All she wants is to keep her title. To stay at the top of her game. The world is harsh and Tory has already learned many of the harder lessons. Her lifes story has always been about control and the cowboy code, but will this year teach her the toughest lesson? Her own stubborn will may help her escape death, but will she come through unscathed? Can she remain true to who she is? In order to survive the pain, the cowardly men, the lies, and the passion that will threaten to tear her apart, Tory will have to hold tightly to what has always been important friendship, loyalty, and always Rusty.
The past few months have been full of highs and heart-wrenching lows. Even when everyone told her it was time to hang up the spurs, she and Rusty fought it. Their comeback has been record-breaking and awe-inspiring. The coveted All-Around Cowgirl title they've been fighting for all year is now only a few points away. Will they be able to maintain their winning streak and hang onto their focus long enough to finish the season, or will there be too many distractions? Will life get in the way now that Tory has stepped out of that little sister shadow and is ready to fully embrace the woman she is going to be? What was once a simple plan for her future, is now complex; and what Tory once thought she'd never want in her life, she now finds herself considering, almost dreaming of. What Tory once loved about herself-who she once thought she was-she now questions. Jake ignited a fire deep inside Tory, one she knows she'll never be able to extinguish. He brought her to a new high, which she now yearns for as much as she craves the feeling she gets when she races Rusty barefoot through their pastures. As her identity shifts, will her priorities and goals in life change as well? What happens when that choice is made for her?One thing is for sure, this third edition to Tory's saga will put everything to the test, love, strength, and even loyalty.

Jesus was human, like you and me. If the gospel is true, he still is. Christians worldwide believe that Jesus is God. But this belief wasn’t the starting point for Jesus’ earliest followers. While Jesus’ humanity was a given for the disciples, his divinity was a truth they grew into believing—it was a journey of faith. As Christians today, we are also called into a faith journey—this time, to rediscover Jesus’ humanity. Yes, we believe that Jesus is God, but do we truly believe that Jesus is human? And if so, how does that transform our own experience of being human? Through eye-opening yet down-to-earth reflections, Jesus Journey invites you to encounter Jesus again—as if for the first time—by experiencing his breathing, heart-beating, body-and-blood, crying-and-laughing humanity. Join Bible teacher and storyteller Trent Sheppard as he shines new light on the vibrant humanity of the historical Jesus through an up-close look at Jesus’ relationships with Mary and Joseph, with the God he called Abba, with his closest friends and followers, and how, ultimately, his crucifixion and resurrection finally and forever redefine what we mean by the word God. Come encounter the human who radically transforms our view of God. Come encounter the God who forever changes what it means to be human.

Step into a Journey of Heartwarming Americana Imagine the lush, rolling hills of Pennsylvania, where a young girl runs free, her feet kissing the earth with every step. Barefoot in the Hills: A Country Girl's Tale is your personal invitation to walk alongside Emily, whose story unfolds with the wild spirit of nature itself.

Emily confronts the lure of city lights, her journey of self-discovery stretching from the East to the West Coast, from college halls to the throes of urban life. When a profound loss calls her back to her roots, Emily must grapple with the essence of who she has become. As she rebuilds the bridge between her past and present, you will feel the resilience of her spirit and the strength of the bonds that tie her to the hills of her heritage.
