I would highly recommend this book to everyone who has been or is a parent of young children. It was heart wrenching and I couldn’t put it down. The trials and stress this family went through are unreal and yet with the help of God, they endured and survived their ordeal.
Each day they filed into our small hospital room with their forecast of doom. They told us termination, to abort – to have an abortion – was the logical choice. They said it was our choice.
We told them No. We told them our son’s destiny was God’s Choice.
And God chose Jacob.

Amazon recommended this book and I really had no interest in reading this, but I’m glad I did. This book is filled with a lot of good information and tips.
You have just discovered a proven step-by-step systematic approach that will break you free from food addiction, binge eating and emotional eating. You most likely have heard that eating disorders and obesity are linked to each other. If you are struggling with an overeating disorder or are already obese because of one this book will change your life.
Having an eating disorder can make you feel like an invisible force is controlling your every move. Even though we know better one bowl of ice cream leads to us binge eating the whole pail. That one piece of brownie becomes the whole pan. If we so badly want to control ourselves then what keeps pushing us further away from doing just that. The more we resist overeating the worse it seems to get.
Your overeating doesn’t come down to poor nutritional knowledge, lack of willpower or some personality defect. You are not broken and do not need fixing. This isn’t your fault so you can relieve yourself of feeling hopeless and depressed. The problem and solution both lie in your habitual eating patterns which are easily changed.
Regaining Control
Have you been using all the latest fad diets in hopes life will change? Do you have that love-hate relationship with food and wish you could finally just enjoy it, guilt free?

You can develop key skills that make overeating next to impossible. Once you apply these skills to your life your constant battle with overeating will come to an end. The solutions you find inside are not another diet plan or telling you to just count the calories. The author knows you have already tried all that so why make you do it again.
Gaining back control does not happen by micro-managing your eating disorder. Eliminating it happens when you discover the source of your overeating and redefine the purpose of the food you eat. You have always had the power of choice but through some habitual eating practices you feel you have lost that power.
There is an easy solution to regaining control of your eating disorder and it has nothing to do with deprivation, crazy diets or hours of exercise. You will be psychologically and physically free from your eating disorder with the secondary benefit of losing any excess weight overeating may have caused you to gain.

God’s Double Agent: The True Story of a Chinese Christian’s Fight for Freedom
Pastor Fu tells his fascinating story in a simple way, like you are sitting across the table from him drinking tea together. His unlikely path from the destitute Chinese countryside and then Beijing to the windy roads of a Texas oil town and the offices of DC has had many twists and turns – many due to a passionate desire to tangibly help others, a desire often expressed in creative ways. Wonderful book to read and to share!
Bob Fu is indeed God’s double agent. By day Fu worked as a full-time lecturer in a communist school; by night he pastored a house church and led an underground Bible school. This can’t-put-it-down book chronicles Fu’s conversion to Christianity, his arrest and imprisonment for starting an illegal house church, his harrowing escape, and his subsequent rise to prominence in the United States as an advocate for his brethren. God’s Double Agent will inspire readers even as it challenges them to boldly proclaim and live out their faith in a world that is at times indifferent, and at other times murderously hostile, to those who spread the gospel.

Shadows & Secrets (Annals of Wynnewood Book 1)
I appreciate this book because it is fantasy book, which my children like, but it has no sorcery or magic in it. There are Christian themes throughout the book that only add to the story and are not a distraction. I would recommend it to others and we have bought the series to give as gifts.
NOTE: Please check the price before downloading; the price is subject to change.
Cloaked in Secrets (Annals of Wynnewood Book 2)
Our family loved Shadows and Secrets, and adored Cloaked in Secrets. Chautona Havig has outdone herself as a writer yet again, and Craig Worrell’s map and illustrations are wonderful! This book takes the reader through incredible adventures, miraculous survival, lessons on pride, and leaves you looking forward to book three without the annoyance of an actual cliffhanger ending.
NOTE: Please check the price before downloading; the price is subject to change.
Beneath the Cloak (Annals of Wynnewood Book 3)
I tend to not like children’s literature—it is often boring. Not so with this series! LOVE having a clean, well-written book of “juvenile fiction” that is anything BUT “juvenile”! Engaging characters and a satisfying conclusion go along with Chautona’s trademark: a truly unique storyline. WELL worth the purchase price, and TOTALLY worth the time to read!
After three years of friendship, adventures, dangers, and triumphs, Dove still wrestles with the ultimate question. Is I AM the God of her heart? While Philip
struggles with the direction of his own life, his friend’s secret threatens to divide more than friends. Who is Dove? What is Dove? And can Philip truly accept her when he discovers who is beneath the cloak she wears? The adventure continues beyond anything either of them could have imagined.

Beneath the Cloak
is the final book in the trilogy of adventure
surrounding Philip and Dove of Wynnewood

I loved this read. It was refreshing, fun, and just all around clean. It was simple enough that even a 5 year old would like to hear it read out loud, but entertaining enough to keep this 16 year old engrossed. Also, so few fantasies include Christ. From ‘Great Spirits’ to Aslan, there is normally a look alike, but never the true thing. ‘Everard’ did. And I loved it. I never realized how more a Fantasy can be when you include God.
Everard of Havilund—fierce warrior, brave soldier, loyal friend, heir to the throne, and painfully shy.
The war is over! Or is it? After four long years fighting in a war that has spanned a millennium, Everard is finally going home. He has faced everything he fears most—he thinks. Alas, trouble is brewing in the little hamlet of Hidden Hollow and he has only himself to blame.
Follow Everard as he tries to slay the Dragon of Ironia, face the Giant of the Tripp Mountains, bring the Enchantress of Enervatia to justice… just for starters.
Will he succeed? Will he overcome his personal demons that threaten all he is working for?

Princess Paisley (Not-So-Fairy Tales Book 1)
Princess Paisley is the most unique fairy tale I’ve ever read. It was fun, sweet, touching and interesting. I LOVE Chautona’s narrating in the story – so much fun & I giggled often.
Children and parents will both enjoy this book, and find themselves, like I am, wanting more of the same!

I would highly recommend this book for kids 4-7 who enjoy a delightful scare and have a goofy sense of humor.

The Way Home (Seven Brides Seven Brothers Book 1)
If you like brotherly bonding, contemporary conflicts, and gentle romance, this is the book for you. Belle Calhoune launches her series based on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers with a medical crisis that brings seven adopted boys, now men, home to take care of their parents. The genuine affection of the family almost trumps the sweet reunion story of Blue Donahue, a wayward journalist, and Sarah Dalton, a nurse. I found myself falling for the Donahue men while Blue and Sarah rediscovered their love for each other. Can’t wait for the next in the series.
The Caretaker
Blue Donahue, an internationally-known journalist, has come home to Breeze Point, Cape Cod to celebrate his parents’ fortieth wedding anniversary. When his father suffers a stroke, Blue, along with his six adopted brothers, is thrown into a tailspin. When he comes face to face with Sarah, the love of his life, his heart awakens to all the possibilities stretched out before them.
Sarah Dalton, an emergency room nurse, can’t believe her eyes when her ex-fiancé, Blue Donahue, comes crashing into her hospital. Four years ago their relationship crashed and burned when Blue showed up two hours late for their wedding. Now, she’s forced to face the only man she’s ever loved as he deals with a family crisis.
The hurts of the past loom large between Blue and Sarah. But as circumstances drive them together, they find that the love they thought they’d lost has endured. And, with faith and truth, they may be able to create a love stronger than any they’d ever dreamed possible and get their happily ever after.

The Heart’s Lullaby (Harvest Bay Series Book 2)
Great book, forgiveness and redemption! I love this writer; she makes you feel like you are in it with her characters~
Amy Beauregard arrives in Harvest Bay with her ten-year-old son, harboring secrets that could destroy her chance at happiness, and the conviction that God has long since abandoned her. But while she picks up the pieces of her shattered life, things start to fall into place that she couldn’t have predicted.
With Thanksgiving approaching, an unexpected visitor and a strange twist of fate remind both Elizabeth and Amy that even in the darkest times God is guiding His children, drawing them together in a way neither could have imagined. Will their renewed faith be strong enough to lead them through another crisis—or will The Heart’s Lullaby be left unsung?
“Author Jen Stephens has crafted a novel that is both tender and powerful, reaching out to engage readers’ minds and woo their heartstrings. The Heart’s Lullaby is just that—a story that sings to us of promises kept and dreams restored. This book will leave you encouraged about your own relationships and reaching out for more of God’s plans and purpose for your life.” —Kathi Macias is the author of forty books, including The Deliverer and Unexpected Christmas Hero
“Filled with hope, The Heart’s Lullaby is a story of redemption, second chances, and most of all, a tale of dreams that do come true.” —Alice J. Wisler, author of Rain Song, How Sweet It Is, Hatteras Girl, A Wedding Invitation, and Still Life in Shadows
“A beautifully told story of love and tragedy—and the intertwined lives of two women who needed each other more than they could have ever known, The Heart’s Lullaby will draw you in and not let you go until you’ve turned the final page. And still its melody lingers.” —Kathy Harris, author of The Road to Mercy

This is a delightful book, not at all what I feared (a knockoff of Mitford – another town I’d love to live in). Philip Gulley’s writing style is full of dry wit that makes me laugh out loud and insist that those near me listen to a funny section. Who could resist the Live Free or Die Sunday School class; Frank, the secretary who hangs up on callers he doesn’t like; Miss Rudy’s flinch when she hears of Jesus healing the ten “leapers”? On a more serious note, grace , sorrow, and redemption are woven through his stories. If you are looking for superbly written stories, this book would be the perfect choice.
Welcome to Harmony …
