As war rages, Peter and his father flee their home, taking with them a treasure box that holds something more precious than jewels. They journey through mud and rain and long cold nights, and soon their survival becomes more important than any possessions they carry.

Although midlife has been traditionally viewed as a time of decline, science and experience are demonstrating that most of our fears are unsupported. For many women it can be a time to rediscover important aspects of themselves that have been left due to the responsibilities of motherhood and careers. In Stable Wisdom, lifelong horsewoman Shirley Potterton provides a one-of-a-kind guide for women on a midlife journey that encourages transformation and positive changes with the help of an equine companion. Potterton, whose love for horses was rekindled at midlife, relies on experiences from her own journey of self-discovery as well as others' to share powerful tools and exercises to help women embrace the wisdom of an intuitive creature in order to move forward, develop new skills, and utilize innate strengths. Through a step-by-step plan that can be applied with or without a horse, women can learn how to - listen to the inner voice for direction; - create and renew energy levels; - develop a courageous approach to life; - bring insight, wisdom, and experience to leadership roles; and - initiate self-reflection without judgment. Stable Wisdom provides valuable guidance, tools, and confidence for any woman in midlife who dares to think big and is ready to discover her own unique wisdom and implement exciting life changes.

In God’s Treasure Box, author Cynthia Fortenberry exemplifies what it is to be living life as a true believer in today’s upside-down world.

Fortenberry offers a look at a variety of subjects including fear, choice and consequences, salvation and rededication, the importance of scripture, Christianity, and the pitfalls of the world. Fortenberry communicates that God wants us to have a clear destiny, to keep moving forward and to understand that the struggles we face today give us strength for tomorrow. With his love, we can live in an evil world with new eyes and open hearts.
There are some who might say adventure is a young mans gamebut is age the only indicator of youth? Can someone be brave and wild at an older age, as well, especially if filled with passion? Along the beaches of the Dead Sea, a group of varied archaeologists come together to seek adventure, no matter the cost. Jon and his team are mostly young, but aging Professor Craft isnt one to let the young people take charge. Its been years since his last big find, and hes hungry for glory once again, perhaps in the form of a Dead Sea Scroll. But the team soon stumbles upon ancient puzzles and mystery that could very well end in death. The professor might be weaker in body but he is strong in mind and wiser than his younger cohorts. As the dig unearths secret after secret, he feels a great find is close at hand. Yet, how far are these scientists willing to go to be the one to make the big discovery? Will ambition and intrigue turn to murder in the name of greed?
Emulating the format of Raising a Modern-Day Princess, authors Doreen Hanna and Karen Whiting seek to help parents and grandparents cultivate strong relationships and encourage the spiritual formation in their daughters using examples, Bible teaching on the fruit of the Spirit, and a variety of creative activities that are based on Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). By implementing the ideas in this book, mothers (as well as fathers) will be equipped to understand and guide their daughters through each step of becoming His “princess.” This will include perceiving a daughter’s unique personality and gifts, refining her character through training and discipline, and modeling the attributes of a daughter of the King. This book is a follow-up to both Raising a Modern-Day Knight (by Robert Lewis) and Raising a Modern-Day Princess by Pam Farrel and Doreen Hanna. While the latter book is aimed at parents of girls ages 12 and up, this book focuses on building the Christian character of younger girls.

Sexually abused at a tender age, Charity grew up bitter and hateful of the world. Decades later, she crafts an open letter to her daughter Savannah relating her shady past and the gems of lessons she picked along the way. As a child haunted by traumatic memories, Charity was difficult to deal with. She got involved with witchcraft and broke her aunt's (who raised Charity after her mother left) heart by playing games with her hard-earned money. Growing up, she formed an allegiance with friends Trish and Rhodam and depended on them for support. Both girls were there for her when she needed them in moments of distress and extreme sadness. Walking between them was what kept her going. It was not until both friends left her side that Charity felt powerless. Struggling to put her life together, Charity went to Samaria to visit the Well of Jacob. While there, she poured her heart out to Moshia the deliverer. Will Charity finally find peace and move on to the future without tagging along her heavily-shadowed past?
