The Great Controversy

David Davenport

David's Key

Teshuvah is a Hebrew word and corresponding concept which denotes and embodies the act of repentance. Teshuvah entails the two-fold act of turning away from that which defiles the heart, and returning-to a place of purity of heart. King David's "key" to returning to a place of purity of heart was that in and through his heart of contrition before the Lord. Follow a very painful biographical sketch of the author, as he shares with brutal honesty his sordid trail of brokenness and subsequent cleansing and restoration. Equally follow the parallel of King David's journey in his profound dealings with God.

Neil Hilborn

Poetry. "When you're dumb enough for long enough, you're gonna meet someone too smart to love you, and they're gonna love you anyway, and it's gonna go so poorly," Neil Hilborn writes in his debut full-length collection, OUR NUMBERED DAYS. In 2013, Hilborn's poem "OCD" went viral, and has amassed over 11 million views to date. While this collection ruminates on love, heartbreak, and mental illness, these poems are anything but saccharine. Hilborn uses the same humor and self-deprecation that propelled "OCD" to success in order to make his unmatched vulnerability all the more powerful. Ultimately, Hilborn is a poet of the people: his work is accessible, honest, and entertaining—a revitalizing entry in contemporary poetry.
