The experience of being a caregiver for a loved one is an uncertain journey of challenges and choices. Many adult children are graduating into a world of a different “normal.”

In To Reach a Reason, this became a true, spiritual journey, during the course of ten years. A story unfolds among one of several caregivers, in a family who unyieldingly took on the task of giving care to their mom, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

The most challenging of times evolved into a spiritual journey, which bore the fruits of both abundant and unexpected blessings.

During times of despair, we often feel alone, like we are the only ones going through a horrific trial. It is at this specific time, when life has us in a chokehold, that we look to God and find that we are not the only ones in this predicament and that he is right there with us.
We need something to remind us of how we got over it the last time, perhaps a journal, a Scripture, or a special song to refer to in times of distress. These are stones of remembrance that will enable you to quiet the storms of life and control them instead of letting them control you.
This book is the basket of stones that helped me remember how I made it through and who helped me. I pray that this book will encourage readers to gather their stones and put them into a basket they can hold on to so they can remember how they overcame it the last time. And when you see someone else going through a storm, show them your basket that they, too, may find peace.

Have you ever had a passion that took you to places you never thought you could go? In the journey of life, we face adversities and challenges that can make or break us. The amazing lesson learned is how the things that help us grow physically mirror the things that help us grow spiritually.

In The Bodybuilder: Where Physical Discipline and Godly Discipleship Collide, Rev. Anthony L. Pelella shares personal stories of years of intense training in bodybuilding and boxing. Pelella makes analogies to the way God moves in our lives so we can achieve the ultimate goal: living a life that is pleasing to Him. He bases the comparison on 1 Timothy 4:8, showing that while physical training has value for the here and now, godliness has value for now and eternity. He also compares the challenges we face in building our physical body with those God uses to build His body, the Church. Just as proper nutrition is vital to the success of a bodybuilder, a steady diet of God’s Word is essential to being a person who truly follows the Lord.

The Bodybuilder demonstrates the coming together of the physical and spiritual worlds. It is one man’s journey that can inspire many.

In the fall of 1997 at a Bible college in Grantville, Pennsylvania, Dawn first set eyes on Jacob Cole. She didn’t know it then, but God had a special plan in mind for the two of them. In When Thunder Rolls, Dawn tells their love story—from their early friendship to the day Jacob died.

A story of relationships and loss, When Thunder Rolls narrates Dawn’s journey through a heartbreaking trial in her life that drew her into a deeper walk with Christ. They were married in 2001 and were happy for several years. But the young couple’s life changed in 2008 when Jacob was diagnosed with malignant melanoma and died just a year later. This memoir tells how that experience forever changed Dawn, who became a young widow and single mother to four children.

Through her personal testimony, Dawn encourages others facing deep trials to know they are not alone and that with God’s strength within them they will come through. And as they yield their hearts to Him and trust Him no matter what, God will be glorified.
