Disability is relentless. It affects every facet of life. Dreams of marriage rarely include wheelchairs, walkers, or medical equipment. Yet the oneness found in a marriage with disability presents a beautiful picture of the relationship between Jesus and His Church. This book engages the reality disability puts on the marriage relationship through the real-life, and often humorous, stories of couples living with disability. Readers will find they're not alone in their journey. They'll discover a framework to manage the challenges of disability and marriage. The book will inspire those who do not live with disability to embrace those around them who do. "I'm so grateful that Joan Borton has poured into this book her extraordinary insights on disability and marriage. My husband, Ken, and I have every confidence that Joan not only speaks from experience, but with true compassion as well as a solid grounding in the Word of God. Plus, she and her husband Jerry have a pretty amazing life together! This is a must-read!"-Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE HAYDEN'S HOME FOR SUNDAY DINNER Many, like Richard Spencer, have come before you and were never the same again. Delight in the joy, the sorrow, the challenges, and the ordinary with a family that somehow manages to love unconditionally. As you sit down to a feast prepared by Hannah Hayden, a prayer will be offered by Adam, known as "the Deacon." One son, four daughters, and a growing collection of grandchildren will welcome you, warm you, and make you feel right at home. It may look like bedlam, but it is life-together. Feel free to join them. You may never want to leave. EVE GEIGER is a teacher, counselor, and children and youth leader. She has spent most of her life in Texas surrounded by large extended family. This is her first novel, a creation of a place where any of her kin would gladly join in.

When out-of-control events threaten our world, it can quickly feel like a barren and lonely wilderness as we stumble in our steps. Our hope is for God to hear our cry for help and place us back on solid footing. We know God is a God of hope, healing, and restoration, but in the midst of our troubles, we may encounter what feels like a silent and passive God. Our desert then descends into a fog of gloom and confusion. We stagger about and our resolve to do the right thing is tested. We may not even know what the right thing is because our path is obscured. In the battle of our hurt and uncertainty we have a choice of either a path of hope or hopelessness-a journey of self or a faith-filled journey of the Father. In your uninvited journey, what path will you choose?

We all must ask crucial questions about our life here on earth. Am I experiencing life the way God, the Master Creator, designed my life to be lived? Or am I living a lesser, devolving life of my own choosing? We, God's ultimate creations, can only understand our purpose in life if we learn to see ourselves through the eyes of our Creator. This book provides practical steps on walking with the Holy Spirit. It will transform your soul if you follow the instructions.

I'd always wanted to help people, but my life felt pointless compared to the lives of people who were positively influencing the world. But giving my life to God and accepting His grace-filled forgiveness for my sins initiated the death of my self-centered desires. I found purpose in Him and the ending I needed for my story- transformation and new life. Reaching the end of myself, I decided I could help other hurting people if I told my story-the story of everyone who reaches the end of themselves and humbly comes to Jesus for new life. This is the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ. This book is dedicated to the fatherless and to those who have suffered or are currently suffering from domestic abuse. My prayer is two-fold: that these individuals find someone they can talk to, and that they realize their true identity and worth in Jesus Christ. Brandon Keane "I am delighted to encourage you to read Brandon's story! The First Thirty-Nine reads like a love story of God who pursued Brandon through his life's agonies. Anyone with past or present pain can find hope in Brandon's experience with the life-changing power of surrender to the glory and lordship of Jesus."Steve DeWitt, Senior Pastor, Bethel Church, Crown Point, Indiana, and author of Eyes Wide Open

Hosea is a touchingly beautiful book where we find words of life. It has been called "the second-most beautiful story in the Holy Bible," after the most beautiful story ever told, the history of Jesus Christ. In Hosea: A Commentary Dutch scholar Gert A. van de Weerd explores the message of this ancient book for modern readers.He says, "The biblical book of Hosea speaks of a passionate love relationship between God and the people of Israel, but also of the grief of God when this relationship is ruptured. It unlocks a surprising amount of information about future events. All these events (to the extent that they are fulfilled to date) seem so perfectly in keeping with history that God's hand becomes visible on every page of the book." Explore the secrets, surprises, and wisdom of Hosea along with your Dutch guide.
