Running Scared: Fear, Worry, and the God of Rest
Like all of Ed Welch’s books, Running Scared is a helpful book for ordinary people who struggle with ordinary sins. Scripture-laden and down-to-earth, this expose on fear, worry, and anxiety addresses our souls with the living and active word of the Living God.
In his new release, Running Scared, Edward T. Welch investigates the roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications of living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread. Welch encourages readers to discover for themselves that the Bible is full of beautiful words of comfort for fearful people (and that every single person is afraid of something). Within the framework of thirty topical meditations, Welch offers sound biblical theology and moment-by-moment, thoughtful encouragement for life-saving rescue in the midst of the heart and mind battlefield of rampant panic-stricken responses.
This comprehensive primer on the topic of fear, worry, and the rest of God will have readers retreating to scripture for invariable constancy, stalwart care, and robust comfort, instead of as Welch terms it, “hitting the default switch” by responding with characteristic human independence, control, and self-protectiveness. Running Scared affirms that, through Scripture, God speaks directly to our fears:
On money and possessions
On people and their judgments
On death, pain, and punishment
Welch’s lively text provides convincing evidences that humanity’s struggle against active and dormant fears are countless. The good news is that God provides both the remedy and the cure for this malady in the person of Jesus Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, and through powerful, life-altering promises in Scripture. Far more than merely another psychology “self-help” guide, Running Scared serves as a biblical roadmap to a life of serenity and security.

In Between (Katie Parker Production Book 1)
Whether you’re a teen or not, Katie Parker is a girl we can all relate to. There’s something universal about the challenges she faces. We all want to belong somewhere. We all want to be loved. We all need meaning in our lives.
Can we overcome our past?
Katie Parker is about to get a new life—whether she wants one or not. With her mom in prison, and her father AWOL, Katie is sent to live with a squeaky-clean family who could have their own sitcom. She launches a full-scale plan to get sent back to the girls’ home when she finds herself in over her head…and heart. When Katie and her new “wrong crowd” get into significant trouble at school, she finds her punishment is restoring a historic theater with a crazy grandma who goes by the name of Mad Maxine. In the midst of her punishment, Katie uncovers family secrets that run deep, and realizes she’s not the only one with a pain-filled past. Katie must decide if she’ll continue her own family’s messed up legacy or embrace a new beginning in this place called In Between.

This book is a literal must-read, full of easy-to-implement tips such as whether to consume salt, how lighting affects our mood and eating habits, which foods to avoid because they are metabolically toxic.
Have you been spinning your wheels, trying diet after diet, only to lose and regain the same 10, 20, or 30 pounds over and over again? Author Ari Whitten’s here to tell you that it’s not your fault!

Eliminate the Hidden Triggers That Are Keeping You Fat
Did you know that one hour of watching television shaves more minutes off your life than one cigarette? How is your sleep affecting your waistline?

I really enjoyed this book, very easy to read and excellent tips and advice on how to lose weight and keep it off. This is not a typical diet book, there are no diet plans and menus to follow. It is a handbook, so to speak, as to why we gain weight and what we need to learn about ourselves in order to lose it, for good!
Tora Cullip and Donna Richards offer practical, realistic and long-lasting solutions to help you reach your confident weight and never go back. The book is focused on three central ideas for getting fast and lasting results:
How your MINDSET might have spoiled your weight loss attempts in the past but could be your biggest asset in the future
How to rev up your METABOLISM by following the Ten Commandments for looking hot and feeling healthy – plain-speaking rules for eating, exercising, and sleeping to get the body you want
How MOTIVATION isn’t a question of willpower but of WhyPower – and exactly where to find the weight loss incentives that actually work for you.
Liberally sprinkled with inspirational stories about people who’ve achieved their goals, I Want What She’s Having, Now! is the perfect guide for finding the weight you want and a life you’ll love.
Apply the principles in this book to be comfortable in your own skin and love what’s looking back at you!

“I really DO want what she’s having! What woman doesn’t want to feel good in her own skin, clear in her mind and empowered in her body” ~ Lashaun Dale, senior national creative manager, Equinox Fitness

Why You’re Stuck: Your Guide To Finding Freedom From Any Of Life’s Challenges
I really like Derek’s newest book. I can tell he wrote it from the heart and that the inspiration came directly from his own life, which to me makes the information more valuable.
Are you successful in certain areas, but still feel like something is missing in your relationships, finances, physical health, or overall happiness?
No matter what your challenge is, the root cause of why we get stuck in any area of life is fundamentally the same. The good news is that when you understand what’s really been secretly holding you back, you’ll finally have the map for how to escape.
You’re about to discover:
• The secret to getting answers when you’re feeling lost, confused, and have no idea what to do or where to even begin.
• How to tap into your inner strength to experience more motivation, happiness, and fulfillment on demand – regardless of what’s happening in your life.
• How to get whatever you want even if you’re stressed out, busy, or have a million excuses.
• What the 6 things are that drive all of your behavior and how to tap into them to reprogram any thought or habit on a neurological level.
• What the most common fear is that holds people back, and why you’ll never overcome it until you understand this one simple thing.
• Why it’s impossible to remove a bad habit, and what you must do instead.
• Why a force stronger than willpower may be your missing link to getting yourself out of any rut.
• Why much of the great advice you’ve heard, especially from self-help and personal development gurus, may be the very thing that’s keeping you stuck.
• Why looking to find your life’s purpose is almost always going to backfire on you.
• Why the truth gets you stuck more often than lies, and what the “real” truth is when it comes to you becoming a master of your life.
• How being selfish can be the best thing for you and for the rest of the world.
• Why being stuck may be exactly what you need to make your next breakthrough.
If you’ve ever asked yourself…
• What’s my purpose and how do I find it?
• Why do I know I should feel grateful, happy, or fulfilled but still I feel absolutely miserable?
• Why can’t I get myself to do the things I say I’m going to do?
• Why are people crazy and how do I learn to live with them?
• How can I stop obsessive thoughts and get rid of unwanted emotions?
• What can I possibly do to change things when everything seems so hopeless and beyond my control?
If so, then this will be one of the most eye-opening books you’ll ever read.
How can I make such a bold claim?
I am regular guy who used to be out of shape, broke, and struggling to find answers to life’s big questions. After years of study and thousands of dollars spent on education from the world’s leading experts in psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, self help and personal development, I applied many great concepts to my own life. And… nothing much happened.
At least not until I discovered a few more key insights that tied everything together into a concise system. Since then, I’ve become a bestselling author, achieved financial freedom, maintain a fit body year round, and am living a life of freedom and fulfillment.
So I decided to write the personal development book I wish I had handed to me from the very start of things, the instruction manual for life if you will, to help you achieve whatever breakthroughs you desire in your life.
This book is my gift to you, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
To your happiness and success,
Derek Doepker

The Genesis Factor: Probing Life’s Big Questions
I would recommend this book mainly to Christians looking to answer the tough questions of their friends or seeking to clarify their own beliefs. It would be difficult for a non-Christian unfamiliar with the conventions of Biblical commentary to find what they’re looking for in this book.

This was a beautiful portrait of a young, determined little girl whose destiny was held in the heart of the Lord. I loved the gentle way that Oprah was portrayed in this story. The overwhelming feeling I walked away with was the special love that she shared with Hattie Mae and a special friend. The artwork was bold and sweeping.
At age three, Oprah began performing in churches, becoming known to adoring crowds as the Little Speaker. When she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she answered, “I want to be paid to talk.” Here is the story of Oprah Winfrey’s childhood, a story about a little girl on a Mississippi pig farm who grew up to be the “Queen of Talk.” The host of the Emmy Award–winning Oprah Winfrey Show , she currently directs a media empire that includes television and movie productions, magazines, a book club, and radio shows. An author’s note is included.

The Triumph of Grace: Grace in Africa series #3
Only now do I realize that this is the third book of a trilogy. Often, by the third book, if you haven’t read the first two, you can’t follow the thread very well. I recommend the book, even if you haven’t read the others. A very good read, which I recommend, even if you aren’t a Christian, but enjoy historical fiction.
Grace in Africa is a sweeping historical three-part saga of slavery and freedom that takes the reader from an island off the west coast of Africa to Southern plantations and finally on to Canada.
All her life, Grace Winslow, the daughter of a mixed marriage between an English sea captain and an African princess, has been forbidden to ever approach Zulina, the fortress that juts out into the sea off the African coast. In book 1, when she escapes the family compound to avoid an odious betrothal, she is swept up in a slave revolt.
As the truth about Zulina unfolds, Grace begins to grasp the brutality and ferocity of the family business—the capture and trade of slaves. Held for ransom, viciously maimed by a runaway slave, and threatened with death, Grace is finally jerked into reality when her parents leave her to die rather than negotiate with the slaves. Grace sympathizes with the plight of the captives, and she is genuinely moved by the African Cabeto’s passion, determination, and willingness to sacrifice anything, including his own life, for his people’s freedom.
With much of the island in flames, and the slaves freed, Grace is abandoned by her parents. Where shall she go? Her old nursemaid Mama Muco, opens a missionary Bible that she has managed to save and points to Isaiah 61: “The Lord has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound…to give unto them garlands of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning.”
It’s a new beginning for Grace.

Tears of the Bishop (The Faith in Peril Trilogy Book 2)
I enjoyed this book so much that I finished it very quickly. I read every extra minute to see what would happen next.
Book 2 of “The Faith in Peril Trilogy”
Anna Glick finds Bishop Elijah Hartzler’s sermons engaging and honest, but his pain is at times evident. His wife, Justine, is pregnant with their third child, although the first two did not survive their births. As she prepares to go into labor, everyone prays for her, including Anna, who wishes nothing but happiness and peace for the long-suffering bishop.
When tragedy strikes, the community rallies, but, in his anguish, Elijah pushes everyone away. Stumbling upon him hiding in a cornfield, Anna consoles the grieving man, and her words ease his sorrow. A friendship forms between the two, and, through the tears, a connection develops…growing into something far deeper.
But everyone thinks Anna will marry Abram Zug, who she has been courting. To compound matters, the Albrechts have taken it upon themselves to be ever-present at Bishop Hartzler’s house, pushing their daughter, Catherine, in his direction. Through the trials of grief and loss, Elijah is determined to follow his heart, even if it means breaking all the rules in the process.

Lasting Impression, A (A Belmont Mansion Novel Book #1)
Tamera Alexander has been a favorite author of mine since her first book. I proudly have each of her books in my personal library and I plan to continue. Her books are books I’ll buy without ever reading the synopsis. I KNOW they will be good.
To create something that will last is Claire Laurent’s most fervent desire as an artist. It’s also her greatest weakness. When her fraud of a father deals her an unexpected hand, Claire is forced to flee from New Orleans to Nashville, only a year after the War Between the States has ended. Claire’s path collides with that of Sutton Monroe, and she considers him a godsend for not turning her in to the authorities. But when they meet again and he refuses to come to her aid, she realizes she’s sorely misjudged the man. Trading an unwanted destiny for an unknown future, Claire finds herself in the middle of Nashville’s elite society and believes her dream of creating a lasting impression in the world of art may finally be within reach.
All that Sutton Monroe holds dear lies in ruin. He’s determined to reclaim his heritage and to make the men who murdered his father pay. But what he discovers on his quest for vengeance reveals a truth that may cost him more than he ever imagined.
Set at Nashville’s historic 1850s Belmont Mansion, a stunning antebellum manor built by Mrs. Adelicia Acklen, the richest woman in America in the 1860s, A Lasting Impression showcases the deep, poignant, unforgettable characters that set Tamera’s stories apart and provides an inspiring love story that will capture readers’ hearts and leave them eager for more.
The second book in the Belmont Mansion series, A Beauty So Rare, releases March 2014.

Rock Harbor Search and Rescue: Lost and Found
I wasn’t sure about reading this as it is targeted toward teens…however Colleen Coble totally lived up to her name in this book. It was an awesome read that kept us guessing right to the end. I am honestly so proud of her as an author
Fourteen-year-old Emily O’Reilly and her best friend Olivia Webster have a knack for solving mysteries. Emily has been busily training her new puppy Sherlock to be a Search and Rescue dog so that the two can lead search-and-rescue missions someday. So when Emily stumbles across an old photo of Olivia’s adoption day—a fact that has never been revealed to Olivia—the two quickly decide to uncover the mysterious details surrounding Olivia’s birth parents.
But the two bite off more than they can chew as they dig into learning more about Olivia’s adoption without notifying her parents. And to make matters worse, Emily’s mother Marika, a convicted felon recently released on parole, will stop at nothing to contact her daughter—a fact that Emily is not happy about.
When her beloved stepmother Naomi disappears, Emily takes it upon herself to connect the dots and conduct her own snow-bound search-and-rescue mission with Sherlock. Will Emily ever find the secret behind Naomi’s disappearance? And will Olivia ever learn the truth about her adopted parents?

I have to say that I was thrilled with this book. I’ve never read a Christian Sci-Fi before and it had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I was shocked by all of the Science in the book, but even more at how relevant the main character’s stand for his faith is like ours today.
This is a book that explores a fictional future through the eyes of one who believes in a non-fictional God.
She finds a supporter in genetics researcher Cameron Reinhardt. However, Reinhardt is a favorite of the Institute’s director, and she can’t help wondering if he, too, is in on the cover-up. The brilliant but absentminded researcher turns out to have his own secrets, some of them dark and deadly. The Enclave is characterized by adventure, intrigue, spiritual analogy, and romance, all set in an unusual but fully realized world–one that may have its foundations on earth but which, the more one learns of it, doesn’t seem much like the earth we know at all.
