We all have one-that nucleus upon which we obtain our energy and discern our purpose. Perhaps until now, your center has been based on shopping, entertainment, or sports.

What if those things you've placed at the center of your life will not bring you the abundance you desire? What if you need a true center?Bible scholars through the ages have insisted that the book of Colossians is the most Christ-centered book in the entire Bible. If that is true, then we, as twenty-first-century believers, must choose to study this Jesus-centric epistle with enthusiasm and with intention.

Family Is Divinely Inspired¿¿Family is God's design for us. But imagine a world without family. What would it be like? You would never attend a family reunion. You would have no one to invite to your wedding. You would have no spouse to commit your life to. No children or grandchildren. You would not gather with family for special holiday celebrations. You might feel alone. Isolated. As if you didn't belong. But that isn't what God had in mind, so He established the family.In Never Alone, Dr. Albert Reyes explores scripture to help us find God's plan and design for the family. Using the Bible as his guide and stories of real families with his ministry at Buckner International, Dr. Reyes guides you on a journey of discovery.

Demolition Suite spins a cautionary tale for the Anthropocene. This innovative sequence engages climate change, environmental degradation, and hazardous exposure with unexpected poetics. From contaminated sites to troubled bodies of water, forest fires to rewilding zones, these poems cover wide ground. Fluid tones shift between grief, wit, intimacy, and beyond. With kinetic diction, these pages stage embodied responses to our imperiled planet. Out of crisis, Carroll forges strange radiance, envisioning ecological restoration.

In her latest chapbook, How To Keep Things Alive, Beth Gordon continues to explore themes of loss and grief, this time through her relationships with the living and the dead. How does one show up as a child, parent, grandparent, sibling, friend, or lover with the inevitability of death looming behind every corner of life? Are fearless love and joy still possible after loss, both expected and unexpected? Are memory and language enough to raise the dead or exorcise the guilt of our choices "necessary and wrong?" Using a variety of poetic forms and often surreal imagery, Gordon asks these questions but never offers the reader an answer. These poems beseech the universe, but the universe is silent.

Can a taste of love cure the scars of yesterday?Single mother and baker Eden Lambert arrives in quaint Village Green looking for a home for herself and her 18-month-old son, Jake. Her warm welcome by her elderly hostess, Mary Jo Piermont, is offset by the cold disdain of Mary Jo's self-appointed protector, Joe Wolfe. At first, the long-legged blonde and her kid look like trouble to Joe. Mary Jo saved the builder's life years ago, and he will do no less for the woman he considers a surrogate mother. But as he keeps an eye on the unwanted guests, Joe's suspicions soon become replaced by admiration and respect for Eden's resolve and dedication to her son. With his background of abuse and abandonment, Joe is aware of the dangers facing the vulnerable and wants better for Eden and Jake. He offers her a business arrangement-he'll build her a bakery, and she can run it. As they join forces to start the bakery, can they overcome the scars of the past to find a recipe for love?

Nothing is more important than our relationship with the Father. But we are a weak, frail, and floundering people. At times our wandering seems endless, and our prayers repetitive and empty. The void within our hearts burns for fulfillment and the desire to feel worthy for a deeper relationship with God cries out. This is when we call to Him. "Meet me where I am, Lord. I must start but the mountain seems too high, the cliffs too steep. I am at the foot, scraping my nails into the rock and reaching." To know Him better, we understand we need Him to take a willing heart in hand and begin at the bottom. In these ninety-days of reflection, you will meet God where you are. Meet Me Where I Am, Lord is a refreshing way to enter the throne room and feel the touch of an ever-present God.

Treasures in Darkness is a true story of overcoming adversity and finding courage. If faced with fear, loss, disappointment or the inability to move past hurt, you will find hope and inspiration. Painful lessons become priceless treasures of healing and restoration discovered only by choosing to let God lead us through.

Blessings often come disguised in hard times, difficult circumstances, broken relationships, or shattered dreams. Sometimes the blessings are unexpected hugs from God. The Bible promises us that He will turn all things for good for those who love the Lord. This is the hope believers cling to when the storm clouds gather and when the rain is so hard, we can't see the next step. May you hear the hope these stories bring and are encouraged to look for your own blessings in disguise.
