Springhill, Nova Scotia, a tiny town with a tremendously courageous spirit.
"This is one courageous book. In her bravest turn yet, Cheryl McKay dives into the storm-tossed depths of suffocating anxiety. This unflinchingly honest account is the personal hand of experience...guiding all who would read to still waters." -Susan Rohrer, author THE HOLY SPIRIT: Amazing Power for Everyday People From Cheryl's Journal: Why am I like this? What is wrong with me? Why am I so afraid? I can't control my anxiety; these fears seem to overtake me. Does anyone know how I feel? No one else has this problem. I am a freak, and I am alone. Where is God in this? Do fear and anxiety rule your life? They used to rule mine. This is the book I was too afraid to write and definitely too afraid to publish. That would mean others could read some of my most private thoughts, pieces of my most difficult and painful journey. Most of my life, I put on a good face, that "life is perfect" facade. It was a sham. Then I realized I had to face my problems, my past, and my fears if I ever wanted to live a normal, healthy life. In writing this book, I decided to join the imperfect human race. I wrote it because I needed to heal. Maybe you need to heal, too. Through writing about my story of panic, fear, and seemingly irrational anxieties, I uncovered so much about panic and anxiety disorders, coping techniques, causes of anxiety and fear, soul-searching activities to help unearth the root of anxiety problems, and methods that can bring about healing. After many years of stagnancy, I found hope. God walked me through every step to help me find ways to grow, heal, change, and climb out from under the relentless thumb of anxiety. I can honestly say I am now healed. Are you tired of fighting against your fears? Has panic interrupted your life? Has anxiety stopped you from going after your dreams? I encourage you to read my story and start your soul-searching journey now so you, too, can venture toward peace. * * * Finally Fearless: Journey from Panic to Peace is filled with practical advice, exercises, personal stories, and tangible ways for readers to participate in their healing. Also available: Finally Fearless Workbook for churches, book clubs, and individuals who'd like a hands-on approach to the exercises of this book.
A Writing Guide for Screenwriters and Authors Are you an author who wants to explore the business of adapting screenplays into novels? Are you a screenwriter who'd like to see your unproduced script written as a novel, to help get your film made? Are you a screenwriter who wants to adapt your own script into a novel? This book is for you. Novelizations used to pump business for existing movies and TV shows, but now a fast-growing trend has publishers contracting authors to pen novel adaptations based on scripts that haven't been produced-yet. At least until the novel raises awareness about the script and gives it a life of its own. It's a win-win for all creative writers. If you are a novelist, you can benefit from learning the craft of adapting scripts into books. You may just end up penning a novelization that will one day be a film. There is an art to this form of adaptation that may differ from starting a novel from scratch. If you're a screenwriter who is sitting on a gem of a script, what are you waiting for? We'll give you tips on how to team up with a novelist. Or you, too, can learn to adapt your screenplay as a novel. Just like screenwriting, there's a craft to be honed. With the whole story and characters of that script already in place, you're half way there. Want to learn the trade secrets of this burgeoning business? Look no further. Using specific, side-by-side examples that compare script pages to novel pages, writing team Cheryl McKay (the screenwriter) and Rene Gutteridge (the novelist) share their experiences, tips, and know-how on adapting scripts into novels. Covering everything from creative technique to collaborative contracts, Novelizations: How to Adapt Scripts into Novels is an invaluable tool for both screenwriters and novelists to successfully master this highly specialized art form. * * * RENE GUTTERIDGE is the one of the go-to authors for novelizations. She has written Old Fashioned, Heart of the Country, and Just 18 Summers for Tyndale. CHERYL MCKAY, screenwriter of The Ultimate Gift (which Gutteridge also novelized), has worked with Gutteridge on the novelizations for her scripts, Never the Bride for Random House and Greetings from the Flipside for B&H Publishing. They won a Carol Award (ACFW) for Best Women's Fiction for Never the Bride. * * * Key Topics: Adapting scripts into books, what is a novelization?, challenges novelists face, script changes, word count, book length, how to paint in the setting, point of view, characters, story expansion, how to structure & plot a novel based on a script, how to handle backstory, interior monologue, characters and dialogue, and forming writing partnerships.
The Finally Fearless Workbook is meant to be used with the main text, Finally Fearless: Journey from Panic to Peace. It is a great tool for church groups, book clubs, or individuals who want to play an active role in their healing from fear and anxiety. Do fear and anxiety rule your life? They used to rule mine. I am not a medical doctor or a psychologist. I am a creative, intelligent woman. Yet panic and anxiety left me feeling completely out of control. I ached for God to show up and heal me instantly. Instead, He became my Wonderful Counselor, and He walked me through my fears, step by step, toward healing. Much of my personal recovery came through healing exercises I did, the same ones I'm now sharing with you in this companion workbook. The work you will do here is a reflection of God's relentless help in healing and encouraging me through these most vital exercises, creative assignments, journaling, reflection, and meditation on key scriptures. This workbook also contains bonus material not found in the original book, including extra journal entries, assignments, poetry, and helpful collections of Bible verses grouped by topics such as peace, hope, God's faithfulness, fear, and trust. Are you tired of fighting against your fears? Has panic interrupted your life? Has anxiety stopped you from going after your dreams? Start your soul-searching journey now so you, too, can venture toward peace. The Finally Fearless Workbook includes a collection of peaceful, original photography by Christopher Price. * * * Praise for Finally Fearless: Journey from Panic to Peace "This is one courageous book.

Why Would God Care About My Love Life? From the woman behind the screenplay and novel, Never the Bride, comes a roller coaster of a love story with God. Cheryl McKay pulls no punches about what it's really like to be single, with your age creeping up, and no end in sight to the wait for love and marriage. It seems that many years ago, God asked Cheryl to surrender the pen she was using to write her love story. All He wanted was carte blanche. No problem, right? Cheryl tentatively conceded-that is, until it became apparent that the Almighty had no intention of conforming to her writing schedule, much less the tick of her biological clock. In fact, He blew every deadline she ever attempted to set. As romance seemed to pass Cheryl by, she couldn't help but question: Could God really be trusted to bring her the love of her life? Written during a long wait, this book opens up Cheryl's painfully honest, personal journals. She explores what it's like to enlist in God's Marriage Boot Camp, and how to survive singlehood year after solitary year. She wrestles with her Creator over multiple best friends that never see her "that way." Then there are those lists of what she wanted-you know, the ones she revised a billion times then laminated for safekeeping. She watches, bewildered, as much younger women find love that seems to elude her. Through it all, she falls head over heels for a God who proves Himself to be as resistant to her controls as He is faithful beyond her wildest dreams. Are you still waiting? Have you lost hope? Venture to victory with a woman who knows just how hard it is to wait for the day when you are Finally the Bride. This book includes a collection of real-life, God-written love stories by such authors as SQuire Rushnell & Louise DuArt (God Winks Series, Couples Who Pray), and Victorya Michaels Rogers (Finding a Man Worth Keeping). Praise for Finally the Bride: "You know how in a romantic comedy, the girl gets the guy in about one hour and forty minutes? If that's not your story, this book is for you. Cheryl has turned her journey of pain, rejection, and the endless wait for a soul mate into a book filled with humor, rawness, sometimes hard-to-swallow truth, and most of all, hope." --Rene Gutteridge (co-author Never the Bride) "With courageous transparency, Cheryl invites us to share her journey of faith as she waits on God to write her love story. Not just a book for singles, every Christian can grow and be blessed by the truths Cheryl has learned." --Mark & Patti Virkler (4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice) "Starved for a soul mate? Follow McKay's breadcrumbs along this very personal journey of faith. This is no light confection of a book. Frankly witty and achingly raw, it is written out of first-hand experience by a woman who choked down one rejection after another, year after bewildering year." --Susan Rohrer (THE HOLY SPIRIT: Amazing Power for Everyday People) "Cheryl is a gifted writer who brings a great perspective to anyone seeking to find the right spouse or have a great marriage." --Crystal Stovall (A Groom Worth Waiting For) & Jim Stovall (The Ultimate Gift) "Cheryl's willingness to be vulnerable and share the personal, sometimes painful, lessons of faith, learned as a single Christian woman wrestling with God's timing and perfect plan for her life, brings such hope and encouragement to those in their own season of waiting." --Christa Sands (Learning to Trust Again) "She encourages the single person who believes they are to be married, to live life fully in the waiting-to enjoy the time with God and learn what it means to be fully committed to Him, before being committed to a different 'him.'" --Caroline Way (Confessions From a Farmer's Wife)
"What girl can't identify with "Never the Bride"? This is a
fabulously funny novel with deep truths embedded in its pages."
