Life is composed of many seasons—not just the meteorological ones, but also the physical, emotional, and spiritual ones we journey through on the path of life. In Every Season: 101 Devotionals for the Journey, Pastor Alvin Frank takes readers through a variety of Old and New Testament scriptures that align not only with annual seasons but also with the expected (and unexpected) seasons of our lives. By focusing on themes such as love, salvation and the cross, redemption, and transformation, Pastor Frank encourages readers to navigate each season with hope and trust in the God who loves them intimately. Over the course of the 101 devotionals, readers will be challenged to have the faith of Nehemiah, the courage of Esther, and the mind of Christ. They’ll grow in their faith and knowledge of God as our Father, who is passionate in His love for us and never stops working on our behalf, even when we can’t see or feel it. Through it all, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ acts as an anchor in every season of life. In Every Season meets readers where they are on their personal spiritual journeys, and the insights and reflections contained within its pages will help them take the next step closer to God. This inspirational devotional is ideal for both individual and group study, and will be a valuable companion in times of prayer and scripture study.

Field Hospital and Flying Column is the courageous tale written by a wounded nurse on the frontlines during World War I, far from home in the Red Cross in Belgium. Excerpt: "War, war, war. For me, the beginning of the war was a torchlight tattoo on Salisbury Plain. It was held on one of those breathless evenings in July when the peace of Europe was trembling in the balance, and when most of us had a heartache in case—in case England, at this time of internal crisis, did not rise to the supreme sacrifice. It was just the night for a tattoo—dark and warm and still. Away across the plains, a sea of mist was rolling, cutting us off from the outside world, and only a few pale stars lighted our stage from above."

Pioneer heart surgeons and bitter rivals: The “thoroughly engrossing” true story of doctors Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley (The New York Times Book Review). By 1970, the Texas Medical Center in Houston was the leading heart institute in the world, home to the field’s two most distinguished surgeons: Dr. Michael Ellis DeBakey and his young and ambitious disciple, Dr. Denton Arthur Cooley. Their combined mastery in occlusive disease, coronary artery bypass surgery, angioplasty, and heart transplants was unparalleled. For years they worked across the same operating table focused on, and fighting toward, the same lifesaving goals. But what began as a personal friendship and a mutually respectful professional partnership soon deteriorated into a jealous and embittered feud. Though their discord was a cause célèbre among colleagues, it would take award-winning investigative journalist Thomas Thompson to uncover the stunning betrayals and simmering resentments that fueled one of the most famous rivalries in the history of medicine. Weaving the story of DeBakey and Cooley with the stories of patients suffering life-threatening medical conditions, Thompson paints a fascinating portrait of the risks and rewards of cutting-edge science. From devastating tragedies to miraculous breakthroughs, Hearts is a richly detailed and utterly “compelling” account of the turmoil and tension behind one of the greatest medical achievements of the twentieth century (Time).
