Monsters aren't real. As reasonable adults, we know this. But we also know that, while fake, the monsters of fairy tales, movies, and Netflix series embody our very real fears. Large, powerful beings that hunt us in the dark make us feel small, weak, vulnerable. When characters in these stories run away, they temporarily feel safe, but it's not until the monster is faced head-on that the story can have a happy ending--and, more importantly, the hero can become all he or she was created to be. The same is true of the monsters of the spiritual life. The monsters of comparison (I am what others say about me), more (I am what I have), and success (I am what I do) are powerful enemies of a healthy spiritual life. But ignoring them solves nothing. Pastor and speaker Luke Norsworthy wants you to face your monsters, get to know them, and discover how they are inviting you into a deeper understanding of yourself and a more intimate connection with God. You'll never completely eradicate your fears, but if you befriend them, they can lead you into becoming God's intention for you.

Each of the 16 lighthearted designs reflects Anni's favourite things-relaxing at home, shopping, travelling, and of course, sewing. Her passion for hand stitching plays a fanciful role in most all the projects with her signature quirky embroidery designs. Among the projects are three charming quilts as well as a pillow, table runner, and other decorative accessories to warm your everyday surroundings. Whether you're running to the local mall or travelling abroad, Anni's handy bag, coin purse, and travel document holder will keep everything in its place. And every quilter can use Anni's delightful pincushion, needle book, and sewing case to keep his or her sewing accessories organised!
