Sawyer Drake has never known what she wants—except it isn't working in the family restaurant, which is what everyone expects. In order to outrun her destiny, or at least delay the inevitable, she bounces from job to job—and woman to woman. Nothing keeps her attention for very long. Nothing, that is, until she meets shy pastry chef Jori Diamantina. But Jori has no intention of risking the job she loves and a life she's comfortable with for a passing fling with Sawyer, no matter how strong the attraction. Sawyer has no idea what she wants from Jori, or from life, but she's about to find out—because Jori makes her want to stop running. A Place to Rest is a touching romance about the beauty of finally discovering where you belong.

Exhaustion, burnout, tiredness, even breakdown... sadly, such conditions are all too common these days, not least among those involved in some kind of Christian ministry, whether full-time, part-time or voluntary. In striving to do our utmost for God, we can easily forget that there were many times when Jesus himself was willing to rest, to do nothing except wait for the Spirit's prompting, so that he demonstrated the vital principle of 'working from a place of rest'. Drawing on extensive experience of training and mentoring across the world, Tony Horsfall reflects on the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman to draw out practical guidance for sustainable Christian life and work. As he writes: 'Come and sit by the well for a while. Take some time out to reflect on how you are living and working. Watch Jesus and see how he does it. Listen to what the Spirit may be saying to you deep within, at the centre of your being; and maybe, just maybe, God will give you some insights that will change your life and sustain your ministry over the long haul.'

A Place to Rest: The first Advent of Jesus Christ as Our Eternal Hope retells a story that never grows old, faint, or weary in the reading. The story is uniquely told through a journeyman who gives a firsthand poetic verse by verse account of what he sees and hears as the birth occasion unfolds. A Place to Rest is a reflection story of a pilgrim who was in Bethlehem at the time of Christ's birth. He has difficulty finding a place to rest because of the crowd. While searching for a place, he is attracted to a young couple who is also looking for a resting place; he meets shepherds following a bright star. He settles next to the stable where the young couple, Mary and Joseph, also settled. He sees the same shepherds making their way to the stable that ends up being the birth scene they searched for. He overhears a conversation between the couple, and he hears a baby's cry; in his curiosity, he moves in to witness the baby in the manger. The whole experience appears to him to be unbelievable and yet preordained. He learned that the birth was actually a miraculous act of God, who sent His Son to be born as a human baby in a compassionate effort to be in communion with humanity whom He loves. Beautiful pictures and a biblical verse accompany each poetic verse. Life is filled with relentless movement and countless activity. Even when we attempt to quiet ourselves, unwelcomed noises arise in our minds. Whether young or old, common or professional, rich or poor, the pattern of constantly seeking a perfect place of peace seems inevitable. A Place to Rest was written as a reminder to all ages that the perfect place we seek came to Earth on a Christmas morning in Bethlehem. God's Son Jesus Christ came to earth as a human being to become for us the rest that we so desire. Living in our hearts, He can tune out the noises of the world so that we can experience a peace, a quiet that surpasses all understanding. Follow the poetic verse by verse account of the first advent of Jesus Christ.

A Place to Rest is a journey of discovery through the rapidly changing landscape of the post-World War II American South as viewed from the perspective of best friends, Mildred Morgan and Janet Bell. The pair grew up together in rural Grover's Fork, Alabama, and remained inseparable through college, despite having little in common. Mildred is the classic wallflower-soft-spoken, malleable, and emotionally fraught. Janet is outspoken, iconoclastic, and highly ambitious. After college, the two part ways. Mildred returns to Grover's Fork, where she becomes a high school librarian. Living at home and socially adrift, she marries a fellow teacher and starts a family. Her carefully constructed safe harbor is shaken by the mysterious disappearance of her husband, and she turns to her young son, James, for emotional ballast and meaning. Janet lands a job as a reporter for the Montgomery Observer and settles in the state capital where she covers the Civil Rights movement as a Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist. Even as her professional career flourishes, she remains vaguely unsatisfied. Despite their geographical separation and different paths, both are buffeted by the winds of change sweeping through the South in the 1950s. Sharing their hopes and fears, dreams and nightmares, triumphs and tragedies in a vivid and unsparing correspondence, Mildred and Janet continue to navigate a journey to find meaning and hope in an indifferent world.

A Place of Rest for Our Gallant Boys is the story of both Civil War horrors and hope - of Army surgeons and civilians risking their own lives to save others. It is the story of heroes and heroines who worked tirelessly in the wards of a military hospital to heal sick and broken soldiers' bodies. Gallipolis, Ohio, was uniquely situated to become a hospital site. Its proximity to early Civil War battles in western Virginia and location on the Ohio River made it an ideal place to receive patients arriving via steamboat from remote battlefields and field hospitals. The people who cared for the ailing warriors came from all quarters: a young teacher who switched to nursing when hospital cots filled her classroom; a New England surgeon who survived Confederate capture and a bloody Southern battle to take charge of the Army hospital; a hospital steward who nursed his regimental comrade back from the brink of death, and how together they ended up treating casualties in Gallipolis.
