Did you know that you can love Jesus and therapy at the same time; that you can be a committed follower of Jesus and still wrestle with depression, anxiety, and mood swings? Flip through the pages of the Bible, and you'll find numerous heroes of the faith who wrestled with such things. In this book, you'll encounter ten major Bible characters who experienced depression, and God used them to do mighty and extraordinary things for Him. Why is this important? Because you need to know that God isn't done with you just because you're going through some tough things in life. No, God can and will use you to do things you've never imagined if you'll step outside of the boat and give it all to Him. In Embers of Hope, there is this call to have a conversation between the church and those going through depression. If we're honest, there hasn't always been room in the church for people going through these valley experiences. So let's make room in the church for the church belongs to Jesus, who compassionately cares for all people, no matter what kind of season we may be going through. In Embers of Hope, you'll notice the word hope. You may feel that all you have is a small glowing ember, as opposed to this raging fire of passion, but the hope lies in the fact that all it takes is for God to blow on that ember and experience that raging fire of passion again! But there is also a call for us to ask God, "What are you trying to show me through this season?" I hope you'll be greatly encouraged as you read Embers of Hope, and I hope you'll grasp onto that hope that can only be found in Jesus.

Ten years after her parents were killed, Evelyn Radcliffe is once more homeless. The orphanage that was her refuge and later her workplace has burned to the ground, and only she and a young orphan girl have escaped. Convinced this must be related to her parents' murders, Evelyn flees with the girl to Mesquite Springs in the Texas Hill Country and finds refuge in the home of Wyatt Clark, a talented horse rancher whose plans don't include a family of his own. At first, Evelyn is a distraction. But when it becomes clear that trouble has followed her to Mesquite Springs, she becomes a full-blown disruption. Can Wyatt keep her safe from the man who wants her dead? And will his own plans become collateral damage?

Seventeen-year-old Shavonne has been in juvenile detention since the seventh grade. Mr. Delpopolo is the first counselor to treat her as an equal, and he helps her get to the bottom of her self-destructive behavior, her guilt about past actions, and her fears about leaving the Center when she turns eighteen. Shavonne tells him the truth about her crack-addicted mother, the child she had (and gave up to foster care) at fifteen, and the secret shame she feels about what she did to her younger brother after her mother abandoned them. Meanwhile, Shavonne's mentally unstable roommate Cinda makes a rash move, and Shavonne's quick thinking saves her life—and gives her the opportunity to get out of the Center if she behaves well. But Shavonne's faith is tested when her new roommate, mentally retarded and pregnant Mary, is targeted by a guard as a means to get revenge on Shavonne. As freedom begins to look more and more likely, Shavonne begins to believe that maybe she, like the goslings recently hatched on the Center's property, could have a future somewhere else—and she begins to feel something like hope. This is a brutally honest but hopeful story of finding yourself and moving beyond your past.

A reverse harem, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance. "The relentless clock of fate was groaning over to the next hour, ringing the arrival of a battle as old as time, sounding the final alarm, the final chance to fall to our blades or lift them high. It was repeating infernal hours that grew hungrier with each turn, more vicious than the day, the year, the century before." The end was here. The great war had begun. I had been torn apart and remade, a marionette to dance over the coals of this world, stitched together by my tormentors. The great masters thought they could break me down and own me. They were wrong. I had won my freedom, my place in this world, my golden-eyed protector by my side. Until it happened again; the grim call of fate looking out at me through eyes of darkness, the great masters waiting with the power I needed, curses and promises in their hands. It was time to make another deal. It was time to play their game in earnest. Book 2 in the Tempest of Shadows series. Over 105,000 words. This is a slow burn with DARK themes, unwilling anti-heroes, and one hell of a kick-ass heroine woven through a rich fantasy setting.
