Serving others is a vital part of the Christian life. Time and again Christ demonstrated the importance of putting others first and giving what we can to help those less fortunate.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION!

"Original, sparkling bright, and layered with feeling."--Sally Thorne, author of The Hating Game

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.

They're polar opposites.

In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

A must-read for parents, The Organized Student contains hands-on strategies for teaching your disorganized child how to organize for success in middle school and high school, with special tips for kids with ADD/ADHD and learning disorders.

The overstuffed backpack, the missing homework, the unused planner, the test he didn't know about. Sound familiar?

This practical book is full of hands-on strategies for helping parents identify and teach organizational skills. Educational consultant Donna Goldberg has developed these methods by working with hundreds of students and in this book she provides:

-Assessments to gather information about your child's learning style, study habits, and school requirements
-Guidelines for taming that overstuffed binder and keeping it under control
-PACK--a four-step plan for purging and reassembling a backpack or locker
-Instructions for organizing an at-home work space for the child who studies at a desk or the child who studies all over the house
-Ways to help your child graduate from telling time to managing time
-Special tips for kids with learning disabilities and kids who have two homes...and more

Katrina Kenison

A Mother's Memoir

The Gift of an Ordinary Day is an intimate memoir of a family in transition-boys becoming teenagers, careers ending and new ones opening up, an attempt to find a deeper sense of place, and a slower pace, in a small New England town. It is a story of mid-life longings and discoveries, of lessons learned in the search for home and a new sense of purpose, and the bittersweet intensity of life with teenagers--holding on, letting go.

Poised on the threshold between family life as she's always known it and her older son's departure for college, Kenison is surprised to find that the times she treasures most are the ordinary, unremarkable moments of everyday life, the very moments that she once took for granted, or rushed right through without noticing at all.

The relationships, hopes, and dreams that Kenison illuminates will touch women's hearts, and her words will inspire mothers everywhere as they try to make peace with the inevitable changes in store.

90 Days of Saying Yes to a God Who Is Anything but Boring

We have to stop talking about God like He's boring.




The way we often talk about Him, you'd think He was a hall monitor with a clipboard, yelling things like, "No running!" "Keep your voices down!" and "Do that one more time, and you'll have detention!"




It's no wonder our faith so easily grows stale, that we find ourselves religiously checking boxes and calling it a day.




Now, God absolutely has ideas for how to best live our lives, and of course, that includes things He says not to do, but that's not the whole story.




When we talk about God like this, we forget about all the other things He is: How powerful God is, how deeply good He is, how loving He is - He's also so much fun!




God is a God of delight, and best friends, and laughing so hard you cry (or pee your pants). He's trips to the mountains, and your toes in the sand, and love beyond anything you even knew your heart could hold. He's healing, and redemption, and the best friend you could ever have.




We serve an incredible, gigantic, mighty, adventurous God, and The Lipstick Gospel Devotional will help you get to know Him better.




One day at a time, it'll help you get closer to the God who loves you and the beautiful life He has planned for you.




Order your copy of The Lipstick Gospel Devotional today!










Devotional Details:
Through 90 days of scripture, story, and practical steps forward, The Lipstick Gospel Devotional will help you:




- Consistently spend time with God (and feel connected to Him well beyond your morning quiet times!)

- Trust the plans God has for your life (and help you figure out what those plans are!)

- Step into your God-given identity (feeling truly beautiful & good enough in your skin)

- Keep your faith strong in the midst of transition, uncertainty, and really hard days

-Add more joy, more delight, and even more whimsy to your everyday life

- And so much more...

Scarlett‘s grandmother wants her to bring her boyfriend home for what maybe her grandmother‘s last Christmas. Which wouldn’t be a problem… If Scarlet actually had a boyfriend. Scarlett sister came up with a bit of a eviction to make Grandma happy.

We all have boyfriends, Grams. Really, we’re not going to waste our lives and die alone in a trailer full of cats.

Scarlett would totally skip the fake boyfriend performance, but her cousin Jane is bringing her boyfriend to grandma‘s too and he’s Scarlett‘s ex.

Yeah. Her rich, arrogant, all too sure of his own charms, ex-boyfriend. That guy. There’s no way she’s showing up solo to face him. Scarlett is stuck, last minute, with Liam, a man she’s never met and knows nothing about it.

Maybe it’s Liam‘s extreme hotness that metal Scarlett’s mind, but she has a hard time keeping certain facts straight-like his profession, and the fact that he’s not really her boyfriend… So she’s not supposed to kiss him.

She had to stay on her toes because not keeping her story straight will land her and Liam and all sorts of trouble.

If you love a laugh–out–loud romantic comedy with all the warm, fuzzy feelings of Christmas trees, gingerbread, and hot guys, snatch up the page-turner today!
