Life can sometimes lead us to unexpected places, to only leave us broken, desperate, and hurting. Heather Gillis and her husband, Mac, waited in anticipation for the birth of their third child. Like many Christian couples, their dreams and expectations in marriage, parenthood, and daily life developed differently than they'd planned, and left them grieving a life that would never be. Their journey gives insight into a new normal and uncovers the stepping stones of the healing process. In their process, they re-discovered God's abounding love through their experiences of joy, heartbreak, and purpose. Heather reaches out to parents around the globe to speak openly about being a wife, mother, friend, relative, or stranger during life-changing trials and devastating struggles. In God's love, she has found beauty in the midst of pain, as well as peace in His presence on Earth while waiting for heaven.

"Nothing Gold Can Stay "is a richly described reminiscence of childhood on an extended family farm in the late 1940s and in the 1950s. It is written in a beautifully lyrical style and told with disarming honesty. A unique history of one unforgettable place in time, it details a distinct way of life in an America that no longer exists. Thanks to author Gloria June Reed's clarity of memory to the smallest of details, Nothing Gold Can Stay will gift you with accounts of:
the fortitude and hardships of immigration as both sets of Reed's grandparents leave the Volga Valley in Russia and emigrate to America;
family strength and courage during World War II;
surviving the Great Blizzard of 1949;
the freedom to be a child and explore the wonder and fascination of the natural world;
the adventures and pranks of farm children in the long, golden summer days;
memories of a unique country school;
the significance of both past and place in forging a life.
The stories within Nothing Gold Can Stay are of America's golden age, when family and faith were strong, Judeo-Christian values and patriotism flourished, and America was both a manufacturing capital and a beacon of freedom for the world. It was a refreshingly innocent time. But nothing ever stays the same, and eventually the farm and its way of life are destroyed by affluence, greed, demographics, changing values, and the resultant assault of swift changes in the world.

This history of a bygone era and the people in it will engage and delight you. The richness of life on this farm will endure in your memory. You'll finish the book with the satisfaction of having read something of value that needed to be told.

In this newly revised and updated version of the original book, Brandon offers her most up-to-the-minute process work and teaching, which has been developed over the last seventeen years. A pioneering vision of an entirely new paradigm for healing, The Journey is a powerful, step-by-step means to find direct access to the soul, the infinite intelligence that is within us all.

In a prophetic vision, God showed me the evangelical churches of North America channeling all their spiritual energy into the works of their own hands, enshrining these works as a divine manifestation of God while living in rebellion to His word of truth. We have forsaken the mandate of the Azusa Street Revival and have been shutting the door more and more to all possibilities for any future revivals and awakenings in North America. If the church does not wake up from its spiritual slumber, all will soon be lost. The purpose of this book is to reveal to the body of Christ in North America and the rest of the world where we have gone wrong and how to turn back to God in much-needed repentance. It is my prayer that through this book, a new spirit of righteousness will be awakened in true believers everywhere and that they would be energized into a new mindset of desiring something authentic from God's Holy Spirit, no longer clinging to that which is religious and familiar. Lord let the evangelical churches of North America be set free from the entanglements of their own cultural and social bondages and allow the true love of Jesus Christ to reign in their hearts, churches, and communities. Let the real spirit of the Christ be their guide.

Amen.

Whether the topic is life or death, author Carol Quintana has a few answers. She knows what it is like to be dead for over sixty minutes. She lives today to tell her story. The Light is as so many describe it to be. It comes from a source. She was in the Light, and she shares the truth with you-her truth and His The Light is more than just the way. This Light teaches you about real love. Whether the topic is spiritual or supernatural, Quintana can explain the difference. If you believe in angels or demons, let her share with you her experience with both. Even if you don't know the Word of God, it is easy to understand. Quintana shares many examples from the Bible. This is good reading for those searching for answers to questions such as, "Is there a God?," "Does life go on after death?," "Do I have spiritual or supernatural angels with me?," or "Do my gifts come from God?" Your birth and your heritage is no mistake. The gifts God gave you at birth are yours to make the most of. Most of all, Quintana wants every reader to realize that God is good

Not a Failed Faith will enable the reader to understand that there's more to death than meets the eye, particularly after journeying through an extended period of time-fervent in prayer and strong in faith-for a loved one's healing.

Despite not seeing our expectations fulfilled, our faith was not destroyed or diminished. Rather, it proved to be resilient and continued to increase. God's goodness and grace are abundant.

The short story in chapter 8 will introduce the beautiful side of this tragic event to children who have lost loved ones. It will minister to adults as well.

The reader will be encouraged to open his/her heart to God's omniscience and sovereignty over any matter. He is worthy to be trusted.

God has been revealing to me that writing is an effective way for me to share my heart with Him; I feel encouraged to use it as a way to share his love and my faith in him with you. I have spent the majority of my life searching desperately for the missing piece to complete my life puzzle. The discovery of my life has been made....Jesus. From the bottom of my heart to the top of the highest mountain, I would like to proclaim to everyone who is alive, ?God loves you God wants to be close to you You are created for HIM He his waiting with open arms and unending love for you God forgives you We can approach God with confidence in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The idea of this book grew from a seed planted in my heart on November 9, 2012. While reading II Kings, God revealed to me an important role in my Christian life. God tells of King Hezekiah, who was aware of God's presence in past events, had a personal relationship with God via a powerful prayer life, and trusted in God's help for current events in his life. One thing he lacked was his concern for future generations. God convicted my heart that I was lacking this as well. Not sure what to do, I prayed that God would show me. A book. Since I will not be around forever to share my faith with future generations, I can share my faith through a book. This is the first and possibly the only book I will write; I will leave that up to God. This is a collection of prayers and writings regarding some truths God has revealed to me. An invitation to you...to draw near, speak to God about what is on your heart, then be still, and know that He is God. This is the sacrifice God wants from us. He wants us to share our heart with him and trust him and his word to guide our lives. Talk to God about anything you would a family member, best friend, co-worker, etc. God wants us to come to Him first.
