work he’d done. True, his life on the stage was gone, “melted into thin air,” and would never come back, the way of things and something to be faced. Whether he was in a play or film or soap opera or now a sitcom, he would just do the best he knew how. He was an actor, and an actor acts. As he looked out to the brilliant green sea and up to the sky he glowed with contentment that, somehow, he was able also to accommodate the melancholy that would always be part of him. A seagull glided by on the wind right in front of him, and he heard the voice of his first teacher, Doug Ramey, across the years: “The only thing that counts is the work. As with life, it’s a process, and nothing matters but the doing.”

There are two kinds of people on the planet. Hunters and prey I thought I would be safe after my mother died. I thought I could stop searching for new places to hide. But you can’t escape what you are, what you’ve always been. My name is Savannah Darcy Rose. And I am still prey. Though Savannah Rose—“Sparrow” to her friends and family—is a gifted ballerina, her real talent is keeping secrets. Schooled in silence by her long-dead mother, Sparrow has always believed that her lifelong creed—“I’m not the kind of girl who tells”—will make her just like everyone else: Normal. Happy. Safe. But in the aftermath of a brutal assault by her seemingly perfect boyfriend Tristan, Sparrow must finally find the courage to confront the ghosts of her past, or lose herself forever....
