kindergarten. His big sister, Jessie, told him all about it. So

"rocks! "
Sara Hagerty masterfully draws from her own story of spiritual and
physical barrenness to birth in readers a new longing for God. With
exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty guides readers to a
tender place that God is holding just for them-a place where he
shapes the bitterness of lost expectations into deep, new places of
knowing Him. In the age of fingertip access to answers and a
limitless supply of ambitions, where do we find the God who was
birthed in dirt and straw? Sara Hagerty found him when life stopped
working for her. She found him when she was a young adult mired in
spiritual busyness and when she was a new bride with doubts about
whether her fledgling marriage would survive. She found him alone
in the night as she cradled her longing for babies who did not
come. She found him as she kissed the faces of children on another
continent who had lived years without a mommy's touch. In Every
Bitter Thing Is Sweet, Hagerty masterfully draws from the narrative
of her life to craft a mosaic of a God who leans into broken
stories. Here readers see a God who is present in every changing
circumstance. Most significantly, they see a God who is present in
every unchanging circumstance as well Whatever lost expectations
readers are facing-in family, career, singleness, or marriage-Every
Bitter Thing Is Sweet will bring them closer to a God who longs for
them to know him more. What does it look like to know God's
nearness when life breaks? What does it mean to receive his life
when earthly life remains barren? How can God turn the bitterness
of unmet desire into new flavors of joy? With exquisite
storytelling and reflection, Hagerty brings readers back to hope,
back to healing, back to a place that God is holding for them
alone-a place where the unseen is more real than what the eye can
perceive. A place where every bitter thing is sweet.

An in-depth examination of the novel ways young people support and
learn from each other though participation in online fanfiction
communities. Over the past twenty years, amateur fanfiction writers
have published an astonishing amount of fiction in online
repositories. More than 1.5 million enthusiastic fanfiction
writers-primarily young people in their teens and twenties-have
contributed nearly seven million stories and more than 176 million
reviews to a single online site, Fanfiction.net. In this book,
Cecilia Aragon and Katie Davis provide an in-depth examination of
fanfiction writers and fanfiction repositories, finding that these
sites are not shallow agglomerations and regurgitations of pop
culture but rather online spaces for sophisticated and informal
learning. Through their participation in online fanfiction
communities, young people find ways to support and learn from one
another. Aragon and Davis term this novel system of interactive
advice and instruction distributed mentoring, and describe its
seven attributes, each of which is supported by an aspect of
networked technologies: aggregation, accretion, acceleration,
abundance, availability, asynchronicity, and affect. Employing an
innovative combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses,
they provide an in-depth ethnography, reporting on a nine-month
study of three fanfiction sites, and offer a quantitative analysis
of lexical diversity in the 61.5 billion words on the
Fanfiction.net site. Going beyond fandom, Aragon and Davis consider
how distributed mentoring could improve not only other online
learning platforms but also formal writing instruction in schools.
How do you hold on to hope when you don't get the ending you asked
for? When Katie Davis Majors moved to Uganda, accidentally founded
a booming organization, and later became the mother of thirteen
girls through the miracle of adoption, she determined to weave her
life together with the people she desired to serve. But joy often
gave way to sorrow as she invested her heart fully in walking
alongside people in the grip of poverty, addiction, desperation,
and disease. After unexpected tragedy shook her family, for the
first time Katie began to wonder, Is God really good? Does He
really love us? When she turned to Him with her questions, God
spoke truth to her heart and drew her even deeper into relationship
with Him. Daring to Hope is an invitation to cling to the God of
the impossible-the God who whispers His love to us in the quiet, in
the mundane, when our prayers are not answered the way we want or
the miracle doesn't come. It's about a mother discovering the
extraordinary strength it takes to be ordinary. It's about choosing
faith no matter the circumstance and about encountering God's
goodness in the least expected places. Though your heartaches and
dreams may take a different shape, you will find your own questions
echoed in these pages. You'll be reminded of the gifts of joy in
the midst of sorrow. And you'll hear God's whisper: Hold on to
hope. I will meet you here. Content Benefits: Picking up where she
