Better: How Jesus Satisfies the Search for Meaning
I highly recommend this book. Not just for you, but for your loved ones. Oh, and also grab a few extra copies for some of the many strangers you brush shoulders with, because they think they know what’s best, but this book will help them see that Jesus is better, and He satisfies their search for meaning.
Most people live a life they never would have planned. The good news is that coming to the end of their expectations means they’re on the brink of great wisdom, peace, and joy. That’s what the ancient author of Ecclesiastes helps us figure out—it is quite possible to face detours and dead-ends in life and still find more satisfaction than you ever could have imagined.
Better explores the mysteries, scandalous lines, and deep truths of Ecclesiastes and applies them to life today. Better seeks to show how the questions of the heart find their answer in the person of Jesus. Here you will find a vision of life that is neither naive nor cynical, but realistic and hopeful. Because the truth is, when God answers the questions, you finally realize what is better.

The 3:16 Promise: He Loves. He Gives. We Believe. We Live.
Max Lucado has a way to illustrate concepts in the bible to make them crystal clear. I was raised with daily bible reading at the dinner table and know the bible well. As well as I know it, reading Max Lucado’s books, and especially 3:16, has renewed and deepened the realization that God’s love as expressed in Jesus is all encompassing and unconditional. He loves me when I don’t love, or even like, myself.

Rooms is really about what’s inside us. It’s about how sometimes when it looks like you have it all, you may not have it all together inside, and that’s where it counts. It’s about dealing with tragedy, then coping when the tragedy becomes too much. It’s also about questions, and questioning ourselves. The biggest question of all is how to deal with life. Rubart’s answer is simple – turn to God.

Oh, I loved this book! Just as the summary says, it is emotionally riveting and profoundly moving. I cried and cried while reading Mother of Pearl (outright crying while reading is a rare thing for me). I was sitting on my couch during my baby’s nap time, with a box of tissues next to me. The book was just so moving, I could not hold the tears in. I don’t think I would have been so affected, but for the fact that I am a mother now and could really identify with Barrie. That’s not to say that Mother of Pearl was a depressing book. There were sad events, to be sure, but ultimately the book was uplifting and ended on a positive note.
Barrie Graeber has two great kids, a loving husband, and a respected job as the high school counselor in her close-knit community. Without warning, everything unravels when her teenage daughter, Pearl, is betrayed by friends and lashes out.
Nothing prepares this mother for the helplessness that follows when her attempts to steer her daughter back on course fail and Pearl shuts her out . . . or when she discovers the unthinkable about her nemesis, the football coach.
Emotionally riveting and profoundly moving, Mother of Pearl brings us into the heart of a mother bound by an incredible burden, who ultimately finds she must recognize her own vulnerability and learn to trust in something much bigger.
“Heart-wrenching yet filled with grace and hope, Kellie Coates Gilbert’s Mother of Pearl is beautifully written and a book that needs to be read by everyone with a child or grandchild. Novel Rocket and I give it a high recommendation.” Ane Mulligan, Sr. Editor Novel Rocket
“A story that could have come from today’s headlines, Mother of Pearl is a compelling, thought-provoking debut.

“Kellie Coates Gilbert’s debut novel kept me turning pages and on the edge of my seat. Wonderful, richly-drawn characters who drew me to their hearts despite their flaws. Mother of Pearl carries a sobering message but it’s deftly threaded through a story that is anything but sober. I will eagerly await Gilbert’s next offering.” -Deborah Raney, author of the Hanover Falls Novels series from Howard/Simon & Schuster
“Gilbert’s debut novel is a force to be reckoned with. Mother of Pearl will pluck at the cords of every reader’s heart and refuse to let go until the last page. The story shines a light in the dark places of an issue too often over-looked. There’s a desperate need for awareness regarding this sensitive topic, and Gilbert’s Barrie is a mother who is willing to stand her ground in the face of the fiercest opposition. A heart-twisting tale that readers won’t soon forget.”—Elizabeth Goddard, Carol Award winning author of The Camera Never Lies
“Kellie Gilbert’s debut novel is a beautifully written, moving story about the vastness of a mother’s love for her daughter. Highly recommended.” Lisa Harris, Christy Award Finalist

Kellie Coates Gilbert unfolds her story with the sensitivity of a skilled writer.” – Lisa Wingate, National bestselling, award-winning author of Dandelion Summer and Blue Moon Bay
“From the deepest recesses of her heart, Kellie Coates Gilbert pens her debut novel – Mother of Pearl.

This story will remain with me for many years to come.” – Nancy Jo Jenkins, author of Coldwater Revival
“I started and finished Mother of Pearl in one night. There is no better endorsement than simply not being able to put a book down. And I couldn’t put down this first time authors debut novel. I was totally engrossed.” – Tina Sloan, Author of Changing Shoes, and television star of Guiding Light
