“Intriguing” women’s fiction from a USA Today–bestselling author with “credible, compassionate, and even heartless characters” and an “enticing plot” (New York Journal of Books). Cristy Haviland gave birth behind bars to the child of the man who put her there and might yet destroy her. Now she’s free again, with no idea what to do next. As smart as she is, a learning disability has kept her from learning to read. And that’s the least of her hurdles. Georgia Ferguson, talented educator, receives a mysterious charm bracelet that may lead her to the mother who abandoned her at birth. Does she want to follow the clues? Can she bring herself to reach out for help along the way? Now Cristy and Georgia are standing at a crossroads, a place where unlikely unions can be formed. A place where two very different women might bridge the gap between generations and education, and together make tough choices. They might even, if they dare, find friendship. Praise for One Mountain Away, book 1 of the Goddesses Anonymous series: “Richards creates a heart-wrenching atmosphere that slowly builds to the final pages, and continues to echo after the book is finished.” —Publishers Weekly “Complex characters, compelling emotions and the healing power of forgiveness—what could be better? I loved this book!” —New York Times–bestselling author Sherryl Woods

Summary: "The Friendly Green Alien" tells the moving story of Zorg, a brave and caring alien from a faraway planet who comes to Earth to finish a very important mission. Twelve exciting chapters follow Zorg's quest to find an old diamond that can break a dangerous curse that threatens both Earth and his world. Every part of the story is a tribute to the kindness, friendship, and determination of young heroes. When Zorg gets there, he meets Timmy and Sarah. The two brave and curious kids decide to become friends with the alien. The trip they take together is about finding their own strength as much as it is about saving the world. The trip tries their resolve and makes their bond stronger. They learn a lot about courage, friendship, and trusting others as they go through each difficult situation. For example, the Whispering Woods' false silence and the River of Reflections' dangerous currents both help them get closer to their goal. The story is built around the events that test the characters' ideas of what is brave and what is horrifying. In the Cave of Echoes, they face their worst fears and depend on each other to help them find their way through the darkness. At the base of the Great Mountain, where the story ends, the big bird called the Guardian checks to see how pure their hearts are and finds that they are true and never change. The final battle against the evil curse shows how unity and good feelings can change things. The old crystal is raised into the air by Timmy, Sarah, and Zorg. They use their best memories and love for each other to create a beautiful light that will destroy darkness. "The Friendly Green Alien" is more than just a fun adventure story; it also has deep themes about friendship, bravery, and the power of kindness. People will remember that love and friendship are the most powerful forces in the universe when Zorg goes back to his world because of the lessons he learned and the connections he made. Chapter 1: A Visitor from Another World. One beautiful night, when the moon was out and everyone seemed to be sleeping soundly, something strange happened in Mrs. Brown's garden. A spaceship that was about the size of a car and sparkled like a silver pearl in the moonlight gently landed on the soft grass. As the door to the spaceship slowly opened, a very strange guest stepped out. You wouldn't normally see a bird, a plane, or something like that. Zorg was there. He was an alien from a world other than ours. It was dark and Zorg's skin was green. She was short, about the height of a kitchen chair. There was awe and surprise in his big, round eyes. It was like everything he saw was the most amazing thing he had ever seen. Because Zorg was in a very important task, he had to travel through space and see stars and planets of all shapes and sizes. The home world of Zorg was in danger. It is beautiful, with fields of crystal flowers and purple skies. The land was about to become a place of darkness and sadness because of a terrible curse that had spread through it. Despite everything, there was hope. There were tales that an old gem was hidden somewhere on Earth that could break the curse and bring light back to Zorg's realm. People said that this crystal was filled with the brightest light and could beat any darkness or gloom, no matter how strong it was. It wasn't like any other rock. It gave Zorg courage to go on his trip, and he felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. It wasn't going to be easy, he knew. The crystal could have been hidden anywhere on Earth because it was so big. The crystal might be hiding in mountains, forests, seas, or deserts that Zorg had only read about in old books about his world. His home, on the other hand, gave him strength. To save Earth and his own world, Zorg chose to find the diamond. And the terrible curse was after all threatening all places of light and goodness. Earth, with its lush plants, clear waters, and wide range of animals, was worth protecting. When Zorg first set foot on Earth, he looked up at the stars he had come from. They seemed to glow in a positive way, as if to tell him that every journey starts with one step. Zorg set out on his journey excited to learn more about this new world, meet its people, and find the old diamond. His heart was full of hope, and the excitement of the unknown lit up his eyes. The night was quiet and beautiful, and it was the first time anyone could see Zorg's amazing plan. It was a mission that would bring challenges, bonds, and an experience like no other. Chapter 2: The Meeting When the sun came up and cast a warm glow over Mrs. Brown's garden, a big event was about to happen. Timmy, Mrs. Brown's brave and interested son, was the first person to notice the surprise visitor. He saw something or someone hiding behind a bush while he was outside playing. Zorg, a little green alien from a faraway world, was having a hard time fitting in. Not like most people, though, Timmy felt a rush of joy instead of fear or shock. Since he was a little kid, Timmy has had dreams about aliens. He had stared up at the sky many nights in a row, wondering if anyone else saw him. He was now in his own yard, Zorg! Timmy walked up to Zorg with a smile on his face, and Zorg knew he had finally made his first friend on Earth. When they introduced themselves, they found that they had a lot in common, even though they were from very different places. Timmy was interested in Zorg's beautiful spaceship and his stories about worlds far away. Zorg was amazed at how kind and interested Timmy was in the universe. Zorg told Timmy why he was being sent to Earth. He talked about his home world and how it was in danger from a bad curse. He also talked about an old jewel that might be able to save it. That the crystal was not only strong, but also full of good things and light, Zorg said. It was his goal and Timmy's too to find it. Timmy listened carefully with wide eyes. The idea of going on a real trip to protect the earth made him think of stories he could tell. He quickly told Zorg that he would help him with his search. Although he knew it would be hard, the thought of starting such an important trip made him very determined. They made a plan. Zorg would have Timmy as his guide on Earth to help him get around in this strange place. They would look everywhere and follow any clues they could find until they found the lost jewel. They became friends because they both wanted to change the world and promised to be brave and have exciting adventures. Zorg saw many amazing things around the world thanks to Timmy's tour, like lush forests, vast seas, and a lot of different species. In return, Zorg told stories about his home world, using words to make pictures of beautiful skies and crystal flowers. When they met, it was the start of an unbelievable journey. That showed how strong friendships can be and how people from different backgrounds can work together for a good cause. Because of a good cause, Timmy and Zorg, the boy and the alien, became unlikely partners. Before they left on their trip, the world seemed full of potential, and the air was filled with the thrill of the unknown. Their friendship gave them strength and hope, and when they worked together, they were ready to face any problems that came their way.

This book is a credit to Jesus Christ, who sustained the author through repeated and prolonged abuses of unmentionable proportions for several decades. The #1 purpose of this book is to glorify Jesus who is the Great Physician of impossible shatters, abuse, and heart-shreds, even amid emotional comatose and poly-fragmented dissociation. The #2 purpose of the book is to identify with the broken, rejected, and abused and to commend you all for your strength and survival. It is written as a voice for all the survivors of abuse and for those who may be currently trapped as a victim. It is written as a source of inspiration to offer hope to those who are on the healing journey, or desire to begin this journey to hope, healing, and freedom. The #3 purpose of the book is as a resource for those who are open-minded enough to be willing to learn how to understand and help the broken and abused and receive a deeper comprehension of the realities they face. We cannot correctly represent Jesus if we cannot see the abused and brokenhearted through His eyes and heart. When we truly see them through His heart and eyes, we will be propelled into compassionate action just as Jesus was. This book addresses and gives hope for abuse issues and aftermath on every level that many may prefer to shove under the carpet. This includes not only the various abuses out there but some of the aftermath such as extreme emotional agony, suicide, dissociation, rejection, PTSD, and satanic bondage. The enemy of our soul loves darkness and delights to feed on the unresolved anguish and footholds that are buried in his closets. With God’s help, the enemy and his tactics must be exposed and those whom he has wounded and/or holds captive must be freed, for he is defeated through the blood of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ!

After a challenging year of seeing her husband Graham through cancer treatment, lifestyle blogger Lilia Swallow is ready to celebrate his recovery. But just as their festive party gets underway, a mysterious guest presents Lilia with a beautiful baby boy, and vanishes. Toby is Graham’s darkest secret—the son he conceived in a moment of despair. Lilia is shocked by Graham’s betrayal, but even more surprised by the love she feels for his child. Once abandoned, Toby is now desperately wanted by three women: Lilia, who takes him into her home and heart; Marina, who bore him and now regrets giving him up; and Ellen, who sees in him a chance to correct the mistakes she made with her own son, Toby's father. A custody battle begins, and each would-be mother must examine her heart, confront her choices and weigh her dreams against the fate of one vulnerable little boy. Each woman will redefine family, belonging and love—and the results will alter the course of not only their lives, but also the lives of everyone they care for.

For over two hundred years people did not call on God by name. It wasnt until the birth of Adams grandson Enos, that men began to call upon the name of the Lord. God explained to Moses that He had appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses was given the task of returning to Egypt and demanding the release of the Israelite slaves. Moses asked God When I come unto the children of Israel and shall say unto them, the God of your fathers hath sent me unto thee, and they say to me, what is his name? What shall I say unto them. God said to Moses I AM THAT I AM and He said, thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you. God goes on to say to Moses... Thus, you shall say to the sons of Israel, The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My Memorial-Name to all generations. IAM Holy; Creator; The Most-High God; Righteous; Joy; Peace; Lord Mighty in Battle; God of the Battle; Conquer; High Tower and Strong Tower; Defender; Deliver; Thy Strength; Thy Sword; Thy Shield; Your Rock; The Wine; Your Fortress; Your Refuge; Shepherd; Kingsman Redeemer; Jubilee; Horn of thy Salvation; Sanctifier; Love; Mercy; Grace; Hope; Provider; Healer; Omnipresent; Omnipotent; Judge and Jealous. Now there are covenant names of Jehovah and redemptive names through which God revealed himself to Israel. These different names do not signify 40 different Gods, but HIS Characteristics, or HIS attributes.
