Life crises can throw you into a tail-spin—a lost job, a failed relationship, a struggling business, a financial mess. Where do you start? How do you pull it together? How do you begin again? Tom Holladay experienced a catastrophe first-hand when a sudden flood in California destroyed his home, his church, and the homes of many church members. Tom and his congregation had to rebuild, and they used the principles in the book of Nehemiah to get back on their feet. Now a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church, Tom will help you discover seven principles for putting it together again that will give you the direction you need to get rolling on that fresh start. Holladay will walk you through seeing every problem as an opportunity, facing the obstacles head on and taking your first step, knowing how to expect and reject opposition, build on your success, and dedicating yourself to the One who rebuilds our souls. The task of starting again can seem impossible. And sometimes you just need to rebuild your confidence and regain a sense of purpose. If you’re trying to find the emotional energy, but you just don’t have it in you, let Holladay encourage you. He understands how difficult and rewarding the business of rebuilding is. This book is your encouraging how-to guide to starting again and stepping into a better future.

ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

Discover the history of one of the most influential Christian publishers in the world In 1870, a young man started a publishing company in a young city. Fleming H. Revell was just twenty-one when he set up shop on Madison Street in Chicago, partnering with his brother-in-law, Dwight L. Moody, already a well-known evangelist. From the stepping stone of publishing Moody's sermons, Revell launched into decades of collaboration, first in Chicago and then in New York City, with authors such as R. A. Torrey, Charles H. Spurgeon, Hannah Whitall Smith, William Jennings Bryan, Catherine Marshall, David Wilkerson, Corrie ten Boom, Charles Colson, and Helen Steiner Rice. So how did this East Coast publishing powerhouse end up as a division of a family-owned, independent publisher in humble West Michigan? Who were the owners, authors, and employees who carried the torch into the twenty-first century? This is the story of a passion for the power of the printed word. A story of rises and falls, triumphs and trials, missteps and miracles. Discover how, through 150 tumultuous years of history, the Revell legacy has been handed down through a series of diligent people dedicated to the work of offering hope and help to readers everywhere.
